Comments

[thevineintervention]

That was quite energetic! I do think I'm impressed.

[bejeweled]

[ slight startle, but she recovers and grins ]

Sometimes you just need to punch him in the face.

[thevineintervention]

I shall make note of that!

[bejeweled]

You two . . . [ can't be friends, Gilgamesh doesn't do friends, doesn't seem like a hanger-on, maybe. . . maybe . . . :x ] . . . are acquainted?

[thevineintervention]

[WE ARE TOTALLY BESTIES]

We are! But I imagine you do as well, unless he really did make an impression that quickly.

[bejeweled]

I. [ huff ] We have a kind of complicated history.

[thevineintervention]

Goodness. I hope nothing sordid.

[bejeweled]

[ kbjadf ]

I'm not that kind of — not like — . . . it's not sordid!

[thevineintervention]

Well, that's nice to know.

[bejeweled]

. . . how do you know him?

[thevineintervention]

I think . . . this is the answer you're looking for. [Shows the back of her hand with a flowery command spell]

[bejeweled]

— oh! You're his new Master.

[ somewhat suspiciously, as if she doesn't trust Archer to share ] Did he tell you what those are for?

[thevineintervention]

. . . it's for something?

[bejeweled]

[ EXASPERATION ]

I knew it. I guess it's a little unusual to have someone who isn't a magi as a master but it's happened before . . . and you must have some kind of magical talent, right?

Anyway! It's a command spell, there are only three of them so you can't waste them. But you can force him to do something if you need to. He'll probably hate it, but . . . it's his special skill, too, not needing a master or not obeying one.

Also if he's already doing something you can sort of . . . give him a boost with one. . . like if you need him to be somewhere and he's already heading there, using the command spell will make him go faster.

[thevineintervention]

A mage? Aaah, Lacertan's don't really use magic that way, no, but I am a healer.


So . . . It's an order? And if it's along his will already it can push the limits of his strength? That seems simple enough!

[bejeweled]

Oh! That's great! I tried healing magic once . . . [ a bit of a shrug ] it isn't my strength.

Pretty much! Usually Servants get called during a Grail War, so the command spells are pretty useful but . . . [ :|a looks around . . . ] This seems to be a pretty weird circumstance to begin with.

[thevineintervention]

It is a war, but not the one you hailed from.

[bejeweled]

[ shakes her head a little ]

The grail war . . . it's not really a 'war'. People just selfishly pursue after something . . . it's only meant to have seven participants too, can that really be a war?

[thevineintervention]

I wouldn't really know.

[bejeweled]

What's this war for, then? If you know . . .

[thevineintervention]

The rest of the world allied together and extinguished humanity. The gods wish us to fight back and repopulate this place.

((SORRY THAT TYPO WAS TOO DUMB TO LET STAND))

[bejeweled]

. . .

[ unsure how I feel about that . . . ]

So. . . their side already lost . . .

[thevineintervention]

So it would seem.

[bejeweled]

Getting pulled into the losing side's war isn't my style, really. But when you're alive there's only one thing to do, right.

[thevineintervention]

There's lots of things to do when you're alive.
