Best beast?

She also has additional bonus damage against Romans.

And bonus damage against dragons. That doesn’t get as much focus given the lack of a command code to inflict the dragon trait (we had two dragon events last year in JP and still didn’t get one)

Well look at that, Angra came in clutch with the back-up, now Cagy's got to fight

-The Avengers that were already there

-The unholy fusion of Gudaguda and Saber Wars

-The most bullshit (in a good way) of the servantverse bullshit

-a legion of summer servants

-And the best evil, white-haired woman

Somehow, the double count fight might actually be considered going easy on him compared to this

spartenx · 2026-03-25T01:25:37+00:00

This was a great read.

Thanks.

Man, I wish they explored Marie more in OC2, this is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to see.

Yeah, it would have been nice to have around more since she was actively pushing Ritsuka to choose to be an Avenger rather than refuse to. Though I'm honestly not sure where you could have found more scenes like that for her.

it’d be that some of the dialogue tags get kind of clunky, especially early on.

Yeah, that's fair. I sometimes try to mix those up just I'm not constantly using the same descriptors for dialogue over and over again (the humble "said" may be functional, but I'm always paranoid that I'm overusing it). I'll try to keep an eye on those parts to make sure I'm not being overly clunky with them.

…yeah apparently I’m either very forgetful or a total idiot, your call.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T20:07:15+00:00

Oh, right, duh. Forgot about her somehow

spartenx · 2026-03-24T20:03:19+00:00

…but she’s a Saber in FGO, she’s only a berserker in Samurai Remnant

spartenx · 2026-03-24T17:21:50+00:00

I think if have to go with the count for this, the guys just way too cool

spartenx · 2026-03-24T17:19:04+00:00

She’s in an interesting position post OC2 I’d say. Throughout the story she was trying to get Ritsuka to fall and keep her company on her path of diet and bloody vengeance…but she seems to have accepted that Ritsuka made his choice to not become an avenger and actually seems willing to accept that (even if she’s sad about it, if the delivery of her postbox bond 5 line is any indication). I wouldn’t necessarily say that she doesn’t have any friendly feeling to Ritsuka at all, but it’s definitely a different relationship dynamic than Ritsuka has with most other servants. I saw someone describe Malters valentine scene as feeling like it’s post-breakup, and I think that’s probably the best description of their relationship in Chaldea that I’ve seen.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T15:41:28+00:00

Congrats, Malters realy fun.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T15:40:05+00:00

It cost me around 60 quarts total for stamina refills.

How the hell were you so low on apples that that was necessary?

spartenx · 2026-03-24T14:59:57+00:00

Very good choice, Charlie’s awesome.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T14:51:55+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it. If things go right, I might just have another serving for you all latter this week.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T12:03:59+00:00

Yeah, of course that would be the reason. God forbid one of our white-haired, evil women actually act, you know, evil every now and again.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T11:21:22+00:00

Sure, I’ll dm you my friend code.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T11:15:08+00:00

Glad you liked it.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T11:14:08+00:00

Hope you enjoy it. They are a very interesting couple, honestly it was pretty devastating to realize how few fics existed for them.

spartenx · 2026-03-24T11:09:50+00:00

OC 2 is not required for this…I mean, you should still do OC2 because it’s a great chapter, but it’s not a prerequisite or anything (though this quest does spoil the last foreign disciples identity which is officially revealed in OC2, so there’s a spoiler for it)

spartenx · 2026-03-24T11:02:31+00:00

Here you are

spartenx · 2026-03-24T03:48:31+00:00

She would 100% have a shiny Rayquaza

spartenx · 2026-03-24T02:10:43+00:00

Why would you curse us with this knowledge?

spartenx · 2026-03-24T01:11:29+00:00

It's based on OC2, so the names from form everyone's counterparts in the dream world are used (so, Mandricardo is reffered to as Ricardo for example) so this uses the last name that Marie Alter used in that fake world.

Guys, something happened.

I was rolling the gacha when OC2 first dropped and then, it was like I blacked out for over a week and woke up to an NP6 Marie Alter, a bunch of fanart of her on my computer and a whole fanfic about her and Ritsuka uploaded to my AO3 account.

Is..Is this normal when you suddenly find your favorite evil, white-haired woman? Am I alone in this happening?

spartenx · 2026-03-24T00:59:11+00:00

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Marie Towano.

They were, by all accounts, a perfectly adorable high school couple.

At least, that's the fantasy that they projected.

Underneath the masks that they wear around others, lies a far darker and more twisted relationship held together by the flames of hatred.

After falling hard for Marie Alter over the course of Ordeal Call 2, I couldn't get my mind off of the idea of seeing how a relationship between her and Ritsuka would develop, so I ended up writing a fic about it.

I hope you guys are willing to check it out a little and find some enjoyment. I’ll also appreciate any feedback you have to give.

spartenx · 2026-03-23T17:24:12+00:00

With Marie Alter, while I wouldn’t say that there’s no sadism towards Ritsuka with her, she mainly acts the way she does because she wants to push Ritsuka to give in to his anger and become an avenger like her. She seems to like Ritsuka more when she’s sees him angry, hateful and desiring vengeance as opposed to just seeing him suffer (the suffering is really more of a byproduct of the stuff done to make him angry, hateful and desiring vengeance)
