[See Saber.

See Saber, dressed with painfully plain clothes, checking out a number of fabrics in what looks like a textiles' store.]

Admittedly, I didn't expect to receive as many requests for a Valentine's oriented party. And while I had not trouble when it came to inform myself about the whereabouts of such celebration... [She takes a little pause to let her awesomeness sink in.] People are weird in this time and age!

[And she throws the light pink piece of cloth she was holding to a side, a bit too much dramatically to be completely honest.]

They babble of love, and yet they all want a very much typical party. I had suggested something more special, more intimate, but it seems to me that such a special occasion is being used as a vile excuse to make noise. Inconsiderate simpletons...

[Well it seems somebody had been keeping that for herself for a while. She maintains her composure though, because that's unsightly of an emperor.]

Ah, I almost forgot the purpose of this message. How are you all planning to spend Valentine's Day? I hope you all have a special someone, or someones to keep you company and devote yourself to love in a proper way. [That coming from her probably means something completely different though. The feed ends with Saber making a dreamy face for a moment.]

...Those are wise words. I'll keep that in mind.

Oh, and I don't believe we've been introduced. My name is Ushiromiya Lion.

[he makes a small bow to the camera.]

Umu!

[Her chest raises at the praise. Sure, she never said those were her words -recorded or not- but is nice when somebody heeds her advice.]

Saber, at your service. Unless you feel the need to learn my true name, but I prefer Saber for practical reasons.

[oneinamillion]

[True name...?]

If you prefer to be called that, I can hardly object, miss Saber. It's nice to meet you.

[lyres]

Ah, I appreciate it. Perhaps if we meet sometime later I shall confide it with you. It's not a secret, all in all.

And it's nice to meet you, Lion. How are you finding your stay in Prospero?

video

[oneinamillion]

I see. In that case, I hope you find me worthy to know of it someday.

[He pauses and his smile drops a bit. Oh, how to respond? He takes a moment, but eventually settles with:]

...It's very different from home.

[lyres]

Of course! All in due time.

Umu! I can only imagine what others must be going through, considering I come for two particularly different backgrounds.

[Servants...they are weird like that.]

video

[oneinamillion]

Two different backgrounds?

[That was rare--he was a bit curious, here.]

[lyres]

Well, in theory I shouldn't remember the last one, but I was brought here before the data was reset so...it's plain luck.

[She would have forgotten about her Master if she had been brought from after that.]

Ah, don't trouble yourself with that. It's a peculiarity from my world. I am from both the past, and was summoned in the future, if we assume this is the present, of course. That is roughly what I meant.

video

[oneinamillion]

Data was...reset?

[Wait, what--oh he kind of regrets asking now this was just plain confusing. In fact all of the blondes he's met so far are confusing--what kind of weird pattern is this.]

Is--is that so. I'm afraid I don't exactly follow, but...as long as it doesn't trouble you to be from so many points in time...

I suppose it might be difficult to understand, but where I come from "heroes" can be brought back to life to fight for the right to have a wish fulfilled in what's known as the Holy Grail War. And yet, every time the War ends the heroes' memories are reset. It would be troublesome for me if such a thing had happened.

[]A pause.]

Has this information been useful to you?

video

[oneinamillion]

[Processing....processing....error. He smiles a little, apologetically.]

It is difficult for me to understand. I'm sorry.

However, it does sound fascinating. I've heard of this "Holy Grail War" from a man who claims to be Gilgamesh, but hearing about the details was indeed useful.

[lyres]

Don't worry, it's not necessary for you to understand it all.

Ah, him. Don't pay too much attention to him.

video

[oneinamillion]

I see...

[Yes, he wishes he heard that sooner. The unnerving smile that man left him with during the end of their conversation still makes him uneasy.]

Perhaps one day I'll be able to make sense of it.
