Upon entering the room I immediately feel surprised by the size of the room. Plain white and with nothing inside I was already aware that the rest of the members needed to come inside for the test to start "Just why are they taking so long? Perhaps they feel guilty for making me feel angry and are now thinking of a way to properly apologize! hehe!" -thought Elizabeth with a grin on her face as she continued to walk further inside the room-.
"A survival mission..." I had to stop and think clearly for once, this is an important mission after all. "We are gonna be tested in different ways in this room and I have to share the space with... them..." Well, being an Idol is a hard job but I understand the importance of being a leader and Idol at the same time. I MUST be an example for them so they can become my fans! -She stopped in the middle of the room, her right hand placed on her waist and her left hand rubbing her chin as she continued to think about the situation- "Once they all get inside I'll wear my best smile and lead them all... Even if I dislike this, This is a test I cannot let myself fail... NO MATTER WHAT!" -Elizabeth's determination to succeed was showing now, all that was left for her to do is to wait for everybody and turn around to have them meet the "new" Bathory-
Alright, Let's do this! I'm sure they will love the new much just as much as my fans love me! "Guys!!!" -she yelled while waving both her hands at everyone to be noticed- "Hurry inside!!! We have a mission to do so let's do our best!!!" -followed by a big smile- With this I'm more than sure I got their love now!

Not so long after she walked inside she gets stopped by Atlas, confused but not feeling any harm in his actions she lets him do his approach. His words rather compromising made Tamamo stop past a few steps from the door while inside the room, a way to break the ice between them would definitely be key in this kind of mission where they would be locked together for days... not to mention the last time they had shared together was barely an afternoon only.
Tamamo didn't have a chance at the time to show her gratitude to Atlas about the tip with EMIYA, she would think of a way of doing so during the mission or after it finished. She turned around and watched him leave reaching for Nero, maybe those two had some history together? whichever the case the one person in her eyes right now was once again EMIYA who would approach her once more with words that melted her inside. Her tail wagged from side to side excited and helplessly as she replied to his words "S-shirou! Thanks for the compliment... You look good too!" Tamamo smiled for a moment and then answered his question "I have never camped before, It's been an experience that I wish to try but I feel very well connected with the environment and the nature!".
"huh?" Her head turned over to Elizabeth who was yelling at everybody to get inside the room, Tamamo was already inside but EMIYA wasn't so she decided that it was a great idea to give him a hand. "Here Shirou, let's go! We don't want to make our 'leader' wait ~" Tamamo smiled as she held onto EMIYA's left arm, pulling him with her inside the room, just the chance she was waiting for to take advantage once again.

This girl recognized him. Atlas couldn't believe it. This was a historic moment for Atlas. People were failing to recognize the trident, and it was pretty much the only one of its kind. He could think of maybe two or three other in all mythology of the world, and none of them had the sea theme that his father's did. The fact that she knew of him, and considered him a great ruler was phenomenal. Everyone had been a total ass, and he'd for the most part taken it in stride, not wanting to go too overboard. This girl was going to sleep in Atlantis. There was no way such a wonderful person would sleep on the cold, hard ground! He completely forbade it! Still, Atlas was pulled back to reality for a moment just long enough to see Emiya greet the woman. Nero, apparently. Apparently Emiya recognized this woman, the Roman Emperor Nero. He stored that bit of information away for now. Especially due to the unique circumstances of it. Still, right now, the Roman Emperor had his full attention. "I would be absolutely delighted to. It's rare I get to meet someone so interested." No one cared. Atlas had participated in the hugest fucking war this side of Ragnarok, and absolutely no one cared. He loved not being bothered sure. But there were times that maybe, just maybe... a little interest would have been appreciated. Really, Atlas was actually quite thrilled with it. There was an almost childlike, excited smile on his lips, an appearance that would have terrified anyone accustomed to his usual deadpan nature. "How about later tonight I can tell you anything you wish to know. Whether it's about the Titanomachy, my imprisonment and release by Heracles, or even my brief ride on the Argo." He'd try to avoid the fall of Atlantis if possible. That was a sore spot. "So let's not keep them waiting any longer." And with that, he went into the room, and it would be readily apparent that he was in a much better mood. tags: liz , Tamamo , emiya , Nero notes: ack his heart

Seeing Tamamo as happy as she was made it hard to begrudge the position I had fallen into. If a bit of inconvenience could make someone that happy...well, I had long since forgiven the fox-girl for the insanity she had done under the influence of whatever curse affected her. I still have a slight concern that it's the other way around, that my presence was a restricting factor and she was more naturally like the way she was when I had encountered her...but that just made my presence by her side almost a duty. I had undertaken something similar previously...and that had simply seemed to fade away. He wasn't quite sure whether he'd be fine with the same thing happening again.
"You're welcome, and thank you as well." I return the polite gesture back to her. Her explanation, though, worries me slightly. "You've never been camping? That might be troublesome...." She did seem to enjoy fancy clothes and delicate, house-related amenities...he wasn't aware of what supplies they'd receive, but it was unlikely that without tents he could provide more than a basic lean-to for her. "I wish I'd known, I could have helped you prepare a bit, for at least what to expect." He'd brought some supplies with him that he'd thought to purchase beforehand, a single tent and sleeping bag being the main things. No one else seemed as prepared. "It should be fine, though."
Atlas, by some miracle, had left him be after that flick, enjoying the company of the Roman emperor. In fact, he seemed to be in a good mood, a first he'd seen in his time in Chaldea. It wasn't a concern to me...if something was keeping him occupied, that was more than enough. I can't spare any time to observe and eavesdrop, as Tamamo grabs my arm, dragging me inside the room. "Ah...Sure." I respond, rather untroubled despite being pulled. "I'm sorry, I got a bit lost in thought..." Soon enough I'm in the center of the virtualization chamber. Nodding to the dragon-tailed girl, I look around a bit. "Well, I believe me and Tamamo are ready. Whenever you are, I believe we can begin.

"Umu! Very well, later tonight it is! I will look forward to hearing all these glorious tales!" Nero agreed heartily. The others of their group, even as oddly familiar as they all seemed, were now practically forgotten to her. Religion was one thing she did not care for, but mythology was fascinating. Now those were some romantic stories! Of course, these were all stories she had known before, but to hear them from one that was actually there! No doubt it would be many times more enjoyable. Regardless, despite having more or less... invited herself on this mission, the Roman Emperor had neglected to bring much anything with her in terms of supplies; pretty much just her usual gaudy garb. Camping was a bit of a new experience for her, after all.
Following alongside the much taller blonde, maybe a little too closely, through the portal, they both entered the virtualization chamber. A surprisingly... empty one.
"Huh? It is so empty! This does not look like a camping location..." Nero stated curiously, glancing around in all directions.

I can see the entrance behind my 4 team mates closing, the empty room that surround us now quickly taking the shape of a wild random environment already set by Chaldea's finest computers. The empty and bright room now took the shape of a forest, given by the looks of it as I turn around we seem to be really deep into it and attempting to walk further away from the group would only probably end up in getting lost in it. Before an Heroic Spirit, I am an Idol and camping is not really my thing... Even in life I was from the royalty, living like this for two straight days would really be a challenge but luckily for me there were two reliable men that would surely help me out!
"Ehem!" -She cleared her throat while trying to grab everyone's attention- "Guys, I know presentations at this point might not be necessary but as your leader I will do it one more time!" As many times as its needed I will let everyone know my name! "I am Elizabeth Bathory and I really don't know anything about camping in the outside..." Being honest and not being ashamed of it is also part of being an Idol, I'm sure I got them already! "However, I will make sure to watch over all of you and help you all if I really need to! so... how about we start?" -Elizabeth wore her biggest smile for this speech, she didn't really know what to do or how to lead them but at least acting like a cheerleader should do-

EMIYA was acting so kind and caring that Tamamo could barely believe it, had her natural charms have some effect on him? The time to think about it was short. As soon as they entered the big room everything around them changed. Seems that Chaldea's first level was a forest and what a place to favor Tamamo than a place she is very familiar with.
"Thanks for worrying about me Shirou" Said Tamamo while hugging his arm tightly, her head leaning on his shoulder and her voice lowering so he was the only one able to listen, her left hand helping on covering her mouth to avoid people peeking "You know, Even though this is my first time camping I am very familiar with forests... We could find a good place away from any danger and stay there for the time being..." Tamamo leaned closer to him just to make sure her suggestions got through "Besides, if it's only us I'm sure we won't be bothered... As for the rest, they will be fine together~"
Now there was only one more thing left to do for Tamamo...
"You don't really change do you? Elizabeth" Said Tamamo with a sarcastic voice, teasing Bathory was only a hobby that she was starting to get used to. "Everyone, Leader, I will explore the area around us, I'm pretty sure it will be faster and safer if EMIYA comes with me" Her plan was almost ready from here. "We will be back later, if we don't then don't worry about us, we are all Heroic Spirits after all and we will be fine~" She now started to walk away from the group, hoping that EMIYA would follow from behind her "Good luck everyone, see you later ~!". With those last words, she passed by EMIYA giving him a wink with her left eye and continuing walking past him deep into the forest leaving only a sweet flowery scent from her perfume behind.

And now they were here, and in a forest. Okay whatever, that didn't really matter to him anyway. The "team leader" decided to give orders and then ask about how they were to go about getting everything together. Atlas, frankly, did not care. Pulling a crystal out of his vest, he looked at the dragon girl. "You can start with getting things together. The Emperor and I shall camp in my palace." He remarked, tossing it on the ground before beginning a swift chant in the tongue of the gods. "Το σπίτι της ψυχής μου, το σπίτι του λαού μου, καλώ εμπρός την βυθισμένη πόλη, Atlantis!"And just like that, it started summoning the palace. A large, brilliant crystalline structure that gleamed like a polished diamond in the sun. While it was summoning, Atlas turned to see Tamamo walking away, beckoning Emiya to follow. Good enough, but still, Atlas pointed a finger at him. "You are not allowed. Considering it was you who sunk the damn city and murdered my people the last time you were there, you are forever banished from Atlantis. Also Tamamo's aiming to have her way with you." Admittedly, part of that was to see how Nero would react to that bit of news. Either way Emiya wouldn't be in his hair, he knew that much. Still, if they were all going to split up, then there was no reason as to why he couldn't maybe move things up a bit earlier. With the palace summoned, Atlas waved his hand, opening the gate briefly. "Now then, shall we?" He extended his arm for Nero to take. He'd make sure to shut the gate behind him so the dragon girl couldn't get in. Besides, it was his palace, he could do whatever he wanted with it! But it would nice to be inside the palace, with all the comforts that came with it. tags: liz , Tamamo , emiya , Nero notes: you losers rough it

As the visualization of a forest forms around me, I'm more than a little impressed at the accuracy of the representation. Regardless of this being Chaldea's purpose, it's hard to imagine a virtual landscape so realistic. I take in the sights, sounds, and smells, and they accurately reflect a deciduous forest common to the southern and middle areas of Europe. This introspection is broken as Tamamo gives my arm a squeeze, thanking me and wondering if I'd be willing to take a trip with her. "I suppose that could be fine." Her knowledge of forests make sense, both on her stories as well as her nature as a fox spirit, so I don't doubt her. And finding a place where I won't be bothered sounds very convincing...
Our leader then professes her inexperience, and I nod. "That's fine, there's nothing wrong with lacking experience. I'm sure I could help you when we get back later. Camping isn't so hard, as long as you're not expecting fluffy mattresses and the like." Tamamo's additional interjection makes that seem like it might end up a hollow promise...as if she was intending us not to return for the foreseeable future.
I had almost forgotten about Atlas' presence by this point, when he goes and rectifies that by summoning an entire crystalline palace in the middle of a forest they were supposed to be camping out in. Atlantis...the home of the Gemma Crystallum, and the civilization he was forced to help genocide. Memories threaten to well back up, but they're shut behind iron doors forged from time and experience...those memories served no useful purpose. His statement seemed both obvious and somewhat infantile, but I can't reject the deep pain behind them. "That's fine, I don't expect any better treatment from you." As I turn away, I sigh. "For what it's worth, I'm sorry. I never wished to hurt anyone in Atlantis, though I don't expect you'll believe that." His little jab at the end was even more pointless than what came before.
Turning quickly back to Liz, I drop off some food I had gathered in preparation. "I'm sorry about leaving you behind, but I really should catch up with her. Hopefully this should be enough to keep you together until we get back." With that, I run off to catch up with Tamamo, trying not to make my delay seem long.

"So Chaldea even has this kind of chamber here as well!" Nero watched in awe as the forest materialized from nowhere, drastically changing their surroundings in a mere moment.Like a curious child, she pat her foot against the soil, then proceeded to poke at one of the trees, going so far as to even sniff it. "This is impressive! I wonder what other kinds of places they can create!"
She was so lost in her curiosity, pretty much all of Liz's ranting and Tamamo's banter went one ear and out the other. This 'virtual construction' looked and felt so real, the self-proclaimed artist couldn't help but be intrigued. Or at least until a bright, flashy light tore her attention away. Though blinded for a second, once the glare had cleared yet another amazing thing had manifested itself before her.
"OHHHHH! IS THIS ATLANTIS!?" Nero shouted excitedly, her eyes practically sparkling as she gazed upon the impressive crystalline structure. Truly the gods were on a completely different level. There was no way any human could sculpt such a pristine structure. There was no envy or sense of inferiority however. Even the greatest of humans (like her) couldn't even begin to compete with the gods. Nearly hopping up and down, she shuffled right up to Atlas, gazing at him with practically begging eyes, she demanded, "I must see inside!"
However, Atlas's comment not to her, but to EMIYA was quite shocking. "EHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?" the red-clad Saber's eyes shot over to the man's direction as she pointed incredulously. "HE'S THE ONE THAT SUNK IT!? I DON'T REMEMBER ANY STORIES OF A ROMAN GOD NAMED EMIYA!"
It's true he looked familiar, but there was no way she could forget the name of a mythological figure like that, especially one who supposedly destroyed Atlantis. It was amazing Atlas was so... civil with him. Most gods she knew of would rampage after a person like that. If she were in his place, say if he was the one than burned down Rome, she'd being trying to slice his head off! Rather than simply accept Atlas's hand, she grabbed his sleeve with both hands and tugged at it anxiously, looking at him with teary puppy eyes. "YOU MUST TELL ME THE STORY OF THIS!"
