Characters: Irisviel Von Einzbern
Setting: Room 2-03 then everywhere
Format: Spamish.
Summary: Irisviel awakes in a strange place and then wanders the tower in search of answers.
Warnings: None.

[The night prior, Irisviel had fallen asleep safe and content in the second-hand dwelling that currently lay in use as a secret base of sorts. Safe in the knowledge that loyal servant and friend would protect her from any ill the world may send her way, it seemed that soon her dreams would soon come to fruition or so she thought . The next day she had woke up in a haze in an unfamiliar room. and, after regaining her balance, manged to find the letter that had been given to her by the admin explaining the place in which she had awakened and the apparent demise of her home world. Such news filled the homunculus with fear and dread, such destruction would mean the death of all those dear to her and the dream she had worked so hard to make real.

After a long time of crying into her pillow and trying to rationalize what had just happened to her, Irisviel collects what little wit she has left and leaves her room with the intent of finding someone who could answer her lingering questions and put her mind at ease. First poking her head into any floor that looked safe enough and politely calling to the emptiness if anyone there could help, she eventually settles at the cafeteria, tired and heavy eyed, staring down a plate of food that her tired and confused state seems to be barring her from eating, She eventually gives up on eating and moves on to greener pastures, quite literally in fact, as she finds herself standing in the middle of a great meadow. With no energy to move on, and no food in her stomach, Irisviel quickly lays down and finds herself lazily napping away the afternoon without a care in the world.]

There are. Not as many as there once were, but there are some. Have you been told much about the nature of this place yet? How it pulls people from different worlds and realities to it?

I've not yet heard any of that. I only know that my home has been destroyed and my family with it.

That sadly does seem the case from what we are able to tell.

[Diarmuid sits down in the grass across from her as he continues his explanation.]

However, do not let that cause you to lose hope. Even now we are fighting to find a way to fix everything. We are still gathering information, but it seems that while destroyed not everything is lost. You have arrived during a time in which much progress is being made to get us out of here and our homes restored to us.

Before I explain farther, can you answer a question for me? What is the last thing you remember before being brought here? What was the last encounter you had with me specifically?

Edited (Finishing your thoughts is always a good idea! X.x) 2013-09-06 18:00 (UTC)

That is good to hear. I will do anything I can to help.

[Irisviel cracks a small smile at the prospect that not all she loved would be lost forever to the past.]

The last I remember was moving into a small house my husband had set aside for use as a hideout. The last I saw of you was during the battle against Caster.

[Diarmuid frowns slightly. If this version of Lady Von Einzbern has come from a time before his death, then he needs to make sure not to burden her with the information. While it makes little difference here, he still remembers--though the memory is tinged with red and overlaid by rage--how shocked she had been when he had been forced to kill himself.]

Then you do not recall coming to my Master's base with Saber after the fight with Caster?

I really don't. I fell asleep in mine and Saber's hideout and the next morning I found myself here.

[Diarmuid nods, seeming relieved.]

If I am perfectly honest, it is best you don't remember Lady Von Einzbern. I am merely asking because it proves a point. Even though you will find people here who wear the faces of those who you know from your world, they are not those people. I come from a world very similar to yours, but I when I was brought here, the War had progressed farther than it has for you. Another who you may run into here is a version of Waver Velvet from ten years after the 4th Grail War ended. In fact, his version of the war went much differently than our own for he didn't summon Rider, he summoned a version of me instead.

I guess to put it more simply, if you have any familiarity with the concept of Second Magic, it is very much at work here.

It is hard to believe that a force as powerful as True magic would be at work in a place like this. The people who have kidnapped us must be very powerful.

They are. Very powerful. There is one Administrator in particular we are unsure if there is even a limit to her power.

[Diarmuid frowns slightly as he speaks. Ruana has talked of running out of power, but considering the amazing and terrible things she does on a regular basis it is hard to imagine a limit to her powers.]

There is so much here that is hard to understand even with a basic knowledge of magic and how it works. We learn new things everyday about how the Tower runs, who the Administrators are, and even what we are.

I will keep my ears and eyes open then for anything that seems out of the ordinary or that may be of use. As even if I'm am stuck in a place like this, I would still like to work towards fulfilling the dreams of others.

[A grateful look crosses Diarmuid's face as she speaks.]

We would be glad for your assistance, Lady. Often information only is found by a few people or only is allowed to be accessed for a short time. The more people who are gathering that information in the time it is available the better. I believe sharing our information and working together is the only way that we will be able to restore our worlds before time runs out. It is unfortunate that not everyone thinks that way.

[Diarmuid falls silent for a moment before smiling.]

Since you have only just arrived, you should know there is a version of Saber here. She is from a time far after that of the 4th War, but she is much the same now as she was then. I am sure she will be glad to see you.

That is to bad, there is no reason we cannot all strive together towards the same peace. I wish that everyone understood that.

[Irisviel can't help herself but to smile to as she hears of Saber's residence in the tower.]

This is very good news and I will be looking forward to seeing her again.

I will certainly mention you to her when I see her next just in case you haven't run into her by then.

[He pauses suddenly before quickly asking a question.]

Is that all right? I should not assume it is, but...

Is what all right? I'm afraid I don't understand.

My apologies for not being clearer.

[Diarmuid smiles a little sheepishly.]

I just was asking if if is okay for me to mention you being here to Saber when I see her next. I shouldn't just assume that you are okay with that even though I can see no reason why you wouldn't be okay with it.

I'm quite all right with your telling Saber that I am here. I imagine it will make it easier to set up a meeting between the two of us that way.

[Diarmuid smiles, though there is a bit of sadness in his smile.]

With how much time sometimes passes between when Saber and I meet, I truly hope that you and she have met before then. If it helps any, her room number is 3-17. I don't know how often she is there, but that might be your best bet to find her quickly. If nothing else, you could leave her a note there or perhaps in her mailbox asking for a meeting.

I will leave her a note regarding my being here and wishing to meet then. I imagine it would be for the best that I suggest the meeting rather then doing it via a second party.

I doubt she would ever question your intentions, but considering the tricks the Administrators have pulled on us in the past, that might be the best way. Who knows. If you do stop by her room instead of using the mail, she might even be there making everything easier.
