Fate/whatever

Stealing Jesse's idea because I'm feelin' the Fates. Old CR, crossovers and AUs, etc, are all fine too doesn't have to be Fate for Fate!

...I think you're right, if the church is choosing to watch and not step in, that's wrong. And especially bad coming from the people who should most be willing and able to help. If the mages want to fight among themselves, that's fine, as long as they don't bring other people into it. Including any mages who haven't willingly signed up. Or Heroic Spirits to do their fighting for them, I don't think that's fair to people who've already lived and suffered. The church should see that and that it's wrong and stop it. ...Sometimes to stop evil deeds, people have no choice but to sink to that level, if they're only concerned with not doing that, I can understand why, but that's bullshit. Thinking about yourself like that is totally against the point.

That's why I admire Berserker, and know we can be friends. I know he's part of the Grail and all that, and he says he's evil and he's killed people, but he's not turning his back on evil deeds now. Even though he could have ignored it to keep himself from giving in to it all, or stayed true to his old self, he isn't! He's working hard and if someone like him can do that then why not such a huge organisation that's supposed to be built to help!

[ Of the Masters that he knows, Kirei believes that Berserker's Master may be the most green and most "kind" of them. The reasons for fighting this war are by all accounts "good." Yet he does not believe a magus with such little power will be able to do much against the others. If anything, it would be kinder to have him die here than see what will happen to him. It would be better to die quickly and suddenly than see all his ideals of justice die.

But even if his senses tell him so, he also would like to help. His eyes dart to the side -- yes, he wants to help because it is the right thing to do. The Church is not doing anything but standing by until the end. Until the end, hm. If he does nothing, he will be aiding in the destruction of everything. When he puts it like that to himself, he understands why he has to help -- an amateur Berserker Master will not survive to the end. ]

I understand. I will lend my assistance to you. That is really all that I can do. No one else of the Church will assist in this matter. In fact, I believe most of them have fled the city in preparation for what may be coming. [ The Beast may be something that the Church could battle, and perhaps, they are wanting to do so for the sake of their religious ideals. But Kirei -- Kirei feels he is at the crossroads of what he should do and can only believe that he should do something least he go mad during this war. ]

Your ideals are ... they are what they are. I believe if they survive through this war that will be something worth seeing.

--You will? Thank you so much, Father! I knew you'd understand, how could you not, right? Berserker didn't think so, so now I get to rub it in his face!

[He grins from ear to ear and reaches out for Kirei's hand to shake it between both of his.]

That's awesome thank you! If you have any suggestions on what we should do that would be pretty helpful, but we've been scouting out that Reiroukan Master's property...

Her?

[ Is he stupid? No. He is green and too much faith in his Servant. Faith. He breathes out a half-laugh. His head drops as he decides to not comment on how Berserker understood Kirei's stancr even before asking -- yes, if he did nothing, he would not uncover anything. But if he loses himself to the madness of this war and assist a heartfelt request, something will come of it. ]

Why did you choose her?

[justiceally]

[Of course he's stupid. So stupid he doesn't even realise it. Sure it's due to ignorance, but even if he knew just how hopeless his cause is, he'd still try.]

Do you know her? It was just sort of where we ended up, I heard a mage family lived there and then he could sense Servants in the area so it was a good place to start.

[impiety]

To call her family a "mage family," like it is a common ancestry, is a crime. [ Kirei allows his surprise to fade to something ... else. If Tatsumi meets with that Master, he will die.

The Holy Church has information on all of the participants; everyone should also have an idea who is involved, too, but it seems he underestimated the amount of information that the young Master could gather on his own. Keeping him alive to the end will be difficult but he feels like it will be entertaining.

His eyes widen as he shakes his head. No. Not entertaining. That is not what he meant. ]

Are you hoping to convince her to join your cause, or kill her?

[ And he doesn't answer the question given to him but gives him another instead. ]

[justiceally]

[He nods.] They pretty much run the city, right? I'm not too optimistic that I could convince her, but I want to try anyway. If I can't, then yeah, I guess we have to kill her... That isn't my first choice with anyone though, no matter how bad they might be, it would be best to talk rationally first.

[impiety]

That will be impossible.

[ On both accounts. ]

The Master that you seek is one that truly and absolutely desires the Holy Grail. She is not someone that you will be able to convince to stop, and you will be incapable of killing her. [ No, that would be sending a kitten into a lion's den. ]

If you've already decided that if you cannot convince her that she should die, I should show my desire to assist you by killing her myself. [ Kirei finds himself surprised by his own words. He's starting to feel some unreasonable amount of interest, and uncertain if it is "right." What he is doing, it will only prolong Tatsumi's suffering in the end, even if he understands the Holy Church is wrong in doing nothing -- so what does he think that he's doing? ]
