First Feast: The best Servant was chosen

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly she's not deleted data anymore. Suddenly she's face down on the floor of what she has yet to describe as an incredibly dull hotel room. Saber stands up slowly, her now human body exposing itself to her; when did she last feel such frailty? Too long away to truly want to look back. Her red dress flutters around her, now nothing but a mere piece of cloth with a rather showy front; now that she's certain her Heroic Spirit prowess is gone, Saber feels the need to replace the front; showing her undergarments has no appeal to her a just a mere girl.

She snorts; she'll never be just a mere girl.

With quick movements she gets rid of the clothes, and dons the simple jeans and plain shirt; necessary measures she will endure until she can get her hands on the materials she needs...and more expensive clothes, too. At least the shoes are comfortable enough.]

By the gods, this is truly a dull room. It lacks color, it lacks contrast, it lacks...

[Saber waves her hand in front of the bed, a frown on her face.] It lacks me, but I am here now. On that topic, where is here?

[Only now she catches sight of the cellphone; she's used to technology, and it seems this era is not as advanced as the one she last visited. A quick survey of the device and she decides for the video function.

She then turns the function on. The camera is fixed on a wall frst, and then it quickly turns to focus on her chin.]

Strange is the life of us bound to serve, that I can accept. This nonsense, though? Humanity? While I welcome the memories of those years this body was my true one, I find this situation troubling. Servants, after all, are not meant to become humans again. I ask, then, if others like me are in this situation; anybody willing to share information will be repaid handsomedly.

[All the while her tone has been cool, yet charged with emotion, as if every word matters. And they do. Apparently satisfied, Saber moves the camera away, momentarily focused on her dress before showing the ceilling, as she threw it on her bed. Showing her face or exposing her identity... it's too early to trust she can be herself.]

What kind of magic could make everyone remain oblivious like that...? I'm assuming that those like you or myself aren't affected by this effects?

[He's a little caught off guard by the magic comment, considering the fact that he comes from a world which has none. Crazy creatures composed of medals who were created eight hundred years ago, yes, but not necessarily magic.]

I wouldn't call it magic, but whatever's happening here is a lot bigger than all of us. It keeps looking like whoever wakes up here and isn't a native isn't affected by any of it. No one's found a pattern yet, though. It's a huge, confusing mess.

[This brought a new theory up in his mind. Maybe the longer one was exposed to the environment here, the less resistant they became to whatever it was. Or it was a mass hallucination. He still believed the possibility of that last part.]

Hm, whatever the case, this won't be solved by sitting around. If fighting is all we can do for now, then do be it. I'm no stranger to such a notion anyway.

So, will you fight?

[preferstobegin.livejournal.com]

You're asking that like I've got any other options. If it's what I have to do to get answers, then it looks like I'm fighting.

[He doesn't seem bothered by this, but he's not too thrilled either. Still, he hasn't made any other goals for himself since arriving.]

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

Remaining inactive, while not the best course of action, is still an option. I just don't expect anyone to take it as such.

I think I will explore this place on my own for a while, but once I have cleared my doubts I guess I'll try to contact the rest of those stranded here. Until then, Akira-san.

You've got a point.

[When she's silent, he just waits patiently, figuring she's going to ask more questions. Date smiles a little at the unexpected response.]

Have fun. You've got my number in case you've got any other questions.
