Lantz's fanfiction round up and discussion

[Cherry Lover]

Two points, first we need an alternative servant to Hercules then

Yeah, I don't think Heracles would be a good idea as a servant allied to the heroes. He's just too damn powerful, particularly if Ilya was smart enough not to summon him insane. Plus, like I said, it doesn't make logical sense for her to summon him (or, at least, it's not a certainty), given that it was the Einsberns who found the catalyst.

point two kiritsugu post fourth is a nice guy, at worst he'd incapacitate masters

Even someone who is Kotomine's "daughter"? Although, admittedly, her being friendly with Shirou would help her case somewhat....

[lantzblades]

Didn't find so much as stole but you make a good point, still if you don't have an idea then we are a bit stuck for the moment, as for Sakura she's not kirei and if she kotomine kirei he don't give a rats ass

[Cherry Lover]

Didn't find so much as stole but you make a good point

Well, OK.

still if you don't have an idea then we are a bit stuck for the moment

Well, yes, definitely. We can pick basically anyone, though. It would presumably either be someone Kiritsugu found a catalyst for or else someone who was compatible with Ilya, though.

as for Sakura she's not kirei and if she kotomine kirei he don't give a rats ass

What?

[lantzblades]

Compatible with ilya huh, hmmm, that is a tough one particularly given that her duplicitous nature is wiped all in this time line

[Cherry Lover]

Compatible with ilya huh, hmmm, that is a tough one particularly given that her duplicitous nature is wiped all in this time line

Yeah, first we need to work out what she'll actually be like.

Also, why isn't Kiritsugu stopping her from getting involved at all? Shirou at least has the justification that he summons by accident, but what about her?

[lantzblades]

You don't choose to be a master

[Cherry Lover]

You don't choose to be a master

You choose to perform the summoning. If you don't, then you don't get a servant (barring unusual circumstances, like falling into a magic circle...).

[lantzblades]

Nah, there's something more to it then that, otherwise the system wouldn't work the way it does

[Cherry Lover]

Nah, there's something more to it then that, otherwise the system wouldn't work the way it does

I believe that it's been stated that the Grail chooses potential participants, and then the first 7 of those to summon a servant get one.

[lantzblades]

Who else would attempt it?

[Cherry Lover]

Who else would attempt it?

Well, yes, but the question is whether Ilya would....

[lantzblades]

I see her doing so to protect shirou if nothing else

[Cherry Lover]

I see her doing so to protect shirou if nothing else

Well, I can believe her wanting to once Shirou is involved, I'm not so sure Kiritsugu would let her.

[lantzblades]

Von Einzbern, they don't listen to nobody

[Cherry Lover]

Von Einzbern, they don't listen to nobody

Lol, true, but I'm not sure Kiritsugu will give her much of a choice....
