towerofanimus | 009 | ❝We are the champions...!❞

Characters: Anyone and everyone!
Setting: Floor Four, September 25th.
Format: Go wild with whatever!
Summary: EVERYBOOOOOOOOOOOOODY, YEAH, ROCK YOUR REAL BODIES OUT~
Warnings: Do we need warnings for partying? ...Naaaaaaaaaaaah.

So that last week had been hell, and they really should have seen it coming, but it's as they all say...

It was just another Tuesday in Tower What The Helsinki is Going On Here.

Unlike the private party, there are definitely plenty of decorations courtesy of the Amagi Inn heiress, and plenty of food thanks to those who offered to hunt for the event and the ones who could prepare what was caught and gathered. Really, everything's set. Even some alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were clearly labeled (so please, don't spike the normal punch. There are kids here!).

So why was this all set up? Why, because they had succeeded in ~~pissing in Jason's cornflakes and got him maaaaad~~ figuring out the cure for the madness of the previous week with the clues that had been given. But wait, was there a birthday or two this month that had otherwise gone unnoticed? Well, why not celebrate them while celebrating their hard-earned victory? There's cards on a table for people to write down the lucky people who survived another year of this craziness, just waiting for well wishes (or not so, depending on if you like them or not).

Enjoy the night!

Feel free to tag into this however you please, whether it's something already on here, or you want to do something else. It's your party, guys... let loose and have fun with it!
As this goes on, we'll add them to the list. Enjoy the spoils of victory, people of the Animoo!
Mingle!
Birthday Silliness!
Games!

It's definitely high on my list of things not to do! I'm trying my best to stay healthy and safe.

Being stuck here is bad enough without making enemies of other people here.

Regardless, is there anyone I need to keep an eye on?

Hmm, not that I know of personally? There's no one I know who's an enemy... ah, but any of the girls who are Puella Magi like me are friends! Saki is from Asunaro City like me, while the other girls are from Mitakihara, the next town over; I hadn't met them until I came here though.

There are more like you?

Mm. [She nods, expression a little sad to admit there were other girls like her who had been tricked... but she brightened up] They're friends, and they're all good girls. I haven't met all of them, but Sayaka and Madoka are both nice. And of course, Saki is one of my closest friends! I should really introduce you two sometime.

I would like to meet these friends of yours.

Mm! I could probably go look for them in a second. I was talking to Saki earlier, so I know she's here.

If it pleases you to do so.

Hehe, maybe I'll go look for her in a bit then. [Right now she'll put a dent in her food though]

Are there people here that you know, Saber? From home, I mean.

None from my specific world, but there are others like me here from mirror worlds. Lancer... Ruler...

Mirror worlds?

Worlds where the same Holy Grail War occurred but the events unfolded differently.

Oh, the one you mentioned. So Lancer and Ruler were involved in it as well? The names are kind of similar...

Yes. The names are similar because they are Class names. Ruler is a bit different, but in another War than the one she was summoned to, she would be known as Saber, not as Ruler.

Saber... so the same class as you, then?

[So then... Saber's not really Saber's name, huh?]

That is correct. There are seven classes. The three knight classes are Saber, Archer and Lancer. The other four are Rider, Caster, Berserker and Assassin.

Not every Heroic Spirit is suited to each class. For example, I am only suited for the Saber Class. For any War in which I will be summoned, I will be Saber.

[Kazumi nods, committing these names to memory... Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, Assassin... one of these things is not like the others.]

That makes sense... since you're a knight of the sword, right?

Where does Ruler fit in?

In the two Wars I have participated in and the two prior to that, the War was overseen by the Holy Church, to provide a... neutral party to regulate it and offer sanctuary to any master that has lost its servant.

In Ruler's War, which is far after the ones I have been in, the Church no longer oversees the War. The Grail itself chose one of the Seven Classes to act as Overseer, to serve it directly, and be neutral. The Servant's class becomes Ruler from that point on.

As the Saber Class is the greatest class, it is only proper that the Grail take that class to become Ruler.

Oh, so they're like a referee, huh? [It sounds almost like a game but... she's pretty sure that'd be rude to point out] I guess that explains the name!

A simplistic comparison, but an apt one.

Hmm... I guess there's a lot of rules and stuff to the Holy Grail War, huh? Not like a normal one...

It is not a normal war. Magi hide their existence from the normal populace, so their wars must be kept secret. I only speak of this to you because you are beholden to me.

Mm! I'll keep quiet on it then. We kind of keep being magical girls a secret too, but mostly because it would probably cause a huge commotion if people found out... and then it'd probably be harder to fight witches.

In the Holy Grail War, there are to be no witnesses. This leads some innocents to their unfortunate deaths.

Yeah... it's always really dangerous when normal people get tangled up in this sort of thing. Which is why we have to fight witches, who prey on those people.

[Even if it was kind of a self-perpetuating system...]
