<Snipped quote by Cu Chulainn>

I like him. : (

It's moreso just me making his real powerhouse a risky Noble Phantasm that didn't get approved due to it being OP, as well as lore-breaking reasons and me coming up with a sort-of generic Noble Phantasm to fill in the gap.

I should've taken more time thinking of it, and only now have I started to dwell on it xD

Well, things that are not yet revealed are always subject to appeal and possible alteration. :P

@Cu ChulainnWhat, did he summon Buddha? XD

@Blackstripe@VitaVitaARJust FYI, edited my post because I realized Mira forgot to address Estelle. That has since been rectified.

@Blackstripe His old Noble Phantasm consists of him potentially pulling a Roa on other Heroic Spirits

@Cu ChulainnI feel like Lancer and Berserker would probably get along really well if it wasn't for the whole trying to kill each other thing. Dunno for sure yet, though.

...Also, I've always been insanely psyched to get the chance to write Lancer, so I'm really looking forward to getting to have her fight other Servants. It's gonna be awesome. :D

Quickly edited to include reactions to that!

I wonder how confused Mira is by this conversation.

@Raineh DazeProbably very, if she could hear it, but right now she's more focused on micromanaging all of her Familiars and keeping pace with the fight against Rider.

Y'know, if we start having a contest of Master stamina, this'll turn into the padded sumo grail war. :P

@FeyblueGotta give Mira credit for wanting to have a contest of stamina with Estelle. XD

@BlackstripeI mean, bear two things in mind. For one thing, Mira is so sheltered that she probably has no idea that Homunculi are even a thing, and for another, her Magic Circuits are INSANELY good by modern standards because she's a Witch, even if she doesn't have many of them. So, given what she knows about the degradation of Magic over time, there's really no reason for her to assume that there's another Master who can rival, match, or exceed her level of output.

I'm not really sure how the two of them compare power-wise, though. I think Mira has more raw Prana at her disposal, but Estelle has her beat when it comes to efficiency due to being literally a living Magic Circuit, so she could definitely output more energy at once, making it possible for her to overwhelm Mira in the short term.

EDIT: Also, I hope I managed to do justice to the Nasuverse tradition of weird fight scene descriptions. I felt like having the traditional "Master sees Servants fighting for the first time" moment was non-negotiable. XD

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get longer and longer dialogue. We need some Kirei-level exposition going, here. Even if this means that I treat the fight scene going on straight ahead of me as a piece of fluff. :D

And here comes Berserker crashing the party.

@Cu Chulainn Rider's reaction to your servant

@Blackstripe I have a sinking feeling you were saving that for when Rider first encounters Berserker...

@Cu ChulainnMaaaybe... >.> <.<

Now to continue talking despite the Servant fight going on. Priorities.

@Raineh Daze

You're the hero this shounen deserves.

Hmm, think I'll let other people post before posting with Saber. Then I can get an Estelle post up too most likely.
