Delightful, he actually remembered. Death was rather pleased, as most would not bother to commit any of his pseudonyms to memory. At least, that was when they knew his true identity.

“Ah, I will admit, the rigors of life have wrought somewhat less desirably upon me. I do mean to say I have faced its cruel and unrelenting calumny, evidenced by when that snowplough ran me over as I slogged through the last blizzard, but I shan’t complain… Oh, but this is no place to talk. Shall we change our venue to someplace a touch more homelike?”

He surveyed the surrounding area, having honed his navigation skills to a considerably sharp(er) edge, and pointed down the street.

“There happens to be a fine cafe but one block down, a pleasant atmosphere, though I cannot vouch for their menu for I’ve yet to sample a dish. If nourishment is not your main concern, I highly recommend it.”

[shin-takamiya]

"Ah that's a shame to he-wait did you say a snowplough? Are you sure you're okay?" Once again this man was saying things no normal person should say. How was he still standing?

"Oh, but this is no place to talk. Shall we change our venue to someplace a touch more homelike?”

...Of course, he was naive to expect him to be so forward with his answers. But he was right. It would be nicer to go somewhere warm. Getting a bite to eat didn't sound too bad.

"...alright sounds fine to me. It sounds more comfortable than standing in the street like this. Lead the way," he gestured to the man. Ah, yes I still owe him from last time, I should treat him.

For some reason or another, Death only ever spoke with any given singular individual once and never again. Perhaps this could be attributed to Death’s fear of attachment, of growing too fond, for then he may linger longer and longer until he didn’t want to leave. The few times he overstayed a visit, he found his presence caused corruption. People would start attempting to bribe their way out of death, or grow completely obsessed or paranoid, or both.

For him to linger around the living simply wasn’t natural, it went against the usual order of things. But here, in this place, he roamed the streets, able to see and be seen, no questions asked. He called himself Dasoku Winters, borrowing the name of a Japanese singer and a surname based on this gelid weather. Not to say he’d shed entirely his only true appellation, for there was no escape from something which extended into his soul so deeply penetrating a sound.

Alas, Death had a rebellious proclivity wherein he often broke his own little rules, his thinking turned to, “seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the next day." Another chance such as this may never wander by again, after all.

Ah, look now, a familiar face Death never forgot faces despite being atrocious with names. Although now he found more a reason to remember them, since they knew his. Perhaps, following Death’s earlier train of thought, Fate ordained a second meeting, just to spite him.

Either way, he waved down the young man as he walked down the street, just a bit curious to see if he was remembered.

“Shidou Itsuka! Hello, my boy, good to see you. I trust you’ve been well, even in these wintry conditions.”

[shin-takamiya]

Shidou turned around at the sound of his voice being called. Was there anybody in this town who knew him by name? He had met a good number of people in town but had given few of them his name. It couldn't be his Servant, he wouldn't be so formal, and he could tell his voice from a mile away. Still the voice was still familiar...

"...Ah."

Of course. How could Shidou forget him? Dasoku Winters, the strange man he met with an assortment of equally strange trinkets and valuables, a man who was too generous for his own good and wouldn't take no for an answer. He sighed to himself, fearing what bizarre path this conversation might take, before flashing a smile to him. Despite his complicated opinions of the man, he still saw him in a positive light, so his smile was genuine.

"It's nice to see you again Dasoku. I am well, thank you. I've holding up, this weather isn't too bad. How have things been for you?"

"That so?" She looked confused for a moment, wondering if that was something she might have learned in class and just forgotten. After racking her brains for a few more minutes, a scrunched up expression revealed that she was frustrated and could remember nothing. "Hm, well alchemists, magi, it don’t matter if they’re the or not. What matters is that I’m a bonafide alchemist!" She smiled, the irritation of her poor memory easily washed away.

"You can think about whether you want something or not when we’re over there, I gotta see what they got after all! Race you there!" Exercise meant keeping your body warm, didn’t it? So a friendly race should get their blood pumping as she set off toward the direction he had pointed out earlier.

[shin-takamiya]

She seemed to have brushed off his comment entirely. Maybe she didn't know herself? Well, it didn't concern him too much; in a way she was right, her being an alchemist was the only real important thing to take away from this at the present time.

"Eh? Hold on, not so fast-" She sped away before he could protest any further. He wasn't really in the mood for exercise in this weather but then it's not like her could really abandon her either. "It can't be helped I suppose," he said as he reluctantly began jogging after her, trying his best not to slip on the icy ground.

“Yup, that there is, Al-Revis Academy, most prestigious school there is for alchemy, at least from where I come from it was. Magi, huh? Can’t say I really know much about them, but alchemists were becoming fewer and fewer at home too considering that the Mana were disappearing. But, I think we fixed that problem up so it should be fine now." It took a few battles and some life threatening situations but it should be okay now, from what she understood at least.

“Oh, thanks! And really? I’d appreciate that, in return, how ‘bout I alchemize something for ya? Not sure how much I can make with the stuff here, but we can check it out!”

[shin-takamiya]

"Is that so? I was under the impression alchemists were a specialised type of magi but I suppose that shows how little I know. I'm glad to hear they are no longer in decline." Indeed, it would be a shame if such knowledge vanished from the world altogether, there were likely many practical applications for it.

"Ah you don't have to do something like that, I'm just glad to help! Besides, I'm not sure what kind of thing I would even want or have a use for..." That being said, he was curious about how alchemy worked, so maybe he would take her up on the offer just to see it in action. "Well, in any case, let's head to the store first and see what they have before we think about stuff like that."

His series of punches were landing. Clean hits all around but this Archer was sturdier than he looked. Actually, none of his blows seemed to have any clear effect at all but Thor had continued to throw punch after punch out of sheer curiosity. That is, until one of his fists were caught like a ball seen plain as day.

The head-phone-wearing blonde followed up with a simple back kick to knock over a nearby building. It was ridiculous but Thor had actually seen that ridiculous occurrence happen before his very eyes. With the Archer’s vice grip assured, he seemed eager for the Magician to once again display his arc-fusion blades.

However, a mocking smile was only received from Thor as he placed his other hand on Rider’s wrist. He had other plans in mind,

"Your strength is actually really impressive, but did you know that the Lightning God of Norse Mythology, Thor, had incredible strength as well?"

Immense super strength flowed through Thor’s muscles, replicating the super strength of the legendary god that had enough strength to wield the incredibly heavy weapon, Mjolnir.

With Rider in his hands, Thor used his strength to leap high into the air after the incoming building. Instead of dodging, he would„„

"Messing around with this city like it’s a playground, you’re a disgrace to heroic spirits, Archer-kun,"

He swung Archer face first like a baseball bat to hit the building in order to knock it back into balance. The Lightning God really had no interest in causing a chaotic mess. 

"Well, not that I’m much of one myself either,"

[shin-takamiya]

The Master in front of him seemed impressed by his summoning. Seems like the guy was really itching for a fight. Guess it couldn't be helped.

Unfortunately, the other Master used magic to increase his speed. Shidou would have trouble landing a hit. In an instant, he was right up close in front of him. Shidou tried to swing his sword down on his opponent but it was too late to act. A powerful kick was thrust into his gut and he was sent flying back before his sword could make contact. He felt a few of his bones break in the process. They would heal soon enough, but it still hurt.

As he kneeled on the ground, trying to get back on his feet before his opponent could strike again, he looked back in the direction of the two Servants for a moment. When he saw the building fall on top of them, he couldn't believe his eyes. "This...is this what a battle between Servants is supposed to be like? Or is it just these two?" As awestruck as he was, he had no time to be distracted by it, as he had his own fight to win. Turning towards the other Master, he decided instead to try going on the offensive, and rushed towards him.

It was well known among her workshop members, and even those out of it, that she had quite the short fuse… especially when things didn’t go the way it should have. But, she knew when she was in the wrong and would definitely apologize for it.

“Around where?" How could he just stop mid-sentence, that was weird. "And yeah? I went to school for it, graduated, and own my own workshop and everything. What about it?” Had this kid never seen an alchemist before? Then again, even in her world, the numbers had been dwindling….

[shin-takamiya]

"Wow, there's even a school for alchemy...Sorry, it's just I've never met an alchemist before. Even among magi, alchemy is a field that I've rarely heard come up in discussion, so I'm a bit surprised to meet one I suppose." From what he heard of alchemy, it was an interesting field dedicated to synthesising materials out of other ingredients. It seemed like a useful skill, so it was a curious thing they seemed to be an uncommon existence.

"-Ah yes!" he pointed back on the map, "This is the place here, sorry for getting sidetracked. If you'd like I could show you the way."

Bad Luck Girl! || Intro

[thepovertygod-deactivated201501]

Falling faster and faster with pieces of glass following alongside her form, her eyes stayed glued to the concrete pavement below which was surely going to act as a lovely canvas for her soon to be blood splattered body. But as she shrieked her lungs out and flapped her arms at a rapid pace in a piss poor attempt to fly, there was some comfort in knowing that at least she lived a long, fulfilling life of doing…absolutely nothing! Not a single moment had been wasted with all those years she spent with her ass glued to a sofa, so who could have regrets living the neet life for over a hundred years?

Accepting death was the first step in what would make this sudden revelation that she was no longer a goddess that much more bitter sweet. Already anticipating each and every bone in her body crumbling to pieces, she looked down once more to see how long this freefall was going to be until she was caught off-guard by a young man running underneath her with his arms outstretched to catch her! How thoughtful! Shame it took her a little too late to realize there was a valid reason why she was feeling a slight breeze on her way down…

"…I hope he isn’t looking up my skirt…I forgot to put my panties on this morning…"

THUD!

In the arms of her knight in shining armor she had landed, but unfortunately it was a rough landing as she could hear the audible cracks the moment her form crashed against his. Momiji on her end was gasping heavily, processing how close she was to death based on a poor decision. Through the deep seated breaths in her attempts to regain her composure, she still knew she needed to thank the boy for his heroic deed as he made quite a painful sacrifice to ensure her safety. Quick to figure out the perfect way to reward him, she positioned herself so she was seated on top of his chest, and gazed down at him while trying to hide the rosy pink tints in her cheeks.

"……………"

"O-okay…I guess you could take a peek…"

Gripping the hemline of her skirt, she moved it to the side to reveal—

…Ohhhh…

[shin-takamiya]

Shidou had passed out momentarily from the impact, and was currently sprawled out on the concrete. As he came to, he felt pain all over his body...well he can heal so it wasn't too bad. As he tried to collect himself he saw the girl sitting on top of him. Ah yes that's right, I helped save this girl, he thought to himself. He felt satisfied that he had been able to prevent her from getting hurt. It was a little uncomfortable having her still sitting on him, especially since he was in pain, but he didn't mind, he was just glad she was okay.

"O-okay…I guess you could take a peek…"

"...eh?"

As he was still a little dazed, he wasn't really sure what she meant. If he had been more attentive, he might have been able to anticipate what was coming next, but his present condition meant no warning flags went off in his head. As if to clear up the confusion, the girl placed her hands on her skirt and began to lift it up, showing him-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

At this point he fully came to, shielding his eyes with his hands and trying his best not to (accidentally, of course) peek. "N-now h-h-hold on! You d-don't have to do that, so could you p-please put your s-skirt...um...you know..."

Bad Luck Girl! || Intro

Well, wasn’t this peachy?

The blurriness in her vision, the small faint voice echoing in her head, and the burning sensation she was feeling on her hands. She wanted to believe this was simply a result of her hitting the sauce far too early, but she knew this couldn’t be a hangover. If that were the case she would’ve had the urge to pleasure herself! That always cured those post-binge drinking agonies! But lacking the will to pull the ‘trigger’, the lewd goddess instead sat up to survey her surroundings while still trying to process what was brought up to her earlier.

The Holy Grail, huh? She remembered a war or something along those lines being mentioned as well. It seemed whoever dragged here hadn’t the slightest clue what they were dealing with here as what use would she have for this wish granting artifact? Her role as the God of Misfortune meant that materialistic objects weren’t a major priority, and as far as fighting for it went? That sounded like too much work! Let those other losers kill themselves for something that’ll end up worthless in the end. For now she was content with just lounging around.

"Feh…"

However, there was one little tidbit she remembered that would turn her entire world upside down…

Unfortunately, it seems your immortality has just up and disappeared! Wow, that sure is a lot of misfortune, huh?

"………………"

"YOU MEAN I’M NOT A GOD ANYMORE?!”

Her livelihood! Her purpose! All of it had been swiped away from her at an instant, and the only thing she had to show for it were these stupid markings on her hands! Frantically kipping back up to her feet, the jittery woman paced back and forth, every so often tugging at her pigtails as she tried to make sense out of this unfortunate situation!

"Hehehehe….of course I’m still a God. Why wouldn’t I be? They’re just bluffin’ is all. No one’s capable of stripping a God of their powers. I’ll prove it too. Just watch me!"

And not wasting an opportunity to show she was still a deity, amber eyes shifted over to the nearby window at the corner of the room. Never the one to exhibit a good sense of judgment, the woman sprinted over to the window, and without a second thought jumped right through it glass shattering and all! Yes, this was all just ruse to ruffle her feathers, wasn’t it? Well, she was smarter than she looks! Before long, she’ll be flying right out of here in a blaze of glory!

Except…she wasn’t flying…

She was….falling…

….How….?

"EEEEEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

[shin-takamiya]

Shidou was walking around town, with no goal in particular. Today he decided to send his servant out shopping, perhaps against his better judgement. Nothing too bad could happen though...right? Regardless, Shidou was just going for a walk to stretch his legs when he heard a crashing sound from above him.

Looking up, he shielded himself from the falling glass. He wasn't able to avoid the shards, so he could not escape getting a few cuts on him. Of course this wasn't a problem for him; already flames emerged from his wounds and he began to heal. Of course, he didn't really try to dodge he glass in the first place, because there was something more important to tend to - there was a girl who was falling too.

"EEEEEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

This girl...here life is in danger...I have to save her! These were the thoughts that went through his head as he stretched out his arms to catch her...

To get to the point, he succeeded in saving her, but he failed to catch her. Rather, he broke her fall by being directly underneath her. "GAAAAAAK!" were the sweet words of comfort the heroic boy said to the girl he just rescued as her body made impact with his torso, cracking a few ribs in the process. And so it was that Shidou was lying on the side walk with a strange girl sitting on his stomach.

Oh damn, she hadn’t meant to blow up on a complete stranger. It was just that between being pretty cold and being pretty lost, it made for a pretty upset country gal. Letting out a sigh she looked at him apologetically.

“Sorry about that, didn’t mean to be so rude. Anyway, I’m on my way to this sundry shop on the map, I need materials for alchemy and since I’m not used to the area just yet, I figure it’s better if I buy this stuff first before going out to find it myself.”

[shin-takamiya]

It looks like she calmed down after that. She was most likely lashing out out of frustration rather than just out of rudeness, so he could forgive her for that.

"It's fine. That sundry shop...I don't think I'm too familiar with it, but I think it's around-" his finger hovered over a part of the map "Wait, you're an alchemist?" Shidou had never met such a person before, and normally he would have been dismissive of such a claim, but in this war between mages, it's not surprising such a person would exist.

[shin-takamiya]

Winter Blues | protectorofmana

[protectorofmana-blog]

She had to have picked one of the worst times to come to this city, you’d think she would have learned her lesson from back at the Academy but nope. Here she was. Freezing. Stupid winter. The only reason she was out right now was to head to the local shops to get materials for alchemy, it was supposed to be an easy trip, but here she was.

This map was making no sense either which made her even more annoyed. It was bad luck for the passerby to catch her like this, “Does it look like everything’s alright? I’m lost.”

[shin-takamiya]

She made no real effort to hide the fact that she was incrediby uncomfortable with her circumstances; she was clearly in a bad mood. Maybe he shouldn't have approached her? But then for better or for worse he couldn't really help himself when it came to these things. And really she only herself to blame for being cold.

"...I was just trying help, you don't need to snap at me." Yeah, this probably was a mistake. How much would he regret this he wondered. Oh well, it can't be helped now. "Where are you trying to go?"

[shin-takamiya]

Winter Blues | protectorofmana

Shidou wasn't a fan of the cold, but he had no choice to go out in this weather to run errands. He wondered if he should have snet his Servant out from time to time, but he didn't think he could trust him.

He looked out and saw someone with a map. She looked lost...and clearly not dressed for the weather. "Is everything alright?" he asked.

Razing the City

[chaldirection]

Mahiro wondered how he ended up with such a mouthy servant, but as long as he got the job done right he couldn’t complain. From what he could see, the motorcycle suggested that the enemy was a Rider class Servant. Though the strange power he manifested from his hands suggested something else entirely. Izayoi would have to be on his guard, but at least he would have to hear him complain about being bored. As Izayoi dashed to the other Servant, Mahiro turned his eyes to the enemy master.

"Don’t take too long, Archer. I’m not giving you a lot of time."

Pressing his thumb against one of the many metal rings on his hand he used the talisman’s power to move the the ground near the other master in the blink of an eye. The blue haired boy didn’t exactly look like a Mage, but then again neither did any of the mages in the Kusaribe clan aside from Hakaze. The boy moved further and further away from the other two servants as their clash continued. He looked like he was acting naturally but he hadn’t let his guard down.

"Quite the mess we’ve ended up in," he joked, motioning to the two Servants, "It’s like you can’t go for an afternoon ride in peace these days."

"Huh? Are you an idiot? You went parading around with your servant in broad daylight and didn’t expect to run into another master? Did you forget you’re in a war, or maybe you’re just that confident in your servant’s powers."

"Well whatever. If you’re actually really strong, or just an idiot, it doesn’t matter either way if I take you out here."

Mahiro’s eyes narrowed on the young man in front of him as he raised a finger at him like the barrel of a gun. Black magic energy swirled at the tip of his finger until it was compressed enough to resemble a small orb.

“Gandr.”

The released energy shot from his finger like a bullet flying towards the boy as a warning shot of sorts. He’d be perfectly fine with the attack incapacitating him, but if he could use it to gauge the other master’s abilities then that was fine by itself.

[casualgodslaying-blog]

the servant said something to his master as Izayoi prepared to charge, a strong opponent right in front of him, this was the most excited he’d been since his fight with the bull demon king

"So they bring in these types for the Grail War, huh? But, do you think coming at me bare-handed is a smart move?"

it was as good a move as any, he thought as he flew forwards.  his fists had yet to fail him and his opponent had been so gracious as to arm him with something to throw anyway

he spun around, keeping his forward momentum, while reversing that of the lamp-post that had been thrown at him.  force was added in such a way that less than a second after the lamp post hit, so would Izayoi’s fist

"getting in a shootout with an archer class?" he laughed, continuing his charge "how stupid can you be rider?"

Bang! the sound of both him and the lamp post breaking the sound barrier at once, windows of the buildings around him shattered as he flew at the blonde boy in front of him.  he wouldn’t use his full strength yet, but he certainly wouldn’t pity the boy either. Contact would happen in milliseconds.

this would be a fight to remember

[unrivaledthunder]

Well that wasn’t good, 

BOOM!

The lamp post that had been fired like a rocket was launched back at speeds much greater, instantly colliding with Thor and sending him crashing against a building, causing dust to immediately form from the shattered wall.

"Probably a bit stupid from underestimating you," 

A confident voice answered and soon enough stood from out the cover of dust. Though he spoke light heartedly, he was not unscathed, blood ran down from the top of his head and there were scratches  and cuts that surrounded his body. He didn’t look to be in the best shape, but it would take more to put down this Magician.

"You really are reckless aren’t you Archer? If I hadn’t already held my arc-fusion blades up to block, I would have been in worse shape,"

He gave a care-free sigh as he kicked aside a small piece of rubble. Only after did a dangerous smile leak from his lips,

"But, in face of the speed of Rider, don’t get excited over one blow, okay?"

Thor’s feet ignited with a blaze of what looked like thrusters and blasted off at the boy like a rocket. He had used the arc-fusion blades at the bottom of his feet to greatly increase his speed and quickly found himself face to face with his opponent.

"It might be all that you can get!"

Once met, a flurry of normal strength’d punches fired like the rounds of a machinegun at Archer’s face, ribs and chest,

[shin-takamiya]

The other Master did bring up a good point. This probably wouldn't had happened if Thor had been less reckless with his biking, though that was hardly his fault as Thor dragged him along (granted he was a Master so he probably should take some of the blame for allowing Thor to do that in the first place). On the other hand, considering his Archer had attacked them out of nowhere with such force, Shidou felt perhaps he was being hypocritical. Of course, with the other Master's hostile tone, it was unlikely Shidou would have a chance to discuss this further.

“Gandr.”

The Master in front of him fired a magic shot at him. So much for talking things out with him. Of course, now Shidou was at a disadvantage. The speed it was going (you know, like a bullet), he would barely have time to dodge, and even then only enough for it to avoid a vital point. Of course, this shot probably wouldn't do significant damage anyway, but it would still probably hurt and have some knock back.

Thinking fast, Shidou tried to roll to the side, but he was caught in the shoulder by the Gandr shot. As expected he was unable to avoid it entirely and was knocked back a couple feet. He cringed as he clutched his shoulder in pain. Thankfully, there was no bleeding but this was of no concern to Shidou anyway.

Shit, that hurt. Looks like he won't go down without a fight. I gotta act fast before he takes me out with another shot like that, or worse!

"I like to avoiding fighting if I can, but I guess you're right. In a war like this, I guess it can't be helped," he called out to the other Master. "I'm going to have to come at you with all I have.

He stuck out his right hand and concentrated. He thought about the power he needed to fight back. He thought about 'her' back at home providing him strength. He imagined something was there in his hand to give him that power. "COME TO ME, <SANDALPHON>!"

Where there was once nothing, a giant sword materialised in his hand. He griped the sword tightly, posturing himself towards his opponent while still maintaining a defensive position. As he caught his breathe, he eyed his adversary, awaiting his next move.

[kinglylion]

this city is too big for me to bump into someone but look at where i am now ⊱

[kinglylion]

❛❛   It was somewhat awkward, to say the least. Kaneki was ready to take full blame, bumping into someone to carelessly like that — his Master would be almost ashamed. Not that he believed the blue-haired man was one to get angry at him for simply bumping into someone, but for Kaneki, who was so used to not dragging attention to himself, to being as careful as possible, it was a true shame. Even if there were NPCs around, everyone would be an enemy; detecting Servants wasn’t much of a problem if they were in material form, but detecting Masters was something a bit harder. Unless they made themselves known on purpose, there was no way he could tell.

   That’s why he was trying to be so careful. Getting detected was easy, but detecting was hard. A bit unfair if he weren’t so confident of his own abilities. A Berserker. Not the strongest class, no, but the boy was far from weak. He couldn’t allow himself to be weak, not now, not never.

   ”Yeah, I’m alright. I’m sorry, I should’ve been more careful—" And god, because of his carelessness, the other ended up dropping his bags. Even under certain circumstances, Kaneki was far from a rude person. It had been his fault, after all, hence why the albino went out of his way to help pick the bags up, being now as careful as possible.

   The thought that that boy could be an enemy didn’t even cross his mind, but even if he was — they were in a public space, weren’t they? Starting a fight there would be quite a problem.

[shin-takamiya]

To Shidou's relief, the albino was not becoming confrontational. Far from it, he seemed to feel guilty about the whole incident. He was even considerate enough to help Shidou pick up his bags. He seemed like a pretty decent guy, though perhaps a little shy. Not wanting to be a burden, Shidou began picking up his bags as well.

Still, Shidou couldn't shake the fact that this guy was a Servant. He wondered just how powerful he might be if they were ever to face off in battle. Thankfully, he did not have to worry about that at the moment; whether he recognized Shidou as a Master or not, the other boy seemed to hold no interest in starting a fight, especially in front of so many people. Shidou was not the type to start a fight either if he could help it, so a wave of relief washed over him and  the tension faded at this realization.

"That's good to hear. Oh, thank you," he said as the albino passed him the bags he picked up. "Are you familiar with this part of town? You look like you're unsure of where you're going?"

      “Are you sure?” his brows furrowed with concern, Kouta helped the younger lad back up on his feet, checking briefly for minor injuri—-

      “Ah! My biodata!”

       In the person’s hand was a familiar piece of paper, crumpled significantly from the lad’s fall.

      “Aaaaaaah!!!”

        His anguished cry echoed through the streets of Fuyuki City after he retrieved the piece of paper from the younger lad’s hand. So much for trying to look for a part-time job today. After becoming a servant he at least expected some of his fortune to go up, but apparently it was not the case.

[shin-takamiya]

The other man helped him back up to his feet. Shidou brushed himself off, feeling a little discomfort still from the fall. He had no injuries but it still hurt a little bit.

“Ah! My biodata!”

The other man reached out for the paper in Shidou's hand, now in amuch more crumpled state, with seeming desperation. "Ah, I guess this is yours the-" As Shidou tried to hand the page over, the man grabbed it quickly out of his hand. Seeing what he assumed to be his once precious paper now quite damaged, the distressed man cried out in frustration at his misfortune.

"Um...there, there? I'm sorry about what happened to your paper. Was it that important?"

      “My biodata!”

      On this fine day in Fuyuki City, one would see a full-grown young man sprinting down its streets. Not that there was battle afoot or anything like that, he was merely…. chasing a piece of paper that was flying away with the wind.

      “Wait! Stop, come back here—-gah!”

    In his haste, he accidentally bumped into an unsuspecting casualty. Nearly toppling over on his own feet from the momentum of his current speed and from trying to stop, he managed to recover with his face a mere few inches above the pavement, and immediately straightened back up, quickly turning on his heel to check the person he bumped into.

       ”I’m sorry, I’m really sorry! Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Shidou had gotten accustomed to the layout of the city, and decided to take a walk today to stretch his legs.

"I probably should be more careful going out like this, since we're in a war. But it's not like I can just sit around at the apartment all day."

A piece of paper floated by his face at that moment. Out of curiosity, he grabbed it; it was too big to just be scrap, so of course it caught his interest.

"What's this?" he asked aloud.

Before he had a real chance to get a good look at it, he was suddenly knocked into by another person, and fell to the ground. It hurt a little but he didn't seem to have and bumps or scratches.

”I’m sorry, I’m really sorry! Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

"I'm fine, thank you. I'm not hurting anywhere," Shidou replied as he reoriented himself.

A Date with Destiny(??) >>shin-takamiya<<

Death was elated to see Shidou finally consent reception of the payment. A broad smile overspread his face.

"You need not trouble yourself with reimbursement. To me, a piece of paper is hardly of monetary value. But, if you must, consider it a loan, no strings attached."

He dwelt upon the boy’s words a moment.

"…You know, you are a pretty strange guy…"

"You pay me the highest of compliments, really. My history is long and meandering—you would feel its tedium without harvesting any benefit. Although, should you find a spare moment… seek me out. I’d very much like another conversation."

The man patted Shidou’s head with a gloved hand and nodded.

"Farewell, my boy. Keep on being your wonderful self and good things will follow."

Giving one final wave, Dasoku Winters departed the market and disappeared into the crowds.

"Alright, consider it a done deal then." With that, the exchange was complete.

"You pay me the highest of compliments, really. My history is long and meandering—you would feel its tedium without harvesting any benefit. Although, should you find a spare moment… seek me out. I’d very much like another conversation."

"A compliment huh...well alright. I guess if it's as long as you say, it gives us more to talk about. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I'll try to find you if I can."

Shidou had to say, being on the receiving end of a head pat was an interesting experience, and he couldn't help but flinch a little bit.

"Thanks, I guess I'll see you around."

Having said their good-byes, Shidou headed to the cash so he could go home and prepare for his likely hungry Servant.
