How did this update make things worse though?!

Like... There's a reason we're telling you that you don't know what you're talking about here. You just posted like this update was some kind of nail in the coffin and I'm sorry but that reading of events simply does not make sense?

This update was objectively an update about things getting better. The fact that you're acting like it was the opposite does not actually help your position.
 
[X] "Now you're just being creepy. You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?"

Other vote is fine too, but this is more in line with the casually caustic tone that I'm here for :V

Another week or two of this thread turning into the Bonneville salt flats is a disheartening prospect. I'm tired.

See, this is exactly what I mean. My word means nothing, it's just inherently wrong because you or somebody else says it is. No citations, no quotes, just 'no'. I am not going to waste my time on people who don't want a debate, just a boost.
 
I...must admit to some confusion here. there's no saving what? What did the thing need saving from? I'm actually pretty okay with this development, we're finally back on the same page.

There is no saving this. There wasn't any saving this 28 IRL days ago, there wasn't any saving this two weeks ago, and there wasn't any saving this after the Aquarium date. Because characters don't communicate. Because players can't get their shit together. Because fucking trolley problems. Because Brie has to be a bitter, betrayed living weapon to put Kiritsugu to shame.

I find this a rather odd reaction, rider did talk brie down so now they're going to sit down and talk it out. Shits still fucked yeah, but this was a case of them managing to communicate. would you mind explaining your reaction a bit here? I feel like I'm either misunderstanding either your post or the update

Regardless of how good your arguments are, people are not going to want to listen to you if you come off as toxic as you have been. Your tone and the way you phrase things matter. You've been taking potshots at the QM and the players for some time now. And when Rabbit has asked for calm several times now, you're still sounding off in a passive aggressive and all around unpleasant way.

What good is winning the argument if you do so in a way that makes people not want to listen to you?

I know this isn't your first quest but it still needs to be said. Casting blame on others for why the quest isn't going your way doesn't work. It just doesn't. It just leaves bitter feelings and It's not going to endear others to your way of thinking. Declaring that your talking to a 'brick wall' and thus wasting your time just makes the situation worse.

What I'm saying is, weather or not you're right or wrong, if you want to get anywhere with your arguments, your best bet is to try and do your part in not just keeping things civil but also respectful of the people you're engaging with even if you feel frustrated. It's still the best way to get people to treat you the same way.

    You couldn't help but smile at her words. You allowed yourself a small sigh before you raised your gaze, "You really do care, you small softie."

    "Don't call me small," Brie quipped as she narrowed her gaze.

    "Still... No need to act tough anymore," you told her as you let Caladbolg spin, "We can cry about it later."

    "No... You're going to be the only one crying," Brie said with a smile as she met your gaze.

    She moved, turning into a streak of red as you slammed your sword into her path. She bounced right off before darting to the side and trying again. You parried her blow as she grew faster and faster...

    Or perhaps you were the one getting slower? The command seal messed with your perception and awareness but it wasn't enough to hamper your superhuman senses. You caught her blows one by one, sparks flew into the air before you deflected her perfectly.

    This caused Brie to stagger and deflect your own swing before using the spear as leverage to kick your stomach. She whipped the blunt end of her spear across your face before thrusting the tip for your throat.

    You moved and avoided it before tackling her into the ground.

    "Gotcha!" You snapped as she held out her hand.

    "Aegis!" Brie roared as her shield expanded big enough to knock you off her.

    She rolled to her feet as you shattered her shield with a single swing. Brie thrust her spear while you moved it aside before you grabbed her by her jacket and smashed her into the Church's cross.

    Kicking you off, she cut your face with Gae Bolg before smashing Aegis on your legs. You fell down one knew before she kicked you across your face and you rolled to the side. You aimed Caladbolg at her and had it spin, unleashing a blast of rainbow through the air straight into her chest.

    She stabbed Gae Bolg into the ground and carved open the roof as the two of you rushed one another. You swung your sword as she thrust her spear, the two of you exchanged blows.

    You were pushed back by the ferocity of her blows before she broke your guard. You gasped before she knocked you down on your back and raised her spear. You palmed it to the side and cut the back of your hand. The spear jammed itself to the side of your face.

    "Damn it!" Brie snarled as she plunged the spear once. Her foot fell on your neck as she grit her teeth.

    "Get... Off!" You snarled as she pushed down harder.

    "Going down!" She roared as the roof cracked and gave way. You both fell from the ceiling and crashed into the the church's interior.

    Brie groaned as she got up on top of you before you punched her across her face. She flew to the side and hit the floor before rolling. A black Box hung on the side of her shoulder as she held her hand out.

    You threw a pew her way but she rolled to dodge. The Box floated before you grabbed hold of Caladbolg once Brie began to chant.

    "Let Calamity Dance! Crack open!" Brie chanted as the Box opened, "Unleash your Curses! Black Box of Despair!"(FAUX PANDORA)

    "You bitch, this isn't funny!" You snarled as you held up your sword as the Swarm of Curses glided towards you, "See how you like this! CALADBOLG!"

    Rainbow light erupted from your spiral sword before thundering forward with a violent surge. Brie's eyes widened before she held up her hand.

    "Aegis!" She cried out as the pillar of light missed her by a hair's breadth.

    The Swarm of Curses were purged from the world by the complete brute force of Caladbolg, forcing them to dissipate alongside their effects. You swung the sword upwards and let the pillar of light erupted to the sky, shattering the ceiling of the church.

    The rainbow light vanished before Brie picked up Gae Bolg and swung at you. You parried and deflected her strike. Your body was slowly breaking being worn down the combined sequential battles as well as the Command Seal pressuring you.

    "You fucking suck Medb!" Brie spat as she pushed you back.

    "Fuck you too!" You snapped as you knocked her spear and elbowed her face.

    She swept her spear and cut your calf, forcing you down before you grinded your sword against her spear to knock it aside. You punched her gut before she coughed out blood and stumbled back.

    "I fucking hate you," Brie growled as she held her stomach.

    You wiped your bleeding hand on your dress, staining it red, "Same. You stubborn little brat."

    "Spoiled horny Bimbo," Brie spat as she looked at you.

    "Mental problem gremlin," you growled right back.

    "Rich Man's Semen Rag," Brie hissed in reply.

    "Sociopathic Killer Doll Reject!" You snapped in turn.

    "Stupid High Class Whore!" Brie roared as she held her spear.

    "Walking Rotten Coward!" You yelled back as you gripped your spiral sword.

    "Man Eater!"

    "You fucking Cheese!"

    You both had your weapons shine bright as you both stepped towards one another.

    "CALAD!"

    "GAE!"

    You swung your sword as her spear turned into scarlet light.

    "BOLG!!!"
    ​
    Rainbow light erupted from your sword as you cut through the air. Likewise you felt something red-hot Lance through your chest. The two of you went past one another with that final blow being the last of what your bodies were able to unleash.

    Blood dripped on the ground.

    You let out a breath as you felt Caladbolg vanish from your hands. Your legs gave out before you held your side, right where your heart was...



    It hurt. It hurt so much. But you endured it. You can't appear weak. Not in front of her... Not now.

    "It's not fair. Don't you act tough now, Medb," Brie said as Gae Bolg shattered in her hands, "Remember? If you need a shoulder to cry on or someone who can listen to your complaints, I'll be listening."

    You held your hand on your chest and sighed.

    No wound.

    Your heart kept beating but it hurt still.

    Brie fell on her rear at the same time as you did. You both sat within the church you both utterly trashed with exhausted bodies, breathing hard as you both gathered your thoughts.

    Your wounds were sealing up upon Gae Bolg's destruction but you were still tired. The beating you gave her was no joke. Brie was no doubt hurt both inside and out.

    You leaned on her back as she did the same to yours.

    "I'm listening now, Rider," Brie murmured as she held your hand.

    "Are you?" You smiled as the two of you looked up the sky as dawn fast approached.

    "What kind of insult was that last one? Did you really call me a Cheese?" Brie giggled as she glanced at you.

    "I'm not good at insults, dummy. Pet names maybe. Guys love it during pillow talk," you nodded as you held your hand up.

    "Still... Cheese can't be good for your health," Brie said as she smiled.

    You squeezed her hand and said, "Well, we did just try to kill each other. I don't think you're being healthy to my health at all."

    "Fuck you," Brie hissed.

    "Bite me..." You coughed as the two of you looked at the altar.

    .....

    "One wish. We get one wish," Brie said as she looked back at the ground.

    .....

    "Hey Rider. Did you have fun?"

    .....

    "You know Rider, Disneyland seems like a nice place. I bet you that it's gonna be cool there."

    .....

    "I also want to show you how the world is today. Away from this town, you know? Maybe take a twelve month Cruise."

    .....

    "We'll visit a lot of places, Rider. I want to take you tons of them. And we'll make a lot of memories."

    .....

    "It's only been a few weeks but these days have been the best and worst of my life. Granted I just lived as a person for a short while. But I wouldn't have had as much fun if it weren't for you, Rider."

    .....

    "Rider."

    .....

    "This is good, right, Rider?"

    .....

    "You didn't answer me, Medb. Are you even listening?"

    .....

    You smiled and leaned on her back, "I was just... Savoring the sound of your voice. Just so I could remember it."

    "Creep," Brie chuckled.

    "You're ruining the moment," you playfully elbowed her.

    "Ow. My ribs," Brie groaned as she sighed.

    .....

    "You ready?"

    "Maybe."

    ......
    .....
    ....

    The two girls stood up and supported one another. They were battered and bruised as they approached the chalice which held the power to grant wishes. Taking it one step at a time, they slowly made their way to the altar.

    Holding their hands with one another, they looked up at the Holy Grail as the sun rose and light entered from the windows.

    Rider and Brie both smiled before the latter reached for the Grail.

    The Doll that grew a Heart whispered in silent prayer... But before she could begin, a warm body hugged her from behind. It was very nice. A warm hug distracted Brie as a pair of arms wrapped around her body.

    They were gentle.

    They were warm.

    They were the safest things she could ever imagine.

    Brie realized that it was Rider and slowly placed her hand over her Servant's own. Hot tears began to form in her eyes and fall down upon Rider's skin.

    She was so warm. She never felt more alive. Brie hesitated as tears ran down her face.

    "Hey... What do people say when taking pictures?" Medb asked with a soft tone.

    "Cheese..." Brie managed a small smile as she gathered her courage. She held out her hand to the Grail.
