Now that I've collected what I'd evaluate as the basics of this place and how it's run, I'm curious enough to ask for a discussion of general opinions rather than concrete facts.

Particularly, regarding the supposedly confirmed ideas revolving around the state of our worlds. While the evidence supporting our homeworlds' destruction is considerable, I'd still like to hear what people think. It initially crossed my mind that it could be a very well-constructed lie, and while that has become a very distant possibility I'm hesitant to discard it altogether. And if it is in fact true, what happens then? Do you think there is a way to restore the places from which we've originated, or are we fighting for a Pyrrhic victory at best?

And that's not yet touching upon the more clearly confirmed matter of our souls and the replica forms we're using in place of our original bodies. I'd imagine this has caused existential crises aplenty, but let's put that aside for the moment. If the administrators possess the technology or magic to create such close copies, how is it they can't simply take out original bodies along with our souls in the first place And if there is a way to restore our worlds, would you logically assume that includes our original selves?

You're free to answer if you like, or ignore me altogether. It's your own choice. I can't really picture this as a simple matter to talk about without inciting a sense of dread and misery, so I'll hardly be offended if everyone shrugs this off and pretends they never saw it.

--Lord El-Melloi II

[Waver, honey. I'm sure signing your name like that is simply habit by now, but you might give your younger self a stroke.]

yeah it's a bit strange
but not completely impossible

there's what
two sabers
who look almost exactly like the one i'm talking about
only they've both got green eyes
and there one other saber
who looks like my saber
that one is male

[fionnuisce]

I should probably keep better track of just how many Servants are running around here.

[puppy_lancer]

you gotta ask Ruler for that
i think there's at least one of every class here maybe

[fionnuisce]

Great. I hope you haven't all been at each other's throats for no good reason.

'Ruler'?

[puppy_lancer]

nah we've been pretty fine
mostly
saber and i trashed a part of the cafeteria but for very good reason

shes a special servant
the grail called her up to be the moderator for the grail war
mostly she keeps tabs on us

[fionnuisce]

Wait. What? The Grail called its own moderator? How the hell does that even work?

[puppy_lancer]

hell if i know
maybe it found the priests creepy

[fionnuisce]

Honestly, I might almost find that plausible.

[puppy_lancer]

yeah anyway she keeps us in order
she's not half as hard on the eyes as the priest from my war was

if you don't wanna go to her, you might wanna try finding waver velvet
i think some of use answered his survey

[fionnuisce]

And there's the next bit of irony.

I am Waver Velvet. Older than the one I assume you're talking about and from a different world, but we're basically the same person. So we've met.

[puppy_lancer]

wait what
i thought you were lord el melloi

[fionnuisce]

I am--the second. Kayneth's successor.

[puppy_lancer]

wait so are you related to that guy after all
man you've got shitty relatives

[fionnuisce]

No, idiot. I don't have to be related to him to inherit his title, thank god.

[puppy_lancer]

oh
so you're a pretty impressive magus, right?
well, i knew you were when i heard of how you got in the grail war
but it means you learned some neat magic tricks too now
right?

[fionnuisce]

What makes you think I'm impressive?

[puppy_lancer]

aren't nobles the best magic users or something

[fionnuisce]

Every rule has exceptions, you know.

[puppy_lancer]

so you're not that strong as a magus
even though you're a lord
well at least you have a good head on your shoulders
better than that other you

[fionnuisce]

I'm strong enough to get by. And I can't really help it if I was stupid as a kid.

[puppy_lancer]

well you can't be too weak if you ended up getting rider in one world
and diarmuid in another
and yeah, aren't we all
though i think his stupid is sort of out of anyone's league

[fionnuisce]

There's a difference between strength and dumb luck.

And he'll grow out of it, for the most part.

[puppy_lancer]

in the meantime you mind watching him?
so we don't get another blowup like the last thing he did when he posted on here

[fionnuisce]

Swear you'll try to keep Diarmuid out of too much trouble and I'll do what I can.

[puppy_lancer]

deal

[Like he needed to ask.]
