[Game 18] Endgame

It's early morning by the time they tidy up the house and fix the windows—leaving it as neat as they'd entered it, Tristan promises—and head out. Tristan seems to be itching to just get away from the place, though they can't return to the church, and it's now New Year's Day—so they head back across the border to the house in New York. Even Sariel comes along—albeit reluctantly—at Tristan's suggestion.

"To my understanding," Tristan says, "the kid's with Sera right now, which I'm cool with. I was a bit rough on him, so he might be sleeping it off for another little while—and like you all said, he might be a bit freaked out to see a dozen people staring at him. So let's leave him there for now. I can send you all home." He pauses.

"But if you want to come back soon . . . I can bring you back. No agenda necessary. If you don't want to come—well, let me know, and I'll try not to bring you."

Come with, then.

I will, if Sariel will come.

If he won't do you want me to bring you back take-out?

Get me a pile of bacon.

Okay. Drink?

Ah, don't bother. I'll keep hydrated on Tristan's dollar here.

Please spend as many dollars as possible, he annoys me considerably.

That's.

He's like that. It's really unfortunate.

I--gathered.

But it can't be helped with his lousy boss.

The person on the phone.

Yeah that.

[just shakes head no several time]

. . . on the whole, I think I prefer the Throne of Heroes.

I don't know what that is but okay.

It's not Heaven and it's not Hell. It's...something else. The spirits you summon from it -- they're spirits, but they're -- very human, too. The one I know definitely is.

I think you'd like him.

Really?

. . . I have a memory of him on me, if you want. Though he's being an idiot in it.

............................pardon me what?

We lose our memories in Aather and get them back and we can share them with people if we want.

That's.

Oh I don't like that at all.

I did say 'if you want' . . . okay.

If you wanna show me I'll look just.

Wow you're so. Okay with it.

[dryly, flipping an odd object over to him; it's a glass or crystal compact that seems to be filled with water . . .?]

I kind of had to train myself to it, and there are some I don't show people. But this one's okay. Open it if you want to look.

[catches it]

Ah....

[opens it up. this seems weird.]

[Waver comes crashing downstairs to find Rider/Alexander the Great (both identities are in Waver's thoughts, in the memory; Kano can pick them up) wearing a dumb T-shirt and flexing his muscles in the middle of the living room.

Waver: Wait, why are you dressed like that?!
Rider: The package I was awaiting arrived.
Waver: You went outside the house!?
Rider: [brandishes the box] I merely tries out that mail-order thing I heard about!
Waver: But I told you you were never to leave the second floor!
Rider: If the residents are not at home, and you are off somewhere all day occupied with your familiar, who else is there to answer the door?
Waver: I had no choice. A summons from the Church is a big deal; I had to go.
Rider: Don't be so grouchy. After seeing Saber last night I came to a realization. If one wears modern attire there should be no issue whatsoever with leaving the domicile.
Waver: Hey -- wait -- stop! At least put on some pants before you go out!
Rider: Oh -- yes, leggings. [smacks his forehead] That's true, I forgot, everyone in this land wears them. ... do I have to wear them?
Waver: YES! Of course you have to! And just to make it perfectly clear, I'm not making a trip into town just to buy you XXXL pants, understand?!
Rider: You won't?! Why, boy? Would you actually stand in the way of my triumphant conquest of the world?
Waver: You conquering the world and whether or not you have pants have nothing -- not even the slightest thing -- to do with each other!! Before you start planning to go screwing around outside, go out and do your job and beat one of the other Servants! Then I'll buy you pants or anything else you want!
Rider: Hmm, very well. I understand. Do you swear that once I defeat one of the other Servants, you will go and buy me a modern pair of pants so that I can go outside!
Waver: Unbelievable. You really want to wear modern clothes and walk outside that much?
Rider: The King of Knights was walking around outside. I simply cannot allow myself to be outdone. I like the design on this shirt. It is fitting attire for a strong ruler.
Waver: Look, we have to go find and defeat Caster too. What the hell are we doing...

there's some serious business fretful feelings in there but mostly it's legit just . . . stupid bickering . . .]
