Orion was confused. He got a key. A platinum key. And he was not a Celestial Mage. The problem therefore was the fact that he did not know what to do with the said key. He had seen Celestial Mages use their spell to summon the supposed spirit, but Orion had no clue what to do at all. He was lost. Very lost. And so he just sat there inside the guild hall, by himself, staring at the key.
"Chalice" Orion muttered. That's all he remembered about that day. A chalice. A man coming out of it. A kiss. A deadly kiss in fact. And then the monster was dead. He took credit, of course, since he needed the money anyway. The great question still remained, "How do I use this thing?"
He remembered something. A mage he fought before had a key as well. He tried his best to remember how the man had utilized the key. "Okay, here goes nothing. Open the Gate of...Chalice!"
He closed his eyes, unsure of what might happen. And so he waited.

They wondered when Orion would summon them. Chalice was a very patient spirit, but for some reason he had been quite eager for the man to finally summon him. Even without the use of the key, Chalice Crater had been watching him every now and then, peeking through the gaps in the stars to see snippets of what Orion was up to. Mainly drinking, sleeping, and drinking. They half wondered if the man had totally forgotten about the celestial key. But it seemed not. Orion waved the key about like a magic wand, and chanted some utter nonsense to summon Chalice. It was the wrong chant, but a chant nonetheless, it appeared he had significant enough magic to drag the spirit from the sky and into this... Humble abode. "Master." His words echoed as he stepped out of a golden light, a young man dressed in a smart leather suit (which was an improvement from the last time they met). The spirit was quite tall, about the same height as Orion, and although he wasn't as stocky and muscular as the god slayer, Chalice was definitely more muscular than most. The spirit quickly knelt down on one knee, with his head facing the ground. "I am glad you summoned me, I've been waiting to see you again." They then stood up, holding a hand across his chest. "I am Chalice, The Crater Spirit. I am forever in your debt. One again, I thank you for saving me."

Orion looked at the man he summoned, and had to admire the way he dressed. Much better than himself, that was for sure. While Orion tends to wear things that were the most practical, this man seemed to be wearing something akin to a suit that was leather, if he was correct with his guess.
"Uhhh...yeah, been waiting to meet you as well," Orion started, although his face squirmed, "And none of this master stuff. My name is Orion." The god slayer grinned at the celestial spirit he had summoned, "Nice to meet you, Chalice."
The man quirked an eyebrow, wanting to ask the question he had been dreading to ask, "So, did I use the right summoning line? Or was it supposed to be different?" He really wasn't sure if he did it right, since he had to wait a bit before the spirit fully appeared. All he knew was that he fed the key his magic, and things happened.

"Do you not like it when I call you master?" Chalice was shocked, all people in posession of his key in the past had made sure he addressed them as such. It would definitely be a bad habit to break, "O- Of course... Orion."Well that just felt totally wrong to say. "Ah, the summoning line." Orion closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as if to refrain himself from something. But the truth is, he didn't hold anything back. He was blunt and direct, not in a nasty way, but he preferred to keep things clear and hated beating around the bush or lying about things. Suddenly, that submissive 'servant' persona he had melted away as he became a bit more confident. "The line was all wrong. Yes, The Crater constellation is indeed a cup of sorts. But it's properly announced 'Open, gate of the holy chalice, Crater.'" Chalice held his finger up like a lecturer, which was weird since he looked younger than Orion. But he didn't stop there, oh no. "Also, you drink too much. I lost count the other day... And your sleeping patterns are all over the place, you must maintain a consistent bed time in order to stay at peak performance." He began counting on his fingers all the things he had noticed about Orion, listing them off one by one. Eventually it just became concerned mumbling more than anything, but it was clear Chalice was concerned for his new master. Orion Prima

Orion held up his hand, "Orion is perfect, I'm nobody's master." The thought of being a master was just a bit too odd for the mage. He was Orion, the god slayer, the god of destruction, but not a master. Maybe one day he'd think about stealing the hat from Koji. But for now, he's glad to be just Orion. "Especially not among friends!" He quickly added with a grin.
"Open, gate of the holy chalice, Crater. Hm..." Orion will try to remember that. His memory was bad. Really bad.
And then the spirit went on and on about his habits. Truthfully, he had horrid habits. He drank too much, slept too little, and never really ate properly. "Yeah, yeah, wait!" Orion held his hand up again, "Were you spying on me?" That was a bit weird. In fact, there was another question he had in mind that's been boggling him.
"Actually, I need to ask, what's going to happen now? Like, are you my spirit or something? Because really, I'm no Celestial Mage so..." Orion rambled, but he stopped himself. His thought process had been too fast for his normal brain function, and it felt weird to the man. So, he did the next best thing and rank a whole Stein of beer.

Chalice slowly stopped his list when Orion protested, and would look up with confusion. "Spying? Oh goodness no! I was just observing you every now and then, did you also know that you sleep with your mouth open? I saw you eat two spiders the other night, you must stop doing that. Besides, it's only spying if you don't know about it. And now I'm telling you." Chalice blinked a few times in silence as Orion continued talking, "What's going to happen? Well, I-" Chalice paused, looking down and tapping his chin, " I gave you my key, for you to use. It's not like you have to specialise in the same magic celestial mages use, they just have other ways of unlocking certain spirit's potential."Chalice pointed down to the platinum key in Orion's hand, "Besides, Master, you still managed to summon me anyway. Just think of me as an ally to help you. You humans have ways of contacting friends for help with letters or lacrima, I just require a key. Tis all."Orion Prima

Orion stared at the man for a long time. He just stared as Chalice dictated to him what he does on a day to day basis. He narrated the little things too, some of which Orion did not know, or really did not need to know. Spiders?! "Uhhh...you know...that definitely sounds like spying since you didn't tell me you were doing it as you were doing it..." Orion scratched his head in confusion.
Then it came to the discussion of the key, "Okay, you are my ally. I like that." He was not a Celestial Mage per say, but then he could use a buddy during a mission. Even better since this spirit seemed to be quite independent, and very strong...if what happened during his mission was taken into consideration.
"Say, what do you do anyway?" Orion knew at least that Celestial Spirits had specialties, "I mean, I hope your powers do not involve kissing enemies to death. I appreciate it, but it must be bad for your hygiene..." It was true. Some enemies didn't shower. Some enemies were monsters who never even knew what a shower was.

"It's against the rules to just pop down here without a proper summon, I can't do that every time I check in on you." He waved a hand in dismissal, shaking his head as if Orion was the weird one. "What do I do? Oh it's quite simple, when I cast certain spells, I just look into another plane of existence, and see the flow of ethernano all around us. With that, I can alter the magical components of each particle, ionising them, enhancing them, combust them etcetera." Chalice then elaborated further on how some of his spells work, it was all very scientific, and he used big complicated words that only old scholars would understand. Sadly, he was yet to discover how much of an oaf Orion was. When he stopped, he would look up at Orion and smile, "Sadly, I used up every ounce of my magical power during that fight against Musca. Now, the most I can do for now is provide healing support when you are injured. I do hope you summon me enough to allow me to grow and flourish alongside you though, Master."Orion Prima
