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?

[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?

[answerer_sword]

...Welcome back, Tohsaka.

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

[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.

[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.

[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?

[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.

[gandere]

Don't talk about that.

[ Glancing away. ] You might tempt the mun into posting my arrival naked.

[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.]

[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]

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?

[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.

[didyoumeanbane]

But, what if I do want to see you in that state?

[Is that smirk actually being honest or just trolling as usual? Jfc Archer, stahp.]

[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?

[wannabe_hero]

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

[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.

[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. ]

[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.

[gandere]

The confines of flesh? Don't tell me you want something as foolish as immortality.

[gandere]

I'll kill you.

[ No easy route for him. Only tiger dojos. ] I think that's a fair bit of equivalent exchange. You see my bare legs, I take your life.

[gandere]

What advantage do I gain in telling a lie to an ally? None whatsoever. Least of all in this place where my words honestly have no bearing on what happens there.

[ Hmph. ] So yes. There are.

[penisenvy]

N-no! I simply wish to change the imperfections of my body. To become a perfect duplicate of my Father.
