The Round Table (A collaborative fiction thread)

Not sure, really. What is there to do?

[lantzblades]

mini plots, we know the general plot line, now we need to establish the points that link them.

We do? I didn't think we had a general plot line yet....

And, presumably, the first thing to work out is the arc based around Sakura, since that will come first.

[lantzblades]

we had a general plot zouken dies, shinji fight etcetra

[Cherry Lover]

Hmm, do you think you could make a post somewhere where you put the stuff we've already decided, so we don't have to keep going back through the whole thread to find it?

[lantzblades]

sure i'll gather up what we have and post it in a special thread

[Cherry Lover]

OK, if you could get that done it'll make it a lot easier for me to work out where we are....

Like I said, though, the first thing to work out is probably the Sakura aspect of the plot, how she's rescued etc.

And, hmm, I have had a thought about Rider. What if Rin takes the book from Shinji? I think that's more plausible than her using Rule Breaker on Rider, and it would give her control of Rider in a way that Sakura can actually reverse if she desires to (by simply destroying the book). But, she might not want to initially, because that would mean revealing she's a master to Shirou, and potentially having to fight him.

That works I guess but it does leave rider vulnerable to kirei

What do you mean?

[lantzblades]

Kirei is an unassuming as a character, he could take the book from Rin easily

And Sakura could destroy it any time she likes. She's OK with Rider remaining with Rin, but if she's with someone who is a real threat then Sakura would just remove her from his control.

Also, Rin isn't an idiot. She knows Kotomine can't be trusted, there's no way she'd hand a servant over to him.

[lantzblades]

Fate disproves your theory quite readily

There's a difference between getting stabbed in the chest and giving him a book that allows her to control a servant....

[lantzblades]

i never said give, you inferred that, it's kirei, he'd black jack her and take it.

Well, that requires him to get within striking distance of a girl who has two servants, one of whom is well aware of his true nature. Even if she was willing to trust him enough to allow it to happen (which I don't think she is), Archer sure as hell wouldn't be.
