I just got through on my 8th try :D getting the Master to a safe place was the trickiest thing ever lol but finally I managed to. Also I did as you said and it's kinda funny Lancelot actually carried? He didn't even get his first health bar broken gnfhgfnh (then again I put him on the auto healing spot). I'm still trying to figure out the AI tbh since it likes fights but also sometimes it goes for the Master first.
RIP I don't want to think of myself in a Grail War XD 

I got through it too :D though I am very unpleased b y the fact Super Orion one-shotted Kagetora and Himiko did the same with Artoria lol. Now I can rest a bit before the next event Ig? I think it start tomorrow iirc :') hope I'll have enough time to play it, Echo says he enjoyed the story last year

Yeah I usually read if I can, I only don't when I'm speedrunning an event. Which shouldn't be the case this time (hopefully). I've got my eye on the costumes lol.

I was going to say something else but it's completely slipped my mind rn. So would you want another conversation topic or maybe just ther?

I don't want to either I'm aiming for that costume $w$

Oh I meant like, maybe just that, so like no new conversation topic lol

Well maybe I don't want to let it die :')

Oh well since the convo's dead have a Xenia/Paymon theme song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGs-2Ge09Ls

I love allusions (:

-Galaxian-

(:
No iirc it's one of those songs without lyrics xD usually I provide translations for Chinese songs. (At least I'd like to think, but I don't remember lol.)

-Galaxian-

Chiyoko and Nagesh are a bit more rational on it but Galaxian and Manai are fully invested unfortunately[?]
Honestly I feel like they can share a brain cell with a fingersnap and it's hilarious

Also nah, I mean I usually have ideas but I thought we were toning down the number of active threads or something so I'm not really intent on starting one unless you are xD

-Galaxian-

Are we sure it'll be a chance the newcomers to get to know them, or vice versa?

Ah, so all we need to get you back here is a lil murder? (:?
Honestly the thread is probably not gonna end for a while and idk how my activity will look in a month or two. If you want a new thread then it's probably gonna be some other character pair/group, just let me know what you'd like. (Casual reminder that POVing with literally anyone else will probably be more entertaining/fulfilling tho. xD)

-Galaxian-

Who knows, we'll just have to see how it plays out lol. I just love the Alternate so much xD they're like, passively chaotic without meaning to.

A little muder or murder of a little? I'll have you know my character was a 10 year old child. Then someone decided him to autopsy/unbox him alive. And of course he died.
And it's not really the muder yeeting me back here but the timing, so it matches up perfectly with what I wanted. Not gonna pass up that chance haha.

I don't know why the idea of the thread continuing makes me happy xD Laurie is fun but I wish she'd talk more just for roleplaying purposes. It's okay though, and I'm sorry I can't do longer posts there that aren't about Laurie's thoughts.
Idk lol who would you want to roleplay? The first character relations in my mind are always connected to Dion but I don't know if you want that or have any ideas. Or maybe someone else idk lol
(this reminds me we never figured out the thing with Hitan and Germaine. Up for a chat anytime soon?)

Tbh some questionable choices were made by them XD 
I just always wondered if the LB3 people had names or how did they refer to each other.
I'll try to remind you. I can't wait for them to get to LB2 because I want to see their reaction to Sigurd's attack and you know what (:

That's the point, they're the chaotic Good group (though not necessarily Chaotic Good xD)

A lil murder ):
It's okay, it seems common for character pairs/groups to have someone who doesn't talk as much. Honestly at this point I've discerned that as long as it's not Kiaane/Sunny we should be fine. Looking at past threads, threads died not because POVing got particularly bad (at least most of the time, and again excluding those two xD), but because people seemed to get tired or forgot or something. 
Anyhow, just to clarify, you'd wanna continue the Alternate thread at least to the point of them making a gingerbread house? And in the process maybe they go to a candy store (since gingerbread houses have candy accessories)?
See I don't really know who I'd wanna roleplay :-P funnily enough Dion and Rai usually come up in my mind as well but I currently dunno what they'd be doing. Maybe Rai could bring him to an arcade or just play some video games idk. Plot-wise there's a segment where Dion might be with Raez or Hitan but I haven't discerned that to be particularly important for you lol. Otherwise my mind is blanking. 

Speaking of character relations though, I wanna say that I'm enjoying Sunny and Caster's interactions so far, like they're not really a pair who gets along immediately and honestly they're really awkward on the surface, but thematically they fit together pretty well? I can't say for sure 'cause I dunno Caster's backstory but I love analyzing the details and hope I'm not wrong on this assessment :D and for Assassin/Ambryll idk how they'll pair up thematically but I hope they'll get along as well (just to put this out there ahead of time)

And related to Caster, here's a headcanon that he'd actually love eating salad but really really doesn't want to, so instead he opts for doing things like dipping those dipping sticks into ranch and Sunny is like subconsciously aware of how cursed it is but isn't judging on the exterior xD

Also wanted to ask you this question in more earnest: How would you describe how Kiaane perceives Martin? Basically what do you think their relationship would be seen from their point of view? I am genuinely curious because I know I have a habit of dropping random cues (and I think by now you know that Kiaane is really awkward on the exterior but has a bit more going on inside) but idk how it seems to you and would love to know. 
Btw don't worry on length or anything like that for your response, just what you think is sufficient is most likely sufficient for me.

I forget if I've done Laurie's alignment test before so I ran one rn. She's Neutral Good :D though definitely leaning towards Lawful Good way more than most of my characters haha.

Please threads with Kiaane are so awkward but I love them so much xD I think if one day I got the chance to interact with them with one of my friendlier characters, it'd be an interesting interaction. Maybe. Also GGaD!Sunny is a rip (though I could say the same with Lux? On a different scale though.)

Yeah, I'd love to! I've never made a gingerbread house before or even worked with gingerbread at all, so I guess this means investigation :D. Also I'd be delighted to have Laurie go to a candy store if it means I can canonize my headcanon of her eating bubblegum.

Yeah I get that xD slightly unfortunately I think Dion can also make threads awkward sometimes? Or is that just my perception?
Dion likes videogames, but watch Rai absolutely obliterate him in PvP mode lol. And on the second part, I'd love to curse Dion with more character interactions :DDD though once again I fear it'd get kinda awkward xD

I've been enjoying it as well! Sometimes it's a bit hard for me to get in-character with Caster (mostly with trying to resist the impulse of overexplaining something just because, since he's not that much of a talker usually and he's barely met up with Sunny anyways) but I like to think I'm doing pretty well. There's always the worry that I'm making my characters too similar to each other but at the same times I hope that's just my own perception and not what's actually happening...?
I'll say, Sunny being so polite was a really good way to start off their relationship. Mostly because Caster is a little suspicious of others as you can see (I hope you can see. He's supposed to be an observant character). Because of his nature he also cares a lot about truth and lies, mostly in the way of how thoughts manifest into actions. Anyways, that's just me thinking through text. I do hope his characerization is visible through the way I roleplay him and it doesn't stay just in a description a I do. I also hope you enjoy his backstory when you learn more about it :D one or two friends helped me with a slight inconsistency in it but it's revised and perfected now, so I just hope you like it xD. I guess sometimes in characterization I forget a little that Caster isn't human himself, and therefore chooses to view himself in society as an outsider. More on that in the roleplay (unless you're curious and ask questions, in which case I'd be more than delighted to answer.)

Tbh I think it'd be kind of hard to not get along with Assassin. She's really extroverted, and you'll see more of her in the roleplay too xD but a heads up that just like most of my other characters in this AU she's also different from whatever you may have seen of her in canon (ignoring the fact that she's, ahem, canonically dead). I'm super curious about Ambryll too owo.

That's a really good headcanon! It matches up with things I've thought for Caster, so it could very well be canon lol. He wouldn't mind eating fruits but I do think he'd be very hesitant to eat vegetables. If you gave him vegetable soup he'd drink the soup and leave everything else to the side (just like a little kid lol except his motives are different. Not that it would be easy to tell xD).
Also, from a conversation we had a while ago about s'mores I decided that Caster really likes sugary things (again, just like a little kid lol) and I headcanoned that one day while they're around in the town he asks Sunny to get a bag of sugar and proceeds to happily eat it with a spoon like a snack for the rest of the day. It wouldn't affect him though lol.

Y'know the funny thing is I somehow thought we reached a consensus? I love false memories xD also yeah I should be good to chat (I think my school unblocked Google Chat...I hope) (edit: They did :D), just lemme know if I'm responding on here and stuff.

No, for some reason we started talking about Run and then about AgK! and how I was watching it with my friends (we've yet to watch the last 3 episodes and I can't wait to see their reactions ) and we went off topic for quite a while XD.
Sadly I now have Google Chat blocked on my computer xD does Chatzy still work for ya? I should be available for a chat any day as long as it's after tomorrow (I have my last test tomorrow so I have to brush up on my algebra :'D)

Sherlock getting hit by Sigurd I mean

Spoilering just in case anyone someone curious and clicks onto the thread

Awww cute, I love that pic in particular 'cause I can imagine Saber's doing a toast back
Now I gotta go look up their height difference so I can visualize accurately xD
Edit: Assuming Aisline isn't taller this is a pretty big height difference xD I'll just assume that in the pic she's looking at Saber's cup too xD

Exactly the kind of image that would be perfect for a pfp match lol. One day when I know Saber's appearance description better I'll to try draw something similar o. Their relationship (in theory, for now) is so pure to me xD just them bonding over coffee. At some point I definitely want to get them to go to a café.
Iirc Aisline is like 1,60 m, maybe a little less, but I can't remember exactly as I don't have my info doc at hand rn. How tall is Saber?

[Caster and Sunny]
I think I also get the impulse to overexplain, though for me it's more generalized (for most of my characters). If it helps, I do think the fun when it comes to these two is reading in the margins, and I really enjoy doing so (even if I can be inaccurate or downright wrong). I do worry about conveying Sunny incorrectly (in terms of "degree of awkwardness" per se) as well as boring you/Caster, but as usual just let me know if it's getting too bad.
I'm glad that the start was good! He kinda pulled me in that direction, and even though it's really unnatural for me to make him talk like the way he was (and is, to an extent), I'm happy since it shows that he's okay at reading the situation, which was what I was aiming for. So thank you for letting me know. I also do think that I've been getting what you've been trying to express with Caster's character; I just hope I'm doing an okay job on my end for Sunny as well. And I also hope you'll enjoy Sunny's backstory :D. Personally I'm very much looking forward to these reveals, even if I'll overdramatize them on my end and probably make them more than a little cringe. xD 
It's not that I'm not curious btw and not asking questions, I just think for these two it's really a matter of showing over telling, so I'm excited to see it revealed through roleplay. Plus it gives you more time to work out details if you need (I personally need the time so,,, xD). I do wanna convey that I love everything you're mentioning tho. I do a lot of thinking on F/DA and hearing from you makes it a lot more worth it, kinda like validation if you will.

And I'm glad that the HC is good in your view. I do take some pride in my headcanoning abilities, even if sometimes my mind goes the cursed route. :-P
I do have to wonder what the difference is between fruits and vegetables tho xDD every time they have a meal Sunny has to watch Caster bury fruit skins/vegetable remains with just the most somber expression
Tbh between him not eating his vegetables and eating pure sugar I can see Sunny having a stroke 
Lol Sunny eventually just buys him a big ol sugarcane to gnaw on so he at least is eating less sugar rate-wise (like grams consumed per minute) xDD did I mention my mind goes the cursed route lol
Edit: please my mind is imagining that Caster can nom through sugarcanes even faster than he can scoop sugar into his mouth and it is cursed (: but also so funny xDDD

[Assassin]
I got that vibe from her for some reason, but I wasn't sure how extroverted she'd be in actuality or how that extroversion would translate to attachment. Like y'know how some extroverts act eager to interact with you but they spread their efforts out so much that the actual relationship is rather shallow? I hope this won't be offensive to you as an extrovert btw, just an observation that I was translating to roleplay. As with all the characters, I'm looking forward to seeing the differences between her AU persona and canon persona, even if I never actually had any of my characters interact with her in-canon ('cause, y'know, she's canonically dead there too ): ). 
Edit: Btw I love how Assassin is one of the more extroverted characters xD I love irony

-Galaxian-

[Chat]
Run precedes over every single chat topic that exists and will exist.
I'm returning this school computer in 2 days (make it more 1 day and a lil more since I need to return it in the morning) but Chatzy should work when I can use my mom's computer xD. In terms of availability, I'm probably gonna be out for a good portion of the day after tomorrow, but I should be free some day(s) after that, I just dunno when. 

[F/GO]
No I'm sorry, that was a joke xD. 

Oh, for some reason I thought the thing you mentioned before was the same as that xD.
Shersplat.

[Saber and Aisline]
That's a great idea for me to forget :D
Believe me, I'd like to know what they look like too. So far I just have "cute." And some clothing descriptions. And their weapon. 
Tbh their relationship is cute but I still can't help but be at least a lil flabbergasted when I consider the context of the Grail War :D like yes it is funny but is it practical xD
Oh, she's taller than in GGaD. Saber's a bit shorter but I have to decide how much. Definitely taller than 5' 6'' tho.
