Our Avatars Were In A Room Together: The RP

Hallway

Wait, you lived in a palace?

Hallway (Caster)

-Hmm...?-

-Caster actually looks a little perplexed...-

"Yes... I lived behind palace walls, sheltered from most of my beloved Troy... I was granted reprieve to visit Athena's temple, to pray to her..."

-...Even then, though... Things weren't happy...-

"...My kingdom... I wished to see more of it, but it was not within my power to do so..."

-...Her life was very controlled...-

-The only times she tried to escape were to prevent the terrible fates before her eyes...-

-She... remembers the time she saw that ACCURSED horse...-

-She wasted no time, grabbing a torch and trying to burn the thing to the ground...-

-...Screaming and crying the entire time as the soldiers restrained her, declaring her mad...-

"...Even so... I love my beloved Troy... To this day, I remember her fondly..."

-...Even if Troy's people had lost all faith in Caster...-

Hallway

...

(Wendy looks down as she processes all that...)

Main Room (Caster)

-Ah, seems like the two of you have made it to the Main Room, now...-

-Caster seems to register the silence and weight...-

-...Her past is one that shouldn't be dwelled on... For Wendy's future shouldn't need to be weighed down by such a tragic life...-

"...Will you share your tale with me, Wendy...? This 'Fairy Tail' you speak of... Warmth radiates from them... A shimmering light..."

-They seem to be her family, and Caster can just feel that whoever they are, Wendy cherishes them...-

Main Room

Oh, um... sure...

(Wendy proceeds to summarize the Nirvana arc of Fairy Tail, because unfortunately, this narrator is not at all skilled in such things.)

Kitchen (Caster)

-They two are already in the kitchen, and Caster has been working patiently on the meal for Wendy.-

-Her expression remains vacant, but she's very intently listening to Wendy.-

"My... such events taking place, for such a young lady such as yourself..."

-All of that danger... Although she doesn't know much about Wendy's world, she can imagine that it all must have been so frightening...-

"I am very grateful to your new friends... For them to support you, and to bring you under their wings... Yes, they're lovely people... A true family..."

-...Oh! Seems like Cassandra has brought back the meal for Wendy, placing it on the table for her.-

"For you, Wendy... I hope that it suits your tastes..."

-It's... whatever a Trojan princess would have eaten, plus some hot chocolate!-

"Please enjoy..."

-She has a small smile again.-

-...But wait, she doesn't have any food for herself...?-

Kitchen

(Wendy just nods as Caster responds to her story... then she blinks when she receives the food.)

Wait... what are you gonna eat?

Kitchen (Caster)

-Oh? Wendy's curious if she's going to be eating anything.-

"I'll be fine... We Servants can survive without such things..."

-But... even so...-

"...If you desire it, I will prepare myself something, as well..."

Kitchen

...I think you'd enjoy it.

Kitchen (Caster)

-...-

-...Caster gets a tiny smile again.-

"...A meal... Yes, it would be nice..."

-Caster hates to lie. To speak the truth, that is a virtue, in her eyes...-

-She admits that a nice, warm meal would be nice... She doesn't remember the last time she had one.-

-Previous summonings... She's unable to remember them, so... that would mean the last time she remembers eating would have been while she was alive...-

"Very well... Thank you for your kindness, Wendy... I'm very blessed to have such a considerate Master..."

-With that, she rises from her seat, and begins looking into the refrigerator.-

-Caster may be a little strange, but it seems like she's fond of you, Wendy.-

Upstairs

Whatever!

(Frustratedly tries to start sewing again, only to re-poke himself with the needle. subsequent bristling and gentle quaking from brewing rage...)

Don't you got better shit to do? Ain't that egg guy fuckin' around somewhere where you can spy on him?

Kitchen

(The mingled sweetness of cinnamon, chocolate and various spices waft through the air. As Cassandra catches this scent, she may notice a beautiful, diminutive woman◊ stirring a pot on the stove, humming some soft thing to herself as she does so.)

(She seems... serene? Kind of a sad air about her, but it looks like she's enjoying making whatever this tastiness is.)

Main Room

(Professor Membrane sits contemplative on the couch, scribbling down equations and diagrams frantically with his brow furrowed in deep scientific thought...)

...yes, hm...! And now that I have sussed it out in the infallible realm of physics, I can safely, with 99.9% certainty, conclude that this, in fact, is NOT my beautiful house!

(He THRUSTS the pencil into the air as though it were a sword.)

Kitchen (Caster)

-...?!-

-This feeling...-

-Caster looks in the direction of the woman, face losing its smile and instead becoming a bit more neutral... although in that dreamy, distant sort of way.-

"..."

-She watches as the woman continues her cooking, wary, and yet... intrigued.-

-Just what is it she's making...?-

-That scent is absolutely astounding, perhaps foretelling something that transcends the decadence of the hot chocolate...!-

-As she's established, she knows that she is not in a Grail War... but she still needs to be careful...-

-She finally closes the refrigerator.-

"Please pardon my intrusion..."

-Lancer, you can hear a very soft voice, one that seems almost wistful...-

-If you were to look, you would see a very young lady (If she's lucky, she's around 20, physically...) in a white wedding dress, a veil obscuring a little bit of her face...-

-Vivid, and yet distant, purple eyes are visible through the veil, and her face is very blank. It's almost as though she's not looking at you, and more looking beyond you...-

-Graceful, but something about her seems... well, it's like she's seen many things. A quiet sadness...-

"...But I found myself very curious... That delectable scent, brought together by gifts of the Earth... A mystery to me, one to be unveiled..."

-She... seems to speak a bit cryptically, which may come across as a little more unsettling with how her dreamy and detached tone is.-

Kitchen

…?

(Lancer peers over her shoulder, the stirring briefly halting. Though short, she looks a bit older than Cassandra, old enough to be a mom, at least. She smiles as she looks her fellow Heroic Spirit over, though her eyes betray a slight apprehension— a Servant is a Servant, after all.)

...Oh, it's fine, mija. Nothing to get too excited over, just a little hot chocolate for the evening... Though this stuff has helped me through some hard times, admittedly... There's going to be plenty if you'd like some.

(even so... nothin wrong with a little charity between girls who are vaguely sad... Worst comes to worst, this chick's Master could probably put anything bad to a stop.)

Kitchen (Caster)

-A woman more mature than herself... Yes, it definitely matches the idea of a motherly nature...-

-...Motherly...-

-...It makes her miss her own dear twin sons... Teledamus and Pelops...-

-...?! Wait, it's hot chocolate...?! The hot chocolate Lune provided her with didn't have the scent of cinnamon!-

-Caster actually seems a little surprised by it...!-

"Hot chocolate... Why, I only tasted it for the first time upon my arrival to this place... It seems like yours is prepared differently..."

-However, differences in preparation definitely aren't a bad thing...! Honestly, the idea of trying some different hot chocolate is nice. The idea of variation... Changing... Yes, she loves that idea.-

-Even if she fears the future cannot be changed... options still appeal to her, all the same...-

-...S-She's allowed to have some?!-

"Oh, that's certainly generous of you, but I fear I may be overstepping my bounds if I oblige..."

-...But... ah, if it isn't tempting...!-

Kitchen

(She stifles a giggle. Poor kid, so deferential... Almost like herself at that age, except perhaps more genuine... Unless she's good at hiding her true intent— which Malinalli herself admittedly was proficient in at that age.)

Oh no, don't worry one bit. I intentionally made a lot 'cuz I figured it'd smell too good to keep to myself, ¿no? Here, I'll get you a cup...

(And dadgumit, there she goes, that absolute madlass is pouring her fellow Servant a damn cuppa. OOOOOOOO and she's gotten out the whip cream for a garnish... AND SHE'S DUSTING THE WHIP CREAM WITH A PINCH OF CINNAMON, HOOOOOOOO...!)

Kitchen (Caster)

-Ah, she's getting it anyway...!-

"If you are certain... Thank you for your hospitality..."

-Caster actually does smile just a tiny bit. She's still a little wary, but... at the very least Lancer seems pleasant. Far less strict than that other Servant she and Wendy encountered (Although, Caster can't help but wonder what became of her...).-

-She watches as Lancer sets up the cup, and there's almost... a childlike curiosity visible as she does.-

"Truly a beautiful display... It's lovely..."

-She's seen some lovely dishes, of course. Only best for one of the princesses of the kingdom (Even if she was declared mad and kept locked away in her room), but something like this is brand new to her.-

Rooftop

-Seeking some solace from Peter, Otto clambers onto the roof of the room with his tentacles-

-The stares that kid kept giving him... as if it wasn't uncomfortable enough-

Kitchen

(Allows herself a restrained little warm smile as she passes Caster the cup... Girl's Week(s???) with her supreme goddess helped her emotional state for sure, but it's... nhhhh, still so tough and weird-feeling to allow yourself to, like... hope and enjoy the moment and all that crap... Hey, Aichi's safe and all and he and his girlfriend seem to be doing well and things are maybe Not Awful but NHHHHH...)

Eheh, I'm lucky they do the cream-whipping for me nowadays. Where I come from, it'd just be the chocolate by itself in a little plain stoneware cup, no room or time for flourishes. But I mean, since I can, y'know...? I enjoy it a bit...

(Pours herself a little cup too, giving herself a nice little whipcream dollop also...)

Rooftop

(AAAAAAA GOOD FUCKING GOD something just BURST through the roof from below—!)

(holy SHIT it's... a man??? with rocket boots... Just kinda... hovering and holding his hand over his brow as he scours the horizon as though he didn't just make a hole in the roof with his body, son of a BITCH and he's got a steaming cup of tea in the other hand!)

Hm, yes, and this is most certainly not my beautiful city! Fascinating...

Kitchen (Caster)

-Caster tenderly takes the cup, giving a small nod before sipping it.-

-Ah... Sweet hot chocolate...!-

"Yes... Time marches in many ways... So many things I would never have dreamed to exist are here, right before our very eyes..."

-Meanwhile poor Caster was never given much chance to cook. She... is vaguely aware of how to cook, but like... not really?-

-Honestly, the food Wendy got probably wasn't that good...-

"...It's very nice..."

-Caster finds herself wondering...-

-...Perhaps she could ask this fellow Servant about the circumstances here...? She's fairly certain that Lancer can tell she's a Servant, and she must be aware that Caster can tell that she's a Servant...-

-Perhaps they could... come to some sort of truce...? At least for now...-

"This place... It's far different from what we know..."

Kitchen

"Hot cocoa, oooo-! Just what I needed..."

says this old fuck suddenly coming into the kitchen, eagerly fetching himself a cup

Roof

-Otto's tentacles shield him on impulse and he flinches-

GAH!

Kitchen (Caster)

-...?-

-Oh, a very strange older man has appeared before them...!-

-For him to take some of the hot chocolate for himself... Is he a friend of Lancer's?-

"A mysterious man..."

-She can't help but say that aloud, perhaps accidentally seeming a little rude.-

-Just to make certain, ''can' Caster sense any sign of the old man being a Servant, or no?-

Kitchen

(those spices, mmm... All that cinnamon and whatever other magical stuff, goddd it just makes it...)

Eheheh, thanks... Yeah, it's a weird place, isn't it? No Grail, for one, an—

(AAAAAA ew ew ew a fucking m*n.............. He gets, after a few seconds, a pleasant-ish smile, but with some Eyes™ behind it.)

Oh, help yourself! There's whipped cream right there, too... Where'd you come from, anyway.

Rooftop

Hm?

(The hovering rectangular man looks over his shoulder at Otto, giving a jovial wave once he sees him.)

Ah, good evening, I didn't see you there! Would you and your state-of-the-art cybernetic equipment happen to know why I'm in this strange location that isn't my town?

Roof

-His tentacles slowly relax their guard, but stay ready to pounce-

-He straightens up his labcoat a little-

If you are new here, and nobody has already told you, you are in another universe. Dimension. Something.

There's no decently proper word for it in any of the languages I have, so I default to science fiction. Your town is far behind.

Kitchen (Caster)

-Oh, Caster isn't exactly happy about him suddenly barging his way in, either.-

-Ah, if she ever allowed herself to express anger and hatred about the many times she was wronged by the men surrounding her... Why, the world would have probably ended long ago...-

-She gives a small nod to Lancer, before silently looking at the strange man.-

-She waits for him to speak.-
