call me out v. 14.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

Old CR, new CR, assumed CR, canonmates, AU, crossover, whatever, it's all good.

[gemuinemanagement]

I know, but... You're kind of like a guest, aren't you? So it feels rude not to offer.

[duranduel]

I'm just your Servant. You don't need to do too much for me. But...well, I did say to "treat me well", huh...

[gemuinemanagement]

You did, so I will. This way.

[The kitchen is pretty small, and the burn mark over the stove suggests that Suga wasn't kidding about not being able to cook. But there are some sandwiches in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap, and Suga pulls two of them out.]

[duranduel]

[Oh, that sure is a burn mark. But he nods at the sandwiches in thanks - what a thoughtful Master.]

T-Thank you. If you need someone to cook, though, I know a bit. I don't mind.

[gemuinemanagement]

Wouldn't it be a little demeaning to make a legendary spirit cook?

[duranduel]

I-I'm not that legendary, and I'm here to help you out, so...really, I don't mind. You're not makin' me do anything.

[gemuinemanagement]

Okay. If you're sure.

[They should probably have enough ingredients for... something? At the very least they have plenty of fruits, vegetables, and other things that even Suga can't screw up preparing.]

[duranduel]

[He nods at that, before awkwardly raising his sandwich.]

Thanks for this.

[And he takes a bite, feeling awkward all the while.]

It's good. Um. So...tell me about this spirit of yours.

[gemuinemanagement]

She's called the Kotori Obake. She targets children, killing them and trapping their souls in the forest where she stays. She likes promises - a promise to her can only be broken if you lose all memory of it. Otherwise she can pull you into her clutches whenever she wants.

[duranduel]

What a nasty spirit.

And nobody's been able to do a thing about it?

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm the only mage in this village.

[And he's not a very good one...]

[duranduel]

Oh.

[That will...be a problem.]

So wait, you're not fightin' a Grail War? Just takin' care of this spirit?

[gemuinemanagement]

We're way too remote for anyone to bother coming out here to fight even if we had a Grail.

[duranduel]

I see.

[A bit unusual, but hey, here's here as a Servant.]

Anyways, I can't say I'm...that good against spirits. But I'll try my best.

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm very grateful for your efforts, Mandricardo.

[...that name is kind of long to fingerspell, isn't it.]

[duranduel]

A-Ah...

[He's blushing, now.]

Like I said...no big deal...really...

[gemuinemanagement]

[And now Suga's blushing because Mandri's blushing.]

It's a big deal to me. Is there anything I can do to repay you?

[duranduel]

I-I-I haven't done anythin' yet!

[gemuinemanagement]

Right. Well, we can find her whenever you want.

[duranduel]

Okay...I just need some more info on her as far as what has and hasn't worked in the past and stuff like that, but...we can give it a try whenever.

[gemuinemanagement]

I make protective charms out that are designed to ward away evil spirits, and she definitely doesn't like them, but it hasn't really hurt her.

[duranduel]

Charms...well, I'm not well-versed in that department.

Nobody's tried to help you with this?

[gemuinemanagement]

I can give you some I've made if that would help.

Like I said, I'm the only mage here, and we're too out of the way for anyone else to really bother coming out here?

[duranduel]

That might help. But you're really in a tough position. Goodness. That must be a big burden on ya, Master.

Glad I can help.

[gemuinemanagement]

It's been... difficult.

[And thankless work.]

You can just call me Suga if you want. No need to stand on ceremony.
