Hello. My name is Rin Tohsaka. Yesterday I travelled to the desert in an attempt to locate information that could assist LILITH with research about the kaiju. In my search, I found a large area the locals call Qattara, which is the site of research projects from before the kaiju started appearing. The area is now populated by several large sand crocodiles and the locals refuse to go near it. However as the site may contain information about what has happened with the kaiju attacks I wish to return to see if there is anything worth bringing back. A solo expedition would be incredibly dangerous so I'm hoping to find a few volunteers to go with me. Please let me know if you're interested.

[ there's a short pause and then: ]

Muramasa, you're coming with me. I don't want to hear any arguments.

ANNENDUM: Our standby team is requesting someone with the ability to teleport and/or move across great distances. If you'd like to volunteer, please let myself or Doctor Ratio know. Thank you.

( ooc; as of 10p CST we are full up!! feel free to respond but rin will have to politely decline this time, i'm sorry )

oh, that
it's because he's a saber, so i know he'll be good in a fight, if it comes to that
that's all.

[fursuit]

saber huh? is that what he told you?

[thighhighs]

huh? no, but...
muramasa, likes swords... what else would he be?

[fursuit]

normally? yeah probably. but he's an alter ego this time around

unless LILITH managed to tweak spirits down to that level I guess but considering they can't even manage a proper summoning in the first place I'm gonna guess not

course not that it matters all that much since that system is bullshit in the first place in my opinion

[thighhighs]

[ It takes her a few minutes to reply, partially because she's staring at Tezcat's message in stunned silence and partially because she's sifting through all of her knowledge of Servants, Grail Wars, and everything else, only to come up empty. ]

I've never heard of an Alter Ego.

[fursuit]

that so? guess your circumstances as a master were more the typical then. overall a better thing though since if any of the extra classifications get involved you really know things have gone to shit

anyways alter egos are what you get if a saint graph gets complicated enough for part of it to be able to be split off as a completely different entity

course you'll have to ask him about that since I don't know why his is different exactly. assume it has to do with his former boss but that's just a guess on my part

[thighhighs]

You know Muramasa?
Who was his boss?

[ Did he mean Master? No, with how he's speaking, he would have said so. Rin glances over at the Servant resting on her shoulder. ]

If this is some kind of prank, it's not a very good one.

[fursuit]

hahaha

I have a feeling I'm about to get the guy into trouble

[ yippee!!! ]

let me back up a little bit first since I'm getting ahead of myself. or it's easier to wrap your head around the whole situation if you start from square one

I'm a servant myself technically speaking but that's more of a case of having to force a round peg into a square hole. class doesn't matter since I can change it to pretty much whatever I feel like

I'm Tezcatlipoca. I assume I don't need to explain who I am beyond that, right?

[thighhighs]

[ She's doing that mental look up again, but she's still out of her depth. She doesn't know much, but what she does know: ]

A Mesoamerican god, with a connection to magecraft.
But it's not possible to summon Divine Spirits—ah.

[ she just remembered eresh and ishtar ]

So do you have a vessel, too?

[fursuit]

[ Finally, at least someone knows who he is!!!! But he is also playing this cool. Naturally. ]

well I'm an exception even among the divine spirits that manage to find loopholes with the throne

so I've got a vessel but it's not a loaner so to speak. made this one myself. hell even got into an argument with the counter force about it

it's a battle for the end of the world so I descended to observe it. my guy's got one idea for it. muramasa's boss has got another. could say we're enemies but it's more complicated than that

[thighhighs]

When you say 'boss', you don't mean Master, do you.
Extra classes are incredibly rare, and most Masters don't have enough mana to even summon one.
So who's his boss? Or do you not want to tell me because you're the bad guy?

[fursuit]

haha nah it's nothing like that. part of it's just that I don't even know the answer myself exactly on account of not having met her yet

she calls herself the god of an alien world and there's some truth to that. best I can guess is that she's a vessel for the intent of another world

so yeah. mana's no problem for a god. hell I made a saint graph for a servant myself so it's not even hard if you know what you're doing

[thighhighs]

Wait, hold on.
You created a Saint Graph?!

[fursuit]

wouldn't have expected that to be the more interesting part

but yeah sure did. used an elemental as its core but bestowing it with all its power necessary to be summoned was me playing fast and loose with the rules. luckily extraordinary circumstances mean extraordinary loopholes

she's tlaloc, huitzilopochtli, and tenochtitlan all in one. my cute little sister (diy version)

[thighhighs]

I've never heard of anyone creating a Saint Graph, before.
But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a Divine Spirit could do it.
But more importantly:
You said that your boss and Muramasa's boss are opposed about the fate of the world. And his boss is some kind of alien god.
But you don't know what their objective is. Am I understanding correctly?

[fursuit]

I know what their objective is. more or less anyways. it's more that I know the end result and what that means

but with no offense to you since doesn't seem like you're tangled up in it. but can't tell you in detail. ereshkigal is part of the puzzle here too. and it's important that there are no spoilers when it comes to the future that she and her master have yet to experience

but this is a matter of the Human Order

the fate of that World has ripple effects on all others

a real shitshow to put it lightly!

[thighhighs]

Yeah, no kidding.
You've given me a lot to consider. Thank you for the information.

[fursuit]

hahaha

yeah that's the number one thing I have on offer even since way back in the day. big questions to keep you up at night

anyways

now that we're pals [ ??? according to who ] I'll just say that your alternate self that I ran into tried to recruit me as and then turned me down when I gave a "maybe". funny shit gotta say. so any version of you has got my favor

take that as you will

[thighhighs]

well
sorry to disappoint
but i have someone else in mind for a contract

not here.

[misclassed]

[ GIRL, THE ALLEGATIONS


WE'RE NEVER GONNA BEAT THEM LIKE THIS ]

[fursuit]

not disappointed at all. figured it was muramasa

besides after I thought about it comes out to a "no" anyways. still got my deal to deliver on with my guy. would feel weird taking up another contract before I've finished his
