ένας ϟ briefly audio, mostly video

[The feed is at first filled with static and the sounds of the device being knocked around. But eventually, words start to filter through.]

Ahh, I believe this i――No, perhaps――?

[And the person seems to figure it out, so the deep, resonant voice laughs jovially before it flickers to a video feed. There's a gratuitous shot of a manly as hell beard because Rider basically has his face in the camera, but seeing the image on the screen, he leans back to sit with his arms crossed.]

Ha, here we go! What odd little things these computers are. They are far too small and fragile, in my opinion, but that is neither here nor there for the purpose of this announcement.

[He grins even more, clapping his hands together.] Well! I have expected for this or myself to disappear, and yet both still remains. I suppose that crosses out the possibility of it being a strange dream, eh? So hello, those of you that may hear me upon this network! I confess that I do not know completely of the audience to whom I speak, but I suppose it matters little! I am Alexander III of Macedon, King of Conquerors, though I would prefer to be called Rider for now. And I extend my greetings to all of you, as comrades in this situation, as future friends and even more as potential future subjects. I would be remiss as the King of Conquerors to not consider adding this tower to my territories, eh? But this is a matter for another time.

For now, I seek information, if you would give it. I wish to know about those in charge, who I have heard briefly of. [Though he's still smiling, a fire seems to come to his eyes, as if he's fully aware that they might hear this themselves. He's throwing down a challenge, in a way.] I would like to know who I challenge, after all.

[With that grand address out of the way, he crosses his arms once more, his voice becoming less grandiose] And as a last note, I speak exclusively to the Masters and Servants of the War that also find themselves within this tower. If you do not know what this means, then it is not addressed to you, I am afraid. But to you, my friends, I propose a meeting amongst us, to discuss this situation and what it means for us. So please, contact me at your liberty, and we shall speak of where and how we should meet.

((ooc; to the Fate/ cast, which the last part is directed to, if you could include a contact method in a note on your tag or PM it to this journal, that would be awesome! Hopefully we can do a log to play out what Rider's suggesting if there's interest, but if not, we can figure out a conclusion and handwave it.))

[A fair-haired girl shows up in response to his video - specifically, the last bit. Another one, hmm? At this point, she's just... stopped being surprised.]

A meeting is a fine idea. I'm a bit ashamed that I have not considered such a plan much earlier.

[To be fair, she was also focused on not causing unnecessary conflict. She didn't know how well these Servants would get along, and it could have ended very, very badly...]
eighteen_winters: (huh?)

As long as everyone's safety can be assured, a meeting seems like a decent idea to me.

[They're just trippin' over Saber clones here, huh?]

Mm, indeed. Especially since there are much more important things to focus our energy on... like fighting back against the administrators and their cruel experiments.

I've been able to gather one or two facts in the months I've been here. For the sake of any others that may be as new as you are, I'll hold off mentioning that until this proposed meeting, if that's all right with you. Perhaps the others who have been here for some time might know something as well...

[She trails off, then frowns.] There is no pattern, no. All the more reason to be on your guard at all times, don't you think? And others in the tower were able to stop an experiment before, so I'm certain it can happen again.

I didn't know there was more than one...

The one with the tentacle thing in the river! That can't have happened more than once, right?
nonacquiescent: (temporarily; architects of the world)

video; threadjacking up in here because as if he'd wait to ask later

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2012-11-18 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Ryuunosuke? Really, you were in the Grail War?

[But which Master could he have been if it's the fourth? He knows who was Master to Saber, Archer, Lancer, Berserker, Assassin...it's only Caster's he hasn't met by now, and obviously from his helpfulness Ryuunosuke doesn't seem like it's even possible he could be Caster's Master. So...was there another war where something like that happened?]
kindofademon: (Helpful~ If you know what I mean)

video; let's make the horrible happen now

[personal profile] kindofademon 2012-11-18 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Not like I was active, I let Caster take care of most of it.

[He shrugs, saying 'what can you do'.] Oh, but it's not like it didn't come to me ever. Some Master came and ruined all our art.
nonacquiescent: (you got all that you want)

video; already sobbing

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2012-11-18 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
...C-Caster...?

[No, that can't possibly be the Caster of the fourth war...right? Even if - 'some Master came and ruined all our art'...!]

Where...exactly was your 'art'?
kindofademon: (Explaining~ Let the bodies hit the floor)

video; <3

[personal profile] kindofademon 2012-11-18 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
In an underground tanker. But it's not like we could've put it just anywhere, you know.

What's with that face?
nonacquiescent: (Architects of the world)

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2012-11-18 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, no matter how much it sounds like it, he has to be mistaken, hadn't Caster said his name multiple times? Gilles de Rais, right? He wanted to see Jeanne d'Arc, so it was definitely Gilles de Rais.

He bites his lip hard, hardly able to force the question out.]

...Caster's name, what was it?
kindofademon: (Frowning~ Magic from the hand)

video;

[personal profile] kindofademon 2012-11-18 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Bluebeard or something like that - I just called him 'sir' since he was so cool. Wasn't that based on some French guy?
nonacquiescent: (I don't mean to be a dick)

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2012-11-18 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[It only takes Waver a moment to connect the dots - why did he have to be wellread? No, why would someone who helped him and seemed so amicable do something like that? How could anyone at all find it in themself to kill so many, so brutally, children no less, treat them like objects and call it art?

Just to remember what he found in Caster's hideout nearly brings him to vomit, but he holds it back. Though overwhelming tears are something he can't suppress. He tries to speak up, but he can't stop choking on his tears to do that.]
kindofademon: (Wowed~ You wanted in)

[personal profile] kindofademon 2012-11-18 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oi. Oi. Even if you've got a problem with me I don't like to see that kind of thing. Somebody give that guy a hug, okay?
nonacquiescent: (I walk your streets)

That's all you have to say?! How can you be that casual?! Why would you help me if you have such twisted hobbies?!

A meeting? Seriously?

That's a bad idea. Man, it's a terrible idea.

[ Sorry Rider, but all you get out of this girl is erratic laughter. It's not that she finds it humorous (a small twisted part of her does), but the thought of gathering everyone together at once? Oh it makes her job so much easier. ]

What it means for us? [ Trying to calm her laughter enough to speak. ]

First of all, I'm your senpai here, even more now that I know we're from the same world. I've got responsibilities.

Second! Even if I killed you here you'd still come back, and I can't do a thing with the body. So what are you complaining for? It's not as big a deal, right?

[not here]

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-11-18 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Rin is EXACTLY why Saber is watching this post but not saying anything. She knows this beast well knowing her own master...

She may be formulating some plans now.]

All right. If you can live up to that promise, I will attend the meeting. That is if my onii-chan and mom are as well.
