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.

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.]

[fionnuisce]

Good to know we're on the same page.

[puppy_lancer]

we both know the guy
why wouldn't we be on the same page

[fionnuisce]

Point taken.

[puppy_lancer]

hey your his master in your world right?
i think you can hellp him better than i can
he seems to do better with following orders

[fionnuisce]

I was, at one point.

But I'm not just going to assume such a role automatically. If he wants me to act as his Master, that's his choice. Even so, I'd still treat him as an equal rather than a Servant.

[puppy_lancer]

if you really think that
then i'd say he'd be even happier as your partner

[fionnuisce]

I would hope so.

[puppy_lancer]

hey can you keep a really close eye on him during april
like, during the middle of the month
order him around a bit
since
well
i'm kinda busy then

[fionnuisce]

Do I even want to know?

[puppy_lancer]

it's nothing too dangerous
and diarmuid knows i'm doing it
just watch him so he doesn't do it too

[fionnuisce]

Okay, now I'm just flat-out curious. What are you up to?

[puppy_lancer]

just one of jason's experiments

[fionnuisce]

What? I thought he wasn't in control this month.

[puppy_lancer]

that's why i said april
his turn next next month
