Action - Genessia (streets, Welcoming Center, Commonspace)

[So. This wasn't a Rayshift. At least, not a normal one. Bedivere had been completely unable to get in contact with anyone from Chaldea, be it Dr. Roman, da Vinci, or his Master. This left him with a knot in his stomach. Sure, this place seemed nice enough, but he was needed somewhere else. At least no one on the streets was bothering him.

But, for the time being, Bedivere finds himself shoving his concerns to the back of his mind. Right now, he needs to gather information and find out where he'll be staying for the next month. As a result, a handsome though slightly androgynous-looking knight clad in his full armor and with a silver artificial arm can be seen walking along the sidewalks in Genessia, first from the Bay to the Schnee Company Welcoming Center, then from there to the Genessia Commonspace, where he'll check into his apartment.

You are free to catch him at any point during this.]

[Video]

[The feed shows a new face, one who appears to be wearing armor and whose right shoulder appears to be artificial. Behind him is one of the plain walls of a studio apartment in the Genessia Commonspace.]

Please pardon me; I am a new arrival here. As in, I've been here a mere two hours. I ask, are there any current events I should be aware of? I have yet to catch wind of any news, and I would like to know if there is anything I should seek out -- or conversely, avoid.

Also...recommendations of places to eat would be greatly appreciated.

[As a Servant, he may not need food to survive, but the psychological effects of it still work just fine. And he might feel less uneasy after having something good to eat. He'll probably take it easy for the rest of the evening, then start looking for a job in the morning.]

I thank you for your time.

[The feed closes.]

[holyswordarm]

Not bad, I suppose. Perhaps about as well as one can hope given such a disorienting experience. How about you?

[There is a masked youth that holds up a newspaper, clumsily balancing the device at the same time.]

There are papers that have current events. Do be wary though, I had mine thrown at me by the paperboy.

[...Kid has a mean arm...]

As for places to eat, I have yet to experience much.

Re: [Video]

[holyswordarm]

I see. Please, don't worry. I'm sure I'll find something.

Are there places to buy the newspaper after the delivery run has finished?

[He's seen newspaper stands in London, so he knows they're a thing.]

[sanguine_kismet]

[The youth hesitated, pursing their lips into a fine line in thought before finally speaking.]

I am honestly unsure. If you like, I can give you mine.

action, i'm so sorry....

( Kiritsugu had it in mind to scope out his new apartment, to get a feel of the layout and check whatever amenities he would need to procure. But before he's even unable to unlock the door, he not only spots Bedivere, but is able to sense a powerful magical aura from him-- not unlike that of a servant's.

He also looks an awful lot like Arturia, if matters weren't complicated enough.

He's not one to speak in this moment, but his guard is definitely heightened now, his gaze unfaltering. Bedivere, he's watching you. )

[holyswordarm]

[Bedivere had been going about his business by himself, only speaking to those he needed to speak to, up to this point.

And, at this point, he can feel himself being watched. He can even sense an aura of paranoia. Looking around, Bedivere spots the only person it could be -- the only other person in the hallway, a man with black hair and similarly dark clothing. Not only that, but something about this man and his posture reminds him of someone...but he isn't sure who.]

Pardon me. Is there something I can do for you?

[originbullets]

( Well, he can't exactly tell him why he lingers, or that Bedivere's very presence sets him on edge. So, instead, he acts as if he were going about his business, sliding his key into the keyhole. His command seals might show as he touches the knob, however. )

You remind me of someone. That's all.

( Nevermind the fact that someone isn't a person he would ever care to see again, nor that his aura was not dissimilar to hers. )

[Despite the bulk of his time being spent in other cities, Lancer still likes to spend time in Genessia itself. More advanced than he's used to but not quite to the scale of Nova City, it allows him a chance to learn without being overwhelmed.

Though today there's something else that catches his attention. For a peaceful world such as this, seeing anyone roaming in armour would be unusual anyway but there's something more, as he catches a glimpse of the unfamiliar man, something that catches the back of his mind and won't quite leave.

If the situation is as he suspects, it probably isn't a bad idea for him to investigate.

And so he makes his approach, as anachronistic in his own way being as he still dresses as he did in life rather than make any concession to where he is now.]

Forgive my presumption but you appear lost. Might I assist at all?

Re: action

[holyswordarm]

[As Lancer approaches, Bedivere also notices something off. He can tell right away what it is -- there's another Servant here. After spending time in Chaldea, that feeling is unmistakable to him.

However, Bedivere manages to keep an excellent poker face, and his body language doesn't seem to indicate that anything is off. Until he can discern whether this Servant is friend or foe, he has to do his best to appear unassuming.]

Ah, I wouldn't say I'm lost; merely in unfamiliar territory. I have an address of where I need to go, but if you're willing to confirm my directions, I would appreciate it. I'm on my way to Genessia Commonspace right now.

[greedyvixen]

[ Rin has her habits here and one of them is checking the new arrival areas way too often in case Shirou someone nice from home happens to show up. Not like most or all of them wouldn't make a network post too, who even knows about this mage, maybe she's up to something like trying to summon him here or trying to make a way home or to another timeline back home or... Whatever.

Anyway, Genessia also reminds her of her home city a lot when that's the place where everything kind of clashes together from magic to technology and everything else even when it's not as visible as it'd be in Fayren.

Sidewalks especially when they're less crowded are nice. Today there also happens to be something...... different or extremely familiar in a way in sight when she sees that person there. Her first thought is Saber but no, that's not her, she'd know her anywhere. Who's that then? She could just pass by, ignore and have too many questions in her head or she could -- stop, give him a look from head to toes and back to his head again like she's trying to decide what to think of this.]

What, did they start a cosplay cafe or something?

[Nailed it.]

Re: action

[holyswordarm]

Huh?

[The question gets Bedivere to stop and then turn toward the speaker. He's got no idea what a "cosplay cafe" is, but he thinks he once heard Blackbeard raving about something like it...so that could get awkward.]

Are you talking to me, miss?

[There's no anger or irritation in his voice; simply confusion.]

[video]

[lovesopendoors]

[Hi. Here's a friendly looking happy face on a screen, not that she's sure how much she can help but apparently she'll try... somehow.]

What kind of food do you like?

Re: [video]

[holyswordarm]

Umm...

[Bedivere hadn't thought of that. He wasn't picky; as long as it didn't resemble Gawain's cooking, that was all that mattered to him.]

Well, my favorite food is steamed vegetables. Perhaps some kind of place that cooks the kind of meals one expects at home?

[grossartig_mond]

The Cat's Eye Cafe has sweets to die for.

[The armor didn't seem to even phase her, then again the ebony tiara she wore seemed to give her sense of fashion away.]

[holyswordarm]

Sweets, eh? I'll keep that in mind when I have a craving for them.

[Bedivere smiles. He's glad to get a suggestion...especially since it appears to come from a noblewoman.]

Thank you, milady. Is it in Genessia, or one of the other four cities?

[angriff]

Try the Dog's Paw Cafe in Attleton. They have a good food,.

[holyswordarm]

I'll keep that in mind when I go to explore Attleton. Thank you.

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that I'm in Genessia for the time being. Do you know of anything here?

[unknowntodeath]

[It's hard to shake the feeling of another Servant nearby when it hits you. Even if he could, Archer would still likely check it out. There's no war here, but there are some Servants he and Rin should be very aware of.

This person, however, isn't anyone he's familiar with but as he's pretty sure he's been noticed already, so he might as well make an appearance instead of just leaving.]

With the way you look, you're Saber class, aren't you?

[holyswordarm]

[Bedivere could also sense a Servant when one is nearby. Were they someone from Chaldea? He has no recollection of ever interacting with him, so it's hard to say.]

I am. I can't say I'm surprised you figured it at a glance, either, given how I'm wearing the clothes of a knight.

[However, this man's class was far more difficult to discern. He can rule out Assassin and Berserker, at least -- but that still leaves five classes. And that's assuming he doesn't belong to a special class.]

Rest assured, I mean no ill intent. I simply wish to get a better grasp on my situation.

[draconixaviarix]

Oooh..hello~ Welcome to Genessia~

And..not that I know of, but I think you are most fine here, and you look very powerful, too. So no one will mess with you.

[Hana nodded, wiggling] Any place is a great place. What kind of food do you like? Ah, and I'm Hana, nice to meet you~

Re: [Video]

[holyswordarm]

Ah, thank you.

[It's nice to hear that things are quiet here, at least. Maybe this will give him a much-needed reprieve. He would rather be serving his Master, but he has to work with what he has, and right now he can't get back to Chaldea.]

Nice to meet you, Hana. My name is Bedivere.

[He accompanies his introduction with a bow of his head toward the camera.]

Action

[zenoh]

[ Once he decided on a place to eat, Ayame just finally got out of her Deputy duties to have some lunch and get to walk her dog Himiko in Genessia. Walking some familiar streets where she used to own a shop in, Ayame greets and say hello to faces she once knew and being generally friendly towards the civilians of the city, perhaps contrasted by her attire and how she wields a sword on her side. It's an exhausting thing to do, but as Deputy Guardian it's good to build rapport with the citizens, even outside of her jurisdiction. Himiko notices Bedivere first while he's out on a walk. The dog sees the shiny armor and prosthetic arm and thought to approach it while Ayame was busy saying hello to people.

Ayame is used to Himiko running off at this point, which is why she wasn't far behind when the dog stops and barks at Bedivere. Kindly warning Himiko to not do anything to the man, Ayame's attention then turns to Bedivere ]

Ah, the newcomer. I didn't think we'd meet in person so soon.

[ Ayame nods in greeting with a subtle smile on her features ]

You seem to be holding up fine.

Re: Action

[holyswordarm]

[Bedivere sees the incoming dog and crouches to meet it halfway, smiling. Because why wouldn't he? It's a dog.]

Well hi there!

[He rises back to his full height when the dog's owner follows behind it. When Ayame nods, he nods back.]

Ah, so you saw my message? Yes, I've settled in well so far, more or less. I still have plenty to do, but I at least know where I'm staying for the next month.
