[center] [h1][color=a187be]Nenet Isis Titania[/color][/h1] [h3]Bellagio[/h3] [hr] [/center] A laugh was just barely held back, upon seeing the unease of her Servant at the sight of that clay|Hollow. Right, Saber was a 'demon', but of a completely different make and model- really, calling what she was and calling what Nenet created by the same word was solely a factor of language, rather than function. [color=a187be]"Don't worry about these, Saber. I told you, right? My magecraft is about 'wishes'. A wish is something that we dream up, a blessing|curse we let loose onto the world. A humanity without wishes grows stagnant, keels over, and dies from neglect. This unit|self of mine, this magecraft|defiance I have created, is designed to prevent such a thing. Using this clay|falsehood, I grant|materialize wishes."[/color] The hazy 'thing' she had ben shaping floated down, down near those devices that were bubbling out more of the stuff, as a new design process began. [color=a187be]"Our first orders of business are simple. We amass knowledge, we prepare calculations, and we empower you into a being who can realize her own wish [i]without the use of the Holy Grail[/i]. Once that's done, we can begin the fun. We can rage around as we please, we can trade blows with legends, we can see everything they're able to dredge out. As you clash with those titans and realize your wish, then, I will witness their prayers and realize my own. Of course, we should also make some like-minded friends, since this is an invaluable networking opportunity. And if, at the end of the day, we find that we've managed to acquire that wishgranting device, all the better, but we'll have won even without it."[/color] [color=a187be][i]"Oh, things are already getting exciting."[/i][/color] Myriad thought-lines were allocated to the proceedings immediately outside, as Servants began to converge on the same location. The alchemist let out a quiet laugh at the nearby proceedings, shaking her head a bit as she thought, transmitting those thoughts to her Servant, just so the Saber was at least aware of what she was thinking. [color=a187be][i]"Let's see, quite a few futures where we're noticed, become collateral damage, or something like that. And- hm? My, my, these Servants really are interesting."[/i][/color] The laugh that slipped past her lips wasn't something she could help- the nature of these beings was muddling her calculations. Fate resistance, was that it? It wasn't that such a thing invalidated her calculations, but more that they added 'error bars'. That was fine, though. For a lesser alchemist, this would introduce more variables than could be reasonably assured, but in this case, it simply meant that she had more work to do before she reached her ideal state. [color=a187be][i]"Some observation is being blocked, like at that one place earlier. What a brutish method, but they've actually managed to catch me, so I can't say I'm not impressed."[/i][/color] Her brow furrowed. An interesting puzzle to crack. [b][Fly] [Tether] [Escape][/b] [color=a187be][i]"Anyway, Saber, this ties into what I mentioned earlier. If there's no 'victory', a member of Atlas won't fight. I'm sure that we have victories available in the possible futures here, but we don't have enough information to where I can manage all of them accordingly, so we'll be avoiding personal conflict for the time being. I realize that's a little dull, but I ask you to bear with me for the time being. If push comes to shove and we're personally attacked, we're leaving and slapping them with a parting gift to gather some more data. It won't be satisfying for us or for them, but it's better than taking an undue risk."[/i][/color] [b][Absorb] [Negate] [Endure][/b] [color=a187be][i]"For now, though, let's send out someone to make us a friend and watch the festivities! I'll let you pick, what's your favorite small animal?"[/i][/color] [@KatKook]
