Got a question for a character in CE 3.0? Ask it here!
(Note: Questions can only be answered by that character's player, and must be responded to in character)
-
To Neo: Is there a particular reason that you're a dick to everyone? (I mean, when even your teammates are apologizing for the dickery, you really can't deny it...)
To Saber: How is Forest's cooking? Compare to Emiya's.
To Forest: Is this the first time you've been interested in someone who tried to kill you? I get the feeling that the answer is no.
To Law: How do you deal with the crazy guy telling you to kill people?
To Hamara: Do you feel actual anger against non-humans, if they're non-human enough, or are you just entirely robotic efficiency?
-
Hamara: “Anger, hated. Such things do nothing more than cloud one’s mind. Monsters are cleansed for the must be cleansed, nothing more. Anger, rage and hatred, they pollute and change, putting men on the path to become something less. And so I preform my duty to keep the world in line with the absolute truth of existence, keeping my mind as clear as the reflecting pool I once meditated at.”
-
To Saber: How is Forest's cooking? Compare to Emiya's.
Saber: Forest does not cook. Unless it is over an open fire, however she has scouted some very fine restaurants in the area for me. She also keeps my larders full with fine quality foods, so I am thankful for that.
To Forest: Is this the first time you've been interested in someone who tried to kill you? I get the feeling that the answer is no.
Forest: *Laughs* Oh goodness no. I'm a Celt. Battle can be just another form of flirting.
-
To Law: How do you deal with the crazy guy telling you to kill people?
Law: I just filter it out for the most part. It was harder early on but after a month? I'm sort of used to it.
-
Butler: Why have you decided to make serving a master your purpose in life?
Lucas: You are able to talk to people, right? Is there any reason you dislike them beyond industrialization?
Wanderer: Why are you hanging out with the disease to end all diseases?
-
Shirou: How do you like the nickname that Forest gave you?
-
Shirou: How do you like the nickname that Forest gave you?
Shirou: Hmph. It's better than the vampire knowing my name, I suppose.
-
Lucas: You are able to talk to people, right? Is there any reason you dislike them beyond industrialization?
Lucas: Of course I can talk to people. Why don't I like them? Isn't industrialization enough? They crush nature underfoot without hesitation, draining the earth dry in their foolish attempts to sate themselves... of course I don't like them. More to the point, they smell disgusting. I don't want any of them near me before they take a long, long bath. Even more then that, they're just so fragile. It's sickening. Absolutely disgusting. They pop like jewelweed if I so much as touch them. It's like walking around a house made of paper.
Wanderer: Why are you hanging out with the disease to end all diseases?
Wanderer: It wasn't my intention to begin with. Circumstances forced us together, and now he simply won't leave.
-
Butler: Why have you decided to make serving a master your purpose in life?
"Let me tell you a story. Once there was a little boy whose family had been separated and sold into slavery, the boy included. The boy was alone, and mistreated, and did not know what to do about himself. But he was bought by a quaint sir, who wanted a young aide he could mold as he desired. The boy's new master was kind, kinder than any of the slavers or the previous people he had to serve, and he was generous.
The sir taught the boy a lot. He taught him how to read, how to write, how to fight, how to use a firearm, how to serve. He wanted to teach the boy all he could, and in return the boy served him well, and loved him like a surrogate father. One day, the boy dared to ask him about his estranged family, and much to his surprise, not only did his master answer his inquiries, he gave him all the aid he could in tracking them down.
Alas, the boy was too late to find them. His family had all perished by the time he went on his journey. Demotivated, he returned to his master. And though the good sir could not console him, he offered him freedom and any amount of money he wanted to find his way in the world again. But the boy decided to stay. He had nothing else left aside from his master. This decision struck the sir, who swore upon the boy eternal friendship. So the years went by. Until one day, the boy's master collapsed. He had not died yet - but he was knocking at the doors of death. So the sir asked the boy, who he loved as the son he never had, if he would receive one final gift from him. Anything, the boy answered.
You see, the sir was a magician. One who had pursued the occult and the mystic for the sake of knowledge alone, always seeking to touch the divine with his mind. In the final years of his life, he had finally found something of substance in that research. And though he could use it to save himself, he didn't. Instead, he granted the boy an undying body made with flesh stolen from the realm of God, and wished that he would live on.
So the magician passed away. And the boy was left alone. In devotion to his master, thankful of his kindness, in adoration of his character, and appreciation of what he was taught, the boy - long past a man, now even beyond Man - resolved to dedicate his life to those that would be worthy of it. For himself, and for his master, to thank him for all he had done for him."

To Neo: Is there a particular reason that you're a dick to everyone? (I mean, when even your teammates are apologizing for the dickery, you really can't deny it...)
Neo: "Well, if there's one thing my awesome dad told me before he croaked, it's that you should observe how people move or talk, and then turn these observations into something you can use fo' yo'self. But as fo' me, I don't use that shit fo' mahself, I use it to talk shit to people because I want them know what's wrong with their asses, so that they stop bein' so wrong. And if evah that if yo' pussy feelin's got so hurt wit' wha' I said, it only means go I mah message to you effectively by not babying yo' ass, understand? I mean, c'mon, yo' a grown man, yo' can take a little shit talkin' for fun too, aren't you?"

Ezra: What will happen to your lance if you die without passing it to an heir?
-
Ezra: What will happen to your lance if you die without passing it to an heir?
Ezra: Honestly, I don't know for sure. I think... I think it fades away if there is no one left to inherit it. You have to understand, at this point, it's something more than the lance that it originally was. If I don't pass it down, it'll be lost forever.
-
Henderson: Is the prospect of Lawngnomeageddon frightening to you?
Ezra: Is it possible for you to somehow beat 30 years in age?
Shirou: On a scale from 1 to Oni-chan~ how much does Mia remind you of Ilya?
-
Ezra: Is it possible for you to somehow beat 30 years in age?
Ezra: ...Sadly, no. The curse itself is more like the mandate of God. The only one who could lift it would be one with the same power as Him, a power that could undo something that was created by Him... but as it stands, no. Like my father, and like his father before him, no child of my line has lived past thirty. It was hard, at first, but I understand now that there's no way to escape it.
-
Shirou: On a scale from 1 to Oni-chan~ how much does Mia remind you of Ilya?
Shirou: Seven, clothes aside Mia looks pretty similar, and she can switch back and forth between being a cute child and creepy and dangerous just as fast as Illya could. The main difference between the two is that Illya was very aristocratic, even when acting cute, while Mia acts more like a normal young girl when in "little kid" mode.
-
Henderson: Is the prospect of Lawngnomeageddon frightening to you?
Henderson: Only if I can't get my gnomes safe. If all else fails, I have enough Lawn Gnomes to successfully repopulate the planet with them, and we can just make more afterwards.
-
To Lancelot: Sir Gawain called you once "uptight". Is there truth to his statement?
-
Sarse: When and how did you realize Saminga and Lucifer were wrong?
-
To Lancelot: Sir Gawain called you once "uptight". Is there truth to his statement?
Lancelot: Going by this "Urban Dictionary" Forest showed me, to be uptight is to be unable to relax, to have my "panties in a twist", or to walk around as though a tree branch had been inserted into my rectum. How crude. Beyond the obvious facts that I do not store wood within my rear, nor do I wear female undergarments, I suppose the first portion of the definition is not inaccurate. Adjusting to this new society is an endless task, and sometimes Saber can be... moody.
-
Sarse: When and how did you realize Saminga and Lucifer were wrong?
Sarse: It wasn't immediate. It was something that I realized over time as I interacted with humans during my first centuries of life. I came into the mortal world with hate and scorn driving me, but I saw both the good and bad in humans. In fact, it was because I saw the bad despite their potential for otherwise that I should have been filled with even more scorn, possessed to follow Saminga and Lucifer, but all it induced in me was ataraxia. I forced myself to keep going by filling my heart with lies. A damnable time in my memories. But lies catch up to you when you're forced to constantly confront them. It was upsetting, even revolting to me, and I couldn't accept the world I was a part of.
My paradigm only started to change for self-preservation. It was nothing noble or hopeful that motivated me. At first. But that change brought self-questioning. It made me contemplate things in a way I hadn't before. Wasn't the fact that humans had the potential they did amazing? Wasn't life required to make so many things possible, even us celestials? I don't know when my thoughts started to follow that logic. Maybe there was an event or two that marked me then that are hazy now. I don't recall exactly, but I remember it coming to a climax. I remember when my defiance began, asking myself, how could Silence be the truth when there was such beauty to be found in the Symphony?
I suppose the rest is history.
-
Mia: What are your favorite games?
-
"All games are fun as long as you have someone to play them with... people seem to be upset when I am winning though." Mia pouted, "sore losers."
-
Suiren: What is your favorite kind of fight and what makes this particular kind of fight so much fun?
-
To Neo: Do you actually have any respect for Yukina, or do you just think she's useful and a convenient broad, as she doesn't care for your choice of mannerisms and language?
-
To Neo: Do you actually have any respect for Yukina, or do you just think she's useful and a convenient broad, as she doesn't care for your choice of mannerisms and language?
Neo: "Dude, why can't it be both?
...But okay, lemme explain this. When we first met her, we thought she was crazy. I mean, goddamn, bitch be hot-wiring a car and fuckin' crashing it to the guys who were chasing our asses back in Japan. Only retards do that. But that retard saved our asses. No fuckin' wonder Ratt let 'er into the Order. She's a useful idiot, but she chose to be one. And she knows it. But she ain't mindin' it one bit. That's why I respect her, even if she's a useful retard."
-
Suiren: What is your favorite kind of fight and what makes this particular kind of fight so much fun?
"A fight is a fight is a fight. There is no different 'kinds' of fight." Suiren stated, "I love to fight because they allow me to challenge myself, and it is only when fighting am I really alive. Why would it matter the means my opponent fights, it is about myself and not about them. The growth and understanding I gain in combat is what make all fights worth it."
-
Garou: Your favorite movie villain?
-
Garou: Hah. Villain, hero? Those titles don't mean shit in the real world, kid. In the end, it all comes to the winner and the loser. The villain is simply the villain because he wasn't strong enough to be the hero, that is all. If ya think those goody two shoes of yours don't have their share of skeletons in their closet, perhaps my fist would like to have a talk with your face.
Magneto is pretty fucking rad though.
-
Sakura: Do you like traditional Japanese clothes?
-
Sakura: "Do I like traditional Japanese clothing? Hmm... Well, I don't dislike them, so I guess I do? Kimonos are nice, don't get me wrong, but I've never really been into fashion in general, I wasn't really allowed to. I just wear what is clean and convinent, usually."'
"I'd definety wear them if Shirou liked them though."
-
Noel: Do you like fighting games? If so, what title in particular?
-
Rider: Who's your favorite Sakura, all of them is not a valid answer.
-
Sakura: Lewdest sex act you ever consented to? Also which is the lewdest you would ever consent to?
Forest: What kind of supernatural creature do you dislike the most?
-
Shirou:
"Hey hey hey, what kind of questions are you asking my fiancee?"
-
Shirou:
"Hey hey hey, what kind of questions are you asking my fiancee?"
One you will find helpful if she answers.
-
Costin: Why do you keep dying?
-
Costin: Why do you keep dying?
Because it makes me feel alive! Killing, dying, turning everything you humans find sacred into smears and violating them makes my dead heart throb in glee! Surely you've thought about it. What sound that annoying kid in the park would make if his skull was crushed under your foot, or what look would that old geezer give ya as you gouged his guts out and scooped his eyes like ice cream! Hehehe...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! KILL KILL KILL KIIIIILLL!!
-
Sakura:
"I... ummm... The lewdest sex act I've done? Erm, ah... I once tied Shirou up a bit? Does that count? Probably not, that's him consenting, not me."
"We once did anal...?"
"And geez, the second part, hold on...?"
-
Rikuyo: Did you ever have a secret crush on someone?
-
Noriko: How would you have felt to be a female Shirou?
-
Rikuyo: A crush? There was a guy that I crushed behind a barn after he wanted to go out with me or somethin'. Wasn't completely without spine, so I humored him, even if I nearly broke his back when I fought him.
Noriko: Sorry, I'm destined for higher things than being a housewife.
-
Forest: What kind of supernatural creature do you dislike the most?
Forest: Zombies! Okay, where I come from they're supernatural and hopefully some zombie plague doesn't break out here because that would be sodding horrible. They're terrifying, they smell, and they want to eat you. Which . . . isn't pleasant.
Also Incubi are real wankers too.
-
Forest: Why do you use guns over swords?
-
Forest: Why do you use guns over swords?
Forest: I'm actually not a huge fan of swords. I know how to use one, and I've been told I'm pretty decent, but I prefer axes if we're going for a bladed weapon. I still have my da's axe actually. However, why do I use guns? Some of the things that I have to go after I really don't want to get too up close and personal. Even with my skill and speed, something that's two, three times stronger than me - and twice as big - is a huge handicap to overcome. So I'm the girl who brings a gun to a knife fight.
Also, a lot of older supernatural types are pretty luddite and shun things like firearms and what not so they don't expect someone of my age to use a gun. Which is another tactical advantage. Not to mention with dye presses and what not, I can make custom ammo for whatever baddy I'm facing. Just means I have to keep my gun in good condition because silver bullets and the like can really sod around with it.
Sure it's dangerous, but I'm careful. However forensics now a days is a bitch.
And it's the American way.
-
Garou: How hyped you are for hunting Elites?
-
Garou: How hyped you are for hunting Elites?
Oh you have no fucking idea. Like hell I'd say no to a slaughter party!
-
Michael: Why do you love cardboxes?
-
Ron: How does it feel to have pants and to be a werewolf?
-
Ron: How does it feel to have pants and to be a werewolf?
Ron: Pants! Pants, I must say, are incredible things. The werewolf part, well, I'm waiting to see if I flip out and have to put down like a certain displaced American wolf in the UK. I would rather not. But at least I have pants; that makes up for everything else right now.
-
Ron: Will you miss veggies at some point?
-
Ron: Will you miss veggies at some point?
Ron: What's this about missing veggies? Am I going to stop being able to eat vegetables?! *deep breath* Take that, mother!
-
Petra: Where did you get that outfit from anywhere?
-
Darcy: Do think you have a chance with Emily?
-
Petra: Fashionable, isn't? I wanted a combat outfit that looks stylish, so one of few things I did when summoned was to arrange for a one. The scarf is only thing I kept from my antiquated clothes, that's what my big brother gave me and I keep it in his memory. Maybe I could summon him as a Servant, but nah, that's all I need. Bonds between siblings are so strong that we don't need to be in touch!
-
Ron: Full moon y/n?
Fiona: What's your favorite type of carnivorous plant?
-
Darcy: Do think you have a chance with Emily?
Of course! I am a pervert, no skirts can escape my grasp!
-
Fiona: What's your favorite type of carnivorous plant?
Fiona: Uhh, well, there aren't that many, and they are all really amazing in their own way. But batterworts are really cool. They like, pump out water outside of small bubbles, and then when something goes near the trap door it opens, sucking them in and then trapping there there. Whats really cool is why they have to do that, you see they grow in marches, where there isn't a lot of nitrogen in the water, cause their aquatic. So they need to get it from somewhere else, like insects. Its really amazing, it shows just how incredible nature can be, how it can grow into such unique things.
-
Fiona: Are there mummies in your world and how do you feel about them?
-
Fiona: I mean, of couse there are mummies. I saw them when I visited a museum. It was a really cool exhibit.
-
Fiona:What's your favorite dessert!!
-
Fiona: But what if mummies reanimated, would you be surprised about that? Nexus may contain strange stuff like that.
-
Fiona:What's your favorite dessert!!
How could I possibly pick a favorite? There is just so much to chose from!
Fiona: But what if mummies reanimated, would you be surprised about that? Nexus may contain strange stuff like that.
Wouldn't that just be a zombie? I mean, it would be odd that a spirit or something would chose such a delicate and frail corpse to animate, but its not something I haven't dealt with before.
-
Darcy: From 0 to 10, how much you fancy Japanese women?
-
Rikuyo: What's your favorite supernatural creature to eat?
-
Darcy: From 0 to 10, how much you fancy Japanese women?
10
-
Darcy: Is the secret that "10" is the answer to all women?
-
Darcy: Is the secret that "10" is the answer to all women?
It's not a secret.
-
Ragna: Why do you always hit people? Your brother is worried about you.
-
Ragna: "Jin, get off my goddamn case. Just, piss off already."
-
Rikuyo: What's your favorite supernatural creature to eat?
"Huh, I care more about how much 'chi' they have, it's just that werewolves have almost always more than humans, so they are bound to be more tastier!"
-
Darcy: How does it feel to be surrounded by so many girls and be rejected by them?
Ragna: What would you rather do, fight the Masked Freak or have tea with the Rabbit?
-
Darcy: How does it feel to be surrounded by so many girls and be rejected by them?
You know, my dad used to be a fisherman. He'd always tell me that there was plenty of fish in the sea, not gonna catch them all at once. So the best thing to do is to keep doing what you're doing and wait until one of them bites hook, line, and sinker.
He quit fishing a few months later for some reason.

Hey Roger, what was it like being raised by Dante and Lady?
