WEEK 6.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 6 You've lost a lot of people this week, haven't you? Katniss Everdeen and Weiss Schnee were killed for rule violations, while Chie Hori and Frank Archer were murdered by Mikoto Suoh and Yuuki Terumi. It doesn't really matter how they died, though, does it? After all, they're dead now and the only thing you can do is keep moving forward. It seems like there's no end in sight. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... Changes were promised to you this week; while Sunday dawns seeming no different from the previous weeks, it seems one change is going to remain a constant - namely, a new floor has been opened up to you. Whether this is a promising sign or not is something that you're going to need to decide for yourself. The important thing, for now, is that you continue to do well. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 19

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

That's still some match of death, girl.

[ :T ]

The Servants here, they're... those heroes and gods, and then you kill each other to get the Jesus cup?

[heritrix]

[Rin frowns a bit at "Jesus cup", like that's not quite right, but doesn't correct her. It's apparently close enough.]

Until the last Master and Servant pair are left standing, yes. But unlike this scenario, each of us are willing participants. It's impossible to summon a Servant that doesn't answer the Grail's call.

[matchbreaker]

... So why are we fighting over it all? Immortality or something?

[ I mean, it is the Jesus cup. ]

[heritrix]

It's not the cup most are after, but the mana reservoir inside of it. Essentially, the Holy Grail has the power to grant any wish.

[matchbreaker]

Oh.... Oh. Okay, so it's like a magic pool in there? I guess that makes sense. So you summon a bunch of dead guys who want to resolve their regrets, you guys all have some sort of ambition, you kill each other until one wish remains.

[ ... So fourteen people walk in (seven fake) and then you do it until the end there? That's probably a small price for a wish, isn't it? She glances at the painting of the girl... huh. ]

[heritrix]

Wow, you followed that really well.

[It's like you were on the second route, so you could scene skip the tutorial.]

But that's the general premise, yes.

[matchbreaker]

I did, but that sounds completely insane.

[heritrix]

I'd expect that response from anyone else. There are even mages who would balk, but I grew up around the concept, so my opinion isn't the standard one.

The Tohsaka have sought the Grail for centuries, so it's natural I'd fight.

[matchbreaker]

[ for... centu-- wait-- wait ]

And they ain't won it yet, or everyone's just bad at wishing?

[heritrix]

The past four Holy Grail Wars have had no winner. Either every participant was killed before one could reach it, or the Grail itself was destroyed.

Well, if someone had won it anyways, I wouldn't be participating now.

[matchbreaker]

There can only be one winner ever?

[heritrix]

...Mm, I wouldn't say there can only be one winner, but there can only be one prize. If someone ever seizes the Grail and makes a wish, I'm sure the Holy Grail Wars would finally end.

[matchbreaker]

[ Huh, that's... interesting, actually. Interesting, but super morbid, because that means - holy shit, her father and other relatives all died in failure, if her family linage is for it.

She glances at the painting and then runs a hand through her hair. ]

... Well, here's hoping you resolve that tomfoolery.

[heritrix]

I'm not worried about it.

[It doesn't sound like she's lying. Not about that.

The man in the painting though, that's another matter entirely. Rin's eyes linger on it a bit, before she adjusts her grip and rounds another landing.]

Anyways, I should get this to my room.

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, wouldn't want you to get murdered out here in the middle of then night.

[ it's only Monday though, so probably not? All the same, Elda waves her hand to dismissive Rin to bring the painting back down. ]

[heritrix]

[Pfft.] It's not that late, and I'm not so weak it would take me that long.

[Still, she'll wave back and go. See you later, Elda.]
