RECORDING 13: THE FIFTH WEEK.

[foundationmods]

A fifth week in this place begins, with less of your number among you. It's practically routine at this point, isn't it?

Routine, also is the feeling when you wake up - it's clear the Miasma has gotten even thicker. Now everyone is at level 4 - barring the two 'lucky' negators among you, you are all suffering the effects, your eyes flashing a deep, dark purple when experiencing negative emotion.

Any magic that touches the house itself will corrode over time, just like last week. If a barrier is put in place and touches the floor, walls, or ceiling, in a few hours it will be completely consumed by the miasma and fizzle out. Spells or seals will also give off miasma, and healing is still reduced to even the most powerful of spells only healing minor injuries.

You will not be able to save a grievously injured person from death through spells anymore.

The Temperature has taken another dip. It's now in the 50's, and nippy to need a layer or two. As before, the rooms have changed, so hopefully you kept anything essential in the static area.

17 of your number still remain.

...What new horrors await you this week?


WARNING: Some investigations of new areas will contain traps that may be harmful or even lethal.

You have my attention now, though. [ He's here for this, apparently. ]

[tsunderine]

Oh, do I?

[there's a strange amount of interest in her voice there]

I'll ask a rather stupid question, given that concepts can still exist even without memories - do you have any sort of familiarity with the concept of a 'holy grail'?

[kaliedoscopes]

You do. [ His interest carries too, right down to his smile. ]

I know it as the cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper, but anything beyond that, or any other meaning I'm not familiar with.

[tsunderine]

That's correct.

Well, basically, where I'm from that is true... although the thing is that the Holy Grail is a wish granting cup that people fight over in a war - I'm one of those people, defined as a Master.

[kaliedoscopes]

A wish granting cup... [ The emotion in his voice goes out and it takes him several seconds to speak again. ]

So you have a Servant, then.

[tsunderine]

Correct.

And here's the proof, not that it means anything, here.

[she lifts up her hand with the Command Seals, one of them slightly faded]

I was supposed to win before I got here.

[kaliedoscopes]

I guess you can't be a winner if you're not around to claim your prize.

[ An off handed comment given his attention is focused on the seal. ]

Is a Master without a Servant still a Master?

[tsunderine]

[she doesn't answer the first part.

as for the second-]

Of course I'm still a Master. Even if Archer isn't here, that doesn't change that fact.
