To those of you with a vested interest in the fate of Michel: He is no longer a threat to the people of Chantes.

The demons and the creatures that followed were both his doing, and had he been allowed to continue, he would have been far worse than King Christophe ever thought to be.

If you are not prepared to make such decisions, I suggest you remedy that in the near future.

Well thank fuck somebody did it. Where was he?

[anti_altruisms]

[ Oh good. There's somebody out there who gets it. ]

He was in the castle. He killed King Christophe before I arrived.

and so it goes.

Were you expecting something different?

Thank you.

[anti_altruisms]

[ Things he did not expect anyone to say: that. ]

It was the logical decision.

[ Also known as, don't thank him for murder. It makes him feel awkward. ]

So he's....he's dead then. And he was the one that summoned those chimera and all.

[Of course he needed to be stopped, somehow. And he escaped when Arthur was trying to help him. But even so, Sakura can't help wishing there had been some other way.]

I don't know if I'd ever really be ready to carry that out. But I'm still trying to help where I can! I guess at the least, we should be thankful that's over.

[anti_altruisms]

[ He could say something very, very negative right now... However, he actually manages to refrain. ]

As I said- if you feel you aren't ready, now is the time to decide what you would do if you were faced with such a decision.

she rolls over and offers her commentary on his announcement:]

... Mm...

[ Imagine that.

Keeping a quiet vigil from the other side of the room, Archer sighs. After a moment, he rises and walks over to her, tugging the blanket that slipped low on his shoulders gently back into place. ]

Who dealt the blow?

[anti_altruisms]

I did.

...did you kill him or something?

[anti_altruisms]

I did.

[Looks like everyone else has already covered the 'who' and 'how' so she'll focus on the rest.]

And do you expect everyone here to be prepared to make the same decision you did?

[anti_altruisms]

No.

In fact, I'm quite certain "everyone" is not.

Even torn from the root, the will of the Beast -- the will to correct the mistakes of humanity, no matter the place, the time, or the circumstances -- prevails. It knows naught else for it can be naught else, by the very nature of its design.

As King, I judge your actions and deem them worthy. I look upon them and gauge them to be righteous and true... as well as necessary.

Well done, Servant Archer.

You are a credit to your kind.

[anti_altruisms]

[ Those are a lot of flowery words, Gilgamesh. He considers them through narrowed eyes. ]

Any other Servant or pragmatist might have done it.

[ He's not taking praise for this. He doesn't want it. ]

What happens to this place now is the responsibility of the people who live here.

[twinpeak]

[ So someone followed through with Arthur's request after all. Michel was a distant enough figure to him that Dipper doesn't feel too remorseful about the man's fate, but it still hits him that this is something their group has to do. Or already did. ]

I don't think that's something everyone can remedy so easily. Or should.

[anti_altruisms]

Not everyone "could" or "should".

This is, however, the reality of the situation. It's better to be prepared, don't you think?

[ That's about the opposite of what she wanted to hear. More than anything, she's pissed that she couldn't find an alternate solution first, and that this sets a nasty precedence. ]

What, that's it then? Just like that?? So what are we supposed to do now?

[anti_altruisms]

[ Cleaning timelines is nasty business. No one should ever think anything different, in his opinion. ]

If ALASTAIR is to be believed, our work here is done.

What happens to this place now is in the hands of the people of Chantes.

Are you the one responsible for his death?

I am.

Thank you, Archer.

You would have done the same, wouldn't you?

Pearl was still trying to wash her hands of this horrible mess. Her hands shook no matter how much she tried to quell them. But she furrows her brow as she reads over the message again.]

Were you hurt at all?

[Granted she knew what Servants were like but... surely this Michel didn't go down without a fight or struggle.]

[anti_altruisms]

[ That's why he made this post. He knows there are people here who are not prepared for the work they have been brought here to do, and they should take advantage of the time they do have to prepare. ]

My injuries were negligible.

I see you've taken care of it.

[Julius doesn't have any personal opinion on it. What needs to be done is done. ]

How did you finish off Michel?

[Swiftly or brutally? This is oddly important to him.]

[anti_altruisms]

Efficiently.

[ He's not into torture or any of that mess. ]
