VENUS. (autoplay)

✧ “’Not worth it’, huh?” Mona seemed fairly smug for a moment. “I guess I hit the nail on the head then.” Even without her astrology, she was pretty keen at reading people. The bad luck had already happened, and now she was jaded? “Well, it’s not like I can’t relate. I don’t really have time for it myself, and I’m not the kind of woman that girls fall for.” Unless they wanted to be with someone who cared too much about her work and was always starving herself half to death?

“A goddess? So you must be like an adepti, huh…? Well, that’s fine.” It wasn’t like she wasn’t impressed, it just wasn’t all that surprising. “Do you drink coffee? Tea? Hot chocolate? There’s a cafe down the street, wanna come?”

             I   can imagine why, she nearly retorts, but thankfully the girl continues on without missing a beat. Ishtar has no idea what an adepti is, but she’s well aware that deities have all sorts of different names... So long as they understand the gravity of who they’re speaking to, that’s good enough. 

             Well... That, and the offer of gifts in the form of cafe drinks. That’s what she’ll call it, at least.

✧ “You were the one complaining about the weather, don’t try to turn this around on me. I’m perfectly warm as is.” This was a half-truth. She was a little cold, but she’d survived in worse conditions. “It gets cold in the winter, you’ll have to find something that will do, yeah? Honestly, girls like you who are a little pretty get so uppity about things like this. You’ll have bad luck in dating, you know?”

✧ “Aren’t you being a little presumptuous? There’s no way this world works like the ones we came from in the first place. If you’re cold, you could stop dressing like that maybe. They make jackets.” Pot calls kettle what?

“That a small chill would have you throw such a fit…how embarrassing.” For obvious reasons, Ereshkigal has to chime in, it wouldn’t be right if she didn’t. There’s also that casual sisterly banter that’s much needed.

“Though I suppose it is to be expected from such a spoiled Goddess.”

           ❛   Who’s throwing a fit ? Not me !  I’m just pointing it out, no more or less !   ❜   SHE   won’t admit it, but of all people to respond, Ereshkigal was preferred. It saves Ishtar the trouble of making sure she was still around herself.

           ❛   …   ❜

Medb scoffed, a sneer already forming on her lips as she glared down at the other Servant. Their temperaments were similar, so perhaps a meeting like this was inevitable– that is, the two of them standing atop a building in Fibonacci, where a map lay in wait.

“If you can’t fly, then why should I help you?”

“These wings are mine, and I’ll be using them to search for as much treasure as I want. I don’t have to do anything for you.”

            ❛   You do know who you’re talking to, don’t you ?   ❜   

                HER   hands are balled into tight fists as they rest on her hips, leveling the Rider with her stare— a move she feels must be effective despite only having a couple of inches on her fellow Servant. Petite they both may be, but their voices projected as if they were seven feet tall. Ishtar’s whine in particular. 

      ♪ ❝ Isn’t the holiday more so about becoming something frightening…? Like a ghost… Or a Gigantender. ❞

        ❛   Humans never do waste time forming groups for survival, do you ? A good quality to have, I guess. What happens when we’re booted back to the main island, though ?  Doesn’t it strike you a little...   ❜   Pointless — pointless is the word she’s looking for.

        ❛   Maybe I should leave her be. After all, a goddess gets along best with humans from a distance...   ❜

          ❛   Humans even get drinkable running water on this island ?  They could survive in their sleep !   ❜

              NOT   that it made much difference to her, of course — only an observation !  She rests her hands on her hips, bending at the waist to observe the steep drop while otherwise unbothered by the current lapping about her calves. The water wasn’t even frigid, either, nor too hot... This really was the perfect vacation, lack of shelter aside ! 

          ❛   I wonder how steep this waterfall is... Having my vacation cut short by too harsh a fall would just be embarrassing.   ❜

               Ishtar considers herself fortunate indeed that a certain big-headed King isn’t here to witness this, but that’s the tiniest blip of comfort on her radar of woe. How can she, Ishtar, make something so aesthetically... Horrific ?  Something barely functional, so it can’t even be justified ?! 

         ❛   I can’t think of a single goddess that’s been punished by the universe as harshly as me. Usually unfairly, might I add !   ❜   She indeed adds, to no one in particular. 

            I   tried to get her to pipe down, but Ishtar’s insisting on doing some spiralefes things bc she’s already missing her fgo screentime — so I’ll do a small starter call while it’s still running !  Capped at 3, but castmates don’t count for the cap and can like beyond it.

DID I SAY   spiralefes ?? No this is totally a starter call for s.h.o.r.e. idk what you’re talking about lmao
