…Yo. Guess who’s popping in, to let folks know they’re not dead. It’s me. Uhhh, the long and the short of it is that I decided to take a bit of a break from RP in order to recharge. Needless to say, I’ve been away for a while. Kinda hoping to come back to things shortly though. Probably within the week? Sorry for vanishing, but we’ll be back to business as usual soon enough. Or at very least, that’s my hope. I hope you’ve all been well!

“…That so?” Mary tilted her head, at the former warlord’s sudden confession. “Can’t say I expected to hear that from you, of all people, Nobunaga. You’re usually the stubborn type, aren’t you? Or the determined type, at least…”

She shrugged her shoulders, uncertain of what to say beyond offering her blunt appraisal. She couldn’t claim any familiarity with such a problem herself. No… For her, the way forward had always been quite clear.

“Mm… Can’t really say I relate, either… Dunno that my goals have ever changed, so to speak. Maybe there’s more to fight for, and more to protect, but aside from that… Well. I think I’m just about the same person I’ve always been. Life was too short and fragile for holding onto regrets to be worth it. ‘Unlife’ isn’t that different.”

“Huh…” A look of modest surprised passed the normally stoic woman’s face, as the blue-clad Lancer brought his lips to the back of her hand; though even so, her voice maintained it’s even, and neutral, tone. “How gentlemanly…”

“Dunno why you’re coming up to me like that, though. You should know by now that simple charms and lip service aren’t gonna win me over. And besides, wouldn’t you rather dance with - I dunno - just about anyone else? Anne might be busy, but surely there’s other girls you could ask…”

Surely it was so… and yet… he had come to her. For whatever reason that was, she couldn’t even begin to imagine. She was far from the prettiest woman in attendance that evening, and a bonafide wallflower to boot where such formal occasions were concerned… So… Why?

Mary sighed, as she slowly shook her head.

“Whatever… At the very least, I guess I can respect your guts…” She reached out, to firmly grasp Cu’s hand. “I’ll give you one song, but I’m taking the lead. I don’t believe for even a minute that you know how to waltz…”

        ❝… subtlety is not exactly your forte, is it?❞ unsurprising, really.

“Well... Maybe not by your standards. Though, if we’re judging by the sort of metric a pirate might use, I like to think I’m reasonably tame. You won’t catch me lighting my hair on fire, or wailing like a banshee... Ah, and unnecessary death is a no-no too...” Anne shrugged. “Still... I suppose you have some thoughts of your own? You’re not the sort who’d speak up, otherwise.”

Heyo everyone. The holiday season is well upon us, and while my motivation to write has been in a bit of a slump lately I’d still like to do something to celebrate the festivities, and give thanks to all the people who have continued to stick by me. I do believe that presents are in order…

To that end… Like this post for a little something special from me to you! It might be a promo banner, an aesthetic graphic, or possibly a drabble.

An early Merry Christmas, and a belated Happy Hanukkah to all!

“Heh, an invitation, of course~ We only live once, gotta make the most of it, don’t you agree? Who doesn’t like a woman that is a little dangerous.” As familiar as Rider acts so does Lancer, slouching a little and placing a hand on her shoulder. “I won’t judge if you won’t.”

“Well... I’m not so sure that people like us can still cling to the idea of ‘only living once’, but it’s true enough that a life that’s free of regrets is the only sort of life worth living...”

“To that end, I could see myself dying happily tomorrow, if I spent some quality time with good company today...”  She smiled playfully. “To be open-minded... To love danger... Both of these things make a man quite good as far as I’m concerned. The only thing I’d still want to see is whether or not you’re just all talk...”

Happy merry! Santa is here to give you both hawaii shirts!

“And they even match! How lovely!” Anne gushed, as she proudly held her present up towards the light. 

It was a brightly colored floral print shirt, made from a fine fabric she couldn’t quite recognize. Not quite silk, but surely something similar considering how glossy and slick to the touch it was. A little different from her normal look, barring some minor modifications, but still quite nice! Besides… Anything was fine if it meant matching Mary…

“Consider our vote for Chaldea’s Best Santa all yours!”

Mary, for her part, seemed to hesitate, as she appraised the shirt which sat before her. Given the former Emperor’s love of more extravagant and revealing outfits, it was earnestly something of a surprise to be given something so plain. She half expected to find a sheer section somewhere, or a hidden zipper…

Thankfully, there didn’t appear to be anything of the sort.

“Not quite my style, but… Mm. It’s surprisingly considerate considering your normal taste in clothing.” It was an unnecessarily blunt appraisal of a gift which had been given in good faith. Perhaps it was for this reason that she hesitated before continuing. “Ah, maybe that’s a little mean to say… What I mean is… Thanks much, ‘Miss Santa’…”

✪▐░▒ No matter how many times he and Abel are summoned to fight, it always felt funny to Cain that his powers are much stronger, in fact SUPERHUMAN compared to his living self. To an oblivious person who is unaware of the world of magecraft, the pilots of the Reliant may as well appear like ordinary human males. Yet, when they enter combat, they are bestowed with skills which make any living creature, especially a human who is completely unaware of magecraft, creatures so fragile as if they could be crushed easily by the fist of a hand.

As the reaper-like wraiths screeched in agony and dissipated, Cain blew off the smoke coming from the barrel of his pistol before turning his attention to the fellow Rider class servant. ❝ —Easily crushed like some bugs. I guess that is what we get for being servants,❞

Fear... Or more specifically, fear of death... Why let something like that slow you down? Why let it dominate you? It was something that Mary had never much understood, despite the years she had spent fighting alongside comrades who had been consumed by it. 

They had thought her mad, to charge so eagerly into the fray. They had seen a death wish reflected in her bright, blue eyes, as in her brilliant smile - a smile ill shown but on the field of battle. How, they asked, could she so willingly gamble something that should have been so precious?

“You’re always gonna die.” She had replied. “No matter what you do, everyone dies eventually. But if I die out there, I’ll die without regrets. If someone can kill me, they’ll have given me the best fight of my life.”

“Mm. No kidding...” She whistled appreciatively, at her fellow Servant’s marksmanship. “Though... It’s kinda disappointing, innit? When something’s this easy, there’s just no thrill.”

And if there was no thrill... it all felt a little hollow. Lazy, almost. Antithetical, certainly, for someone who had lived her life ever eager for a good fight. 

“Been a while since we last had a decent challenge...”

“Why hello there, Lord Augustus! Fancy running into you here!” Anne smiled sweetly, despite the fact that that they had very openly accosted him as he made his way down the hall. “Might I say that you’re looking rather handsome today? More handsome than usual, if such a thing is possible!”

“Is that a new lorca smegtiara?” Mary inquired, puffing her chest out with pride at her ‘mastery’ of Latin - something she was sure would impress the former emperor. “It’s a nice look...”

“You wouldn’t be the first insane woman that came after me.”

“Oh? But is that a warning, or an invitation? I really can’t tell...” Anne stifled a quick laugh, as she sidled up beside the blue-clad Lancer. “Regardless, I hope you won’t really judge me so soon. There’s nothing to say that you and I won’t get along just fine...”

“You charmer… I bet you tell that to all the girls…” Anne chuckled to herself, as she politely waved her hand.

“But really... you do exactly that, don’t you?” Mary shook her head.
