On coming back to a_facility

[gandere]

So this is what you meant by giving Archer a decent Christmas present. Geez, I don't really celebrate that sort of thing, but I suppose I could approve of this.

I have to admit that I'll miss that metal arm though. It was nice being able to punch idiots whenever they deserved it without having to worry about breaking my knuckles. An opportunity like that doesn't come up often, so it's a shame you decided to make me return to complete my story instead of porting me to another game.

... You're not expecting me to thank you for that, are you?

[Surprise, surprise! For once, here's an Archer with his guard down for the moment!]

...you're really coming back?

[gandere]

Mm, that's right. Provided my app is approved.

The mun did make a few changes to it. While it has it's improvements, there's always a chance she made a mistake. That's why she really ought to leave it to me, but it's in poor taste to have us write apps ourselves.

[didyoumeanbane]

Of course. No one can know ourselves better then us, that's for sure.

In any case, I think you guys won't have any trouble with it, definitely. I'll be waiting for you when you do get back.

[just like Seymour]

[gandere]

That's incorrect. I believe I know you better than you know yourself, Archer. Someday you should allow me to write your app.

Name, Emiya-kun. [ Flashing that devil's smile. ] See, it's already perfect.

Ah, but you're really going to wait for me? In the medical bay? I don't trust Tsunade being the one to wake me up or even that one weirdo with the mask.

[didyoumeanbane]

Hoh-? Can't wait to see how the rest of it will look like, then. [Archer Tempts Fate #475]

Yeah. [Or well, just passing by and looking in, at least.] And don't worry, I'll make sure no one sees you without your thigh-high socks.

[penisenvy]

That depends. Will she give your story a satisfactory ending? Or will she doom you end your life in failure, having even the purpose of your existence denied to you?

[gandere]

As if I'd allow her to doom me. That sort of e-rank luck is better reserved for people like Emiya-kun and Lancer.

[penisenvy]

I have little knowledge of who those people are, Miss, but it seems you are a very determined person. However, sometimes even determination cannot defeat a cruel fate.

[She would know. She's tried and failed. From the very beginning, when she was born with an incomplete body, she had been marked for failure.]

[gandere]

If fate decides to try to kick me while I'm down, I'll grab it by it's feet and throw it. That's just the kind of person that I am.

Who allows the world to dictate what they can or can't do?

[penisenvy]

Someone who fought against the world and lost. Or perhaps someone whose spirit is not strong enough to defy the confines of the flesh.

[answerer_sword]

...Welcome back, Tohsaka.

[But from the unemotional way she says it, it is unclear whether or not she means it.]

[gandere]

I trust you haven't been on your best behavior since I've left.

No matter. You haven't made a mess of things too badly in my absence, have you?

[answerer_sword]

[She frowns just a little. For a moment, she considers not replying. After all, why should she have to answer to Tohsaka?]

...I did not make messes. I only responded to them.

[And now she's also missing an arm.]

[gandere]

[ Because Tohsaka is her facility-senpai, that's why. ]

That's not a wise idea in that place. Apparently there are gods locked there, you know.

[answerer_sword]

Are there? So far the worst I have encountered are crazy, but powerful people. There is a demigod, but she is...sane.

[Susan's status was a little hard for her to understand.]

[dieswhenkilled]

Too bad the mun dropped me just today. *Sigh* I can't seem to catch a break, can I?

[gandere]

That E-Rank luck of my Archer's must have come from somewhere, right?

[ Adding a laugh to soften that blow. ] These things can't be helped, Emiya-kun.

[wannabe_hero]

Okay that's awesome .... um, what kind of Facility is this ...?

[gandere]

Not the sort of place I'd care for you to get caught in, Emiya-kun. I've been there long enough that I can handle myself.

[ In other words, a torture facility. ]

[wannabe_hero]

Then you shouldn't be going back, Tohsaka-Chan, even if you can handle it.

[There's that heroic streak of his again.]

[gandere]

Are you trying to tell me what I can and can't do? If I'm capable of handling it, then there's little harm in me returning. That's all there is to it.

[ She's used to the heroism. ] Besides, I'm not exactly the Tohsaka you know.

[gaybulge]

Ha. It'd be crass for her to ask for thanks considering where you're going.

[gandere]

It won't be so bad once I return to your side. You must have enjoyed that small break without me, right?

[ Go on and break the cutie I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU. ]

[gaybulge]

[. . . Welp.]

So I take it your mun didn't tell you?

[gandere]

Tell me what, Lancer? I don't know if you know this, but I rather not spend my time talking to someone who puts me on an island devoted to having sex.

[ ... ] Although I suppose you would be interested in that place yourself.
