~Cosmo~

Hmmm..

"An investor? How...quaint." material goods were well enough, he suppose. And everything in this city requires material funds in order to prosper. Or what they define as prosper.

Is it a good civilzation? no.

"Be quiet when you enter the library."

❝ Can this machine of yours really read a plant's mind ? ❞ Magic works in MYSTERIOUS ways and with her previous temporary stay in the human realm, Willow had learned that so does TECHNOLOGY. In a way, it's a NEW kind of sorcery, like various spells MIXED together to make a powerful cast enough to read through one's consciousness.

Back home, there would be a POTION that could solve this assignment in a blink of an eye. But in Isola, things work differently, the witchling has grown to accept that. However, other feasible RESOURCES were AVAILABLE: machinery. And who better than an expert in science and computers to ask for help in the matter.

❝ Maybe this flower got secrets that not even the TITAN knows. ❞ She held the potted flower up in the air, eyes squinting as she analyzed the organism. A bit skeptical of what they might find hiding behind those delicate petals. ❝ Alright, Cosmo, give it a go ! I'm ready to know her DARKEST secrets. ❞

There's a small puddle next to the table he's sitting at, not big enough to be noticeable but just big enough for someone to slip on. Someone like the small waiter bringing him his order (iced coffee and an assortment of rice cake balls). Monkey King catches him with a tail around his waist, one hand shooting out to keep the tray from tipping over, all without looking up from his phone.

Welcome back!

Your hiatus will be noted!

Cosmo walks into the NokNok cafe, their hair, clothes, and face completely drenched. “Why didn’t anyone warn me it was gonna rain?! At first it was drizzling, but then I get hit by a sudden downpour! I should’ve brought an umbrella.” Cosmo sneezes, rain is NOT their friend. 

“Okie dokie. Just stay there!” She ran behind the counter to grab a fluffy towel, and was quick to hand it to them. “Hurry! Dry dry!! Or you’ll get sick!”

She even used her own dish cloth to dry off their face; but she may have been a little clumsy about it. “Is that helping?”

"I'm Twin Turbo! The fastest horse girl here in Spirale!" Because she was, as far as she was concerned now, the only one here.

The weather was starting to get warmer so Donnie could once again start taking trips to the scrapyards without the danger of cold metal giving him ice burns. Unfortunately, as he's about to find out, he's not the only person to get this idea.

"I saw it first. Also, I am stronger so I'm taking it." He pulls at the almost completely intact carburetor, more than willing to fight the bunny kid for it.

From behind they looked somewhat similar to hers. Of course they weren't the same color or design at all but that would be expecting Turbo to make that connection and not continue her rush over towards them minding their own business. They didn't look like a Tracen student she knew but there was only one way to figure that out...

"Hey! Heyheyheyhey! Are you a horse girl too?"

And those were the first words that escape the bright blue haired girl the moment she made her way in front of them. Probably not the best way to start any kind of relationship but certainly not the worst...

It had taken some processing the scenario — neither Ritsuka, Shirou nor Rin, but another girl proclaimed herself to be the King of Knights' Master. Someone she bore no recollection of prior to entering the labyrinth into which the mists had lured her — and more puzzling was the addition of three other Servants, two of whom had been her enemy prior to joining a united front at Chaldea.

Theirs were not to be the only familiar faces — one who belonged not to the Throne of Heroes nor the world of which it were attached had also found themselves within the labyrinth. and certainly, if not guarded, vulnerable to assassination by any other Servant participating in this Holy Grail War.

Saber had been transfixed at the sight of the youngling long enough to catch Manaka's attention, the Master first to address the Servant before Caster swooped in with a mischievous smile upon glossed lips.

"My, Saber, who knew you had an affinity for such cute little critters?"

"don't be foolish, Caster," was Saber's retort, quick to distance herself from the witch and instead approach the lone party. "Cosmo. I trust this is the fault of the Stars — it is unsafe to walk here alone — you would be better accompanying us".

“Cosmo, I told you to obey my rules, but every single time you get too reckless.”

“Glitchmaster, please stop. I told you I’m doing the best I can.” 

“It isn’t enough. If we want to overthrow the Nightmare Knight and take Dreamside for ourselves, we’ll need to work harder.”

“You’re baiting me with false promises, aren’t you? You’re saying that you’ll make Dreamside (the universe where Cosmo is originally from) a test ground for my inventions when you just want it for yourself. You’re lying to me.”

“Cosmo, it is dumb to think that. I know you’re not foolish enough to make such accusations. Now follow my rules and nobody gets hurt. Do I make myself clear?”

“Hello? Is anyone there?” Cosmo keeps a stoic face despite being trapped in this weird area. When a voice reaches their ears, they turn around. 

“ Mister Donald? Is that you?” Their voice is a mix of panic, fear, and boredom. They hate having to go through such terrible things almost every single month. They can’t really see well in the mist, but when they feel feathers in front of them, they just wrap their arms around Donald. They’re not crying, but they’re still very scared of what might happen. “What’s going on…? Were are we?”

Oh no, it was them. Donalds quick to let Cosmo hug him, and in turn Donald holds them back, giving a little squeeze to reassure them he was there. [It’s gonna be alright, Cosmo. You’re safe with me.]

He wishes he had an answer for them. He didn’t want Cosmo to have to feel this fear, but he knew better than to try and shelter them. All he could do was his best, and protect Cosmo no matter what.

[I’m sorry pal, I haven’t got a clue.] He lets go of them to get a look at their face. Cosmo didn’t seem too scared thankfully, but it was still best for them to find a way to safety.
