=====

You are Harry James Potter, and you just killed a man.

To be fair, he was trying to kill Illya. Well, at least, you are under the assumption that since he was a deranged and murdering psychopath who tried to kill -you-, Illya would have been next on his list of "people who I'm going to kill today." It's a good thing he only tried using the Avada Kedavra on you, as trying to kill The Death of Things with a spell that imposes Death doesn't exactly work.

The Aurors - or rather, Auror - have arrived, unfortunately too late to do anything particularly useful. You suppose Mr. Kiritsugu's low regard for Law Enforcement response times applies to Wizards as well. Tonks is giving the sole Auror to arrive on the scene goo-goo eyes; apparently, this Regulus Black fellow is highly decorated, and something of a national hero.

Personally, you think Professor Snape is more competent, though your vision may be colored by the fact that he didn't die when he was killed.

At the moment, you personally feel the compartment that you're in is getting a little corpsy. It takes a bit to convince Regulus, but between your word, Illya's word, Snape's word, Neville's silence and an impassioned speech by Tonks about how she dreamed to follow in Regulus' footsteps, you manage to pass the buck onto Tonks and get away from that eyesore sickening feeling drilling away at your stomach.

Ron eventually takes the three of you to a trolly occupied by two of his older brothers, and one of their friends. You suspect that said brother's aren't named Gred and Forge, but you've heard less likely names coming from Magi, so you'll take them at face value for now. The two of them, and Lee, seem to be a pretty swell pair of blokes.

>Field too long.

>>27014512
On the way there, you stopped at the trolly, to grab some sweets in celebration of not dying. You get yourself...
>A pack of Berty Botts Every Flavored Beans.
>A container of chocolate frogs.
>A couple of Licorice Wands.
>A bag of pepper imps.

You of course decide to grab a jumbo sized sack of Berty Botts Every Flavored Beans.

You insist to yourself that you are doing this for purely scientific reasons, born of a fascination with the possibility of something that claims to have every possible flavor. Certainly not for some innane and shallow reason such as how they look under your gaze tainted by the visions of death. Though you will admit, taking a look at the bag over your Mystic Eye Killers, the lines of death on these things shift in such wonderful and interesting ways, painting your vision with a psychadelic spectrum of infinite possibility.

Maybe that's the key behind their claim. Maybe these jelly beans, these jelly beans are an embodiment of infinity, directly connected with the Root!

Or maybe you're just being silly.

"Berty Botts, huh?" Gred - you can tell by his lines - says. "Excellent choice, if you don't mind my opinion - those can be some of the most delightful candies you'll ever have."

"Or some of the most disgusting," Forge pipes in. "I once got myself a bag where every bean was a different sort of rotten fish."

"Bro, that's not sporting," Gred says. "You were supposed to wait until he got a garbage flavored one."

"He's Harry Potter, bro," Forge replies. "We owe him one for finishing off old Moldy Voldy when he was a tyke."

"So long as it's only one..."

"Well obviously."

[I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHETHER YOU FAILED OR SUCCEEDED]
[ERROR CODE 485: YOU HAVE BROKE THE SIMULATOR]

You attempt to be subtle.

There are a myriad of ways that you could accomplish your mission - to trick everyone around you into consuming one of these infernal things, including yourself. You slip off your glasses, which get's a worried look from Illya. You pay it no mind. You're on a mission for SCIENCE, and you will not be stopped. You wish to determine just how the beans work, just why their lines of death shift so unpredictably, compared to those of other objects.

With utmost subtlety, you begin your operation. The twins, you note, are the most likely subjects to realize that they are being victimized, as they themselves boast of victimizing so many others. Your hands are swift as lightning, throwing two beans at each of their mouths with all of the precision you were taught by Mr. Kiritsugu.

Sure, that was meant to be used on throwing knives, against people who meant you and Illya harm, but hell. This is practice. And practice makes perfect.

"Hey!" Gred exclaims. "Nice party trick, and... Ooh, a good one! Chocolate!'

"My brother has all the luck," Forge bemoans, "Brussel sprouts. Blech."

Interesting, you note. The lines were shifting in each bean up until they came in contact with saliva, at which point they stabilized into a unique and solid form. Perhaps... perhaps the flavor is not determined until it comes into contact with the subjects mouth. Further data points are required for the ruleset to be established.

>Fielld too frickin long.
>>
>>27015963
One in each hand, two more beans are flung, this time at Hermione and Neville, who are quite busy chatting about the finer points of the Herbology textbook. Apparently, for a person as morbid as he is, Neville truly has a fondness for plants; whether or not that's born out of a love of flora, or an interest in crossbreeding and toxins is something that you aren't sure of just yet. At the moment, it just seems to be the former, but...

"Harry!" Hermione cough. "I could of choked on that, and... hmmm... actually, that's not bad. Raspberry."

"Speak for yourself, Herm," Neville grimaces. "Who in their right mind would make a jelly bean with a 'bangers and mash' flavor? I mean, it's not bad, but... it just doesn't work..."

You note the same sort of transformation among the lines of the two beans that you flung their. Not enough data points for something if it was going to be a peer reviewed study of the nature of said beans, but more than enough to informally confirm the hypothesis formed from the reactions of Gred and Forge. Three test subjects remain - but for some reason, you don't feel like getting Mr. Jordan involved.

You take aim with two more beans...

"Bloody hell mate!" Ron exclaims. "Come on, you did two at once for me? Where everyone else only had to sit through one? That's just not bloody fair..." He chews. "Huh. Calamari and Marinara. I guess it could have been worse..."

You look at Illya, who is currently staring in shock at one of the cards she found among her pack of chocolate frogs, and a wicked idea crosses your mind. Sure, it might make Illya mad at you, at least in the short term, but it -would- confirm or deny the final test of your hypothesis.

Do you go through with it?

Actually, this gives us more data. We see what happens when a bean touches one mouth then another. Will it switch in between the two, or stay the same?
>>
>>27015972
yes

we are going to find a way to put this to use in combat if its the last thing i do, gotta put them crits to use

maybe a rapidly changing spell that cycles through a dozen different incapacitating spells before it hits them, making it impossible to counter?
>>
>>27016296
Now thats thinking with SCIENCE!
>>
>>27016311
GENIUS!

This seems like a remarkably childish thing to do.
Which, I guess means it's in character.
>>
>>27016311
Protego, the most common shield charm, is pretty much all-purpose, though.
>>
>>27016320
or maybe a lump of iron that when throw shifts between dozens of different weapons? would be a bit less impractical
>>
>>27016311
Given that pretty much any spell can be deflected by any other spell, this probably won't really do much for us.
>>
What about a mystic code in the form of a knife that, when thrown, varies between being anywhere from 1 to 20 knives until it strikes the subject.
>>
>>27016357
we could incorporate crack/death magic into it allowing it the ability to exploit the cracks in the shield. tho im not sure how these eyes of ours work exactly as i havent seen the cannon for them
>>
>>27016296
DO IT
>>
>>27016360
I think a constantly changing poison would be more practical, and more in line with the Burty Bots Every Flavored Beans.
>>
>>27016385
that could be good, you wouldnt know which to block, great for confusing the enemy
>>
>>27016398
Go watch Kara no Kyokai. It's faster than going through all of Tsukihime, and it'll give you the rundown on the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Also, they're called "Lines".
>>
>>27016416
didnt think of that one, thats pretty much insta-death even with magic antipoisions

not that we need anymore ways to kill people but we should still do it

>>27016398
The MEoDP allows one to perceive, and sever, the Concept that supports an Existence, thereby bringing that thing to Death.
>>
>>27016440
the movies?

>>27016449
thats pretty much the basis that ive gathered from this quest
>>
>>27016471
The movies are far better than the light novels.
>>
>>27016481
i was just confirming, i never have really been able to get into things that jump around so much like that. just when it interests you it tears away and goes to a completely new story
>>
>>27016471
Incidentally, if you could reverse that, you'd probably be immune to the Eyes. It has so many fucking obnoxious implications that purists would want to hang me, but major characters do get a free rulebreak in Nasuverse.
>>
>>27016471
Yes. One of only three good Nasuverse anime. The other two are the Fate/Zero animu and Carnival Phantasm.

You decide to go through with it.

Oh boy is Illya going to kill you. Maybe.

Oh boy is Mr. Kiritsugu going to kill you when he finds out. Probably.

Still, worth it. For science, among other things. Besides, you've already confessed to one another earlier, even if you were having a bit of a break down, it's only natural for you to do certain things like that. I mean, it's not like you're doing any of the horrible icky things that Mrs. Irisviel showed you in all of those horrible horrible horrible horrible disgusting comics from Mr. Kiritsugu's homeland.

That's actually enough to make you second guess your decision to follow through with this idea of yours. The very thought that -this- might wind up leading to -that- is enough to give you pause, and make your stomach perform more backflips than a circus performer hyped up on too much caffeine.

But no.

You must go through with it.

For science.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Ron asks. "You've been staring at that bean for a while now. It won't be -that- bad; pink's a safe color. The worst I've ever gotten from that was some sort of sickly bubble gum flavor, what's the worst that could happen?"

"It could wind up being human flesh!" Gred cheers.

"Or cold sores!" Forge adds.

You hope it's neither of those. That would be sort of freaky; and disgusting. You pause for a moment to wonder how either of those brothers would -know- what either of those taste like, or how you would know if you got it, before setting the thought down. You can't overthink things like this. Not with Science on the line. Not with Illya on the line.

You pop the jellybean into your mouth.

Strawberries.

Thank heavens. Illya loves strawberries.

>Field. It's long. Too long.
>>
>>27016930

You lean over towards Illya. You don't approach all that slowly, as if you did, you would probably lose your nerve. Or get slapped for invading her personal space. Well, that last bit is probably going to happen anyways, but you put the thought out of your mind. You really don't have the nerve to think things through that thoroughly at the moment.

Before you go through with it, an odd thought pops into your head.

You killed a man before you had your first kiss.

Wow.

That's kind of sad. Tragic, even.

But that's not the point. The point is, as fastly as you can manage without bumping your head into her, you lean into Illya and kiss her. You can vaguely hear the catcalls of immature teenagers applauding your boldness as you then proceed to use your tongue to transfer the jellybean from your mouth to hers. Then, near as quickly as you did it, you lean backwards, your face no doubt a shade of bright, bright red.

"Strawberries..." Illya says, half in a daze. "I mean... uh, Harry, WHAT THE HECK! Not that I mind or anything, but sheesh, give me some warning next time, will you?"

You...

"So, uh, did the bean taste like strawberries then?" You ask.

"Harry!" Hermione interrupts, scandalized for Illya's sake. "That... that was -horribly innappropriate-! Thatthatthat is HARDLY appropriate behavior for... for.. for two eleven year olds to be doing in the middle of... Youyouyou should APOLOGIZE, apologize to Illya for being so... so INAPPROPRIATE!"

There is a beat.

"Hermione~" Illya chirps, latching on to your arm. "Just because Harry's all~mine~ now doesn't mean that I'll be neglecting you~! Ohohoho~ No, that would be such a wasted opportunity~"

There is another beat.

Ron, Lee, and the Twins snicker. Neville, who seemed to be nearly as scandalized by your display of public affection as Hermione was, quietly buries his face into an advanced herbology textbook, no doubt meant for NEWT level students. You are somewhat glad that Illya isn't so very very mad for the liberties you just took, and also somewhat horrified at the same time. Hermione, if anything, is more scandalized than ever.

She takes a deep breath, and looks you dead in the eyes.

"Harry," she says. "Snog her again please."

"Either way, I win." Illya sounds happy. Too happy. She practically -sung- that, and the implications terrify the pants off of you. Actually, no, that's a bad metaphor. The point is...

You then notice the way that she's smiling.

Oh dear sweet christ she's just like her mother, isn't she?

"So, ah, Illya!" You say. "I noticed that your grandfather was on one of the Chocolate frog cards! What's that about?"

"Oh, nothing~" she says. She also happens to be leaning uncomfortably close to you - actually, no, she's full on pressing herself against you. And it's extremely uncomfortable, as while you would not at all mind marrying this girl and starting a family with her - NOW IS NOT THE TIME. "Old Man Acht apparently has a bit of a... history with some guy named Albus Dumbledore, is all..."

He's trying NOT to lose control. We're the voice in his head telling him to do just that.

"Any chance I can take a look?" You ask, slinking back a bit in a vain attempt to regain some of your lost personal space. Yeah, you don't think you're getting that back until someone pries her off of you. "Considering the fact that Albus Dumbledore happens to be, you know, the headmaster of the school this train is heading to, it would be nice to know whether there's any bad blood between him and the von Einzbern's."

Illya pouts.

"Oh, you're no fun," she complains. She takes the card, and... of course she hold it just outside of your reach. Actually -giving- you the card would just make things too bloody easy, wouldn't it. "Fine, I'll give you the card, on one condition."

You nod slowly, dreading the worst. Illya, she never really believed all that much in fair deals - more than once, she managed to extort some of the other girls in school into dressing up like maids for her, in exchange for various favors. It.. never worked more than once, as generally few enough classmates were stupid enough to ask Illya for a favor more than once.

Quite frankly, you fear for your chastity. Which is odd; isn't it usually the -girl- whose the one who is supposed to be fearing for -her- chastity, and isn't that only supposed to hapen when the two parties are alone. But you suppose that this is your only path... you don't think Illya will do anything that you'll come to regret later.

Hopefully.

"More cuddles!" She says, latching on to you. Wait, wasn't she already sort of pressing herself into you? You aren't quite sure of the mechanics of this maneuver, but at least it isn't nearly as overtly innappropriate as it was beforehand.

You sigh in resignation.

"Fine."

>Field too Long.
>>
>>27017977
The card passes into your hand, and you take a closer look at it. You're in all honestly quite surprised - whenever this portrait was made, it had to have been ages ago. "Old Man Acht" looks maybe a little bit older than Tonks, a little bit younger than Regulus - a young man in the prime of his life. Certainly not the wizened and ancient old Magus who is known for never leaving his castle.

===JUBSTACHEIT VON EINZBERN===

Little is known about this enigmatic alchemist, save that he was for a time apprenticed under Nicholas Flamel. Having disappeared and reappeared throughout the past two centuries, it is believed his name may have become a title, taken by multiple wizards, likely his descendents. His last confirmed sighting was in Hogsmeade, October 31, 1981, sharing a drink with his fellow apprentice: Albus Dumbledore.

Consistent among his many appearances are his white hair, golden eyes, and his accompaniment by a small battalion of maids - speculated to be Homunculi. He received the Order of Merlin, First Class, for his single handed defense of his homeland of Bulgaria during Grindelwald's War.

======

This just raises further questions. You know who Flamel is, but...

You are now aware that some time there will be shenanigans afoot that will force us to dress up as a maid. We will have to spend the entire time avoiding Illya or else she rapes us right then and there.

Jesus, you guys are almost as bad as the people who think that good old Uncle Tom doesn't have Tonks' best interests at very warped heart. He just wants to win the #1 Bestest Uncle of the Year Award, guys, even if he's really, really bad at being good.

>>27018055
Yeah, pretty much. Why else do you think -every single canon von Einzbern Homunculus- is a female, and a Maid, with the exception of Iri (who probably would have been a maid, if Kiri didn't marry her)?

>>27018089
It's not rape if it's Illya. It's friendly skinship.
>>
>>27018202
Paranoia is endemic in the roleplay community.
>>
>>27018202
Zouken's waifu wan't a maid....was she?
>>
>>27018216
Think about it from the character's point of view. What reason does Tom have to be Tonks' enemy, and what reason does Acht have to be ours?
>>
>>27018136
>>27018163
Just remember that she might get kicked out of hogwarts if she rapes a student in the open.
>>
>>27018202
We must be in the same house as illya, no compromises

Wonder when the timeskip are gonna be
>>
>>27018253

No it would just be public indecency, we'd cover for her

Plus, it's not rape if you like it
>>
>>27018089
Why would we avoid her?
>>
>>27018202
I think its less paranoia and more 'oh shit how much of our life has been carefully planned and more importantly WHAT DO THEY EXPECT US TO DO"
>>
>>27018268
no way, there would be tons of interesting hooks available if we weren't in the same house as her.

>>27018297
In Acht's case, he just expects you to love his beloved grand daughter and add the strength of the Peverell's to his family's own by way of lots and lots of darling great grandchildren.

It helps a LOT that Kiri succeeded in winning the von Einzbern's the grail. That a von Einzbern branch will inherit the Emiya crest, well that's gravy. Now that his ambition is fulfilled, he can sit back and play benevolent patriarch while his grandkids squabble for the right to inherit the family Crest.

You attempt to initiate maneuver number seven hundred and sixty two, in an attempt to force through an on screen info dump. There are so many questions this card brings up, questions that need answering - you almost forget to fulfill the snuggle quota that Illya demanded in recompense for showing you said card. Who was this Grindelwald character? What is this 'Order of Merlin, First Class' thing that Illya's grandfather was awarded? Why did Old Man Acht meet up with Albus Dumbledore on the night your parents died?

Unfortunately, all but one of these things can be answered with outside knowledge, independent of this story and rooted within J.K. Rowling's Canon. The very threads of the Universe rise up against your attempt to invoke an info dump, and in their haste they throw the baby away with the bath water. Gaia itself screams in rage, that one would dare violate the sanctity of her rules, that no walls of text shall be dedicated to mindless infodumpery, and shunts all of the information into the depths of the off screen.

The rest of the ride towards Hogwarts goes without much incident. You ask your questions of your friends new and old, and between the cultural knowledge of Neville and the Weasleys, and the textbook knowledge of Hermione Granger, your questions are answered. Grindelwald was a necromantic douchebag who was basically Wizard Hitler. The Order of Merlin is like the American Medal of Honor, only much more magicky sounding, and First Class is the highest that can be bestowed.

Somehow, in the middle of it all, Illya winds up falling asleep on your lap. You cradle her head for the rest of the ride, somewhat glad that her... excitement... died down a little.

>Field too long.
>>
>>27018750
Before you know it, the train comes to a stop - the jovial voice of the conductor announcing that you have arrived in the town of Hogsmeade. You aren't quite sure what it is with these Wizards and their obsession with Pigs, but you aren't going to question it. You wake up Illya, and the two of you walk hand in hand off the train together.

In the distance, you see a large man who's posture reminds you of Illya's big friendly dog. In one hand he holds a great big lantern, and in the other hand he holds an enormous, Pink umbrella.

"Firs' years!" he calls. "Firs' years over here!"

"Well, that's us." You say. "But why only the first years?"

As you walk over, Hermione is more than happy to show off what she learned from Hogwarts a History. Of course, if you're reading this, you've probably already read the books or watched the movies, so there's really no need to explain it a second time. All you really need to know is that there are four to a boat, and unfortunate Ron and Neville went off to join up with some of there friends from the Wizarding Community.

You, Hermione, and Illya get in one of the boats, and they way things are split up, there is room for one more. You decide to take...

I've said it in an earlier thread. I'm not going to write a grail war for this quest. Not unless you want it to feature Old Man Harry and Granny Illya duking it out against all these young whipper snappers and their fancy augmented reality and their transhumanism and their declining magic...

I think Rakan has more swords, by nature of his artifact, plus every other kind of weapon.

Raken would have more swords up until he actually uses those swords. Archer has all of those plus all of gil's swords plus his own two.
>>
>>27019358
>Archer has all of those plus all of gil's swords plus his own two.
Plus every single sword he encountered over the course of his life.
>>
>>27019294
You cannot have more swords than Archer. If you do and he sees them then he has them too. And he can make loads of them at once.
>>
>>27019377
>>27019358
Once he figured that out he'd switch to I dunno, Axes? Magical Arrows? Anything not a sword?

No, he did. Bahsahkah was stronger. Archer is the ultimate hard counter to Gilgamesh, and is surprisingly strong for his class, but he isn't even near Herakles' level in a straight fight.
>>
>>27019437
>ultimate hard counter
>would still get raped in the ass by EA extremely badly
seriously Gils Noble is broken as almighty fuck when the damn thing even shits a hole through gaias reality marble.
>>
>>27019460
Ea is a hard counter to everything. It's a perfect object that predates its own Concept.
>>
>>27019400
Yeah, he did.

All the swords he summons receive an automatic rank-down from their original forms. And aside from his FUCKING INSANE stats and NINE GODDAMN LIVES, Berserker was also flat immune to any attack below A rank.

Archer didn't have all that much in his arsenal capable of hurting him, much less killing him nine times over in a single fight. I think he still ended up killing him like 4 or 5 times though.
>>
>>27019460
And yet, Proto-Archer Shirou completely hard-countered Gil's shit.

Ea? Just cut off his arm before he can use it, because Gil is a fucking SCRUB when he can't just swordspam.
>>
>>27019483
5, yeah.

Archer is FUCKING HARDCORE when his master's hormones aren't turning him into a suicidal jobber.
>>
>>27019483
He killed him seven times, I think. And then, because those wounds weren't able to heal, Caliburn killed him again, once for itself and then once more for all of those wounds Archer gave him. So Archer killed him fourteen times without his Reality Marble.
>>
>>27019460
Well yeah Ea trumps everything short of Avalon, but given how Gilgamesh won't use it if it's someone who isn't worthy of it (and a mongrel faker definitely wouldn't be worthy) then Archer is just flat out better at their fighting style than him and by the time he'll be desperate enough to pull out Ea it'll already be too late.

You can't just say "Well what if Gilgamesh did something he would never do?" to dispute a hard counter status.

That's only cause he got overconfident and didn't wear his armor. Serious Gil is near impossible to take down.

>Serious Gil is near impossible to take down.

Gil doesn't GET serious for anything. It goes completely against his character.
>>
>>27019563
Like he instantly pulled out Ea when Shirou dropped his Reality Marble on him oh wait.
>>
>>27019556
Gil has all the rulebreakers, though. He's the perfect example of a perfect being, with chains that bind god, the purest examples of all divine mysteries and Noble Pantasms, a Sword that predates Sword, and I think I heard once that he has a trinket that gives him some resistance to True Magic, but I'm pretty sure that's bullshit because I don't actually remember reading it anywhere except a conversation about him.
>>
>>27019460
Ea may be the ultimate Noble Phantasm, but its got a very distinctive charge-up time, similar to Excalibur in speed. You cannot match it in power or block it, but you can dodge it, or stab him to death before he gets the attack off. Shirou did the latter, so it stands to reason that Archer could as well, considering he WAS Shirou (but better in every conceivable way, at least when not master-less and conserving mana) in terms of fighting capability.

Gil might win if he went full ruthless and concentrated on nothing but winning at all costs, but that isn't how he rolls, especially not against a goddamn piece of shit faker like Archer. When his opponents piss him off he likes to toy with them and humiliate them to prove his superiority, its kind of hard-coded into his personality. Ea is his only true trumpcard in this matchup, but his retard-level arrogance prevents him from using it until the last possible moment when it may or may not be too late.

UBW is a Reality Marble, not a Marble Phantasm. Two completely different things.
Lemme try and remember how it was explained to me.
Picture a jar, filled with 99 white marbles, and 1 black marble.
Now picture two people. Both can always pull a black marble out of the jar.
One, we'll call her Pam, does it using a Marble Phantasm.
The other, we'll call him Robert, does it using a Reality Marble.
When Pam reaches into the jar and triggers her Marble Phantasm, she just always pulls out the black one without really needing to try or think about it. The Marble Phantasm rapes probability so that she has a 100% chance of pulling the black marble, instead of the 1% a normal person would have.
When Robert reaches into the jar and activates his Reality Marble, all of the marbles turn black. His Reality Marble rapes the universe into being how he wants it to be.

>>27019650
Welcome to Nasu, enjoy your stay.
>>
>>27019645
A more simple version of that:

Marble Phantasm is the ability to always pull the one black marble out of the jar.

A Reality Marble is the ability to turn all the marbles green, and have them dance around playing traditional mexican folk tunes while wearing sombreros.

I find that gets across the "I reject the very rules of reality and substitute my own" factor inherent in Reality Marbles.
>>
>>27019666
As opposed to a Marble Phantasm, which breaks out the whips and chains and makes reality beg to its mistress.
>>
>>27019714
Ya know, despite how talked up Marble Phantasm is, Arc doesn't really do much fancy stuff with it.
>>
>>27019745
She uses it all of once in Tsukihime proper, and it's pretty impressive there, if not terribly fancy.

Then comes Melty Blood and suddenly Marble Phantasm is CHAINS, CHAINS EVERYWHERE.
>>
>>27019071
...that gives me an idea.

Harry is learning to make Mystic Codes, right?

And Kerry recognised wands as a primitive kind of Mystic Code.

With a bit more time and training Harry could modify his changeling spear into acting as a wand for casting HP-verse spells.

This is all hinds of awesome.

>>27020480

Are we not also really good at healing?

...wait...what if once we learn spells that heal injury...we tried using our ability to see lines to kill the injury...or use our knowledge of how the injury could kill us to better and more quickly/efficiently mend both ourselves or others...

Can we use the ability to see the death of things to spite death on some occasions?
>>
>>27023523
Are WE good at healing? Maybe, maybe not. We haven't tried. Our WAND is good at healing, though.

For your second question, canon Ryougi saved someone's life by killing their appendicitis and canon Tohno stopped a suicide by killing the poison they had already consumed.

>>
>>27023763
You mean where we do absolutely nothing until a stupidly unusual or rare case comes by, which might prompt us to activity once every few weeks at best?
>>
>>27023860
If he's banging ilya in the interlude weeks then fuck yes.

>>27023860
No, when that happens we just dotstab whatever's ailing the patient and be done with it.
>>

Either her or Tonks. Or both.

But then we're a solitary miracle worker unless we develop a type of magic that works on illness like we work on death.

Given Harry's recent loveyness with Ilya spiking, I am hard pressed to see him not sticking with Ilya. And maybe whoever she turns into her maids, iunno.

>>27024202
Why, so we can save the life of a young boy who becomes a horrible monster? No thanks. Tenma's cool, but I wouldn't want to be him.
>>
>>27024202
No no no, we blend Magical Medicine and Mundane Medicine for the benefit of all and become the kick off point for a future where magic exists in the open...because if the Statute of Secrecy bullflop carries on for much longer, the Wizard Community is going to be soooooo far left behind. I know it shows up in their Mundane Fantasy lit....but is it widely realized that Muggles have been to the moon...and have harnessed the power of atomic fire?
>>
>>27024252
By saving his life we would cause dozens of other people to die. We can't not do this it's practically written into our existence.

Also guys I'm unclear, at first I thought we were supposed to take Harry and Illya's "I love you"s as trauma induced not yet serious but I'm not sure any more.
>>
>>27024326
So you're saying we're doomed to become Wizard Kenzo Tenma?
On the one hand, I fuckin' love Monster, so I'm cool with this. On the other hand, being Tenma is suffering, almost as much as being Lancer.

"Sorry, this seat's taken."

Those are your only words as various other first years try to board the boat that you, Illya, and Hermione have taken for yourselves. Hermione seems somewhat annoyed that you're not even -trying- to make nice with some of the other first years. Illya on the other hand seems delighted - quite possibly because your efforts are reserving her a boat alone with her two favorite chew toys.

Of course, some of the students are a bit curious or impetuous enough to demand to know -who- has taken the vacantly occupied. This is where Gilgamesh comes in. Being a possibly venomous and certainly unidentifiable snake of unknown breeding and species, he is the perfect candidate for driving off people whom you don't much care to sit next to. You do sort of wish Ron and Neville stuck around - you could probably get away with letting Illya sit on your lap or something - but something came up about "cute Indian twins."

You're kind of glad that you won't have to go through with any of those bizarre courting rituals with Illya. Hopefully. Though honestly, you wouldn't be surprised if she demanded that you go through them for the sake of tradition, love, and justice.

"'Ey mate, wha's all these cholo's saying about me?" Gil asks.

"They're intimidated by your magnificence," you tell him. "You're a pretty big snake, Gil, and an exotic one at that. I think they might think you're venomous."

"Bloody right, I am," he says. "Me mum always told me - all the venom in the world was ours, if we wanted to use it."

Now that's interesting. The muggle textbooks on snakes weren't much to go by when it came to identifying just what sort of creature Gilgamesh was. Neither was the copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that you picked up from the bookstore in Diagon Alley. Gil having any venom he wanted - even if it was just limited to those of mundane serpents - was another data point to work with.

"S-so cute..."

>Field too long...
>>
>>27024710
Your musings are interrupt by a soft and stutter voice saying something you weren't quite expecting. Cute was hardly the adjective you were aiming for, letting Gilgamesh off of your arm to slither up next to Hermione. You were hoping for something along the lines of "Scary", or "bloody terrifying", or at the very least "Cool".

"C-can I p-pet him?"

Gil turns his head to you, a bit surprised that this one isn't scurrying off like all the others.

"Wha's this one saying 'bout me, mate?"

You blink. Hermione glares at you, with a look that says "Harry, I swear to God if you find an excuse to keep the -one- person who wasn't intimidated by your pet off of this boat, I will blast you with the full destructive power of friendship." Illya doesn't seem to be paying much attention, having fallen asleep again.

"She's saying you're... cute." You tell him. "She wants to pet you."

There is a beat.

"I like this one, mate," He says. "Not a cowardly fookin' cholo like all the others, tha's for sure."

There is another beat.

Hermione's glare intensifies.

Oh, fine. You suppose you will have to get used to dealing with new people - besides, it's not like Dudley is here to turn them all against you! A fresh start, without any -piece of shit bullies- who all want to join in on the Harry Hunting...

"Yeah, sure," you say. "Come on in."

Huh. The moment that the newcomer - Anne Choi, she says her name is - takes a seat next to Hermione, the boat start shuddering forward. As you watch Gilgamesh wrap himself around the girl's arm - and you swear, he's -preening- from her attention - a thought runs through your mind. Was this some sort of test? Would you have been dropped from the program, if your antisocial tendencies prevented a fourth from coming aboard?

Either way, you find the boat ride to be...

You are Harry James Potter, and you are in for one wild...

Wait, this isn't the start of a new thread.

"Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod..."

Hermione is clinging to the sides of the boat like it was some sort of life preserving flotation device. Anne is doing much the same, though instead of hyperventilating prayer's for mercy into the cold blue of the night she just looks a little green. Illya, of course, is sleeping soundly as the windswept waves knock the boat around in a hypnotic, drowsy rhythm. You, on the other hand, are doing something -extremely- stupid.

Your faithful snake wrapped around your arm has perched its head upon your shoulder as if it were some sort of exotic bird. You yourself have taken the stance of the Pirates Privateers that scoured the seas in the name of Great Britain. One foot braced against the stern of your ship, one foot firmly planted on the deck, you do not flinch nor falter in the face of the ripping winds or the icy chill of the lake spray.

You wonder if you could have avoided this if you cast off earlier, and not prompted the boat into catching up with the rest of the Fleet of the First Years.

"Wha's in sa hells are we doing, mate?" Gilgamesh asks you.

"Being awesome." You state succintly.

"HARRY!" Hermione yells over the rip of the winds. "Quit talking to you snake and sit down! You'll fall overboard!"

"These winds are nothing!" you roar over the windy roar. "There's not a chance in hell that I'll fall overboard."

Well that's just tempting fate. Really? In the middle of a wind ripped lake, as waves are rocking your boat back and forth, while you do the incredibly stupid and perch yourself on the stern, assuring someone that no, you won't fall overboard? That's just asking to have some twist of circumstance push you overboard, isn't it?

>Field is too long!
>>
>>27026973

So of course, right as you finish your boast, the boat quakes, your foot slips, and you find yourself and your pet suddenly plunged into water that is suprising warm. You suppose you have to thank the fact that it's the tail end of summer for that; it must not yet have cooled off from the heat of the month of August. Still, being suddenly submerged within lakewater is far from the most pleasant of experiences, and you would much appreciate the opportunity to go back and -not- screw around.

If only so your clothes weren't wet anymore.

Seriously, if you had been in your swim trunks, you'd probably be okay with this.

"Harry you -IDIOT-!" Hermione yells.

"Blech!" Anne moans, as she loses her lunch over the side of the retreating boat.

"Chocolate syrup?" Illya murmurs, still asleep. "And you want to... well now Harry... how could I say no to that~"

"Cholo," Gilgamesh curses. "I hate taking a swim. Always chills my blood down to the cartiledge when I get out... Get back to the boat."

now we'll be know as that one kid who fought a lake monster and won

Well this is great.

You can only imagine that from now on, you won't be known among your peers as the magically potente childe whom slew the Dark Lord with but a thought in his infancy. No, you can see the laughing and jeering faces dancing all around you, your newfound friends turning their backs on you. Life would be little different than it was back when you were in grade school, except now you wouldn't be known as Hairy Harry or Potty Wee Potter.

Now you'll be known forever more as the Boy Who Slipped.

You sulk there in the water, face down and blowing bubbles, ignoring your pet snake's requests for you to swim on and catch up with the boat as you wallow in your own self pity. Poor, poor Harry Potter - that sad, sad eleven year old boy who is cursed to see the deaths of everyone he loves, a loser whose hands are already tainted with blood. An indelible mark upon his soul, the mark of a...

You are interrupted from your attempts at being emo by the fact that some vaguely snake like thing is wrapping around your torso.

"Hey Gil," you ask, hesitantly, "Tell me that you're wrapping yourself around my chest for warmth, and that's not some sort of lake monster getting ready to devour me..."

"I don't know about any lake monster, Harry, but I can be bloody sure that that's not me," Gil hisses into your ear. "I went for your shoulder - everysnake knows that tha's where the warmest part of a human is."

"Oh," you say. "Bugger."

You feel yourself being hoisted, up into the air. You have but a moment to react to the actions of this creature. You decide to...
>Attack to kill! No lake monster will be getting the best of Harry James Potter! [ROLL 3d6]
>Attack to incapacitate! You don't want to be eaten, but you've killed enough things today... [ROLL 3d6]
>Sit back and enjoy the ride. It's not dragging you down into its maw to be devoured, is it now?

We shouldn't attack him, he's just trying to help us out.
>>
>>27027349

"Sit back and enjoy the ride. I can't imagine a school wouldn't have safe guards in place for new students. Though keep on guard in case we need to kill it later
>>

He was friendly in the books, too. He helped out Dennis Creevey when he fell in in Harry's third year.

Sit back and enjoy the ride. It's not like it's pulling us under...and besides, they send a large group of (likely) sugared up children who are stir crazy from the train across these waters each year. Falling in must be reasonably common and non lethal.

Attack the monster. We don't know what it is, so we better defend ourself.

kill the lake

if not then sit back and have a peacefull conversation with it

Giant squids are among the foremost allies of man and I'm both shocked and horrified that any would consider attacking them.
>>
>>27027349
>Sit back and enjoy the ride. It's not dragging you down into its maw to be devoured, is it now?

SURELY they wouldn't keep a hostile kraken in the same lake they make the entire first year class take a boat trip over on their first day, right?

That just don't make any sense.
>>
>>27027446
>>27027468
It seems like a perfectly reasonable test for a magus. If they can't make it across the lake with everything provided, they clearly don't deserve to stay.
>>
>>27027349
>sit back and enjoy the ride
getting picked up and put back in our boat is a pretty fair way to repair the reputation we just screwed up
>>
>>27027468
dude this is hogwart, look at the forest of doom thats right out back

still vote for relaxing
>>
>>27027349
>>Sit back and enjoy the ride. It's not dragging you down into its maw to be devoured, is it now?
>Stay on guard nonetheless, because that's the magusly thing to do.
Probably isn't the first time a student has fallen off the boat, and from what we know about these sorts of wizards, they probably would've thought it'd be a good idea to put a helpful giant squid in the lake to help fallen students rather than, y'know, just having the boats stop. Like a reasonable person would've.

Though I guess there's something to be said for going with the over-the-top cool way of handling things as well.

...but that said, they have to be feeding the squid something, don't they? Time to hope it's not a randomly selected pool of school applicants.
>>
>>27027508
Something just occurred to me.

If first year students being eaten by the squid was a thing that happened, Hermione would have been all like "NO HARRY WATCH OUT FOR THE GIANT MAN-EATING SQUID, I READ ABOUT THIS IN MY BOOKS!"

Unless she just failed to mention it specifically to set up a situation where Kaleido-Pink needs to rescue us.

Oh god... she's going to blast the squid on magical girl reflex isn't she?
>>
>>27027545
if she does i vote we kill the baton. no one fucks with our (possibly) snake buddies
>>
Pissing off the owner of the tentacle isn't necessarily a good idea if it's not attacking you.
>>
>>27027735
It's grappling us, and thereby provoking and Attack of Opportunity. I intend to take it up on that offer.
>>
>>27027760
maybe it just lonely? maybe ol hagrid forgot he was there?
>>
>>27027806
or maybe we get moar waifus in our harem
>>
>>27027806
We know nothing about the squid or the Hagrid. This is clearly an attack on our person.

"TTTHHHEEERRREEE'SSS AAALLLWWWAAAYYYSSS OOONNNEEE IIISSSNNN'TTT TTTHHHEEERRREEE???"

The voice you hear is long and drawn out, a deep and gutteral blubber that sounds like some six foot seven bass singer was speaking into a series of bubbly tubes. From what you can tell from its tone, it is halway split between amused and aggravated, like a parent or a sitter woke up in the morning to see the children in their care doing something as stupid as it is adorable. The voice is oddly reassuring, and you do hope that whatever spoke was the creature that currently has a grip on you.

"Um, hello?!" You call out.

"OOOHHH, TTTHHHAAATTT'SSS NNNEEEWWW!" The voice seems excited. "III'VVVEEE NNNEEEVVVEEERRR MMMEEETTT OOONNNEEE WWWHHHOOO CCCOOOUUULLLDDD TTTAAALLLKKK BBBAAACCCKKK BBBEEEFFFOOORRREEE! WWWHHHAAATTT'SSS YYYOOOUUURRR NNNAAAMMMEEE LLLIIITTTLLLEEE BBBRRROOOSSSEEEPPPHHH?"

You see something rise from the deeps. Cthulhoid, a Kraken, a beast that belongs a thousand thousand leagues below the surfave of the ocean. Two onyx glinting eyes belying an alien and unknowable intelligence a thousand years old, a chittering beak-maw speaking in a black tongue that your gift of Parseltongue can barely make sense of. It opens, and beneath its words you hear a song-call of ten thousand thousand thousand burning souls and the consumption of this world by the uncaring entropic nothingness.

You call out to it, a point of light shining against the darkness. It pitch and florid tentacles pass you from one to another as you speak, moving you in some non-euclidean pattern that does not actually bend the fabric of space and time. But oh boy would it be cool if it did.

"Umm! Harry! My name is Harry! Harry James Potter!"

>My field! It is too long!
>>
>>27027878
It's eyes blink once. In this blink, you see the fires of creation, reflected glories of an age long past. A more perfect time, before Man degenerated into this pale shadow of its species, save for a fragmented handful of the old clans that struggled against their decay.

Okay, now I'm thinking this isn't actually Parseltongue and is something else entirely, that also lets us talk to snakes.

Anyway.

>>A pleasure! Though, would you terribly mind putting me down?

And be sure to thank him and promise to come out to the lake every once in a while to chat.

>>27027886
>A pleasure! Though, would you terribly mind putting me down?

We can only barely understand it because it is only barely related to the tongues we speak; we're probably still speaking Parseltongue.

Also, we've found yet another reason to have taken Space way back when.

its really about if the characters would actually be up for it and it not just forced. in this case while illya may joke like she does, she would actualy be apart of a harem, we are to high maintenece for her to look at others. she would be down for a threesome later in life though

===TEACH ME TONKS-SENPAI===

"Tonks-senpai, Tonks-senpai!" You run into the room, tripping over the wire of Tonks-Senpai's controller, disconnecting it from her favorite video game. "So are Krakens actually a type of snake? Huh? Huh?"

"Ohohoho~!" Tonks-Senpai replies mischeviously, the malicious glint in her eyes not at all related to the fact that you broke her SNES. "That's a very good question, Anon-kun! Unfortunately, the answer is rather complex, and full of Nasu-type conceptual bullshittery!"

"But what does that have to do with anything?" You ask, bamboozled by the apparent non-sequitir. "They're conceptually a snake?"

"No! But they are conceptually a Dragon!" Tonks explains patiently to her thick skulled student. "You see, Dragons - often known as Wyrms - are related to snakes on a conceptual level. Many of their roots - especially their reputation for evil and their association with Satan - are born from the myth of the Snake of Eden! Krakens, conceptually, are the dragons of the seas. Where Parseltongues can understand a Dragon like an American talking to a Brit, a Parseltongue can understand a kraken like an American talking to an english speaker from china!"

True, but if Parseltongue worked on HP dragons, that one challenge of the Triwizard Tournament would have gone a lot differently. Also the breaking of Gringotts in the last book.

Watch, he tries to pull the ritual spell at the end of Goblet of Fire and then AK's us, only for the spell to still *DO* nothing to us.
