{So, it's been a bit since everyone's favorite derpBAMF was on the Plane, but he's been busy trying to win a war! So to speak, anyways.

But Rider is sitting crosslegged on the Plane, polishing his armor quite diligently. Of course, he didn't really bother to put on his "modern" clothes, so he's pretty much down to his underwear. Mighty warriors do not need clothes!!}

Ha! To think that Caster would send such lowly familiars out to spy on us. No matter, I suppose, since they've been dealt with on my side. Hmmm, I would hope that no other Servants would be felled by such a simple trick, but perhaps they are not meant to participate if so. That seems to be how this game works!

{He takes another chunk of wax from his side and works on polishing another panel after finishing the first}

But it got my armor quite dirty! All the blood and flesh on it won't do at all. If Waver thinks it so foolish to polish armor made of prana, then I'll simply do it here in peace. Fair enough, I would think!

{:D polish polish polish}

[sympathetic look] Never was much of a fan of armor. Too difficult to clean. And a bit bulky.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

That's because you're a bit too small to wear it. Of no offense, of course. But it is bulky and heavy, so a good warrior has to carry it as if it were a second skin.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

None taken. [wry smile] I've never really been warrior material, honestly. I'd take running away over fighting any day. Unless I haven't got a choice.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

I can't say that I would agree with the sentiment, but if you were an enemy, I suppose it would be to my advantage!

{Laughs} But it's well enough! If every man was to be a warrior, we would have no room lefts for artists, poets, or any of the other good professions.

[Still draggin Ikki along somewhere]

Why wouldn't you clean armour?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[is dragged

but this time he has pants, and looks largely uninterested]

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

If I were to dismiss it, it would come back to me in perfect condition. But there's something much better about taking the effort to clean it myself!

{Looks between the two}

But, may I ask, why are the two of you chained together in that way? Not escaped prisoners, I would hope!

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

That's handy.


I don't know why! I don't know how to break it, either.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I guess I can understand that...

[He itches his temple.]

Don't look at me. It's probably an experiment. It's happened to some other guys too.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

{And Rider puts his hand to his chin thoughtfully}

Hmm, I would offer a Noble Phantasm to aid you, but I have a feeling it would do little. If it's put on by those who are like Gods here, even I may not be able to do much!

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

What's a Noble Phantasm?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Sounds like something out of a horror movie. Except noble.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

{Laughs}

Perhaps for some Servants it is! It's a power of a Heroic Spirit that is the strongest, or identifies us! For I, it's my noble army and my divine chariot.

[the armour catches his attention and he stops to look at it, registering and then discarding the fact that Rider's not the best dressed at the moment]

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

It's quite impressive, isn't it? Some wondered in my lifetime if my armor was crafted by Hephaestus himself!

[ex_fatalist246]

You said it's made of prana?

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I have a spiritual body, so I would have trouble easily carrying around physical armor. So this is made of magical energy, you could call it!

[ex_fatalist246]

Who crafted it?

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

I couldn't tell you, actually! I can't recall the man's name, but I doubt it would be of any relevance to you.

[ex_fatalist246]

If they're able to work with those materials, they of interest to me.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh, no, the armor wasn't made out of prana when it was created. It's just one of the items I took with me beyond the grave! That, my sword, and a few of my things that now exist as Noble Phantasms.

[ex_fatalist246]

[that's far less interesting]

I see. Thank you.

[Satoshi pulls his notebook out of his pocket and writes something in it]

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome! What do you write of that, though?

[ex_fatalist246]

Just some notes.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

...On?

[ex_fatalist246]

The rules connected to your world, mainly.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

{He considers that, then laughs}

If I didn't know any better, I would think that you were a magus! Or perhaps even another Master.

[ex_fatalist246]

I don't know what those are [except from what Argentine told him] but I'm sure I'm nothing like them.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

No magic in your blood at all?

[ex_fatalist246]

Do magu inherit their power by blood?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Not that disturbed by the state of undress since he lives with eight other teenage boys. But the armor interests him.] What's prana?

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Prana is the power used in magecraft. So, simply put, my armor is made of pure magical energy.
