[There is no network call or the usual screaming demands of where, why, and how. The newest arrival to Prospero does nothing to make her presence known. Though, anyone walking along the shoreline of the island this afternoon would probably notice the new face.

BECAUSE THERE IS AN UNCONSCIOUS GIRL FLOATING FACE UP IN THE MOTHERFUCKING OCEAN.

Thankfully close to the beach's shores, at least. Still... Help would be nice right about now.]

[HOLY CRAP THERE IS A GIRL THERE THAT SHOULD NOT BE.

Welp, time to drag her to shore, getting his clothes wet in the process. And it's freezing, but no time to think of that!]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Thanks, best friend that she doesn't actually have.

Thankfully, it doesn't take that long for her to come to. Her eyes open slightly, but remain as a pained squint as her vision remained out of focus. Her head and joints of her body felt like it was being smacked around with a powered-on jackhammer.

Geez, why didn't Rin warn me that hacking me out of the Arena would be so painful? Hakuno manages to complain mentally despite all her pain.

Hakuno fails to immediately recognize Issei, as her mind was still in the process of clearing up.]

Ugh... Wh-Where...?

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Are you alright? Don't try to talk too much. Where are you in pain?

[Issei's natural state is worrying.]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[That voice. Hakuno knew that voice. It tormented her during the preliminaries, a reminder of how she knew there was something wrong with her daily school life.

Not paying attention to her immediate surroundings, she chooses to focus on the person before her to assume where she is. Slowly, she struggles to sit up with a pained groan, and brings a hand to her forehead. She's so exhausted that she didn't have the usual verbal filter for her sarcasm.]

It's probably not in your programming to care, but... it hurts freaking everywhere, Issei.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Of course I care, and- sorry, have we met before?

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Is that some kind of trick que---ACHOO!

[Hakuno ends up interrupting herself with a sneeze, and realizes that dear god it is freezing right now. She didn't remember the SE.RA.PH having a weather system other than sunny... Instinctively, she wraps her arms around herself and tries to fight back her shivers.

It was then she finally registered the feeling of the sand she was sitting on, and the sound of the ocean she got pulled out of. And that she was cold. And wet. And it sucked.

But the one thing that struck her the most was the horizon. The sky didn't have a single binary code swimming in it. Is this really still the SE.RA.PH?]

Where... is this?

Oh?

[]

PRAETOR!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

That is an unsightly way to come to the island, Praetor! Pull yourself together.

[]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Hakuno groaned upon awakening to the familiar chastising of her Servant and the feeling of getting dragged through the sand. Her body's still pretty sore from being hacked out of the Arena.]

It huuurts, Sabeeeerrrr.... Hmm?

[Wait, Saber? Her Saber, whom Hakuno had been so deathly worried about, was strong enough to drag her out of this unexpected ocean and not dying?

Hakuno quickly forgets all her pain and practically throws herself at the shorter girl. She embraced her Servant tightly, though she ends up accidentally burying her face between Saber's breasts. Hakuno remains blissfully unaware, because all she cared about was that Saber wasn't suffering anymore.]

SABER! You're all right!

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

[]

Of course I am all right, you silly girl. Why wouldn't I be? I am the one that should be worrying about this kind of display. I demand an explanation for this to happen.

...And I also am glad to see you again.

[]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Okay, now Hakuno is going mentally kjzgfjh because OH GOD CAN'T BREATHE. She gives a muffled protest towards Saber's chastising.]

How was I supposed to know I was gonna get thrown into an ocean when Rin hacked us out of the Arena?! What part of the SE.RA.PH is this, anyway?

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

What is this?

[]

You mustn't worry about that right now. All is well on that account, but there are more pressing matters to discuss. First, we are no longer on SE.RA.PH. We are on Earth, on the past.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Earth? In the past? What the hell does that all mean? Yet... Saber wouldn't make something like that up at a time like this. She pulls away from her Servant, and tilts her head to the side in thought.]

Well, that would explain the ocean and city... but it still doesn't make sense. Rin's talented, but I don't think she could pull this off.

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

[You know you're having a bad day of fishing when the only thing you catch is a mafia surprise, a floater, someone who drank too much the night before, or whatever terminology you'd wanna put to it.]

[So yes, another person bringing you to shore through some second magic parallel worlds madness or something. It's magic, ain't gotta explain shit, etc.]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Obviously what happened is that after saying goodbye to Issei and before getting picked up by Saber again, she tripped and fell off some pier. Y e p.

Anyway, once Hakuno comes to and coughs out the seawater from her lungs---Holy shit. She quickly sits up with shock, and may or may not have accidentally headbutted Lancer in the process.]

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

[She just loves swimming or trying-to-swim. Like Lancer loves stinking at fishing and wearing godawful shirts. Only the second statement there was completely sincere w o o p s.]

[Anyway gwoomph did not expect that.]

Easy, kid. You're outta the water now, so just relax.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[NO SHE WILL NOT RELAX. In fact, she looks like she's seen a ghost. Though impolite, she going to slowly point a trembling finger at him.]

L-L-L-L---

[She finally manages to cough it out.]

Lancer...!

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

[He'll raise an eyebrow at that before shrugging.]

I'd say that my reputation's preceding me, but there's no way I've already made a reputation here that'd get that kind of reaction.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Berserker blew out your entire left side a few days ago!

[What the shit, man. This makes no sense at all! Unless... brb freaking out while her mind goes wild.]

Oh god, did I die?! What did you do, Riiiiin?!

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

[ HEY LOOK IT'S SOMEONE WHO'S GOING TO RUN INTO HER MAYBE AFTER SHE'S BEEN RESCUED? Because the hell if Saber's going to go anywhere near that water even to save someone's life. ]

Are you unwell, child? [ Speaketh the Saber in a fancy suit. ]

action;

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[SURE LET'S GO WITH THAT. After tripping and falling into the ocean many times, after getting the lowdown by Saber and like... everyone else... Hakuno decided to deal with the cold she caught and try to understand the layout of the island first. You know, because sleep is totally the least priority.

And then somebody decided to ask how she's doing out of the blue.]

I'm fine, just a bit of a co---

[Wait hold on a minute. This girl's... or boy's... appearance finally registers in her mind. She blinks in confusion.]

Saber? How did you change clothes so fast? Come to think of it, you're speaking differently as well... [Did she catch a cold too---]

[white-knightin.livejournal.com]

[ Wait a second, isn't that the girl that Leo kept talking to and treating like dirt? ]

Are you ok?

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Assuming this is after she's rescued from drowning in her sleep---]

.......!

[Hakuno lets out a startled gasp and quickly scrambles to take a step back. The color drains from her face, and her sweat starts to mix in with the sea water she's drenched in. Her body wasn't trembling from the sheer cold anymore, but from utter terror. Even breathing is starting to become a difficult task. She just narrowly escaped Julius's Servant, only for Leo's to be in front of her. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, she supposes.

Hakuno glances around, frantically looking for her Servant---No. Even if Saber were here or not, they were far from battle ready. Her mind runs in several different directions before she settles on a single thought:

Oh god, how did I end up alone with this shining menace?! Am I... going to die here?

By instinct, she shuts her eyes to brace herself for impending doom.]

[white-knightin.livejournal.com]

[He can't just leave her out in the cold, even if she is the enemy there's no war going on right now so the least he can do is help her out.]

If you can't stand I'll carry you. [Offering up his hand to use as support]

Also I'm not going to get in to some pointless fight with you, there's a time and a place for when I will have to fight you but for now lets just put that behind us.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Hakuno's eyes slowly and cautiously open when she felt no incoming deathblow. Confusion is clear in her eyes upon hearing his offer for help? He claims that he wouldn't attack her, but... Could Hakuno really trust an enemy Servant? She makes a quick search in her mind for what she knew about this particular Heroic Spirit.

Sir Gawain from the Arthurian legends, well-known for his courteousness. Also known as a defender of women, earning him the reputation of "the Maiden's Knight". His chivalry is the theme of many medieval romances... The chance of him using under-handed tactics were low, and Leo didn't seem to particularly care about me being pitted against Julius...

I think I can trust him. For now, anyway.

She gives a slow, hesitant nod, and takes his hand to help get onto her feet. She feels like she fell from a ten-story building, but she's not exactly comfortable with the idea of being carried around by Gawain, enemy or not.]

... I can stand on my own.

[white-knightin.livejournal.com]

[One less thing for him to worry about, she was able to stand up on her own. So she couldn't have been hurt to badly.]

Good, I take it you'll want to find Saber as soon as you can correct? She's become good friends with my king so she might be with her.

You need to be careful at night as well, don't go out in less you're with someone else. [He's just being helpful, there's no need to get someone involved in the shadow mess if they can't defend them selves.]
