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.))

( such a shame, it's a lost opportunity for some light teasing. )

Hah, feel free! I've got a couple other phrases if you're interested. May as well keep you entertained while I try and find some of this stuff.

All right. It certainly is, minstrels are way more annoying no matter how cursed the mistletoe may happen to be.

A great loss, I suppose.

[ a little hint of recognition flashes across his face. ]

Oh, yes. Them. [ well, to be fair. he didn't know there were two, just one. but he can pretend he knew there were two. ] They get excited over everything.

[ oh yeah he used to do that all that all the time when he was a teenager. He still does it sometimes.

...but man her question does put favor on Gilgamesh's previous claims. What a thing to wrap his mind around. But, whatever, that's later when he feels like punishing himself.

The thing is Masamune chooses only to answer her last question, although why isn't clear. It could be because he is and expects that no words need to confirm rather only deny. ...Or vice versa. We just don't know.

It's also possible he is simply distracted by her last question that is supported to be more a presumption than as he seems a bit surprised.

No, anything can be a weapon in the right hands. [ he pauses before he scoffs, his alert interest seeming to fade out. It's like an excited kid that misinterpreted and just received the sad clarification they were totally wrong and excited for nothing. Disappointment is the worst..!! Especially in this dumb place. It leads to ... boredom on his part. :( ]

That toy as is would be more of a weapon now in my hands than you'll ever manage to change it into in yours, you know? But, choice of weapon type usually suggests certain traits about them and other things that have nothing to do with actually being a weapon, right?

I mean, someone who prefers close-range style versus long range or even weaponry made to snipe or simply be used as a shield to avoid hurting any party only the bare minimum required.

[ aka he's performing scan profiling via a toy... or trying to anyway but teenage girls --even smart ones apparently-- gotta make everything more difficult than necessary. ]

Oh gosh... I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't — I might just make things worse..!

[ Or a lot of things. ]

And to use it so irresponsibly! He's very immature, I know. But what can you do! Brothers, right?

I didn't say the plants, I said the magic. Sage. Water. Salt. You can get rid of a magic spell without just adding to the problem.

I'm trying to go in that direction, yeah. I mean, there's been some mild research in cancer and invoking an immune system reaction to attack the cancer cells. Intentionally making someone sick might be a bad idea but having their body react like they're sick....you might be able to jump forward medical science pretty heftily like that.

[ yeah, it's pretty stupid and non-sequitur, right? that's the point he's trying to make.

their presents don't—wait a sec.
