☠ 005 | you said we were born with nothing

Characters: Avenger, 'Shirou' and OPEN to all.
Setting: The graveyard on the forty-eighth floor and the hundredth floor.
Format: The exact opposite of Kotomine Kirei's lovingly composed monologues.
Summary: 'Shirou,' on his way down to the cafeteria to do his regular job, comes across the evidence of Rin's departure, and also Archer's disappearance as well. He's not happy.
Warnings: Typical fare for the Tower of Animus such as mentions of death, the destruction of worlds, and sadness.

[ SCENARIO A || FLOOR 48: OUTSIDE ]
[ This was a floor of pointless mausoleums, open graves, and fields of unattended gravestones. Some of the names littered on the headstones he recognized and knew—llya, Sakura, himself. He came by here every morning on his way down to the cafeteria to see them, and that routine never varied. 'Shirou' didn't leave flowers at their graves; it seemed a paltry gesture for failure to keep them safe and well. So, normally he would stand there and talk a little about random things. Saber, the food being a lie, what information they had found out, a video game he'd played in the media room.

But when he came down this morning, there was an unexpected new name among the graves.

Matou Rin
, carved into the stone like it meant nothing at all. Like it didn't mean the magus was now in terrible danger, from Ruana's power-sapping to supply the Tower now that the power cores were running out. Like it didn't mean there was now another girl roaming the desolate, destroyed land of the world she came from like so many others. Like it didn't mean another failure.

His knees suddenly seemed too weak to hold him up, and he sat down hard on his rear in front of the gravemarker, one small slab of stone with a polished surface and scratched edges in the lines of gravemarkers stretching out like small, gray pittances. Shirou sat there and rebuked himself, feeling hollow as he thought about Rin, wandering alone in the ruined landscape of her world. And also thought more angry thoughts about how he was going to make the administrators pay for this injustice.

And that's how any nearby passerby's will find the teenager.

[ SCENARIO B || FLOOR 100: THE HOLOGRAM ]
[ For those of you who don't give a shit about 'Shirou's little episode of upset—a Servant is slowly pacing about this floor, late within the depths of night. He seems to be vaguely confused.

His back is turned towards the staircase, his face turned away from it. It looks like he's trying to figure something out;

There's a table here! [She waves an arm widely to indicate it.]

[ This is hilarious. ] Is the table invisible then? I sure ain't seeing anything there.

You're a stupid, blind idiot that doesn't even realize how stupid he is!

[Just going to. Zoom into his personal space, yeah.]

Maybe someone should take those eyes of yours out and give 'em to someone who needs them, since obviously you're not using them!

[ Haha, no. Leaning right back into her personal space too, shoulders squared and not backing down. ]

Your eyes aren't working right themselves! Seeing tables where there aren't any tables... At least mine actually function, lady! Maybbe you should donate such useless eyes to a local charity fund. Why, I heard the circus is always willing to accept hapless lumps of meat.

I tried to find another way for this thread to end, but they've forced my hand!!

[What if she slaps him with one of her wings? Because that's what she tries to do.]

I'll make you into "useless meat"—!

I'm actually sitting here cracking up at this whole thread

[Obviously, this only serves to irritate her more, so she proceeds to throw danmaku everywhere, because she is a super mature 1500-year-old youkai. It's not a particularly focused attack, though the projectiles do inflict spiritual damage...]

[She follows his movements, chasing after him even as she continues to spray bullets everywhere, relying more on the density of the spread than anything. She isn't sure what she's going to do even if she does catch him, though. Shake him, maybe? That sounds cathartic, if not a particularly adequate punishment.]
