Week 4

[lockdownmods]

[ It's now Week 4 at Fayflower University. With the new week comes another memory, and a new floor to explore. That's nice, after everything, right? Right, of course it is.

However, other things have changed besides the floor access. The wall has always been a point of contention after the fiasco in week one. And then the frog, and now the investigation. However, going within three feet of the wall is oppressive now, in feeling. It feels as though you're being watched-- and targeted for something.

Be careful~]

What Illyasviel [ he usually never uses her full first name, but... does he really deserve to call her Illya? ] told me was that... the War is a ritual to achieve a miracle. The Third Magic -- Heaven's Feel -- which is the materialization of the soul. The Holy Grail War was meant as an application to allow someone to have eternal life. However, since the Grail itself is just a swirl of magic, it could be used to grant a person's wish.

But that wish wouldn't be properly granted in the end, due to the fact that the grail was corrupted to begin with.

In the end, all the Masters were used as tools for the summoning ritual. Because they needed the souls of the Heroic Spirits to recreate the Third Magic.

[ tl;dr: The three founding families of the War fucking suck. ]

It wasn't just a single person who did that -- it was many people. They needed a scapegoat and just a random person for it. And that's how he became Angra Mainyu. He took on everyone's sins and died with those sins carved onto his body. [ He's stating this rather matter of factly. ] As for the Fuyuki Fire... no, he didn't have any control over it. At that point, Angra Mainyu was just simply as I said before. He didn't have any shape or form. He was simply a hollow shell. One without a personality, or name, or even a real body.

That could be possible. If I'm a completely new person. I'd... like that. But I can't stay like this forever. I promised that we'd one day find the object that turned off everyone's abilities and either turn it off or destroy it. And when that happens, I probably won't be able to hold onto this form.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[A wish... well... it makes sense why people would wage a war over such a thing.]

Then at worst the Fuyuki Fire was Involuntary Manslaughter. But really... can you even be blamed for those deaths anymore? If Angra Mainyu wasn't sentient... then wasn't he just essentially the weapon used to cause the Fuyuki Fire? Shouldn't the one who released him be blamed?

[As for the object that turned off everyone's abilities....]

That object... do we even know exactly how it works? Depending on how it does... there could be ways we could work around it. Everything has limitations... and I'm sure this object probably has them too.

[It could have an specific range... or it could be modified to target only Shirou/Angra. Or... God, Poe knows he's reaching, but if it's possible, then he does not want to loose someone he actually cares about to something other than murder. If there's a possibility for Shirou/Angra to live... then he's going to try and find it.....]

[swordsinternally]

It's true that he was summoned on purpose, as they wanted to win the war. But... they didn't know that the grail would get tainted when he lost due to being so weak.

[ He shakes his head, however. ]

I don't know. What I do know is that... I don't want my powers to be sealed just simply to keep me around.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

....I see.

[He's... not happy with this answer... but... it's not his choice in the end.]

So.... then the you we know now... will either disappear at the end of this... or die here.

[Both terrible options.]

[swordsinternally]

I'd say either option is fine, but... it's only natural that someone who was nothing to begin with would only return to nothing, right? That's why I can't hesitate any longer. I've decided.

I want to spend the most time with everyone before either of those things happen.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

If that is your decision.... then I'll respect it.

[This is fine. Right. Well. Time to ask the other probably important question this brings up.]

Right... um.... do... do you... do you still want to be called Emiya Shirou... or do you want to be called something else?

[swordsinternally]

Ah... my name, huh?

[ He shrugs. ] I'm not particularly attached to either of my names. So the name of the host is fine.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Alright... Emiya-san.

[He pauses.]

Are you... are you planning on telling the others?

[swordsinternally]

Of course. I'm planning on telling them on Wednesday. After all... we're stronger together and not apart. I can't have something like this rip me apart. Rip all of us apart.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... Know that whatever the others think I.... I will... I'll stand by you.

[He sounds awkward, but he means it.]

[swordsinternally]

You're the second person that's acknowledged me, so... thank you.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

There is no need Emi.... Shirou-san. You... you should be acknowledged.

[swordsinternally]

Not everyone would think that. But... I appreciate it. Really.
