Stage 2

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu considers himself lucky. He could have gotten one of the higher phases, but luckily, he's only starting with a Phase 2. Kiritsugu fully intends to seclude himself from human interaction as much as possible before the condition progresses, but on the other hand, this incident has provided a wonderful opportunity.]

[It seems a trade-off is in order. Kiritsugu does not feel comfortable talking to anyone in his current state, but this is too convenient to pass up.]

Among all of us trapped here, who do you consider to be dangerous?

Comments

[gezellighe.livejournal.com]

The people who put us here, obviously.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

[A nod]

However, it's in their best interest to keep us alive. For now, I'm more worried about the other inhabitants.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Are you looking for most dangerous or just a general heads up?

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

Anyone with the power and motive to hurt people.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I know a few, but it depends on the situation...

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

Could you elaborate?

[phone]

[gandere]

Dangerous in terms of power? Geez, there's a lot of people I could list.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

All Servants included, I assume. I've been keeping an eye out for them, but I haven't found that many.

[gandere]

Hm, well there is Gilgamesh who I would label the most dangerous. He looks fine as a kid, but he's got an ego. He lives with another Servant, a Lancer from a previous war. Then there's my Archer, well he's no longer my Archer, but I still call him that so that people know who I'm talking about. He lives with me though, so he's easy to locate. Ah, Saber is here too. Then there's an Assassin floating around, but I haven't found out much information about him. He wouldn't even tell me his Noble Phantasm hmph. What a waste of time.

Then there's my Lancer. He's usually at the tavern and oh, there are two different Riders. My sister's Rider, she's pretty beautiful, and then another who's boasting about being a conqueror. Those are the ones that are around I believe, although there have been previous versions around.

As for anyone else who is dangerous... they don't compare to Servants, but there's one girl here. Shiki Ryougi, yes, that most certainly is her name. She was able to stand up to Archer, but I'm sure he beat her.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

[That actually surprises him. He didn't expect for there to be so many here. He's not too thrilled about meeting up with Saber, or his war's Archer, Lancer and Rider. Still, it's good to know about them beforehand. He makes a note of everyone mentioned, deciding to take the appropriate measures.]

Thank you. You've been very helpful.

[Enough to leave him without questions, even. He decides to change to a more amiable subject.]

You're Shirou's friend, aren't you?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Ciel, Gilgamesh, Rin Tohsaka Sanguinius..... damn!

That was an unworthy deed.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

[While Kiri wonders about the last comment, he's a lot more worried about the names on that list.]

Could you explain why you chose them?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Because I have fought them or fought with them in the past, of.... Will you stop that!

Taking advantage of whatever little game this town is playing with us is hardly honorable.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

[Kiritsugu could justify himself by mentioning his intentions, or speaking out against honor, like he's done before.]

[He doesn't. Every second that passes is another one that can be used to hang up, or start asking him questions.]

[If Garviel has fought with or against Servants and magi, he must certainly be above the average person's fighting capabilities. Kiritsugu decides to focus on that.]

Thank you. May I ask for your name and abilities?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

No one! No one could beat me either way.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

Sounds confident.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Because it's true. I wouldn't lie.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

There's a high chance you can't.

[Of course, if a person truly believes himself to be above everyone, it makes little difference to this incident whether he can't or not.]

May I ask your name?

[Phone; Stage 3]

[mapo-trollfu.livejournal.com]

[To say he didn't want to reply was understatement. To say he was compelled to was obvious. There's actually audible strain in his voice when Kirei starts talking, fading away quickly as he accepts the situation.]

A man known once as the "Magus Killer" -- even the nickname is foreboding, is it not?

[And, getting straight to the point without even a hint of hostility he goes.]

What do you remember, Kiritsugu Emiya? From when do you hail?

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

Kotomine.

[Kiritsugu's tone is filled with wariness. He knows he's threading a thin line by talking to his archenemy at a time like this.]

I remember killing you two months ago. How do you still live?

[mapo-trollfu.livejournal.com]

[Kirei's tone is almost conversational, if guarded.]

In truth, I did die. For my current state, the blame you wish to place would go to a combination of that which lurks within the grail, and my servant.

The last I had seen of you, it was as though you were a member of the walking dead. I take it your wits have returned to you.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

I found a reason to continue.

What are you planning?

[ phone ]

[imoutos]

That's.. a while ago I talked to someone on the phone who seemed a little dangerous.. She said she was a vampire who ate people.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

...

[Kiritsugu allows himself a moment to inspect the surrounding rooms and hallways. Can never be too safe.]

Kiss-Shot.

[Having not been asked a question, he says that on his own free will. If Kiri can warn someone about something dangerous, he's going for it.]

I agree.

[imoutos]

That's her name-- Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, right?

[ She pauses for a moment, almost nervously. ]

She really scares me a lot.. I wouldn't know what to do if she'd ever go after me..
