The Worst Santa! The Worst Santa Has Come! Flee, you fools, lest ye be entrapped! ...Fou!
The Mari Lywd is a Welsh tradition where carolers hide beneath a drapery and carry a hobby-horse from house to house, offering song to ply food, drink, and gifts. Matthew has perverted it to be a portable Mistletoe Platform to enact mischief according to Fou's desires. Poor Cu Chulainn is along for the ride due to some promise or other. From whom to whom, or if it is being called in or if the bribe is forthcoming... That's none of our business. Really.
Bond 1:
Height/Weight: 180cm, 164cm, 30cm/75kg, 59kg, 5kg.
Source: The Ulster Cycle, INaRM, Arthurian Legend
Region: Ireland, Chaldea/Avalon, Britain
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Gender: Male, Male, Male(Animal)
Cu Chulainn was coerced into being this year's Santa-equivalent, a role often left to the young ladies of Chaldea. Matthew 'plays along' as his 'helpful elf', and Fou is there to oversee his dark purpose to fruition. The Time of Matchmaking Has Come. There Will Be No Exceptions.
Bond 2:
Wassailing (Caterwaul) E(X): Cu Chulainn is known for many talents, and is the sun of Lugh. As such, his vocal abilities are top-rate. Likewise, illusion aside, Matthew has his fae heritage to ensnare and ensorcell. If it were only the two, they would be able to charm even the most dangerous of foes on par with Orpheus.
Fou is a squeaky animal and tone-deaf. His addition surpasses the likes of the Emperor of Roses' in auditory assault. Thus the change in effect and drastic drop in rank. It hurts. A lot. And makes people want to kill them. There really is no way to make that sound any better. We've tried.
Fading Cloak of Mischief (B): A strange mix of Presence Concealment and Protection From Arrows, it is an elusive defensive mystic code. However, due to the limited area it is best used by one person at a time. Given the nature of the Mari Llwyd, all participants must be under it - and given the nature of the duo concealed, it causes some slight agitation. ...this could be useful for escalating their battle performance so they finish faster, but we're afraid to try.
Bond 3:
Riding (A): We're not sure how they qualify for this skill, and we really don't want to investigate. Please don't make us.
Magic Resistance (B): It's gotten an upgrade from Cu Chulainn's own skill due to the power of Christmas! And Fairy Runes. Many, many Fairy Runes.
Territory Creation (B): A rank down from Matthew's norm, due to hiding beneath the Fading Cloak of Mischief. Needless to say, Item Construction is right out.
Bad Santa (A++): Theoretically, Santa is meant to give gifts. In fact, there may have been presents left around Chaldea! This Santa gives headaches. Logistical, emotional, stress, so on and so forth. Cu Chulainn will share his boons with all, albeit grudgingly - and at price. One day, he will collect.
Bond 4:
Furry Disaster (C): A bevy of benefits that come from working with a Beast of Disaster, even in a Larval Form. Fou enhances a variety of abilities, bringing the Servant closer to Santa-hood. ...or something. Mostly he scurries around and terrifies people.
Mistletoe Massacre (The Time of Restitution Has Come) (D)
Anti-Encampment Noble Phantasm.
Fou perches upon the tip of the Crimson Spear, and enacts a Magic Circle Bounded Field with the sprig of mistletoe around his neck. A mere act of affection is all that is needed to break free.
...however.
Cu Chulainn has no desire to celebrate the holiday that usurped the winter festivals of his people, and if he does not get 'something' out of it, he will make his ire known. The more he has given, the greater his rage - and he will unleash it all upon the targets gathered for festivity. Matthew merely helps for the chaos of it all, and Fou follows after.
The rank comes from the fact that neither Gae Bolg nor Anwynn Ataraxia are made use of, nor any other form of violence outside of merry fisticuffs. A cloud of dust often obscures the 'comic' carnage that entails. ...in a dire occasion, perhaps 'Thunder Feat' may be overheard.
Bond 5:
While the disposition of this Servant may vary amongst its components - surly, mischievous, and Machiavellian - they do ultimately mean well. They won't harm the Master, and allies are safe from their ire. If they were to encounter an enemy camp, all bets are off. For the purposes of INaRM, the dangers they represent are mostly absent in favor of merry mischief.
The reason? Ultimately, Fou and Matthew wanted to give Mash an excuse to hold Ritsuka's hand for Christmas. They simply chose the route to make it everyone else's problem. Including Cu Chulainn's. They are very lucky he likes his 'Mischief' so much, or there would be some resentment for certain.
A very odd Servant, and one not likely to be encountered anywhere else.
EXTRA (Clear 'Fou-Ex's Mistletoe Massacre')
And so Christmas came to a close. Many couples became closer, flings occurred, and even new love blossomed on the Holy Night. Families reunited, and new friendships were struck.
And Cu Chulainn got his repayment. All's well that ends well, right?
At least, until next Christmas. ...is this to be a recurring Santa?
Heaven help us all.
