[It's a few hours before midnight. The screen turns on, revealing what looks like a weary man in his late 20s, though his tired demeanor pushes his apparent age a little further than that. He wastes no time in starting to speak, deciding that this is no time for formalities. While Kiritsugu Emiya would normally opt to reveal himself only through a voice, he no longer believes himself to have any real enemies, and he wishes to see the faces of other people trapped in this place.]

I gather we're in the United States, or at least a technologically superior version of it.

[This is what happens when you take a guy from the 90s.]

However, apart from a name, I haven't gathered any details regarding this city. At this point, I would like to ask: what is going on?

Comments

[Video] arguably later?

Hey there.

[]

Have you had everything explained to you? I can't stand talking to newbies.

[He actually opens his mouth to respond, being completely unfamiliar with the voice. Looking at the screen changes his mind, though. Is Saber, of all people, playing with him?]

[...No. The voice, the outfit, the personality... this most likely is someone else, but... his silence towards her is not an easy habit to break.]

...

A silent kind of guy, eh? Or perhaps you talked with that other me already? We aren't that similar, to be honest, besides some basic details.

But if you want to keep, how do they say? Playing it cool, I have no interest on poking you until you talk. Such a waste of time is unbecoming.

[Kiritsugu has never appreciated an overabundance of words, but this Saber is willing to let him be. To him, that is enough to separate her from her counterpart.]

Are you from the same world as her?

[...Tougher than he thought. He doesn't actually know this Saber is a Servant as well, but he's certainly going to try to find out.]

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I was surprised to find her here. And we are not the same person. Our real names differ, I mean.

[]

I'm from after. Way after. But in terms of origins...I'm surely from before.

And who would you be?

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

Someone new.

[Well, that confirms she's a Servant. That does change Kiritsugu's demeanor into one of a little more coldness, but at least this isn't Arturia. He's not going to be that obstinate about remaining silent. He hates the basis behind all Heroic Spirits, but Arturia's story in particular infuriates him.]

From the same world as her, too. Did you mean to say that you were from the past?

[If she was in the middle of a War, Kiritsugu reasons that he really has to keep his identity as a Magus a secret.]

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

Oh? You misunderstand. My Master already won his Grail War, and it happened, or actually, it will happen in the future. In the Moon.

But as for who I am, and who she is, I'm surely older. []

I have no business with almost everyone here, so rest assured I won't attack you on sight. It's a fair warning if you were thinking to do so to me.

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

[Even with the ability changes, he knows better than to attack a Servant, so he agrees with his silence. Still...]

...

In the moon.

[It's not admitting his identity, precisely. He can still act like Saber told him about it.]

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

Is it really that impressive? I guess the notion of the future really gets humans to think.

So, who would you be, mystery man?

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

I'm from the nineties. Simply traveling to the moon is still new to me.

...Kiritsugu.

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

Oh, that surely explains the wariness. I do believe it's also part of your character. It might keep you alive but will lose a good deal of excitement if you neglect yourself some happiness now and then.

Kiritsugu! I am Saber, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Sorry for the delay!

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

Another similarity you share with her. This will take some getting used to.

Don't worry!

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

Oh? So you are familiar with the other Saber?

Do tell me more~
