[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???"

In the end, you found your way where the rest of us failed.

Still...I am glad things turned out as they did.

[onelastknight]

[ yeah only cuz i killed more than half of you ] ... Yes. Ah, but perhaps... more pressingly... we've both been summoned again, but not for a Grail War...?

[beginningofwisdom]

[nods, thoughtfully]

That young man seems to have summoned us all, for a purpose he has yet to reveal. And he's made a contract with no one, yet.

[onelastknight]

... I don't think most of this group are Heroic Spirits, either.

[beginningofwisdom]

And only a few are magi. Some seem possessed, or as though they could be spirits of some kind...but as for Servants, it seems to be only you and I.

[onelastknight]

How strange...

[beginningofwisdom]

Agreed. It seems we were all rather unexpected, which is just as strange.

[onelastknight]

An accidental summoning...? I suppose it's not impossible.

[beginningofwisdom]

Not accidental, I don't think, but unanticipated. And I see no evidence of a catalyst or spell diagram...

[onelastknight]

[ at least it's not somehow manaka doin' it. ]

... Unanticipated and unplanned. We seem to be a bit inconvenient right now, although I've been told that they have summoned groups on purpose before, to help with problems?

[beginningofwisdom]

[don't even joke. :(]

I've heard the same. Well, if that's the case then I won't object to being useful.

[onelastknight]

I certainly have no objections to helping solve problems.

[beginningofwisdom]

As expected of you.

[is he teasing very gently? maybe he is.]

[onelastknight]

[ h-hey ]

Well— as long as we've already been summoned, there seems to be no harm in it...

[beginningofwisdom]

I certainly don't disagree.
