0.0.4 -> video (Day 262, late morning)

[unhappymeal]

[Well he sure has been gone awhile. His bracelet was returned to him in the wee hours of the morning, and he headed straight to see Irisviel. Leaving her behind for so long is something he can't quite forgive himself for, even if it wasn't intentional. But she always forgives him, and experiencing that lets him feel the warm sense of "love and family" that he cherishes.

It's later morning now and he's sitting in some fast food joint when he addresses the camera. He actually looks quite a bit less tired than usual -- the bright side to forgetting his "self" was that grey!Kiritsugu didn't keep himself up worrying about everything -- and his gentle smile is perhaps more cheerful than it tends to be.

This also might have something to do with the hamburger and milkshake he seems to think make a good breakfast.]

It seems I've missed quite a bit. Sorry to anyone who noticed I was gone, and thank you for your concern.

Ah, but to everyone else... If one wanted an in with our "divine" hosts, which would you recommend talking to? I guess you could also take it as "which god is your favorite" or something like that. Just curious who's made a good impression and who hasn't.

...what are you doing?

[The question is open to interpretation, and for once not by Archer's own design. Seated in the kitchen, cup of tea on the table and newspaper in hand, he stops what he's doing and folds his paper in half to give Kiritsugu an unquestionably judgmental stare]

[unhappymeal]

Eating breakfast.

[Do you see this totally blank and unassuming face Archer? It's the face of someone who is most likely going to be laughing at you in a very short amount of time.]

[Dear lord you did not just say that. The disgust is palpable.]

So you say, but I don't see any breakfast. Perhaps the bracelet's field of vision is sub par.

[unhappymeal]

Hmm, perhaps it is.

[That's okay, he'll just take a nice big bite out of his hamburger. He can see it just fine, what a wonder!]

[unhappymeal]

[Wow that is a delicious burger.]

Fortunately I assure you there is in fact breakfast on this table.

[tracings]

[Wow Dad, you are ridiculous and maybe also five. Archer is, for the moment, wondering how he ever looked up to this man.]

Regardless of what you may think, fast food does not count.

[unhappymeal]

[Twelve, thank you.]

I don't think there are laws about what you can or can't eat for breakfast.

[tracings]

It isn't the legality I'm debating, as I'm sure you're aware.

[UGH. He sets down his paper and scoots his chair back from the table.]

...have you contacted your wife? If I recall, she was worried.

[unhappymeal]

It was the first thing I did, of course.

Thor's alright.

[Can't speak of favourites. Nor house-solidarity, considering her's has gone a bit batshit ever since her brother's death/kidnap/whatever.]

From the ones I've seen, it depends. Do you want to be condescended to and treated like a baby, whined at because apparently you're whining, or insulted but pretty much leveled with?

... oh yeah, and there's the guy who threatens to skin people alive, but I don't think he's got any authority.

He seems loud.

[Not that that's necessarily a bad quality, but it's true.]

[unhappymeal]

It sounds like a pleasant bunch.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

They're basically superpowered criminals. You expected any better?

[Not that Pyro hasn't got his share of experience on the criminal side of things. But some (most) would assert that he's not so pleasant himself.]

The only one I've made any headway with is Odin, and that's still not much.

[sneakyshoes]

Oooo~oooh, good question. I hadn't thought of that. Do they really come down from their high horses and rub elbows with the rest of us?

[badwolf]

A bit. He's nicer than some of the others, though, long as you don't try an' argue.

Kiritsugu-san! You're back!

[There's a look of relief here. She's worried since Iri mentioned she hadn't seen him around...]

[holyfight]

Oh! You were gone?

Wait, aren't you the one we were looking for?

video;

[unhappymeal]

That sounds better than it could be. What are your impressions of the rest of them?

voice;;

[unhappymeal]

Occasionally, yes. They're in the habit of making announcements when something important happens, at least.

[Video]

[unhappymeal]

So I am.

[There's a big smile for Hibiki. He's glad she seems well and still present.]

I'm sorry if I've worried you.

[unhappymeal]

You were looking for me?

They seem to successfully run the city, for the most part. Historically it's been prosperous overall, from what I've gathered.

[tracings]

So that's taken care of. Very well, where are you?

[unhappymeal]

Somewhere comfortable.
