Summary: Waking up and exploring.
Warnings: Dumbness, SHOUNEN etc.


[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.

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

[So, the same name the other one had given him. This was likely to be the real one, unless Waver's luck was particularly awful.]

Did you just get here?

[casually dodging the question]

[The magus sighed, adjusting the sunglasses atop his head with a frown.]

Welcome to our little slice of hell. My name's Waver Velvet; I'm a magus of the Association, if that means much of anything to you.

[He'd at least assumed they were from a similar world, given Avenger being...Avenger.]

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2013-11-18 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's debatable. [He folded his arms, looking quite put out by the idea that he had to explain everything.] Do you know much of the concept of Second Magic?
fionnuisce: (speak to me)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2013-11-18 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Think before you get some half-baked hopeful illusion of us not being the last ones left from back home, idiot.

There are endless parallel worlds with equally endless iterations of individuals like you and myself. I know for a fact there's another Waver Velvet in this tower alone, for example. So while our worlds are similar enough to share the existence of a Mage's Association and presumably a Clock Tower, there's no chance we come from the same exact world.

You should deal with that the best you can and get it out of the way. Odds are you'll have worse to worry about around here before long.

Waver, thanks.

[Beat.]

...I'm aware this is kind of a longshot, but you're not from Fuyuki, are you?
fionnuisce: (it was your heart on the line)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2013-11-19 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
[he's just gonna be scrutinizing you very carefully right now.]

...Do me a favor and hold up your right hand, would you?
fionnuisce: (move along like i know you do)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2013-11-19 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Fuck. [He raised a hand to his head as though trying to ward off a headache--his own Command Spells were bright and active, though part of the design had faded like he'd used one.]

Which war were you in? You don't look or sound like you're from too far in the past, so I'm sure one of the early ones is out of the question...then again it's unlikely to have been the Fourth unless there's more Second Magic I don't know abou--

[Waver stopped abruptly once he'd reached the other obvious conclusion aside for parallel world hijinks, looking to Shirou like he'd just received some terrible news.]

Do not tell me there was a Fifth.

Son of a bitch.

[Waver pressed a hand to his face in blatant exasperation, muttering to himself for a minute.]

What the hell was that world's version of me doing, fucking around with Eskardos or something? Christ, I can't even rely on myself to do something right...

[He turned his attention back to Shirou, and oh boy if looks could kill.]

How long did it take? After the Fourth, I mean--how long was it in between the two?

Ten--goddamn it. I hate being right, I just fucking hate it sometimes.

[THANKS FOR MAKING HIS DAY WORSE, SHIROU.]

[Dare you ask any of the myriad questions his weird as hell acting or current muttering to himself has raised?]

I have been keeping a very close eye on Fuyuki for over nine years now. After the fucking fiasco that was the previous war, I thought I could find a way to prevent the war entirely, or at least dismantle the Grail before anything else happened.

At least I was before all this shit- [Frustrated, he waved a hand in the air to indicate the Tower] -decided to happen. Every bit of data I collected was pointing to something not entirely right, like it was preparing to start early. My plans had been to go straight to Fuyuki in winter and throw as many wrenches into the thing as I could, so to speak.

Looks like I--or at least the Waver Velvet of your world--either fucked up, missed the memo, or died in the previous war. And I'm not too sure which of those pisses me off the most.

That's because the Association's a mob of brainless fucking imbeciles. My interests are less in line with a bunch of self-centered bloodline purists and more in actually making sure nothing else catches on fire and no one summons a giant tentacle creature that would make Lovecraft sick.

[shirou does this guy really line up with your idea of the association at all]

[he's wearing sunglasses on his head for fuck's sake]

[you should re-evaluate things asap]

What--no, I was talking about Caster. Big fucking monster in the river, giant planes and shit flying around, not ringing a bell at all?

Wait...you're not saying you were actually there when everything went goddamned mental at the end, were you?
