[Hereafter] Interlude R(F) II: Simulator Scramble
Added 2024-09-21 14:29:11 +0000 UTCLet's check in on Rika, shall we?
In the end, I didn't wind up focusing anywhere near as much on Rika's mental state as I meant to when I started this, but the events of the past few months of in-story time have left very obvious marks on her that should be quite clear to everyone.
Also, Taylor is still Da Boss, and for good reason. The twins might have improved and they might be coming into their own, but they've still got a ways to go before they can match her experience.
EDIT: Moving down all the way. 11/2/24

Lol, you just know that EMIYA got to the Grail and immediately realized it, only for excessive explosions stopping anyone slower from Atlanta/Achilles escaping.

2024-09-22 06:30:49 +0000 UTCYep. The twins are much better than they were, but Taylor's experience was paid for in blood, sweat, tears, and lives. They still have a ways to go before they're at her level, and to be honest, Taylor probably doesn't want them to be like her, not with the price she had to pay.

2024-09-22 06:29:59 +0000 UTCWas that line about "Walking In To Hell" an UBW reference, from where Emiya and Shirou are fighting in the UBW? Keep in mind, this is Taylor still treating them with relative kid gloves. Ooof, methinks Sieggy is going to be nursing a bit of a grudge over that move by Jalter. Tsk tsk, no seducing others when Cinnabon is watching! I do think it's interesting that we don't actually HAVE any proof yet that Taylor actually had the Servant level abilities she mentioned. All we know is that she SAID she did. And Arash sneaks in a noscope shot! Shit, I'd hate to play him in CoD. :D
