WEEK 5 MINGLE - AMARANTHUS

[foundationmods]

Another trial, another horrible outcome.

This time, it affected so many people...and yet, they still weren't done.
Who would be killed next?
Would they be able...to handle whatever happened?🗈

Still, things were just the same as they had been the past few weeks.

The goats and servants were still around, and so too were the witches.
It was all becoming routine at this point.
Was that a good thing, or a bad one...?
It was...too hard to tell, now...

...Either way, they were now closer to the end.
So, like always...they had to see it through.

[He tilts his head at Sherlock and doesn't drink. Demon kid here, and all.]

Did you live in the country, too?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Cars didn't come out until about... 1885, I was already an adult man by then.

[anonnomnomnom]

So you’re... a time traveler.

[Hmm.]

I remember you saying something about Servants and summoning things, so that kind of makes sense.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Well, it's more accurate to say I'm a "Ghost" of sorts, one of flesh and blood but the spirit of a long dead figure nonetheless.

[literalidiotball]

... Okay, but the time traveler bit kind of reminds me of that one show I heard of once. A cartoon. For children. And I think it had a robot Watson?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Oh that show. It's a little strange - I have no idea why they made me blonde.

[literalidiotball]

[He shrugs.]

I mean, at least they didn't make you a mouse.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Oh Basil!

[He grins]

He's actually not a bad fellow to work with - once the initial oddity of the situation wore off for the both of us.

[literalidiotball]

... What, he works with us?! I had no idea!

[Wheatley, you just finished your training before you got stuck here!]

[anonnomnomnom]

How can you be a ghost of flesh and blood... You're more like a possessed zombie at that point.

[youkaiwatch]

Fuurouta was a little bit like that? He was a ghost, but he was usually solid.

[anonnomnomnom]

Ah. Like a... poltergeist? I didn't know those counted as flesh and blood, though. Ghosts have gotten more and more confusing since I got here.

[And probably at the Foundation too, but them's the breaks.]

[youkaiwatch]

Maybe something like that... Ghosts and youkai are different things, so I didn't really understand everything about him.

You reminded me of him a little bit the first time we met, actually.

[anonnomnomnom]

Are there people who are both ghosts and youkai? Or...

[He luckily seems to decide against going on in that vein because you get the point, and also Emi's other statement is much more interesting here.]

Ah. Why did I remind you of him?

[youkaiwatch]

You both had a lot of energy and no pretensions. It was a pretty shallow comparison, though, and I don't think you really have too much in common beyond that.

[anonnomnomnom]

He still sounds like kind of an interesting guy. I wonder if I can meet him sometime.

[youkaiwatch]

Maybe. He'd probably enjoy that too.

[ She's sure Fuurouta wouldn't agree with a lot of the things Anon did or with his way of thinking, but he's still a friend to every kid. ]

[respring]

[ pipes up from the corner ]

Servants exist in a place called the Throne of Heroes...when they're summoned, they take on a semi-physical form, but existing in the Throne means they'll always be spirit beings. And to be in the Throne of Heroes, you have to have died.

[ or not be born yet, in Merlin's case ]

That's the simple version of the explanation, at least.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He nods in confirmation]

More or less correct, to go in depth means getting more into detail about specifics of magecraft and how magic works on our world, and no one came here for a lecture.

[anonnomnomnom]

Ah, so they're summoned, which gives them a body. That makes a lot more sense, actually.

[Sakura is good at explaining things, as usual. He gives her a little thumbs up.]

So all Servants are actually dead.

[improbablenotimpossible]

There are the rare exceptions, but yes.
