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!

[So usually when a new Servant emerges from the summoning circle, they materialize standing in place. Musashi, on the other hand, springs from the swirl of rainbow sparks in a dramatic leap, goes right into an awesome forward roll, and comes up from that with an elated fist-pump.]

Yes! Got away clean! Yeesh, I hope shopkeepers are more into bartering in this world . . .

[fujimaru]

--?!

[ Yeah, there's a system to the system, which by now, Ritsuka is mostly accustomed to by now.

So it's really only sheer lucky chance that she manages to scramble out of the way, tripping over her feet until she hits the wall, wide-eyed. Whoa, whoa, what, wait, huh?! That voice-- ]

Y--you?!

[udonist]

Me! --Wait, you? No way! I'm not in one of your dreams again, am I? Thought if you are dreaming of me, that's pretty flattering.

[fujimaru]

Trust me, it's definitely not a dream this time!

[ They're in Chaldea, which is about the safest place for her to even be, barring any sort of cheating world-ending scenarios. She flaps her hands for a moment, though that slowly tapers back down to stillness. ]

So you really were a high-ranked Saber after all...

[udonist]

I guess so! I still don't think I sound much like those Heroic Spirits you told me about, but coming here got me out of trouble with the law, so I owe you one. Consider my sword yours!

[fujimaru]

Really? That'll be a great--

[ Wait. Wait a minute... ]

[fujimaru]

What do you mean, trouble with the law... what did you do this time?

[udonist]

Well, I stopped into a little restaurant for a meal, right? But the owner was really stubborn about taking a sword guard as payment. This was a world where the lawmen carried guns, too, so I was really sweating there for a bit.

[fujimaru]

Even after all we've been through, you still haven't learned about keeping actual cash on you, huh.

I'm gonna guess you probably had a class disadvantage versus those cops. But don't worry, I won't make you deal with those. Except I guess when it's a mixed-class battle, but we can't have everything...

[ Ah, the number of troublesome Servants has increased again... ]

[udonist]

Hard to worry about cash when you're not sure if it's gonna be accepted in the next world you wander into!

And you're already saying a bunch of stuff I only half-get. Saving the world sounds complicated--except wait, from your story, it sounded like the saving was already done. I didn't show up too late to be useful, did I?

[fujimaru]

I mean, technically, but...

[ But also, call it meta awareness, which would surely be a passive skill for a mobage protagonist. She shrugs. ]

We're kind of in limbo right now, but you know. No rest for the wicked.

[udonist]

Oh, yeah, don't I know it.

[She laughs, shrugs.]

So c'mon, show me around! I'm excited to actually see this Chaldea of yours for myself.

[fujimaru]

Yeah, yeah. After all of that, you're probably hungry too, huh?

[ She pushes herself off from the wall, offering a hand. ]

Welcome to Chaldea, Musashi! I'll be your guide today.

[udonist]

[Musashi grins broadly, taking Ritsuka's hand.]

Definitely. Can we start with the mess hall? Please tell me you guys have udon here.

[fujimaru]

Better than that. We've got a guy who stress cooks as a hobby.

On top of that, he's actually really good!

[ She squeezes that hand and tugs. Off we go! Time to accost an NPC Emiya and force him to do their bidding. ]
