Hmm, sorry, I don't think I'll be able to post tonight, I've been dealing with other stuff. I'll definitely post tomorrow, though.

[Daiki]

Xam, I'd like you to update(even if it's short).

Looking forward to it.

[Cherry Lover]

And posted, finally.

God, that thing took ages to write....

[Elf]

I'll have my post up before I go to bed, that's a promise!

[Elf]

And post!

Hmm, I think I'm misunderstanding how Servants can gain prana...
I was under the impression it could only be done: a) via tantric ritual (aka sexy times for everyone)
b) eating souls and c) tapping ley lines... Can you actually just take a small bit with minimal damage from a person?

[Alice]

Yeah, you can- there's prana in various body fluids, such as blood, saliva, and... *cough.* The cases you mentioned are more for mass amounts of prana. The tantric ritual is for a case when someone really needs a boost of prana, for instance (such as a Servant with very low prana levels). So yup, it's possible.

Isa gives diabete.

Note: Isa has not left the place yet.(in case you want some reactions to your reactions)

[OPOI]

Oh my god you're right, I got diabetes from that
Response in which I don't have to be a jackass will be coming up sometime tomorrow

Oh OK, that explains things then. Thanks Alice!

Well, in the non-ero HF, Sakura gets prana from Shirou by sucking blood. Plus, Rider takes prana from multiple different people by that method in the various routes, and none of them die or are left as husks (they seem to recover just fine), so it can't be simple as "eating souls".  And, Rider is sucking blood post-HF (although admittedly for pleasure and not prana), with Rin's knowledge, and I can't imagine Rin would be OK with that if it was causing genuine harm.

You're right that the most "effective" method would be to suck the person dry, but it's not the only method.

Isa gives diabete.

Yeah, that was cute....

Oh, also, I'm away this weekend, and I'm leaving not long after I get up on Friday. So, I don't think I'm going to be able to make another post until Monday.

OK, I've posted Sakura's character sheet. I don't intend to use her just yet (I need to do Shirou and Aoi's character sheet first, plus it's not the right time to introduce her), but I thought it would be good to get some feedback on it. Plus, I'd like to have them available for when I do need them, and so I don't need to explain why it takes so long for them to arrive....

I won't be online again until Sunday, though, so my next post in the RP will have to wait until then.

You might want to define how the healing works a bit better, I assume it's a standard healing spell meaning that wounds that prevent such casting or healing magic would render said healing ineffective.
