Dream [王] 001 [and people were sinful and the world burned]

[rupturedbabylon]

Know the penalty to reform crimes. People's kindness is here. There is so much it cannot be noticed. Know the VIOLENCE to hide crimes. Know the power to hide crimes. People's malignance is here. It is so rare that it is noticed. A hundred kindnesses and one malignancy. Malignance shines bright to keep the balance and exists as a great "evil" to

So that is what you are capable of, huh?

[She's crazy enough to see it ALL, btw.]

[rupturedbabylon]

[Oh, bugger. :x]

Me? What are you talking about? I hardly did anything. [/grumpy]

[knightmare_hime]

I assume that you and Saber are evenly matched in your abilities. If you can survive something like that then you must be damn near invincible. As for that thing... can you both use it?

[rupturedbabylon]

[fff. Ah well. At least now he knows just how sharp this woman is.]

The King of Knights, despite her ...flawed priorities, is still a force to be reckoned with. It's a terrible shame that she were to be stuck with such a pathetic lowlife during the fifth War. I'm certain that she would have provided a splendid fight, if the pitiful mongrel that she then had the misfortune to call 'Master' was more competent than a worm. [Let's not mention our possessive streak just yet.]

...Of course, these are only applicable back in Fuyuki. I'm very conscious of the fact that in Somarium, the rules have changed.

What is it that you are referring to, Miss Britannia? [The tone held a tiny edge of contempt - there was little point in hiding now that she knows. He knew that the dreams could potentially screw him eventually sooner or later, but... eh, whatever.]

[knightmare_hime]

The item that was the cause of the destruction.

I had no idea she was so powerful. I've only spoken about her life outside of Somarium with her briefly.

[rupturedbabylon]

Servants are the ones capable of obtaining it, but the Wish belongs to the Master. While it is optional and not always the case, I suppose that a will to cooperate and similar mentalities will be helpful if a pair wishes to win. Any Master can use the Grail - as long as they manage to eliminate the others.

...Heh. Heroic Spirits cannot be compared to ordinary mongrels. Our destructive powers are limitless, should we desire to exert them. ...We usually remain unanimous to the desire to not involve too many bystanders. When possible, of course - it also depends on the Spirit's alignment.

[knightmare_hime]

[Not really the type of person she expected when she met him initially.

Her brow lifts.]

And I suppose that your limitless power is the reason for your arrogance?

[rupturedbabylon]

[You know Saber. That blows his whole cover. 8|]

Hmph. Partially, perhaps. That world is my garden - I possess every right.

[knightmare_hime]

I see.

Well, regardless of how powerful one might be, it can all be limited here. The overlords will do as they please if they see someone abusing his or her abilities.

[rupturedbabylon]

[And now the arrogance and all-ruling aura is completely gone - he's back to the way like he was when you first met him in Somni, weeks back.] I am well aware, Miss Britannia. Like I have already stated, I fully realize that the circumstances have changed.

...Are you concerned, perhaps?

[knightmare_hime]

I don't fear anything.

[rupturedbabylon]

[He chuckles cheerfully.]

A bold claim. A woman with strong will is always admirable... or she can be plain foolish. I would like to know your story better, though I expect that if there were any odds, this would require more work and time.

[knightmare_hime]

I am both admirable and foolish. More importantly, I am only a human. I possess nothing more than my physical strength. In a place like this, it certainly does seem unwise to be fearless.

What is it that you want to know?

[rupturedbabylon]

[Stupid, but you got a spine. A real one, too. Nice. That definitely nets you some points. o/] Wisely said, even if you ironically confess to be unwise. Under such circumstances, however, are you certain that you still wish to arrogantly proceed this way? [/so not the one to talk, here. 8|a]

It would be appropriate to begin with the basics. For starters, I am intrigued about your world in general, your social status, and the role you hold in your country. I suspect that you are a rather highly-ranked noblewoman. Would I be mistaken in that regard?

[knightmare_hime]

Hiding my strengths and weaknesses would be inconsequential in regards to someone as powerful as you. Even so, I've only told you what was necessary. You needn't worry about the information I choose to disclose.

[She carries on in a very matter-of-fact manner.]

I was the second princess of the Brittanian Imperial family. Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial army, and Viceroy to Area... [She clears her throat.] ... of a place known as Japan.

[rupturedbabylon]

I am not particularly concerned about that. You know Saber. That gives you at least a feasible approximation of what I am capable of. What of others who cross you and are capable of hiding their potential better?

[He listens intently, and lets out a semi-amused scoff.]

I was correct, then. ...Heh, Japan. Also known as Nippon - it would seem that our worlds bear geographical similarities. How quaint.

[His red eyes then narrow slightly, skepticism evident.]

Explain 'was'.
