Week 1

[improbablenotimpossible]

thursday (after remembering that i should do this...)

[excavated]

[ In the early afternoon, Syaoran is going to actively seek out Ruler, primarily because he's a little curious about a few things, so where can he find him? ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He's been generally all over, but the most reliable place to find him this week was the Library, with almost a wall of books surrounding him, several of them opened, and he seems to be jumping from book to book, writing something down rather furiously.

However, once the door opens, he pokes his head up]

Hello?

[excavated]

I'm sorry, I'm not interrupting you, am I? [ Thankfully the library is one of Syaoran's normal locations, so heading here isn't exactly out of his way! ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He pushes back, hooking a finger to pull out a pocket watch, glancing at it's face before placing it back]

It's quite all right. It's nothing that's time sensitive, and it seems like I am about due for a break, is there something I can assist with?

[excavated]

It's probably a little personal, but I was actually a little curious. 'Ruler' isn't your actual name, right? I won't ask for your true name, but I was wondering if there was a reason behind the name that you're currently using.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Well I would have to explain it eventually.

[He leans back in his hair, hands pressed together]

"Ruler" is not my real name, that is right. The best way to describe it is that it is my 'class' designation.

[excavated]

'Class' designation...?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Servants like myself are summoned into different 'classes' base on our abilities and legends to fulfill specific roles in the ritual battle - for example, a man whose fame comes from the wielding of a magic sword will become a Saber, while a woman who can shoot a hole dead-center in shilling falling in mid-air would be an Archer.

Typically, in a normal ritual - there are seven, thee knight classes: Saber, Archer, Lancer, and Four Cavalry classes: Caster - which would be my normal class, Rider, Assassin, and Berserker.

[excavated]

I see...

[ He nods to himself, humming a little inquisitively as Ruler seems to explain. ]

And is there a particular reason to go by the class designation instead of your actual name?

[improbablenotimpossible]

While we can't be controlled by our names, because of who we are - knowing our names also means one knows all of our abilities - and weaknesses.

[excavated]

. . . I understand now. Thanks for answering my questions. If you want to ask me anything in return, you're welcome to it.

[improbablenotimpossible]

You're welcome.

[At the offer, he mulls over it some of his obvious questions had already been answered in either the initial meeting with the False Yuuko or their meeting on monday, but it's time to consider another line of questioning]

What is your impression of the one pretending to be Ms. Yuuko?

[excavated]

I feel that. . . there has to be some reason why she's impersonating Yuuko-san in the first place. To be honest, Watanuki would have something better to say since he knows her better than I do, but there's just some things about the way she talks that are different.

But I've pretty much spoken a lot about that. I don't have any strong impressions except for the fact that there's so much I don't understand. Why they took her name and appearance. If they were just simply trying to obscure their identity, it didn't have to be her.

As for her, herself... I don't trust her, or what they're trying to do.
