When: April 18-19
Warnings: None



A

[After arriving, Saber quickly takes to her job as ride operator for the King Arthur Carousel. The name is a little...on the nose, and the sword in the stone across the way vexes her, though she tries to avoid paying it much attention.

Though she's still adjusting to the job, she stands attentively by the controls to let people on, and begin the ride when ready, wearing a name tag that has "Saber" scribbled over whatever originally lay underneath.]

B

[In her downtime, Saber has taken to exploring around the park, getting a feel for the area. This has also led to her passing by numerous food stalls offering up things she had never even seen before.

As a result, she can be found wandering the Magic Kingdom with arms full of a variety of treats (including multiple Dole Whips), looking rather small in contrast to the burden she's carrying.]

[At one point during her shift, Saber might glance over at the sword in the stone in time to see some kid dressed like a pirate trying to pull the sword free.]

HNNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHH!

[avalion]

[She briefly catches glimpse of the child, and turns away, attempting to pay the situation no mind. After a moment, her eyes wander back and...is that kid still at it?]

It only comes out at certain times.

[ilovepuppies]

HHNNNNN- wha? [Her grip loosens and she tumbles to the ground.]

When's the next time?

[avalion]

[Star's energy brings a light smile to Saber's face, and she kneels beside her to offer her hand in helping her up.]

I'm...not sure. I haven't memorized the schedule yet.

[ilovepuppies]

[She reluctantly accepts, with a groan.] I should've known there was a catch! Who leaves a free sword out in the open for people to just come and take? I guess I'm just gonna wait it out.

[avalion]

[There, there, Star.]

Pulling Excalibur grants one rule over the Kingdom of Britain. It's not something that can, or should, be taken lightly. Perhaps you should use this time to reflect on whether the weight of kingship is one you can carry.

[ilovepuppies]

Wait, what? I thought it was just a free sword!

[avalion]

Well...

[She looks a little embarrassed.]

This one is. It's not the real sword of selection, of course.

[ilovepuppies]

Oh! [Phew.] Because the last thing I need is another kingdom to rule.

[avalion]

[...]

Excuse me?

[You what?]

[ilovepuppies]

Yeah! My mom's still the ruler but I'm gonna be the queen of Mewni someday.

...If I ever get to stay home longer than two weeks, that is.

[SUR...PRISE?]

[avalion]

How long will it be to that day?

[Bearing the burden of the throne as a child is not a fun idea.]
