Round One [COMPLETE]
NO SUPERHUMAN POWERS; SEARCH THE GRASS, BUSHES, TREES, OR THE RIVER ITSELF
This appears much like the story you may remember reading--an old woman crouches next to a gate, searching through thick, wet riverbank grass. Thick fog coats the area behind the gate, across the river, and perhaps twenty feet in either direction from where you stand. Going into this fog, you feel, would be extremely dangerous--possibly suicidal. Eventually the woman stands up. She is missing all the fingers on her left hand and the little finger on her right hand.

"Please, could you help me find my fingers? I'm missing six of them."

It doesn't look like you have a choice.

Round Two [FOUR FINGERS REMAIN]
SUPERHUMAN POWERS ACTIVE; SEARCH ALL PREVIOUS AREAS, BRIDGE, LAWN
This appears much like the story you may remember reading--an old woman crouches next to a gate, searching through thick, wet riverbank grass. Wait, this has happened before--welcome to round two. You didn't find anything last time, and that's why you're here now. The fog remains, but it's drawn back a bit--travelling to the bridge, a simple wooden structure, is now possible without entering the fog, and the gate opens into the lawn of a house. The house itself is yet covered in fog, but there's a doghouse and the lawn itself to search through. Going into the fog still feels impossibly dangerous.

Eventually, the woman stands up. She is missing all the fingers on her left hand.

"Please, could you help me find my fingers? I'm missing five of them."

It doesn't look like you have a choice. All wounds remain from the previous round. Anyone killed last round returns, but they have a scar that reflects their manner of death.

Confidence is not bad. Being impressed by yourself means you did not believe you were capable of it. Different ends of the spectrum, Rin.

[She looked over and smirked.]

And how would you 'help' me with that?

[angramaintsu]

Loosening you up? I suppose you'll just have to think more creatively, Saber.

[ It'd be crude to say it out loud with the other guests here. ] Geez, there really are more people here than I'd like. Can't I will them out?

[scorchedchivalry]

I believe we both know who wins in those particular creative thoughts.

[Nah, nah, nah, Rin doesn't get to top~]

Given this dreamscape is not your creation... No.

[angramaintsu]

[ She could if she wanted to! ]

Tch, how annoying. It'd be in poor taste to flirt with you in someone else's world, so we'll just have to keep our banter to ourselves. Still, I wonder who created this. The admins?

[scorchedchivalry]

[Rin can just keep telling herself that if it makes it easier for her to sleep at night. Saber does reach out to run her fingers down a bit of Rin's hair, fingertips briefly brushing Rin's jaw in the process.]

You'll have to settle for this then.

And I believe this is the work of Ruana.

[angramaintsu]

Just this?

[ Even if it would be nice to pillow talk it up with Saber, she zooms in on the topic change. ] Ruana though. I'm not sure if I like her.

[scorchedchivalry]

[Saber just smirks before Rin grasps the new subject.]

She is pitiable, but her sadism is greater than Jason's as I do not think she realizes her games are not enjoyable.

[angramaintsu]

I think they're a lot of fun.

[ Of course Rin would. ] This is pleasant. A vacation away from Archer and all of those other pesky distractions.

[scorchedchivalry]

[Only Rin. Saber has that pesky chivalry she has to follow.]

Do you really require the Administrators to rid you of your 'pesky' distractions? It is a good thing you did not list me as one of those.

[angramaintsu]

When I'm awake, I...

[ She stops herself suddenly. That's too personal for Saber. ] Well, I'm easily annoyed. That uncle of mine is always pestering me, then there's the Lancers... ugh, I just wish they would all go away.

[scorchedchivalry]

Then tell them to leave you be. You should also know your uncle's Servant is now present in the Tower.

[angramaintsu]

... that beast is here?

[ She should have felt him enter, but the floor she visits now to rest. It's peaceful. Archer brings here there often and Rin just naps the entire time. ]

Who allowed that monstrosity in this place? No matter, we should dispose of it quick before my uncle thinks it a good idea to renew his pact.

[scorchedchivalry]

No. I will not interfere in that, nor is the madness much of an issue with that Servant any longer.

[angramaintsu]

I don't care.

[ Rin doesn't handle being told "no" very well. ] I don't need your help in getting rid of a Servant.

[scorchedchivalry]

And ruin your precious image to your uncle? He seems to believe you are incapable of such acts.

[angramaintsu]

What of yourself? Do you think I'm incapable of handling the situation on my own?

[ She can deal with keeping it from her uncle. ]

can I steal that icon?

[scorchedchivalry]

I do not think you are incapable. I just do not believe you will get the result you want.

yes, of course B)

[angramaintsu]

This tower doesn't seem to have placed a limit on my abilities. I can easily do what I please with him. Make him disappear without a trace.

thanks~

[scorchedchivalry]

I would rather you not.

...as tempting as the idea of not having the deal with him is.

[angramaintsu]

Don't tell me you think he could be of some use to us here. All he'll do is further hurt my uncle.

[scorchedchivalry]

My thoughts on the matter have nothing to do with your uncle or this Tower.

[Because he was her knight. Her fallen knight she drove insane...]

[angramaintsu]

... Tch, if that's what you want.

[ And only because it's something Saber wants. ]

[scorchedchivalry]

It is. [She half bows her head.] Thank you.

[angramaintsu]

You don't think he's going to form a pact with my uncle again, do you?

[scorchedchivalry]

Their pact was still intact upon his arrival. They do not need to form a new one.
