--again, Praetor! That is not enough ice.

[ The feed snaps on and swivels just a bit awkwardly, as though the recorder is trying to fit the Gear in its claws before it rights itself. Then the Gear turns and shows one scantily clad Empeor with her back turned, unaware of her Pokemon's scheme for video shenanigans. Standing large, proud, but head bending low to the ground, is Saber's Gyarados Praetor and there appears to be... large chunks of ice collecting before the short blonde.

To those wondering, the answer is quickly shown as Praetor's fangs freeze over with ice before she snaps her jaws several times to have the ice fall to the collection. It seems Saber has been at this for some time as there's quite a collection and a bag in her hand before she nods in approval and begins scooping up the ice in her bag. Remember, folks! She has to bend a bit to do this. ]

Very good, Praetor. This will last me for... hmm, a few minutes. Do not worry, I will treat you for this kindness later on-- [ As she talks, it sounds as though her throat caught up on something, sounding hoarse before she has a brief coughing fit, bursts of flame accompanying the sounds. She makes a frustrated noise, and the Pokemon holding the Gear briefly shakes with an amused chuckle before a delivery bird cries and flies its appearance into the scene.

Once she's recovered, Saber arches a brow while straightening herself and turns to face the Pidgeot. In the bird's talons is a rather... large bouquet of roses. As she takes the bouquet, Saber giggles. ]

Honestly, I must commend this secret admirer of mine: even through these diseases, they find time to send such love my way! Still... [ She takes a moment to give those roses a good whiff, then shake her head. ] Woe is my power, for I cannot hold these for long lest they turn into ash within my hands! Machina!

[ A Metagross lumbers onto the scene and Saber turns to place the bouquet right on top of his metal head with an amused laugh. To its credit, the Metagross doesn't look the slightest perturbed and awaits further orders. ] Place this with the others. I have a matter in which I must address to my audience.

[ The Pokemon holding the Gear jerks in surprise to that revelation. How did she know?! The Metagross goes to do as it's asked as Saber gives a stern look to the camera (and her mischievous Pokemon). ]

Truly, Aestus, if you wished to play around with the Gear, you should have told me! No matter, this will be brief, and I shall place a proper punishment on you later. [ She clears her throat, and small pillars of steam leave the corner of her lips as she does so. ]

Lately, it has come to my attention that there are those of us who are warriors, artisans of the battlefield back in our worlds. Though this realm places an odd restriction on carrying such, the authorities do not mind the crafting of wooden, practice ones. And I do believe with current events, having these extensions of our arms would be quite useful to have. That said, I, Saber, will be starting up a business of crafting these tools for others.

Do look forward for future updates on my progress.

[ Then she gives a very imperial wave and the feed quickly shuts. ]

Perhaps it is more that many know of his legend, as opposed to many knowing him personally. You and he are long before any of our times, I believe.

I refuse. Water is not what I need right now.

It seems to be just those four types, unless there's others I haven't heard or seen yet.

[He wonders what it's like to use, say, ghost moves.]

When I try to use Thundershock, it took a lot out of me! And kinda leave my body static-y for a while.

That would be the simplest way to put it. Taking an action without thinking it through properly may be the last thing you do there.

[Because despite what his detractors may have you think, Illidan always thinks things through. He just tends to do crazy crap anyway.]

Have you even tried?

[There is no understanding the modern world without knowing at least a little bit about Rome, and Gilgamesh gives a hum of consideration to hear it was Nero's own domain. An sizable boast, to claim having ruled so much land, even if the rest of her claims seem to have little to do with that kingship.]

It must be your calling as an artist that draws you to woodworking. However, I hope what you're offering isn't meant to simply decorate a wall.

[Gods above and below, that's a relief.] I should like to think that, but I have encountered two people who appear to have a quarrel with him - including one who shares your face.

I'll make a note of that. By the way... Why are you walking around in a bikini, anyway?

[That look's one he's starting to get familiar with. When Riku caught him buying flowers, he had a look like that...

But does Nero really have the same thought Riku did about it?]

S-such a way?

[Ven mentally winces at the stumble, supposing he's fortunate that his face is eternally red]

Hmm? Well, due to this mysterious plague running amok, though I have been given a powerful use over the element of fire, I have, in turn, been inflicted with a high body temperature! And taking a bath is out of the question!

[ She is certainly having her suspicions! And his reaction does not help his case. She saunters up closer to him, staring straight at his eyes. ]

Is it admiration? Affection? [ She giggles, thinking up this brief, absurd thought, but she'll throw it out there anyway. ] Lust? No, you do not seem the type, but it is an amusing thought, you know? You are a kind soul, and one of the most generous since I have stepped foot on this land, but I do wonder if you are this way with anyone else.

So harsh, yet it is a truth many worlds seem to keep a constant. Perhaps it is the universes' way of culling the unneeded? Or those who do not produce anything of worth.

One of the law of my land was that anyone who called themselves a citizen under her name was to uphold a sense of "civic duty." Whatever you do, you do for the cause of another, or to better your nation or be scorned for giving her shame.

I would not refuse one of life's greatest sustenance if I hadn't, would I?

[ She chuckles once more at that before shaking her head. ]

Do not worry, although that could be one of their many functions. [ A confident smirk reaches her lips. ] I have already produced a few pieces, and they have been proven very sturdy and powerful, despite them being made of wood. Why, the King of Conquerors himself has an instrument made by my hands and has approved the worth of his blade.

Ah, the King of Knights? A product of them meeting within the same Holy Grail War, I believe. Have you heard of that before?

[ She laughs heartily at the image her mind brings at that last statement. ]

Then use it in moderation? Or learn to control these powers better. Our Pokemon certainly have more finesse with their abilities than we do.

I'd prefer a real sword, but under the circumstances...

There's always taking a bath in a hot spring. Those are always very relaxing! I always do it whenever I'm traveling around.

Oh, okay...

...Wait, you like bathing?

[he nods] I was given the brief overview by my friend and Alexander, yes.

[Must make eye contact, even if it is awkward.

Even if his vantage point doesn't help him at all]

Well, I...I like making my friends happy.

[So in general, yes, he's that kind of boy. Him and the rest of Papaqus' little brood. For a few moments he's silent, as though that's all he's going to say, but he does add]

But I really like it if I can give you reason to smile.

If that's what it's coming down to, I feel like I should let you know I'm not an easy target in any regard!

*Not even sounding like he's bragging, just like he's stating a fact.*

Perhaps the ones with more perverted intentions would.

[Beat.]

I mean no offence to you, your grace.

Then that makes things exciting. A game would not be fun without a little challenge now and then.

[ Said just as casually back. She's even smiling pleasantly. ]

That would help if water in any form did not set me on edge! Even taking drinks to cure my parched throat is troublesome!
