!IMPORTANT! video; username: 82736775

[The video is from everyone's favorite camera-shy mad scientist, 82736775. This time, he's not even present in a carefully-framed way; he appears to just be using his jewellery as a Go-Pro.

The view is a large machine in the middle of the woods. It's crudely constructed, with loud, grinding gears and exhaust tubes belching smoke. There are three figures scurrying about -- Dipper, Shiki, and Hide, for those of you who would recognize them -- pulling levers and turning cranks and struggling to hear each other over the machine's groaning. Jars of fairy goop hang off the thing like lanterns in a coal mine.]


Listen uuuup, bitcheesss!

[The view jerks, then readjusts as the sky comes into focus.]

Thanks to my genius and everybody else's scrappy, can-do attitude, we're about to make scientific history. By which I mean w-we're about to blow this bullshit away.

[His hand enters the frame. He is flipping off the sky.]

Engage Operation: Fuck You, Magic!

[The frame stays centered on the sky, though the machine's groaning reaches almost deafening levels. Above the cacophony, there's a high-pitched whining: something is warming up. All over Chantes, the ground shakes.

Then bright green fills the screen and everything is so loud that it's almost silent. Those of you who are at a distance may see a gigantic green beam shooting into the sky just before everything turns bright white for a few long seconds.

And suddenly, there is light. Stars. Two moons. The sky is back.

82736775 is laughing maniacally. He swings the frame around to the giant machine, which has blasted wide open: smoking panels have fallen to the ground, exposing frayed wires. His assistants are also on the ground, looking dazed.]


Suck my dick, Narnia! Haha, yeah!

Now let's figure out what to do and get the hell off this rock! Team science, ouuuut!

[ ooc. IMPORTANT! the sun is now returned. from this point on, there are normal day-night cycles in chantes! be aware there are two moons, and the sun rises in the west. use this post to discuss what to do now! threadjacking encouraged. thank you to my fellow players and our modteam for making this plot so successful! i love you all.

UPDATE! check this thread for conversation on a peaceful option. ]

... That's enough for me. Even if he tried to attack you or Archer, you would be strong against it. And your magic resistance is off the charts.

If it is a matter of magic then I am confident any spells cast against me would have no effect.

[demons are on an entirely different level, though.]

It goes without saying that if Michel loses control again or runs free, you Servants are our best bet.

[sadly, that does include all of the servants.

gil among them, although if he helped anyone it'd be out of his own selfishness.]


I'm sure you can handle anything he has to throw at us single-handed, Saber. Or you could, if—

[you had a master.

she doesn't say it out loud, at least?]
invisiblade: (pay me what you owe me)

[WOW NOPE TOO LATE. she picks up on that less than subtle insinuation and her eyes narrow as a result, displeased.]

If what, Rin.

[sorry there's no way they're not getting into this now.]

Finish your statement.

[SHE WANTS TO HEAR HER SAY IT TO HER FACE.]
defenceless: (tiptap)

i forgot i wrote this tag and now i'm just laughing

[bring it, saber.]

You could if you had a Master.

[the fact of the matter is, Rin is the third person to nag her about this matter in a relatively short period of time. it's beginning to strike a nerve with her, which is why her mood suddenly seems to sour.]

With all due respect; howsoever I choose to go about my business is none of your concern.

[aka MIND UR OWN BEEZWAX RIN.

she doesn't need someone pointing out that she's far less capable on her own than she would be if she'd contracted. she knows that already, and for a legendary hero who is accustomed to standing on her own two feet and accomplishing great miracles on her strength alone, it's damaging to her pride to be told repeatedly that she's incapable of succeeding by herself.]


I am not so weak that I cannot function on my own without a Master to aid me in this quest.
defenceless: (leaning back arms folded)

[that's exactly the point, though. it has nothing to do with saber's peerless strength and everything to do with the constraints placed on her as a servant. rin could puff up and retort with anger herself, but she feels she's justified in her statement and so she only flips her hair, crossing her arms, and says nothing more about it.]

Yeah, yeah. Whatever, whatever. Look, it's meaningless because Archer and I won't let you fend for yourself.

Understood. I appreciate your support, and know that I will do the same for you both, should the need arise.

[she bites her tongue on all the rest of it, she's not looking to get into an argument about it. it's a rather sensitive subject, so the less they dwell on it the better. it's bad enough she's got Gilgamesh breathing down her neck about it. she's a big girl, she can make her own decisions. so if choosing not to contract is what she feels will work best for the time being, then that's precisely what she's going to do.

she wants to be sure of her choice, she won't allow herself to feel rushed.]
