[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.

[Well, there could be worse ways to meet.]

Same here, its always nice to see familiar faces around.

What kind of place is this, really?

[action!] Hurr durr slight error

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

...well, I'm not really sure myself, but its definitely not normal.

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I rarely wake up in completely normal places oceans away for no reason.

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

[Well, true that.]

There's theories about how people ended up here, but they're just that. Theories.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

How long have you been here?

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

I've only been here for a day, but there are some other people who have been here since July.

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

That- and things have been the same since then?

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

At least, that's what I have heard from the others.

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I don't like this at all...

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

I don't really like this either, but the least we can do is to find out the true nature of this place.

[Speaking of which.]

Has anyone told you about the Dark Hour and Shadows yet?

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I've heard - a little. I'd rather hear it from someone I trust without exception.

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

This is going to get weird, just so you know.

[And with that, he's going to tl;dr about Dark Hour, Persona, and Shadows.]

[action!]

[Listening intently. After...]

If it weren't you telling me this, I would storm off in disgust at having been put through a bad joke.

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, its not really a joke.

I saw them myself.

[And he beat them up with a metal pipe, but he's not telling Issei that.]

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

[Good idea.]

...I believe you. It's terrible, but I believe you.

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

...so, what are we you going to do now?

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Help fight.

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

[That was a surprising answer.]

...that's a new one.

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I am not going to run and hide when something serious is afoot. Especially not if you are putting yourself in harm's way, and knowing you, you must be.

[GRK! SHIROU IS DOWNED, ALL-OUT ATTACK? Y/N]

...well...

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Emiya Shirou, how badly have you gotten yourself hurt already?

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

Would you believe if I said I have not received any injuries yet?

[action!]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

No, I wouldn't.

[action!]

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

[Well at least there's no visible injury...]

It was worth a shot, at least.
