[This place doesn't make any sense, as far as Arthur is concerned. And while interrogating what faculty he could taught him a little more about this whole school thing, it took a great deal of calm on his part not to draw his sword on them as his kidnappers. The fact that they were so congenial about the whole thing is the main reason he hasn't threatened anyone. Yet.

It wasn't until after a humbling talk with the headmaster that he calmed down and really began to look at his situation. After which he began wandering Balamb Garden, feeling unusually lost in more ways than one. A king without his kingdom, his people, was nothing more than a man. The only consolation he had was Excalibur, sheathed at his side. A small comfort, but a comfort nonetheless.

So that leaves one (1) King of Camelot, in full chainmail, a bright red cape, and a crown, wandering around exploring the place. And occasionally asking questions, because displacement aside, he's not exactly up to date on the modern technology.]

[Coming out of a hallway she spots him and raises an eyebrow at the ridiculous getup that makes him stand out like a sore thumb.

So she saunters up to him, pushing her hair back over her shoulder.] Well don't you look dashing in all of... that. Do your people pride themselves on being as obvious as possible?

[oh god what is that thing. He goes still and moves his sword hand to the hilt of his sword, but doesn't draw it, but if his staring is any indication he's Not That Okay with this.]

What are you?

[His motion towards his sword doesn't bother her. It isn't like he could do her any real damage. Although, she'd certainly invite him to try.

She continues to smile and fold her arms under her chest.]

I am an Alternian troll- not one of your human fairy tale trolls! I am far more superior than something like that.

[She starts to circle him, knowing just how jumpy he appears to be.]

... You are a human, riiiiiiiight?

A troll?

[If she hadn't already pointed out she was a different kind of troll, he would have been especially incredulous- she was nothing like the sort of troll he knew.

Still, he follows her movements, turning to keep her in front of him.]

Yes, of course. As for you, Alternian or otherwise [whatever that meant], trolls are still creatures of magic.

Did I stutter?

[She stops after making a full circle around him and looks at him up and down. Her eyebrow raises again and her lips twitch.]

What does that have to do with anything? Assuming that's even correct, of course.

What do you mean, what-

[Oh wait. This isn't Camelot.

But the arrival letter implied the attitude of the people toward magic was the same here. As expected, of course.]

Don't tell me magical creatures are allowed to live here.

[Vriska has never considered her kind to be magical. The only thing she's ever considered magical was her God Tier abilities.

She snorts.] You should watch your tongue before you go and irk someone enough to cut it off. That sword of yours won't get you very far here, especially considering just how new you are.

Perhaps you should watch yours, as well.

[And she was starting to irk him, but at the same time, this wasn't his kingdom. Starting a fight unprovoked on someone else's territory wouldn't be too wise. Slowly, he let his hand drop from his sword, the closest to a truce he was planning to give her.]

What is your purpose here?

[Her smile returns again at that.

But she shrugs, uncrossing her arms.] Which answer would you like? My personal one or the one they trained me for?

[He didn't really like her smile, especially when combined with her attitude.]

Both, if you don't mind.

[No one does.]

Their purpose for me here is to fight and protect this world, but I'm just trying to fine a way back home.

[He inspects her closely, still not certain if she's being honest or hiding some ulterior motive- most likely the latter in his experience- but it wasn't as if there was much he could do if she was.]

Fair enough. But I'd better not see you causing any trouble. This may not be Camelot, but that won't stop me from protecting the people here from your kind should you harm anyone.

[That's right, he just went there.]

...

[She suddenly bursts out into high pitched laughter. She even begins to bowl over, holding her stomach as blue-tinted tears form in her eyes. After about two minutes she straightens back up and exhales, still snickering.]

Tell me, how many people do you see here wearing my uniform? [I.E. the SeeD uniform.]

[Oh great, if her smile was irritating, her laughter was downright infuriating. But he waited it out, jaw tight.

At her question, he glanced briefly over her outfit.]

Is that supposed to mean something to me?

It means two things!

[She holds up two fingers to further prove her point. Stiiiiiiiill smiling that fangy grin.]

One! It means I've been here longer than you! Which means if I was planning on terrorizing the poor, poooooooor people here I would have already done it.

And two, it means I'm a SeeD. Obviously, you don't know what that is, but really all it means to you is that I'm your superior!

[She settles her hand on her hip.] So drop that cocky bitch attitude because it means nothing to me.

[oh my god this troll girl!!!

Well okay, he vaguely remembers some mentions of SeeDs, but he doesn't really care in this case. It takes him a moment to keep his pride in check, and as such his temper.]

Regardless of your position, of anything you say, I will not trust a troll. What I told you still stands.

[She's a charmer.

She tilts her head questionably, still looking very coy.]

You've never met an Alternian troll before. What makes you think I'm anything like the trolls you know of?

[Because there's humans and then there's magic things, duh!!!]

You're clearly not human. What else could you be if not a creature of magic?

You're not very intelligent, are you?

[BC]

You don't deny it.

Just because I'm not human doesn't automatically make me a creature of magic. I'm from a completely different planet and world and where I'm from Alternia came before Earth and if it wasn't for [She quotes the air.] "magical trolls" like us you humans wouldn't have even been created!

So you really should stop flooding my ears with your drivel because you just sound like an idiot!

[He didn't really understand a lot of that. The concept of outer space wasn't really a huge one in the middle ages, unfortunately.]

That is- ridiculous. Even if it's true that you're from... some other planet, I've never met a creature capable of speech that didn't use magic, or was created from it. If you claim to be something neither human nor magic, you're going to have to explain.

[Much to her annoyance, sadly.

But she heaves a sigh and pushes some of her bangs away from her face.] If you really want an explanation I'd reeeeeeeeally rather not do it here out in a hallway.

[He turns his head slightly, eyes narrowing on her. He's not falling for that one!!!]

I'm not going anywhere alone with you. Whatever you have to say, it can be said right here.

[For fuck's sake! She crosses her arms again and frowns.] Don't act so haughty before your superior. If you can't at least truuuuuuuust me enough to not kill you off, then you might as well leave this school. I'm not the only non-human SeeD here and I won't be the last one you meet.
