[Introspection]
[Well, this was a weird way to start the day. When Bedivere had gone to sleep, he was in Chaldea. The next thing he knew, he was sitting on a moving bus. And that wasn't the end of it, oh no.
To make a long story short, he's spent the past hour or so being introduced to his new home here in town. Apparently the small farm he's standing on right now belongs to him, or so he's told. He's got a run-down house, the remains of a greenhouse, a cluttered field, a set of old tools, and a bag of radish seeds. But most importantly, he knows that he can go home any time he wishes and none will be the wiser.
And that last bit got him thinking. When was the last time he was truly able to make an earnest living? He's spent so long traveling and fighting for humanity that he's almost forgotten what it's like to remain in one place and live in peace. Perhaps, just perhaps, this is something he needs right now. And if it isn't, then he can just return to Chaldea and things will go back to normal.
And he's not alone. Other people seem to be in the same boat. Might as well see about meeting some.]

[The video feed shows a young-looking, handsome man, wearing what appears to be armor on his upper body.]
Hello, everyone. I saw people were introducing themselves, and thought I should probably join them.
My name is Bedivere.
[He'd normally be more cautious about giving out his true name, but he's curious to see how many people will make the connection to the King Arthur mythos. Plus this place is supposed to be peaceful.]
I happen to be one of our newest arrivals, and have just been shown to where I will be living. I must admit, I had no expectations of having to do farm work when I awoke this morning!
[He smiles after making that remark. It feels so quaint to him to end up farming.]
But I have faith I can do a good job. I'm afraid I only have a few radish seeds now, but hopefully I can start selling vegetables to the town soon enough.
Feel free to contact me at any time, either in person or online. I look forward to meeting new faces.
[With that, the feed ends.]
[Action]
[After making his broadcast, Bedivere gets to work. He has to clean off a patch of land in order to plant his seeds, so he pulls out his axe, pickaxe, and sickle and gets to work cutting up grass and weeds, cutting down trees, and breaking apart rocks.
Once he's cleared a decently-sized portion of land, he stops. Really, he could clear the entire parcel of land in one go if he wanted to, but it's probably better to do it step-by-step. Instead, he gets his hoe, watering can, and seeds, and starts to till the ground and plant the radish seeds.
There are two things notable about Bedivere during all of this. The first is that, despite the hot summer sun bearing down on him the entire time, Bedivere is working in the very same armor he arrived in. He has shed no part of it in order to work. The second is that his right arm is clearly artificial, looking at the designs on the forearm and the joints. It also appears to be made of pure silver.
Anyone is free to approach him at any point as he works.]

Action
Today wouldn't have been any different, had it not been for the sudden presence tugging within him. He heads towards the source instead until he's fully out of the brush, stopping only in his tracks to keep some distance. Friend or foe? He doesn't seem dangerous, but one never knows.]
Who...?
Re: Action
Unlike Asterios, though, Bedivere is able to recognize the other Servant. He hasn't spoken with him much in his time in Chaldea, but he's seen him around. He also notices that Asterios seems cautious. Which means he doesn't recognize him. What that means, Bedivere can only guess.]
Ah...you're Asterios, correct?
[He sets down the pickaxe he was using, leaving his hands empty.]
My name is Bedivere. I am not your foe.
no subject
[His eyes light up somewhat. Even if he hasn't spoken to him, the fact that he knows his name means a whole lot.]
Nice...to meet...you. [His stance relaxes as he comes closer.] Need...help?
no subject
[Bedivere can think of a few reasons why Asterios wouldn't recognize him. Parallel worlds is just one that he's all too familiar with.]
Ah. It, um, wouldn't keep you from anything you need to do, would it?
no subject
Which is. Not a thought Asterios really dwells on any longer, honestly.]
No. It is...fine. I...have time. Can move...heavy stuff.
no subject
Hmm...all right. I don't need the whole parcel of land cleared; I just want enough to have room to plant, and some room around the house. So, if you could take care of the rocks and the logs to the side of the house, I would greatly appreciate it.
[He's already made a little bit of progress in front of the house. The side, though, hasn't been touched, and there is all kinds of debris over there.]
no subject
[And there he goes! It's not hard move them, what with having Berserker strength and all; he clears the debris away in a few minutes and comes back to him.]
Anything...else?
no subject
[Bedivere's surprised, but he knows he shouldn't be. Not only is Asterios a Berserker, he has the Monstrous Strength skill.]
Um...nothing comes to mind. Thank you for your help.
[Wait, no. He has an idea.]
Actually, would you be willing to show me where you're staying? That way we can both find each other if we need some help with something.
no subject
[Give him a moment as he tries to find a stick and figure out where to draw so he doesn't disturb Bedivere's work; eventually, there's a small patch a few feet away and he begins to draw. Once he's finished, he steps back to show a...really intricate and detailed map showing the way to his house with little markings to a couple of landmarks and all.]
...here. Not that...far.
no subject
That's incredibly impressive, and it catches Bedivere totally off-guard.]
Oh! That's...that's a very good map. I'm impressed.
[He crouches down to get a better look.]
...OK. So I can get there by going this way, and there are some landmarks...all right.
[With that done, he stands back to full height.]
Thank you, Asterios. You've been a good help.
