TEST DRIVE MEME



Starting now, we'll put up a new one of these very month! Feel free to use the current setting of Pandora (Christmas in July) or make up your own! You can also use the following scenarios if you'd prefer:

1. Mushroom Kingdom

Have you ever wanted to be a fairy? Well now you are, even if the answer was no! The City is a big, big place, all of a sudden. Houses are roomy affairs inside giant mushrooms, there are colorful flowers everywhere you look, and the animals are always friendly! Unfortunately, the only food items being sold in the market this month are fruit, fruit, and.... more fruit.

2. School Town

You may be too old to attend the academy, but that doesn't seem to matter; your attendance is mandatory anyway. Or perhaps you're there to teach, because you're the only resident of Pandora that possesses a certain skill. It doesn't matter if it can't be learned; you have to come up with a lesson plan anyway. At least the uniforms aren't some god awful color, right?

3. Zombie Apocalypse.

There's no coming back from death in Pandora, so you'd better do all you can to survive. Three quarters of the city are already infected, and this is the last stand. Are you going to pool your resources and try to make it together, or is it time to stop trusting others and go it alone until the month is over?

[It is unfortunate that he already does remember the 4th War. It is just that this Saber is not the one he remembers walking with within it.]

I must remind you a great deal of this person to draw such a strong reaction.

[Diarmuid's expression is curious, but also concerned. The other servant does not look very well and that upsets Diarmuid even if he is not entirely sure why that is.]

Forgive me if I am overstepping my bounds since we have just met, but you look very unwell. Do you need to sit down? Shall I get something for you?

I'm fine--

[ Arthur nearly calls Diarmuid "Lancer" again, but he stops himself short and corrects himself before the word leaves his tongue. ]

--Saber. As I said, I only thought you were someone you are obviously not.

[ His eyes fall to the other Servant's missing arm though and he can't help wondering why or how it happened, his expression turning to one that reflects his own guilt than he means for it too. Surely, it could not have to do with his sacrifice of Gae Buidhe... could it? ]

[Diarmuid's eyes narrow in annoyance. It's obvious that the other servant isn't being entirely truthful with him. Not only had he almost called him by the incorrect class again, but the way his eyes keep going to Diarmuid's missing arm and the guilt on his face all suggest that not only had they known each other at some point, but known each other well.]

While I wish I could forget some of the things I have been through, there are no gaps in my memory. I know I have not met you before today. However, your denial aside, it is obvious you have met me before....or more specifically, a version of me. One that was not maimed or tainted. The me from the 4th War.

[He gives the servant a closer look taking in the his regal bearing and coloring. Then, Diarmuid smiles.]

Of course...it has been so long since I saw her with clear eyes, but I should have guessed. Your bearing is the same. Your nobility...

You are Saber as well... It is the only class you could be...King of Knights.

[ Arthur doesn't return the smile. ]

..."Her". You truly aren't who I thought you were then.

[ And he's not certain if he's disappointed or not, honestly. Diarmuid seems unusually happy to recognize who he is-- which he's surprised by, considering how events transpired during the last few moments they crossed paths. Did events unfold differently in his universe? Did Kiritsugu not force Kayneth to order Diarmuid to kill himself? ]

We have never met.

[Diarmuid's smile falters slightly, but he doesn't allow it to vanish completely.]

No, it seems we are from much different worlds or at least, much different times. I am still honored to meet you again even if you are a different version than the one I knew.

[He pauses a moment, hand going up to unconsciously rub at his shoulder.]

Since you knew a version of me from the 4th war, I can only hope he and you parted in a better way than I have parted from the Saber I knew not once, but twice.
