[ All things considered there's not a whole lot to do around these parts now that she's not deliriously ill. It's really not in her nature to explore or fuck with things that she has no incentive to fuck with, but finding whatever mysterious and closed off cavern everyone's been yapping about seemed like a better plan than taking her 20th nap of the day.
The sight of a not so familiar figure gives her pause, and she stakes it out– hidden behind brush and foliage. Then of course, she hears the figure's voice and upon realizing that she's likely in no danger and maybe due for some entertainment, she stalks closer and knocks loudly on the back of Mordred's armor. ]
[ Mordred's helmet unfolds and reveals her face, although she's not turning around to face her just yet. All the better, because she wouldn't want Zero to see her grinning. ]
I thought I could smell something nasty, now I know it's just you.
Who the hell is Arthu– actually, forget it. Don't care.
[ Whoever she's related to and whatever her name is Zero doesn't foresee herself actually referring to her by name much anyway (and she has a feeling that the sentiment is shared). ]
I'm Zero– no fancy title shit like you, just Zero. Now haul your big metal ass over here. There's supposed to be caverns or something that no one can reach.
[ That's kind of depressing, but she does as she's told by approaching Zero, mostly because her mind is still on the name. She'll address the secret cave in a moment. ]
[ It's not the first time someone's shown concern about the nature of her name– but she certainly doesn't expect that kind of concern or curiosity out of present company. ]
No, I gave myself that name.
[ She raises an eyebrow. ]
You building up to something? Because if you are, let me save you the trouble and tell you right now that it's probably going to be stupid as hell.
[ Wouldn't that require her to have any sense of foresight? On the other hand, history has proven that Mordred can indeed bide her time and work her way towards something, but... ]
No, I think you're an absolute genius. Now shut up and get over here.
[ Zero stands at the edge of the lake, watching the water ripple with the tell-tale sounds of life beneath its surface. A tail, shimmery and colorful, breaches the water's surface. ]
Bet those assholes know something about those caves everyones been talking about.
1/? avkvos arrival onwards until the network comes back online
[ Mordred, of course, isn't getting any of these messages, but she is wondering around the same time just where the hell Konoha and some of the others could be. Would she even try to contact Mordred if she were safe?
Restless one evening, she checks her smartwatch again, only to find no messages. Is there even a point in trying to contact her? She's probably found a way to go back to her world or something.
Whatever...
She clenches the smartwatch in her fist, then throws it across whatever room she's renting. Who needs this stupid thing!! ]

Nice makeover.

no subject
Yeah, well I thought I heard something stupid. But I guess that was just you.
[ That's the best she can come up with on the fly.. ]
What the hell are you even doing, slinking around in the grass like this?
blanket apologies again
[ ...
Look.
They're both terrible at insults on the fly. Let's just leave it at that. ]
Things are starting to feel boring around the temple, I was hoping I'd find some action here.
[ TO FIGHT!!!! She's itching to fight something!! ]
no subject
[ Zero jerks her chin in the direction of the lake. ]
Mermaids are apparently pretty fucking good at holding their own.
[ Watching Mordred fight slutty fish in that giant tin can definitely sounded like the closest thing to entertainment possible in this place. ]
Just let me have the honor of pushing your giant metal ass in.
no subject
You would be honored... you have no idea who you're dealing with.
[ ...annnd then she takes a step back, observing Zero before she looks away again. It doesn't seem like she's as sick as last time, but... ]
Don't sneeze at me again.
[ that hurt!! ]
no subject
What– you get a new outfit and suddenly you think you're hot shit?
[ She waves a hand motioning for Mordred to come closer into the clearing and near the lake– though she pauses abruptly to ponder: ]
Actually, who the fuck am I dealing with? You were too busy getting your ass kicked to introduce yourself properly last time.
no subject
[ huff huff!!! ]
But since you already asked, I am Mordred, the one and true heir of Arthur Pendragon!
[ ...wait, shit, she's supposed to be careful with that. ]
I mean-- Saber! Saber of Red!

Is it your watch that's broken or mine? Or... ours over here? I don't know.
The mermaids are nice enough, but I don't know what we can do about their problem... The only one I can find is that some of the coral is dead.
... Sorry, I'm rambling. Let me know if you get this!
