Proper Introductions

[cloakanddaikon]

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.

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

[no_hero]

. . .

Did it need cleaning?

[weddingcake]

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

[no_hero]

... then, is there a problem?

[weddingcake]

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

[no_hero]

... 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...]

[weddingcake]

[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.

[no_hero]

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

[weddingcake]

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

[no_hero]

[. . . hang on.







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

brb, openly staring at.]

[weddingcake]

...Is something wrong?

[no_hero]

--no.

My apologies.

[weddingcake]

You looked surprised.

[no_hero]

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

[weddingcake]

[what--

oh. right.]

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

[no_hero]

That's true...

[but my experience with magi...]

[weddingcake]

Rin has been a very demanding teacher.

[no_hero]

She does seem that.

[he says, but his tone's distracted, uncertain.]

[weddingcake]

[a short sigh]

Nevertheless, don't let me keep you from your day.

[no_hero]

You're not.

... not that today will be much of one.

[weddingcake]

Oh? And why is that?

[no_hero]

[need I remind you of what I said earlier]

[weddingcake]

[...well it can still be a day.]

...In any case, it was nice to meet Shirou. Her attitude does you credit.

[this is me escaping because this could get Emotional and only Rin and Michi are allowed in that direction!]

[no_hero]

[... okay. manage at least a passing form of etiquette, Kiritsugu.

gives a passing nod]

I don't necessarily think that her own personal achievements should reflect onto me, but thank you for your compliments.
