thusia | Proper Introductions

Who: Current inhabitants of HQ
When: Day 119, morning
Where: 4th floor courtyard
What: Breakfast and reestablished communications

[The smell of baking and breakfast sausages fills the air this morning. Follow it, and you'll find a large picnic blanket spread out between the 4th floor bulletin board and the (now once again empty, and finally clean) fountain.

The last of the rainforest's larder is spread out: small bowls of varied nuts, warm buns beside blood mushroom jam, fried potatoes, monkey sausage and crispy monkey wings. A salad of fresh green and yellow leaves, dotted with flower petals, adds colour, as does a plate of preserved local vegetables. In the centre, steaming gently, is a pot of . . . is that miso soup?

A sign on the bulletin board states, simply enough, Community Meet and Greet.]

Good morning.

I am quite sure I am not alone in realizing how many new faces there are in these halls, and how many more that were once here are now absent. Before we embark on whatever explorations we make have in this new location, it seems a good time to once again take a few moments to introduce ourselves.

If you could, please give your name, the length of time you have been here, and, as a way to open up conversation, feel free to share a point of interest about yourself, any plans you may have for the next few days, or questions about the environment we have navigated to.

Well enough. You seem stressed.

My daughter Ilyasviel is in a coma, as her mother has been for some time now as well.

You'll excuse my being short.

...My condolences. My daughter has recently left as well.

[... not going to point out that another Ilyasviel and Archer have also gone]

If she went with that god, she should be able to handle herself. Archer also went out there.

...Most likely.

[but he doesn't like Archer B(]

I'm still concerned.

I'd be more concerned for the beasts they run across.

[8|a]

I suppose.

[BUT TOPIC CHANGE]

I met your other daughter.

Shirou?

Yes. She's quite... helpful.

She does try to do her best.

[... but how are you meaning that. eying Tokiomi]

She barged into my apartment to clean it without invitation and despite my protests.

. . .

Did it need cleaning?

There had just been a rather messy explosion of plant matter, yes...

... then, is there a problem?

Ah, no. It's actually rather charming. You must be proud.

... of course.

[and yet it's a bittersweet feeling when he knows about Archer, when he knows the kind of paths Shirous could follow in other timelines, how they can end up like he did with their ideas betraying them...]

[totally not picking up on that because he's dense as shit]

She could refine her manners, but I suppose not everyone is suited to refined behavior.

She is fine the way she is. She and her sister have had a difficult time in their timeline.

As I said, it wouldn't suit her. It didn't suit Rin either.

[. . . hang on.

a traditional magus admitting his way of doing things were completely fucking wrong

brb, openly staring at.]

...Is something wrong?

--no.

My apologies.

You looked surprised.

... I wasn't expecting you to say something of that nature.

[what--

oh. right.]

Different times call for different measures. I wouldn't survive long if I didn't adapt.
