[Game 21] Summoning

[arsgoetia]

For some of you, this may be a familiar feeling. For others, it's a new sensation: a tug, a pull, suddenly finding yourself slipping between the cracks and opening your eyes in someplace that was not where you were a few moments ago. It feels like getting tugged into someone's embrace: warm, a little exhilarating.

As for where you find yourselves:

It's a tidy, well-kept garden in the backyard of a small house with yellow trim. The house is a little run down, but immaculately clean and well-kept. It's a sunny day, and there are literally pies cooling on the windowsill.

There is a red-haired boy standing on the rooftop, looking down at everyone with his hands outstretched. One moment, he seems very calm. The next moment, it's sheer panic.

"Oh???"

Yes? Yes . . .

[beginningofwisdom]

I see....

[turning a bit to take in the sights]

Then it seems I am at your service, though the circumstances seem rather different than what I am used to.

[boatsights]

What—um, what is it that you're used to?

[beginningofwisdom]

Do you not know? Servants such as myself are summoned to serve in a Holy Grail War.

[boatsights]

A—Holy Grail War? . . . like with, the Knights of the Round Table? That sort of thing?

[beginningofwisdom]

[well, I MEAN]

At times. Seven magi and seven Heroic Spirits battle to possess the Holy Grail. When only one magus and one Servant remain, both may ask the Grail for a wish...or so it is said.

But it seems the circumstances here are quite different.

[boatsights]

Er. Yes. It's not the same . . . ah, there's more angels and demons, for one.

[beginningofwisdom]

Any at all would be more -- or rather, if such beings exist in the world you called me from, they've not shown themselves to humans.
