[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.

[bejeweled]

Well . . .

[bejeweled]

. . . yeah, you're right.

[thevineintervention]

[smiles]

I'm Aerta Ferham.

[bejeweled]

Tohsaka Rin. It's really good to meet you, Aerta.

[thevineintervention]

Well met as well, Tohsaka.

[bejeweled]

Any tips for settling in?

[thevineintervention]

You'll want to find somewhere to stay before evening falls. Many apartments have open rooms, if not spare beds. You can speak with the gods at their shrines to see to amenities.

[bejeweled]

. . .Ah! Right, everything has to come from them . . .

[thevineintervention]

Mm. You'll find little by way of resources out there.

[bejeweled]

Oh -- and if you don't mind . . . where can I find you later? I don't know if I'll need it, but I can't really ask for your cell number . . .
