chapter 1

[action - 769 Bunker Street; 7:00 AM]

[The death was too sudden. Too quick. Too unexpected. There were far too many plans for the Tohsaka family, and Akasha still needed to be reached. While Tokiomi had made sure to give his family insurance through one of his daughters, that didn't make him any less irritated. Being pulled from the clutches of death was a shock to him, and at first he believed that it had to be some feat of thaumaturgy. It was only after careful experimentation and analysis that he realized this world did not follow the same logic his own had. So had he jumped dimensions or realities? Impossible for him to do alone... Could it have been the work of one of the magics? Perhaps the Grail had done it? Whatever the case may be, Tokiomi is up bright and early, making sure the house is in proper line by whipping the drones, and any player characters, into shape. Barking orders was never his strong suit, so he's just waking everyone up and commanding them in his sly way. After a few hours, Tokiomi decides to take a reprieve and use the phone.]

Kotomine Kirei... your betrayal will not go unpunished. Should you be within the same realm as I upon the current time, do not leave your back open as I foolishly had done. As to any of you out there who understand the term 'Magi', I require an immediate meeting with you at my address. We have much to discuss...

What about people who think Magi are dumb?

I keep hearing about more of you Mage's Club people showing up here and there's too many already.

I bet you'll even form your club all over again here.

[brokiomi]

I have no use for those kinds of people.

[tsukihime]

You guys always think you're better than everyone else.

Assuming you even are a Magi.

[brokiomi]

There is a difference between thinking and knowing.

[tsukihime]

See? That's what I'm talking about! You've pretty much confirmed everything.

Anyway, this conversation has just been me being dumb. What I really wanna say is you Magi just stay out of trouble. This place is weird enough as it is.

I'll be keeping an eye out.

[Which is really mostly just...empty threats. She's not even sure how many magi are in Mayfield...nor where they are.

Like she pays enough attention to really do anything, anyway...but he doesn't need to know the airheaded-ness that comes attached.]

[brokiomi]

Us Magi seem to have a penchant for trouble finding us, so to follow your demand would be a difficult task. Still, I am not about to rush out and jump headfirst into danger so you should rest easy knowing I have no need for a babysitter.

[tsukihime]

Good, make sure it stays that way.

I already had enough to keep an eye on and now I keep hearing people talk about Magi all over the place.

I guess these things are kinda my responsibility, and I won't hesitate to give some beatings to keep things in line.

[brokiomi]

Your responsibility?

[tsukihime]

Kinda. I guess I feel like I need to make sure stuff from my world is kept in line or something.

Unless you're from a different world that uses the term "Magi." I guess that's possible.

[brokiomi]

I'm not sure if we are from the same world or not, but taking on such a responsibility sounds like an unnecessary pain.

[tsukihime]

Well, there's a lot of stuff I guess I have to deal with.

I mean, I have to deal with the Dead Apostles and stuff all the time...but I don't really have that here so I might as well make sure everyone behaves.

I don't want anyone from my world making all of us look bad.

[brokiomi]

Forgive me for being frank, but I have no intentions of being policed.

[tsukihime]

It's not really "policing."

It's more I'll slap people around a bit for being stupid and hope they learn.

[brokiomi]

I suppose that is one way to teach the ignorant.

[tsukihime]

Works pretty well, all things considered!

Though some people insist on being stubbornly ignorant.
