Indeed, if Adventure has a name, it's...

[Benny is dressed in a parka and trousers and furry boots. The resort wear of the Ice Warrior loving archaeologist. She has a pile of luggage around her currently that she is rooting through]

Where the bloody hell did you go? I know it’s in here somewhere, don’t worry? Oh, come on.

[Braxiatel is already packed, one gloved hand on the suitcase he is leaning against, the other holding a panama hat, and an unamused expression settled on his lips.] Bernice. You should have given it to me when I asked for it.

I said I knew where it was. And you know I’d find it a hell of a lot faster if you weren’t looking at me like that. [and she goes back to rooting around]

Oh, forgive me, Professor Summerfield. I’ll just stand here and admire Lyra, shall I? Vega looks lovely tonight.

Thank you.

[Benny goes back to looking through her bag and this starts playing somewhere]

Aha!

[Benny pulls out The Holy Bloody Grail and holds it up over her head, victorious.]

[With a click of a button, the music stops.] That belongs in a museum. Mine, precisely. Please hand it over now. Losing the same historical artefact twice in one day would look bad on your CV.

[Benny ignores Brax, examining the inside the Grail, before reaching her hand in and pulling something out. She places a bag of marbles in Brax’s hand and holds onto the Grail] I think those are yours.

[Braxiatel accepts the bag with no change in expression.] The Holy Grail, Professor Summerfield.

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

...Is that...The Grail?

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is the Holy Grail. Well done, Irving.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Oh! You recognize it! Brax wants to use it for his marble collection, but I'm sure there would be better uses.

[The Doctor just happens to be out for a stroll with new kitten when he spots Benny and Brax. He stops, debating once again whether or not he actually wants to approach them.

On the one hand, they have the Holy Bloody Grail, and that is very tempting. On the other, he has no idea if either of them has any idea about death number two, and he really doesn't feel like sitting through another lecture if they do. So, he opts for swanning off. Of course, this obviously means someone should stop him. :|b]

It's a Holy Grail. The one from our universe. Only good for keeping you from ageing and healing all wounds, I'm afraid.

[He makes it sound so blasé.]

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is...not the one that would grant a Servant's desire, but I am--No, I am not surprised that the two of you have found it.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

There's another Holy Grail?

[collector]

[Like Hell Brax is going to chase after him. He has, however, been gifted with a voice that naturally carries.] How fortunate that it has healing properties. It may even save a few people who are repeatedly fatally stupid.

[ooc: Nine -> Brax -> Benny]

[collector]

Is there any particular reason you're not inclined to give it to me?

[collector]

I'll leave that to Caster to explain. [He seems pleased with himself.] It will add to the set nicely. It can replace the Seal of Solomon in my Collection.

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

Many. The purpose of my existence is to fight to seize the Grail. It can grant any wish, but both a Master and Servant are needed to seize it, as well as other conditions.

{She pauses to look at the Grail thoughtfully} May I hold it?

[oliverplus]

[his jaw has dropped] Is that the--with marbles in it?

[anoblesavage.livejournal.com]

[Leela recognises that voice. She recognises that voice and she can't help but feel curious. The other speaker must be the companion he had spoken of.]

... Braxiatel?

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

[Benny casually turns it over in her hands] Brax insisted he needed something for holding his marbles. Of course, the only thing that would do was the Holy Grail. He's very demanding.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

[Benny has still failed to notice the Doctor, as she is caught up in Stuff] Was that a threat?

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

What sort of other conditions?

[she looks down at the Grail, and hands it over, but doesn't quite let go] You can't pull any of that Master business and hand it off to Brax once you've finished looking.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Let's see. Perhaps because I found it during my holiday, so by all rights it's mine.

[collector]

Because Heavens forbid I touch what's going to end up on my desk in a few hours.

[collector]

I see you've forgotten to read your contract again. Ah, well. It will be a shame to have to arrest you, but as you know, I make sure the cells on the Collection are comfortable.

[collector]

I wanted something that would look like the cup of a carpenter. Jesus was simply the first carpenter that came to mind.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Arrest me for what? Holding onto my own private, personal property?

[collector]

[And Braxiatel warms into a smile when Leela speaks.]

Leela. I hope today finds you well? But I need to do introductions. Benny, this is Leela of the Sevateem, Presidential bodyguard to Romana. Leela, this is Professor Bernice Summerfield, my Head of Archaeology.

[And in the wide, open, welcoming gesture of introduction, Braxiatel quietly plucks the Grail out of Benny's hands and tucks it into his suitcase.]

[ooc: Leela -> Brax -> Benny]

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

[Benny opens her mouth to greet Leela, but is distracted by this outrageous theft. She marches over towards Brax's bag]

What the hell do you think you're blood doing? [she stops mid-march to take Leela's hand and shake it, smiling pleasantly] Lovely to meet you, and Benny is fine. [and back to her current quest, recovering her Grail] You'll bloody well hand that back over, Irving Braxiatel.

[collector]

I think you'll find that it's Braxiatel Collection property. Under section twelve, paragraph ten. You really need to get around to reading that contract.
