[At least this person seems to know what he's doing: he doesn't look at all surprised when the device clicks on and starts recording, merely annoyed and more than a bit worried.]

This is a ridiculous situation. It isn't possible for someone to wake up on another continent for no reason. For one thing, who would bother to kidnap a monk? Not even a monk, but a monk in training?

On the chance that this isn't an extraordinarily vivid dream, I'd like to ask for some explanation of what on earth is going on here. I would appreciate it. The only other apparent option would be to beat my head against the wall until the concussion knocks me out and I wake up at home again, but that doesn't appeal as much.

...Issei?

Emiya? So you're also here?

[video]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah.

[Awkward.]

Where are you, right now?

[Issei turns the camera around so that it shows the outside of a bookstore, whichever one Diarmuid works at (so go ask his player for the name).] It was relatively familiar. Bookstores don't vary all that much.

[Oh he's seen that before in his tour...]

Wait there, I'll be coming in a few sec.

[And he begins making his way there!]

As for the why, I can't say. As for where you are, you're in America, in the town of Prospero.

You've been called to be a warrior in the war against the Shadows.

[ Have an enormous face staring at you. ]

[That's a little intimidating.]

...I'm not a warrior, however. I have some training, but generally monks are pacifists except in dire circumstances.

YOu have little choice, so you will have to learn. Still, you have my sympathies. There is honor in choosing not to fight, but this is an existential battle, philosophy is of little use to us if humanity dies entirely.

...How bad is this war exactly?

I can answer your questions, though I warn you it'll sound unbelievable.

[video]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

It's not a good habit to dismiss anything out of hand, particularly when you're out of your depth. I'll keep an open mind.

Please.

I assume you already know this city's name and the continent it's on. Unfortunately, to begin with, no one knows how we got here or what could be responsible for our arrival.

[video]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Prospero, United States of America. The country is familiar but the city isn't, although since I've never left Fuyuki, Japan, that probably doesn't mean much.

[Dryly.] The same kinda type who'd kidnap someone who spends half their waking hours playing music, and the other half doing logistical work.

[Again, with less sarcasm!] I can give real answers though, or I can to the best of my ability. Who, what, where, when, why - which do you wanna start with? I'll warn you "who" is currently unknown, though.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

'Where' has been told to me, 'when' I picked up from the nearest newspaper, so 'what' is probably the best question to ask.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Mm... that one's another toughie, but I'll see what I can do!

"What is going on" would be that people are, for lack of a better word, congregating here. There are all types from -- and yes, I know it sounds ridiculous -- different worlds and times here, with no rhyme or reason as to how they've been chosen. As stated before, the perpetrator and cause are unknown.

Following so far?

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I follow. I'm not sure I quite believe it, but I have no better explanation for waking up here, so I'll assume that it's possible.

...Other worlds, really?

[ex_cashcow493]

Do you have any questions that have gone unanswered?

[ Straight to business. ]

[video]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Aside from 'is the hotel really safe to stay at', I should be fine...

[video]

[ex_cashcow493]

What floor are you on? The room next to my own is still available if you need secured protection.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Emiya trusts you? Then you're a trustworthy person. I would be glad for that.

People do things in dreams because they have no consequences. People expect everything in dreams because there is no logic governing what happens. Dreams are different.

Can you really believe that and stay sane?
