Action

["Have I... Have I lost?" it rings through her being, albeit with a blur around the edges of her memory. a sense of dread, darkness, her faults all coming to a head as if the 'truth' were being presented to her. even as Saber reached for that which she wished to seize in her own two hands, she sank further away while a voice beckoned her deeper.

"Don't bother."

as a hand threatened to tear her away from her wish, she was overwhelmed with an uncharacteristic rage, prepared to stop whatever...whoever would dare get in her way of obtaining the Holy Grail. it all happened so fast, and before she could lay eyes upon whoever called out to her from the abyss, her vision was rendered pure black. no more voices. if anything, she felt literally nothing. that was...until a few moments later wherein the knight went through the traditional motions that any newcomer to this world went through.

Saber woke up, albeit in a minor daze before she was quick to regain her wits, armor once ensnared in corrupted veins once again shining with brilliant silver and azure accents. she barely even registers the weight on her chest as she holds it by her side while she retains her footing.]

Where am I...? Who was— [it was then that she felt her chest tighten up, a gloved hand rising up to it as the hairs on the back of her neck stood up on end. that's right! she was doing battle with that black Assassin while her Master was facing- no!] Shirou! [her instincts kicked into high gear as she was quick to burst out of the bay with great speed. ...nearly passing by the hologram of a white-haired girl that addressed her. normally a lot more composed, the only thing coursing through her mind was that Shirou was in danger, and that she was failing him as her Servant. to protect him.]

... .... .....

[Saber listens, albeit reluctantly at first with a furrowed brow and tightened lips. while she wasn't unfamiliar with being called forth from different points of time, such was the nature of a Heroic Spirit recorded in history to be called forth by a worthy mage. as a Servant, they gain knowledge of the world around them to better fit in, but none of this... none of this made any sense. she felt a sense of dread in how she couldn't feel Shirou's presence. there was no connection. no contract. ...she was, in Weiss' words, "kidnapped" and no longer a participant of the Holy Grail War. in a way, she truly did lose. even though she would be relatively "safe" here, this was from what she wanted. and if she had any potential say in the matter, she would find a way back to her Master's side, to protect him and fight for the Holy Grail together. to discover the origin of that shadow that twisted the battle beyond comprehension...]

Shirou... I swear upon my oath as a knight, as your Servant... [her eyes hold a new resolve, her composure regained while she steeled down that disturbing feeling she'd felt moments before waking here] I will find you again.

[with a brilliant flash of light, her armor disappeared off of her body. though she was no longer in Fuyuki, let alone the same world, something was anchoring her here without disappearing. departing from the Bay area, she no longer had the appearance of an armored warrior, but a young girl finding her way.]

Video

[it doesn't take the blonde newcomer long to read through how this new device of hers worked, albeit this was far more advanced than most of anything from even Shirou's time. but there is a brief bout of fiddling as the camera comes on to the bright emerald gaze of the a young girl blinking at the screen.]

Ah. So it's working. [a brief clearing of her throat]

If anyone can see this, my name is Saber. Though I understand that we are kept relatively safe here, there is someplace that I need to be.

Even though I have only just arrived here, I ask if there is anyone I may seek out who can help return me to my world. [she raises a hand to her chest, briefly closing her eyes before speaking again, not a single falter to be found in her tone] I'm sorry if that is a tall task, but it is important.

[there is strength in her words, yet deep inside, she harbors doubts. maybe this 'Weiss' woman carried more answers beyond what the hologram told her. with so little to work on, it only made sense to start from the proverbial bottom]

Threaded | Flat

Why the fuck are you named after a weapon?

[This probably wasn't the greeting she was hoping for.]

[INTERNALLY: S C R E A M I N G!!! Screaming purely good feelings for sure.

She is so, so, sooooooo relieved and happy to see her. If she'd be one of those easy to cry in front of other types, she'd be crying right now. But she's not, so she'll keep that and everything else to herself under some cool and calm as ever face that she's showing right now.

Whatever's going on back home, especially because of some things that are going on back there, she's surprisingly not rushing out of the door as soon as she sees her. She'd want to, gosh she'd want to rush there more than anything (except Shirou's arrival here, that's something Rin can't compare to anything though before seeing this she was hoping for Shirou and Saber to wake up here!)

... But no, she's trying to stay calm instead of doing that. She's here, she's away from that horrible bitch but that doesn't mean .... much nor do those words give her much of a clue of how she feels about seeing Rin. Only one way to find out if she's not going to rush there with her full speed before checking it. So, video on with a friendly enough and polite looking Rin there.]

Hello. Saber.

[NAILED IT.]

[Rin beat him to it, which is not surprising. Archer is a lot more cautious in greeting her.]

Saber. Welcome to Genessia.

That's... an odd name. Sort of reminds me of a friend of mine who uses an assumed name to distance herself from her real name for various reasons. If that's the case, just keep in mind nobody's going to pay too much attention to who you were here. If not you can just ignore me.

I tend to talk too much. As for returning home... we've been working on that for several years with little in the way of progress unfortunately.

[ Would it be any surprise that there were vampires here? She doesn't have an answer that would be any different than ones already given, though. ]

I'm afraid little progress has been made on that front. I do know that it's possible for this place to 'decide' to send someone back... And to the moment we were pulled here to begin with.

Relatively safe is the word here. We have a big gap of nothing happening, then a few days to a week or something.

[Takeru smiled slightly before giving a small wave.]

Hello Saber. Interesting name I must add. My name is Takeru.

[Fai was walking his Pokemon, of which he had quite a few and the reason for the walk was to clear his head and hopefully figure out the creative block he had been under for a while now baking wise. So far most things he had tried were not exactly the most successful. But he had hopes for the plenty of walks he would go on.

But so far he still seemed very much unlucky in that area. With a small sigh of defeat, he found himself pausing by the Bay, silently looking over as he secretly hoped to spot someone he might have known there. but instead, he spotted someone he didn't.

Might as well be polite.]

Hello there. New arrival I take it?

If you can break down the barrier, that seems to be the only way.

[The guy at least tries to see if anyone would actually attempt it.]

Hello! [ Ardyn's face flickers across the screen and he has a charming smile to his lips, soft, kind, and gentle. He hadn't a lot of conversations himself since arriving, but it appeared to him thus far no one has quite managed to get themselves home.. or perhaps if they had they've not dared to broadcast a way, rhyme, or leave any bread crumbs behind for the rest of them to follow. ]

My, would that you obtain such knowledge I do so hope you share with the rest of us before you wander off back to where ever it is you had come from!

If there was any way home, I'm pretty sure I would have gone already.

[Lucky gives her a sympathetic smile over the video feed, kicked back in one of the planetarium seats between shows.]

As it is, I've been here six months already.

[For several minutes, Rip's just.. quiet. For her own reasons.]

Sorry to say you're stuck here. Besides, who in their right mind would want to leave paradise?
