Here's some prompts below to help get things moving along if you don't have an idea to play out. The prompts are just prompts, if you have something specific, just let me know either at sweethymns or my AIM (rainsweets). Have at it! ➢ 01. AMUSEMENT PARK: Disneyland? Knotts Berry Farm? Six Flags? A made up amusement park with knockoff characters? Who cares, let's just ride that roller coaster or that giant swing ride! ➤ 02. PARK: Benches, trees, grass, maybe a lake and a basketball or volleyball court. ➢ 03.

Grab your medicinal herbs and shotguns, let's survive the horror. ➢ 09. WILDCARD: Let's make up shit.

Oh... sure. [Frantic Waver is brought to a stand-still by politeness.]

If you're not feeling well, you should at least sit down. [He gestures to a low stone bench near the path and walks that way himself. Not the most comfortable thing, but better than the ground.]

You're right, an introduction would be nice. Lien didn't tell me your name.

[emotive]

Ah! Thank you very much. [She follows him and takes a seat on the bench.]

My name is Ai Thao Kha. I'm pleased to meet you Waver Velvet! I hope my sister didn't give you a hard time when you encountered each other?

[loyal_subject]

[Is that all one name? But the way she calls him by his full name, maybe that's first and last.]

Nice to meet you too, and you can just call me Waver. [Being called by his full name gives him bad flashbacks of a certain cruel professor.]

Haa, as for meeting your sister... no, it wasn't too hard of a time. [In a 'could have been better, but could have been worse' way.]

[emotive]

If you insist!

[She ain't arguing, she was just being polite.]

This is quite the conundrum though, isn't it? One way or another, we've seemed to cross the boundaries of time to come face to face like this.

[loyal_subject]

[For all that she's far more polite, she's straight-forward in her own way.]

Yep, you could call it that. Although, going by how out of the ordinary your Fifth Grail War is shaping up to be, perhaps this is all just another side-effect. I would love to research it, but I don't have the resources- [he slumps dejectedly.]

[emotive]

It's quite possible. We've been through quite a bit ever since we made our pacts.

... You were from the Fourth War... That means you met Diarmuid at some point right?

[loyal_subject]

[He would... rather talk about those things you've been through than about that Servant...]

Well, using the term 'met' loosely, yes, I have. Speaking of, where is he? [Even though his War is over, the thought of a Servant being concealed near him in Spirit Form makes him a bit nervous.]

[emotive]

[eh, it wasn't all that great]

Ah, I told him to be at ease since it's daytime. He's in my residence right now.

[Ai is nothing, but trustworthy.]

He's extremely diligent, but I'm rather capable on my own as long as I'm not up against another Servant.

[loyal_subject]

Are you serious?! It doesn't matter if it's dark out or not- you never know when another Servant might be around! [God, both of these kids are going to die, what with one of them losing her Servant and the other leaving him at home-!]

Is that guy seriously at ease, letting you wander the city alone? [Somehow he doubts that chivalrous Spirit is okay with this. But go ahead, Ai. Convince him otherwise.]

[emotive]

I have Mystic Eyes.

[She doesn't sound too worried...]

My Servant knows better than to coddle me. I'm not helpless.

[loyal_subject]

[And for all that she's far more polite, she's scary in her own way...

Waver idly wonders if Lancer's chivalry came across as 'coddling' to Ai.
He waves her comment aside.]

No, I'm sure you're not. The Grail doesn't choose unworthy weaklings. Just... if you and your Servant can understand each other's feelings, things go better. That's all I'm saying.

So, what's the power in your Mystic Eyes that makes you so fearless? [Inquiring minds need to know.]

[emotive]

[FEELINGS... LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT.]

It's quite different from my sister's. They're Mystic Eyes of Distortion.

[loyal_subject]

[HEY IT'S NOT EASY, OK?]

[Waver puts on his most thoughtful face, thinking about that kind of power. (Somehow, he thinks it's good that the powers weren't switched between sisters, although it might seem to suit them better.)]

I can imagine that being useful for attack, sure. [You'd still be mincemeat for any Servant that felt like a sneak attack though. (It takes so much will power to not say that out loud.)]

Can you distort anything beyond the physical?

[emotive]

[ABOUT THAT... ripping open weak tears in the fabric reality kinda]

It depends. I can control my ability fairly well, but sometimes its strength is volatile.

[She sighs.]

I try not to use it too much, but it's been getting a lot of it these days.

[loyal_subject]

[Serious urge to bop this girl on the head- depending on a power that is 'volatile' that she can control 'fairly well' so that she can wander around without her Servant during a War...
Ugh, kids.]

"It depends." So, give me an example then. Could you physically distort that tree to turn it into toothpicks? [He points to one across the courtyard.] Could you distort the space between us and it so that it's closer? [He points to a bird under the tree.] Could you distort time so that we could sneak up on that bird really quickly, or so that we could watch it fly in slow-motion?

[Technically, he's asking about things that are at the very boundaries of regular magecraft. Where do the Mystic Eyes fit in?]

[emotive]

[She looks rather incredulously at Waver and the stream of questions...]

As long as it's within my line of sight, physical objects don't stand a chance. Everything... Well, it bends.

If I looked at the tree in front of us right now, I could make it twist and then it would break.

[loyal_subject]

[But, but, there will be no disputing his excellence if he can flesh out a research paper on this...
...oh, fine.]

That is pretty impressive, actually.
You'd be in serious trouble from a sneak-attack, though. [Couldn't resist bringing it up after all.]

[emotive]

Maybe. But it's not like I haven't been cautious.

[And her right hand shows she still has three of her spells.]

[loyal_subject]

Right.

[Okay, so she's cautious and still has three Command Spells. But she's so gonna get hurt...]

Have you happened across any other Masters or Servants yet?

[emotive]

We've come across several Servants. Masters are surprisingly far a few in between so far.

[loyal_subject]

Mmm. That's not too unexpected. It's not a bad strategy to stay behind the front lines and let the Servants do their jobs. It sounded like there's a lot of irregularities in your War though, so who knows what will happen.

Come to think of it, how long has your War been on for?

[emotive]

It's been a few weeks. Almost a month, but not quite. [Ai looks at her hand that holds the Spells, looking thoughtful.]

The first night I was in Fuyuki was when I first encountered Lancer. There were these... Rifts in the city I was investigating. It was as if the boundaries of this world were disrupted and it's letting in demonic creatures and maddening Servants without a Master.

[She can't help, but smile at the memory of meeting Diarmuid the morning after.]

I might have died that night if I didn't make a contract with Diarmuid. We've been trying to sort out this mess of a War since then.

[loyal_subject]

'Mess of a War' is an understatement. Nearly a month? And you and Lien making contracts in such irregular ways...

[He shakes his head.] I can't decide if I'd want to return here in ten years to see it for myself or not.
[Interesting, but trouble. And who wants trouble?]

But please tell me you've not been trying to 'sort it out' on your own? What about the Church? The Association? If it's that big of a mess, they're the ones who should be sorting it.

[emotive]

Well, I've contacted my sensei. As for the Church, we went to see the overseer at the church building in Fuyuki itself, but...

[... Is her head hurting again? Maybe.]

... There was another Servant inside. If that place is supposed to be neutral ground, I don't know what he was doing in there.

[loyal_subject]

Seriously?!

[Having joined his War in a rather 'unofficial' capacity, his ability to gather information had been limited. But given the role of the Church, it was unthinkable that there would be a Servant there, let alone contracted to someone there.
But let him say it again,]

Wow, this fifth War is hardly a Holy Grail War at all. I hope the Association gets their rear in gear and does something.

What about those rifts you mentioned? Did you find out anything more about them, or if they're connected to this?
