[There's nothing to show what turned the comm on. Charlie's several feet away, standing in what looks like a fighting stance. A rapier appears in her hand, the length shimmering in metal, the hilt inlaid with a golden grip. She'd call it gaudy if she looked at it, but she doesn't. She lashes out, instead, slashing at the dummy, striking from all sides in an inexperienced and dangerous frenzy of attacks.

She curses when the blade nearly flies out of her hand, catching it by the fingernails. A downward swing drives it against the dummy's shoulder. There's a crackle of electricity before it explodes into flame.]

Frak!

[She glances back, and sees the comm. The moment her eyes lock on it, it turns off.]


ooc: Charlie's just exploring her three abilities - sword conjuration, electric shocks, and tech-based interfacing. ^^

[She stares at Saber, mouth slightly agape. She's surprised by the sudden passion, as much as the spillage of words from this stoic woman.

She can't help but notice how beautiful Saber looks, either, when she's passionate like this... Though she tries not to. She'd rather not ruin this.]

...You must have been a pretty epic knight.

[This time her smile contains a touch of sadness and regret.]

I simply did my duty. My regret is that it was not enough.

[She pauses for a moment]

In some way, perhaps being summoned here will do some measure of good. If not for my kingdom, then for innocents here.

Oh. Something happened? [She shifted sword again, concerned eyes on Saber. She isn't sure what to do with Saber's seemingly cryptic past of knighthood. But she can tell the woman feels bad.]

How'd you get to be a knight, anyway?

Action

[everdistant_utopia]

The kingdom fell.

[Fortunately, she didn't have to dwell on it too long. Unfortunately, her path to knighthood was so intertwined with her rule that it was difficult to separate the two.]

I was entrusted to a knight shortly after I was born, and was raised and trained alongside his son. In truth, I've never known any other way to live.

...Have you ever been in a club?

A club?

Action

[not_really_charlie]

You know - drinks, dance, relaxing?

Action

[everdistant_utopia]

That sounds somewhat like a tavern...though I have no recollection of any dancing.

"Maybe we could check one out," she offered. It sounded to her as if Saber could use a little relaxation. A little fun.

Exploring certainly seemed like a good idea. And while she was more than aware that the current era was vastly different than her own, there were more than a few specific details that had been left out. How taverns were in this day and age was not, apparently, vital to fighting other Servants and winning the Holy Grail.

"That would be most agreeable," Saber consented easily.

Up for a log, or anything?

[not_really_charlie]

"Come on," she offered, gesturing for Saber. "I'll show you one..."

Sounds good!

[everdistant_utopia]

"Very well," Saber replied, sheathing her weapon and following easily, even with her short stature.

How's this? http://capeandcowllogs.dreamwidth.org/2151154.html

(Can change it if you need. ^^ )

It's fine! Just been sick this week :(

[everdistant_utopia]

Gahk. Everything okay?

[not_really_charlie]

Getting better, trying to catch up on tags

[everdistant_utopia]

That's good. :)
