[ Summer!
Somehow, time continues to progress onward, and now it's another summer, another wacky situation they've landed themselves in. They've followed signs of what might be a budding Singularity (and how unfair is that, Ritsuka had complained in the privacy of her own mind, that there are still potential Singularities to resolve with everything else going on as well?!) to a beautiful deserted island. There are definite remnants of a society here: Chaldea's refugees have set up base in a village, weather-worn and old, but still functional and surprisingly comfortable. They aren't sure yet what is the actual cause of the Singularity, though Ritsuka has her suspicions about that they might have to do with the active volcano that lies in the dead center of the island...
Well, that's something to worry about later. For now, it's the usual summer madness: picking up what materials they can farm from the land and its native wildlife, a growing group of Servants strutting their new summer bathing suits, and a series of hijinks that, once upon a time, Ritsuka would have written off as too ridiculous to ever happen in real life.
Even if she knows better by this point, there's still the fact that she'd been at the beach with Mash, wading into the shallows with the idle desire to find seashells -- ordinary seashells! the kind that would make nice souvenirs and nothing more! -- when the summer squall had come rolling in. She's no stranger to abrupt changes in the weather, but it still takes her by surprise, the way that the clear blue sky goes dark in a heartbeat, and the rain comes sheeting down. Without thinking about it, she grabs Mash's hand and bolts for the little shack they'd passed earlier in the afternoon. They're both soaked by the time they make it inside, but at least the roof is intact. It'll provide reasonable shelter for the time being.
Ritsuka peers out through one of the windows, flipping her dripping bangs out of her eyes. Despite the general warmth of the afternoon, she's shivering a little. ]
Guess everything was going a little too well for once, huh...
