[OOC] Fate Arcana/Academy

[Ichypa]

How is Korra? I never got around to watching it, and Teh said it sucks after season 1.

[idkman]

Season 1 is great.

2 drags and 3 gets better.

No comment on 4.

[Serperion]

On Korra Season 1 starts strong and then gets weaker, second is weak throughout apart from Avatar Wan episodes (the first avatar), season 3 is quality, just below Earth (season 2 of TLAB) IMO.

[Ichypa]

All right, good to know.

And mani, get your rear in gear. Venetus just split to protect the twins, you should be forcing Ruber off of NBerserker.

[Ichypa]

Just watched the new FSN.

I've never really found Rin particularly attractive, but daaaaaayum. Now she's really hot for some reason. Probably because she's the heroine of this route, plus the new art style is just sexy overall.

Also, dat Archer v. Lancer. I think this is an indication that our battles need to cause more environmental damage.

[Serperion]

Well NBerserker is forcing giant earth walls up everywhere. And we are in the Snow Quad I believe, so not much things to be destroyed, the Stone Quad or Wood Quad definately would get fucked up.

Guys since this is taking up most of our time, maybe we start a second strand with the rest of our characters?

[idkman]

I'll post after work today.

A second strand sounds good.

[idkman]

Ok the last three posts are really confusing.

Cliff's notes, what is everyone in the battle doing at the moment?

[Ichypa]

>ASaber laughs off magic attack, goes in for the kill
>Venetus intervenes, simultaneously abandoning the fight he was a part of and interfering with another's battle
>this pisses off ASaber, so he has the ghosts of Elasa attack
>Venetus blocks with Roman-ness
>VSaber swaps out with ASaber and goes for the twins while ASaber handles Venetus

[Ichypa]

Should we try to avoid combat in the second strand for now, or should we just charge ahead and let the dice fall where they may? Because if its the latter, Victoria is going to start making shit get real.

[idkman]

I was just gonna post what my other people were doing during the fight.

[Ichypa]

Well, yes, but should it just be an update or should we actually have them DO something?

[Serperion]

For second strand let dice fall, more scheming and background so when it comes to combat, we can sort out alliances and what not.

And Dat Quality in FSN UBW, although I feel Rin looked better in the UBW movie.

[Serperion]

So far to understand what's going on.

Nberserker has lost his mask and is going mad, he may do his NP soon.

Gabby is possessed by the spirit of Remus
Ella possessed by Pollux
Venetus is using Castor possessed by his sword. So only Romulus spirit is free.

Wait. Huh?

Venetus=Remus, right?
And Gabby is Castor, right?
Are you saying that Remus is possessing Gabby who is possessing Remus? Huh??????

[idkman]

Thats what I meant by confusing.

[Ichypa]

It actually seemed pretty clear to me until he explained it...

[Serperion]

Ok so far there are 8 people in the area on the side of the twins.

2 living souls Gabby and Ella, who are shamans and can summon and control spirits to either fuse with, or combine into weapons making pseudo NP. But for the greater things they need a strong connection to the spirits.

Then there are two servants, Ruber who was Romulus/Quirinus in real life, but this the servant made from the copy of him that lives in the throne of heroes. He can also summon the servant version of his brother Remus, who in this incarnation is Venetus.

But then there are 4 etheral avatar spirits, of Romulus, Remus, Castor and Pollux, which Gabby and Ella can use for shaman magic.

And as all 8 of the are Gemini, it allows for the gemini abilities to be used. Although one twin can only teleport to their counterpart, so Ruber can teleport to Gabby, but not to Ella as they are both the same, if this is making sense. Ella, Romulus/Ruber and Pollux are all echos of each other, the stronger twin, the alpha, compared to Gabby, Remus/Venetus and Castor, who are the weaker twin.

So Gabby is fused with the spirit of Remus, to take on his werewolf traits, while the Servant Venetus is using the sword that has taken on the traits of Castor.

I admit it is confusing.

[Ichypa]

Ok.

So right now, We have Venetus, who is a Servant, channeling the the spirit of Castor in his sword, while Gabby has the undead spirit of Remus, which he is using to turn himself into a werewolf. Ruber, who is a Servant, attacking our Berserkers, and Ella is sitting around on Gabby's back, while the spirit version of Romulus and Pollux are just sort of fucking around somewhere nearby?

Do I have that straight?

And yes, that was confusing. When they were yelling out "Pollux" and "Castor" and stuff, I thought that the twins were invoking the power of their Origins. Like, while Gabby was borrowing Remus(Venetus)'s power, Venetus was in turn borrowing Gabby's power.

[Serperion]

Practically straight, Ella is combined with Pollux. But other than that it's pretty correct.

When they were shouting that, they were actually talking to the spirits and using their shamanism, they are so compatible because they all share the gemini attribute, which is responsible for the teleporting aspect.

Ruber and Venetus as servants, can't do any shaman magic, they can only use their NP's. Hence Ella had to fuse Castor into the sword for Venetus to use.
