Action
Around Genessia
[All things considered, Vlad's feeling incredibly calm for someone snatched away in the midst of battle, with no indication that his Master has been granted the same fate. Not to say that he isn't irritated at the thought of losing his wish but on the other hand, perhaps this way he will live long enough to set things right for himself.
The fact that being able to act of his own volition is even an option might have something to do with his better-than-anticipated mood. Or perhaps it has more to do with the wealth of progress and development that's demonstrated even by that projection of the woman in white and the strange device he now has in his possession that is supposedly some form of communicator. And as he begins his exploration of Genessia, with it in mind to find the archways leading to the areas represented by the blue and green jewels prominent in the pendant he has also been gifted, that fascination with what he finds continues.
He doesn't venture into any particular place, happy to remain detached for the time being. But he can be found pausing to examine window displays that catch his attention, only the faintest trace of curiosity in his expression to betray his thoughts.]
Around Everglade
[Once he's determined there are means of travelling between cities that are near-instantaneous - less impressive for one who keeps the company of mages but still something to be applauded - Vlad's first order of business is to find out why the powers that be have determined that he is suitable for the particular areas his pendant suggests. And while the blue isn't quite so prominent as the green, it's significant enough still that he makes Everglade his first stop.
It doesn't take him long to figure out the connection. And he is not happy about it in the slightest.
That's not to say he doesn't explore, and he even finds some establishments that are suited to his aesthetic tastes - but it's all underwritten by a subtle but apparent irritation that this is somewhere the powers that be have determined he belongs.]
Around Fayren
[Of anywhere he's been of yet, it's Fayren that feels most like an approximation of home. Between the clear presence of magic that bolsters the existence he has now and the general feeling of an era closer to the one he knew in life, it doesn't take him long to decide that this, of all the places he's seen so far, is the most suitable base of operations for him. It'll take time for him to get to where he really wants to be, but at least he has a goal in mind now.
And for that, he's a little more relaxed as he explores, with particular pause outside of the Cloister of Trials - he's not in any position to venture in just yet but the idea of the place intrigues him all the same in spite of his growing awareness that there may indeed be other ways to rid himself of the cursed power that haunts his existence as a Heroic Spirit.]

[The name associated with this message reads Lancer of Black. It takes a moment for the feed to settle - even as he has taken some time to try to understand the workings of the smartphone, he's still an embodiment of someone from ages past whose understanding of the modern world has been filtered through mages who tend to shy away from an abundance of technology. Eventually, however, there's a clear shot of him in what appears to be one of the rooms of the Amagi Inn in Fayren - he's travelled enough for today, after all.]
An intriguing place I have been brought to, I must say. I won't deny that I would prefer to see to it that the task ahead of me back home were seen through but I am here and I persist in spite of my concerns that my presence may not be sustainable without a particular connection. For now, that will have to suffice.
Though I do have to ask as to the best means of securing a supply of magical energy, now I am without my own. My explorations thus far have led me to determine that Fayren is the best place to start but I am open to the input of others. Particularly as I suspect familiarity is affording bias to my judgement - even the technology in Genessia itself is far beyond anything I have seen so far. Is this the luxury of a country not required to be at constant war, I wonder?
Oh and one other question. These gems upon the pendants - is there any way to erase their prominence? I can't help but take exception to one of them and if possible, I would prefer to sever any perceived association with the city one of them represents.
[He's not naming names, but his prominent gems are blue and green and he's mentioned satisfaction with Fayren so it's probably not hard to guess.]
