Eins

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.]

[Still a bit on edge by the incredible mood swing there, Rin pushes Elphelt's mug toward her on the counter before sipping at her own.]

You know I can hear everything you say, right? I'm right here.

Um. There is one thing...Something I'd like you to promise me.

[ That comment went in one ear and out the other. Berserker! She looks like she is ready to beg. ]

I will fight other Servants, but please do not ask me to hurt any humans, including the other Masters.

[Elphelt's request makes her skin crawl. As if she's being accused of something heinous. It's true the most efficient way is to take out masters, and the rules of the Grail War saythat anyone who witnesses it must be killed to keep a lid on it. Rin hates that rule, and those practices. So much so she's on the verge of being offended that someone would even assume she'd stoop so low. But Rin's not about to have an explosive burst of anger. Instead her eyes narrow, and she glares into her tea.]

I will do my best so that you don't have to do those things, [is all she can manage, so that down the line she cannot be called a liar.]

[ Elphelt isn't quite sure how to interpret that response. Sure, there is no way she can accept that as a promise, but had her Master wanted to win at any cost then wouldn't she have rejected the request altogether? At the same time, Rin seems angry. Again. No, not seems; Elphelt is positive Rin is angry. ]

Thank you. [ Her voice is quiet and she is no longer looking at Rin, instead focusing on her own tea. She manages to drink from the mug without breaking it.

The only point of pride she has as an Anti-Heroic spirit is the fact she never killed anyone in her life, failing to become a monster. She would not like that to change now. ]

[Rin is quick to finish her tea. She rinses the cup so a dark ring won't form at the bottom in the morning. After a good rinse she sets the mug down and begins to walk out of the kitchen.]

I'm headed to bed. We'll speak more in the morning.

Oh, okay.

[ No goodnight or anything because she doesn't get the hint. Instead, she downs the last of her tea and gets up to follow Rin to the bedroom. She seems...excited about something, but is keeping herself restrained. ]

[Rin only finds it a little odd that she's being followed, and doesn't really question it until they reach the hall down which her room resides. It's there, before she makes it toward anything that might give away where she's sleeping, that the young magus turns around.]

What are you doing?

[ Elphelt raises an eyebrow and tilts her head. Rin may as well have asked her if the sky is blue or water is wet. Isn't the answer clear as day? Tonight is their first night together after their union! She has wifely duties to perform. ]

...Joining you? I wonder what our bedroom is like. Oh, and don't worry, I may be bigger than you, but I don't mind being the big or little spoon.

What?! No. No, no, no. We are not sharing a bed. We're not. We're not spooning either!

[Suddenly she's glad she has yet to make it to her room.]

W-What? I'm so stressed. I was hoping for some hugs. Wait, is this one of those separate bed type of things? What year is it? How far back did I get summoned?

[ Is this the 1950s where no one is allowed to share a bed? Or, wait, wasn't that just on television? She forgets. Regardless, to think her Master would be such a prude... ]

A—Aren't you supposed to be patrolling the house so no one tries killing me in my sleep?

[Granted any magus worth their salt probably sets up magical traps around their home for protection even outside of the Holy Grail War time, but still!]

[ She furrows her brow and shakes her head, clearly disappointed in her Master's lack of familiarity with Berserkers. If she could be any of the other classes, she would! ]

...Have you ever heard of a sneaky Berserker? Our strength is, um...strength, not observational skills. Any class with basic stealth abilities could get by. Don't even get me started on an actual Assassin! No, the optimal place for a Berserker to ensure her Master's safety is by her Master's side.

[ Madness Enhancement! She can think and communicate clearly using sensible rationale so long as that logic doesn't contradict the fixation that is at the core of her madness. The safest place for Rin is by Elphelt's side and that is where Elphelt wants to be, so no skewed perceptions of reality needed. ]

[She didn't want her to sneak around the house, she wanted her to guard it! But there's absolutely no way to get anything through that thick head of hers, is there? When Rin yawns it manages to sound angry to some degree, and then she stomps off.]

Fine! Just don't break my bed!

B-Break your bed? Oh my, just what kind of fantasies are going through my husband's head...? I may be a Berserker, but I'd rather you be gentle with me.

[ And right back around to misinterpreting everything Rin says in favor of this newlywed fantasy. But she is absolutely going to protect Rin with her life! Maybe if she does, Rin will end up liking her after all. El would like that... ]

[THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE— Good lord, it's no use. Rin roughly opens the door to her bedroom. Once she's inside she flings open her drawers and begins to peel off her socks so that she may get ready for bed.

Elphelt's free to peek. They're both girls, and Rin refuses to acknowledge this marriage as anything but the delusions of a mad servant.]

[ Of course she is going to peek. There are no secrets between them, right? Their relationship needs to be as strong as possible if they want any chance to win this war. She will quietly, politely watch. There is nothing weird here.

...Except Elphelt is immediately sweating bullets. Sure, in life she may have obsessed with the idea of finding a 'husband', but even alive she had her heart set on her share of girls. Atop that, her Thirst is EX rank. Any way you cut it, her Master is attractive and that is not the Mad Enhancement speaking. ]

Oh, wow. Her legs are so nice.

[ Again, whispering to herself not quite as quiet as she thinks. ]

[Rin freezes immediately with her hands at the zipper of her skirt.]

It's rude to stare. Also, I can hear you.

[She leaves the skirt zippered, and begins putting on pants. Depriving Elphelt a look at her panties.]

[ ???? Wait, what. Their foreplay is going in the wrong direction. Why?! ]

...Sorry, sorry! But it's true? Master is lovely.

[ Elphelt is doing her best to not screw up so that she can get to know her Master better, but is just so bad at everything. ]

If you're going to say something just say it. Your whispering is too loud to be unheard anyway.

[Frustrated she rips off her sweater and tosses on a lounge chair that sits in the far corner. Rin is quick to grab the matching top of her pajamas to get it on.

She'll just have to remove her bra with her hands inside her top.]

[ Her own husband is acting like she is a creep. That is a severe blow to her self confidence. ]

Do you think we can get me a pair of cute pajamas? I know I don't need to sleep, but...

[ She finally steps into the bedroom now that there is no point in peeking from the outside. ]

Um, Master? There actually is something I would like to say, if that's alright.

What is it?

[Rin stops, and probably looks a little silly with the arms of her pajamas empty, and the torso overstuffed as she allows her unhooked bra to fall off her shoulders.]

[ She awkwardly pulls at her collar for a moment before thinking of how to word this. ]

Um. I know I'm not what you expected or what you wanted, but thank you for summoning me. Not only did I never fall in love when I was alive, I never had any friends. So, it will be nice to have a second chance at life, in a way, and make at least one.

[ She is positive Rin is her husband, but assuming they are friends feels presumptuous. ]

[...Oh. Well that's kind of sad. Rin empathizes. Just a little. She has friends, but they're not too close considering as a mage she should be distant as to not get outsiders involved. Elphelts admission tugs at her heart a little, and she sighs.]

The last door at the end of the hall was the room belong to my parents. You can borrow some of my mother's pajamas.

Ah, really?! Um...You should be safe here for a few minutes, but please shout if you need me, okay?

[ Her demeanor goes back to being cheery and runs out of the room. No matter how stern or disappointed Rin may seem, Elphelt is confident she is a good person. The answer to her question from before wasn't perfect, but she wants to believe.

Minutes later, she comes back not in a pair of pajamas, but carrying all of Rin's mother's pajamas. She isn't going to pick one without Rin's input. Duh.]

[Too bad for Elphelt by the time she's back Rin is already tucked away in bed with the covers pulled over.]
