Ruby City Holy Grail War

PLOTTING POST

This is the plotting post for the Ruby City Holy Grail War event! Please use this area to partner up in master-servant pairs, and generally get some ideas flowing for the event.


Please be aware: we have exactly one master-to-servant right now, so you should be able to team up. If you haven’t found a partner by Thursday, please contact us, and we will employ the random number generator to pair you up.


The GoogleDocs Spreadsheet has all of our participants, everyone’s stats, and will be updated. When you have found your master-servant team, please contact Fel and Meg so they can add the information into the spreadsheet! This post on Waver’s journal is being used to keep an eye on threads, and will serve as an additional point to contact the mods, ask questions, etc.

uhm if by ways you mean TOTAL MANIPULATION OF THE SITUATION BY INFORMATION....then........well if you insist

[honestguy]

WOAH HEY THAT AIN'T THE WAY. you want Armin for your child-learns-to-become-master-manipulator needs.

Jean might not enjoy the manipulation at all, actually

[gordianknots]

Funny, a friend who is more familiar with SNK than I am said the exact same thing!

Waver's general approach is open information with any ally, and obscuring what's getting out to anyone who actually wants to fight and win the grail.

[honestguy]

Yep, that's the truth! Armin really looks up to Erwin, to give you an idea or where that comes from. He admires people who are able to discard their humanity for the greater good... meanwhile Jean is the opposite, and believes that people should be told what they're dying for, even if the truth... sucks, to put it simply.

ah well, that's not so bad, at least. just a matter of staying on his good side, huh....

[gordianknots]

Waver will be honest about what everyone will be dying for, that I can promise. Of course it boils down to "a cup that's supposedly omnipotent but the last two times it was used in my timeline it basically fucked up, destroyed everything, and i ended up taking it apart with a friend so it couldn't be used anymore" so.

he's kind of a dick when he wants something (to make sure no one tries to actually use the grail), i'm so sorry.

[honestguy]

Yeah, Jean will gladly get on the "let's destroy the cup" team in that case. HONESTLY THOUGH... Jean is a good soldier so he'll likely defer to his superior knowledge and all that. REALLY HE'S... used to dealing with assholes... since he is one too

[gordianknots]

I'm like pretty sure at this point 90% of destroy the cup team is "Well Meaning Assholes"

WAVER IS ALSO KIND OF CLOSE WITH HANGE SO THAT MIGHT INFLUENCE THINGS?

[honestguy]

their team motto is "we're all jerks but we mean well"

OH GOOD though jean may consider Hange to be mostly insane, he respects her rank at the very least. not like he has much choice

[gordianknots]

"we're just very stressed and snappish, we'll apologise later"

cries anything to make waver seem slightly more trustworthy

[honestguy]

"these insults are only directed at you because we know you can do better" they're those people

jean's cynicism will probably keep him from trusting waver 100% but rest assured, that's just how he is with everyone.

[gordianknots]

waver is a professor in canon this is kind of what he does when students disappoint him

waver can roll with that, he can't blame anyone for being cynical about this situation

they should be just fine, i suspect!

[honestguy]

"I'm not mad, just... disappointed."

good ol' Jean, getting along better with the adults than the kids. sounds like fun times in their future

[gordianknots]

"i know you're better and more capable than this work shows"

oh god now i have to ask how old jean is

[honestguy]

Wait for it................
















he's fifteen.

[gordianknots]

oh my god

Waver is thirty nine

and turning 40 during the event, because of how timing worked out.


SCREAMS INTO HANDS

[honestguy]

the shingekis are too young. far too young.

GOD, OLD MAN, TRY AND KEEP UP

[gordianknots]

I WAS FIGHTING IN GRAIL WARS SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, SHOW SOME RESPECT

[honestguy]

SHUT UP OLD MAN, I'M FROM A POST-APOCALYPTIC FUTURE/PAST NO ONE REALLY KNOWS.

I COULD BE OLDER THAN YOU. MAYBE.

[gordianknots]

FIRST GRAIL WAR AT AGE 19, NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT, AGE WINS HERE

[honestguy]

TITANS KILLED MY BEST FRIEND AT 15 WHAT WERE YOU DOING AT 15 HUH

the saddest part is jean would actually have this kind of conversation with someone if he was angry enough, minus the making light of death bit. he's cool half the time but nope... he's a child.

[gordianknots]

LEARNING TO REALLY HATE THE MAGICAL CLASS SYSTEM AND BUILDING UP ENOUGH ANGER AT EVERYTHING TO EVENTUALLY SUMMON ALEXANDER THE GREAT 8D

oh god let us hope that no one thinks to try and have a drinking party to try and discuss everything like rational adults like alexander the great does in /zero

[honestguy]

WELL AREN'T YOU AN OVERACHIEVER.

if only someone had such brilliant a plan, all the city's problems would be solved by now.

[gordianknots]

A BIT. YES.

or possibly the entire place would have been leveled months ago

[honestguy]

he should really, really meet armin like they sound like they have a lot in common

well you know, can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs

[gordianknots]

yeah no kidding, jeez

or without getting everyone drunk and talking about their feelings
