[ The feed snaps on, and it's Saber, lying on her side with her cheek pressed against her knuckles. It's the more blue yes, they're color coded, calmer version also flatter chested, and probably the "older" one in staying in Exsilium. She has an almost uncharacteristic smirk on her face, but she's gonna go ahead and address the tablet with: ]

Tell me of the various tales of your lands, foreigners of Exsilium.

And not just any stories - I wish to know of your heroes, of your mythologies, of your monsters and men. Perhaps walking among you are heroes and villains themselves. I would think we've all calmed down from the Initiative's most recent fallacy: surely those afflicted have learned some things of their bodies to pique certain curiosities?

I am particularly interested in myths surrounding a figure known as King Arthur and his Excalibur. [ This is where her smirk just grows a bit too much for one whose expression is mostly guarded and impassive. ]

Different realms account for different flavors, but perhaps we will discover the threads here.

What are you doing?

[ She sounds just a tad bit frantic. ]

[invisibleboobs]

Ah, there's my errant body. [ Smirkitty smirk smirk. ] I'm simply starting casual conversation. What have you been doing with my body?

[excalibutt]

Treating it with respect and care. [ What else? ] I am afraid I must borrow clothes from my Master however unless you have something I could wear over... this.

[Coby obviously just assumes Saber is wearing contact lenses and has removed her padded bra or something.]

King Arthur? I've never heard of that man. I only know of the Kings of my world, actually.

[HEALTHY AND STILL ALIVE DESPITE ALL REASON.]

[ Hey. Those are all natural! Hmph. She notes how the boy doesn't look too worse for the wear despite the medium beating she gave him. Hmm. ]

Kings of what lands or feats, then?

Video;

[chore_boy]

[Nope. He's just too dopey to die.]

'Feats'? Well, there's only a handful of Kings in the world who accomplish what you could call 'feats'... I'm not sure if I'd like to emphasize them, either.

We no longer live in an age where Kings have commonly been warriors and much of our history vanished in the Void Century. I can't exactly give you a proper account of anyone who may be an admirable example, ma'am.

King Arthur? I don't think I've ever heard of a king by that name actually.

... but if that's alright, I do know some stories.

[invisibleboobs]

[ Gestures with her free hand like a king would permit her subjects to go on. ]

Regale me.

[valkyrise]

[She tries to hold in a laugh; after all, maybe she's talking to someone who really is that important, but she wasn't expecting to feel like she was being granted audience and all that.]

Alright! Let's see now... Back where I'm from, there's a legend of a people called the Valkyria. [Well, not really a legend considering everything, but! Talking about them like they were is ironically funny now, in a way.] Have you ever heard of them?

[emptysword]

...Saber.

What are you doing.

[flatly said.]

[invisibleboobs]

[ Bored, annoyed look. ]

Do I truly have to repeat myself? My words were clear enough.

[text]

[abjection]

... Saber?

That is a specific request.

[And he's admittedly a little confused, give this poor objection-addled brain a few moments to put C and D together.]

[text]

[invisibleboobs]

Made in a broader request. Honestly, do any of you listen at all?

[ Pretty much just chilling in her new body. And finding ways to mess with its true owner. ]

[gordonowesmeabeer]

King Arthur? I know Monty Python made a movie about him once. It was pretty funny.

[invisibleboobs]

Who? What sort of play did he write?

[Video]

[knightoflight]

I don't know any of these stories, friend. But I'd love to learn yours.

[Video]

[invisibleboobs]

[ She arches a brow at the "friend" part. Cozy, this one, but she puffs up a little at the reverse interest. ]

You'd have to be specific. There are many tales and myths that have been passed down the long history of my realm. Do you favor the tragic? The heroic? Perhaps a tale woven to inspire laughter and hope? Though the fact that you do not know any stories of your own speaks several implications by itself.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Excalibur!

It's a sword delivered to the greatest of knights by the Lady of the Lake, a worthy symbol of leadership!

... Until you question about why strange women in ponds handing out swords is considered a valid form of governance.

No King Arthur in my homeland, though, so can't help you there.

[invisibleboobs]

[ Annoyance is quick to flash on her face over that glossed up, dry summary. ]

With your uninspired attempt at storytelling, I doubt you could help me any further.

[pay_your_respects]

Oooh? I don't know anything about any kings, but monsters--I know about them!

voice;

[invisibleboobs]

You seem rather excited to tell, so by all means, entertain me with your accounts.

video.

[graciousness]

I can tell you plenty of Arthur, but I haven't heard of Excalibur.

video.

[invisibleboobs]

Mmm? You sound as though you know the man personally, and not the fabled sword he is famous for wielding?

[isinganyway]

My world tells no tales of kings named Arthur, but I know a prince here by that name. But Westeros has many other tales, which I would be happy to share.

[invisibleboobs]

Tell me of the first before we move on to your land of Westeros. I've not heard of this realm, but being able to weave an inspired tale tells much of its people, especially if we are only working on sounds alone.
