The Holy Grail War

Ichypa said
"Interesting." Saber said, stroking his chin. "The lands of the east were mysterious and foreign in my time. They might as well have been a different planet. I do hope to sample some of the interest bits of this land's culture before the War ends." Saber tilted his head, thinking. "That reminds me, Master. Are you a man of the Faith?"

Iggy stares off down the road as they walk, contemplating his answer.

"Depends on the Faith. I do believe in a type of God, thought not one that we share, I'd imagine. I believe that there is a god in everything, and thus we should love everything... Mainly women, though." A mischievous smile spreads across Iggy's face. "I founded my own denomination, I call it The Church of Polyamory. It's accepting of all."

Ichypa said
"Ah, excellent. It will be good to speak with my brothers of the faith once again." Saber said. "Tell me, Master, what sort of magecraft do you wield?"

"Eh, nothin' too fancy, just a little something I learned during my time in China. It's based around a concept called Wu Xing. Basically elemental fuckery."

To demonstrate, Iggy grabs a bottle of water and his lighter. Flicking the lighter on, his prana surges slightly and the flame seamlessly turns into water. In his opposite hand, the water in his bottle shifts into a block of iron, perfectly filling the container.

"It ain't much in the way of power, but it does have a variety of applications."

That lamp would've really set off the room, too.

That's my last post for now. Might be able to get something in around lunch tomorrow.

The Holy Grail War

Ichypa said
"Since I have come to this world with nothing but what I need to gird myself for war, allow me to instead pray that the Lord bless you on your behalf." Saber said.

"Accepted. Pleased to meet your acquaintance, [REDACTED]. May we both be blessed with victory."

Iggy pauses, scratching his head. "Oh yeah! I guess we should head to the uh... Church now. Onward!"

And so the march began.

Saber felt himself fall, descending from the Throne of Heroes.He felt the knowledge he needed to function in the modern world, and the knowledge of all the legends within the Throne impress themselves onto his mind.He felt his spirit strike something hard, and his soul twisting and contorting in order to fill it, like a liquid being poured into a container.And then, for the first time in centuries, Saber felt his lungs fill and his heart begin to beat.He looked upon the man who stood before him."Are you my Master?" he asked.

"It would appear so, Saber. Ignatius Q. Jiminez is the name."

Iggy reached down and picked up what was left of the vial, still half full. "Where I come from, partnerships are normally started by an exchange of sorts. A show of good will, you could say. Here's mine," he said, planting the vial in Saber's hand. "Doesn't need to be a physical gift, could be anything... Money, a lamp, a kind word or two... As long as both parties attribute some type of value to it."

Boom.

The Holy Grail War

Ignatius sat alone in his temporary apartment, rubbing his fingers along the red marks on his hand as he so often did lately.

The life of a wandering pervert was fun, but lonely, after all.

No matter, Iggy(an affection nickname he'd been given by many... friends, and had grown to like, despite being tired of always having to act like it was the first time he'd heard it) pulled his catalyst from a drawer at his bedside. He'd gone to great lengths to acquire this, a simple vial of water from a river somewhere far away from here.

Yeesh... This whole Grail thing better be worth it. I'd like to wish for some top-shelf poon.

Iggy poured the small vial into a chalice he'd precariously set in the middle of a magic circle made to facilitate the summoning of a heroic spirit.

"Welp, fuck it, here we go!"

Ignatius channeled prana into the circle, activating it.

Let's spin the wheel and see what happens, then...
