What are you doing? Why are you doing it?

[fujimaru]

But let's be real, when have any of us actually known that?

IN GENERAL: 1. Spoiler-experienced through the end of Part One 2. Spoiler-aware through current 3. Spoiler osmosis, ish, for events in all other fates 4. OTA Seriously I don't care if they've actually showed up in a fate property or if they're an AU of someone who has, cross-canon, OC, whatever; OTA is Open To All 5. Including for shipping because I'm easy and so is Ritsuka* * Not like, EASY EASY easy, but you know, easy. M/F, F/F, handholding or smut, however things go! 6. Flexible for commentspam and/or longer comments. 7. Hello friends please play with me (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ If you'd rather I write a starter just lmk!

[There's a long, long pause, where Sarnai just stares down at Ritsuka. For most people, it's probably an uncomfortable gaze--Sarnai's eyes are sharp and unflinching. And then she signs, very slowly to emphasize the point.]

Talk slower. I can't have lip-read that right.

[Oh boy.]

[fujimaru]

[ RIP Fujimaru Ritsuka.

She does at least try to talk more slowly, as directed, though she also already can tell it's not going to help. ]

You know, uh... general world-ending crises, trying to keep the correct path of human history moving forward, using the help and support of summoned Heroic Spirits?

Kind of like the Men in Black, but with magic. And more outfits.

[narangerel]

Are you high. Drunk? Both?

[YOU MAKE. NO SENSE?]

[fujimaru]

Trust me, this job would be a lot easier if I could be either...

[ But not only is she underaged for that, Mash would be So Disappointed In Her and that's the scarier prospect. ]

[narangerel]

[Sarnai appears to be considering this. And then sighs out, before fiddling with one of her earrings. Her hand lights up when she does, too.

And then she speaks--slowly, carefully, to try and ensure her enunciation, but she does speak!]

I don't...understand anything you're talking about. But you said people...were in danger? Then I'll help.

[fujimaru]

Ah--

[ Of course this new Saber can do magic. It's barely a blip of surprise at this point, there and gone again. Ritsuka places her hands together, palm-to-palm, fingers spread. ]

Yeah, it's kind of weird. I don't always get all of it myself.

But we're all trying to do our best here, so -- thank you for your help!

[ She bobs down low in a half-bow, then tilts her head to look up again, without straightening from that position. ]

--I'm Ritsuka, by the way. Uh, usually you guys introduce yourselves when you show up.

[narangerel]

My name is Sarnai.

[Huh. Wonder what she's from. But she does tilt her head a little bit--birdlike. Always so birdlike. Why is a buster gorilla so cute?]

Ritsuka...it's nice to meet you, Ritsuka. I will do my best.

[fujimaru]

[ Even Buster gorillas can be cute...!! All of Ritsuka's Servants are cute, though some are more obviously so than others.

She pops back upright at that. Somehow, no matter how many times she's done this, there's always a Moment for her right when she receives that acknowledgment and acceptance. It's exciting, and she's only a little embarrassed to admit it. ]

Yeah--!! Thank you, I'll be in your care, too!
