Some of us have gotten some strange ones. I thought you might have, too.

[she holds out her phone to medb to show her her screen - on it, there's a message from an unkonwn sender, which reads:]

i̴̯̋m̵̿̍ ̷͆͒o̶̾̽ḱ̵͝ ̸͆̕p̵͠͝l̸̓̽e̷͗̌ă̷̈́s̵̊̚é̴͘ ̷͊͒i̷̋̋n̸̍̕d̷̏̍u̸̾̈́l̵͒͂g̵̒̚e̸̅̄ ̸́̾-̶̈́̅ ̵͂͋d̷̊̈́

[fergalicious]

Wow, now I feel left out.

[ She's not popular? Imagine that.

She looks at this message with a frown. That's kind of creepy. ]

Who's okay?

[shiftingwinds]

...that's the thing, I'm not sure. Some of the others have said they've received messages from people we know to be dead.

[...]

The only person who might sign with a "D" that I can think of is someone I would have expected to write to you.

[fergalicious]

The dead?

[ She's genuinely surprised to hear that. ]

They can contact us now?

[ She looks down at the message again. ]

Well, if it's them, they probably think they don't have to worry about how much I indulge.

[ She indulges just by breathing sometimes. ]

[shiftingwinds]

That seems to be the case - unless it's something else, borrowing their names. But Mineo received messages that were signed by Law and Fukuda...

[so... there's that.]

...ahaha, I wonder if I've given them the impression that they need to worry about my indulgences. I've done well enough so far, I think.

[fergalicious]

Mineo's popular, huh?

[ Or is it because he's loud.... both?

She hums. ]

Maybe it's because you switched to Envy, and they're worried about them, too.

[ Although... how much Douman worries for anyone is another question entirely. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Sounds like it... ahaha, if I'm a little jealous, do you think that counts for one of my indulgences?

[would be funny if it did]

It could be. Or maybe they're concerned that I haven't found many others to indulge with since they died.

[fergalicious]

If you are, you can probably make a good argument for it!

[ She is half-serious, but she doesn't exactly think that is something that would make SQX jealous, really. ]

That could be it, too. You two really got along, huh?

[ Before it turned out they might have killed for gay drama. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... a teeny, tiny bit. Probably not enough to count!

[alas! shi qingxuan really is the type to get jealous over petty things like that.]

...we got along pretty well, I think. [she smiles] They were very kind to me.

[which

let me tell you


was not at all what i expected when i got that cr.]

[fergalicious]

[ britt, after modding snowend: is this the same clown?

Well, then! Maybe envy isn't that terrible of a sin team (steam) to be on for SQX. ]

Does that outweigh what people think they've done?

[shiftingwinds]

[FOR FUCKING REAL, THOUGH.]

...it's hard to reconcile what people think they did with the person who spent time with me. [...] I just wish I could have - asked them.

[fergalicious]

They could be both.

[ There's nothing to say a cold-blooded killer can't also be kind to someone. ]

I don't know if the dead can contact us, then we can contact them back, but...

... A Servant like Ashiya Douman can be summoned again. Not here or now, but it's not impossible for someone like you when you have all your powers.

[shiftingwinds]

I suppose that's true.

[god! why do so many of her friends turn out to be killers. laughs in douman and mahito.]

...but they wouldn't remember, right?

They said - they said that Servants typically forget their experiences upon returning and being summoned anew. [...] ...but wherever they are now, they're okay. That's something, I suppose.

[fergalicious]

If they're summoned for the usual reasons, that's true, but it's not always the case. I remember one of my past summonings.

[ F/GO does whatever it wants for its narrative purposes. ]

But they could also always pretend not to remember.

[shiftingwinds]

You—?

[???]

But I thought you were a Master, not a Servant...?

[fergalicious]

You can be both. All you need as a Master is to provide energy to a Servant.

[ She makes some kind of vague hand gesture, as if to say it's a little more complicated than that, but it's fine. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[huh. sounds like there's a lot about fate/ that sqx just doesn't understand. which works, because i sure as hell don't understand it either!]

I see...

[fergalicious]

[ She can see that SQX doesn't see, but it's fine. She doesn't care to explain too much either. ]

Don't worry too much about it. What Douman and I had was... [ She waves a hand. ] Special circumstances.

[shiftingwinds]

...it would almost have to be, right? Since - there's not really a way to provide that energy to anyone, here.

[they're all NERFED]

[fergalicious]

Yeah. But even if we could use our abilities, I'd say it'd still be special circumstances.

[ Servants as Masters are real and possible and it happens, but it's not a common thing. ]

You might be a better Master for them.

[shiftingwinds]

[she looks surprised



i was about to say she also feels surprised but this isn't taking place during memshare week.]

Really? It's hard to imagine a better Master than you, though.

[fergalicious]

[ memshare week..... i love you, britt

She laughs. ]

Oh, I'm a very good Master, and I would never let go of a Servant, but... did they ever tell you about their wish?

[shiftingwinds]

[eMOTIONSHARE WEEK AAAA FCK SORRY I'M JUST TRYING TO FLING OUT TAGS QUICKLY BETWEEN WORK CALLS]

...they did. The night they died, they told me - before curfew...

[fergalicious]

[ you're valid and i support you. ]

If it's the same thing I've been told, you might be a better guide for that.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... I don't know about that.

[...]

Things are going to be a bit different for me when I return home. At the very least, I don't know that I"d be able to provide them with the energy they need.
