Room 1-16

[ So that was it? The only explanation that Shirou got from such a terrible event was that the obvious? How could his world have been destroyed?! Everything was supposed to be okay wasn't it? Everything was supposed to be peachy keen and the world was meant to go back to normal. Even with one hand on the side of his head and the other clenching the letter trembling, the young Magus still couldn't believe it. He needed more answers... and that's where the other letter came in. It explained where it was, and most of the mechanics of how this "tower" worked. While the initial letter was left behind in the room, the other was folded up and placed into his pocket. There was a long period of staring at the floor with angry eyes before the trunk was checked.. and he found exactly what he was looking for. The same wooden sword that had been used many times before to defend his life would serve it's purpose once again. After a few practice swings, sword clenched tightly in hand, Shirou left the room and decided to do some exploration of his new home. ]

Floor 48 - Graveyard

[ Shirou's first stop was the graveyard on Floor 48. If his world really had been destroyed, maybe there would at least be some sign. There were many names that he didn't recognize, but one destroyed grave did perk his interest. Curiosity drove him to analyze the object utilizing Structural Grasp Magecraft and eventually utilize Projection to repair it... and the name on the headstone would cause him to freeze in shock. The name on the headstone wasn't her true name... so it was instantly assumed by Shirou that she had been a casualty of this "world destruction." Still trying to process this information properly, Shirou's eyes refused to leave the name "Saber" upon the stone. ]

Floor 24 - Empty Room

[ After the events in the graveyard, Shirou could be found with his wooden sword in the empty room practicing some swings. The wooden sword was reinforced and some practice swings were being performed. This was some kind of alien world that had the power to destroy his own (or so he assumed), so he needed to be prepared both in body and in mind. ]

Dormitory Floor 1

[ It was about time Shirou relaxed, so you'll find him heading back to his dorm room while tapping and scratching at the collar around his neck with a disgruntled face. ]

[He specializes in piercing hearts.]

Ah, she must have been a good woman then. Wish I had more cute girl Servants in my War.

I would've really liked someone like her in my War then. So which class was she? I'm curious.

[He runs a hand through his hair.]

A beautiful female Saber. Must have been quite a sight.

[He taps his chin.]

Now that you mention it, we have two female Sabers here. Different Wars, of course.

At the very least, there's no Grail for use to fight over. Most of us Servants don't go out of our way to try to kill each other either. So stop worrying so much, kid.

[He tsks his tongue.]

Oh come on. Worry too much and you'll give yourself gray hairs. Most of the fighting that happens here is friendly. You'll mostly need to watch out for the experiments.

Yeah, experiments. Pretty much a new one every month, and not very pleasant ones at that.
