Coming From: Finer Trappings Post #67 __________________________________________ Skuld traced the contorts of the summoning circle with the very tips of her fingers, lightly brushing the mixture of ash and Iron shavings that she had spread into the shape she recalled from her own circle. Modern thaumaturgy seemed to make use of sharp angles to an alarming degree, and while the magecraft itself was easily understandable the physical creation of the circle was counter intuitive and took longer than she had anticipated. Never the less from the time it had taken her to journey forth and plunder a nearby hardware store for supplies to the time that it had taken to create the circle seven minuets had passed, an absurdly small period for a mortal but an annoying length for one such as her and, more importantly a length during in which almost anything could have happened in the distant battle. Nudging the last traced of the dust she had laid the circle out in Skuld stepped back and folded her hands. "Its done. Now Arsène, step forward. Ordinarily such a procedure would warrant two things, a relic from your Servants life, and a specific chant to declare your intentions to the Grail. As it happens we have neither, though I am aware of some of the ritual myself. As it is we will have to improvise. Approach the circle and declare 'Fill' five times. Then you will shed your blood upon the circle, a little only, but enough to declare the sincerity of your intent. If your status as a Master is genuine then the Grail should recognize you and manifest your Servant. When it does, remember your promise wont you?" Skuld gave her circle one last look before stepping to the side to allow him access. This summoning was straddling a fine line as it was, and she hoped that her circle would be good enough. The truth was that while a Chant and Catalyst were not strictly necessary to a summoning, many things could go wrong without their inclusion. The Servant could arrive with diminished powers, an inappropriate Servant could be summoned, or one that had received insufficient information from the Grail to function in the modern world. It was possible that this could work to her advantage however, if the Servant was weaker it would be more inclined to depend upon her for support.... On the other hand, if this did not work at all then she would have wasted an opportunity to interfere in a critical engagement. Well, the iron was in the fire now. All that was left was to see how the Magi preformed. Her mouth set into a grim line she backed up against the wall and watched. Edited by Beloss, May 28 2013, 03:39 PM.

Arséne stepped forward. There was a strange feeling of thickness in his throat, like someone has stuck a piece of yoghurt there. His steps brought him in front of the circle and he looked at the intricant if simple runes and symbols. He didn't have the necessary knowledge to understand what they meant, but it was not that hurd to understand what was going to happen. His face took on a determined expression. This was something he had decided. He wouldn't allow anything to hold him. Not Skulds words and certainly not some kind of last second doubts. His right hand was held forward and then he closed his eyes. He could see it in front of him. A beautiful image of a landscape. Not of any certain place, but of something that came from a dream. An impossible place with flowers and rivers and endless miracles. Arséne took the time to look at it for a few seconds before he forced it to crack with his mind. A big crack, then another and another until the picture fell into thousands of parts. If another could see this, they would reprimand him for destroying such beauty, even in his mind. Yet, this was necessary. Warmth spread through him when the circuits in his body activated and energy flowed around him. "Set! Set! Set! Set! Set! Come forth and share this path with me." He wasn't sure why he had added these words to these ordered by Skuld. They just seemed... right? Behind his closed eyes, he could see light shining and gathering. He opened them and spoke before his Servant could even fully form. Maybe it wouldn't be that unhappy if it didn't know the details of the order right at the beginning of the summoning? "I order you to not harm the one that helped me in your summoning, nor her Master, for the next 10 days!" With a burning feeling of fire on his skin the command seal vanished only a moment after Arsénes Servant appeared. The magical crest immediately went to work and bound the spirit to the order.

Matt couldn't help but wonder about the situation. It all seemed too... fast paced. One moment Caster had been testing the man, the next they'd decided to become "allies", now Caster wanted him to summon a Servant. Matt trusted in Caster's judgement, and thus trusted Arsene, but still he had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. Why would Caster make allies with a man she'd only just met? She was the one who'd said to take the war slowly, and yet she'd seemingly rushed into a commitment. Matt silently berated himself for wondering about the woman. She'd proven time and time again that she was a kind and responsible person, and far wiser than himself. Yet still... a dark feeling lingered. He remained silent as the ritual came to a close. "What kind of a ritual is that? Do you even know the incantations?" The light began to fade. In it's place stood a young girl dressed in artistic Japanese garb. Any man could tell the girl was beautiful, even as young as she was, but at the moment her face was twisted in a way that was anything but pretty. Her red eyes were locked in a glare, directed towards the man before her. With her hands on her hips, the girl walked a bit closer, looked the man up and down, then frowned even more. She turned and observed the world around her. She appeared to be in a large house. Nothing like her mansion, but large nonetheless. There also appeared to be two other people in the room, apparently waiting for something. "W-What are you looking at? Stop staring at me!" The girl spun back to the man. She had to bend her neck to meet his eyes. "So... you're my Master? Well, I'm Caster. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." The Servant gave an odd gesture, a sort of half curtsey, half bow. Despite her actions, the girl continued to glare at the man. "Well then... Are you going to stand there all night or are you going to say something?" |

Skuld watched intently as the circle sprang to life with the words the young man had spoken. Shielding her face slightly as the whirlwind of power touched down in the room she squinted at the light in mild fascination. She had come from such a vortex only a day ago, yet the view from the mortal realm was quite different. From the throne it seemed as if one was blown into the mortal world, yet from the mortal world the view was quite different. She could feel the forces at work to summon the Servant into the world and even for her it was quite a sight. As the wind died down she leaned forward slightly in anticipation and then drew back, her lip curling slightly at the Servant that had emerged. It was no proud warrior or hulking berserker that had entered the room, but a girl. A girl with pale skin, and a stench of sorcery about her. Skuld tensed and narrowed her eyes as the Servant looked to its master. This was exactly what she did not need! Another Magus! And a young girl no less! Resisting the urge to clench her fist she watched as the young magus greeted his Servant, disappointment and bitter irritation churning in her stomach. Edited by Beloss, Jul 14 2013, 10:12 PM.

Why did such things always happen to him in the last time? First Skuld had acted so friendly towards him and made him all nervous and now this girl was looking at him with something akin to... frustration, or maybe something else? His eyes traveled over her shortly and once again he blushed. She wasn't necessarily more beautiful then Skuld, but his Caster was certainly pretty. It was a different kind of pretty though. Where Skuld was mature and flirterous, this one looked mischievous and adorable. Truly, he was an unfortunate young man. Also, there was something about her that almost made him want to touch her face. A small feeling fluttered in his chest, but he somehow had the feeling that it was not... him. Oh, what a troublesome situation. "Ah!" The sound escaped his mouth after a few seconds. He could only hope that he hadn't stared, that would be the height of folly. Especially as the Girl/creature? had already mentioned that she didn't appreciate such actions. "Well, I am Arséne, pleased to meet you." He stopped himself from bowing, mostly because it would end with his face in his Servants hair and instead inclined his head in a way that showed hopefully his positive feeling. "As for the summoning, I am pretty new to the whole magic thing. This is actually the first time I am doing anything more complicated then tricking my teachers." He scratched the back of his head sheepishly, fully forgetting the presence of the other two persons. He blinked and turned around. Then he looked at the girl again and tried to be diplomatic. "Ah, this is mister Matt and that lady is.... well, also Caster. We will have to find a way to take care of this. They are sort of allies and helped me with the summoning." He smiled at her, but the smile didn't fully reach his eyes. He now had some suspicions as to whether the woman had nicked this ritual. It was possible considering that his Caster had talked about his lack of knowledge. |

The girl's eyes remained fixated on her Master, her glare neither intensifying nor lessening. A weak Master and two "others" who might get in the way of... future events. Just her luck. But these kinds of things couldn't be helped, and she'd have to make the best of the situation. Her gaze softened. "Well, this is a problem. Fortunately for you, I happen to be a magus with centuries of experience. We'll fix you up nicely..." She chuckled, and what was a once a scowl became a wide grin. Dropping her lips back into a frown, the girl spun around to face her apparent allies, specifically the taller one. The one who seemed to be a Servant. "As for you. It appears we'll have to work together for a while, grandma. Was it 10 days, you said? Until then, you'll have to call me Kagome. Maybe we can teach each other a few things in the meantime. I could help you improve your rituals..." The girl stepped closer, gazing at the other Servant. Gold hair, pointed ears, strange eyes... she seemed almost inhuman. "What kind of a Magus are you anyway, grandma?" She reached for the dagger at Skuld's side. When the Servant appeared from the circle, Matt caught his breath. The creature before him had the figure of a small girl, but it didn't quite look human. Silvery hair, red eyes, unnaturally pretty face. If Caster was plain yet awe inspiring, this new girl was disturbingly unnatural. She wasn't the fierce warrior he'd expected, but this "Kagome" seemed to be more than she appeared. Still, Matt smiled when she looked his way. |

"Kagome" snickered when the Servant spoke. This Caster lady was confident in herself, perhaps to the point of arrogance. That would be her downfall. If Caster was the weakest of the classes then a cocky Caster, even if they were powerful in their own right, would find herself in a lesser tier than she with humility. The girl took the dagger in her palm, unsheathing it. She fondled the blade, smiling as if the sharp edge were an old friend. She chuckled again. "Perhaps I've made a mistake, grandma. If I'm another fairy tale waif as you say, I've really no business advising someone so great as you." The edges of her lips curled upward as she sheathed the dagger. "But alas, a helpless damsel such as I must have no way to protect herself. May I borrow this for a while?" Without waiting for a response, the girl leaped backwards across the room. Where she had jumped, Arsene stood between the two Casters. The girl continued smiling cheerfully. "Master, may I please be excused? I feel out of sorts, being summoned in another Magi's home. I'd like to find own lodgings as soon as possible." Edited by TresserT, May 31 2013, 06:43 PM.

Arséne immediately knew that he was in a bad situation. He had seen a few fights between women. They didn't tend to get violent as fast, but when they actually started fighting that way they were vicious. Females could be agressive, destructive and overall more dangerous then a professional killer. And these two women had probably enough firepower to put any such professional to shame. And now he stood between them. He shot a look at his Servant, hoping to broadcast his displeasure. Unfortunately his face heated again up when he looked at her. What was he, a cooked lobster? Then the words of the girl registered in his head. What was he supposed to do now? He could try to be assertive.... well, better to stay polite too. "Well, I have no problem with this, but I think miss Caster had some plans first.. Kagome." The name rolled off his tongue with some trouble, but he was pretty sure it was correct. "If you want, I can show you my house afterwards, or we can go look for another place if you prefer that." His eyes were firmly on her face, ignoring the knife and her clothes. He had once read that this type of japanese clothes were worn without anything else. He wasn't going to test whether there was any truth in the statement. |
