Eins

[erbe]

For the elements, silver and iron. For the foundation, stone and the Archduke of Pacts. And for the ancestor, my great master, Schweinorg. Close the gates of the four directions. Come forth from the Crown and follow the forked road leading to the Kingdom. Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill. Repeat five times. When each is filled, destroy it. Set.

Heed my words. My will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny. If you heed the Grail's call and obey my will and reason, then answer me! I hereby swear that I shall be all the good in the world. That I shall defeat all evil in the world. Thou Seventh Heaven, clad in the three great words of power, come forth from the circle of binding, Guardian of the Scales!

[This is a master (haha) post for Fate/PSLs! If you need anything specific tailored to your character (like a starter that doesn't start with the summoning like the above) let me know! We'll work something out over PM or Plurk.]

I wouldn't say that. To see how the world has been shaped by humanity is fascinating, but it is bittersweet to know that comes at the cost of losing other races. All eras have their own charm.

[...but for mages, it was most certainly better back then. The world itself was more magical, full of mystery. He'll keep that to himself since she likely knows that anyway.]

[erbe]

[For a brief moment Tohsaka wonders what it would be like to live in an era full of magic and fantastical peoples. Everyday a new adventure, and the magic much closer to true miracles than what's achievable today.

Everyone is packed into the train. Tohsaka lifts her hand to take hold of an overhead grip so she doesn't reel back when the rail starts forward.]

I wonder if some of them still exist in hiding like magi do.

[lastparadise]

They do, but they do not mix with humans so freely.

[Which is to say an entity like himself almost certainly wouldn't be born anymore. Naturally, species that prey on humans physically like vampires do increase in numbers now and again, but the humans that are turned aren't born that way.]

[erbe]

[Now that is a shame. Mostly she was hoping to maybe meet someone different or exciting when she left Japan to study at Clock Tower. Perhaps it'll just be other magi like her. Which is still neat! But not nearly as romantic as a mixed lineage person who could teach her more about the wonders held beyond the realm of normal human scope.

The train chugs along. The rail zipping them down the line taking them to the newer part of the city— Shinto.]

How interesting. And even then only certain magi are privy to having a Heroic Spirit as a familiar. Human life has gotten a bit dull, hasn't it?

[lastparadise]

My, my. Is that how you see it? Life is what you make of it. If you just go with the flow, chances are it will indeed be a bit dull.

[He hopes she chooses to go against that flow. Wouldn't it be fun to accompany her for a while after this war? There's already a Servant present that's been around for ten years — he wouldn't stay that long since his presence drains her mana and she likely will want to have a child to pass her magic on to, but a few years would be fine. Her mana output is impressive, she can sustain him in day to day life.]

[erbe]

Oh no, you misunderstand me. I don't view my life as dull by a long shot. But humans who aren't magi must struggle so valiantly to find wonder in their life.

[She's blessed to have magic be her reason to strive and work hard. It makes her life exciting, and meaningful.]

[lastparadise]

They don't know what they're missing. That's fine though, isn't it? Ordinary humans have their dreams as well. Many reach for the skies. They've even set foot on the moon, and someday...

[He trails off, momentarily distracted by the possibilities. Rin will probably have to prompt him to get him to continue.]

[erbe]

[She actually doesn't prompt him. Mostly because she's not all too interested in the lives of ordinary people. Even if the ones close to her are kind of charming. Tohsaka disembarks the train when they reach Shinto, and they come upon the newer part of the city. A more modernized area that has pieces of it hastily put together to try and get everything looking back to 'normal' since the advent of the fire from ten years ago.]

I don't really like this part of town. It always seems so artificial because they rushed rebuilding it.
