The mask of the Queen of Pentacles

[Liz has recently regained her coin purse and has decided that perhaps now is the time to make use of it]

Phone:  Drone Filter

"Many of you have mentioned a listless dislike of this place...  Existing in a state of readiness yet with nothing to do.  The town however has returned to me one of my articles of office, and now I offer something to you all...  I have tasks...  Endeavors..  Quests...  Whatever you call them, were it that you feel the need to expand your horizons, I have them...  As well as suitable reward.  Please, feel free to call and we may band together to face the darkness of inaction."

Action 1:  Around town

[You may notice Elizabeth shopping today, clothes, various odds and ends and food, dear goodness is she buying a lot of food, all the money is coming from a bulging coin purse that seems to have far more nickles in it than there should be space.]

Action 2:  The tavern

[Liz has asked (see bribed) a drone to drop off a box at the bar with a bright red bow to a Mr. Chulainn having inside it one pair of cowboy boots and one white cape, she then sits down in a booth near the door to watch]

And what's in it for me?

[ More like: "What do I get if I have Lancer do all of this work for me?" ]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"I now have at my fingertips a nearly inexhaustible supply of both gems and metal coins... As well as the feeling that you have fought back the forces that sap at our souls."

[gandere]

[ Gems.

Gems.

Mother fucking geeeeems. ]

Alright! What am I doing?

"Hrm... How difficult of an ordeal do you wish for... I have one... That I sense your soul would be in perfect tune with... For a handful of diamonds... But it is very difficult."

1/2

[gandere]

Nothing is too difficult for Lancer!

[gandere]

I mean me!

Nothing's too difficult for me!

"Lancer.... That name is not one I am familiar with... But this is a quest that I feel you are the best suited for. It is not a combat one... I do not believe... It is to strengthen a soul, and may be difficult."

[gandere]

Wha-? So I can't have a quest someone else can do for me? That's kind of lame, you know.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"These quests are to strengthen your soul as well as the other's... But, I know the spirits only whisper ones that are well within a person's ability. This quest is of importance and... I would be willing to gift 10 diamonds upon its completion."

[gandere]

Fine, fine. I'll do this stupid quest. Not because it'll strengthen my soul or whatever. I've just got nothing else to do and figure this will be an interesting way to waste time.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"All right."

"In the tavern, there is a soul who has been so trodden upon they have forgotten that they are also a noble ideal. Find the blue haired spirit expert and spend three days restoring his soul's dignity."

[gandere]

... Restoring his soul's dignity? What the heck do you mean by that?

[ Well, if Lancer's involved, those diamonds are her's for sure. ]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Some outside force has made a knight stand with the dignity of a dog... Such damage must be healed, then the knight can stand as a beacon for others."

[gandere]

[ Would that outside force's name happen to be Rin Tohsaka? ]

.. a beacon for others? Ugh, do you even know who you're talking about?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"I speak of the lancer in blue... As for the illness of the soul plaguing him I know not. We rarely speak, but that is the quest and the reward. Do you believe yourself to be up to this?"

[gandere]

Yeah, yeah. It'll be easy. I'll just load the guy up with booze and he'll be singing ballads in the street in a language he doesn't even know.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Then you are taking the quest? Excellent."

[gandere]

Of course. I'll call you in three days.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"I will of course have the gemstones ready."

[gandere]

So go over the specifics so I'm sure we have everything covered.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Some force has beaten the spirit of the knight down... Now he acts as a dog... Do as you will to restore his noble standing, but do not tell him why, or do so from the shadows."

[gandere]

So make him act less of a Servant and more of a knight. I guess I can do that. [ That latter part is frustrating.

Rules out a Command Spell for sure. ]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Indeed. Discretion is the most important thing, for pride is a fickle beast."

[gandere]

I get it, I get it. I most certainly get it. I'll take care of him.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Wonderful. I hope to hear of your success soon then."
