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. )

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?

[fullmoonmutt]

Uhh... wait, let me think...

[ And do some counting on his fingers, mouthing numbers to himself. ]

...if it was that long ago, then... 2018.

[goei]

... What the hell year is it now fer you if that's a long time ago? It was 2022 where I was.

[fullmoonmutt]

2037.

[ ...Eli's from the future. Just. Just not Izou's future. ]

[goei]

Yer probably fine then. The one's we're dealin with have gone way off the rails fer way longer than a few decades! The one that was the least fucked up had been in a worldwide super blizzard fer like 400 years.

[fullmoonmutt]

A blizzard for 400 years?! Wh... what?! For real?! What was that like?!

[ Suddenly excited to hear about these other worlds. So long as his isn't on the chopping block, hey, why not? ]

[goei]

Dunno, I got summoned right after they got back, so I just know what Fujimaru told me. Apparently it was like sub zero temperatures and everyone had been turned into wolf people to survive?

[fullmoonmutt]

A whole world of... wolf people? You're serious?

[goei]

That's what she said. Except fer the guy in charge was a mammoth guy apparently?

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Blank stare. ]

A... what? Is that like a... mammary... so, like, a... a giant boob guy?
