[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.]

But I'm pretty sure it was you. Though we never really talked until now...

[Speaking of which, where are his Tron Li---Er, I mean... This place doesn't look familiar.]

Where are we? Is this part of the Moon Cell?

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

Never heard of that either. The hell's a Moon Cell?

...Look, you ever hear of a thing called the second magic?

[This is spoken in the tone that declares: you will learn of it, and learn to hate it]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Did he seriously ask that question? Hakuno thought that all Servants knew about the Moon Cell.]

The Moon Cell's a world made by the Holy Gra---

[Whoa wait wait wait. Second magic? Unfortunately, the Holy Grail War in Hakuno's world runs on ~computer science~. So her very confused expression makes it clear that she has no idea what Lancer's talking about.]

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

Cutting all the extra crap outta the explanation, it means there's all kinds of different worlds next to each other where stuff happens differently. Including, apparently, how the grail wars even occur.

[Moon Cell, Moon Unit, Keith Moon, whatevs. You ain't in Moon Kansas anymore, Dorothy.]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[That explains why you don't look like you're wrapped up in neon lights and why you don't recognize me. I guess.

Given the fact that the Moon Cell was virtual, she could sort of buy this explanation. There's no binary codes in the sky or weird honeycomb patterns on the buildings. And it didn't have that "strange" feeling that the SE.RA.PH had. Huh. But that brings the question...]

Then where is this and how did I get here? I don't think Rin's hacking skills are that powerful, no matter how good she is.

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

[Ignoring the obvious 'what is hacking' question for now. The thought of any Magus, much less Rin of all people using a computer can be a laughing fit for another time.]

Here is Prospero. Some island full of people wondering how and why the hell they came here. Trust me, you ain't the first one to ask that question.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Hakuno tries to piece this all together...]

So you're saying that this island pulls people from different worlds for no reason. Which means while you're the same person, you're technically not the one I know.

[Okay. She gets it. Probably.]

... So now what?

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

[Lancer lets out a sigh. The vigor he was fishing with -- namely a lethargy so extreme that looking at him would be enough to make others feel tired -- seems to slowly begin to return.]

Best damn question there is about the place, and one of the ones nobody can really answer. So far anyone drug here seems to content themselves by beating up on monsters at midnight.

[This spoken like it's The Most Casual Thing to say.]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Well, for Hakuno, who beats up on monsters with Saber every evening back home... she is not surprised by how its The Most Casual Thing to say.]

Oh, Saber and I do stuff like that back in the Moon Cell...

Speaking of which, have you seen her anywhere? Short girl, blond hair with an antenna, green eyes, wears red and says "Umu!" a lot?

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

Haven't heard any "Umu" yet, though that might just be 'cause of which Saber I've actually talked to. There's two girls here with that kind of physical description, by the way.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

... There are two Sabers that look the same.

[She says this in the most skeptical tone that was humanly possible. She's pretty sure cloning didn't exist in... whatever time period Saber was from.]

Why does everything have to be confusing...

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

It's not exactly the same; yours wears red, the other blue... usually. Easy to figure out. Dunno who yours really is, but they ain't the same.
