☘ 026; [action]

[riastrad_ridire]

[A; morning; around Mayfield]

[With most of the danger averted, the Command Spell that Rin had used on Lancer wasn't driving him crazy anymore. It had been impossible to ensure Kariya's safety as she'd ordered him to, and the resulting contradiction between what he was compelled to do and what he was able to do had resulted in what one might have lightly phrased as a 'clusterfuck'.]

[But whatever, no point in looking back now. As it was? Lancer decided it was probably a good idea to just find Kariya and check in with him before Rin elected to flip out on him as usual.]

[B; afternoon; 1335 Benny Rd.]

[When he gets home, Lancer would find something waiting for him. In the driveway a short distance away from his two very confused horses would be this sweet ride.]

...the hell?

[Having never seen it before, he was understandably confused as to who designed a car after his Noble Phantasm.]

[...Which he promptly stopped caring about, because holy shit that was cool.]

[C; late afternoon; highway]

[What's the best way to test out such a fantastic piece of machinery, you ask?]

[Going top speed down yonder endless highway, of course. If you get his attention, he might just figure out how the brakes work.]

[But be careful.]

[Dragsters can't turn.]

Comments

B. If only we had an Illya...

[fishsingers]

[Luka, for her part, is simply wandering and getting the layout of the town.

It's only natural she'd stop; it does stand out]

BAHSAHCAAAAAAAR

[riastrad_ridire]

[He was almost torn between confusion and holy shit this is so cool what do I even do.]

[Lost in his own slightly conflicted thoughts as he is, Lancer didn't even seem to notice Luka yet.]

THE STRONGEST SERVANT

[fishsingers]

...Not quite the Fifties, is it?

ex-rank awesome

[riastrad_ridire]

Sure as hell isn't.

...I don't know what it is, but I like it.

c; sorry for this lame place holder

[gandere]

[ Just raising a hand to wave. ] Hi Lancer.

shhhhhh not lame

[riastrad_ridire]

[Brakes, brakes...Oh right, here we go.]

[Eventually he'd come to a stop and give Rin a bright smile.]

Yo.

it was a heat exhaustion reply, it was lame..

[gandere]

Since when can you drive?

[ Remember that time a year ago when she tried to make him take her somewhere? She remembers. She remembers all too well how much of a pain in the ass it was to teach him. ]

/dumps water on

[riastrad_ridire]

I figured it out eventually.

a

[answerer_sword]

Lancer!

[Since this is the first time she has seen Lancer in person since returning to Mayfield, Bazett is rather excited.]

[riastrad_ridire]

Yo, Bazett. You alright?

[answerer_sword]

Yes, I am.

[A pause.]

I...need to say something to you.

[riastrad_ridire]

Hm? What's up, kid?

[on_bailes_strand]

[Connla, having received his magic as a regain, is hiding out in the gas station. Ever since he got it back, he had been unable to control it. One second, it would make everything around him float, and the next second, it would turn his hair blue. He had been hiding in this remote place all day, just so his magic wouldn't affect the people around him.]

[As of now, his magic seems to have calmed down, so he decides that it is safe for him to return to Mayfield. He steps out from the Gas station and next to the highway...]

[Only to see some sort of thing zipping by. If it was a car, it didn't look like any of the other cars he had seen here.]

[He's so shocked that he remains rooted in place, and for the time being forgets about reigning in his magic. He doesn't even notice the magical energy gathering around him, ready to set off another accident.]

[riastrad_ridire]

[Oh, goddammit. Can't really escape from the kid you're trying to avoid when the road you're on goes literally nowhere.]

[Sooo....might as well come to a stop. Eventually.]

...Yo.

[on_bailes_strand]

H-hi.

[As soon as he raises his hand to give a greeting, the magical energy is released...turning a section of the highway into ice.]

...Oops.

[riastrad_ridire]

...


Well shit, that's new.

C

[logic_and_magic]

[Well this was probably attempted before, but Crown may as well just get rid of all the possibilities first right?

So he's trying to walk down this endless highway to find a way out. He's just walking in the middle of the road, yup. Cars are a foreign concept to him. But he hears a roaring of something. Maybe like an animal? But more metallic.

Looking behind him, he see's some sort of, THING, coming towards him. Welp that doesn't look good. What's worse is he only noticed it when it was getting close to him and potentially in range of running him over. So he just throws himself out of the way of the vehicle and off the road.]

[riastrad_ridire]

[One might have just heard a mostly-laughed apology as the murdermachine went flying past.]

[And eventually it would come to a stop. Because hey, looping street, whatever.]

You should really watch where you're goin', kid.

[LANCER YOU ARE NOT THE ONE THAT GETS TO SAY THAT HERE]

[logic_and_magic]

[Crown's dusting himself off, looking rather P'O'd. He hadn't heard the apology sadly because he as too busy throwing himself to the ground.

He narrows his eyes at the monstrosity that nearly killed him as it comes back. Was it trying to get him now? But this time it stops. He see's a person inside of it and then telling him to watch where he's going?!]

Last I checked, you were speeding down this road with this...metal monster you were riding.

[He does approach it and looks the machine over.]

What is this strange contraption, anyways? I have never seen something like it before...

A

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[Lancer will run into Kariya somewhere downtown as he's out running errands or something. Geez Kariya, get a boring Mayfield job already.]

[riastrad_ridire]

Yo.

[Boom, surprise Lancer. And he'll get right to the point for a change.]

You alright?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Yeah... I'm fine. I managed to survive over there somehow. Rin came and pulled me out at the end of the fifth day.

B

[rankaloid]

[HI LANCER here's your not!daughter coming over with.... a... this thing waddling after her....... also she's wearing a pair of hideous red goggles.]

Uwaaah! That's so cool!!

[riastrad_ridire]

I gotta give Mayfield credit, I think it's trying to impress me.

[rankaloid]

Are you a professional racer?
