Characters: Anyone coming to Zo's carnival
Setting: Cafeteria; please specify the date and location in the carnival in your subject header!
Format: Anything
Summary: Zo has set up a carnival for the residents, but it's not meant to last. Anyone wandering after the bombs go off might see things they never wanted to see...
Warnings: Psychological and body horror
Note: Characters entering the carnival from the 27th to the 30th will experience visions! Please refer to the info post for details and reply to this thread if your character enters the carnival during these days.

[The carnival has taken up the entirety of the cafeteria. A large roller coaster and ferris wheel tower over the residents, while a child-sized roller coaster, a merry-go-round, and spinning teacups project much less daunting silhouettes. Stands are set up with standard carnival foods available, from ice cream to cotton candy. These stands do not ask for anything as payment.

On the twenty-seventh, the carnival appearance changes. The machinery all appears rusted and broken down, as if weathered with decades of rain and snow. Plants grow up and around the rides, ruining them, and all the food is rotten.]

[And to that, he scoffs.]

You would do well to remember that I am obviously the superior version.

[With that new knowledge under his belt, he assesses the girl again. He still stood by his original assessment that she would not be difficult to deal with if that was his desire.

But he still had no idea who this girl was. She gave off no presence like a Servant. A Master whose Command Spells he could not see?]

Then who are you?

alright, finished up the edit!

[glassceiling]

Servant Assassin. Of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

[She holds back from telling him about whether or not she has a Master. Even if he seems to be nicer than the Archer from her world is, she still doesn't like the idea of him bothering Claudia.]

[bowandblade]

Servant Assassin. The most shadowed of Heroic Spirits.

[Another from the Fourth War -- or a Fourth War, really. At this point, he can't say he's surprised to hear how prevalent his own appearance is across other Holy Grail Wars, even if it's somewhat strange that these Servants came from an earlier War.

Ultimately, however, he was more interested in these other versions of himself -- especially with this mentioning of at least one of them owning a weapon that could split heaven and earth.]

Very well. I will keep your presence in mind.

[glassceiling]

And I shall keep your presence in mind as well, Archer.

[She does not make the same offer of alliance as she did with Lancelot. Though she and Claudia are "allied" with the Archer of her world, it is an alliance she would rather not have. Unless Claudia orders her otherwise, she is fine with treating Archer as just another unconnected Servant.]

[bowandblade]

[He smirks at that answer, turning to make his leave. Though the rusted carnival still left him with that displeased feeling of distaste, meeting a new Servant certainly did improve his mood.

And with that, he drops off of the Ferris wheel.]

[glassceiling]

[Assassin watches him go. As he disappears from her vision, she does not follow him. She just hops onto another car of the wheel.]
