[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.]

[Shrug.] Hell if I know. Though I did hear that the SE.RA.PH based Tsukumihara Academy on a school that existed in the real world.

Anyway, what's the situation here? Isn't this the real world...?

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

People tend to just wake up here, and the people they know and places that they came from no longer exist. If I were to call my father, the number would be unregistered. If I were to fly to Japan, I couldn't find my hometown. So I don't know if that counts as 'the real world'.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

So... It's like being stuck in 'another world'?

[Her mind was already trying to connect the pieces together. There were so many conclusion to draw, and yet so many more conclusion that sprang from it.]

This is seriously giving me deja vu...

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

That's a good way of putting it.

...And also, there are monsters at night. The hotel is relatively safe, so if you're outside of it at midnight, you'll have to be able to defend yourself.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Monsters?

[Sounds a lot like the enemy programs back in the SE.RA.PH... Her next musings were more toward herself, rather than Issei.]

It sounds a lot like the Arena. I'd be alright if Saber was with me, but... [They didn't seem to get transported together.]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

We have a Saber here - actually, we have three Servants summoned to that class.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly, alarm bells are ringing in her head.]

Wait, you know about Servants? It seemed like you weren't familiar with the Holy Grail War...

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I wasn't until I came here. We have enough Servants and Masters from home that I eventually found out about it. My best friend was a Master, for one thing.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[But if that's the case, then wouldn't they be from the same world? Yet, Issei has no idea who Hakuno is and seems perfectly human. None of this made se---Oh!]

So that would mean we're from the same world, but different times... I think.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

That sounds right. There are Servants from both the Fourth and the Fifth War, and my friend's father is alive here when he's dead in our time.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I... don't know which War I'm part of. My... memories didn't recover properly after they got wiped by the SE.RA.PH.

[Ugh, she hates admitting that part. Stupid amnesia. But if it anything, Hakuno concluded that she's most probably from the future.]

But, um... My Saber... She's this short blond girl with green eyes, with a little hair antenna. Have you seen her?

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

...I might have. Wears red?

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Y-Yes! That's her! Is she all right? She was badly injured the last time I saw her, so...

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

She's completely fine, last I heard.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness...

[Hakuno's smile is brighter than usual. She really didn't care how, but she's glad Saber was going to live. Hakuno could make sense of this some other time. Things should work out, now that they were out of the SE.RA.PH and not forced to kill other people---Wait.

Oh that's right...]

Ah, and I'm looking for another person too. A girl with dark hair and red sweater. Her name's Tohsaka Rin. Have you seen her around too, Issei?

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Tohsaka? Thankfully she's not been spotted here, or else I might have even more of a headache. At my home, we're enemies in school.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[... Well, frankly Hakuno isn't surprised that Rin wouldn't get along with much people, but... There was a more bigger concern than that.]

Wait, you mean she exists in your world?! That doesn't make sense! She's an actual person where I'm from, and not an NPC---

[Again, she places a hand on her forehead.]

The more I try to make sense of everything, the more questions spring up...

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry I can't do more. I'm still struggling to deal with what goes on here.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault. I think the main question I should be focusing on is what I should do now...

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

You should probably find your Saber, I'd think.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's a good idea. This seems like a pretty big island, though, I hope I don't get lo---

[She turns away to sneeze. Oh, right. Cold. Even if it was nice and warm here, who knows how long she had been floating in the ocean. Must be taking its toll.

But she really needed to find Saber. Hakuno turns her attention right back to Issei, giving a bit of an embarrassed smile.]

Erm, anyway, I really owe you one, Issei. Once I get things straightened out, let me know how I can make it up to you.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I won't hold it over your head. How could I not help somebody in need? You can make it up to me by not getting hurt.
