Training Log 01: Shiny new powers

It's been a day- or something similar to it. After all, time seemed to be a weak thing here. But it's long enough that the pounding in his head from the attack under the Founation is... manageable. His ribs still ache, but he's not going to let that stop him- if Rei needed them to fight, then he would fight. Especially since he now remembered HOW to fight- a weak memory that came with a few other things. Like that fact that he might be royalty(?), but more useful was his skills with a weapon.

So he goes hunting for a big open area- and every other Executor he sees he mentions his intention: to train and test out these new powers. Eventually he finds what he's looking for: what probably was supposed to be a park, though it was slightly twisted like everything else here. But it was open enough that he probably wouldn't hit any non-combatants. A quick switch to his Executor uniform, massive black armor with a fur lined cloak, and he spins his bone spear like an expert.

How strange to have this knowledge but almost no context. Well, it is what it is. He wonders if any of the others will join him?

...right, shit, you wouldn't know, would you?

[Kingslayer raises their gauntlet and turns its back to face Rei. On it is an elaborate skull insignia, neatly segmented into three parts.]

I'm a Servant, Saber class, according to the memories I got when you gave me this Command Spell. Servants can't die, at least not like how humans do, which means that somebody must've summoned me here to this wonky afterlife for some reason. And whenever something goes unforgivably weird with a Servant summoning, Ruler-classes tend to show up to fix it. And since Ruler classes are the only ones capable of giving people Command Spell strokes, Servant or no... you have to be a Ruler class.

See?

[Kingslayer is blissfully unaware of how little that made sense.]

[ Rei just continues staring at them, like they've grown a new, also helmeted, head. ]

I...

I don't know what a command spell is?

[ SHE'S SO CONFUSED ]

...the tattoos.

That we all have.

Those things.

You know, the ones that unlocked our Servant powers? Or Executor powers. Either way.

... I'm sorry but I still don't understand anything you're saying.

[ She looks lost as hell. ]

Um, what does this 'command seal' do?

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-16 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
When a Master activates it, it gives their Servant a command they can't disobey, and makes a Hell of a lot more powerful if we play along. Simple stuff, really.

...shit, I've completely lost you, haven't I?
phantasmagorial: (worried)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-16 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Completely.

[ She rubs her temples, like she's trying to ward off a headache. ]

I don't remember much else except how being an Executor works and I definitely don't remember any of that coming into it. Is that how things worked for you when you were alive?

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-18 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I was never alive. Technically, I don't think I'm even real, but eh. Mages can think about that boring philosophical shit, I don't have time for it.
phantasmagorial: (neutral talking)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-19 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You must have been alive at some point for you to have ended up here, though? I'm not sure how it would work, otherwise.

Well, I was alive, but not alive alive. Like, alive in the actual living sense. At least not before I came here. You know?

...I am terrible at explaining this stuff, aren't I?
phantasmagorial: (bitter smile)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-24 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Deadpan: ] Yes.

[ f in the chat for kingslayer. ]

Maybe we should stop trying to get our heads around it before we both end up with a migraine.
pioailurophobia: (A Rare Smile)

[personal profile] pioailurophobia 2020-08-25 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[That somehow manages to wring a genuine laugh out of Kingslayer.]

Yeah, probably. I don't do great with this kind of magecraft bullshit anyways.

Time will tell if I'm right or not.

[There's a brief pause.]

Or maybe we won't get any more memories back.

That would suck for everyone else, I guess.

...I think I'm pretty good with what I have if it came down to that, though.

I'm not sure myself, either way. I haven't remembered anything else since waking up here, but we also don't know exactly what triggers our memories. Obviously, becoming an Executor is one of those things but we have no idea why. There has to be some reason, though.

[ All she has is guesswork. It's starting to get frustrating, honestly. ]
