[1: Arturia Pendragon and the Holy Grail]
Arturia is on a quest for Anemoi in the deep woods, Excalibur at her side and a growing sense of urgency as she searches. She has with her many allies, but one in particular is getting to her with a very peculiar habit of theirs. t says something about Arturia's patience that it takes well over a few hours before she turns to that person [the replying character] and asks in a tense yet polite tone:

"Why are you following me and clapping coconut halves together?"

Seriously, the argument about fighting with fresh fruit versus pointy sticks right before they set out was a lot more bearable than this.

[2: My Little Servant: Networking is Magic]

[Video]

[Arturia looks very annoyed as the video feed begins. Behind her is the restaurant she frequented regularly, known for having some of the best food in all of Sirocco. It's also known as Arturia's favorite restaurant and where she could easily be found when she wasn't busy working.

There is now a very prominent 'Out of Business' sign across the double doors leading into it.

Heads are going to roll.

Despite how annoyed she looks, her voice is very cool and collected as she speaks.]

Who is responsible for this travesty? This establishment was getting a good deal of business from myself and others. There was no need for it to shut its doors and I demand answers if not the immediate reopening of this business!

[3: The Obligatory Shounen-style Fight Sequence]

[It could be a friendly duel, a training session, a misunderstanding, or a befriending. It doesn't matter what the reason is. You are now in a fight with one (1) Arturia Pendragon AKA King Arthur AKA Servant Saber.

Her might with a sword is almost at Dragonball levels. Do you really think you can stand a chance?]

1.)

*The whole of the grocery store aisle in front of you is currently blocked by extreme fluffiness -- nine fox tails, in fact. And the woman who sports them seems to be stuck in some sort of odd crisis of will.*

O-oh my! This fried tofu -- it looks so delicious! But I only have so much money to go around, it would be such a waste to pick up something like this. Still, it does look good... ah, have some self-control, Ran! There are so many more important things to buy! Oh bother.

*Enable her? If only so you can reach the damn luncheon meat.*

2.)



*Ever since she moved in, this strange youkai woman has been acting like a total den mother, cleaning up, cooking, and so on. This morning, that mound of laundry you'd been putting off for a sunny day -- maybe -- has disappeared, and you can't find it anywhere -- until you walk out on the roof and realize apparently she prefers the old fashioned method of washing and drying clothes, including YOURS.*

Ah, good afternoon! A lovely day for laundry, wouldn't you say?

3.)



*So the building you guys have been exploring has some sort of puzzle which involves six deep alcoves. You can't see into them far enough to see what's in them, but you know that only one has a switch, and the others have nasty surprises. What to do? Well, apparently this woman has an idea, if the six paper dolls she pulls out have anything to say about it. She holds them up, and they begin to glow and float.*

No need to endanger your limbs. I believe I can handle this situation with much greater ease.

4.)



*The life of one so long lived allows for many more memories with each Anemoi, and yet one memory frustratingly remains out of reach...*

I cannot stand it! Hundreds of years, the life of a dedicated servant, and yet I cannot even remember the face of who I served! What sort of servant must I be that I cannot even remember my own master's face? I must have been a true failure.

[Video: Rin, outside somewhere, lying on her back, looking at nothing in particular. The camera's on the floor next to her, and the feed is sideways, making her look like she's dangling from a window or something.]

[For a long moment, she doesn't say anything.]


I wonder if I'm a cloud.

It would make a lot of sense, really. A lot of the thoughts I have feel like cloudy thoughts, all white and fluffy around the edges. I'm always drawn to the sky. One might think that clouds don't have haircuts or one-sided conversations or fresh fruit, but I've never asked one. Maybe they do all that after they float off past the horizon.

Then again, I guess I'd know for sure what clouds do past the horizon, if I was one. Dang.

Maybe if I just lie here, I won't have to remember more stuff. I ate an orange today.

[Action! Rin is out by some building in Sirocco. Surrounding her are a variety of painting supplies, and a half-finished mural that's been slowly forming over the past week or two.]

[The mural is fairly abstract, filled with vibrant colors, and seems to hint at some greater complexity just outside of conscious perception. There are lots of pieces of what seem like familiar sights, but they're blended together in surreal patterns that defy any attempt to make sense of them. As for Rin, it's hard to tell if she notices anyone else being here or not - she has a look on her face as if she's in her own separate world.]

[To call the sound you hear from your dorm a "knock" on the door is sort of misleading. It's a single loud, fumbling thump, like someone half-falling over onto the door with a random side of their body.]

[When you open the door, Rin is there.]


Hello. I need to borrow your window.
