[another day in Mac Anu, though the sun seems to be...a bit more vibrant and bright. for some reason. who knows.

but for those roaming about, you may come across posters on various walls of the city, through all the districts, and maybe even tacked to a couple shop doors. it's an advertisement for a new guild; each drawn by hand.

you see: it had taken a bit of time, but Amaterasu had finally gotten about to creating her own guild in The World. and now she plans on getting the word about it to everyone who may be looking for a guild - or, even those in one, a secondary place for them to come to if they would so desire. the treasury is stocked full of various items gathered from her adventures. it was all set up.

now to recruit!

scenario a. it doesn't really matter where you may be, whether it's outside the warp gate area, the main fountain area of Mac Anu, or one of the other districts of the city. Amaterasu is there with a pleasant smile on her face, looking quite pleased and happy. did you happen to see the posters about the city?

are you interested in joining the guild? or maybe you just want to make some small talk. well, whichever. she'll be happy.

scenario b. on the bridge the connects the Chaos Gate to the Town Square, there is a grunty sitting on the rail and just relaxing. occasionally reaching to the bag at its side and pulling out a meat bun to partake in the joys that is eating.

this dog ears, red marked little grunty really should be doing some advertisement for the guild and getting people to join. but. eh, that can come later. it's quite happy enough to just sit there and enjoy the view.]

[The energy from her is unmistakable, but still different from the black-haired version of her from the other world.]

[And from her words, she has no idea who he is...]

There are other matters I would like to speak with you about, Amaterasu.

[Which isn't to say he won't join the guild, he's actually undecided on that. It's not like he needs the sleeping space.]

[there's a moment of pause from her as her name comes from him; it wasn't too odd that people knew who she was, especially those that she may not be acquainted with. but that is not to say that it still takes her by surprise at some times.]

Aah, well...

[matters to speak to her about...]

Would you rather some place a little more quiet, or are you fine speaking of these matters here?

I would prefer someplace solitary.

[In all likelihood, this discussion is going to involve his real name somehow, and it's too early for Shirou to find that out.]

[she had thought as much - was already going through all the more quiet areas in her head - and gives a nod.]

Aah, aah, then follow me.

[she knew the layout of the town, after all; could find the best places to nap and the perfect spot where people wouldn't wander to, unless they were curious or looking for their own spot away from the crowd.

so, pocketing the Relic and picking up her sandwich, she ~~finishes it off on their walk~~ leads him throw a few twists and turns of the town - through an alley or two, until they come upon a quiet, desolate place. boxes, barrels, and the walls of the buildings the only things around.]

Will this be okay?

It should suffice, yes.

I find the fact that you don't recognize me both intriguing and disconcerting. And you look different from the last time I saw you.

...

[eh?

didn't recognize him? looking different from the last time?

she'll give a slight tilt of her head, arms coming to cross her chest, as she...stares.]

Is that so...

[how disconcerting - and here she was sure that she had been able to get the majority of her memory back...]

I should apologize. My memory hasn't been the most reliable, ever since losing my corporeal form.

[That's news to him. As far as he knew, only Lugh's form had been lost to the void, and JP's hadn't even sealed Amaterasu in the first place.]

It may be that you have several "existences" - one to which I am speaking, one within the domain of Polaris, and others that I have no way of accounting for.

But since it seems I must introduce myself no matter the situation, my name is Alcor.

[nope, never heard of the "domain of Polaris" before, though it really doesn't really seem to bother her all that much that there could be others hers elsewhere - in different "existences" as he calls them. hey, she traveled back 100 years and met Shiranui; it may be a little awkward (and kind of weird) that there may be another Amaterasu somewhere, but...

came with the territory of meeting people from so many different places.]

Perhaps you are right.

[that was something to think of for another time, at least.

for now? a smile and anxious tail wags.]

Alcor... [it seems to...roll off her tongue in a natural way.] Well, it's nice to meet you, Alcor.

Likewise.

However, I must ask you only address me as Alcor in private. All others here know me as Al Saiduq. In particular, the Shining One, Shirou Asahi, cannot know my true name.

Not yet.

[oh - so he had a preference for being called something, just like one of her other friends. well! she's good when it comes to accommodating others.]

Mm! Of course. I will take care to do that.

[...]

Is there is a reason for why this person cannot know your name? Ah - if it is something you wish to share, I should say.

If he learns my name, it is very likely that he will attempt to destroy me. Doing so here would not accomplish anything.

[oh.

well.]

Are you two...enemies?

[she'd rather not see anyone get destroyed, even if that would happen to be the case.]

Only in that I stand in the way of his goals, even though he is not aware of it. And yet, for humanity to survive, he must succeed...
