The Round Table (A collaborative fiction thread)

[Cherry Lover]

please stop the enemy crap, we moved pasted that awhile ago.

Well, she would be.

[lantzblades]

we already established the masters move to fight gil so no she wouldn't

She couldn't care less about Gil.

But, anyway, this is a pointless argument, because you've still not answered my objections to the basic idea. I do not like the idea of not giving Sakura a servant and nor do I like the idea of seperating Rider from Sakura. And nor, for that matter, do I think I could write it, because my idea of Rider is a lot more Sakura-centric than yours apparently is.

[lantzblades]

well how do you suggest we deal with this?

[Cherry Lover]

I'm not sure, really. We need to find a solution we're both OK with, but I do not like the idea of taking Rider off Sakura permanently at all.

[lantzblades]

I never said permanently

[Cherry Lover]

I never said permanently

Well, I mean for most or all of the War. I don't mind Rider not being with Sakura for a bit, but I'd like Sakura to regain a servant.

Also, I have serious practical issues with the idea, because I think it would ridiculous to drag in another random classmate of Shirou's and "reveal" that they're a magus, after we've already done it to Ayako.

[lantzblades]

stop the magus thing, having magic circuits is seriously different. sides issei has a lot of credibility to be one.

Well, OK, being a magus isn't the same thing as having magic circuits, but it is still true that most people don't have them. Further, even if one of them does, they still have to come across Rider somehow. In my opinion, it's just too contrived, especially when we're already doing the exact same thing with Ayako.

[lantzblades]

seems like any solution here is contrived or ooc

You've not yet tried to find any solution to my fundamental objections. All you're even attempting to address here are the practical issues with it. And, frankly, having two seperate servants come across non-magi with magic circuits in the same school who are willing to help them out despite the potential risk to their own life is contrived. Having it happen once is OK, but doing it twice is just getting silly, and it's also rather repetitive.

[lantzblades]

it just proves they are good people, goodness is not contrived, (except ppl like shinji)

There's a difference between being "good" and being willing to risk your life to protect someone you don't know. And, plus, even if they are willing, Rider still has to find them. Sure, she can get people to help her, but the likelihood of said person having magic circuits is low.

[lantzblades]

perhaps, still do you have a way to give rider development outside of sakura?

Not really, at least during the Grail War, but I don't think what you are suggesting really will either. She and Sakura will both just end up getting largely ignored. And, as I've already said, I like her devotion to Sakura, I don't want to cut that aspect out.
