Ⅰ The King has entered the building

[lyres]

[ It was early in the morning when Nero opened her eyes. She was in bed with someone else. She didn't know who, and in her still fuzzy mind, she honestly didn't care. All she cared about was that she wasn't too far from her own room, considering it was always a pain to slip back to her quarters without having half the Roman empire notice. Maybe they were in her room already? No, this bed wasn't even as half as royal as her bed, she knew that. This thing on the mattress wasn't silk. She really should open her eyes, yes, but it was warm and she was at ease.

But then again, last thing she remembered had nothing to do with Rome, or being alive for that matter. What it was? There was an increasingly nagging pressure at the back of her head. It was important, and it didn't have to do with the man she was sleeping with. It had to do...with her Master.

Right, her Master. Her beloved Hakuno. Or had that been a dream? Maybe she had drank too much wine and dreamt not only of her death, but also of her rise to Glory as a Servant -what a weird choice of words-, and maybe she had dreamt of that oddly dressed, meek girl she had grown to cherish every minute they had spent together. And now...now...

Nero, no, Saber opened her eyes, and was amazed, then surprised, and all the while naked. Morning in 505 Ricardo Street suddenly took a turn for the noisy, with things being flung around and a very confused droned husband being left unconscious and locked in a closet. Good morning. ]

Ａ．　Ｍｏｒｎｉｎｇ，　ｌｏｃｋｅｄ　ｔｏ　５０５　Ｒｉｃａｒｄｏ　Ｓｔｒｅｅｔ．

[ Saber is cooking, your argument is invalid.

She's also carefully avoiding everything in the house that shows her being all wifey to the dude she was sleeping with. And is that Hakuno? Saber is too scared to check the other rooms, not that she would accept she is scared, shut up. For now, she's fixing herself from breakfast, and doing extra for whoever might need to be fed as an apology. If she feels like untying her fake hubby. Maybe.

She's humming. ]

Ｂ．　Ａｒｏｕｎｄ　ｔｏｗｎ，　ｍｏｓｔ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　ｄａｙ．　Ｏｐｅｎ　ｔｏ　ｅｖｅｒｙｏｎｅ．

[ Being the amazing person she is, Saber has taken to explore the city, but not before modifying the ridiculous clothes she had been given into something a lot easier to deal with. Shorter skirts and less restraining shirts, boys and girls. She can found either staring at pets, buildings, or other people. Perhaps you? You don't even need to look weird, just...be around. Her walking is taking her all over Mayfield, but she's not entering any place just yet. ]

Ｃ．　Ｐｈｏｎｅ．　Ｅｖｅｎｉｎｇ．　Ｏｐｅｎ　ｔｏ　ｅｖｅｒｙｏｎｅ．

Greetings, Mayfield. You will call me Saber.

I'm not impressed.

...Saber? Have you lost your memories?

[lyres]

Unlikely, as I remember everything that is to be remembered, and it did not include this town or setting.

[answerer_sword]

[It seems more and more people have been droned and then returned with their memories wiped.]

Who do you remember as your Master? And what were your feelings toward your Master?

[1st_superhero]

...If I rode in on an impressive fiery dragon of death that set fire to thing with its eyes and had Emperor Nero playing fiddle as a background soundtrack, will you be impressed?

[Gilgamesh is bored and kidding around at this point.]

[lyres]

Only if I can ride the dragon.

[ You asked. ]

[1st_superhero]

...Too bad I don't have one here.

C.

[tigerstriped]

Funny. That's exactly what I thought.

[lyres]

This is nothing compared to what I have lived. The only unsettling thing is the lack of any sense of fashion and art around here.

[tigerstriped]

'Art'? [ He scoffs. ] They say this town is evil. I suppose one might call 'that' unsettling. I've never seen anything suspicious though, so I bet it's all a crock.

[She's not going to be happy when she finds out she's living near her now]

Oh, the idiot from the roof again? I wasn't impressed with you either.

[lyres]

You might want to pass the phone to an adult now.

[ Biting her cheek in secret, but playing it cool. ]

[badladyscramble]

I see your arrogance and disrespect haven't changed.

[Strange lady why are you staring at her is it her hair]

Um...hello?

[lyres]

[ Is totally the hair. She's like Rider's younger sister. ]

Hello. You have very nice hair. Beautiful even. It reminds me of someone I couldn't get to know as much as I would have wanted to.

[Chell's going to silently stare right back at Saber.]

[lyres]

Hmm.

Yours is quite an odd beauty.

[Honestly, Hakuno spent most of her time outside of the house these days. It hurt, truly hurt seeing her beloved Servant acting like just another one of the mindless drones, and so she tried to escape that. Came home late, left early... is this what being a delinquent was like?

Anyway. She came downstairs, by now used to the sounds of Saber's drone puttering around the kitchen. Everything sounded normal (abnormal, in her case, but it's how Saber's drone usually acted). Hakuno doesn't realize that something is off just yet, so she doesn't bother to check the kitchen.]

I'm heading out now. I'll grab something to eat on the way to school.

[The only acknowledgment she ever gives the drone...]

[lyres]

Won't you even adknowledge me, Praetor? Have I wronged you somehow?

[ Saber is staring from the kitchen, giving Hakuno some killer puppy eyes. ]

Or are you just a fake like the man in the room?

[arrow_to_the_butt]

[And there's a Momotaros, just hanging around the area and ducking people walking their dogs. He's just minding his own business really until he notices the woman walking along and he raises a hand in greeting.]

Yo.

[lyres]

Hello. How do you fare?

C

[normality]

Ah.. Saber-san? [ right, that girl who had helped out Azaka a few times before.. ]

You're back?

[lyres]

You confuse me with someone else, I'm afraid.

[Cade is quick to notice the beautiful young woman starting at him. He closes range and introduces himself very quickly.]

"Well hello there. I couldn't help but notice that you couldn't take your eyes off me. Not that I could blame you, of course."

[lyres]

[ That makes her laugh. ]

Ah, aren't you quite the bold one? But if you are trying to earn the favors of a King you might want to reconsider your approach.

I don't think they did it to impress you.
