Fortune Full Moon Log

When midnight strikes and the dark hour falls, and things are beginning to look as they did on that fateful night a month ago. The streets are empty of shadows. The characters feel a strange power pulling them, not towards the dungeon, but to the Golden Palace Casino.  

Once there characters will find a large creature (the Fortune) in on top of the roof. It resembles a giant pair of dice with a mask on the taller stack. On the ground below are smaller shadows (Merciless Mayas), standing in two groups either side of an extremely large spinning wheel that once stood in the entry way of the building.  In front of the wheel are Kanda and Syd, both tied up and caged bent and broken prop items from inside the casino.


When characters try to get closer, the wheel will be spun and after a few moments. Kanda is released.  Syd will be suddenly carted off to the roof to stay trapped beside the Arcana shadow and suddenly the smaller shadows will start to attack.


The groups can consist of three to six people. The objective is the defeat the smaller shadows, doing so will defeat the Fortune and save Syd.

[Guess who came prepared with actual lances this time? Cheap ones, yes, but better that than a metal pipe.]

[Knights tend to get annoyed when met with such dishonorable ways like hostage-taking. Diarmuid especially. And if that was the way this Shadow chose to fight, then he would not hesitate to unleash the wrath of a Knight of Fianna upon it.]

Lancer.

[ Whipping that cheap 'ol katana out within her hands. She's dressed down in just the battle gown, no armor (as it is too much for her torso to take currently), but that look on her face?

That's the look of 'I'm gonna fuck shit up while you distract them'. Well, in more knightly terms that is. ]


Remain grounded. I will advance upon them and free the hostages.

...

[Hang on what.]

I thought we'd reached an agreement, Saber. You know you're in no condition for this.

[identity profile] greyerrant.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
THen that simply means Saber won't be going alone. We're all in this. Together this time [ he locks eyes with saber. And he's not gonna back down. ]

[ Oh good, someone who still has some faith in her. Guess the ignorance of how bad her injury was playing out in her favor at least as she gives a nod. ]

So it is settled.

I'm glad you're both so confident.

But I confess myself slightly disappointed in you, Saber. I expected a knight I hold in such high respects to know her limits.
croibhristeoir: (with me on the devil's dance floor)

3/3

[Lancer knew enough of swords to see when one was flawed. Both he and Saber were using cheap weaponry, but had she truly not noticed?]

[The shorter of his two lances--because of course they would be different lengths--flashed in a sudden movement. Not ained at Saber, but at her weapon, which shattered almost on contact.]


As well as the limits of her blade.

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-08-20 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
L-Lancer!?

[ THIS IS NO TIME TO BE WRECKING YOUR PARTNER'S SHIT!!! Letting go of what remains of the hilt, she lifts her gaze towards him. A hint of a glare burrows itself on her features.

Saber rarely got mad. He may have just pushed her to that point. ]
croibhristeoir: (rate yourself and rake yourself)

[personal profile] croibhristeoir 2011-08-20 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Tell me, Saber. [Calm as ever.]

What would you do had your blade broken on an enemy, rather than by my hand? Worse, had you been left weaponless and surrounded?

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-08-20 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
I would carry on as valiantly as I could without! That is what I would do, Lancer! That is what any knight would do!
croibhristeoir: (weep for yourself my man)

[personal profile] croibhristeoir 2011-08-20 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
And you would fall before you could even put up any real resistance!

[Lancer snapped at her, though there was clear concern with the irritation in his voice.]

We don't know for a fact that death is temporary for us all, and if it proves otherwise do you really wish to die in such a pointless manner?!

You're injured, without a weapon, and lacking even a Persona, so step back until your condition improves rather than be such a reckless fool! I ask that you trust me to fight in your place as your knight as well as your left hand!

1/2

[ Even if her fellow knight was shouting at her, his ignorance of earlier events left her with some advantage. He doesn't understand why she must save those hostages, why she must have some purpose to life. Prior to Shirou joining them in this realm, her only goal had been to fight.

Fight so that the children could worry less.

Now she only has the goal of dying with honor. If her presence was going to cause Shirou grief, then this realm was not fit for her. Saber's first (and only) heartbreak, so she's decided to make something of it.

So why does he stop her? Does she not look like a knight who's given up? ]


Lancer.

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-08-20 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ The words he spoke finally reach their target as she fumbles with the realization, the glare softening. This man, this knight of Fianna has changed allegiance in this realm.

Has he sworn himself to another king?

This king? ]


Explain.
croibhristeoir: (so sweet with her get back stare)

[personal profile] croibhristeoir 2011-08-20 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Truthfully, he had given no thought to his words before speaking them. So realizing what was said had been as surprising to Lancer as they were to Saber.]

[He had gotten this far by giving voice to heartfelt sentiment without thought, and so that was how he continued.]


We were enemies in Fuyuki--enemies who respected each other, yes, but enemies all the same. Had I the smallest opening I would have cut you down in service to my Master.

...However, things have changed, and he is no longer my Master. [His words were emphasized with a bitter tone, one Lancer mentally scolded himself for. Bitterness and grudges were unbecoming of a knight, no matter how severe the pain Lancer had suffered.] It's true that I wish to meet you in combat once more, and when that time comes I have every intention of defeating you.

As things are now, however...you are the only one in this world to whom I hold any loyalty or true respect. I have neither desire nor purpose to kill you, and I would not see you come to harm otherwise.

I-I understand, Lancer.

[ A simple reply to everything he said and yet it was the best she can give. Understanding just what his words meant, his intent, everything.. ]

Forgive my recklessness. I had a fight earlier that has left me still.. upset.
croibhristeoir: (ran up to heaven and past avalon)

[personal profile] croibhristeoir 2011-08-20 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
There is nothing to forgive, Saber. [He smiled, honestly relieved that she understood her recklessness if nothing else.]

[Lancer himself still didn't fully understand when things had changed. And he definitely didn't realize things had changed that much. But he'd spoken honestly, and that much was something of a weight off his shoulders.]


I'm only trying to look out for you. [The smile turned to a slightly teasing smirk.] I would hate for you to die before we finally had a proper fight, you know.

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-08-20 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[ Seems whatever mood she had found herself in was starting to fade as the severity of this reality made itself known. With hostages, one cannot be too swift in an offensive. ]

We need to formulate a strategy. Free the others above all else, deal with the big one later.

[ Garviel halts, halfway through starting one of his pre-battle speeches. He looks at the shattered blade. Then at Saber. Then at Derpmuid. Awkward ]

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-08-20 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Saber is just going to glance at awkward and give a simple shrug. ]

It is up to you then.

[identity profile] greyerrant.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
In the name of the Emperor and Humanity, I'll not fail you, or any of us.

[ He looks to Lancer. ] Sort this out, you endangered Saber, now you must protect him. I have someone else to save.

[ He wades into the thick of things without another word, blade sweeping in great figure 8s as he cleaves a path towards Shirou, who charged in like a moron. ]

Kill for the living! KILL FOR THE DEAD.

It's almost tempting to just stand back and watch you dual wielding those lances.

But I guess the more, the merrier, right?

Is it such a strange thing? I'm sure there are more unconventional weapon users than myself.

[identity profile] nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's certainly exotic, at least to me.

I'm sure it does require a level of skill to actually be helpful. Two spears...one would think they would get in the way.
