futurology | 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.))

...Yeah, okay. This is fine.. This can be about me. [ he guess...es... ]

[ 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. ]

...Waiting is a part of life. I learned that as the head of Oushuu pretty early on. But if you think you can out stubborn me, think again and give it up already.

[ Archer scoffs. ]

You're a very foolish man, Date Masamune.

Sure am. Maybe I'll regret it but in the meantime—

Deal with it.

You shouldn't make promises you might not be able to keep.

That's not possible. Any promise not kept by a dragon is out of decision not inability.

I'll expect it, then.

I'll expect you to expect it or kick your ass for lying to me.

[ Oho. Those are fighting words, Masamune. ]

I'd like to see you try.

[ you servants man!! ]

I would say to you I'll do my best but being okay with just 'trying' isn't my style. Which means clear your planner when it happens.

[ someone more stubborn than your younger self in this type of thing, yes.

but apparently also really easy to provoke. dragons man. ]

[ Look, they're fighting machines. What do you want from him? ]

I'll make a note.

By the way, your wife is really hardc

By the way, your wife needs your attention. [ she's pointing jewel toy guns at dragons ;;;; ]

[ ...Masa, really? The flattest stare. ]

She's not my wife.

[ and yet you knew exactly who he was talking about! Which is totally acceptable to him. smile archer it only gets worse frm here. ]

Yeah, yeah. Let's do this again sometime. I gotta go do important things for now. [ it's a lie there is nothing more important than harassing archer on today's agenda. Or the rest of his stay in Chantes. probably. ]

[ Shut up, Masa, there's no one else you could have been talking about.

He scoffs. ]

Of course, you do.
