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.))

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.
no subject
It's very interesting. It looks like a chemistry set from earth.
He admires swords? And... his name is Archer.
video
rin tentatively switches to video. her side of the transmission is taken up mostly by the fuzzy baby held in both hands, eating the rest of the apple slice.]
Mmm, a chemistry set is what I'm using. The methods I use they wouldn't teach in Earth chemistry classes, though.
[she knows, she's been in high school.]
Is it confusing, about Archer? [please educate her, pearl.]
no subject
[At the sight of the bird, she clasps her hands over her chest, leaning in for a better look. Her blue eyes sparkle, her smile growing wider.]
How darling! What is its name?
no subject
[it can be a pain sometimes.
moving on, she peers down at the cygnet, and a gentle smile crosses her face unbidden.]
I've chosen Odette, for her. Even if I wasn't expecting her, she deserves a proud name.
locked
[To have a name given to you, what an interesting concept. It took Pearl a while to name her own avian friend.
She softly sighs. It was time to address the elephant in the room. She flicks it to private.]
I wanted to also speak to you. I know you're concerned. Many people I know are. I've seen his power first hand. I'm going to deal with this, and I have been. I do appreciate the concern, nor am I dismissing it.
locked
listening to her, she's convinced of what she's guessed about pearl all along: that she's nice enough, that she's a gem caught in an unfortunate situation. things being as they are, she wasn't expecting pearl to have to bring up gilgamesh between them.
very well. the only way the two masters really should talk like this is in private. (because archer and gilgamesh are not on good terms.)
her expression sobers into something indifferent and almost business-like immediately, but it's not unkind, simply straightforward.]
Were you interested in my help with terminating the contract...?
[might as well ask.]
Re: locked
I'm not interested in terminating the contract at all. I'm not going to rush in and use my seals immediately when they could be used for something important later.
[She looks down at her left gloved hand.]
I'm not going to run away from this. That's not what a Crystal Gem would do.
locked
All right. The offer will always be on the table.
[it's no hassle for her if pearl ends up wanting to pursue the opportunity later. she also doesn't intend to throw away her binding favor with gilgamesh anytime soon.
she leans back in her chair, crossing her legs.]
I want to say that I've been raised since birth to become a Master, Pearl. If you ever need my advice, I'm here.
Re: locked
[Pearl shrugs her shoulders with a soft sigh, rubbing at her arms.]
So far, things have been managable with him. For the most part.
locked
it's still not very... mean? rin is someone who cares but frequently encounters hiccups in showing it, and maybe that's becoming obvious.]
I'm glad to hear the good news. But do you mean to take responsibility for his behavior?
[now pearl has to become a babysitter herself]
Re: locked
[She meets her gaze squarely.]
I assume any Master would be responsible for their Servant's actions.
no subject
Yes, that's how it should be. Archer knows that if he acts out of line he's going to be scolded—or worse.
[she has to be looking right at pearl for this next part, though, and she doesn't hesitate.]
If that's the case, however, I need to talk to you about something.
no subject
Yes, Rin? What is it?
no subject
[also, she's sure pearl has the idea.]
but my Servant was angry enough to lop off his head, at the time. As I'd called Archer myself, I can't blame him.
no subject
[Pearl bristles visibly as she looks into the feed. She rubs at her temples with an irritated sigh.]
Dear stars... I'll talk to him about it.
no subject
I told you he played a role in murdering my father, didn't I? He thinks he can do whatever he wants to us, I guess. —Anyway, I'm bringing this up not to have you talk to him, but just so you would know. My Servant is more aggressive than I am, Pearl.
[that probably sounds funny to say, but it's true.]
To protect me from Gilgamesh, Archer would take the quickest route necessary. That includes attacking his Master.
no subject
But an important question comes to mind.]
...are you alright?
no subject
Huh...?
no subject
I asked if you're alright.
no subject
[it's not a lie. it's sad that she expected treatment like she received at gilgamesh's hands, but she wasn't surprised by it.
the world has been a cruel place for her for a long time.
even then, someone (besides archer) asking her if she's all right is a kindness she'll remember. rin doesn't exactly smile, but she's flustered.]
I have Archer, so of course I was fine.
no subject
I'll see what I can do.
Please, do take care of yourself, and Archer.
no subject
What I want to let you know is that Archer's been forbidden from causing harm to you at all. He gets weird ideas in his head, sometimes. If my Servant ever acts with animosity around you, I would have you contact me. I'll straighten him out—with a Command Seal, if need be.
He knows I won't hesitate.
no subject
[She offers her a small smile, and a small wave to her small baby bird.]
Do take care, Rin.
no subject
[that's the understatement of the century. odette peeps when she sees the wave.]
If there's nothing else, I'll talk to you later.
