((I’m still alive! I just haven’t been feeling well for the past week. Combined with work, it’s been pretty tough. I miss writing with all of you and hope to be back pretty soon for more Fate/Grand Order RP!))

reblog if you’re 25+ and still roleplay; or if you believe older muns have a place in the rpc and shouldn’t be told to give it up when they turn 30. 

i received this anon & i just want to make a point.

“I suppose not all family members get along all the time... Still, I’m not going to give up trying to bond with my Servants. It may be futile in some regards, and I may be a fool for trying, but I’m determined to see them as human beings just like me... imperfect, flawed, and...” She heaved a heavy sigh “...and maybe seeking something more than just the hand they’ve been dealt by fate...”

“Do you really think I’m foolish for trying to understand the Avengers and the more unstable Servants, Nobu...?” Ritsuka seems troubled by the Archer’s previous words to her.

     “Yes.” Wow. Blunt. “ But if you wanna keep at it, we’re not gonna stop you. Up to you whether or not you want to continue trying.”

[wassupmaster]

“You won’t... abandon me, will you...?” Ritsu’s usually calm features take on a hesitant worry. It appears she has allowed her main concern to show itself. While it’s true that summoned Servants are there for the long haul, they still possess free will. And the young woman isn’t the sort of Master who would tyranically use her Command Seals to dominate those she considers to be part of her family...

Still, after suffering through a day that she could not help but think about her father, her fears manifested more strongly than usual...

[wassupmaster]

“...I don’t want to talk about my father.” Ritsuka speaks with a tone of finality, and proceeds to change the subject.

“Does no one know anything about Indian history...? I wonder if I should go get Karna or Arjuna and have them handle this...”

“WOW!!! JEANNE BECAME A COUNTER GUARDIAN!”

“I don’t think so…. I met Miss Jeanne on the moon and that woman’s Spirit Origin doesn’t feel like hers at all…”

“Oh…I guess it would be weird for her to be a Saber twice, huh? I wonder who this is then…”

“I believe that is Lakshmibai, the queen of northern Indian state of Jhansi. She was one of the key figures in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 to try and get rid of British colonial control of the country.”

“…I advise you to be particularly careful about Envy, Leviathan that is. Thati s indeed what’s at her core, but the way it manifests in her personality is…quite simply, malice. Malice and sadism towards everyone else. She is Envy at its extreme, and thus she always resents and despises everyone for what she doesn’t have. Combined with her power and skills, that means she’ll almost always kill them or worse. Furthermore, she hates the idea of others being above her in status, so there’s a good chance that she would simply prevent you from speaking by force if it seemed like you were about to exert your authority as Master over her.”

“So I’d need to humble myself or treat her as an equal at the very least, huh?” Ritsu’s brow creased in concentration as she considered the weight of Beelzy’s words. “Sounds like she’s embraced her aspect and let it define her a lot more in her own head. She’ll need to be handled more delicately... especially around our more proud and boastful Servants.” Chaldea had always had it’s share of loose cannons, but Levi seemed more like a nuclear Easy Button.

“My approach may not even be the right one,” added the young Master, doubting herself. “How do you truly handle the Lady of Envy when she’s fully embraced who she is...? Does she truly not care about anyone at all...?”

“Ahh, I see…I know all of them rather well. We’ve spent eternity together in Hell, after all. Yes, Belphegor would be a difficult one…Though her raw power is immense and her defenses are impenetrable, she’s incredibly lazy and apathetic. Rather than sending her into battle, it may be wiser to simply use her as a strategist of sorts. She’s also something of a genius in all matters, I’ve found. She could likely beat modern computers in calculation speed.”

“That makes sense. It would be less taxing on her, which would fulfill her aspect effectively.” Ritsuka looked thoughtful. “Envy is one that’s more straightforward. Wanting what others have can be a powerful motivator, and offering that to her on a silver platter can not only garner a positive response, but also help her see that she is a valued member of our team.

“I’d use command spells on her so that her Envy isn’t overpowering, but... they’re still regenerating from the last time I used them.” She holds up her right hand, showing only two thirds of the symbol had returned. “But.. I think she’d be insulted and hurt that I didn’t try to see her for who she is first. She’s not the type to admit such things, but...”

“Essentially yes…And that’s something we’ve all been living with for a very long time, so it’s more or less shaped our personalities from the start as well.” Beelzebub nodded in confirmation. “What about it?”

“I’m asking so that I can know how to act around the other Kings of Hell if I summon them. We don’t have any catalysts for specific Servants, so our summoning ends up using Saint Quartz and a prayer that we receive someone willing to help pursue the Grand Orders. So chances are that we’ll summon someone else here who... may be less disposed to civility. If they can’t consciously control their actions to a certain degree - if they’re forced to act a certain way due to their presiding attribute - then I can try to predict how I can persuade them diplomatically. Hopefully they’ll understand why I take that approach, but... for some aspects, it may be difficult either way. Sloth, for example.”

     “Don’t talk to me like as if I started it.” The warlord snapped, giving Ritsuka an angry look. The day was quite taxing on her, mentally and physically, and as a result, didn’t have a lot of patience. “Because I had no intention of starting a fight with her at all. She attacked me first. And here you are, talking like as if I’m the one who instigated it.      Get your facts straight or go away. I’m not playing the scapegoat here.”

     She then turned her head away. She really didn’t want to remember what all happened today. She was drained enough as it is… having someone accuse her of this stuff doesn’t improve her mood.

     The pained warlord let out a soft sigh of anguish.

     “I’ve suffered enough for one day. I don’t need this.      I only blame myself for letting things get this messed up. For nearly getting Okita killed. I… I can never forgive myself for that. This entire time, I keep hearing the same thing in my head: ‘I should have stopped her’… and I didn’t, and look at the fix she’s in now. Tch…      …some friend I am. Letting her friends get injured like this…”

Ritsuka listened patiently as Nobunaga vented her frustration. When she was finished, she went back to dabbing her face with the cool cloth. “I didn’t mean to imply you started anything. I was trying to choose my words carefully, but it seems I chose poorly. I apologize.

“But look at it this way. You and Okita are still with us. Wounds can heal. No permanent damage was done. And.. Okita wouldn’t want you to beat yourself up about a choice she made on her own.”

She reaches down and cups Nobu’s face, smiling gently. “Torturing yourself won’t put anyone at ease. Try not to dwell on it too much, okay? Or I’ll go get Chacha and she’ll make you smile.”

     “She suffers? I find that hard to believe.” Nobu says, huffing. She’s looking a little better, and is able to see out of her left eye again. But the rest of the left half of face is still swollen and bandaged. Nightingale also appeared to have replaced the bloodied bandages from earlier from the previous incident. 

     …in addition, Nighingale has forcefully strapped Nobunaga to the bed to prevent her from sneaking out of it in her condition, having caught onto her habit.

“Levi doesn’t appear to be suffering, no.” Ritsu reaches over to take a washcloth and soak it in cool water before using it to wipe down the exposed portions of Nobu’s face. “See, because of her nature as the personification of Envy, she’s basically compelled to act in accordance with that particular sin. The reason she doesn’t appear to be suffering is because she has accepted that things can’t change. It’s not really possible to fight against something that basically dictates your actions for you despite every fiber of your being willing you to do the exact opposite.”

She wrings out the cloth before soaking it in fresh water. “She’s resigned to her fate. She believes that the Envy she can’t control will push people away, so why bother making friends? What’s the point of getting close to anyone when she’ll always end up feeling secondary in their lives - because her Sin forces her to feel that way despite any evidence to the contrary? It’s really a sad existence she lives.

“But that’s why she did this to you... It was her way of warning you that she isn’t in control. That this is what happens when you get too close. That you’re better off just leaving her alone and not getting involved with her... 

“But she also doesn’t want pity from anyone. She just wants understanding, and acceptance for who she is... even if part of her has given up on ever getting that from anyone but a few people.”

[wassupmaster]

“Are you feeling better, Nobu?” asks Ritsu as she sits beside the Archer’s bed. “I heard about what happened. While I understand your feelings on the situation, you really need to stop letting your temper get the better of you. Especially around someone who suffers like Levi does.”

“So let me make sure I have my fact straight, Beelzy. The Kings of Hell are deeply affected by their predominant Sin to the point where it’s essentially a compulsive response. In other words, if put into an otherwise normal situation, the representative Sin will make them act in a way that caters to the Sin itself, rather than any typical human reaction. In spite of reason, in spite of any logical thought on the part of the Servant, the Sin dominates unless they make a concerted effort in holding it back... and even then, it isn’t always possible. Am I correct in my reasoning so far, Beelzy?”

“Am I the only one here who got a decent date tonight? Interesting... And as for who it was, well... let’s just say it’s a secret~”

[vaultbb-blog]

Could you please reblog this if it is okay to ask you straight up if you want to ship?

Martha's going to squish her master, "don't be silly! I take care of you!"

“M-Martha... Geez...” Ritsu got squished. And liked it. Because she’s blessed by the patron saint of hugs and warm feelings.
