who wants a fate AU

[miraculess]

I have no idea what I'm doing here \o/

edit: I NOW HAVE A SLIGHT IDEA WHAT I'M DOING HERE she's summonable as either Berserker or Assassin, pick your poison. Berserker is mostly mute but not too crazy (unless you count nearly compulsive defiance against everything) and stupid OP if you can power her; Assassin is less unpredictable but mouthy as fuck and nowhere near as strong.

[ she makes a low growling grumble in the back of her throat at his obvious disappointment, almost bestial and clearly unhappy at his reception. he could do worse that politeness, though; after a few more moments of that measuring glare she dips her head as well, not breaking eye contact ]

[pathing]

[hhhhhgh okay sieg, get your shit together.] ...I'm sorry. This can't be a good reception. [he straightens, looking her over searchingly, hunting for something familiar. if he himself was the catalyst... maybe it wasn't that his nature influenced Siegfried, but that his nature influenced someone else's essence within him. or that instead he summoned someone like himself.] You would be... berserker?

[miraculess]

[ there's nothing familiar at first glance, but under his gaze she shifts slightly, resulting in a blatantly mechanical creaking noise like rusty gears. even if that weren't enough, there's something unsettling about even that little movement. ]

... Yes.

[pathing]

...Do you have a name? [not "what is your name", but something a lot more knowing, and he takes that discomfort in stride.]

[miraculess]

[ doesn't quite startle, but visibly has to recalibrate her opinion of the situation ]

No.

[pathing]

[lets out a careful breath.] I see. Do you want one?

[miraculess]

[ presses her lips together and shakes her head, expression too-carefully blank. ]

[pathing]

[he nods, taking that without even a moment of hesitation.] Right. Then I will call you Berserker. I... [he pauses, debating if that's even relevant or something she wants to know, but... he is not ashamed of his name.] I go by Sieg.

[miraculess]

[ frown's back. on the other hand— ]

"Victory?"

[ ...looks like she was just thinking. ]

[pathing]

[looks embarrassed...] That's- ah, not technically? I knew what it meant when I chose it, but it was more supposed to honor the man who gave me his heart... [that sounds really gay honey]

[miraculess]

[ WRINKLES HER NOSE RIGHT UP with a huffy sigh ]

[pathing]

He's the reason I still live and the reason you're here. [NOT TAKING SHIT ABOUT SIEGFRIED]

[miraculess]

[ good for him and for you :| ]

[pathing]

[DISGRUNTLED STANNING FACE INTENSIFIES]

[miraculess]

[ BITTER DEAD EYES CONTINUE ]

[pathing]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[miraculess]

[ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[pathing]

[ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[miraculess]

[ oh, for Hell's sake.

huffing again, and then stepping out of the circle to reach toward him—

and pat him on the head, once, before fading into sparkles and vanishing. it's difficult to keep up a grouchy staring contest with someone you can no longer see. ]

[pathing]

[ . . . what the fuck just happened ]

[miraculess]

[ have you never been patted, son ]

[pathing]

[about that no astolfo probably patted him at some point but he's not USED to it] Berserker? [it does seem he was startled straight out of his stubborn, though]

[miraculess]

[ it's a moment before she pops back in DIRECTLY BEHIND HIM ]

Hmm?

[pathing]

[SPOOKS REALLY HARD and whips around with. nearly the reflexes of a heroic spirit?] -Ah. Hello.

[miraculess]

[ tilts her head to one side with the mildest expression possible as she looks down at him ]
