First tale

[ACCIDENTAL AUDIO >>> ACCIDENTAL VIDEO.]

[Okay, he found the device, and then what? He pushed random buttons, until the audio function is on yet he barely noticed.]

Okay, this thing is pretty weird. Which button should I--

[That's when he turned the function into that of a video. Should you see him, he's totally cloaked with his green-hood over his face. NOPE, NOT SUSPICIOUS. This is just how a Robin Hood rolls, always wary. So wary that villagers gives no fuck herp-a-derp. But hey, a thief gotta be sneaky, y'know?]

Hello? Hey? Hey!? What am I supposed to do with you, damn thing!?

[This is what you get when you are summoned from a virtual box; miscommunication, lack of knowledge about modern technologies, blahblahblah.]

[SHE'S JUST GOING BIT BY BIT... Baby steps, man. She thinks he's not gonna get it if she infodumps. Either that or he'll get bored halfway through and run off like a ninny. Hakuno nods at his question.]

You're a normal human. Former Servants and Masters seem to be a pretty popular choice for the island to pull, actually.

[He call BS! Robin Hood does not run off! Not until he stole something from rich person and gives it to the poor yadda yadda. Nonetheless, the first question he had in mind at the word 'Master'...]

Gramps here?

[Unfortunately, Hakuno shakes her head.

No, but I kinda wish he was, now that you're here to cause trouble.

Plus, Dan was a pretty cool guy and she wouldn't have minded his company. Then again, he's probably partying it out with his wife in the afterlife.]

... The only people from our world besides you and me are Gawain, Shinji's Rider and my Saber.

That is so unfortunate. [~~FOR YOU~~ Archer's visibly giving a weak smile. Hey, he might say bad things for Dan but he was the best Master ever. For him, at least.

...Wait what?]

Your Saber?

[... Wait what?]

Yes. Saber.

[Did he hit his head on the way to the island or something...? Maybe I should remind him.]

You know. Short girl, red dress... And has kind of... big... [She makes a vague gesture towards her chest. Seriously man, how can you not remember those?!]

[Cross-canon mindfuck is a go.]

Now wait just a minute. When did you change your Servant? [And how the hell you are able to!?]

[Hakuno gives him a very intense stare filled with every ounce of "What the fuck are you talking about?" she could muster.]

I didn't. I've always had Saber. You're supposed to know this. You fought her twice.

[There's someone who got hit in the head, obviously. His head, or her's.

Or both.]

Now you're trying to mess with my head, aren't you? I know that Archer used a pair of swords, but that is not a reason to change his nick into a Saber.

[... Wait. Hold on a sec. Lancer explained this to her a while back... Maybe this has something to do with this.

Ugh. Excuse her while she puts a palm to her face.]

This could be part of that whole Second Magic thing Lancer told me about... Apparently, people can be from the same world, but different timelines here. So where you're from, my Servant was Archer...?

[Second Magic? What in Sherwood name is that? Not that he cared much, actually.]

Bingo. And yours Saber, then. Huh, very nice. [And fuuuck Saber >>> Archer, in terms of powers. The green man is definitely cancelling any plan to hurt her or something.]

Yep. [Even if her personality can be difficult to deal with sometimes.]

Anyway, try not to cause too much trouble while we're here. I'd prefer not experiencing a slow death from poison again, thanks.

Woah, woah, some distrust issue you have there.

Can you blame me? It hurt a lot and you were watching me from the shadows like it was some sort of creepy fetish. Besides, didn't you say betrayal was part of your whole schtick?

[OW. How dare you insult his -only- way of living, wimmen.]

Let's call that "Guerrilla Tactics" instead than creeping. We hunters always live like that.

[Not going to comment on betrayal part, kthx.]

[Go expand your horizons and find more hobbies, Robin Hood.]

Whatever, just don't do it again. To other people, at least. I think it could be useful with a certain situation that happens every midnight...

[Let me think about-- No.]

Certain situation?

[B|]

Apparently some monster things called Shadows pop up around that time and try to kill anyone that ventures outside.

[I am too cool for school, ma'am.]

Monsters... as in those creeps from Arena?

Kind of like that. There's even a dungeon that appears around that time, apparently.

There's also those... Persona thingies...

You lost me.

[:|]

A lot.

[... :|]

Where should I start, then?

I don't know. Your name, your bloodtype, your size, or such?

[... That's way off the subject! And you're telling me all that time, you haven't even glanced at the bulletin board or heard my name from Dan at least once?!]

... Kishinami Hakuno. I don't remember my bloodtype. And...

[Hold on brb pulling at her shirt's neckline and looking down.]

I think I'm a C...?

[...Well shit. Joke doesn't even work with you, eh?]

I was joking, you know. [Well, half of it, at least. Since he doesn't know your name. And let's not go into how solitary he is.]

Persona, Persona.

[Geez, I'm sorry your sarcasm skill is a rank lower than mine.]

Oh, apparently your personality can manifest itself as a mythological or historical figure. It can cast spells and stuff like that.

I haven't gotten mine yet, though. I've been mostly staying inside during the Dark Hour.
