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.))

[The vials are a little concerning, as well as the knives... wow. But then she sees Archer on the feed. So, that was her Servant. It only made sense.

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?

Verkummern, Mistel.....?

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....

[There are... So many things she wants to address here. Nice desk, very clean and well kept! Finally, someone besides Sebastian who speaks German! What a lovely collar on that swan- where did that swan even come from? What was that gun? No, don't let them kill all the mistletoe, she wants it for experiments! How very nice to have such a dashing magical servant close at hand-

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?

She is my Master.

[ He expects that statement will not satisfy so he elaborates- ]

I was summoned by her in a previous war and chose to contract with her again upon arriving here.

[ Normally, at this point, he would simply let the matter go, but instead, he switches the feed to a private line. Servitude rankles, after all, and Koltira is maybe one of the few who truly understands just how much. ]

Speak your mind, death knight.

If you have an issue with this arrangement, say so.

You told me that your service was tantamount to slavery.
anti_altruisms: (Remember what you fought for.)

[personal profile] anti_altruisms 2016-01-07 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
In essence, yes. The role of a Heroic Spirit is to serve humanity -- some more so than others.

[ However- ]

I obey Rin, but I do not consider myself her slave.
respired: and it sets you free (if you search your soul)

[personal profile] respired 2016-01-07 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
What are you, then?
anti_altruisms: (Shame on you.)

[personal profile] anti_altruisms 2016-01-07 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Heroic Spirits are fundamentally non-corporeal beings. We cannot survive without the energy of a mage to sustain us unless we wish to prey on others.

Rin is someone I knew from a previous life. Though she appears abrasive and demanding, she offered me a contract out of kindness, knowing it would be difficult for me to maintain a presence here otherwise.

I had betrayed and abandoned her to pursue a different cause, but she was willing to offer it to me anyway, knowing who I used to be.

[ Something he still doesn't think he deserves but appreciates, anyway. ]

I do not enjoy servitude, but I can think of no one else I would rather be contracted to.

It's very interesting. It looks like a chemistry set from earth.

He admires swords? And... his name is Archer.

Ah, maybe. I guess it would take some practice. That's....hm, German, right? Or, it sounds like it.

[Still, hopefully those who she might tend to meet in person are aware of this. Have more practice and experience with other languages. Sakura herself only knows Japanese, with still learning some English back home.]

Pro..projected? He can do that?

[Does she want to imagine Tomoyo with such a power.......?!]
