video 💎 un: Tohsaka Rin
[the video opens to display the... somewhat incriminating desk of one rin tohsaka. are those vials and knives? yes, those are vials and knives. a few of the vials contain weird-colored liquids but don’t think about it too much.
apparently this is no reason for a tiny cygnet not to be hopping all over everywhere, chirping happily and nibbling away at a slice of apple rin holds between chopsticks. the gray downy baby swan wears a black collar inlaid with beautiful amethysts and diamonds. lazily leaning her cheek onto her hand, she speaks.]
I’ve developed a means of repelling that godawful holiday plant and withering any sprigs of mistletoe in your immediate vicinity. Simply state clearly,
"Verkümmern, Mistel."
And they’ll die. The catalyst for the enchantment has been sprinkled all across Chantes, so the spell should work wherever you are. Just don’t say the words wrong; I can’t be held responsible for what might happen, in that case.
[r.i.p. thirst. anyway, rin reveals a strange object that those more modern-familiar in alastair will recognize as a bedazzler gun.]
Now, then.
[rin sets down the apple (much to baby swan's dismay!) and calls to the servant carrying a tea tray behind her.]
Archer.
[a tall man in black armor and a pink apron glances over his shoulder. only his back is visible.
she spins her finger, gesturing for him to turn around. he does so with a rather impressive line face. there's a sword bedazzled out of shiny silver rhinestones stuck right to the front of his apron, just at chest level. rin faces the network again.]
Can anyone tell me what this [she lifts up the bedazzler gun and frowns in disgust/confusion.] is? The designs it creates are awfully tacky.
((OOC: The mistletoe-deactivating spell words will actually work, per discussion with the mods! Feel free to do whatever you want with it. Archer may reply to some tags/threads in this post.))

Okay, that bedazzled back earns a laugh from the Gem, who covers her mouth with a gloved hand.]
Looks like you're having fun with it, whatever it is.
[She taps her chin as she addresses the vials again.]
Do you dabble in science as well?
audio... sorry, pearl
... He's all about swords. I thought something like that would suit him. [there's a small peep in the background.] It's magic, not science, but there are definitely procedures I have to follow.

I don't think I've had any trouble yet, but I'll keep it in mind! I'm sure it will help, thank you, Tohsaka-san! But...I haven't used spells like that before. What happens if someone does mess it up?
[Maybe it depends on how they mangle the pronunciation? Hard to say. Sakura can't help being a little wary all the same.]
Um, if he doesn't like that apron, I could maybe try sew a different design? I'm not as good as my dad, or Tomoyo-chan though....
voice;
[rin enunciates it again in perfect, thick german. she sounds happy. it's been a while, sakura.]
You're welcome, Kinomoto-chan, but there's no need to thank me. Just have one of your older friends say it for you if you need to get rid of some of the mistletoe. That way you won't have to worry about a thing.
[this is her way of admitting she doesn't know what will happen]
And Archer's apron is fine. I'm not sure where it came from, but maybe he projected it himself.

But alright she should pick one. Which she does in... A very antiquated form of High German, sorry, excited, too much visual and intellectual stimulation!!!]
I should hope I have gathered enough of the plant before people take advantage of your generous offer! What clever thinking to provide such a spell! What did you use as a catalyst? Ashes? Sacred water? Blood?

In our usual language, please, Sieglinde. Normally I'd say a magus shouldn't reveal her secrets, but I guess I can make an exception where you're concerned.

and then she seems to catch herself. cheeks coloring a bit in embarrassment, she hastens to carry on with the reason for this response— ]
Oh, Rin — thank you so much! [ luckily, she hasn't been caught much else after those first few days, but gosh this is so much easier on her mind now. ]
Um — c-could you say it again for me? Just so I can be sure to say it correctly!
video
It's not a problem, Olivia. I hope it will be, ah... useful to you. [smiling, she can't forget their first meeting.] Repeat it after me, would you? Let's say it slowly.
[and she does, dragging out the syllables:]

Though he's certainly more "level" than he was that day when he stepped between Rin and Gilgamesh, he still wants to kill him.
Indifference is his specialty, however, and the other will likely to continue to goad him if he maintains his silence.
Thus, he answers: ]
I was baking.

She isn't sure what to make of it, before she thinks on Archer's admission during their walk: I have no complaints about my Master. And Kida's met Rin--she was kind, and helpful. Archer needs that energy to survive, so... She'll just have to accept it, no matter how strange it might feel to an outsider peering in.
As for the apron: she's missing a few cultural indicators that this is anything strange for a man like Archer to wear, so it goes without comment. ]
I cannot help you with the--the weapon? [ Is it a weapon? (unsure) ] Did you put a collar on your dinner?
[ She means the swan. ]

Weeeeell, if they don't have a pen, a leash might be a good alternative to keepin' the meat fresh~.
[There was a squint on Ban's part as--well, as Ban made a very casual evaluation concerning eating another person's pet.]
Can't tell if it's a goose or a swan, though. Those things taste different. Swans got a sorta fishy taste~.

Alice opens her mouth to comment on the pink apron, because truly, that is a sight to behold, but she's stuck on one thing. Naturally, that one thing is the baby bird. ]
Oh, what a darling little bird!
[ Baby animals are clearly more of a priority than the mortifying plant that's been hanging around here. They're also less of an awkward topic. ]
video;
... She is darling, isn't she? Noisy and attention-stealing, but she's still so small I can't help thinking she's anything less than sweet.

[ it really is an unfortunate display... maybe gold would have made it a little less cheap looking. ] Different color would help. Silver washes out with the pink and his hair... Probably.
Is that all it does? [ As for mistletoe... It has done its damage. It can't get worse for him. ]
video;
she just stares at him for a long time, and then finally speaks up, hesitant.]
Well, I—I do have different colors. Of the rhinestones. [is this actually happening] You shoot the rhinestones out of it, and they cling onto clothing and let you make designs... Yes, that's all it does.

Nice spell. [Not that she really minds those plants. If anything, mortifying any poor souls that get stuck with her is the highlight of all these stupid festivities.]

"Verkümmern, Mistil." That's it?
[Unlike some of the recruits, he seems to get the hang of it right away. Had a far easier time with this than he did when trying to pronounce Rin's full name, that first time. But then, it sounds a lot more like something he'd know—a lot more reminiscent of the German Dungeon Gibberish they speak back in Shingekiland. Enough that he can even glean a good idea of what it actually means. (Or at least, what he thinks it does.) Though—and she can probably hear the frown in his voice—]
You sure it'll work?
voice |
That is... it. [it's simple, isn't it? so simple and easy anyone could use it.
that's sort of the point.]
Of course it will work.

what happens if a person changed "mistel" into something else?
text.
If you want to think of it that way—as "doing some magic"—be my guest. It's actually my magical energy and the spell ingredients I've put in place that are responsible. You stating that command simply activates it.
It would have no effect. What, do you want to make something else waste away?
