text; anon; BACKDATED to the 10th

This is a bit embarrassing, but does anyone know where to find a prosthetic leg or cane? I got into a tangle with one of those new monsters recently and, well, that about explains it, don't you think? Of course I plan to put in a request, but I don't feel much like hopping everywhere in the meantime. Hopping is fun, but it's a lousy way to get around. Thanks for hearing me out.

PS: to the person who rescued me - thank you, and thanks to your friend. Sorry for the trouble. [Yes, she's calling Minato's persona a friend, because what is a persona anyway?]

Note to self: Keep an eye out for someone missing a leg.

If this is who I think it is: I have gotten better at playing hide-and-go-seek.

If it isn't: Why would you do that? I'm curious.

[Oh ho. Mistaking him for someone else? Interesting.]

Perhaps I will wait by the elevator. Hopping can become tiring.

[Naoya does whatever the fuck he wants, okay.]

This isn't who I thought it was - sorry.

[That said: Naoya would probably also have run the fuck over and raged at her, as is currently happening in the barricade thread. OOPS...]

Still doesn't answer the question of "why", though. Why are you doing such a thing?

[His interest is a little more piqued now. If only he had the patience to pick through these network posts.]

The better question would be "why not?" There are no drawbacks, and there is the benefit of learning about someone who hides their face.

[Thank god he doesn't!]

I'm doing this to keep someone I know from reacting explosively to the news. Things are stressful enough as it is.

Ah yes, but you forget one detail: You don't know which terminal-containing floor I'm on, and I can probably avoid being noticed.

[BECAUSE SHE'S S H O R T...]

What a shame. Hiding something so important from a person who cares. That will not end well for you.

You have no idea what I may be capable of. I could be capable of checking each terminal in a few minutes.

[Or, you know, disappearing and stalking around and replying from a different terminal each time.]

It's called waiting for the opportune moment. Appearing bloody and battered and unable to stand on my own, surely that would end badly? He's got enough concerns as it is. If I can take care of a matter on my own, then it'd be best if I did.

[She pauses while considering this. Checking each terminal in a few minutes....

...

This is going to be tricky. Best to try and find her opponent first, get him to go to one of the other floors, and then...

Heheheheheh. She's gotta admit, it's been a while since she's instigated a game like this.

So now she's acting like nothing's happened, while looking out the corners of her eyes every now and then to see if there are any suspicious appearances or disappearances. Casually, of course. As much to see what that noise was as anything. Good thing she's able to obscure her injury with that cape, at least.

Where's Gil? :3]

It is called broadcasting your problem without telling that person first. I still say it will not end well for you.

[The advantage of being a Servant, more so than already being a god-king before any of that, is the ability to disappear and move at speeds far beyond those of normal humans. He dissolves into his spirit form and moves through the halls, once in awhile stopping and reappearing to check if the anonymous poster had replied.]

Perhaps, perhaps not. Even I can't see the outcome of it...I guess the Tower's unscrewed a few screws upstairs.

[At least she admits it tho. A quick flick of some keys and oh, hey, she's just another person typing again. Dum de dum. Now to wait while pretending she isn't waiting.]

[What an odd way to phrase that. Unscrewed a few screws? Implying that the person knew what they were doing was crazy? He smiles as he pauses at another terminal and replies.]

Brave or foolish. Maybe both.

[That's all he types before continuing his search, disappearing in a cloud of gold dust again. Maybe he'll see some people talking next to a terminal, or someone browsing. But that's the beauty of having a dematerialized form.]

Maybe so.

[Few more seconds of almost-fake typing, and then - yaaaaaawn, stretch, did she see something out the corner of her eye? Which floor are you freakin' ON, Gil?!]

[Well, he was on the second dormitory floor when he started out. And then he climbed the stairs to the third dormitory floor. ...And continued up and up before heading back down again. SIGH.]

[Right, so...no apparent enemy in the third floor library?

...
...

That's her cue to get to the elevator, cape arranged so it just looks like oh, maybe she's got a broken leg or something and is hopping as a result. Thanks for the crutch, Tohko.

Now, to make sure she isn't caught...Well, hopefully her lack of height will come in handy just this once?]

[Yes, yes, your lack of height will handy. But eventually -- eventually -- Archer will find you.

In fact, if your luck is bad at all, he may already be on the elevator whenever it is called.]
