[VIDEO]
--ike a mirror…
[The feed comes on to show a young Asian woman frowning into the camera, or at least in the direction of the camera. Actually, it’s pretty obvious that she isn’t doing this intentionally, in fact she jumps a little at something—maybe at her own image in the corner? Her brows knit further as she leans in again, eyes focusing everywhere other than the camera. Yep, she has no idea what is going on right now.]
[Something catches her attention off camera, her head jerking up and focusing somewhere above the feed—and then everything is moving before going still and dark…]
[…except it’s still recording.]
[Hello Genessia~ you’re currently tucked inside her kimono…]
[ACTION//around the Bay]
[Tomoe tucks the strange mirror-glass into her kimono and finally places the necklace around her neck as every piece of information she can find states the importance of it. She is moving along the streets outside of the Bay, her posture ridged and eyes somehow dazed and wary at the same time.]
[She can’t quite convince herself that she isn’t dreaming, but she can’t convince herself that this is real either…]
[And more than anything else, there is the overwhelming feeling that she has forgotten something important, and it is at the fringes of her mind, just out of reach behind a white veil.]

[She side eyes him a bit when he claims it to be normal--but then again the clothing he was wearing suggested as much. She shifted where she stood and clasped at the front flap of her kimono out of nervous habit.]
Somewhere called... "Genessia"...
[Aaaaand she nearly jumps out of her skin at a passing vehicle
because apparently there are streets and therefore vehicles? They were in my other thread so I'm going with itbecause HOLY GOD WHAT IS THIS LOUD HORSELESS CARRIAGE THING OR IS IT SOME KIND OF ARMORED BEAST WTF!?!?!]Re: [Action]
[Oh hey, it's a car! And it's driving on the right side of the road. So they're clearly not in Japan or Britain. He turns to look at Tomoe...who does NOT look OK.]
Huh? Hey, are you all right? Did something happen?!
[Action]
[She looks jerkily between Shirou and the road several times.]
That... Did you not see...?
[HOW ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT THIS!?]
Re: [Action]
[Shirou looks back toward the road. She didn't even know what a car was? What was going on here?]
Was, uh, was that your first time seeing an automobile?
[Action]
'Automobile'...?
Re: [Action]
Re: [Action]
Re: [Action]
The first automobiles came out of Britain and America. But they came to Japan soon enough, and several Japanese businesses grew to the point where they became worldwide market leaders in the industry.

There... there is nothing of the sort in either Kyoto or Edo...
Re: [Action]
It sounds like we come from different points in time...somehow. I come from the year 2004.
[Maybe he should elaborate about how he knew?]
Almost 150 years ago, Emperor Meiji moved his throne from Kyoto to Edo and renamed the city Tokyo. That's how I figured it out.
[Action]
This is maddness...
It was Genji 1--[1864]--I do not know what you mean by 2004.
[She frowns.]
Tokyo...? Why would the capitol move...?
Re: [Action]
[Time to think back to history class. What was that analogous to, again?]
...About 140, 150 years later...I think.
And...I don't remember why he moved it. Maybe because it was more convenient? I think Tokyo outgrew Kyoto by then...
[Action]
[Canned response is canned, because how does one process this sort of thing? She doesn't have the benefit of any sort of interdenominational time-warping magic in her world to predispose her to something like this @_@]
Re: [Action]
Let's move the topic to something else. Oh, I never introduced myself, did I? My name is Shirou Emiya.
[Action]
[She hesitates a moment before giving her married name, just because... well, it's complicated]
Tomoe Himura...
[ooc; normally do Japanese order, but we'll match this way ;)]
Re: [Action]
[Shirou offers a bow.]
And thank you for the help you've given me. I'll have to find a way to repay you.
[Action]
Likewise, Emiya-san.
