post palace takeout! [week 5]

[beathollow]

( at some point a bedraggled lot in yukatas manage to make their way to the dorm, shower and patch themselves up. and then mafuyu makes a very earnest request that they all go out for dinner, and, well, apparently many struggle to refuse her.

this is how they find themselves in something akin to a denny's or an ihop at like, midnight.




as one does. )

Normally, you need a grail war ta summon servants, and even then you can only summon seven, one of each class.

But Chaldea's got some sorta unique magecraft that lets 'em summon way more, whenever they want.

[fullmoonmutt]

A what war? Huh?

[goei]

Grail war. Seven masters and seven servants fight each other. Winner gets the grail, which is like... this cup fulla mana that can grant any wish.

[fullmoonmutt]

Whoa... wishing cup... Have you fought in one?

[goei]

... Think so? Because of how the summonin' works or whatever, s'hard ta remember clearly the other times I got summoned.

[It's because the throne of heroes exists outside of time and space, so they aren't experiencing the chronological passing of time between the instances of them being summoned. But there's no chance Izou would understand that.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Eli would get angry if anyone tried explaining how that works, so it's fine. Way too confusing. ]

Wait a second. You can get summoned by any old mage and you don't even get to remember all the times?

[goei]

[Yeah see they communicate on the same level.]

I got like. Vague senses of it? Just as well, most of the time I don't get ta fight how I want anyway since I always get summoned as Assassin.

[fullmoonmutt]

As...? [ Oh, right. He was an assassin, after all. ] That means you want to be summoned as something else instead?

[goei]

Saber, obviously!
[Him and his SWORD GENIUS SKILLS!!!]

... But I guess I'm not a strong enough heroic spirit fer that.

[fullmoonmutt]

You don't even get a say?! Can't you get stronger? You got a sword. You should be a Saber, right?!

[goei]

That's what I'm sayin!! That's why I told Fujimaru my class' Manslayer, but she just calls me Okada-san cause there's a whole mess of Assassin class servants in Chaldea anyway.

[fullmoonmutt]

Manslayer is just another way of calling yourself an assassin, though? If you don't want to get called one, stop calling yourself one?!

[goei]

S'Different. Anyone can be a killer, doesn't take a genius ta assassinate someone. But there's just four of us Manslayers, and we all got unmatched skills with a sword.

[fullmoonmutt]

...so it's a special name. Tch, still sounds awful. Like someone calling me Maneater just because of what I am or something.

[goei]

... You eatin' people?

[HE DID SAY HE CAME FROM THE END OF THE WORLD, BUT....]

[fullmoonmutt]

No! People just assume it!

[ He isn't a cannibal!!! ]

[goei]

[Funnier in the wake of the werewolf reveal.]

Weird thing to assume. But I guess people jump to all sorts of conclusions when it's people they don't like.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Super funny. ]

...yeah, they really do.

[goei]

How come it's the end of the world where you're at, anyway?

[fullmoonmutt]

Eh?

[ Oh, phew. Topic change. ]

Like... fifteen or so years ago, Earth got invaded by a shit ton of demons. If a country ain't entirely wrecked, then it's overrun, so, end of the world. We're clawing our way back, though.

[goei]

Jeez. Sounds like somethin' that'd happen in one of the Lostbelts.

[Looking Eli over.]

Explains why yer so goddamn resilient I guess.

[fullmoonmutt]

Of course. You got to be tough as hell to survive what I've survived!

[ also he's a freakin' werewolf but look izou learns that later ]

The fuck is a Lostbelts, though?

[goei]

S'like... A timeline that's gone so far off the rails from the main one that normally Alaya'd prune it, but because of the idiots who're current causin' us problems, they ain't. So we gotta go and do it ourselves.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Prune it... prune it... prune... it... ]

Wh... hey, don't prune my timeline if I'm in one of those!

[goei]

What year was it when everything went to shit in yours?
