SECOND WISH ♔ ( AMBER )

[Saber's face immediately appears on the amber surface and, from behind her, there are glimpses of Chime's recently opened shop.]

Good morning. To those who were not aware, the spirit known as Chime has just opened her shop and brought wares that are not available to us in the tree. [She is inwardly pleased to know that means this creature too can leave the tree somehow, but she will try to communicate with her later.] However, these items are not free and we cannot afford them alone. Their stock seems to be very limited as well. The answer is obvious, many of us surely have concluded that the solution is reuniting with close allies to purchase the desired ware with them, but I will suggest something else.

[She has been speaking about this matter with some people already, but she has had no time to propose an assembly outdoors to discuss the organization overall they could have to improve their lives and call a vote. She pauses to make her proposal.]

There are basic items such as food or the string of yarn, among others, that are of a general interest. Why do not we, the potential purchasers, donate them in benefit of all of us? We should assign a space as a storeroom to keep all what belongs the community and be sure that they are given a fair use.

[If this is accepted, she will bring up the delegated tasks for those who are specialized in different fields to optimize their lifestyles. Because raw ingredients could be better utilized in hands of good cooks than inexpert ones.]

If you do not agree, it is fine. I only wanted to address that, for the time being, we are expected to live together and a cohesive group stands stronger than one that lives with cordial divisions.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

There will be other matters, more specific to address, but those should be spoken face to face in a gathering among all of us.

[ She thinks about how they are using the space, how to re-arrange it to keep the weaker in protected, middle areas, surrounded by the stronger fighters on the top and bottom floors. But such concerns are left to decide as community. Together.

Arturia has no intention to rule this place, she only wants to push people to organize among themselves, understanding not everyone has the same experience of administration nor should they have. She can counsel and propose ideas, but they can only make it happen if they adhere with her suggestions. The number is reduced enough to exercise a government like the one in Ancient Athens through open discussion and vote. ]

I agree, this is why we should meet and speak of this at once.

[ It is better to prevent than to solve hastily in middle of a crisis. ]

[It maybe better not to enforce one ruler, not only out personal wants. The fighting over who it would be it would be chaos. He doesn't care so much, but he wants to rule Kou and only Kou...well, and maybe his own world. He doesn't want to stay here long enough to add this tree to the list.]

As a group? How would we get everyone in one place? Is there a place big enough?

And what would be said? Live and let live?

Hm. Of course there is. Should we gather, we would meet outside the tree.

[ She assents. ]

No, that attitude would not help if we are serious about regulations to avoid chaos. [ It speaks of an incredible indifference and fear of commitment too. ] We must decide on law and punishment in case it is broken.

[ The sentences vary in gravity depending their society which is exactly the kind of dissonance she wants to avoid when a crisis emerges. It is better to be clear beforehand. And her Alignment is Lawful, she cannot help but thinking laws should be maintained. Law, order and a few established systems would be the best legacy left behind if more are captured after they escape. ]

That would work weather permitting.

[Maybe he wasn't clear enough, but as long as actions at home and viewed as actions at home, he, well, he doesn't really care either way. He can just see it becoming a problem.

He's much more chaotic. As long as things are going roughly the same way he is then fine and dandy. It's when they start taking turns in the different directions things get complicated.]

If there is a storm, it could be postponed until the weather favors us again.

[Although she doesn't care about the weather, most surely do.]

The snow? It's still cooler at night.

[think ahead he does. Since he's been sleeping sparingly and pretty much where he can find a safe place the fact it's still chilly at night hasn't gone past his notice.]

We would meet while it's daylight. The weather has been mild during this week, we should not worry so much.

[She tilts her head. His comment makes her suspicious.]

Where have you been staying, Ren?

Where I find myself.

[He should find out where Judar is staying or something but for the moment he's stuck to exploring when he's awake. Which is more often then not. He's not the world's greatest sleeper.]

Why?

[As she suspected.]

Because one of those glow worms could help you to keep the place you have chosen to dwell warm.

[Silent advice. If he falls ill, he will be in trouble.]

[He really didn't plan on being here long and for all he wonders over other's health his own well being has fallen to the wayside, in some areas. He wouldn't have lost what he has if he were more concerned.]

Glow worms?

They are worms that glow providing warmth and light.

[She describes them.]

These creatures are very docile and they seem willing to cooperate with us.

They sound like a small, tame, dungeon creature.

[Weird with a weird ability. He hasn't really been inside a house.]

It's something that can used at least.

Hm. I do not think they would be in dungeons, they are more insects that live mostly in caves and woodland areas.

[She doesn't know what you mean with "dungeons", Hakuryuu.]

[Whoops, he ought to know that. Really, he should have figured out by now that no one he's mentioned that too has known what he means. In his mind that's a pathetic thing to forget so constantly.]

A Djinn's Dungeon not the one were prisoners are kept. They have many forms and many strange creatures. A Prisoner's Dungeon would be like a cave.

[She blinks as if that description is still useless.]

Djinns? Nature Spirits of the Middle East? I did not know they had the habit of trapping people in dungeons.

[If she vaguely recalls the lessons Merlin taught her about different classifications, she could have sworn they were wind spirits.]

[He blinks too. Are Djinn different in each world too?]

Some of them can be. There are more types then just that. Some are fire, lightning or water. They seem to come in all elements.

Only some do that as well, most go into the dungeon in the hopes of capturing the Djinn and having it's power for themselves. Some have even managed to capture more then one, but that number is small.

Hm. I see then you label Djinns to all Nature Spirits?

[At least he is not insulting the name of fairies like that girl she met once did.]

Capturing? Ah, so they want to turn them into their familiars?

[He's also never realized how misleading 'capture' is until now.]

Familiars?

If you make it to the Djinn's room and they agree, then they house themselves in Metal Vessels and grant that person their power. It's referred to as the 'Power of Kings' in my world and those with one are often kings or royalty.

With them one has the power to change the world..or at least that's what we're told.

[As far as he knows only he's ever forced the issue. Sinbad didn't start out Royalty but he had since become one of the best known kings in the world.]

Familiars are the assistants to the Magi. Depending of the magus' power, they create simple animal familiars for errands, though the most powerful ones can summon demons or spirits to establish a contract with them that would be of mutual benefit.

[This includes them, the Heroic Spirits.

She listens his tale. She does not think he is lying, although it is different, she has come to understand there is so many things that are different than the reality she is used to.]

"Power of Kings?" Who told you this? [She is more curious about the source of the claim and if such thing is truly something that is legitimate.] Do all Kings need of these Vessels in order to rule?

[It's a strange thing for a magi to do, he's never heard of it. His world is different from hers.]

Magi do this?

No, not all Kings require them. The tide of battles is greatly influenced by they presence of Metal Vessel users. Armies without them tend to fall behind.

The Magi told us when the first Dungeon was conquered. Kou's Magi has a tendency to raise a great many of dungeon. Kou had 6 metal vessel users.

[Then he split off and split the country. So now it's literally him against his world...or at least the rest of his family.]

Yes.

[She nods. Who else would do it? They are the ones who know summoning rituals. She does not say anything else about that in deference to Rin favoring discretion.]

I understand. Because they have a greater weapon, they would be victorious in battles. Though, does this make these "Metal Vessels" truly worthwhile rulers?

[This is why she wanted to know who told Ren this.]

Power alone is not enough to grant anyone the right to rule. Even if it is sometimes required to preserve and protect the territory.

Most of them.

[Kou is the only one that seems to be having issues, but that's all Gyokuen's fault. His mother or no, he feels no remorse for what he did. The "good" Kou is doing is also debatable. Their method, to him, wrong in a number of ways.]

Power and Heritage make a very convincing argument.

[Though he's lost a large chunk of his power recently, it's changed the plans he's using and not the direction.]

It is a convincing argument, though it is not all there is. [Mordred would have never been a King, even with all her might and Arturia's blood coursing her veins. Her temper and her charisma were unfit to become a ruler.] Perhaps it is best to leave this discussion for later.

[She abruptly says. It is discomfortingly familiar and she will prefer to avoid the argument through this crystal.

Since she has obtained the items she sought.]

What is your current location?

[He'd forgotten about that. It's probably an argument best avoided as the mention of his cousins tends to turn his vision red. He'd never wanted to be king, it's the path he has to take to return Kou to it's former glory. To the hands it belonged too.

If being king and following a fallen magi were required for that, so be it. Though it's part of his goals now.]

The sixth floor.

Edited (oopes wrong floor.) 2015-04-23 06:23 (UTC)

I will be there shortly.

[She will have to carry the bacon and egg first and leave them to the care of her friends and allies and then another stop.]

(ooc; Saber will insist to help him with the worm and bring food from the second floor spread. Do you want to handwave or play it here?).
