the world stopped turning after my fall

Characters: Archer/Gilgamesh [AU3] and you!
Setting: Dorm room 2-12 initially, then on to other floors
Format: Whatever you prefer
Summary: Newly arrived and quick to shirk heavy duty explanations and get down to the business of exploring. That's Archer for you.
Warnings: Arrogance and dangerousness if provoked. Typical Gilgamesh.

Dormitory 02-12

Waking up to the feeling of not being able to move was not a completely new experience to Gilgamesh, unfortunately enough. After all, it had not been that long ago that he had expended just about all of his prana and then been overtaken by Saber's Excalibur, and waking up from that feeling had not been fun at all.

But he did not remember falling asleep in a bed. Did he even make it to the couch? Either way, he was staring at a ceiling that was unfamiliar, and his head was cushioned in such a way that--

--Ah. And there was the ability to move again. His lips quirk into a frown as he sits up and stares at ... his clothes. What was this thing supposed to be? Whatever it was, he was better off without it, and so he immediately unzipped the skin-tight suit and began tugging the material off of his arms.

Depending on how long it takes for someone to discover the new resident of room 12 on floor 2, he may be stripped down to half-wearing the suit, not wearing the suit at all, or be in the process of changing into a pair of black pants and an orange v-neck shirt.


Various dormitory levels

After getting out of the dorm room, it's time to properly acclimate himself to his surroundings.
That means wandering around. Gilgamesh doesn't really glance at the nameplates as he goes along, instead focusing on how everything looks pretty much the same wherever he goes. Boring.

He can be seen looking at some of the network terminals as he goes along, though he's not yet to the point of actually operating them. Maybe later, after he's gotten a little bored of exploring by foot. On the dormitory first floor, he's even looking at the open elevator with mild curiosity. Because this floor numbering system is downright odd.


Floor 81

A fascinating display.

Gilgamesh cranes his head back as far as his neck allows, taking in the strange view of the tower that seemed to stretch onward beyond earth and the stars. Seated at the window and quiet in his musings, he wonders if this is a view like what the gods could see. Was this the empty space that Enki sliced through in its devastating drive towards earth?

The mere question sends him back to his battle with Saber, and he finds himself scolding Enki for having failed him at such a critical moment. Because muttering to yourself while staring into space is definitely not strange. (But muttering to a pair of golden swords really wouldn't be much better, anyway.)


Various first block floors

The very idea of exploring new surroundings seems to give energy to the golden-haired man's actions. While he has no set destination on any of the floors he visits, he looks confident; a sharp smile never seems too far away from his face. After puzzling out the elevator earlier, it seemed fitting to go out and actually look at some of the floors in between elevator-visited areas.

As you say, I am not typical of my Class, Archer. I keep a portion of my Mind, even when under the Mad Enhancement, rendering me all the more formidable.

In this place, the Enhancement has fallen from me. Which is fortunate indeed for all here-- but especially for yourself of course, that you might be entertained.

[He doesn't mention that his Master is here in the Tower. This Archer differs from the one he remembers, but he gives nothing away without forethought.]

Ugh, apologies for the awful lag!

I fear you overreach yourself, as your assumption is incorrect. I may be lessened in Rage, but not in Power.

[There is an answering, slightly more grim smirk on Lancelot's face.]
We do not Battle for the Grail here, of course-- but should you require proof of my words, I will be pleased to provide it to you.

Ah, but I am confident in that as well, Archer. Though doubtless for reasons you would not care for.

[The laughter, he ignores. It is familiar at any rate.]

Tell me, if you will, how fare you in your War?

I see.

I have raised my Archer's ire, certainly-- whether or not he might consider that to be entertaining is a thing you could more readily say than I.

As for confidence, I shudder to think of a Servant, or indeed any Warrior or Knight without it. My own is firm. I will take the Grail for my Master, this I have vowed.

[Lancelot's rather grim little smirk returns to his lips. Of, it had been satisfying, ripping away the "King's" weapons, discarding those he found lacking, and relaunching the rest.

Even if their second meeting had favored him less (due to his Master's folly), Lancelot fancies himself more than a match for Archer.]


You are mistaken-- and about more than my chances, if you believe that I care for your anger, no matter which countenance masks it.

There is no War between us here, it is true-- but seek me out for a spar, at a time of your choosing, and I will prove my words no idle boast.

I do not exist to amuse you-- here in this place, or elsewhere. But I will endeavor to give satisfaction, should you seek me out for entertainment.

It would only be right, for you have provided me much diversion today.
[Lancelot's smirk gains a dark edge as he speaks.]

You may ask for me by name, as I do not fear to give it to you. I am called Sir Lancelot.

As to Anger-- the hope must surely be yours, Archer, that you never face mine.
