[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.

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.

rolls around in all the love

[A sigh, but in good-nature rather than the one before.] I guess I really shouldn't be surprised by something like this either. The War itself, being taken here, and now the discovery of a female King Arthur--yeah, everything's been crazy from the beginning.

Well, I can't argue with that then. If she's the one you know, then she's the one you know; I certainly don't have the power to change that.

Haha, tell me about it. I haven't had a day this bizarre in a long while.

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.

[knightking]

If a city bringing someone across the world and through time wasn't considered strange already, then that definitely is. But alright, besides the obvious and the fact that Servants are running around everywhere, what else should I know about?

[croibhristeoir]

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.

[knightking]

Midnight monsters called Shadows... alright then. [Weird, but if he was rolling with this much he might as well roll with all of it.]

A Persona? [Interesting name their tbh... BUT ANYWAYS.] I guess assistance of any kind would be helpful, but how are they summoned? I'm not exactly part of the Caster class for a reason, after all.
