Maybe I'll ask him nicely.

[lights up!]

Since I'm still alive after your visit I'm sure he'll be interested in seeing me anyway.

[originalhipster]

[oh yes, that. laughs.]

You should apologise to him, you know.

[ticking]

I will. It was just in fun anyway. And I promised Misty I would send him to visit her.

[originalhipster]

If you're appropriately humble about the matter I'm sure that he won't mind that you still live. If he does, he can correct it himself.

[ticking]

He seems to hear humility a lot from me. [snort] Are you done protecting him then?

[originalhipster]

No, but I've developed a different interest in you.

[ticking]

Oh? What is it now? You saw what you wanted, didn't you?

[originalhipster]

Hmmm. There's a question, I think.

[ticking]

A question...?

[originalhipster]

Mhm. I have no interest in an immediate answer, though, you'll have to think it over.

[ticking]

If you don't tell me the question it might be a very long wait for an answer.

[originalhipster]

Very true.

[steps into Slick's personal space.]

You. And that crack in you. I'm interested in seeing where you go. Do you want to make a contract with me?

[ticking]

[i am super okay with you in my personal space

but also confused]

A contract? What sort?

[originalhipster]

It's simple enough. I am a Heroic Spirit, a servant summoned from the past to fight the battles of mortals. The contract works as follows. Your position would be to provide power and usually strategy . . . in return, you will be able to alter my path no less than three times. [holds up three fingers] Three absolute commands where your will can supersede my own.

Other Heroic Spirits tend to be more obedient to their masters at other times, but . . . [chuckle] my class doesn't tend toward that. How dull. But a contract is a contract. We could try to work together.

[ticking]

[=|aaa processssinnng was not expecting]

Hm... so basically you want a power boost from me and in exchange you'll risk that I might force you to do something... [handwave] unkingly?

[originalhipster]

[handwave]

It's a little more complex than that, but that's an aspect. I suggest you discuss it with Rin. She has held the position twice.

[ticking]

[who is Rin again 8|a?]

It sounds interesting. Why not? I'll agree.

[originalhipster]

Already?

[ticking]

Well, it's an odd request but it's simple enough at the heart of it. I don't see any reason to say no.

[originalhipster]

[hahaha ...]

There we have it, then. As I do not require summoning, being already here, we'll just need to seal the contract.

[ticking]

How does that work? I don't really do magic or anything, you know.

[originalhipster]

Hmmm ... you have power though, don't you?

[ticking]

You've seen it yourself.

[originalhipster]

Hmmm. I'm a unique case among Heroic Spirits, so all we need to do is link us. It's a verbal contract at heart, anyway.

[considers . . . then smirks] Give me strength, and I will protect you should you require it, should I choose to do so. I, Gilgamesh, King of Heroes, will be your sword, should I see fit. Tell me, are you the one who commands me?

[ticking]

[ugh gosh. hot and adorable and hilarious]

I doubt it. But for the sake of formality let's say yes.
