destinystrings | ITP: Daily routine

Who: Arturia and OPEN
Where: Various places
Summary: Arturia goes through her daily routine and runs into various people.
Warnings: None at the moment.

[A: Capricorn Ward; Sunrise]
Let it never be said Arturia was anything if not dedicated to her chosen art. It was only through dedication she was out here at this time of morning despite the freezing temperatures going through a basic form with her practice sword. It'd become part of her routine to get practice in before school since coming to Hinoto-Ri. After practice she planned on eating some of the breakfast she'd packed. Arturia wasn't much of a cook, but she could manage to pack fruit, yogurt, and some bagels for herself and any potential sparring partner she had.

It wasn't unusual for some people to come and request a sparring session with her. Usually Garviel or her uncle, but a few others had as well. Arturia never said no unless she had less than a few minutes to head in to school. Just like now, as she swung her sword and accidentally sent the head of the impromptu practice dummy she'd set up flying. Arturia sighed and went to retrieve it from where it'd landed.

Maybe soon she'd have enough money saved up to get a proper broadsword rather than this wooden one. Weapons like this did seem plentiful in this city, given the circumstances.

[B: Various locations; Afternoon]
A girl on a blue moped with a cutesy lion logo on the side sped through the city, stopping every once in a while to pull up a map on her COMP and make sure she was heading in the right direction. Arturia had deliveries to make and she told every customer she'd have the jobs done in less than half an hour. Heaven help her if she ever broke her word on that.

Right now, due to needing to refuel, she was running behind what she thought would be a good time, and knew she was likely going over the speed limit. Despite this, Arturia found herself excited. Here she was down to the wire, adrenaline singing through her veins as the wind whipped through her hair and the clock ticked ever closer to thirty minutes since she received the initial call. She just had to turn on this street and, despite her need for speed, had to slow down to make sure she had the right place. Two minutes.... minute and a half....

Arturia almost fell over as she got off the moped, quickly locked it up, and dashed into the front door of the building with the package under her arm. Thirty seconds--!

"Here's your package!" she said as she practically slammed it on the counter, a triumphant note to her voice.

Made it. Just in time.

[C: Virgo Ward; Evening]
And once her deliveries were done for the day came her own personal errands: dinner for herself and her uncle, cat food, a few odds and ends for around the apartment. Things like that. After dinner she would have homework, but for now she wandered the Virgo District to get her shopping done, occasionally waving and saying hello to people she knew.

It was odd how one could adjust to such unusual circumstances, but Arturia had no choice but to accept things as they are for now. After all, when she went home it would be as if she never left. She knew she would definitely fret more about her situation and demand to return home if it wasn't like that and people hadn't confirmed it for her.

Still, she had moments where she worried. Would Archer ever tell her what he was doing for once? How would Sakura react once she found out about her brother? What condition would the students in the school be in now that the Blood Fort had fallen?

Would she be able to help Rin and Lancer win the Grail War if she couldn't even get her Servant to listen? She trusted Archer when he said he had the world's best interests in mind, but how could she trust him beyond that when he kept disappearing and not speaking to her?

She rubbed the back of her hand where her Command Seals resided as she looked over the selection of instant food to take back to her Uncle. Frozen dinner or just get some fast food? Hard to decide.

The silent wolf is backlit by the sun as he approaches, the servo-motors of his armor whirring as he walks towards her. He folds his arms, and raises a single eyebrow as she decapitates the practice dummy.

"I suppose practice makes the master, but why did you break it?"

Link was heading out towards the Capricorn ward, too - and blinked in surprise when a dummy head flew towards him. He caught it in his hands and smiled, holding it out to Arturia.

"This is yours, right? That was a really good swing."

Shopping was still something very bizarre to Anant. Food laid out in buildings, easily purchased by the card that was given to them? The food was extremely strange as well. They knew tinned food, since those were what were scavenged in the Wastes, but everything else...

'Instant Meals'? Microwave? 'Milk'? 'Cornflakes'? Other things?? Strange, strange, strange!

Anant wished to buy all of it! But they were well aware of currency and prices (they weren't that out of touch with civilisation!), which meant they would have to choose the most interesting and curious of things to purchase...

Prowling the instant food area, Anant rolled their camera between their hands, their head tilting this way and that as they gazed at the colourful packaging of some microwaveable curry.

"Interesting, interesting..." Anant murmured, lifting up their camera and taking a few pictures of the shelved food. "There is such a wide range of selection of the same meals - brands? Competition...?"

Pit's wandering about the Virgo ward, too. He works there, but that's besides the point. It's getting colder and colder. The clothes he bought yesterday aren't warm enough for him today (metaphorically speaking). He's trying not to amass too big of a wardrobe, though, so he only has one bag of clothes on him as he starts to make his way back to the Libra ward.

That is, until he spots Arturia.

"Hey!"

"That was fast!" the woman she was delivering to congratulated her. "Must have been under six kilometers."

Meetra happily signed for the package. "I guess I didn't need them so urgently you had to risk death delivering them, though...it's just some lenses."
