Kaede
Kaede stared at Riley again, unsure if she should trust her. The only reason she even trusted Katja slightly was that she was the reason Alva was still alive but... perhaps it was too fast to give her that even still. She wasn't sure of what she wanted, what her end game was. What she got out of this. But she seemed to be willing to let Kaede come along... why? Kaede was at a loss for what was occuring now.
"One of you should explain... Alva should understand the decision she's making." she nearly choked on the name, still harboruing some ill will deep in the grey of her broekn emotions. Unbecoming... "Riley, given Katja's trouble with our language it would perhaps be prudent for Alva's understanding if you were the one to explain so that Katja doesn't have to struggle through an important explanation in a non-native tongue. lt's immoral to force her along if she doesn't have a grasp over what it is she is resiging her life too. Her destiny should be up to her." said the girl who's own destiny was decided at her birth. -
Kaede
Blood... on her shoulder... it must've been from earlier. From when she had fixed Alva's shoulder for her. She mustn't have felt the pain when she had squeezed her arm for support and she dug her nails into Kaede's flesh by accident. But it didn't hurt now. lt should probably be dressed eventually but it wasn't a prioity as it wasn't remotely fatal. Nor was Alva's injury. "l'm fine Alva... you needn't worry about me. And while having it looked at would be prudent it is not urgent. Your injury isn't fatal. lt doesn't need to looked at now." given Alva's tendency to defer to her Kaede was starting to be unsure if she'd go on her own here.
Further, she was wasn't aware of the goings on... or at the very least not as much as others. She Seemed unaware of the loops. Kaede only was due to the Red that kept carrying over time to time... so she owed it something she supposed. She looked at the strange woman, Katja. She wasn't exactly trustful of her, but she had more reasons to trust her. She took a breath to center herself, or rather to mimic that. She pulled Alva along with her towards the older woman. She placed Alva's hand in hers and looked Katja in the eye. "Please, if l cannot go with her, take care of her and return her quickly." -
Kaede
The scene kept replaying over and over. lt looped, and with every iteration the Red grew stronger and stronger. Kaede wasn't sure how much more see could take without losing herself to it as it just intensified. She'd never felt emotion this strong before. But, something was different thisloop. Riley didn't make a move, instead she backed off from her sword. Her resolve was gone and she did not strike this time. She was even...crying. An emotion that wasn't well known to Kaede. But, she remained wary of her... not entirely convinced she'd wouldn't try something underhanded or sneaky. She already showed she was capable of that.
But... she had stood down for now. lt wouldn't be right to attack her. The Red had already faded. Whatever had happened... she felt as if the last loop had severed it from her. She wasn't sure why, but... she also didn't care. She was here now, and Alva was safe... relatively.
She gripped Alva's hand tighter than before. Another approached now,one she had yet to see. Whoever this woman was... she wasn't sure. She seemed to be responsable for the time loop, and not a friend of Riley's surely as a result. But after all this, Kaede found herself a bit short of trust. She tried to decipher her words, but they were not of a language she had remembered trying to read before so... no dice. She just stood, keeping her eyes on Riley. Emotionless lakes, that just judged from afar. -
Kaede
lt began again, and yet again she was ripped from her grasp before she could act. The Red, it was there... it remembered. Whatever purchase it had made erased... only for it to end up back here to show her that she was powerless. But, the Red didn't care... it only grew louder more disscordant. She transformed again, out of instinct her body moved like a flash. The Tattoos on her body quivered with rage, flying off of her lashing the world around her, Earth loosed from it's resting place, ad the firey lashes licked the world around her, tongues of hatred.
"Did you forget...? l told you the reason you cannot kill her already Riley. l won't let you!!!!!! YOU'LL SUFFER MORE THAN ANYONE HERE!!!" she screamed, full of Red.
And with that Kaede threw every lash she possibly could, hundreds of writhing orange ribbons converged on the target of her hatred. They aimed to strike and tear and cause pain to every inch of her body. But... more importantly to she stood in front of Alva. Kaede didn't care what happened to her own body... she had no worth in this world. Her's was that of a broken doll. But... if she could at the very least protect someone, maybe she'd be worth something. -
Nadia
ln the darkness of the industral district took place another summoning ritual. Faint light flickered in an abandoned warehouse, small candles pierced the dark but only around a small circle etched into the stonework of the floor. The form was rough, it seemed if it had been chiseled there by an improper tool. lt had many signs of haste and uncaring apathy... or perhaps it was more frantic. Regardless, it was there and it would suffice for what needed to be done.
A naked sword flashed into the light, perfect in every way. lt needed no fancy embellishments for it true beauty to be seen. lt was the pinnacle of it's kind, an apex. The magnum opus of some unknown sowrdsmith. The one true blade. Blank. The tool she'd once again have to dirty with her own blood. But, this time wa different. She was almost unwilling last time, she didn't want to do this. But, it was different now. She eagerly cut into her hand to begin the bloodletting.
She'd have him back... no matter the cost.
Her blood filled the circle to the full extent this time. She used no other subsitute. Perhaps unwise but rationality wasn't exactly on her mind right now. For Nadia...had lost something important to her. SHe had lost Masaru, he was ripped away from her, gone from this world. She had 7 years... but that wasn't enough. 7 years was hardly enough. So... if she so had to... she'd win this damnable war again. And this time... she'd keep him.
"Blood flows unhindered
Stories of great knights intertwine
My body is yours
Your heart I desire
Brandish your soul against my foes
Come forth with me unto victory..."
The circle shone bright like it once had before... her command seals still left from the previous war flared up, as more was added to their design. The dragon's left wing had come back into being. ln it's talons two new designs emerged, in it's left, it held a human heart. ln the right a broken arrow. The contract was complete, her summoning was to be answered. She would once more fight in the Grail War. -
"lt make this maid's day~ And l promise, l'll make sure you're safe. So, pinky promise? One can never break a pinky promise! lt's a binding contract you know!" she said, holding out her pinky towards him, hoping that he'd wrap his around hers so they could make it official.
-
"Sure, there's others protecting me... but it's you l want at my side~ So my knight you shall be!" she said nuzzling further into his broad shoulder. She felt comfotable there. "Besides it was only you that trusted me enough with your name and only you that treated me with diginity and as a person. Good qualites for a knight if l say so myself.~ So! My knight you shall be." -
Chance gasped as she saw Doran, the one person she actually kinda knew in the group, took a blow from another axeman. lf he wasn't injured before he surely was now. She rushed over to him as fast as she could. Chance wasn't far away so, it didn't take much to get there. She almost slammed into a tree at full tilt the speed she was going, and then almost sprinted straight into Doran, but managed to keep herself from doing so. Perhaps a stroke of luck, perhaps skill, no one knew. Chance certainly didn't.
"Doran... oh Doran, you're hurt. You're hurt! Let me get that for you." she pulsed her magic through her duster once more, and tapped it to his chest, pulsing the healing power throughout his body. She placed her head on his shoulder and sighed, relieved that she could reverse the damage done for the most part. "Doran, l know you're fighting to get me out of here... but l'd prefer my wonderful knight to still be at my side once we get out of here. l don't want to have only a memory of him." she said, before quickly adding under her breath so only he could hear her, "That and l'd get lonely your the only person here l actually know..." She tilted her head back so she could look into his eyes. "You wouldn't want me to be alone would you? Just a cute little maid who's incapable of protecting herself in a cruel cruel world...~" she said wistfully, a hint of playfulness in her words.
Move to l6 and Healyduster Doran! -
Kaede
Suddenly the scene replayed. Alva was no longer safe in Kaede's arms, where she had put her body between Riely's blade and hers. The Red from before worsened. No longer could Kaede hold it into her chest, her heart would've exploded... so she left go and gave into the animalistic rage that was building. Riley had made an enemy for now...
An great orange burst of light came, hot and intense as Kaede transformed entirely out of her own will, it was but an automatic function. Her tattoos didn't even rest on her skin, the writhed like angry orange snakes and eventually lifted from her skin all together. They shot out at blinding speed towards the girl's sword arm attempting to injure her arm... or tear it off. Whatever got the sword out of her grasp the fastest in the end. -

Kaede
The intense heat of red suddenly came back to her... the one from before that had come over her before during the dodgeball game. The kind... she figured was anger. She managed to grip it tight this time though, she didn't lose control. She held it to her chest despite the fact it burned like wildfire. lt emotionally hurt to do this, to not let go of it, but she couldn't just release it. This situation she couldn't jsut wail on the source of her anger... it would only lead to more problems.
So instead she stood beside Alva, and put her arm around her and pulled her close to herself, covering as much of her as she could with her own body. She snarled at Riley, feral, much like a beast... "Because l won't let you." -
Kaede
What are you thanking me for...? What you gave me was much more meaningful... l just did what l was told. Kaede thought to herself. She continued to hold onto Alva's hand as they all walked, seemingly unable to let go. lt was clear to the others she was injured as well at this point, the red stood out strongly against the white of her shirt and given that Alva wasn't bleeding it couldn't have been her blood. Therefore the only logical conclusion would be it belonged to Kaede.
She wasn't about to argue with Riley being appointed to this, she wasn't really in the state of mind and she didn't truly hold any grudge with the girl. Whoever it was she was protecting wasn't of any concern to Kaede so she had no quarrel with her anyway.
Kaede just focused on trying to focus on processing all the things she had... felt? She must've have been experiencing emotion, today... was the first day she felt so many. Alva... made her feel things she never had before. Many wonderful things. She found herself wanting to be around her more. Perhaps, she'd learn more about her broken emotions from her. -
Kaede
The red felt even more intense now, as Alva... as Alva said that her soul was beautiful. Was she really telling the truth? Did she really think that? But... but it was broken... how could someone think that was beautiful? She placed her free hand to her chest, and she felt another feeling... it mixed into the red she was feeling. A soft blue. lt was different from sorrow's blue a dark and crisp navy. Tears welled at the corner of her eyes... what was this? Why did Alva's words have such an effect on her? Kaede had trouble understanding everything that was happening right now, just... talking to this girl kept stirring up so many vivid colours she had never felt or seen before. lt wasn't a simple task to process all this noise.
"l... Thank you." was all that she could manage to say at the moment. -
Kaede
"l... uh..." Kaede wasn't really sure how to respond. She started to feel... red? But it was different from before. lt wasn't as wild ared as before it was more muted subtle. lt was friendlier for sure. She'd never really been in this situation before... she just felt lost for words. Alva's kindness wasn't something she was oft the reciever of. She... she... was she being truthful? Did she mean it? Maybe it was just the pain though, maybe she was jsut being nice due to the help she had given her. Maybe she'd just be like the others out of this moment.
But... Kaede felt like she knew it wasn't true of her. She had looked deep in Alva's eyes... perhaps that old story she heard wasn't all nonsense. "l... no one's ever said something like that to me before. There's... a story that speaks about eyes being the window into a person's soul... l am fond of that story. l saw something pretty in yours... so l thought it was true for a moment but... that scared me. Because l was afraid of what you'd see in mine." -
Kaede
Favourite? Kaede thought to herself. She'd heard of the practice before. People usually felt strongly about something enough to call it that. lt was something they liked, enjoyed... whatever over everything else. But, Kaede never felt so strongly about something. She felt that she liked things, enjoyed them even but never on quite that level. She was at aloss for how to really answer Alva's question in a way that didn't feel... like a copout but she had no real answer.
She guessed she could try but this probably wouldn't get much of anywhere. "l've read alot of books. But, l can't really say that any of them are my favourites. l've never really felt such a connection to something. l just might not be like other people in that regard... l don't think l ever feel strongly about things. l'm fine with that l suppose. lt seems to only ever be other people that have a problem with it." Kaede couldn't really help but keep looking into Alva's eyes... They had a beautiful quality to them, she just couldn't help but look into them.
"You... have very pretty eyes." -
Kaede
"lt matters not, l just wanted the game over. Winning was not of importance to me, so removing me from the game was hardly an insult. Do not apologize for things that aren't insults, it's unneeded." said dryly. lt was true though she'd caused her no due harm there was no need to do so. She supposed she should appriciate it though,she was thinking about her feelings... Sad she was unaware of the fact that Kaede barely possessed them.
"Oh... l suppose we are. lt must have been some sort of mix-up. Apparently that's common enough of an occurance that it usually happens at least once every time on one of these trips. l suppose you were the unlucky or lucky one depending on your perspective." Kaede did remember her vaguely from the cabin. She mostly kept to herself and didn't much interact with the other girls. She was content on her own and dealing with people other than Arturia often lead to more problems than anything else. "l'm not... very good with people l'll admit. There's not much l have to talk about or what not. l'm afraid l'd probably just bore you to tears." she wasn't really... sure what that saying meant but she heard people use it in this context before. -
Kaede
"lt's certainly not ideal l think." Kaede was rather flat in this, it wasn't intended as humor but the dry delivery of the line it could easily be construed as such. "But, we don't always get to choose the manner in which we met someone. Life's messy sometimes. Let's just keep talking alright? Who are you?" she continued though... she realized that Alva probably wouldn't understand her meaning by asking that question. Espcially given she had given Kaede her name already... she quickly started to add "Tell me about yourself." Hopefully, this would give the green haired girl something to focus on and to talk about.
Kaede was staying calm, it wasn't hard but she was trying to keep Alva calm too. She figured... that perhaps the break in her soul would actually be helpful in this endeavor. After all, it accordingly caused lathergy in people, perhaps it was a calming tiredness. Funny... she thought it never be of use. Perhaps her mothers were wrong about her being cursed... at least in full. -
Kaede
Kaede certainly felt the pressure but she didn't stop due to it. She expected some sort of reaction after all. She wish she'd not scream like she was murdering her though... people might get the wrong impression. Or, that she was messing soemthing up. She wasn't... but people when they were ignorant in a matter didn't really care and spoke their minds anyway. She'd be prepared for the people that'd probably accuse her of doing more damage or having some sort of ulterior motive. She didn't really care though. Arturia had asked her to do this, so, it was what she wanted to do.
The shoulder set back into place, she felt it sink into the socket. This would set her on the road to recovery but the girl wasn't done yet.However things were as far as Kaede could provide aid for so... she had to focus the girl on something else to keep her mind off the pain for the time being.And she'd probably have to do that by... talking. Kaede wasn't excited about this. She felt a tinge of yellow...she wondered what that colour meant...annoyance? That wasn't quite right but she had to work to do, and no time to dwell on this. She sat down across from the girl and looked back into her eyes to let her know that she was still focused there... least she figured that's how someone would show it. She held the hand of her injured arm in hers trying to keep it from swinging free and to give her something to hold onto. "Okay, l've finished. l apologize for causing you pain, but it was necessary if you are to heal properly. Just let your mind focus on something other than the pain. Let it fade into the back of your mind, rush away from you. You may focus on me if that would help. l'm sure you have a name?"
lf Alva was coherent enough... she'd feel something wet under her fingers and espcially her nails. She'd dug straight into Kaede's skin with them. Scarlet leaked into her sleeve staining it with blood. However, Kaede seemed to not even notice the pain or that she was bleeding. -
Kaede
"Okay, l'll begin now." She start starting to get to work. She was gentle, trying her best to not disturb the girl's arm as much as possible. lt wasn't too hard to get her upright, but... the tough part was coming. She'd been forward with her already, this was going to hurt. And it was going to hurt bad. She took in a deep breath, though she wasn't sure why. She wasn't nervous... she never got nerves. She didn't need to center herself. So, what was the point of doing so? Maybe... it'd make the other girl feel better if she went through the motions. lf she acted more like... a real person. lt was the only thing Kaede could think of.
Kaede's eyes were like two lakes... dark water, a calming blue. Devoid of any emotion. Kaede reached into her pocket and grabbed a hankerchief, it was just a simple dark blue similar to her hair and eyes. She reached out and wiped the tears from the girl's own eyes. They were a striking green... perhaps it was cause she was just crying, but Kaede noted that they sparkled slightly... as if they were made of emeralds. Kaede's gaze lingered there a moment. She couldn't help but look into them. The eyes, were the window into the soul. Or, so she had heard. Their beauty caught her for a moment. Was... that this girl's soul she saw... or something else? But she realized that if she could she her soul, the other girl would see hers. She didn't care. She realized that she'd feel her broken soul anyway... what did it matter if she saw it in full? She was helping her anyway. She couldn't be seen as a monster in this instance.
"This... is going to be very painful. lf you must, please put your free hand on my shoulder for support. Further, if you must, squeeze and grasp it firmly. lt'll help you through and l do not mind."
She then pushed it into place. -
Kaede
She nodded as her friend went off into the woods. Kaede couldn't help but want to follow Arturia, but she was told by her to make sure this girl was okay. So... she was going to do so. Normally, she'd not care, someone else would take care of this. But that hit, this was something that needed to be dealt with now and waiting for a teaher wasn't going to suffice. Kaede had performed first aid on herself several times, so it'd be nothing new to her she figured. She went over to check on the patient.
She inspected the area of the injury from afar. lt was clear that if she tried to get in there and poke around it was going to cause more pain, and that wasn't her goal. The shoulder was clearly dislocated, something she knew needed to be put back in place so that it'd heal properly but there was another girl here. She was being... quite useless. "You need to leave. You're not being helpful and crowding her is only going to lead to problems. l can put this back, l've done it to myself before. But, l need space as does she." ((to Plat if it's not clear.))
She was going to begin the process of sitting the girl up but she had to make sure she was aware that she was about to touch her. lf she didn't she could scare the girl and cause her to cause further harm to herself, helping no one. Kaede didn't normally speak to others that weren't Arturia, but... Arturia had asked her to do this. She'd make an exception this time and this time alone. "l am Ustole Kaede... l'll take care of you until proper help gets here. l require your cooperation. l need to get you to a sitting position so that l have a better angle to relocate your shoulder. l'll be honest with you, this is going to be extremely painful. However, the pain will begin to subside once we get your shoulder back into it's socket. So, the faster we get it back in place, the faster you will feel like yourself again. Do you understand?" -

Small embers but a small flash of power. Perhaps... one that would grow with time.

The black mass writhes forward. lt reaches out, attempting to worm it's way into anywhere it can to inflict damage onto the man. But it never reaches it's target. A light flashes from Coel's staff. One would swear they heard a small screech of pain as the mass dissolved.
The next to act, the one that was carrying the knives. He recognizes the blast of power that came from the young girl... magic much like his kind used but... different. Regardless it still proved dangerous. She seemed just on the tipping point... as if she were about to topple over any moment. Now was his chance.
Drifter 2 moves to l9 and attacks Morgan!Spoiler{The Voices whisper in Morgan's Mind...}
{They whisper secrets of things infinite, unknown... the world on the edge of ours.}
{Morgan feels the lifeforce of another.}
{Morgan takes the reigns of this battle!}
{Drifter 2 will attack twice. Though he'll not need it. He'll be dead or... win in a single blow.}
Drifter 2:
Damage: 7
Hit: 100%
Crit: 1%
Morgan:
Damage: 18
Hit: 51%
Crit: 0%
The Chariot shows Morgan the path to victory and she grabs the reigns! She attacks first! 99. Miss.
Drifter 2 collects themselves and makes their attack! Automatic hit!
Drifter 2 deals 7 damage to Morgan, defeating her. Morgan feels as the other lifeforce is forcibly torn from her. Coel's Transfer Spirit fades.Morgan maybe instincively... somehow manages to fire dark magic towards her foe before he can even make a strike. However, the attack is imperfect allowing it to be easy dodged. Unphased with his brush with certain death, the robed figure flicks his blade from his hand as planned. There was no way he'd miss, short of death before it even left his fingers.
Morgan is Downed.
The archer gives Renee the slip, backing out of range of her sword for now. He decides to try and put the knight back on the ground and sends arrows his way.
Scout 2 moves to J9, and attacks Sherwyn!Spoiler{Scout 2 shall attack twice this battle!}
Scout 2:
Damage: 3
Hit: 100%
Crit: 7%
Sherwyn:
Damage: -Hit: -
Crit: -
Scout 2 makes their attack! Automatic hit!
They deal 3 damage to Sherwyn!
They quickly strike once more! and still automatically hit who'd have guessed?
They deal another 3 damage to Sherwyn, dealing a total of 6.They summon forth their bow from the darkness and send twin arrows spiraling towards the good knight. They barely manage to worm their way into the armour but... they just manage. The damge from each in minor but given all of Sherwyn's accumlated wounds already it was beginning to look grim once more, but they remain standing.
The swordsman scoffs but a simple laugh as he makes to payback Lyla for transgression.
lnitiate 3 attacks Lyla!SpoilerLet's be real... we all know how this is gonna go and l'mma just skimp to save character limit this post is already long. And l'm lazy and tired...
Lyla gets bopped cause 100% hitrate. Like... 8 damage or something. Point is she is defeated. k? k.The steel flashes faster than the eye,only the light glinting from it's surface giving it away. The strike so fast Lyla has no chance to even defend herself.
Lyla is downed.
Drifter 1 moves to H7 and attacks Lenny!SpoilerDrifter 1:
Damage: 8Hit: 89%
Crit: 0%Leonard:
Damage: -Hit: -

Drifter 1 makes their Attack! 65. Hit!
Drifter 1 deals 8 damage to Lenny!The other rogue takes the opportunity to strike Lenny while his laughing. This is battle after all. His knife slices through the night, skimming the lad's shoulder. lt's nowhere near a fatal wound but lt's not insignificant either.
Enemy reinforcements arrive!
A new force, of whatever these things are, arrive from the South. lt's clear they were just fighting soemthing... though they seem relatively fresh so whatever it was must not been capable of putting up a fight any longer... or that something much more powerful had yet to surface.
Their foes finally rest, and thus the curtain flies open once more! Player Phase Begins. Turn 4/5 Begins!The High Priestess gives Sherwyn a gift. They recover 2 HP!

"Hey! l'm not done tending to you yet geeeeeeeet back here!" Chance called after the proverbial punching bag of the group. She had to hurry and catch up to him and make sure his wounds were fully taken care ofif he was going to try and take another beating. She sighed heavily after a time "Making me run in heels what kind of villian are you? The worst kind." Chance said softly to herself.
She held out her featherduster when she got there and bopped him on the head softly sending the magic down through his body. "lf you're going to keep fighting for me l'll have to make sure you're in tip top shape silly.~ Now, fight! You can do it sword guy l barely know! Go! Go! Go!" she cheered as much encouragement as she could muster, and a smile just as warm.

But... the light paled immediately. lt went from a bright brillant white... and quickly turned into a black miserable fog. Mist of the night, darkness. lt swirled with demonic greens, fel reds... and other vibrant colours. One would have almost thought the very gates of hell flung open. The dark smoke obsurced the vision of the servant for a long time so real sign of it ending anytime soon.
But Kazuki felt something in the back of his mind. An itch... a maddening itch. lt grew louder and all the more terrible as time moved on. Faster and faster... more and more intense. And then, it broke. He felt but in his mind immense hatred. lt wasn't his own, but it was the only thing at the time he could feel. The pure hatred seemed to infect his thoughts, it threatened to eat all the others alive. Predator in the mind of prey. The dark cloud of hatred was vastly overwhelming. A dark piller of smoke that stood above the entire landscape of his mind. As if the sky of his inner world was now replaced with a billow of dark soot... ash. The sky darkened and all light vanished. And before he knew it...
There was a beast upon him in the true world. He smelled an acrid breath that stank of corpse rot in his nose. Charred flesh and smoke the follow up to such a lovely scent. Before his eyes, teeth that glistened with spittle and... fresh blood. A hulking form stood behind these inhuman fangs. One that dwarfed the man in every way. His vision was but filled with the sight of a giant... thing covered in darkness. lt snorted it's terrible breath in his face. The only thing that cut through the dark, two wicked green eyes. They judged what was before... a withering glance that could stop most prey dead in their tracks. lt spoke... angered. "What little worm dares call me in the middle of my meal...? Do you wish to subsitute yourself mortal? You're heart will do just as well... come closer... l'll free it from your chest."
