Dark Rin & YOU!

►►► VARIOUS;
[ When Rin wakes up the morning of the first, she's left a gift as per her request. Surprised as she is to see it, she wastes no time in getting the film inside of the camera and visiting various floors. Rin starts at the top of the tower in her search to take pictures for her uncle, taking caution to travel to floors that he might not be able to due to his condition. The more dangerous the floor? The more likely one is to find Rin there. She shows no fear as she moves through with relative ease and should she happen upon a monster? Well, it's rare these days that a monster can stand up to her and should she meet her match, it takes seconds for her to be free of the danger due to the silent guardian that can be called to her side near instantaneously. Not that she's going to bother him when she's having such a great day admittedly. ]

►►► DORMITORIES;
[ Sometime in the evening, after she's spoken with Saber to find out what this place truly is and what she is herself, Rin can be found lurking in the hallway as though she's waiting for monsters to come for her. Not that they crawled among the dormitory corridors often, but if they were to come looking for her... well, she might greet them happily. ]

If it isn't mine, then why did they stay within me? [ She mutters out loud to herself bitterly. ] Why is it still there too?

[Lancer is on the floor, sniffing around like he's looking for someone. When he catches the familiar scent, he turns and gives Rin a greeting.]

Yo, you see anyone else come up here recently? Girl around your age?

[After watching that video, Waver spent most of the previous day in his room (shaking and crying), so a little after lunch time he finally leaves to find somewhere more...calming.

Normally finding Rin there might just make him turn right back around, especially after she left entrails in his mailbox. But then...she'd left something else there afterwards, didn't she. He had to ask about that, and possibly thank her if it was genuine. So, hesitantly, he approaches.]

...I didn't know you were into photography.

[Diarmuid has been wandering the dorm levels this night. There's really no purpose to his wandering, or if there is it's one not even he knows. His face is blank, eyes distant almost as if they're not really seeing the floors at all, but something else entirely.

Probably because they are.

He almost walks by Rin because he's so detached from everything around him, but something deep inside him pulls him back to the present and this place.

To her. This is something he can deal with before. It will be one less thing to think about then.

Without saying anything, Diarmuid drops to one knee near her.]

He said you were angry with me. I'm sorry. Tell me what I need to do to make it up to you.

[While his eyes are less distant now, they still seem very detached from everything as does his voice. All in all, it's almost an eerie change from his usual overly-emotional state of being.]

Wha-?

[ Her temper flares briefly not because of Lancer, but because of what she was mumbling to herself prior. Then to hear someone else was speaking on her behalf? ]

Who said that? I'll kill them for thinking they can talk on behalf of my wants and desires. [ She's not having a Good Day. Clearly. ]

I'm not, stupid.

[ At least she still greets him in a familiar manner. Take comfort in Rin's lack of manners as she pulls the camera away from her face with a frown. ]

What business is it of yours if I was into this sort of thing, hm?

... Were you just sniffing the air?

[ Sorry, did Lancer ask her a question? ] Are you hinting that I stink?

[Diarmuid frowns slightly, though there is an emptiness to it. Had the other servant really been lying after all?]

He called himself Archer and claimed to be your servant. I assumed he was the one you meant when we met for the first time. He tracked me down at my room a few days ago and told me that the last letter I wrote you had upset you so much you had written me a response full of anger and threats but fell asleep before it could be delivered.

[He finally raises his head to look at her.]

Are you all right, Lady? What happened? Why couldn't you wake?

[ Someone's just now leaving the floor with all the bloody handprints, screaming, and... white, everywhere. It's still not exactly warm in the tower, but he still looks under-dressed with a jacket, shorts, and ankle-less shoes. He would have walked right passed Rin without even noticing her if it wasn't for the flash of the camera. ]

Hmm? [ He turns around, still licking blood off his fingers. Was... was that what he was doing on that floor? ]

Ahah, do I have a fan? ✩ [ Licking his fingers again, before narrowing his eyes at her. Something odd about her... but he doesn't attack, yet. He hasn't had much reason to fight, but someday, someone will show up with a new Branch of Sin for him. Or he'll have to beg Wretched Egg to just make some more. ]

[He makes a face at her.]

Of course not. Well, no more than your usual Grail smell. I'm just trying to get her scent.

Shut up about that.

[ Glancing around with a look of paranoia in her eyes. ] I don't want anyone hearing... wait, who?

[ What is with everyone looking for people today? ]

[He stares at Rin for a moment, and then decides that it can't hurt too much to tell her the truth.]

My Master.

[It should come as that much of a surprise. He thinks he told her that he had one back in January.]

[ Rin often worked off of impulse and while it's true her letter was full of angry things, threats were her way of showing affection. Okay, fine, she was pissed. It wasn't exactly Lancer's fault as it were a combination of other things, but if that's what Archer did when she was asleep... ]

I suppose I have to accept responsibility for how he behaved. [ Waving a hand lazily as she continues. ] As for that sleep thing, well, I fell into a coma then died.

[ No point in mentioning the dreamscape or that Saber had been right. ]

If you have a pact, then why are you bothering with senses that can be dulled?

[ Stupid, she wants to add to that. ] Just focus on the spiritual link between you two and locate her that way.

Or do something that draws enough prana from her to be alarming. Using a Noble Phantasm might do it.

Oh, it seems I mistook you for a monster.

[ Lazily dismissing him with the tone of her voice, she looks off to the side. ] You were in the way. Are you planning to move or do I have to make you?

[He stares at her for a second, and the shakes his head.]

I don't have one of those. Not with her.

[A good thing too--given the way he liked to fight or to get killed.]

It's complicated.

Ugh, don't tell me you're one of those Servants that preach loyalty but refuse to make a pact.

[ Seems she's seen enough of those to be bothered by the concept. ] Do you realize how selfish that is? You can't be someone's Servant if they're unable to command you.

Which one is it? [ Rin has other ways of looking for magi. ]

[He gives an annoyed little growl, but he has to admit that she's right.]

She didn't want to make one.

[Or rather, both of them wanted to wait for their proper partners.]

And she doesn't have Command Seals either, if that's what you're thinking.

[Not his Command Seals, anyways.]

I mean no insult, Lady, but I think that one needs to learn to take responsibility for himself.

[For the first time since talking to her, emotion shows on Diarmuid's face. That emotion is distaste.]

He worries me. There were times where it felt almost as if he were testing me to see if I would make a suitable replacement or something. He cares for you. This I could tell, but...

[Diarmuid shakes his head, his distaste turning to concern when she continues speaking.]

What? What happened? Was it one of Ruana's games?

[He almost spits the woman's name.]

Are you sure you are all right?

Ahah, monster, huh... [ He seems more amused than anything. Maybe even oddly flattered. ] A lot of people would agree, there. ✩

[ He hops up on the side of the railing, playfully swinging his legs like a child. ] Hmmm... well, that depends. Ever since a holiday, I've had a really, really strong craving for a certain kind of blood.

[ And suddenly, he seemingly vanishes into thin air. She'd then feel a cold, coarse, almost corpselike finger on the side of her cheek. Sure enough, there he is, grinning crazily. ]

You wouldn't happen to have it, would you? ✩

[Kariya isn't having the best day himself. He should probably go to see one of his healers. His limp is more pronounced than usual, but his smile is genuine when he sees Rin. He greets her with a little wave.]

Rin, hello. It's good to see you.

[After all the big reveals, some people need to take the time to mentally recharge. Hakuno is one of those people. She's sitting at the edge of the lagoon, careful to pick a spot far away from where the mermaids may be lurking, dangling her feet in the water. She looks lost in thought - and boy, did that information Feferi gave all of them give her something to think about - that she didn't notice Rin was nearby until she heard the click of her camera.

Glancing up, a look of curiosity crosses her face.]

... Rin? What are you doing?

... Considering something.

[ Mermaids and Rin aren't on the best of terms. After what they did to her Uncle, she discovered it was pointless to torture them as there was some power around them that kept her own at bay. Since her death though she has been considering how to deal with them.

She didn't even realize she was on this floor until Hakuno pulls her from her trance. Looking over towards her slowly, her breathing grows erratic. ]

Why are you on this floor?

[ Having already disposed of the camera by this point, she has nothing to hide from him when he makes his way slowly towards her. ]

Hello Uncle Kariya. [ There's no real emotion behind her voice tonight. ] Do you need help in getting somewhere?

[ Somehow Urotsuki finds herself on this floor pretty often. Maybe since it reminds her of that one area in her dreams. But staring at the fish is something she never gets tired of, either way, so she's just standing there as oblivious as ever..

.. But for once she does notice something from the slight flash. She slowly turns her head only to find the girl there. Slowly Urotsuki blinks, recognition kicking in. ]

You.. were in my dream. [ Well, not that it was just her dream, but Urotsuki can hardly tell the difference. ]

[ Lancer moves too fast for her to keep up with and so she slows time in her mind by replaying everything he's said. Where does she begin to address his questions? His concerns? Exhaling slowly, she begins from the start. ]

I said I'll accept responsibility for how he behaved, so that's that. A Master who can't do that much for their Servant is pathetic and I'll not stand her while being insulted. When it comes to testing others, maybe he is like so many of the others here. There are those who can't trust easily, so what good Servant wouldn't question the motives of another Servant around their Master?

You haven't formed a pact with anyone in this tower, have you Lancer? His concern is only natural.

[ There's an obvious lack of answering about games and whether or not she's alright. ]
