[He settles down and manages to continue, still looking lost and incredulous, but no longer so much at Caster as just at the joke his own life has become:]

I already did. Risked everything to get control of it. Lost everything, even the Sword. To a young fool of a hero who thought he could save everyone.

And the worst part of it is, he was right. Almost right. People died, but...he did better than I could have.

[castrationfist]

[this would be literally a thousand times funnier to her if she was from the main franchise, and not the shitty PSP spinoff

oh well]

And? What happened to him?

[cloakand_danger]

He's still running around the world trying to save it from itself. If I needed the Eternal Sword to do something, all I'd have to do is ask him to help me. ...Some people just have all the luck.

[Or maybe he just has none of it. give me half an excuse and watch how quickly I turn Yuan into a Lancer.]

[castrationfist]

[isn't it sad, yuan]

Hm... And he's still alive?

[cloakand_danger]

No, he's running around trying to make sure the world stays saved while dead. Of course he's still alive.

...Not that he shouldn't by all rights be dead five times over, but. Like I said, the kid's got all the luck in the world. [Despite his earlier bitterness, he sounds kind of fond of 'the kid'.]

[castrationfist]

[running around trying to make the world stay saved while dead, while using a weird magic sword.

it's a pity caster never met emiya.]

You know, you should drop the sarcasm if you're talking about things that happen.

[cloakand_danger]

[He runs over his part of the conversation in his mind, and looks at her nonplussed.] ...I wasn't. ...Do you have dead people trying to save the world where you come from? [She did say something odd earlier about him being still alive, as if there was another option...]

[castrationfist]

Don't you remember what I said about Heroic Spirits?

[she is pouting now.]

[cloakand_danger]

You said they could be summoned to fight threats, or one another. You never said anything about them continuing on after death.

[His definition of 'spirit' seems not to include 'ghost', or at least not to prioritize it.]

[castrationfist]

We're spirits. Former humans or human-like, whose existences were so notable that after our deaths the world removed our souls from the cycle of reincarnation to be able to fight off threats to the world or humans after death.

[cloakand_danger]

[Yuan is clearly a little startled by this revelation.]

...I didn't know. That's not at all what the spirits are where I come from.

[But another thing stands out too:] 'The world of humans'? What about the other races?

[castrationfist]

No, no. The world or humans. Sometimes, humanity faces a threat of extinction, and sometimes, the planet faces a danger that could kill even it.

What about the others?

[cloakand_danger]

It's the same thing, in the end. [He shakes his head, annoyed.] ...Why only humans? They're as bad as the elves that way, only thinking of their own kind. You're saying if elves or half-elves were in danger, but not the rest of the world, no one would come to save them?

[castrationfist]

... Well, I'm not sure what kind of elf you're thinking of, but we don't have those.
