[MEME] Let's Talk RC (CR Testdrive)

[missleadingquestions]

I don't really have a fitting picture for this.

G'day, Ruby City! It's time for a meme for both testdrivers and denizens.

Been itching to test out some CR but haven't had the posts to do it? Thinking of apping a character but not sure they'll fit in the city walls?

Have no fear, a meme for you is here.

Directions:

• Post with your character with their name and canon on top!


• Choose a location and prompt or wait for someone else to tag.


• If you'd like, leave contact info for people to get in contact for plotting and other such shenans.


• Tag around! Make friends. Don't be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.

Locations:

1. Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.


2. Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?


3. The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!


4. The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.


5. The Library: You came to do a little research, but it looks like all of the information's just out of your reach. Though, you can always find a way to pass the time here.


6. The Coffee Joint: Run by James Potter and Lukas, a lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.


7. Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.

Scenarios

1. Just walked in: You intended to get here, and you made your way in; but now someone's caught your eye and you'd like to have a chat.


2. Been here all day: You've been sitting around minding the time. Maybe you didn't notice them at first or maybe you were just working up the courage to talk-- either way, they know you're here and you know it too.


3. Inclimate weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?


4. Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!

Have fun, guys!

I've heard people say this place is some sort of Reality Marble, which is why it feels unnatural. Or maybe it's because the people who rule the city have more sway in the place itself than in the surroundings.

[He plops down on the bank of the lake and motions for Diarmuid to dit by him.]

But don't worry too much about it. You'll go gray.

[oathshackledbird]

A Reality Marble. Like what Rider had. I...could almost see that.

[The words are muttered mostly to himself, though Lancer can probably hear them clearly. Diarmuid settles onto the ground next to the other servant before speaking again.]

Was it Saber who described it like that to you?

[puppy_lancer]

Actually, no. It was my Master.

[oathshackledbird]

Your master has experience with Reality Marbles?

[And suddenly Diarmuid can't help but wonder where he got that experience from. Was it Rider or had there been another who he had known who had such an ability?]

[puppy_lancer]

Some theoretical experience, I guess. He never told me the details of how he came to know.

[oathshackledbird]

Of course he didn't. Even though we are suppose to be their hands in battle, so many masters seem to think we need to know nothing. Forgive me for asking. It is just that there was a servant in my war who had such a Noble Phantasm, though I didn't know that was what it was called until I asked my master about it afterward.

[Diarmuid looks over at the other servant out of the corners of his eyes.]

Considering what you have told me of his identity, I cannot help but wonder just how much of a role he had in my war after I left it. He was quiet during the first part, but it seems like that must have changed.

[puppy_lancer]

Again, I'm not sure. All I know is that Kiritsugu Emiya wished for the end of the world and then tried to kill him.

[oathshackledbird]

I may not know much about Kiritsugu Emiya other than he was Saber's master, but I would not be surprised if what your master says is true. From his actions in the war I could tell he was a driven man who cared nothing about who he hurt to reach his goal. Innocent or not was irrelevant to him.

[Diarmuid looks back out over the lake, anger shimmering in his eyes.]

He was an effective and brutal killer. Your master probably has every right to be worried. However, considering how your master tricked you, the fact that he has another servant just hanging around--especially that one--and how he is treating his wife lead me to believe that supervisor or not, he is not a good man either. Have you asked why Kiritsugu Emiya wishes him dead?

[puppy_lancer]

Well...uh...because he was the supervisor who wouldn't give Emiya the Grail?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shrugs.]

Now I am the one who has to say he doesn't know, though I can't help but wonder if there is more to it than that. Why else would your master gather not one, but two servants to him when he felt threatened?

[puppy_lancer]

He has a family. I guess he loves his wife so much that he wants me to protect her. Since Archer is a lazy bum and all.


...Even if he doesn't show it in the right way.

[oathshackledbird]

Forgive me if I find that hard to believe.

[Diarmuid raises an eyebrow at the other servant.]

Do you honestly believes he cares for her? Do remember he's basically telling you it's okay to take her against her will. What man would allow--in fact encourage--his wife to be dishonored in such a way?

[puppy_lancer]

Well...she...cares for him.

[oathshackledbird]

That...does not make things any better.

[Diarmuid turns and look out over the water, his eyes growing distant.]

If he knows she loves him and still treats her so... Her love is wasted and love should never be wasted.

[puppy_lancer]

Well, he's my Master. What do you suggest I do?

[oathshackledbird]

I don't know what you can do considering how many command spells he has. Especially since I get the impression he's not the kind of man who could easily be tricked into wasting them.

[Diarmuid sighs.]

Do you know anyone besides yourself who could maybe...talk to him?

[Punching him in the balls a few times might work too, but Diarmuid is too polite to suggest such a thing...for now.]

[puppy_lancer]

Other than his family? Uh...not really.

[oathshackledbird]

His family?

[Diarmuid gives the other servant a confused look.]

Do you mean his wife or does he have other family members here as well?

[puppy_lancer]

Just his wife. And I guess we can count his other Servant too.

[oathshackledbird]

I would count on that servant for nothing but trouble and a migraine or two if he bothers to leave you head attached to your body.

[A look of disgust crosses Diarmuid's face.]

Perhaps Saber will have the chance to put him in his place soon...

[puppy_lancer]

...I can't just sit on my ass and watch her do that, though. Not my way of doing things.

[oathshackledbird]

[He narrows his eyes at the other servant.]

Would you rather she be denied her battle or even injured because your master decided to make you interfere with all those command spells he possesses?

[puppy_lancer]

I'm a Servant. I'll have to fight her sooner or later.

[oathshackledbird]

Why?

[Diarmuid's eyes narrow further.]

There is no war here and no Grail. Why would you have to fight her?

[puppy_lancer]

Because someday we might have to stand on opposite sides. I've...already chosen a Master. Maybe she will too. And when that happens, we'll fight on their orders.

Doesn't mean I don't like and respect her, though.
