[ There must have been another feast. Word of it has traveled to her ears as well as talk for a hunt. Both are events that draw some concern, but don't affect her goals, therefore they are better ignored. What she could do is make an attempt to reach out to shardholders, old and new, and possibly make a bit of coin in doing so. That's why when she greets everyone, it's with a pleasantly polite smile and the decor of the Castle Mair behind her. ]

What a busy month. Are they all like that? [ She waves a hand as she speaks as if to brush off the topic. ] It may have gone unnoticed, but as the Master of Archer it's only proper to inform you that he took his leave earlier last month of this world. If he had any debts, you may approach me with proof of this and I will conclude his business.

Speaking of paying off debts, my workshop is ready to take costumers. My specialty is conversion magic as well as command over all five of the elements. [ Her expression is rehearsed and composed, much like a teacher addressing a class full of idiots. ] In short, I can do a number of things many others don't advertise they can do. It seems pointless to keep my status as a magus here a secret when the world is surrounded by magic. Though it would be nice to learn something useful like shooting a bow...

[ She mutters that last part. ]

Anyway, speak with me about what you want and I'll arrange to help you if I can. We can sort out payment, favors, and IOU's later, especially if you're new to this world. I'm flexible.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Ah- yes, I'm sorry, is that...an issue?

[That response is not exactly reassuring. He was just starting to think it would go well, but now...]

I swear to you that I intend no harm to anyone, and certainly not yourself.

[ It's an issue because Rin can't stop tripping all over these Berserkers. Now she's going to have to carefully determine his weakness and plan a weapon for him on top of her other projects. ]

No, it's just--sorry, that was rude of me, wasn't it?

I guess the first thing to do is to tell you that you're not the only Berserker here.

It's all forgiven easily. I understand, there is a certain stigma attached to the Berserker class. Rightfully so, truly.

[With that new information, he nods.]

I see. Then there is no doubt that further wars do exist... [More a comment to himself than anything.]

They do.

Are you familiar with the five magics-? [ The first, the second, etc. ]

I'm asking this to determine how much explanation I have to put forth in things before I catch you up fully, Berserker. I know it's tiresome, but I don't enjoy repeating myself.

I have a passing familiarity, yes. My Master is no magus, and so my knowledge is entirely based upon what little the Grail deems necessary. However, my threshold for new or complicated information is high, don't worry yourself too much about details, I shall certainly pick them up as you speak.

In my world and one shared with most who have the classification of Servant applied to them, there are five different magics--true miracles created, not like the magecraft we study. Second Magic involves parallel worlds and the traveling between them, among other things.

Here you will see plenty of it. An ally you know might be your enemy in their world. Keeping up with it is troublesome enough as it is without acknowledging the Fifth Magic, which is the alter of time and space. Someone who you may have seen died may be here alive, unaware of the death to come.

That is the situation we have here. A number of Servants who have come from different points of time.

[He nods again.] I gathered as much, insofar as varying points in time are concerned. The idea of a parallel world, however - do you mean to say, the outcome of one world may not, then, be indicative of another?

Correct.

As well as the events that have taken place and other minor misplacements of memory.

...You can't possibly imagine how good it is to hear such a thing. I have no way in which to express the extent of that elation. Thank you, for your explanation, truly.

[If there's even a chance they could still stop the war at the first one, he'll take it. If there's even a chance his Master will live, he'll take that, too. It's so much better than worrying he would come to kill the boy.]

Really-?

Most people really can't stand the thought of what I've told you. It seems to cause them more grief.

Certainly in another situation, it may well be troubling. However, like you, my Master sought the end of the Holy Grail War. As I was summoned to the first of its kind, discovering that multiple exist meant almost certain death for him. What's more, I understand your sentiments in being distrustful of my class, as I too fear what I may do, particularly to my Master.

And so you see, there is then some hope. Moreover, this was largely my true intent in contacting you, I appreciate that being fulfilled so easily, although you couldn't know it. Though I do lament this information should be unfortunate news for others.

[ In short what he's saying is she destroyed any hope he had... that feels rotten, but then he's speaking as if he's from the first. ]

You said the first, right? The First Holy Grail War?

Where was it conducted?

[At first she may have destroyed it, but thanks to her it's returned! Or at least, in part. And part is enough to keep from too intense of a worry.]

That's right. It is carried out in Tokyo. Thus far I have only come in contact with Saber, Caster, and Rider. If you would happen to know of any others - Master or Servant - from the same, I would appreciate if at the least, you would tell them I would like to speak together?

You'll have plenty of time to speak with the other Servants here. Most don't go out of their way to hide themselves so there's that.

… but if you need a good person to speak to about this, I advise coming to The Barrel. That's where I remain and well, who better to explain the situation? These lockets are sketchy and untrustworthy in my eyes so please understand why I prefer face to face communication.

Yes, of course. I apologise, the prospect of a chance to communicate in a neutral space - or indeed to communicate at all - has made me quite anxious. I fear I must be rude for it.

Nonetheless- I understand your concerns in regard to remote contact. And so The Barrel. Where would I find it? That is, if you truly don't mind my being there. I will remind you of your hesitation in hearing my class is that of Berserker. Should you therefore wish to avoid direct contact with me, I would never act against your wishes.
