"Rin-chaaaaaan~!!" The god is hanging upside down from a tree, but does he care? nope !!
@believinghxpe ┊ god can defy gravity ?
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆FAMILIAR sound of voice caused the female mage to pause at her reading, wondering where that came from. she was on the second floor of her mansion, and there was no one in the room, but that sound was way too close to be coming from downstairs... thoughts that ran through her mind as she got up and turned around--
--that was when she was met with the upside down god on the tree at her window.
“ !!! ” weird noise of surprise found itself from her lips as she rushed to the window in speed of light, holding onto the sill and leaning forward to the friendly god who probably thought he was a gymnast or something. jesus christ !
“ t-tsuki-san ! that’s dangerous ! what are you doing up there on the tree !? and why are you upside down !? oh god, what if you fall !? it’s not SAFE ! please come down ! ” and she didn’t know if she should be reaching out to him to have him move to the window or just... wait for him to climb down the tree and meet him downstairs. how does one suppose to react in this situation !?
@justicemakers ┊ kindness ? duty ?
‘ do you need help carrying those miss ? ‘ DO GOOD —– that’s the hero motto. even without the mask, oliver feels compelled to help those who need it. IT FEELS GOOD, to be reminded that you are just & right & that every good deed done is sewing the seeds for favors to be returned. is a reminder to others that you’re worthy of love & deserve it because you are KIND & HELPFUL.
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆THE sudden voice caught the mage off guard. the weight of hardcover spell books were causing her to struggle a little. most of them she had to deliver to the library, but to receive an offer of assistance was of surprise. “ --oh. sorry. i must really look like i’m struggling, huh ? ” kindness from a random stranger wasn’t something she expected. the heir pushed off one of her bags from her shoulder, canting her head towards the person hesitantly.
“ are you sure ? you’re not heading somewhere ? i wouldn’t want to bother if you have somewhere you must be. ”
deathbucksmaster:
He continues wiping, and actually thinking since Death City due to its name really isn’t that populated, but also its death rate despite the sheer amount of weapons and meisters were rather high.
“Are you certain? The death rate is rather high in this city due to its criminal elements. But if you need it , I know the safer places of this city.”
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆“ YES, i’m aware. but there’s something i must do here. if you could list some of those safer places to stay, it’d help me greatly. ” disclosing what she was to do in this town didn’t sound like a good idea, nor she thought it would interest him. who knows ? maybe it might. but if he didn’t ask, she had no reasons to tell.
“ i take it that you’ve been in this city for quite some time ? ”
incompetxnce:
{♔} “Ihihi~! It’s more difficult than you’d think.” Battler started. “You’re more lucky if you aren’t able to pick these people out, because that means you haven’t been hurt by someone like that, or at least not experience a constant pain…. I was part of a witch’s game. Lies, murder, betrayal I had to watch it all… After so much I kinda just developed an eye for these types of people.” Although it sounded like many of these witches caused the sorcerer trouble he held no resentment towards them. Now that his endless torture was over he saw every ruthless tactic they used against him as nothing more than the game. Many people criticized the sorcerer for being too soft, but he was just a forgiving person.
“Telling apart truth from lies is already a great talent itself. If you want to explore the cruelest depths of someone though, and pick out those monstrous traits, you’ll have to experience hell itself for something like that. It’s not something I’d recommend… I’m surprised I survived with my ass intact.” The sorcerer let out another jovial chuckle and smiled warmly towards the other. “I’m Battler Ushiromiya, nice to meet ya!” {♔}
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆MORE lucky ? wouldn’t it be something useful to have, however ? that ability to tell apart real messed up person who lies for a living and those who only does it occasionally. his words gained her attention so forcefully. watch it all ? what sort of game was this man playing ?
“ what sort of situation were you in, i wonder. you seem like someone who had seen and experienced hell itself. it baffles me how you can still smile so freely. if a normal person was to be forced to witness such things, i’d believe they’d lose their mind or sanity itself. ” hopefully she didn’t offend him that way. nonetheless, she developed a sense of respect for him. to be so calm, so collected even when talking about that. “ it’s a pleasure, ushiromiya-san. that’s rather a mouthful. would battler-san do ? ” formality was intact with each and every syllable leaving her lips.
“ my name is tohsaka rin. i’m actually searching for something. an artifact. do you think you could lend a hand for a fellow magus ? ” it was no secret he was a magus, or a sorcerer. she didn’t think she could hide her mana from him either, so why bother concealing the obvious ?

“Were I to treat you as a normal person I would have attacked you already.” Cú grins, dropping the dull end on the ground and leaning against his spear as he leers down at her.
“Archer not around? So— who is gonna protect you now from the Big Bad Enemy Servant, eh?” Empty threats that mean nothing, he has no desire or order to attack the master except to pester her now that her loser of a Servant isn’t around.
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆SHE hated it when he was right. however, that didn’t stop the female from being cautious nonetheless. lancer’s objective had remained unknown from the start. a step backward was taken, eyes of ocean not taking itself off him.
“ what do you want, lancer ? you’re right. you could’ve attacked me right off the bat. but you didn’t. so why is that ? ” it might be futile to try determining what he was up to, but provoking him into a fight wasn’t wise either. intentionally not answering his question, she countered with one of her own, at least just to see what he wanted out of her. and if he really was an enemy as he called himself.
deathbucksmaster:
“A few students take part time. But its just me most of the time here.” But in the name of money a lot of students enter, come and go from this cafe and its amazing how many kids would get motivated for the simple fact of money. A sign that says now hiring is outside, dull and overly used.
“If you want to, you can work here. I just need to see some id verse.” Clean, clean, wipe.
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆WHAT ? that escalated quicker than she expected. a hand lifted to wave before her. “ ah, no. i’m not looking for a job, but.. err.. that’s nice of you to offer. ” did she look like someone who needed a part time job ? maybe. she must’ve appeared a normal high school student to him. no surprise there. “ does it get busy here that you need to hire more people ? ” she didn’t mean it as an insult, of course, just pure curiosity.
“ but i am looking for a place to stay in-town. if you have any recommendation, that’d be great. ”
Oi little girl, feed me
@riastradd ┊ what are you, a stray dog ?
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆“ LANCER... why are you asking me for food now ? where’s your master ? does he or she leave you to starve ? ” she’s going to ignore the way he called her. also, no, she wouldn’t mind giving him something to eat, but the mage also couldn’t just feed him without having something to say about it. she also contemplated telling him that his behavior made him sound like a dog, which suited his name well.
“ anyway, what do you want to eat ? ” she’d humor him for now. for now. unless it’s something super expensive, then no.

@alaesolis
“Haven’t you ever wanted to escape? To leave this place & explore the world?” There was a brief pause, the brunet shrugging slightly, face blank, before continuing. “…Heh, sorry. That was a pretty random question. Just something I’ve been thinking about lately; just feeling trapped with being in the same place all the time. you know?”
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆ESCAPE ? this person sure posed an interesting question. the mage might not seemed like someone who’s harbor such a thought to herself, but she had gone through something far worse that shaped her mindset into that of more than just average teenage girl.
“ no need to apologize. and if it makes you feel better, i used to feel that way a few years ago. ” when the war itself had her trapped in an never-ending loop for the whole decade. but it was nice to know that she wasn’t the only one who got bored of the routine life most humans have. “ i’m away from where i was now, but i understand how it felt. does that mean you have something holding you here ? ”
caliburnus:
✞ Truces are solely artificial symbols of attachment and pity. Pity on behalf of Shirou, graced by both Rin and herself, as both acknowledged his incompetence as the sole perpetrator for the cause. Should his luck not have fluctuated with the unheralded summoning, they would not be presently cooperating. Yet, time allotted for an encouraging revelation that despite the seasoned facade of maturity, Archer’s Master is still… a virgin of war. “A heavy question is on your mind, Rin.” For what cause? “It is unlike you to ask me of such things.” Suspicions lingered on Shirou’s absence as the motivator, and instincts further persuaded her against the policy of honesty for he would certainly be angered, however…
Averting it is fruitless.
“It is.” Bambi-eyed innocence and an accelerated heart rate maneuver the first slaughter, syndromes that fade when given repeated exposure. “But to imply that an act of that nature becomes easier is also false. The impact of taking a life will never change, and it is one that is large every time you do so. As a Master, it is ideal that you allow us as Servants to commit the acts. We are accustomed to it. But I wonder, would you feel the weight of a life that is lost, even if it was not directly stolen by your own hands?”
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆HEAVY question ? perhaps it was, yet, the mage herself felt that the query shouldn’t had been said or asked to anyone. certainly not to someone who had gone to war more than once. certainly not to someone who is considered as enemy’s servant despite the temporary truce. but unlike her to ask ? again, perhaps it was so. who else was she going to ask that from ? archer ? he’d berate her for her naivety. they were in a war. it’s do or die. kill or be killed. was that even a question, she wondered.
“ the weight of life that’s lost. of course you would, wouldn’t you ? ” wasn’t exactly a question to counter, but more on the fact that she should’ve that engraved into that brilliant mind of hers already. eyes turned away from the saber, the woman king, fallen down to her own hands that clenched and unclenched absentmindedly. “ regardless of who did the killing, it was you who gave the order. but perhaps the guilt will be less. i don’t know that myself. ”
“ even so. ” release of a sigh from her lips served as a distraction to her own thoughts, to no avail. “ how do you do it ? ” now, that was the inquiry that she wanted to ask. “ how do you convince yourself that taking others’ lives is just ? that your cause worth more than their lives ? ”
I understand that nobody understands me, but I can’t be someone I’m not.

“Tell me this.” The demon said, immediately turning to the first person he saw. “How can there be so much going on in this world all of the time, and yet everyone is still bored?”
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆INTERESTING question coming from a stranger. the mage produced a thoughtful hum, but the reply came not too long. it wasn’t any surprise. “ because they aren’t involved in what’s going on, perhaps. ” voice neutral, for she had seen many normal humans complaining that their days were uneventful.
“ either that, or they are unaware of things that were going on around them. if you’re not involved, then you’d be left out and in turn, bored of routine life everyday, no ? ” she paused, leaving the silence hanging for a moment or two. “ so which party are you ? the involved, or the bored ? ”
deathbucksmaster:
The question is why would she even want to talk to a old man like himself who’s in his mid thirties. Shouldn’t she have friends her own age by now, she certainly looked well do and well stocked up. Her beauty enhancing her friendly attitude -if she had one, beauty was a misnomer here-
“Alright.”
And its served within minutes, croissant first. And than drink.
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆BEING a mage means that she lives in a whole different world than others, and being too close with someone would only pull them into the world of danger she was living in. isolating herself from people had been what she was used to, being alone as well. seated herself down, cerulean hues glanced around the place curiously.
“ a nice place you have here. ” let’s start with a small talk, then. testing the water if he would humor her with a conversation. “ you’re running this place by yourself ? ”
crimsonflameofsoul.
(狼) Thoughtfulness rolled up his eyes, as if the sky could help him to look into the cobweb of her question. There were more than one of them, thus, it was already a group, and the family had its hierarchy and they all worked together so… “Our pack can represent some sort of an organization, but in general we are independent.” He gave a confident nod then agreeing with his own conclusion and clapped his hands to raise a wave of the air that blew the attire of his companion through. It wouldn’t be good for her to have her beautiful skirt all covered in dust. The trick was quick, but it brought a playful line of satisfaction to his lips and fluffy joyful liberty to his lupine tail that fell out humbly from his trousers.
“And you shouldn’t apologize. I was born like this!” He wiggled it. Slightly. Still not sure if she accepted him. Or he would remain foreign to her like to most people they lived among. ”Though I don’t think your words would please Papa.” He shook her hand warmly. “It’s nice to meet you, Rin-san! And how about you? Are you on your own?”
“I’d like to ask the same question”. The voice, colder, rougher, richer resonated in the darkness before its shadows stepped aside to nuzzle, like a pet, against the form of a man with the eyes of deep blue that plunged into the reason of the incident with fine firmness. “What is the spell you’ve used?”
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆PACK ? he referred to himself as a chimera, however, his behavior almost resembled a full lupine specie that he represented in his nature. a sound of surprise escaped her lips at the wind, but a rather impressive show of his power and a small chuckle fell from her lips. a friendly one, it seemed, he was. mouth parted, only to jolt at the sudden deeper tone of voice penetrated the air.
“ that’s-- ” aquatic gaze shifted to follow where the voice originated from, and the darkness behind her formed up another figure. this papa of the young chimera was what the mage speculated him to be. his aura was much thicker than the younger one, even she had to pause for a moment, intimidated just by his appearance alone. what a powerful figure. even her instincts were telling her to tread carefully with this one.
“ i don’t mind telling you the details. i owe both of you for the assistance, but here isn’t a place for our conversation. ” despite being young, she was cautious and their surrounding left all of them exposed to any incoming attacks should another wave of enemies decided to make themselves known.
“ is there a safe place nearby ? i’ll tell you all you need to know. ”
Pokes her with the dull end of Gáe Bolg
@riastradd ┊ is this how a servant greet a person now ?
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆“ LANCER ! that’s not a way to get someone’s attention ! ” voice raised with aquamarine orbs darted over her shoulder to the blue lancer, recognizing that coldness of metallic spear he possessed to be what he used in getting her to notice his presence. brows knotted, a hand placed to her hips as she puffed up her cheeks at him, childishly so.
“ can’t you greet me like a normal person ? and what do you want now ? ”

“Lulu, I’m going to be home a little later tonight again. I’m heading over to the cafe. Yes yes, I know. But, you should come over some time. Their coffee is very good. Have you tried their carrot cakes yet? They’re delicious!”
( VOICE OF ELEGANCE ), yet excited demeanor was directed onto the younger Akemi on the other line. ( PHONE ) pressed between his shoulders and ears, as hands were fixing the hem of his sleeves. His blue jacket went well together with the ( light ) blue shirt revealed in between the fabric. The ( golden ) pin in his hair kept the side of his strands up, giving him a look that spoke of ( ELEGANCE ) and some designs for his looks.
Once again, Tsuki was off on a little ( ADVENTURE ) over to the famous cafe just not too far from his home. ( AN ONGOING CYCLE ), that will never cease its path of endless repetition. Day by day, night after night, there was ( NO ) chance in the very history of his family will he ever stop going to the same cafe over and over again. And since he’s been around these parts ( COUNTLESS ) times, many people that passed by knew him very well.
Some of polite greetings, friendly waves, and ( AFFECTIONATE ) gestures came by like a train. Even if Tsuki would never set foot down this path, many people would still recognize him. The elder heir to the Akemi Family. Through generations and generations, his family has been engraved in the very ( HISTORY ) books of time. It was a very well known family, full of ( RICHES, LOVE, HELP ) and with the mansion of the Akemi Family smack down in the ( middle ) of town, one of little knowledge of the Akemi Family easily states that they have never been in this town before.
But, ( ENOUGH ) about Tsuki. His very reason for being here was to spend some quality time in the cafe. The second he stepped in through the door, the familiar and ( DELIGHTED ) ring of the bells caught many of the baristas’ and waiters’/waitresses’ attention. Many gave him a nod, accepting his ( PRESENCE ) in the building as others greeted with a ( WELCOME, TSUKI! ) He chuckled, giving all of them a friendly wave before returning his attention on the phone for a few last moments.
“Bye, Lulu. I’ll call you back.”
And with that, he ( HUNG UP ) the phone, settling it down in his pockets. He passed by the bar with his ( SIGNATURE ) smile, noticing some new employees before taking a seat. ( JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY. )
( OR PERHAPS NOT. )
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆“ SO you’re finally going to confess ? right ? was that why you changed your shift ? ” the sound coming from the female barista to another seemed to have the young female jolt at her spot and almost dropping the glass she was cleaning. eyes of azure quickly turned towards the speaker, cheeks rushed in a clear hint of red with a thumping of her heart resounded in her chest.
“ T-THAT’S NOT IT !! i just have classes during afternoon, so that’s why i asked to change my shift to nighttime ! ” certainly, while her words held proper logic and reasoning, that teasing look from her coworker didn’t help one bit. the student was feeling her face heating up, snatching the menu from the other and quickly turning her heels to make sure she was dressed proper before taking her shift for the night.
tying the apron at her back, the brunette gave a final check of her attire before emerging from the back and into the cafe itself. she couldn’t help shooting a glare at her friend, who certainly didn’t appear to be convinced with her reasons of changing her time of work from morning to afternoon itself.
and that was when the bells at the door made a sound, and familiar name was being called as a greet by other waiters. goodness, it’s him.
the female paused immediately, recognizing him in a heartbeat while one of her coworker also did as well. most of them were already aware of this on-going crush she had on this particular regular of theirs, but nothing more than just a few glances were spared between them and she had never gotten a chance to serve him before. damn the different time.
which was why a friend of hers simply placed the menu into her hands, then giving a light push to her back in nudge for her to get his order. goddamn. how was she going to even talk to him proper ?
“ god-- i can’t do this. could you just- go get his order, i’ll handle it. ” and with a slightly redder face, she slipped behind the counter and watched from afar as another waitress went to his table to ask for his order.
deathbucksmaster:
“Coffee.” But decidedly it was anything because he did sell a bit of everything due to his experiences when he was younger where he could go anywhere he pleased. Much like Death itself he was affixed to the town with little chances of going anywhere outside now. More of his personality than anything else at the moment.
there was the menu written in chalk above him, if you want. He made it to avoid unnecessary talks.
♦ ⦕ ☪ ⦖ ━┆MAN of few words, it seemed, not that the mage minded so much. she did have a few questions of her own regarding this town itself, but figured it’d be best to ask another time. feet took her closer, head canted to the side and royal blue orbs scanned the menu behind him. a soft hum emitting from the back of her throat.
“ an ice latte then. and a croissant if you have them ? ” she didn’t exactly see the latter part on the menu, so it was her trying her luck at her favorite pastry. now, how was she going to strike a proper conversation to a man who doesn’t appear to like to talk much ? that’s the question.
