24th Resurrection - Tic Tic Boom

[Are you paying attention today, Mayfield? I hope so, or you might accidentally get blown up.

Theo's out on the town, holding an old and faded leather-bound book in one hand, and gesturing with the other. He has a flat expression while he mumbles some words in Greek, casting some spells. He's out today practicing some offensive magic spells, since Marisa was asking him with help on them the other day, he figures he should practice. He wasn't very strong with attack spells, but what else did he have to do in this boring town besides practice on things around town?

Mayfield, you're being treated to small explosions all over town. There's a rush of air and a spark, and things are goin' kaboom! Your car, your shrubs, lampposts, mail boxes, dog houses, whatever. But, his aim and his casting of such spells is a bit off... which might have to do with the fact that, as usual lately, he's a bit drunk.

What else has he got to do in all his boredom when half the people in town he used to talk to now avoid him like the plague, and one of the last people who did now seems droned permanently? It was weird enough having Shina's drone call him "Mr. Crawford", let alone seeing her acting so vapid and NOT drinking tea...

Want to stop him? Join in on the fun? He may not even acknowledge you, and really doesn't give a rat's ass if he gets droned.]

That's right. Aren't you a summon? 'S what you do. Could you turn down their orders even if you wanted to?

Usually, it's my call whether I follow orders or not... but a Master gets three command spells. Spells that allow them to give an absolute order than cannot be resisted.

The threat that those spells represent more or less forces Servants to do as their Masters order.

Sounds about right. Never studied summons much. Got a few books on it though. Maybe I should brush up on that next.

I suppose I should be thankful to it for allowing me to exist, but can't say I'm a huge fan of it.

Fair enough.

[He finishes off his beer, throws the can up and attempts to cast a spell on it before it hits the ground. He doesn't quite make it that fast, and the blast sends the little can skittering down the street.]

Hnn. Need to work on my timing.

Ha, that'd make for a good drinking game.

Or something.

Yeah, but it looks like I need more practice.
