[ The feeds turns on, showing a beautiful woman with long, magenta-colored hair. She’s putting her finger by her chin in a thoughtful pose. ]

I have spoken with many persons here directly, [ She's indicating the random pedestrians, k? ] yet they seem to give me but one answer: I am in Prospero, a city in America. I am quite unsure of what’s happening, but…

[ Yes, she know. Secondary Magic and Parallel Worlds, isn’t it? ]

If I am going to speak about Servants, [ A small pause. ] Masters, [ Another pause. ] or Holy Grail War… [ Yet another small pause. ] How many of you are familiar with those terms?

You guys and your secrecy...anyway, you've probably already been told that you're in a nowhere town in America called Prospero. Every night there's an extra hour of time where everything shuts down (including the locals) and monsters called Shadows come out and attack us. Whatever supernatural powers you had before are gone, but everyone gets psychiatry-and-mythology-themed superpowers called Persona if they focus hard enough on fighting.

Let's see...ah, right. My name is Asuka Langley Soryu! I've been here for months now, even though I managed to leave for a bit once, so I'm one of the best fighters. What pseudonym do you want to go by?

Ah, I see.

[ tl;dr, Asuka... Rider's totally confused, but she'll try her best to handwave some that unnecessary. ]

I suppose you can address me as Rider for now. [ Wait- ] You managed to leave?

[She learned exposition from the cast of Evangelion. Have you watched that show?]

I don't know how I did it, if that's what you're asking. I guess my world needed me that badly.

[ Gendou Ikari is there, that's all people need to know about EVA. ]

And then you're suddenly absorbed back into this realm?

[soulsborderline]

Yep.

I guess I was getting bored anyway, but this place isn't much of an improvement.

I am sorry to hear that, I hope for the best to happen again to you, Asuka.

To summon this...'Persona', I need to focus on my strength, correct?

I'd say it's like forming an AT Field in your Evangelion, but you'd have no idea what I was talking about.

As much as I am interested in hearing more of it, I suppose we could wait for it. Merely focusing is just enough to summon that Persona?

Mostly. I think the adrenaline boost of being in a fight helps too.
