[ well, that was easy enough? though, he's not too sure about the phrasing that they're using there... he doesn't adjust himself any and just continues to stand there and let them stare at him.. ]

Now who's staring?

[commedia]

Ahahaha.

[A peal of laughter, like little bells.]

I'm sorry. I apologize. Its just...those are some very interesting tattoos you have.

[nodo]

[ hmms softly at the laughter. ]

They're nothing that special.

[ (the tattoos are definitely special.)

that said, when he looks down at himself (or vaguely glances away) as he crosses arms, he notices a blotch of yellow against his skin and...hmm. that. that is definitely new to him. ]

This one I don't recognize.

[commedia]

Oh, you have one, too?

[They show their hand, emblazoned with green eyes.]

Yours looks different, though...

[nodo]

[ oh. hmmm...that's...a tattoo. ]

It does. [ a yellow crown and green eyes. ] I have a feeling that they'll be coming into play very shortly.

[ since neither of them have read the welcoming doc?? ]

[commedia]

[THEY JUST ARRIVED GIVE THEM SOME SLACK, LAW]

You think so? Maybe its our way of showing we've been accepted to this place. Our...key.

[nodo]

[ no!!! he will not!!! no one gets rest!!! especially him. ]

Key? [ hmm. now there's an interesting way to look at it. ] Could be, or it could mean something else. Ours are different and it's likely that there might be others as well.

[ ... ]

You're here for the game, too, right?

[commedia]

[A tilt of the head. They jingle.]

....The game? I was thinking we would simply have to work at getting what we desire.

[nodo]

[ do they have bells on them??? law is gonna be curious how they're jingling at this point. ]

It's sort of the same thing, isn't it? It's still working towards getting what we want—just with more distractions along the way.

[commedia]

[THEY SURE DO! Little bells on the tips of their weird two-tone hair. :3]

Distractions? But a game is fun! So much fun! You think that would be distracting? Isn't work so positively boring?

[nodo]

[ that's too cute and also kind of illegal...??? ]

Boring? I think that drawing out something into a huge affair is a bit of a pain. I'd prefer it to be short and to the point.

[ he'll sigh. ]

But we're all after something so I guess there's a point for whatever this game will ultimately entail.

[commedia]

[gap moe :3]

There likely is! And every wish has its price. Nothing is for free, nothing is freely given. That is always how the world has worked, sadly.

[nodo]

[ terrifying.... ]

You're right with that—anyone who says there are things freely given are fools.

[commedia]

And yet, here we are! Here we are. Do you feel your wish is worth the effort?

[nodo]

If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be here. [ obviously. ] How about you? Are you here just for the fun with a side of getting something you want?

[commedia]

...Fun?

[They almost look a little amused.]

Not at all. I can have fun, of course, but...I am here to serve, first and foremost.

[nodo]

[ real talk, when don't they look amused? ]

...here to serve?

[commedia]

Yes. I am a Servant. This is my role.

[nodo]

A servant.

[ he. is actually not that fond of the idea of someone thinking themselves as a servant being their role in life.... ]

How would you define your role as a servant, exactly?

[commedia]

[glad they are having this convo in ariana grande outfits]

Whatever my Master desires. But first and foremost, to help them achieve their goals in a Grail War....but I assume that isn't happening here.

[nodo]

[ i'm honestly trying to forget this part. ]

Who's to say; we're probably not part of a war. [ and because the question has to be asked... ] However, who is your master?

[commedia]

Oh, I don't know.

[?????????????]

[They glance down at Law.]

Are you...my Master?

[????????????????????????????????]

[nodo]

[ HOW MANY "MASTERS" DO THEY HAVE BY NOW, CRYSTAL!?


....that said, law is just going to stare at them for a few moments going through several thoughts all at once. mainly between "take advantage of the situation" and not. ]

How would I be able to tell if I was? More important, how would you know?

[commedia]

[JUST THE ONE, STOP!!!!!!!!!]

...Mmm? Shouldn't you know? It is not something one waffles on. As a Master, you must be aware of what you are, and your abilities that allowed me to be summoned. Someone who seems reluctant cannot be my Master, not at all.

[nodo]

[ i hope it's medb. ]

There's your answer then, isn't it? I'm not your Master.

[ he almost feels a little relieved...though thanks for the information? even though it gives him more questions than actual answers. and because he just has to know— ]

If by some circumstance you don't find your Master here, what would happen to you?
