???? Grail [Action EVERYWHERE]

[dressofheaven]

[It starts with an unfamiliar woman walking up to the Breeding Centre in Goldenrod. She looks around for a bit, as if checking the place out, then puts her hands on her hips.]

Well, I think I just figured out what's going on.

[A few moments later, she's gone. Where? Well, it's fourth wall weekend. She could be anywhere.

Including right behind you, leaning over your shoulder and grinning.]

Hi!

[OOC: Route Future!Ilya is a go! Responses will come from feelmyheaven. Everyone is welcome! Meet her at the Centre, wherever your character is, trapped in a cave somewhere, doesn't matter.]

[Ilya is best Archerko.]

Impressive-looking, isn't it?

[She flutters her eyelashes at him and poses with a hand on her hip, smirking.]

Though I've definitely considered adding a bit more purple to it.

[namelesshero]

[my little not-sister can't be this hotcutewhat]

Ah, so it is you, Ilyasviel.

You're all grown up.

[feelmyheaven]

[It's okay to feel this way, Archer.

You're not blood related, after all.]

And only ten years late! This world has been good for me, wouldn't you say?

Oh, wait, did you already know about that? I have no idea who I've told and who I haven't in this time...

[namelesshero]

This is news to me. [but now that he's gotten a better look at her. her armor pieces...the same coat... no doubt had Archer been trying to figure out just what this girl knew and didn't know about him by this point. especially to have taken after his likeness so much now]

There's really no point in beating around the bush about this, is there? What else has changed for you?

[feelmyheaven]

Whoops. For my younger self's sake I hope you don't remember that once this is over. She hides that fact for a reason.

[It's a bit less of a sore spot once she's actually started growing properly, but still.]

But that's a big question... Ten years can be a pretty long time, especially around here.

[namelesshero]

Well if I do, you won't have to worry about your younger self.

Then you wouldn't mind answering how you've taken on my likeness. Would you, Ilya?

[feelmyheaven]

Oh, that? [She shrugs and grins at him.] It's one of three outfits I wear to honor my teachers in self-defense, is all.

[namelesshero]

One of three? You've been busy all these years. [he sounds impressed. but admittedly he's even more curious about just what this meant about her abilities]

So what brings you my way?

[feelmyheaven]

Ten years actually being able to get out and stretch my legs has been good for me, you could say.

Well, I got teleported in close enough to see you, so I thought I'd come by and say hi. You get used to that sort of thing in these weird weekends.

[namelesshero]

I see. Seems to me that it shows too. [without answering what exactly he means by that, he carries on, raising a hand in front of Ilya as if he's reaching for something]

Of those three... ["Trace on." one of Archer's twin swords flashes into existence. Kanshou to be exact. but he doesn't brandish it before her as a challenge. more as a curiosity as he gives Ilya a knowing look] I was one of them. [he says this matter of factly, even if Archer doesn't actually remember this in his lifetime. who was he to deny what was in front of him? could she do the same as he? can you gar like the best?]
