This can't possibly be a good idea

Yes, teach him about The Traveler

Somewhere on deck, red alert sirens start wailing in Archer's head but he can't tell it apart from the spell based anxiety attack.

Why you people are determined to nudge Kirei into being his mullet self, Archer just doesn’t know

Tiernan just wants to live vicariously through Kirei

everyone thinks itd be funny to let kirei be free and be himself, but they havent actually had to deal with him when he's Like That.

He can't be totally evil, so why not make someone else act totally evil?

once they fuck around and find out, there might be some Regrets

you cant make Kirei totally evil, he already is. he just doesnt normally act on it

... Not from Tiernan, but that's one part bc he won't be around long enough, and another part bc he would never regret Kirei being Kirei

Tik-Tok if he'd gotten to read the part of Kirei's app about the future and torching cities: yknow I was so fucking close to getting the nuclear coes

Mine tho yes. Jamil would be like "oh come on"

*codes

idk Gilgamesh thought it was funny too but in one route he got Shinji as a Master

Haha, if you want, we can say his file mentioned that he uses a magical device to wish for destruction in another timeline. Kirei knows about it because Archer told him on the Barge! shipoftheseus

How to put this
Tiernan is devoted enough to his deity that he has a feat to give him a cleric domain's spells.
He has a religious obligation to shake up status quos.

Tiernan dated Literal Satan in another universe

Obligatory Kirei happinessKotomine Kirei's Wish

on the one hand I feel strongly that files would only ever include the timeline of that version, on the other hand it does seem like the kind of wild shit that the deacon would do that the admiral wouldn't

..... Tiernan did, in fact, date Literal Satan in another universe and they were very much in love.

overall though probably best not

onemuon: counter argument- Gil had to put up with Shinji but he DID get to impale him with his hand

Maybe Kirei isn't so evil after all!

The thing to always remember about Tiernan is that at his core, his nature is honestly closer to Chaotic Evil. But he has a surprisingly solid capacity for love and loyalty, and so he works very hard at being Chaotic Neutral in his lifestyle.

Yeah, which makes popcorning him and Kirei so much fun

So him and Kirei is like "I'm you but with the ability to form meaningful attachments."

/ finally pries away from Akira and tags Kirei

I'm not sure if Tiernan is exactly the wrong person or exactly the right person to try to teach Kirei about making your actions proportionate.

Porque no los dos?

Possible given who we're talking about

lol, kirei is already a machine with the cost/benefit analysis and doing crazy shit for a goal. the same as kiritsugu. he just doesnt actually have a greater reason for doing any of it. its just blind flailing to try and "fix himself" and inevitably just makes him emptier and emptier.

he doesnt understand "doing evil for the lulz" yet

/pats him

Oh, we get to go into Tiernan's views on meaning. That'll be fun.
