[Room 01-12]
[He had been reading the letter. Well, to be exact, reading and re-reading it. Were it not for the fact that he was attuned to Weird Shits™, he might've had a worse freakout compared to his current silent reaction. Those who were in his room when would notice that the first thing he did after his sleep paralysis disappeared was to check the trunk he was provided with. Or he could've conversed with you, but either ways that was how he got to reading his letter.]

...This, isn't a joke, is it...?

[Unfortunately, you are now saddled with the task of explaining things to him, or don't. It's all up to you.]

[Dorm Floors]
[That mess in his room over and done with, Shirou now takes to exploring the tower, or at least, the area he could reach without getting lost. Which is why he's now around the dorm area, looking apprehensive at everything around him and still having a confused look on his face. If you happen to run into him here, don't be surprised if he starts asking questions at you. Or...]

...Oh, er, sorry, I wasn't looking back there.

[He might've just bumped into you.]

[Floor 1]
[Like any other new residents, Shirou was forced to eat that... thing everyone dreads eating the first time around. Though, he's done with it surprisingly quick as after finishing it, the first thing he does is to hit the kitchen. Those around the area would find him coming out later with whatever meal that could be cooked with this week's ingredients, and him eating it. While he doesn't grumble, you can definitely hear him saying something like-]

At the very least they could've given us something edible to start us off.

{Want to meet him somewhere else? Just throw me a floor number and scenario and we're good to go!]

[ c: Shirou looks unhappy. Good. He's not going to help with that at all.

Said mockingly; ]

You had luck on your side, Emiya Shirou. Guess everybody else [ Iilya, Taiga, Sakura, Rin, Issei, everybody. . . ] didn't. How sad.

[ In a more serious tone of voice, knowing perfectly well which train-track his mind was going down; ]

Why were you the only one to be saved anyway? A shoddy excuse for a hero of justice can't really do anything to help the people here. [ A beat of silence. ] In cases like this, people would say stuff like "fate has it in for you," wouldn't they?

[steelminded]

[...He knew his name. He hasn't said it to him but he knew his name. And that... last sentence. It's... as if he... knows him intimately (but he doesn't). It was weird and unnatural and yet that sentence was...

No. It isn't. He'll save everyone here, then. If he can't save everyone back home, then he'll save them here.]

I'll save them.

[...That's Shirou Emiya for you.]

Who are you, really?

[sixbillionsins]

[ Avenger's smile is gone. Right. That was a question to which he had utterly expected that foolish answer. He'd forgotten how much that thankless way of life irritated him.

Stupid moron. He had his everyday life and yet. . . ]

Of course. It's only natural for an idiot like you to recuse the people in need. But you have no guarantee of success. How are you going to go 'bout it?

[ He chides him: ]

This ain't a situation where you can just sprout off naive shit like "I'll save them" without backing it up. Making declarations like that, seriously get real.

[ His head tips to the side for a second before straightening up again. ]

Who, me? Why, I'm Avenger.

[steelminded]

[Avenger. That's a name he's never heard of, and yet he continued spouting off about how he needs to 'get real' and face reality. And then what? Give up? Live and suffer in pain in his last days?]

I won't know until I try.

[Even if it's futile, he'll try fighting back. No matter what.]

...Avenger, right? Don't talk to me as if you know me.

[destructiveprinciples]

[ No, he's saying don't talk about saving anybody unless Shirou knows how the hell to back it up, which has absolutely nothing to do with giving up or living in pain. He rolls his eyes. ]

'course you don't. Just gonna run at the problem full-tilt and smash your head into it, is that the game plan?

[ Hypocrite. Avenger rarely bothers to come up with decent plans himself. He has no real right to scold Shirou over having no idea of how to save everybody when he's only been here a couple hours.

Pffft. ]

I'm not under the impression you can order me around. Make me.

[steelminded]

[Guy's right in that front at least. He's not going to nod in affirmation to give him the satisfaction of a response. And well, he'd expected just as much from him when he got the response to his order. Which is why he's going to just turn tail and start walking away.]

I don't have time for this.

[destructiveprinciples]

[ > how about no getting away now is too easy.

Shirou turns around and walks away from the Servant, but unfortunately, he's right behind him, tagging along on his heels determinedly. He wanted to figure out which timeline he came from before he let him off the hook. ]

Hey, don't be a stick in the mud.

[steelminded]

[He's going to try ignoring him, but knowing this guy, he's pretty sure he's going to just bother him the whole way through his walking around. Just great, first hour in and he's met a really bothersome person.

Giving Avenger a side glance—]

As I said, I'm not in the mood for this.

[thirdbestmurderer]

[ He remains undeterred by Shirou's annoyance and attempts to ignoring him, continuing to persist in following him around. In response to that side-glance: ]

I don't care.

[ More pointedly: ] I bet you don't even know your way around yet anyway.

[ do you have any idea where you're going other than away from the bothersome person, Shirou? ]

[steelminded]

Of course not, I just got here.

[Fine, be that way, he's going to just head to the elevator yeah this is a good idea clearly.]

[thirdbestmurderer]

[ Well, he will then!! He'll be that way all he wants!1 ]

Yeah, I figured. You're on the dormitory floors right now—the rest ain't as safe.

[ There is no way this can go badly, no siree. These two in a small, enclosed space. ]

[steelminded]

Is that so?

[All the more reason to get away from here, to try and find out just what the hell this tower's about.]

[destructiveprinciples]

Yep! [ How close are they to the elevator.

Because Shirou's on the verge of discovering Avenger likes to chatter when it comes to unimportant topics. ]

The people in charge have this really morbid idea of what interior decoration should be, I guess.

[steelminded]

[really close. `he's going to regret this` is the summation of the elevator trip tbh.]

At the very least it doesn't come with spikes.

[hah, spikes.]

[destructiveprinciple]

[ yeah a series of regrettable choices he can even phrase through the door if Shirou thinks to try and shut the elevator on him. ]

[ ah, spikes. ] Aha, there's always the possibility in this shithole.

There's this one floor where they have clowns that tie intestines into ballon animals, you know! [ he gestures animatedly with his hands as he talks, following after Shirou . ] And killer mermaids. Plus all those creatures roaming around like mutant mice in a silo.

[steelminded]

[as much as he wants to blot this guy out of his ears, he can't help but be a bit interested on the... kind of things he just described.]

Really.

[actually no he's just too damn skeptical.]

[destructiveprinciple]

[ he huffs!! gosh rude? ] Not gonna take my word for it?

It's not like it'd be that hard to show you.

[ Don't ask Shirou, he's actually offering to take you down to one of the more heavily monster-infested floors and punt you inside for an hour or two to personally 'show' you. ]

[steelminded]

Sorry, I don't travel with strangers.

[If you think it's going to be that easy Avenger, think again.]

[destructiveprinciples]

Aww, well. Too bad.

[ It was worth a shot!

.... We assume they're at and/or inside the elevator by now. ]
