[promoteshell]

If you really miss me that much, you'll get rid of one of those weaker muses and allow me in that game. While you're at it, bring that little one with us too.

Also, my starter better be a Pikachu. I won't tolerate anything else.

[riastrad_ridire]

...Am I supposed to know you or something?

[LOL UBW...]

[promoteshell]

You did sniff me out fairly quick for me being a stranger, pup.

[riastrad_ridire]

Do I look like I'm the one in control of who I talk to at the moment?

And don't call me that.

[promoteshell]

It's no fault of mine that our muns plot according to your ranked luck.

Would you prefer dog then?

[riastrad_ridire]

No, I really wouldn't.

[promoteshell]

Alright hound it is.

[ Look at all these fucks. ]

Now hound, tell me more about this Johto.

[riastrad_ridire]

Why should I tell a smartmouthed kid anything?

[promoteshell]

That's no way to treat your proper Master, Lancer.

[riastrad_ridire]

...okay, now I know you're just crazy.

Anemoi CR is go?

[wontdieifkilled]

Why are you so adamant about Pikachu?

ALWAYS <3

[promoteshell]

Because not only is he the most iconic Pokemon, but he reminds me of one of my Servants.

...

It's strange to speak with you now that I remember everything.

HELL YES.

[wontdieifkilled]

Wait, you had a Servant?

...

Hold on. What do you mean by that?

[promoteshell]

Yes, I have a couple. [ Collectin' Servants like Pokemon, brah. ] Mm, when I was there, I had amnesia. Now that I'm in this place, I don't. I thought it was pretty clear.

Although I do miss you dearly.

[wontdieifkilled]

Two? You really have the odo to make that possible?

Well, yeah, but--

[And then that last part makes him blush.]

...You...you do...?

[promoteshell]

That's right. The Servant Lancer and the Servant Archer are mine to command... for the most part. The latter just hasn't anything better to do with his time.

[ Slowly nodding. ]

I wouldn't have said it otherwise, Shirou Emiya.

[wontdieifkilled]

Lancer and Archer...that must be an unusual Grail War you're in.

Well. I-I didn't mean to doubt you. I'm...really flattered.

[promoteshell]

Not anymore unusual than the one you were in.

[ Because it's the same one, but MINOR DETAILS. ]

Too bad there's that other woman. We could have had something special. I wouldn't normally concede, but my mun informs me I have no other choice.

[wontdieifkilled]

U-um!

[HOW DOES HE DEAL WITH THIS.]

That's. That's really. Um.

[He does find her pretty, and she can be nice company. But he can't admit that, since h already has a girlfriend he loves.]

Well. There's always...parallel worlds...?

[kotrollmine]

You would not choose something carrying a measure of intimidation along with it? Hm, perhaps I should not be surprised.

[promoteshell]

It does me no good to scare everyone away at the start. I want to be known as that one that strikes when least expected. Shouldn't that be an ideal strategy in your eyes?

[kotrollmine]

Yes, I think that would be more than acceptable. It would surely not be wise to display one's strategy from the very beginning.

[promoteshell]

[ Learning from the very best... ]

Doing so would only be a weakness in the end after all.

If you were to go to Johto, which partner would you pick I wonder.

[kotrollmine]

I admit I might be partial to an Absol. I'm told it predicts disasters...and I would think one of the Dark variety might well prove interesting.

[he would name it Avenger, of course...]

[promoteshell]

[ Avenger... ]

Pressure or Super Luck though?

[kotrollmine]

Pressure, naturally. What better than to essentially weaken one's enemy with each attempt at offense they could mount?
