First Petal [video]

[The video clicks on, revealing a curious-looking purple-haired girl. She has the normal confused air about her that most newbies had, but she doesn't seem to be outright panicking.]

Um, hello... if there's anyone listening, I have a few questions I'd like to ask. [A pause. She hopes that would be enough to get someone's attention.] I'm not sure how I got here... I heard an explanation before, but I'm still a little confused, so if someone could help me out, that would be great. [She looks a little sheepish at that. She saw the other people, wandering around and looking just as confused as she did; they're probably using this device for the same reason she is now.] I'm sorry if a lot of people are asking this. And thank you in advance. I really do appreciate all your help.

[She moves to turn off the feed, but pauses.] There are... a lot of different people here, aren't there? [Her smile fades a little.] Can someone tell me... do the names 'Shirou Emiya', 'Rin Tohsaka', or 'Rider' sound familiar?

[ While Saber isn't in the best mental state these days, she'll take a moment to check the network. This girl... she was familiar - that one that was always at the Emiya house, wasn't she? ]

That they do. [ Have one trying-as-hard-as-she-can-to-look-valiant, heartbroken Saber responding! ] Of the ones listed, only Shirou is here. Should he fail to answer your call, I will seek him out in your place.

[Oh

Oh

This... this is awkward. And somewhat uncomfortable. Sakura had mostly come to terms with everything that had happened during the Holy Grail War, but this... getting over this was something she couldn't do, due to... certain circumstances.]

Saber-san... is that really you?

Yes. Although you need be warned that there is another who shares my face within this realm. [ Spoken as though it were a casual thing. ] We have our distinct differences, so I am certain you need not worry about mistaking one for the other.

Oh? What a chance to see that you have arrived here, nurse.

[Oh hey it's the other Saber! Good thing the one she knows warned her beforehand. But... hold on, she knows her?]

"Nurse"? I'm sorry, I think you have me confused with someone else.

[ She opens her mouth to say something, but takes a moment to stare critically at Sakura. ]

... Perhaps. Perhaps not. Though your hair is much shorter than before, I know you are Sakura Matou.

I have no idea what's going on! That explanation was ridiculous, wasn't it!? I don't understand how they expect us to get anything!

[Good thing Sakura is... well. Sakura. She rolls with those questions pretty easily.]

I don't understand either... but it seems like there are people who have been here longer than us. I'm sure they can help.

[Asuka grumbles a little]

Well, no one's seemed very helpful to me yet... how did you get here?

[Okay. So he doesn't get why her hair looks a little longer. He doesn't get why she mentioned Rin. He doesn't get how she knows about Rider. But none of that is important for the first minute or so.]

S...Sakura?!

[Never would a psyduck emote be more appropriate, eh Shirou?

Sakura smiles, her face lighting up in a way Shirou has likely ever seen before.]

Senpai! [She doesn't seem that surprised, but there's still a bit of relief on her face when she sees him.] I'm sorry if this sounds selfish, but... I'm glad you're here.

Huh? You...you are?

[Shirou, on the other hand, looks politely confused.]

And you don't seem at all fazed by this, either.

Haaaaaaa... What is with girls showing up here and apologizing for asking for information? You don't apologize for asking for directions or what's going on when there's a panic, do you?

I was apologizing because I was afraid of being repetitive. There seemed to be a lot of people looking confused when I first walked outside...

Ah? Well that's the time you gotta take some initiative and make a unique question amidst them all!

..."Shiro"? A samurai?

Oh, no... [But he is a swordfighter! That's close, right.] He's... someone very important to me. I just wanted to know if he got dragged here too.

Uu-, Maria has a question.. [ She even raises her hand a little as she asks about it. ]

Isn't 'Rider' someone who rides something, maybe?

[Aww, what a cute kid...]

Yes, she does that. She has another name, but that's what everyone calls her.

The initial explanation isn't particularly helpful, is it? Nobody knows quite how we got here yet, unfortunately. People have been looking into it, but it seems as though there hasn't been much headway.

I see... [It's not very good news, but it's better than being kept in the dark.]

Do you know how long this has been going on, sir? A friend said he's been here for nineteen months...

Yeah, I know all three of 'em. [Says the guy with a Squirtle sitting on his head.]

You a friend of theirs, kid?

Edited 2012-03-06 00:42 (UTC)

[Well shit

As if Saber being here wasn't torture on her enough. Another source of her guilt...]

Uh-huh. [She looks a little unsure as she speaks up. What's up with that?] Rin is my sister, and Shirou is... someone very important to me.

[She pauses. The Holy Grail War is over, at least where she's coming from. It shouldn't hurt to say it, but... that caution is still there.

Still. She wants to atone for what she did, even if he didn't know it was her that killed him. And the first step in doing that is to tell him who she really is.]

Rider is my Servant.

It's not her name! It's her class. [That doesn't help much, but goshdarnit she doesn't want anyone saying mean things about her wonderful Servant. >( ] She has a real name.
