???? Grail [Action EVERYWHERE]

[dressofheaven]

[It starts with an unfamiliar woman walking up to the Breeding Centre in Goldenrod. She looks around for a bit, as if checking the place out, then puts her hands on her hips.]

Well, I think I just figured out what's going on.

[A few moments later, she's gone. Where? Well, it's fourth wall weekend. She could be anywhere.

Including right behind you, leaning over your shoulder and grinning.]

Hi!

[OOC: Route Future!Ilya is a go! Responses will come from feelmyheaven. Everyone is welcome! Meet her at the Centre, wherever your character is, trapped in a cave somewhere, doesn't matter.]

[feelmyheaven]

Oh very much so. The more so as he was summoned under me as a Berserker.

[Though, really, he would have been far more dangerous if he could have actually fought tactically rather than just mindlessly wrecking everything.]

Your friend mentioned Orthrus... he also fought and defeated Cerberus, if you're familiar with that one, though he didn't kill him.

[beholdmydemons]

The three-headed hound. [Flynn had stopped that one from running wild in Shinjuku, though Walter didn't know much of either of the dogs' histories. Those demons that had formed allegiances with the Samurai were the ones able to tell their stories in full; the rest, they had learned how to fight, but large pieces of the picture were often missing.

...Also, fuck if he knows what or where Greece is.]

So what purpose does one go around summoning beings like that for? If you've never seen a demon...

FOR GLORY TO NAME? [Gucumatz chimes in.]

[feelmyheaven]

That's the one. [Though she doesn't know how in the world he could possibly know of Cerberus without knowing of Greece and Hercules...]

Oh no, well not in my case at least. There was a War going on... a War of Magi, not armies.

[beholdmydemons]

Magi. [He glances at Gucumatz again, but the demon doesn't have any further insight - in fact, he doesn't look very interested anymore, returning to picking odd scraps of metal out of the dumpster.

War makes sense, though, whoever's fighting it.]

That makes you...a warrior? [In some sense, at least.]

[feelmyheaven]

Not... really. I was actually pretty helpless myself. I was a summoner almost solely.

[beholdmydemons]

So why would a spirit serve you? [Gucumatz is still content to do his thing off to the side, but he does contribute a matter-of-fact rumble of "ALL DEMON LIKE PRETTY HUMAN."]
