I'm telling you, I need to go back to save her from whatever he plans to do with her!

[Pictured: One ginger-haired teen yelling at the side, his right hand holding the phone which is pointing at himself, his left hand is cut off from the screen, though.

Not pictured and heard: The person he's arguing with.

Got that? Good, because that's exactly what you're seeing right now.]

...

What do you mean I'm in love with her? She's just an ally right now!

[There's a frustrated sigh as he then turned his head to face the camera, left hand dropping down right as he does that.]

Er, sorry about that, a-anyways, uh, they called us here to be heroes, right?

[The teen looked awkward about this.]

I would love to help, but I'm in the middle of something bigger right now, so if you guys can point me back to a plane ticket to Japan, it'd be great-

[And then he raised his left hand, showing a tomato, as he just glared at it.]

I told you, she's not my girlfriend!

[...Uh, before the 'argument' has a chance to continue, the teen is going to just. Cut off the feed because he's pretty sure he's now painting the first impression that he's actually a nutcase.

And before you ask, yes, that earlier person, was in fact, the 'tomato' he was holding just now.]

Emiya, you shouldn't speak so disrespectfully to your food like that. [ Ufufu. ]

Is the tomato jealous of your "not" relationship with the carrot or are you dating something that lasts a little longer?

[ Don't worry, it'll dawn on her soon enough. ]

[steelminded]

T-tohsaka, it's really not like that!

[Don't worry it hasn't dawned on him either-!]

[gandere]

Oh, I see. You're not really into carrots then?

[ Trying to think of something lewd. ] Donuts? No, that's not right either...

You might be finding this out already, but it's not as simple as taking a plane.

[A beat, and then, in genuine curiosity:]

...is having fruits and vegetables talk to you a usual thing for you, or is that something new the 'Porter did?

video

[steelminded]

Why not? This place is just America, isn't it?

[dumb remarks aside-]

...About that, I think it's an entirely new thing for me, I'm afraid.

video

[xxii_thefool]

[She just kind of nods a little, like that explains that.] Something the 'Porter did, then. She has a weird sense of humor.

This is... well, it is America, but it's the America of a different world. Even if you go to Japan, you won't find the people you're looking for. Not until Lachesis sends you back to your own place and time.

[swordedpast]

I see.

[Hey, look, Shirou, guess who's come to greet you! He looks totally calm and composed.]

The strain of arriving in a new world was too much for you.

You've cracked at last.

[He looks like he's on a rooftop right now. As a matter of fact, he's been glowering and brooding there for an hour, since seeing this post. That's how he's able to look calm and composed.]

video; pretend it's before he spoke to Tohsaka-

[steelminded]

Archer, where is Tohsaka-!?

[Because blaming a guy who just betrayed his Master upon arriving in this place is the brightest thing to do.]

video;

[swordedpast]

[Oh.

So Archer is in fact the "he" Shirou mentioned so ominously in his post. He sort of suspected.

Well, time to take advantage of it.]

Hmm. I'm not sure.

You might need to fight me to make me remember, Shirou Emiya.

[After all, if he's really done something terrible to Rin, the only thing for it is to fight Shirou to the death. Even if it won't accomplish his goals here. It'll at least break his ties with Rin and make her stop chasing after him here.]

[soulbonder]

Why are you yelling at your food? [weirdo]

audio;

[steelminded]

...Because he won't drop the subject.

[...he... fails to see anything wrong with this?]

[soulbonder]

Why would a tomato be concerned about your girlfriend?

[luckout]

[w o w ok this guy is clearly a little off his rocker. But Vriska's always happy to dash peoples hopes and dreams about leaving. So have a grey-skinned, white-eyed girl with candy corn colored horns all up on the screen!]

Don't tell me you actually believe a place that human-napped you from your world.

[steelminded]

It's only natural to help someone in need, right?

[if it isn't clear, there is only one thing Shirou Emiya could be.

And that's a dumbass.]

[luckout]

They're lying to you! Why else would they drag you here against your will to be a "hero"?

[Complete with quotation talons and everything when she says it.]

You're basically a prisoner that can't leave this universe. Get used to it.

[psychomancy]

Erm. Well. [give her a second to process] That is a common issue when people arrive, but I assure you, you've nothing to fear about missing out on something back home.

[steelminded]

I've heard that a lot from the others, but it's really important for me to save her-!

[...at least this time his tomato is quiet...?]

[psychomancy]

[good job tomato]

She will be just fine until you return, I assure you.

[bonermagic]

Wait. How the goddamn fuck are you he- was there another age thing I missed out on? Again?

Dirk Strider.

You shouldn't pursue that line of conversation.

[steelminded]

...If I've been here before, I'd certainly remember it, you know.

[just saying!!!]

Video

[promised_victory]

[There's a fumble. Yep. Saber almost dropped the phone when she heard Shirou's voice. It's her first time actually using the network, forgive her.]

Shirou?! You're here?

Video

[steelminded]

[after being infodumped by Tohsaka about this place in another place, Shirou at least doesn't seem surprised at Saber's presence.]

...Yeah, I am.

[Right, small talks.]

What about you, Saber? Have you been doing well?

NOT HERE

[god_damned]

[ But staring at this video.

Well, staring at the name attached to it, more like -- and the responses. ]

[Somewhere in MAC, he felt a chill down his spine for some reason.

Eh, it must be his feelings, right...?]
