[ Disappointing as that may be, it does hint to other options to pursue in the future. There may yet be hope even if it will take time to uncover. ]

A specific ritual? What is it they were attempting to accomplish?

[anti_altruisms]

To turn the city using Chroma and invoking the power of the moons.

[ There's a lot of lore attached to this ritual, he's sure, but he could only get a summary during the event. ]

They use an interesting mix of magic and technology here, but I'm sure you've already noticed that.

[professorfreischutz]

Some type of... good harvest ritual, then.

[ For whatever value their Chroma can be harvested. If the people rely on it to survive, then there's likely similar rituals and parallels with other natural resources to the Prismals. ]

Yes, it's drawn my eye significantly. The merge between them would likely be considered totally sacrilegious in any universe resembling my own, but here it appears to have been their natural conclusion.

[ He moves to glance at the device on his wrist that had been imparted to him. It looks fairly technological at its core, but he can only imagine how the inner workings must be twisted and so much more complicated via magical tuning of some sort. ]

[anti_altruisms]

Something like that, yes.

[ To the other point, though, he lets out a quiet sigh. ]

I've yet to meet a mage who didn't have difficulty with technology, but I think it's more of a cultural issue.

[ Stuffy traditionalists who don't like change, etc. ]

In any case, they've done quite well with blending the two of them here. Whatever you're a Professor of, I'm sure there will be no lack of interesting material for you.

[professorfreischutz]

[ He laughs and nods, leans back against his coffin once more. ]

Yes! I'm beginning to see that. Although the more magical detours that these moons will bring won't be very welcome, for now I suppose it's a necessary evil.

You've been very helpful, Emiya. Thank you for that.

[anti_altruisms]

[ Archer shrugs. ]

Think nothing of it. It's nothing someone else couldn't have told you.

[ Information is currency, but it isn't really worth keeping to yourself if everybody knows about it. ]

Though I would request you not call me by that name in front of other people.

[professorfreischutz]

[ Exactly. No reason to keep secrets of something so well-known. ]

Ah, yes. Understandably. What shall I call you?

[anti_altruisms]

[ Now, that draws a faint, but entirely ironic smile from him. ]

There are some who've called me Nameless and others who've simply called me Archer so whichever you prefer of those is fine.

[ He doesn't really care that much; it's just funny to him that he's apparently this popular across space-time that he exists in so many iterations. ]

[professorfreischutz]

Haha! I believe I'll go with Archer!

[ Of course you would, you stupid fucking villain. Anything to stir up some trouble. ]

Although "Nameless" does certainly intrigue me. A story for another time?

[anti_altruisms]

Another time.

[ The Moon Cell is a whole other wrinkle that even he doesn't know much about yet. He's going to ask more about it, eventually; he just hasn't gotten around to it yet. ]

And you've left me with some food for thought so I have something to chew on for a while.

[professorfreischutz]

Well, you may look for me if you have any further questions. I'm not sure how much more I can answer, but then we'll at least both be in good company.

[ Smart people are pretty a'ight, after all. ]

[anti_altruisms]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

[ He'll just be on his way now. ]

Good luck to you.
