80 Swords in the Stone

[excalibured]

[Arthur hates this place. It's not particularly unusual, because there's been lots [read: every] place in Paradisa that he's been sent to that he's found something to dislike about it. Paris is a modern city, which is the biggest strike. It's also loud and busy, with flashing lights and more of those infernal cars, though he's learned enough not to

[Allen meanwhile is, as usual, the more cheerful of the two. He's enjoying Paris, seeing a familiar place again even if it's been over a century since he last saw it. He was looking at some street maps, trying to figure out what to do next. When he moves to return to Arthur, he spots the other looking so confused and the source, which is ridiculous in of itself. Which...he can't help but cover his mouth as he laughs softly at the scene]

[excalibured]

I do not find this amusing. This man is clearly an idiot.

[He's judging you Allen, as always] Did you find something you wished to do?

[save_the_souls]

It's not just him, he's simply very strange. The crowd's reaction helps the humour though...

[What else is new]

Well...there's the Luxembourg Gardens and Palace. Or there is Les Invalides, which is a museum of French military history. [The rest sounds like shopping or art museums which he cares not, and he can visit churches on his own time.]

What would you prefer?

[excalibured]

You mean the crowd is full of idiots as well? Yes, I had figured that out quite quickly.

The latter. I would be interested to see how a place such as this values their security, and the measures they have taken.

[All castles are uglier than Camelot, duh]

omg I had to

[ectobabble]

[Ray wanders up and tilts his head, hands jammed into the pockets of his leather jacket. he's got a thick red scarf wound around his neck, too, but mostly -- he's looking just as puzzled as Arthur]

What the hell is that?

....marry me?

[excalibured]

[He's sipping his coffee with a light shrug. It's kind of like watching a train wreck, or a bunch of murderous bandits spontaneously burst into song. It just...Makes so very little sense. he's also the worst robot on earth]

I haven't any idea. Though this certainly isn't a time period that is close to my own.

won't Allen object? ;)

[ectobabble]

[the real thing that's puzzling Ray is why people are PAYING THIS DUDE to act like that. he digs in his pockets and comes up with a beat-up pack of cigarettes]

Oh yeah? When're you from? ... Ray Stantz, by the way. Nice t' meetcha.

what he doesn't know won't hurt him

[excalibured]

[Well, Arthur would if he found this at all amusing, but this man is just an idiot and how badly do you have to hate yourself to do this?]

The year is 486. I am the furthest back, along with those from my world, as far as I am aware. A pleasure, I am Arthur Pendragon.

[apologeticangel]

Oh, Arthur! [dude, you've been spotted! Colette was on her way to... idk, we'll say a shop of some kind, but she'll happily stop to talk to a friend. She stumbles a bit approaching him (she seems to be wearing quite fashionable heeled boots... actually her whole outfit is weirdly fashionable) but she doesn't actually trip! Yay!]

Hello.

[excalibured]

Colette.

[He's a little surprised, and honestly he's so used to the clumsy girl express now, thanks to Elena that his only reaction is to hold out his arm, in case she needs it for balance. And honestly he wouldn't understand modern fashion if it bit him in the ass]

Hello. It has been quite awhile.

[apologeticangel]

[she nods, and her smile looks a bit sheepish]

I-It has... I'm sorry. I've been really busy, and I'm sure you've been busy too!

[excalibured]

What are you sorry for?

Ah, no. Not quite, not lately at least. Did you go on the expedition?

[maldestre]

[ A wild Princess appears! She's been enjoying her time in this modern city, especially since she has found herself quite fluent when it comes to French. Now, if only she could manage to not trip on her own two feet or worse, trip into some unsuspecting passerby.

The small gathering catches her attention before the silver man does but, when she finally spots him, she raises an eyebrow and dares to creep closer. ]

How odd..

[excalibured]

[He knew she'd find him sooner or later. That however, was surprisingly quick. Don't worry bb, he's so used to you that he's not at all going to have a hard time catching her and saving her from her inevitable face plant.

He'll still just be lightly sipping at his coffee and staring with a growing sense of what the ever loving hell]

That is an understatement.

[maldestre]

[ My hero! She doesn't want to spend half of the day scrubbing silver paint off of herself. Upon catching sight of Arthur, she weaves through the crowd to stand beside him and resume her staring.

After adjusting her scarf some, she glances up and over at him. Sorry bizarre silver man, her attention is elsewhere for the moment. ]

I hope you haven't found it difficult to settle in here.

[excalibured]

The castle has done this once before. [So he's a little more worried about you, though he can't exactly be sure how much she's been settling into Paradisa.

He's offering her a sip of his drink though, offhandedly] And yourself?

[amiables]

[ and uru is... lost. even when asking others for directions, she could only follow them about halfway before getting confused. she's not even sure where she's supposed to be going.

which means she's barely paying attention to the person ahead of her and bumps straight against his back. ]

Oof! So--

[amiables]

[ wait a second. ]

Arthur-kun!

[excalibured]

[He stumbles forward, thankfully only further forward onto the sidewalk and not entirely off the curb] Are you completely-

[And in the middle of his sharp tirade, he'd started to turn and heard mention of his own name, and it dies immediately. He looks surprised, but not actually unpleased. He has totally missed your adorable little self around the castle]

Uru. Hello.

[amiables]

Hi! [ she's extremely happy to see him after so long. ] It's been such a long time!
