Hey Ayakashi, if you don't agree with my minor ad-libbing, feel free to ignore it.

Oh, I'm fine with things.
I've just been quite distracted as of late ( TwT).
I'll be working on the answer post in a short while.

Uchiten

Still absent-mindedly following her with his eyes, Uchiten was not expecting the woman to unceremoniously almost get up on his face to talk to him, with a look on her face caught between suspicion and annoyance. Leaning quite a bit more to the latter however, if the sharpness in her words was anything to go by. In any event, it was anything but surprising that he too should raise the attentions of others. He wasn't particularly trying to hide his very telling presence, in the end.

In good humor, he smiled at her and responded. "Hmm, who knows. I'm not quite sure myself. Maybe I know you, maybe I don't."

Even as he spoke, his eyes dissected her aura, telling him of the power she exuded. He had been mistaken. It was not Onmyo. It was similar and might've worked like it, but her energy wasn't the same as a proper user. Onmyo was ultimately a power that encompassed much, but her signature only felt superficially the same. Instead, it was reminiscent of something baser, closer to demons and curses. And what's more, he could tell that much like him, she was primarily not of flesh, but of spirit.

How curious.

"In the way you put things, I should say I am happy to see you. But not as much as my cute shiki seems to be, miss vixen." Uchiten said after a moment of pause, leaning closer to her himself as he slowly spoke the last sentence.

Vixen. That man had just called her a vixen.

'How conveniently lovely,' Caster thought to herself as a smile drew itself on her lips. It wasn't an amicable smile, nor was it like this man's knowing smile, rather, this was a forced facade to keep her dignity as an elegant woman worthy of the highest of courts. Caster would never have allowed herself to grab this man by the collar and strangle him alive, but it was clear that somewhere in her head, the thought of doing so still lingered.

Being associated to a 'Fox Spirit' never inspired many positive reactions from the pink-haired beauty's part... yes, being compared to, or even told about 'her' was something that Caster thought as disgusting.

Her golden eyes narrowed as the man approached his face, and Caster picked up the faint scent of sake from his mouth. The smell of alcohol wasn't very strong, and he didn't seem drunk, or rather, he seemed unable to get drunk.

'Perhaps because he was drunk on his own darkness all of the time? And what's this shiki that he was speaking about... could it be...'

Caster's index finger was lifted up to the man's nose, and gently, she poked the middle frame of his glasses, lightly pushing in them into the sides of his nose bridge, on which they rested.

"I'm afraid that your shiki is mistakenly rejoicing itself. Please don't call people what they aren't, they might find that rather offending, you know?"

The end of Caster's sentence was accompanied with a slightly stronger push on the glass frame, notifying the man in black that these details quite mattered to her.

Uchiten

That was when a most fortunate coincidence happened which made him glad to have waited at his leisure, if only for the momentary sight of it.

The beautiful and composed woman who joined them in the delightful establishment caught his attention the moment she walked in. As she stopped at the passage of Wanderer, in turn did Uchiten pause at her form. She was.... familiar.

Not familiar in the way she reminded him of someone or you found a person on the street and remembered you had seen their face before, but in a more pertinent way than that. She looked human despite her beauty, but her presence unmistakably gave her away, to Uchiten at least. Her aura had the distinct tell of an Onmyo practitioner about it, but even more than that, it seeped of yokai energy. There was no feature about her that he could specifically recognize, but the air about her was the same as something he couldn't quite place.

He felt a little tug at his mind, and turned his attention to the link between him and his Shikigami. One of his Kitsune was excitedly calling him through it, sending the same expression over and over again.

'Fox spirit, fox spirit!'

He allowed himself to blink behind his dark glasses, and observed the woman walk up to the bartender with growing curiosity.

Lecherous stares were something that Caster could handle with ease. Heck, she took these as a compliment, for if every living being desired her body, her Young Master would only be more honored and graced in having at his disposition, and his only, Misukumep, the beauty that none could surpass!~

The stare of this man in black though was quite different. It didn't help that to Caster, he had an ominous, somewhat familiar feeling. In fact, he felt like a certain 'Dark Studmon Seimei'... only that the man's aura was even darker.

Caster threw an annoyed glance at him, somewhat unsettled by the smile drawn on his lips. He seemed quite happy at any rate... maybe too happy.

Yes, too happy for Caster to have a serene peace of mind, and also, the strange fluctuations surrounding his body were too agitated to let her rest assured her that this man in black wasn't a dark spirit of sorts.

'I'd better see what this strange chap wants with me before he ends up stalking me. I really don't like him, and him finding out where the Young Master and I live would be problematic...'

Caster slowly took a few steps towards the man in black with red shades, shopping bags swinging lightly in her hands.

"Is it that I know you somehow, mister Red Shades... or are you just happy to see me?" Caster asked tongue-in-cheek once she was next to him, tilting forwards as she began the second part of her question. The young woman closed the distance mostly because she wanted to have a closer look at this weirdo, and well, that is what she got.

This person definitely smelled the same as some sort of living curse -- there was anything but proper 'life' that was flowing out of his body, rather, it felt quite dead.

Type Moon Polls / Re: The Battle of Giants: ORT, Primate Murder and fully incarnated Angra Mainju?

« on: February 25, 2014, 11:47:49 AM »

In comparison, Primate Murder does not qualify as Type-Gaia

Canonically, PM is superior to Crimson Moon. Your argument that ORT is clearly superior to PM holds water when we get confirmation about the difference in power between CM and ORT. I don't remember we got such confirmation from Nasu

It's a statement from this Q&A:

Q: Who would be stronger if Servants fought the 27 Ancestors? Servant's also have superhuman battle ability, but the 27 Ancestors are also superhuman monsters.... I got the impression that ORT, Primate Murder, Altrouge Brunestud, and so on were obviously stronger than Servants.

A: All I can is they're both powerful.... They're both beings that live in mystery, so the only thing that can be said is that it all depends on the situation the moment it comes done to ""having the means of killing the other guy somehow". Among those, Earth rules won't even apply to ORT in the first place and Primate Murder has the super advantage against primates so they're in a league of their own, I suppose. Speaking of which, for one Primate Murder, seven Guardians would be the appropriate amount.

Basically, Primate Murder as the absolute authority over anything that is 'HUMAN', meaning that it can pretty much destroy most Servants and whatever human that thinks they're too cool for the doge.

But read on further, and see that ORT doesn't even follow Earth's rules, and we all know that ORT isn't Human.

Also, it wasn't said that Primate Murder is superior to Crimson Moon, rather it was said that:

It is currently under Altrouge Brunestud's control, and though it is not related to vampires, it counted among the Ancestors due to it having copied its master and developed a taste for drinking human blood. With this by her side, Altrouge is said to be a monster superior to even Crimson Moon.

"With this by her side" means Altrouge combined with Primate Murder, and who knows if the two other Guards of hers aren't included in that statement. I'm pretty sure that anyone would have problems when facing four of the most overpowered Dead Apostle Ancestors to exist.

So no, there is no concrete evidence that Primate Murder is stronger that Crimson Moon by itself. Also, Type-Mercury has the strongest Offense of all Aristoteles, and that's nothing to scoff at.

Her Onmyoudou is a bit different to conventional Onmyoudou... at least, it's different to Type-Moon's Houjutsu.


Basically, the Eastern school of Magecrafts are incompatible with the more 'classical' magecraft schools of the West, as unlike what is taught at the Clock Tower, Onmyoudou in the Type-Moon universe have to 'become one with Gaia', or one with 'spirits'. Basically, it's a bit like sinking with Gaia and its Terminals, compared to Magecraft where there's a bit more of a scientific approach - steps, foundations and self-suggestion. It's using Gaia rather than becoming one with her.


Caster's Houjutsu, as written in her profile though, is just 'Houjutsu' - it's not the said school of magic, but it simply looks like it. In truth, everything that Caster does is to be more proper, related to cursecraft and witchcraft, which are perhaps included in Houjutsu/Onmyoudou's arts, but are only part of the curriculum, not the entirety of it.


This might actually sync in with Uchiten even better because she feels more like a demon (which are materialized curses in Fateverse) than a Fox Spirit (an aspect of a Divine Spirit, aka Amaterasu). Her shikigami are also comparable to being materialized curses rather than familiars animated by magecraft.

Well, here went my first post.
Casko has the pleasure of heading inside Rose's bar for some money-saving run. Not that I improvised liberties for our little favorite pink-haired girl to get into some brewing plot.

I guess that Uchiten/Wander/Rose/whoever's in the bar can feel free to interact with me, if they feel the need to do so.

Caster (Tamamo No Mae, Fuyuki Ver.)
Street Nearby a Certain Bar.

The Nexus was one strange city. It was a jungle of concrete, a land apparently governed by the Will of Humanity, but in there resided not only humans - countless beings of the supernatural, Spirits, Monsters, Dragons and whatever mythical entity could fit into the many mythologies riddling history's page were present. They were not oppressed, they were not being removed from the system – they simply were. Walking about the pavements, driving in cars and tending to their own business like regular inhabitants of the city... this would've been no different from Tokyo or any great metropolis of the 'present' world, if it wasn't for the fact that some humans were replaced with phantasmal beasts and monsters of all kinds.

It had been a while since that time. A while since through some inexplicable phenomenon, the Servant Tamamo No Mae had been thrown into this dimension, a realm bordering between the physical and spiritual, never having a definite existence, fluid and ever changing. As much as Tamamo had tried to get used to it, which she did for the greater part actually, there still was the lingering feeling that even by her standards, this realm was more like a fantasy than concrete reality.

This really looked like these contrived crossed universes that spawned every time the audiences wanted interesting clashes between characters of different settings.

Truly a cliché scenario straight from fiction.

“Aiya... maybe that I'm being a bit too aware of things,” Caster thought to herself as she walked down the road, appearing fairly 'normal' to anyone that would cast an eye on her.

Well, that's what she hoped for.

The young woman wore clothes that, in theory, were meant to help her meld into the crowd. The term 'in theory' should note as important, for while her theory was quite good, Caster's tastes in civilian clothing were quite flashy... and excessive flashiness, as sad as it is, rarely melded in with the adjective 'stealthy'.

Caster had a magenta tube top with white outlines, exposing the entirety of her shoulders and a portion of her gorgeous cleavage. On top of the tube top, was an unbuttoned, somewhat large casual shirt, checkered patterns of a white and pink color making up the textile of the cloth's surface. A long light-blue jean fit tightly against her legs, following their gentle curves, and her footwear consisted of a pair of white laced boots.

She might've been better off on some sort of fashion model show rather than the streets of the Nexus, especially since quite a bunch of less refined individuals made shady advances on her or whistled as she walked by... but then, Caster did like looking pretty. 'A good wife has to, like, actually look good for her husband!'

So she thought.

Nevermind that she was more like a mother to her Master than an actual wife.

Caster walked on while letting out a sigh, somewhat exasperated that her Master was still such a young man. 'Too much of a young man,' she felt like complaining sometimes, but she acknowledged it wasn't her right to complain – her wish had been granted, so maybe that rather than being reactive, she should be proactive and cultivate the matter to its best potential...

The bags of groceries Caster held gently swayed in synchronicity with her every step, and her long waist-length hair flowed with a hint of transience as a gentle breeze blew. The hair was usually worn in a high ponytail, but Caster thought that she'd best change her hairstyle a today to something new. Having the same outfit on a daily basis would naturally be boring and a sign of her lack of creativity, which Caster didn't want.

'Hmm, I should hurry up back home, yes.'

Musing about her looks, while important for a woman that had to keep their dignity, was an act that needed to cede place when priorities such as 'What will I cook for the Young Master's meal tonight?' were at hand. Caster picked up the checklist she had stashed in one of the multiple plastic bags hanging from her arms, and thought of what interesting dish she could make.

Just as she was about to read though, Caster picked up the familiar scent of alcohol from nearby. It seemed to come from a building a few meters or two ahead. Raising her head, the pink-haired beauty noticed the board on which the establishment's name was written –

“Prickling Prickle Cornerclub...” Caster mumbled to herself as she walked up to it.

It was a fairly small tavern, its inside packed with all kinds of patrons, ranging from normal humans to shadier, strange beings that were clearly inhuman. These kinds of places, Caster generally avoided with care, but the Servant noticed something interesting being offered here -- on the menu displayed at the entrance, the alcoholic drinks that were sold at this tavern were relatively cheap in comparison to the shops where she went to get these most of the time, and this 'Prickling Prickle Cornerclub' did put brands of high quality on sale. Caster could use some wine or sake to cook up her special recipes of Teriyaki sauce and Honey Glazed pork. Her Master really liked these dishes... not that he knew that there was alcohol in them, but a then little of spirits didn't hurt much, had it ever?

Caster faked a cough before walking into the pub. She already told herself that she' make her business and stay here as short as possible.

But well, things rarely go according to plan.

Wanderer

...

"Excuse me, ma'am, but might I have the bill? Oh, and if this man decides to keep drinking, please, allow me to cover it in advance."

I reach my hand into my pocket for several golden coins. My politeness now is mostly so that I can get to the location of my brother as soon as possible. If it is who the presence indicates, certain ...events might not be so far off. A blond man is trying to get me to come over, but I can't spare much more time in this location. I nod to him, absentmindedly, considering what I should do. Perhaps, if it really is my brother, I might have to go for a ride.

The moment Caster entered, a mysterious figure quickly walked by her. There was a strange feel to that entity, one that was quite unsettling. It left a hollow cry in her ears, like the one armies fighting on a battlefield, clashing in blood, pain and death – a very unpleasant reminder of what she actually experienced when the existence known as 'Tamamo No Mae' killed over ten thousand soldiers by itself.

Caster froze still at the doorstep, eyeing this man that had the makings of a traveler. She did not know why she suddenly felt a certain sort of strange compassion for him – was it perhaps because he vaguely had an aura like hers, like an existence that had caused misfortune and death by merely being next to others?

Maybe that it was still such a kind of existence.

'Misukume, focus on what you're here for!'

Trying to stick to what she had told herself she'd do, that is, not spending a very long time in this place, Caster brought her attention back to inside the shop and headed towards the bartender.

Buying alcohol for home use in a pub was generally unheard of, but Caster couldn't really afford to pass on such an occasion to get some cheap drinks, as the store where she had managed to get a job at had recently had the courtesy of closing down - it was a mere two weeks after she got in, and all thanks to some idiots.

I think that all should be fine.
Hopefully.


P.S: It's nitpicking, but I'd rather prefer to be identified as an 'it' at least.
