[Action - Early Evening]

[It is a lovely evening in Prospero tonight, isn't it? The stars are shining, the night air is cool, and oh my what's that up in the night sky. It almost looks like something is falling towards the ground very, very quickly and

THUD.

welp. It looks like some poor Kid fell out of the sky and faceplanted right in the middle of an alley. Stranger still, he gets up like nothing happened at all. Frankly, he looks more confused about his surroundings than falling out of the sky, since that wasn't at all unusual for where he was from. He'd start to wander around the city streets like a lost puppy, occasionally stopping to stare at the strange buildings and people around him. You may also notice a slight stumble in his step and lots of bruises on him.]

[Video - An Hour Later]

[The screen turns on, but looks a little bit blurry. If you squint, it looks like someone's shaking the device and hitting it against something, creating a nicely irritating audio feedback as well. That is, incredibly loud ringing and thud noises. Finally, he'd stop and the picture would clear up, revealing the Kid's face looking at the screen in obvious confusion, befuddled by this newfangled gadget. When he realizes some faces are staring back at him, his expression turns from confusion to slight embarrassment.

He'll just

wave at the camera a little bit.]

Second Script | "By that sin fell the angels." | Video

[stagecontroller]

[ It's been a while since Shakespeare did something in public, besides keep observing from the shadows and avoiding the fights he's not good at, so he decided to make another entrance as a video this time. And with something he has been wanting to do since he arrived here. To survive in this new era he needs a job and stop leeching from everything he can get for free.

And he's expensive as Hell. This is why he requires a Master, to pay for every single thing he likes, but that's not what this post is it about. Today you can see the Great Shakespeare going to Prospero's Theater. And we all know this cannot end very well.

For some minutes, the screen goes black before focusing again in the doors as the playwright opens them and makes an entrance. Inside there are the actors in the stage for their practice when the Director speaks to Shakespeare to leave at once. Which of course he didn't do. ]

I have seen your plays and the way you teach the young ones to perform in their stage, and I can express how disappointed I am. There is no feeling or life that the audience can receive from such empty play. You only play for yourself and not for them, ignoring what beauty the stage and roles can provide you. I came here today to strip you from your charge and remove you from your place where I plan to stand starting from today, good sir.

[ There's a minute of silence, as Shakespeare continues. ]

Allow me to demonstrate everyone how this role should be played.

[ For those who were curious about how amazing Shakespeare was when he lived, here it comes the proof. He stands in the stage and drops his cape, his completely aura feels different at the moment he closes his eyes. The moment he opens them again, his voice raises and his body language changes as well. ]

"I must prevent thee, Cimber.
These couchings and these lowly courtesies
Might fire the blood of ordinary men,
And turn pre-ordinance and first decree"

[ For those familiar with Shakespeare's works, he's performing Julius Caesar play, putting himself in the role of Caesar. He walks in the stage, his gaze firm with the posture of an emperor. ]

"Into the law of children. Be not fond,
To think that Caesar bears such rebel blood
That will be thaw'd from the true quality
With that which melteth fools; I mean, sweet words,
Low-crooked court'sies and base spaniel-fawning."

[ He stops and raises his hands dramatically, each word being said with such feeling enough to provoke and touch the crowd that watches him. He then speaks strong again, as an Emperor would do in such situation. ]

"Thy brother by decree is banished:
If thou dost bend and pray and fawn for him,
I spurn thee like a cur out of my way."

[ And finally, with his eyes sharp and great as if the same Julius Caesar were standing in front of everyone, Shakespeare speaks again the final lines of his role. ]

"Know, Caesar doth not wrong, nor without cause
Will he be satisfied."

[ He stands for a few seconds, before all the actors start applauding him, amazed by such performance. The old director takes his leave after Shakespeare smiles to him triumphantly, then he claps his hands together and orders everyone to return to work. He introduces himself as William only, to avoid being called a crazy one. Minutes later, he picks the device again. ]

Prospero, I'm looking for new faces to perform in my stages. Do you think you can perform in the roles I give to you? I have high expectations of many of you, after all. Do not worry, we will start with a classic one of my plays that many of you are fond of. Please, be looking forward it.

[ A polite chuckle and he ends the feed. ]

[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.
