Fourth: Myths and Legends, backdated to Valentine's Evening (Video; un: Caster)

[colchismagecraft]

[There were advantages and disadvantages to using the money she'd gotten from carrying out Morgana's suspicious request in order to find a larger place to stay. On one hand, she had more space to keep her things and it didn't feel so cramped - she might even have room for a potion-brewing workshop at some point. On the other hand, yes, she had more space to herself, but it was Valentine's Day.

And she was here by herself, without the one person she wanted to spend it with.

After spending a week or so chasing around a man from her world who was responsible for her demise.

Desperate for something to take her mind off all of it, she took to the network to try and find a distraction.

Caster can be seen sitting in a darkened room, face and body mostly hidden by the shadows of her cloak. You know, because that totally didn't look ominous.]

For those who haven't met me yet- I am known as Caster. A pleasure.

As the people who've been brought here are from many different worlds, I can't help but be a little curious. Tell me, what myths and legends are the most well known, where you're from? What about those you personally find the most interesting?

I'd say that the Greek Myths are my personal area of interest, but... picking a favourite would be difficult.

[A hint to who she was, perhaps, but it wasn't as if she'd actually told many people she was a heroic spirit from myth - so it should be a safe comment.]

Either way, feel free to share. I'm curious to know who's myths overlap with the ones I know, as well as learn a little about other people's worlds.

[There was a short pause, before a dark smirk comes into her face. She may have been just a little bitter about the whole cupid arrow nonsense.]

...Ah, and Archer? If you're watching this, I will make you regret humiliating me with those arrows of yours-!

[ Soundwave... definitely not a name she recognized. Marie, though, could really only be one person. But even so, it was someone she'd definitely know was around, if she was. Marie always had a way of making her presence felt, in the time Gareth had known her. ]

She gave a small shrug, a shake of her head.

It's all beyond my understanding, too. Magecraft and the like was all my big weakness, as a knight. It's why Merlin had to design my lance, to be able to use mana at all.

[colchismagecraft]

Your lance was designed by Merlin...? I don't suppose it came here with you, did it?

[Academically speaking, even without it's power, she was very curious to examine the result of another Caster Class Servant's item creation- Well, she was assuming he was a Caster Class, it was hard to think of another that would fit.]

Even as a skilled Magus myself, it is a little difficult to fathom how so much mana could be drawn from one person...if that person is your Master as well, they must be very skilled.

i swear i need, like, to be pinched each time i forget to format something

[beaumains]

Trust me, Merlin was not my master. [ A huff, an annoyed look, though one obviously more directed at Merlin, even if he wasn't there. ]

He was advisor to my King, and he provided me with this lance to better suit my abilities, and compensate for my lack of ability to make use of my own mana.

what is formatting anyway

[colchismagecraft]

...My apologies for assuming. But my point stands, your Master must have had an impressive level of mana to manage such a feat.

[Merlin seemed an obvious candidate, after all.]

Well, I'd be curious to see the lance itself, if it were brought to this world with you.

[beaumains]

Oh, one second!

[ Gareth bounced up, running to grab the object in question, bringing it into view ]

So... okay it works with these mana charges, and you load them into the chamber right here, and it basically uses the mana stored inside of them to make the lance harder or imbue it with other magical properties!

[colchismagecraft]

[That thing was huge- how did she even manage a weapon like that- one-handed no less??]

That...is impressive.

[For now though she's leaning in to the screen to take a closer look.]

...Certainly, the craftsmanship is skilled.

[beaumains]

Merlin may be a terror of a man, but this lance has helped me fight off some terrors of my own! It's the finest weapon a knight like me could ask for!

[ She examines the lance for a moment, spinning the chamber and unloading one of the shells from its place, the azure glow casting onto her face as she brings it closer to her. ]

Though, I should probably see if these shells can be re-charged here...

[colchismagecraft]

What was Merlin like? I somewhat regret that I could never see who was the greater Caster of the two of us.

But regardless, your skill must be impressive as well, to wield something like that effectively.

[She watched Gareth examine the lance a moment, before the question came up-]

Ah- I believe I saw the Elphame Traders advertising magical weapon enhancements. You might be best placed speaking with them.

[beaumains]

[ Elphame Traders... She'd keep that name in mind, giving a nod. As for Merlin... ]

He's... a terror of a man, really. Someone frustrating, and frightening as well. Someone beyond human, but in a terrifying way.

[colchismagecraft]

Beyond human, hm... Interesting. Well, I'll have to be careful of the one here, then. I can't imagine the two are too different from one another.

[She says, not realising Medea Lily is a thing that exists in Chaldea.]
