Fran


Aventon - Town Square


Fran was just surveying the various items, products and knickknacks the caravan had on display when her ears caught onto the conversation being had between Sanae and one of the more affluent merchants.

Well, we left from the capital, Nieve, and circled around westward through a few towns before ending up here at Aventon, but I think that our current route ends here. We're headed back to Nieve once we're done here, so please, do make the most of the time you have perusing our wares."


Back to Nieve...? Do you think it'd be too much to ask if some of us could travel with you, then?"


Fran had approached and stood beside the shrine priestess, her head in a curious tilt. Traveling? To the capital? The others were talking about the strange dreams that little girl was having when Anne was watching over her. Perhaps their ragtag group could find answers in Nieve? The berserker was willing to bet on that.

"With us? Well, I think you'd have to pay a bit to join as a customer; we're not a traveling service, after a—"


"We can all take care of ourselves, I think. In fact, I think we might be more capable than the guards in your employ right now."


Fran turned her head toward Sanae with an unseen raised eyebrow. What a bold statement to make, even when it was true.

The merchant, along with the guards that traveled with him, looked unimpressed by the show of bravado and said as much.

"Well, miss, you might be a bit well-spoken, but I don't know if your words are sharp as a blade. That big golem-like friend of yours I'd believe that from, but—and I say this with the utmost concern for your well-being—these people with me are quite amazing in their own right, and they're proud of it. Making light of them is only only going to cause problems for everyone, myself included."


The Servant took the time to give the guards a look. They did seem strong.....by human standards. Before Fran could make any more deductions, Mokou and Remilia had the conversation, the fiery immortal goading for a fight and vampire offer her healing powers should said fight be had. Either way, Fran wasn't worried, especially if things escalated to trading blows. After all...

Humans can't match a Servant.

"Allow me to understand this: In the span of half a day, you and 'Alice' hit it off, develop a romance, make love, AND now you're suddenly pregnant? They say that love can blossom even on the battlefield, but apparently you decided to take that poverb literally."


Kerry raised a finger to offer a counterpoint....only to slowly lower her hand as she slowly understood how the situation looked from Shizuka's perspective. The hornet had the decency to look somewhat sheepish.

"....You know, when you put it out like that, it seems kinda ridiculous, doesn't it?", she responded with a rocky chuckle.

"I'm rather certain that we're in the middle of a war with death around every corner, not the ideal place to nurse a newborn. And you certainly can't be allowed to sortie in that state in good conscience. YES I am aware of the differences of mamono biology and culture but it's the PRINCIPLE of the matter!"


"Ugh, you starting to sound like Rev. Look, I'll tell you the same thing I told him: Alice and I aren't leaving and that's final. However, if it makes you feel any better, I won't take on quests ALONE. When it gets to that point, I promise to stay in home base and focus on my child's safety. But until that happens, I'm continuing to do my part. Alright?"

Thankfully, Shizuka seemed to have reached the end of venting his shock and disbelief, ending the conversation in favor of eating and resting. Kerry took this as a good sign. His reaction wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be and he wasn't ordering or forcing her off the island.

The Hangai sisters definitely took it as a good sign, too.

"WOW~! Kerry-san going to be a mommy? That's wonderful! Congratulations! Have you thought of a name for the baby yet? Oh, oh! Can I name it? Pretty please?~


Hehe, thanks! Sadly, you're too late for the naming. Her name's Gwendolyn.", Kerry answered the jiangshi with a bright smile.

"I offer my congratulations to you as well, Kerry-chan. I, for one, think it's lovely that you and that Alice-san have allowed love to blossom through these troubled times. You know, dearie, I wouldn't mind being a bridesmaid for the event. Provided Alice-san approves.~"


"Considering how much Alice has taken a liking to Hanami, I believe she'll have no issues with you two being bridesmaids. I was looking for some anyways, so consider yourselves on the list."

POOF

Oh! Speak of the devil.", exclaimed the hornet as letters magically appeared before the taskforce members, Kerry snatching hers and opening it to read its contents. "Damn, Ali, you work fast. Looks like we're getting this Heavenly Strike quest done and over with before we make our big move for Takeshi's old man. I'll join up with her, might as well see how she and Lili are doing. See y'all there."

Kerry then took off and headed in the same direction Alice and Liliana took. It didn't take her long to find the duo....but not before nearly getting bowled over by two women that ran past her. One was Eula and the other was a woman she had never seen before until her antennae twitched as her sixth sense picked up on the magical signature.

Wait, was that Carroll? Holy shit, that's a radical new look. If it wasn't for her aura, I wouldn't have recognized her.

Smirking as the automaton and cursed sword ran off, Kerry turned her attention back toward Liliana and her unconscious lover.

"Let me guess...", the hornet began, asking the fairy. "You two fought it out?"
Oh, I got pinged. I know I said I was interested, but after some consideration, I'm not feeling up to this RP. Sorry about that.

Fran


Aventon - Town Square


In the following days after getting the farm back into shape, Fran quickly made herself known to the townsfolk as an effective helping hand, especially when it came to heavy lifting. With her strength and battle mace, any debris and rubble that obstructed the town's roads were cleared with little to no effort. She also became a frequent visitor of the town's flower shop, seen either helping around the shop, delivering flowers or just generally hanging around the area. Additionally, the days gave Fran time to meet with the others who were summoned here as well.

Sanae, Youmu, Remilia and Mokou were a peculiar bunch, all hailing from a place called "Gensokyo" and it was clear that three of them were not human.

Anne, a knight from the "Cosmic Century", was an odd one as well, what with an air of one who has been through too much with dull, tired eyes that have seen too much.

Lewa, from the world of "Mata Nui", was by far the one who stood out the most, being the tallest and robotic-looking. Fran assumed he was a completely mechanical being until he noted that he too had organic parts to him. It made him.....a bit similar to her, in a way.

Last but not least, there was Joker, who immediately knew who she was when she introduced herself, fully aware of the story of Frankenstein's monster. Despite knowing her origin, he didn't seem to know what a Servant was, despite him having a spirit of rebellion at his beck and call. Perhaps he came from a world that was the same yet different from hers? Possibly.

At any rate, while she still knew little of the world she now found herself in, Fran came to enjoy the peaceful days in Aventon.

Until, one day, a break in the routine came along. Merchants, along with their mercenaries as paid bodyguards, came to Aventon to do business.

"Hmm?, mumbled the berserker, seeing the caravan trickle in through the window of the flower shop. Curious, Fran walked to the door and stepped outside to see the buzz is about.

"Hey, Kerry, who're you getting married to?"


"Kerry-san. I, I don't understand. What is the meaning of this? A marriage at a time like this?? Who are you getting married to?"


"Well obviously, the marriage isn't happening right now. That'd be irresponsibly stupid.", Kerry scoffed, obviously stalling. Upon realizing she was, she decided to bite the bullet. "A-And to answer the question....It's Alice. Alice and I are getting married."

And it was after that particular bombshell that Kerry made the executive decision to drop another one on the taskforce leader.

"A-And......hehe......I'm also carrying.....our unborn.....c-child."

Now Kerry really wished Alice and Carroll didn't go off with Lili. While she understood that they needed to talk and it was a dispute that all three of them had to resolve alone, it would definitely be more bearable if the mad hatter were here to show a display of unity.

Alas, now the hornet will have to bear the initial brunt of a dragon being caught unaware.

Fran


Aventon - Eastern Fields


“So, um, I know things worked out, but they were a bit. Well. Chaotic, and I’d really appreciate a warning next time? An idea of the plan?”


A cute pout appeared on Fran's face as she continued her cow wrangling, Rayne floating by her side as she walked with another cow on her shoulder. The berserker wasn't sure what the big deal was. The livestock were being rounded up, the farm was being repaired and, most importantly, no one got hurt...

.....Okay, several of the townsfolk's ears may have been shot and she should've practiced a bit more planning, but still...

"I, um, hope this isn’t touching on a sore spot but the whole, not talking much thing. Can you explain what the deal with that is? Or does the deal stop you from explaining it well? I don’t suppose you can write, or draw or sign language or something to get around it?”


The Servant's pace slowed to a halt at that question. She was wondering when the knight witch would bring it up. It was to be expected. No one here, local or summoned, knew what a Servant was, let alone a Berserker like her. Not to mention her father never bothered with her education and sign language wasn't even a thing back in the era of when her story was written.

"Mad...ness...", Fran answered honestly, tapping a finger to her head to emphasize. Tra...it...com...mon...to....Ber...ser....kers......Makes.....tal....king........hard..."
Alright. You have my interest. Tell me more.
@PaulHaynek @Enkryption @The Irish Tree @AzureKnight @Restalaan @Crowvette

"....This one goes to Quinn....This one's for Orissa. Should probably ask her if she wants to sing at my wedding....This goes to Wendy. Oh, I should probably ask if she wants to make the wedding cake for the event. It'll bring in so much rep for her business...."

Refreshed and glowing from a passionate nest building, Kerry strode out of the temple, flicking the invitation letters to the sky as she made her way to the grounds. Instead of falling to the ground, the letters poofed in a cloud of glittering silver, true to Alice's word that they were delivered to the name of the invited guest, no matter where they were.

"This one's for Xena. Doubt that mantis will dress up for this shindig, but one can hope.....Oh gods, Clara and Fara? Those two kobolds had better behave themselves....One for Shane Maros, daddy dearest.....And the last one goes to........Mom."

The final invitation held in her chitinous hands, the name Pandora Maros written elegantly on the parchment. The hornet took a deep breath before toss the letter into the air, disappearing and sent to its recipient.

"It's done. Invitations sent. No turning back now.", Kerry spoke, dusting her hands. "Heh....wow. I'm actually getting married. This.....this is r-really happening......Hehehe...."

As she giggled at what the prospective future held, Kerry would notice the rest of the taskforce finally returning from their quests. And judging from smiles and captured Varjans, the liberation of Komatsu Bay was a success. Obviously, with the winds now in their favor, Takeshi was eager to finally make an offensive push, starting with rescuing his father, Hideo Oja.

About time the winds shifted in our favor., she thought to herself as she approached to greet and congratulate her teammates, when she remembered one crucial detail. Actually, two.

Alice's return......and their little miracle.

"Uuuuh, hey guys.", Kerry announced herself, now unsure of how to go about breaking this news. "I see y'all are back taking back Komatsu Bay. Awesome. Maybe now, we can start taking it to those Varjan asshats. And while you were gone...

Alice, Carroll and Eula just walked out of the temple when Kerry gestured with her thumb back toward the trio.

"....Guess who came back to us?"

Fran


Aventon - Eastern Fields


As Rayne blink dashed back to town to reassure the locals that nothing was amiss, Fran turned her attention back to the unconscious cows....which have now become quite the sizeable bovine pile-up.

Huh....Every time she comes up with a solution, a new problem instantly rears its head afterwards. Oh well, at least this issue is more manageable. Dismissing her weapon, Fran approached the cow, bent down and, once she had a good grip on the animal...

"Hyup!"

....lifted the cow onto her shoulder as if it was a measly bag of carrots. The berserker then walked all the way to the big barn that was still intact and gently put the animal down inside. As she strode back out, Fran stopped near a farmhand, who was still frozen from her screaming earlier. It only took the Servant a moment to find a remedy to this problem. With just one finger...

*BZZZT*

"OW!"

There. Got the human moving again.

And so began Fran's task of going back and froth, picking up cows one by one and depositing them in the barn, all the while zapping a farmhand on the way. Hopefully, enough of them can get started on building a new fence to keep the cows contained once they wake up. As she walked with another cow in tow, Fran notices Rayne glancing over to her. With a neutral expression that heavily contrasted with everything she has done so far, the Servant gave the witch knight a thumbs up before resuming her task.
