For [community profile] imperial_saga!

*Critical note, applies to all prompts: In this AU, Lina Inverse was a famous/feared sorceress a few centuries ago. Now, however? She's a Heroic Spirit in a Holy Grail War. Namely, Caster.*

(1)

*You have just summoned a Caster for the latest Holy Grail War. This teenager looks more or less the part... You guess.*

So, you're the schmuck who I gotta work for this time around?

Let's go get something to eat while we talk shop about how to win this.

I'm Caster, by the way.

(2)

*Perhaps you've spotted someone who is in the middle of eating a table's worth of food in an inn. Or perhaps she just wrecked an entire troupe of bandits in front of you. Either way, Caster's there, and she doesn't seem to feel like fighting you, even if you're one of the other servants or masters.*

(3)

*Now, however? Caster actually almost looks serious. She's ready to fight, and she's sizing you up. You may want to be careful... Or maybe not. Since when were Casters good in close combat, after all?*

(4)
*Gag Prompt - any threads here should not be counted for serious testrunning. Recommended for any fourth-wall-savvy characters.*


This Testrun post's just too serious. Wanna go off and get something to eat instead?

...you're quite certain that you're a Heroic Spirit.

[ No, even though Caster would logically be a bit smaller and frailer than the others, this isn't remotely what she expected. ]

... Well, yeah.

I mean, you summoned me using a ritual that calls Heroic Spirits from the Throne of Heroes, right? The logical result is that the beauty who appears before you with all sorts of magically-borne special effects is, in fact, a Heroic Spirit.

[ Beauty? Oh joy she got a vain one. ]

I would imagine more grandiosity from a summoned hero. Perhaps a more intimidating appearance, though looks often deceive.

I'd actually think it kind of odd if a Caster was extremely intimidating-looking. We're not exactly supposed to be raw muscle, after all.

There's more to it than size; I expect that a Caster would be somewhat physically inept compared to the the other classes. You could perhaps be a bit... darker, though.

... What is that supposed to mean?

You called me a schmuck and then said that we should go get something to eat. That's about as casual as it gets.
pink_dragon_spooker: (I know all of it!)

[personal profile] pink_dragon_spooker 2012-02-12 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Really, what's the point of a buncha ceremony with something like this? Nah, better to get right to the best part of being alive again, then figure out how to win so I can keep enjoying it!
armstronger: <lj user=hinata> (Oh look a bird)

[personal profile] armstronger 2012-02-12 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ She sighs. Lina actually has a point. ]

I suppose we'll go get something to eat, then, and I suppose I'm paying.

The one thing the summoning doesn't provide that it really should - some money for the servant to cover their own meals.

... Then again, you'd probably have a bunch of Masters trying to summon people just for the money that way. I know I'd do that.
armstronger: <lj user=hinata> (Arms crossed)

[personal profile] armstronger 2012-02-12 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. Anyone who summoned a servant for such a reason deserves to have the other masters and servants coming after them.

Fortunately, I'm well enough off.
pink_dragon_spooker: (Come on lemme have it please!)

[personal profile] pink_dragon_spooker 2012-02-12 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
... I can already tell you and I are going to get along excellently.
armstronger: <lj user=hinata> (Sick of this shit)

[personal profile] armstronger 2012-02-12 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
If you pull your own weight, then you won't be in want of food. If you don't live up to my expectations, you'll starve.
pink_dragon_spooker: (I know all of it!)

[personal profile] pink_dragon_spooker 2012-02-12 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
That'll be no problem for the great...

...


*She sighs.*

... The great Caster. I always hate that part.

Regardless of who you are, I expect results - and being a Heroic Spirit you should be able to deliver.
pink_dragon_spooker: (You're being annoying again.)

[personal profile] pink_dragon_spooker 2012-02-12 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it. I've got the right kinda spells for besting any of the Heroic Spirits.

[personal profile] armstronger 2012-02-12 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
You won't be fighting alone. No matter how legendary they are, I would be surprised if I couldn't fight toe to toe with them.
pink_dragon_spooker: (Default)

[personal profile] pink_dragon_spooker 2012-02-12 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
A melee type, then?

Perfect.
armstronger: <lj user=hinata> (Oh look a bird)

[personal profile] armstronger 2012-02-12 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Most other classes would've been entirely redundant as a servant for myself.
