{The man that appears on the Plane is no ordinary man. The first thing that you would likely notice is just how big of a person he is--seven feet tall, at least, and muscular from head to toe. The second thing would be his clothing. It's unmistakably Greek ancient armor and clothing.

But enough about that.

Because this very large person has just been pulled from one battle into what he thinks is another. But, surprisingly, he crosses his arms with a hearty laugh}

Ha! I wouldn't expect you to be so quick, Caster! But this is more to my liking! You decided not to bring Saber or Archer, or even my Master, so we can have a true battle, face to face!

{And he waits...but no Caster. So instead he looks around }

The setting could use some work, though. So, with a realm like this, who are you really, Caster? Aurvandil, perhaps? I could respect a Norse warrior, but this battle is already won!

{...and still nothing. So Rider uncrosses his arms to scratch his head}

Hm, perhaps this is a more unique Noble Phantasm than I thought. I don't even feel any prana here. Well, then! Come out, any who may be here! Certainly there are those who lay wait in this odd darkness!

[his first thought....Maxie would get along with this man very well...or maybe not at all....hmmm....]

Do you always expect to find enemies lurking in the darkness?

[which really isn't SO odd a thing, really. Well it isn't where he's from anyway]

[Great. Greece is following him.]

[Shion is being reminded of a Saint he knows] You were not brought here by an enemy.

[oh my god he's tall]

Whoever you think is responsible for this, they aren't. Promise.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Not always! But after coming from such a battle, I would nearly expect it.

{He looks down at him, though, rubbing his chin} But it seems that there is little challenge to be had, if any.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Come, then! There is no need to hide in a false darkness. I will gladly meet my enemies!

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Then what? This certainly seems like a magus's enchantment.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

I suppose I am to be relieved by that? What of you, girl? May I ask what kind of person speaks to me?

[lamb_of_gold]

I am neither hiding nor your enemy.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

It is not, as far as I am aware. This is the Astral Plane, and I have been told it is an experiment of sorts.

[excuse me, 7'0" man, but you did NOT just call Martha 'girl']

It's Martha. Martha Jones. And you're talking to the sort of person who doesn't like to be called 'girl.'

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Ha! Then if you are not an enemy, who are you?

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

An experiment? Such odd things that people come up with! What sort of experiment would you mean?

[lamb_of_gold]

I am Mu, a servant of Athena. [Given how this guy's dressed, that hopefully rings a few bells.]

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Hou? Excuse me then, Miss Martha Jones!

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Of Athena herself! I doubt that she's pleased with me, but it's a pleasure despite. I am servant to no one but myself, but I am Alexander the third of Macedon.

[lamb_of_gold]

Alexander the Great?

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

One of my many names! Quite an honor to bestowed the title of "great", and I certainly won't complain for it.

[lamb_of_gold]

History smiles upon you.

It is a pleasure to meet you as well.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Then what is this odd place? I thought I had been summoned to fight another hero, yet it seems I've been disappointed by no more than a...I think he called it a "reality marble"? Though this appears harmless!

[lamb_of_gold]

This is the Astral Plane. It is a place that exists outside of reality as we know it, and ties to the realities of hundreds of others. This place is, in and of itself harmless enough, but those who supervise it use us as the unwilling pawns in a grand experiment.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

And has no one contested these supervisors?

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[--you are a very agreeable giant! it cuts the wind out of Martha's growing irritation, so now she'll use that last burst to ask his name]

And you are?

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

None other than Alexander the third of Macedon! Alexander the Great, King of Conquerors!

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

....you're kidding.
