[video] Caster and Berserker AMA
From: Cú Chulainn
Posted: 9th April
[ The video starts with the relaxing and refreshing (oh how refreshing it is) view of the evening Hawaiian beach. A moment after Caster comes into the picture- clad in gaudy Hawaiian shirt, hair let loose like usual. There might be a glimpse of few beer cans around, well- vacations right? ]
Yo! Nothing like vacations to finally bring an issue up, eh? See- it seems that there’s been plenty of “mistaken identity” cases recently. Once, twice it might happen, but any more times and some people might find it annoying.
[ That’s where Caster drags into picture Berserker. And since he is also clad in a Hawaiian shirt (as opposed to usual spiky armor), with his mullet let loose, the resemblance between the two is now incredibly more uncanny. Of course few “spot the difference” make it easier to tell them apart. Berserker’s red face tattoos for one. Caster’s hair appears to be a shade lighter. Not to mention Berserker seems to be kind of bulkier build. Still, they could be twins. ]
See, my fellow here, Berserker, he finds it very annoying. [ Emphasis on "very" ]
Just to remember: He’s not exactly me. I’m not exactly him! It’s really rude to mix people up. [ Caster is too amused to sound like he’s truly chastising anyone. ]
Rude and foolish. [ Berserker crosses his arms over his chest. Even in his ridiculous shirt, he’s still surly as ever. ] Now you’ve seen us together, you can stop confusing us.
[ His lip curls back to show sharp teeth, a strange smile. ]
We’re not twins...I’m feeling generous today. Ask us anything, just say which one you’re asking.
[ Nothing like volunteering someone for questioning! ]

There's one mythological-like explanation, except it actually happened, and then there's the edgier spiel that sounded like it could be the lyrics of a rock song. Both were heavy, in their own ways. Berserker's talk of being a king that just wanted a place to die..sounded all too familiar a story that brought up some feelings. But not the time for that.
While it gave her more questions than answers, it almost made sense now why those two were...how they are. The things they've seen, what they've had to do, what they were forced to be. She certainly didn't blame them for their hostility towards Medb, nor would she probably try to stop it should she appear. To be molded into someone just to serve another person's needs and desires was a pretty impossible thing to forgive. She could relate at least that much.
Give her a moment for all that information to load. It's probably obvious on her face that the wheels in her head are trying to turn. ]
Then..were you just one person before? And if..this Mebd person brought back Berserker, then how did you..? [ She looks at Caster. She needs a little more to understand the whole birds and the bees of how Servants are born. ]

We were never one person. We simply represent different pieces of the same Heroic Spirit. In reality, I could never exist. I am not a possibility of Cú Chulainn. I am an impossibility -- what could have happened if things were different. The "true" version of me...us...can be summoned as many classes. Berserker is a possibility, but not as I am.
The core of what makes "us" was corrupted at Medb's wish. That corruption is me. I am known as an "Alter" and I am not the only one like this. We shouldn't exist for any number of reasons, but something brought us into being...Usually by someone's wish on the Grail.
[ Berserker looks away again. ]
Is that any more clear?
