001. ♔ +1 Hero Type
Characters: ProtoSaber and you!
Setting: Various floors; dorms, the beach on floor 62, the kitchen on floor 60, and the cafeteria.
Format: Prose to begin with, but I will match you.
Summary: Saber has just arrived in the Tower and he is searching for his Master. (Note: If you've started a thread with Saber in the Test Drive Meme and would like to continue it here, just drop me a note!)
Warnings: Uh. A King Arthur who's a dude.
♔ DORMITORIES
Immediately upon his awakening, the first thing Saber thinks to do is, predictably, look for Ayaka. This is not to say that their sudden, inexplicable change of location and the documents the apparent "hosts" of this strange place provided for him do not concern him, for they do, but what is the point of worrying about any of that if he is not with his Master? For a Servant, being unable to sense the Master's presence is more than simply alarming— it serves as knowledge of how real the likelihood of vanishing is; for Saber, it is proof of his failure to fulfill his purpose, his only goal, because neither he nor Ayaka ever wanted the Grail and all the pursuit of it entails.
He checks every floor of the dormitories and finds evidence of the girl being somewhere in the Tower — her name on a wall — but he has yet to find her. Asking around doesn't seem to get him much either, so he tries to think like Ayaka. Where would she spend her time? What would she do while here alone? Stay somewhere safe... The living quarters seem to be the best place for that so far...
Ah, but Ayaka is a human girl. She does need to eat.
♔ FLOOR 62 ; BEACH
As luck would have it, the cafeteria is near the ground level of the tower and while that didn't seem like it would be trouble at first, realizing that the dormitories are on the highest floors of a tower that seemingly stretches on forever was a shocking moment. Just what was this place? Saber opted for the stairs and as he began his descent, he checked several floors in hopes he'd come across one that seemed like an ideal hiding place for one particular awkward, teenaged girl.
One such floor is obviously supposed to be a beach, but as far as Saber knows, it's not possible to contain an entire beach complete with its own sun and wind, brine and sand, indoors. It's unnatural, therefore the only reasonable explanation he can come up with is magi. Obviously, magic on a scale he's seen only a few times in his life. He doesn't know enough about magecraft to know if this is even possible for an average magus. Some time spent surveying the waves leads him not to trust the safeness of the water's movements and he has to wonder why someone would craft an ocean that seems so eager to swallow someone up.
♔ FLOOR 60 ; KITCHEN
Knowledge of modern technology imparted upon him from the Holy Grail only goes so far when it comes to understanding all the equipment inside the huge kitchen. He understands refrigeration and some of the tools, but he's never seen a freezer as large as the one he finds here, so he walks inside of it, curious.
"Do they prepare meals here? It's still a long ways from the cafeteria."
♔ CAFETERIA
With the amount of people bustling around, a mealtime is underway and everything smells rather... floral. Being a Servant of sorts, Saber doesn't require food or sleep, but as he passes some of the tables, he can't help glancing at the plates of food and wondering what they taste like. It's been a very long time since he's enjoyed such a well prepared meal and a good cup of tea. Perhaps if Ayaka is here...

Cafeteria
[An angel has noticed all his glancing.]
There's more than enough for everyone. You can have some if you want.
no subject
Ah... in a sense. Is everyone here a refugee from a supposedly dead world?
no subject
[She comes a little closer.] I'm V/V. What's your name?
no subject
Saber. It's good to meet you, V/V.
no subject
no subject
I do know an Archer. Golden fellow?
no subject
[Well, it is true.]
no subject
Your... friend.
no subject
[really Saber so rude]
no subject
[ Saber has dealt with obsession before and not just Archer's obsession with Ayaka either. He's seen innocent-seeming young girls obsess over those they shouldn't before and because he finds it so impossible for Archer to have actual friends, he wonders if this is perhaps what's going on here. He won't deny that the other Servant has good charisma, but he also can't believe that Archer isn't somehow using this girl if her friendship is welcome at all. ]
no subject
[You're too cynical B|]
Don't you need to be friends two ways to be friends at all?
no subject
That's why I find your claim unusual.
no subject
no subject
It's... far more complicated than that, I'm afraid.
no subject
[She's not really a counselor or anything, though.]
no subject
He's my enemy in a war that we are fighting in our own worlds. He also has a strange obsession with my Master.
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
We shall see.
no subject
Do you need some help settling in?
no subject
Actually... not quite. I am looking for my Master-- a girl named Ayaka Sajyou though. Have you ever met someone by that name?
[ If she is "friends" with Archer, there's a chance she may have. ]
