Who: Caster and everyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video, accidental then intentional.
Action: Marsiva
When: Now!

[When the feed first turns on, it doesn't seem to have been done so intentionally. Nothing's moving on the screen, not much is happening. The lights are dimmed, and there's a pink-haired girl with fox ears and a big fluffy tail staring blankly at the windows

In fact, she's so still it almost seems hard to tell that it's a video and not a still image, until she finally says something, to herself since she's unaware of the camera.]

Once again, to be taken from their side before the end... I suppose this is punishment.

[But rather than expanding on that, she just flicks her tail idly, and it knocks the communicator down, ending the feed in a crash of static.]

[When the feed starts back up a couple hours later, there's a broad smile across her face, perky and peppy enough to make it seem like the previous broadcast never happened.]

Sent from the moon to debut among the stars, the lovely fox wife, Servant: Caster makes her appearance! ♥

... Or so I'd like to say, but honestly, this is the strangest summoning I've ever been through. I think I've gotten the basics, like that there's no Holy Grail War, or any Grail itself, for that matter. Honestly, I'm surprised, but I'm not unhappy to be summoned to a place like this! The SF trend isn't really my thing, though. I know that's what's popular these days, but really, the decoration could use some work, but it beats that fake school. And I'm not sure why someone like me would get summoned for a reality TV show...

But, anyway, all of that is beside the point. It seems like my contract is gone, so... Does anyone know what happens to a Servant without a Master here? I think this is something of an unprecedented situation.

And, for those of you watching at home, be sure to keep watching and support your cute Caster! And for the sponsors, be sure to send fried tofu!

[With a cheerful wave, she cuts the feed.]

((permissions!))

[It's a good thing this is voice, because Jon spends a minute just gaping at the--the tail, and the pink hair, and the fox ears. Then he gets his bearings, reminds himself that he has seen stranger things and should not stare at people no matter if they have a tail or not, at least she's not a wight, and answers:]

Holy what? [Jon Snow still knows nothing, apparently.] And as far as I can tell, the Atroma doesn't seem to care if you're not very entertaining. [A shrug, not that it's seen.] You'd think they'd pay more attention to that, but they took me some months ago, so.

[Welcome to the animes, Jon Snow.

She leaves it at voice, because it's easier than messing with the communicator to switch it back to video.]

Holy Grail War. Or just the Holy Grail itself? Which part?

Well, that's unfortunate. But, I can't blame them for wanting someone this cute on their show! ♥ Ah, I wonder if Master could watch this?

Both parts. [You're in for it now, Snow.]

Mayhaps they might. I'm not so certain, as far as I can tell none of us have ever heard of this show before we were pulled here, so perhaps their reach isn't as wide as they say.

Mm, well... The Holy Grail and the War are... Well, they're boring, so never mind on those parts!

That's true... When I get summoned, I'm supposed to be granted information on the era automatically, but everything I heard before never mentioned this.

[Dryly:] As it so happens, I've got more than enough time on my hands, so bore me all you like.

How does summoning you work, usually?

Are you just going to keep asking until I tell you? [Her voice makes it clear she's pouting.]

Usually the summoning ritual is just managed entirely by the Moon Cell.

Aye. [He can practically hear the pout in her tone, so he matches it with his own blunt tone.]

A--Moon Cell. [A long, long pause, then a sigh, as if he can't really believe what he's going to say next:] I'm guessing this isn't actually a jail on the moon. [Because that's what cells are, in his experience, but he's not too sure what the moon or a jail would have to do with summoning somebody.]

You know, girls don't like guys that stubborn. You're definitely single, aren't you?

Well... I suppose it depends on how you define a jail. The SE.RA.PH system specifically does things like the summoning of Servants, though.

[It's not exactly a jail, but she remembers the people who didn't want to be there... Well, if she couldn't escape it with her Master, then maybe it's close enough.]

I suppose it's just as well I took vows never to marry, then.

[It still didn't stop him from breaking them with Ygritte while undercover, but that's a whole other and incredibly complicated mess.]

Is even jail so different on other worlds? I know it to be somewhere you keep someone accused of a crime--does this Moon Cell or--Seraph [the word comes out oddly, as if he's trying it out for the first time] work the same way?

Ehh, what, are you a monk? Be careful you don't end up burned inside a bell, then.

[She's pretty sure if this guy doesn't know about Servants, he probably won't understand the reference, so she's just amusing herself at this point.]

It doesn't work that way, you enter willingly. But you know, you're asking a lot of questions for someone who won't even show their own face.

A man of the Night's Watch. [At least he used to be, but he's not sure now.] I've been burned before, but never inside a bell.

[A breath.] All right, then. If I show you what I look like, will you keep answering? And mayhaps I might even answer some of yours--does that seem fair to you?

Eh, 'night watch'?

Well, if you answer my questions, I might answer yours. But I won't talk about the things I don't want to talk about.

[ Kotoha staaaares at the feed for a very long moment... But once she's done staring, and has snapped herself back to the here-and-now with a few shakes of her head, she opens up her own video connection to the newcomer! ]

Ahh... kitsune?

[ Girl comes from a town half-full of demons, okay? She's got questions! ]

Yes, that's right! I, Caster, am the cutest and cleverest fox around!

[she does a little twirl, before bowing with her sleeves dangling.]

But, it's rude to ask that without introducing yourself first, isn't it?

'Lovely fox wife'...? [There's a lot going on here, Yuri's not sure what to start with first.]

You're taking this all well. [It's a little impressive, honestly, and it cuts out some of what she might need to try and explain, so she focuses on something else:] What usually happens to a... Servant without a Master? [She assumes it's something of a Big Deal if Caster's mentioned it]

That's right!

[She goes from cheerful to pouting at the second part.]

Well, without a Master to provide magical power for us, we can't exist in the world, usually.

[Yuri considers this for a moment] I doubt this place would bring you here just for you to die or disappear right away... They must have something that'll keep you going.

[Though she definitely wouldn't be able to say what, her science knowledge pretty much begins and ends there.]

It probably wouldn't help to worry about it; so long as you're still alive somehow, it's fine, right? Unless you can find a Master here, but... [She's not sure what the criteria is for that anyhow, but it kills her to not be able to help out.]

Well, it would be less 'dying' and more 'fading away'... I'm not sure what exactly that 'something' besides a Master could be.

I am still alive right now, but if my magic reserves run out, I'm not sure what happens in this kind of a situation. Usually if we lose our Master, it's instant deletion.

[ Oh no she is cute that's totally not a lie djfskl ]

Ahh, sorry, sorry! I just didn't expect to meet a kitsune around here. [ Beat. ] In hindsight, I'm not sure why that seemed like something I wouldn't expect. But! I didn't.

Anyway! I'm Kotoha. [ A nod, and a small! ] You said your name is Caster, right? Welcome to, ah, space.

This place seems to operate way outside the norm... I've already stopped questioning the 'how' too much. [She's been here like two weeks and she's already Tired Of It.

Yuri ponders this for a moment, concerned. Again, she's sure this place wouldn't kidnap someone away that would be... 'deleted' so soon and so easily, but then, what does she know? Maybe there's ~drama~ in that.]

Is there a way to add to your reserves without a Master, specifically?

Well... It's not like there's no way, but...

[Her tone makes it clear it's probably not good.]

But...?

[Yuri has a feeling she's going to regret asking, but curiosity overrides the whole 'ignorance is bliss' idea.]

Caster is my class. My true name is something much cuter, but regrettably, as a Servant, I must conceal my name.

[Or not regrettably at all, considering how anyone would react if they found out. Still, better to pretend it's sad- After all, it would be easy to tell who she is just by finding out she is a fox who wants to hide her name.]

It's nice to meet you, Kotoha-san!

Servants- That is, Heroic Spirits- are fundamentally still human spirits. Even myself. That means we are capable of starting sustenance by consuming the souls of humans.

Ahhh, tricky~ So what's a servant do, exactly?

[ And why would a kitsune be anyone's servant ??? ]

Nice to meet you too, Caster-san. Can I call you that?
