[Game 21] That Night

[arsgoetia]

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

I do not mind. You don't seem the type to use them inappropriately. Ah, this does mean, though, that you're officially my Master. So I should also introduce myself properly, I think. My true name is Arthur Pendragon.

[his eyes go wide]

For real?

[onelastknight]

For real. Right now, I've been summoned as a Saber-class Servant, wielding the holy sword Excalibur. [ MAKES IT VISIBLE FOR A BIT TO SHOW U. ITS GOLD AND GLOWS AND GOOD GOD THATS LITERALLY EXCALIBUR. ]

Ohh . . .

[onelastknight]

[ now it's invisible again. putting it away ]

So I'm confident that I'll be able to help with the tasks at hand.
