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.))

[ ...well, that's surprising.

For a moment, he just stares at the man. Archer isn't the most expressive individual, but he doesn't always know how to react in circumstances like these. ]


You needn't be concerned with it.

[ social link level 1 fail archer. ]

O-kay. [ his tone is dismissive, but it's technically vague what he's dismissing: the concern or the comment about being concerned. masamune wasn't exactly expecting anything else as an answer, though, either. it's just easier to yes these types than try to get one's way, especially if there's no concrete support of why one person is more right than the other. ]

[ He was going for reassuring, but that seems to have fallen flat.

Social linking isn't something he does well, but even he raises his eyebrows at that. ]


"Okay"?

[ Archer scoffs softly. ]

That doesn't seem like you.

[ oh, hey, check this out. Masamune honestly didn't even know there was a private button setting...?!

Good thing someone else knows how to do it..!!! Except, now he's sort of been called on his bluff... sort of because it's not as if he has anything particularly profound to say he just wants to throw a brat tantrum because oh. MY. gOD. Too much Kojuroisms, and Kojuro attracts the biggest creepers ever ?! Archer don't following in those footsteps too...! (He gets worried and stupid gross feelings like that.)

But, well. Guess it's time to fess up...
]

You're supposed to be the adult here! What kind of role model are you being by not taking precautions over attracting bad attention?? You said I need to avoid drawing attention to myself before, so you should be a good adult and suck it up to demonstrate to me properly!

[ . . .ok that's not exactly how he intended to play his cards here but whatever, there you have it. ]

[ You're funny when you're huffy, Masa. A flicker of a smile crosses his face, but it's very, very brief. ]

I'm afraid changing what I wear will do very little to detract 'negative attention', Masamune.

[ Especially since it already registered on a certain someone's radar. No take-backs, as they say. ]

I realize this is your way of expressing concern, but the armor and the coat I wear provide protection. It's not my aim to call attention to it; it's simply what it is.

[ And perhaps, more importantly: ]

The advice I gave you was yours to do with what you felt was right. I'm not qualified to be a role model of any kind.

[ huff huff

but it's hard to keep going when Archer just lays it all on the table like that. By the time he gets to the part about being qualified as a role model, Masamune's moment seems to have deflated, although there's no sagging of his shoulders in defeat (nor any other body language to suggest such). Instead, he just seems a little self-conscious before closing his eyes and running a hand through his hair.
]

Well, too late. I took it as a role model qualified advice session. So I'm now counting on you to get your qualifications set.

[no point commenting in the other stuff; there's nothing he can really argue there, so... ]

[ There are times that Archer can be amazingly, perhaps even brutally, straightforward. He doesn't mince words if he can help it, and he prefers the direct approach even though he isn't above deceit or subterfuge.

Still, something in his expression shifts, and their a faint chill in his gray eyes as he considers the other. ]


You will be waiting a very long time, Masamune.

[ No one should ever consider him a role model or follow in his footsteps. ]
