I. Text
[ The situation is overwhelming. Maiya had never expected to wake up again, never mind in such a foreign environment. As surreal as the space around her was, she would have nearly thought this were an afterlife she had never considered—at least, until she finds the pamphlet. Her situation may have seemed fantastical, but the wad of cash tucked inside and the note telling her to get a job were anything but. The hologram waiting for her seems to confirm that thought, but it does little to clarify that matter of how she could be here.

Left in a completely unknown, impossible situation, she has nothing to fall back on but the most basic impulse engrained in her: she has to contact Kiritsugu. There's no reason to imagine he'd be here as well, or able to see whatever message she sends out, but she can see no other first step but to try. They already have a code for situations not unlike this one, should one of them ever be captured and unsure of their location. ]


hanged man

[ There is one thing she doesn't mind about her situation. Text communication can't give an unwanted listener clues about her location the way radio can. ]

II. Action (Genessia City)
[ Maiya doesn't wait for an answer after sending that message. She's still moving on instinct, and her instincts say she needs a change of clothes. Part of that is an irrational impulse born of her last memories, telling her that her position has been compromised and that she needs an outfit not immediately recognizable by her enemies. And, part of that is because her clothes are covered in blood.

So, if you're lucky enough to have chosen this particular day to shop for clothes in Genessia City, you may find yourself approached by a serious-looking woman dressed in equally serious-looking clothes, her face utterly stoic despite her jacket being stiff with her own blood. ]


Pardon me. Do you know much about what's in-fashion here?

[ She needs to look unremarkable, okay.

Later in the day, once she has something new to wear, you might encounter her stuffing her bloody clothes in a public trashcan. Because that's normal. ]


III. Text (Anonymous)
[ It isn't until she's had some time to process her situation that she tries to address the general population of of Genessia. There's much she needs to come to terms with, but— ]

Is there anyone who remembers dying before arriving to this place?

[ That's the subject that weighs most heavily on her mind. She still isn't sure what to make of the discrepancy between her own experience and the language of kidnapping. But, maybe those who have been here longer can lay her thoughts to rest. ]

Unfortunately not.

My condolences.

( He easily acquiesces to her, parting his lips and gliding his tongue against hers as they have done many times before. There's nothing she can do to prevent the tears from streaming down his cheeks, having convinced himself this would never be a possibility again, but the kiss does serve to muffle the sound.

Mentally, he is by no means stable, but having her against him in this capacity does help him calm. Calm enough to pick up his feet, to continue leading her up the staircase.

Once they start down the hall, it's not long before he's pulling away-- albeit reluctantly, when they reach the door of his room.

A part of him has to be thankful that the house is seemingly empty, in this moment, unable to bear the thought if Shirou were to hear him like this. )

Seriously, FUCK KIRITSUGU!!

That's good to hear!! ( Obviously not that she's dead, of course. But!! ) Too many people arrive here after death feeling as though they lacked fulfillment in their lives, so I'm glad it's not the same for you!

( Her brothers made life fulfilling for her, even if she couldn't stand for them to see her suffer. )

He sends an image to check for mutual interest.]

You're probably not suited for job I was thinking of just yet, but should you want to know how to handle one, stop by the Bunny Poof Cafe. It's in Nova City.

We do need a Barista though.

Sort of. In my case, I sacrificed myself to protect the people I cared for. And now, for better or worse, I'm here. Why do you ask?

If it helps, I'm just as metaphysically confused by the whole thing.

( For all his faults, Kiritsugu is at least, considerate of her. Shuffling her past the door before he walks inside, himself, and closing the sliding door shut behind him.

The privacy does make things easier on him, in a sense. He's no longer beholden to the same restraint he was prior, leaning into her hands with no inclination to resist, and trying to embrace the sensation of her skin caressing his own. It's hardly a good moment, but. If she were happy-- happy to see him, then perhaps he should try to return this in kind. Not that it was something he deserved. In his mind, it very much wasn't. But he was capable of feigning this, for her. )


I never thought I'd see you again.

( His words come out in a muted sob. That much, for him, is a confession in earnest. He hadn't. But the rest? The initiation of contact, the grip of her shoulders and brush of his lips against hers, this time. It's an act all very forced on his part, one meant to contain himself, for her. And in spite of himself, he gently leads her towards the futon. )

Yes.

[He has no idea what's going on, but that's a simple question to answer. Who wouldn't like them?]

I suppose I could say the same for myself. I wasn't unhappy with my life, but I never could stand to see others suffer on my behalf. Dying was the kindest thing I could have done.

( Which... makes arriving here feel like a slap on the face in some regards, but she wasn't about to say that. But it was easier, at least. She needn't worry about her inexplicable death, anymore. )

That's an issue a lot of people have. Trust me, nobody really remembers how they got here. I don't really like to think about how it all works. For your sake, you shouldn't, either.

Consider it more of a spiritual 'kidnapping' than an actual one. That won't help your question much, but it make things a little easier to understand.

Considering where I was when I was taken here, I don't think there'd be room for someone to carry me off.

Then I am glad for you.

[She had been as well.]

( He had every intention to just undress her-- himself, but easily pulls away from her face to wordlessly help her out of her blouse, showing little care for where it falls to the floor.

It's not long before his hands have wandered to the clasp of her bra, though, hastily working to undo it, even as he is now pinning her against his bed. )

( He was prepared to go through with this, mechanically as he was, mustering past whatever hesitance he had left by peeling away her bra, exposing her bare chest to the air. It's an instinctive move on his part, to immediately skim his hands downward, palming the weight in his hands and tweaking her nipples between his thumb and index fingers.

For as much as did want this for her-- the warmth spreading through his chest threatened to overwhelm him, to remind him of a time long past. To feel her, so tangible in his arms like this, he... )


Let me take care of you, Maiya.

( His words come out in barely a whisper, resolved to say them in Iri's absence. No, he wouldn't cry. He couldn't, not again. Not while she was so happy. He's going through the motions in his mind again as a means to steel himself, and buries his head into her shoulder, nuzzling and pressing kisses against her neck-- perhaps prickling her with his stubble. )
