❚ 001 (video)

[Unlike a majority of you non-hipster Servants, Saber here doesn't come from post-canon or post-death or any of that--no, he was in the middle of something VERY, VERY IMPORTANT like SAVING MY MASTER'S LIFE important. So aside from suddenly waking up here being 1) very strange and 2) very unexpected it is also 3) VERY UNWANTED. Technology was never his forte but at this rate he needed information somehow.]

Assuming this will reach other people, I would like to request assistance. Specifically, where this city is and whatever transportation services there are here. [Since it sure didn't look like he'd be able to go back to where he was by foot and whatnot.] I apologize for the curtness of this message, but I'm afraid I've something very important that I have to do.

[He pauses, a difficult sort of expression on his face, but... well he'd feel bad if he didn't at least give out his name since he's asking for help, even if it probably isn't that good of an idea when he has no idea what's going on. But he's a knight okok, GOTTA BE POLITE.] My name is Saber, and thank you for your time.

[ANOTHER Saber?]

I'm afraid there's no way back, if that is what you're looking for.
croibhristeoir: (this is my unanswered prayer)

If there is an exit, no one knows where to find it yet.

You said your name was Saber? ...tell me, which version of the Holy Grail War are you from?
croibhristeoir: (steady but i'm starting to shake)

[personal profile] croibhristeoir 2012-01-16 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
The world itself is of considerable size, but it is not the world any of us came from. To put it simply, consider it as Second Magic at work and we're all in a foreign parallel world.

Curiosity, nothing more. I certainly have no interest in continuing the war here. If it would put your mind at ease regarding my intentions, then I will tell you I was the lancer of the fourth war--my name is Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.
croibhristeoir: (look into my eyes and i'll own you)

[personal profile] croibhristeoir 2012-01-16 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, yes.

[He laughed at that, looking embarrassed and waving a hand dismissively.]

Ah, please. There are many heroes here far more deserving of praise than I. And I discarded the name of Lancer some time ago--my war has long since ended, and I prefer my true name to that of my class.
croibhristeoir: (do you see what you dream)

[personal profile] croibhristeoir 2012-01-16 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Dumbass, weren't you just talking about Second Magic and alternate universes and shit?]

[Like, not even two minutes ago?]
croibhristeoir: (guess I let you get the best of me)

7/9 clearly i am off my rocker

My apologies, but...that's not possible. Or it shouldn't be possible. I would not go so far as to call you a liar, but circumstances as I know them have given that name to another.

[In other words, SOMETHING IS OFF HERE.]

I know not what kind of world you must come from, but if what you say is indeed fact then it is not possible we are from the same reality.
croibhristeoir: (can't believe you were the one)

[personal profile] croibhristeoir 2012-01-16 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
But I warn you now. I know the one that is called Arthur Pendragon, and if it should come to light that your declaration is false then I give you my word this is not an offense that shall go unpunished.

My loyalty lies with that knight and that knight alone. I will not have their name so casually thrown around, and I would see to it that this confusion is resolved to whatever end.
croibhristeoir: (together we can take the world apart)

ilu moar

I am not going to argue over the matter of your identity--frankly, after all I've seen here I would not be shocked if you are in fact Arthur Pendragon in another world. it's not my place to question things I can't entirely comprehend.

But in my reality, Arturia is the knight I have fought both with and against. Having seen her and her Noble Phantasm in combat, I can say without even a trace of doubt that she is absolutely who she says.

...honestly, this is just ridiculous enough that I might believe it.

I'm afraid it'll only get stranger from here. For one thing, I'm fairly certain we have enough Servants in this city for several wars.

For another, this city itself is far from normal--though I feel saying that may well be stating the obvious.

Starting at midnight every night, there's an hour in which the city visibly distorts and becomes overrun with creatures called Shadows.

[Deadpan.]

In place of our usual abilities, those of us brought here are given the power to summon a Persona. They seem to vary wildly between individuals, but they are a useful form of assistance in fighting. My own takes the name of a knight from my home country, but I've seen several different ones.
