1st Code [Action] [Warning for Fate/Extra spoilers in comments!]

[Action - 505 Ricardo Street]

[Hakuno practically jumps out of bed when the alarms blare out across town. Alarm floods her first... but then, confusion. It seemed like just a second ago that, with adrenaline still pumping through her after the final battle, she had reached out, fingertips an inch away from the the Moon Cell...

... And then she woke up here. But... where was here? Was this some other construction by the Moon Cell?

Only one way to find out! She slid out of bed, exiting the room and looking around. Is this... someone else's house?]

Hello? Is anybody here?

[Action - Outside]

[Some time later, Hakuno is dressed and outside, looking up at the midnight sky, inky-black and dotted with stars.]

Huh... I almost forgot what this looked like... [Her voice doesn't sound wistful or contemplative of anything like that... she's simply stating a fact. She was so used to the strange digital sky surrounding the school, or the harsh artificial sun of the various levels of the arena. But this... this was different.] ... Considering everything, though, I guess that doesn't really mean much.

Wha-- No! I don't want to fight you again. [It was hard enough the first time. She's not sure if she could go through it again.] I didn't want to fight you in the first place...

[Yeah she's... really upset over that thought. WAT DO.]

Geez, you're going to make me feel bad about all of this.

[ SPOILER MAYFIELD: Rin Tohsaka actually does have a heart somewhere in there. ]

Come on, it's too cold to stand outside for this kind of conversation.

[Hakuno has avoided physical punishment for hugging Rin Tohsaka and even got to see her deredere side, all within the span of a few minutes. If this had been any other time, she'd probably be in awe of how lucky she was right now.]

... Yeah, it is. Um, I woke up in a house right over there...

[ BRAG ABOUT IT IN YOUR INNER MONOLOGUE ALL YOU WANT, PROTAG. Rin can't read it ~~or can she??~~ ]

You just woke up? [ Huh. ] So you're new. I just thought you were oblivious and stupid. At least this puts you back in a better standing for now. Let's sneak back inside and have a chat in your bedroom. I don't know who your parents are, so it's best if they lack any knowledge of my presence.

[Ah, deja vu... it's comforting, in a weird way.]

Sure, let's--

Wait. My... "parents"?

[ Congratulations on being the first person to truly appreciate Rin's cruelness. ]

Yes, your parents. I'll explain everything when I'm not freezing. I might have to huddle with you under a blanket and everything at this rate.

[ So is she going to lead the way anytime soon? ]

Right... here, the house is the one right over there.

[She hasn't really done any wandering, so 505 Ricardo is only a few buildings away. She leads!

And is mostly oblivious to any non-practical thoughts cuddling with Rin might bring. It probably would be nice, though, as long as Rin isn't on maximum tsun the whole time...]

Great, let's go.

[ There's no hesitation in the girl bolting towards the house. Maybe she should exercise a bit more caution, but if she did just arrive, what was the most damage she could do? Pull Rin's hair? ]

Hey, you said you beat me right? Does that mean you're a magus? No, you said 'we'. So that means you must have been a Master? 'We' meaning your Servant and yourself, right?

That's right. [Hakuno was used to going to the other girl for help, so having it be the other way around was... strange, to say the least.] Saber and I... [Her smile fades a little, both at the memory of her Servant and the memory of their fight.] We had no choice. I couldn't just back out of the fight...

Saber..

[ Excuse you Hakuno, but Saber is her Servant. Someday. In a route she doesn't get to experience. ]

Naturally.. I just can't believe I was beat. That means I should actually view you with more respect than I would with any new blood here.

[On the inside, her face is like this]

[But on the outside, her light smile returns.] I'll try not to do anything to ruin that respect, then.

[ She gives you less than ten minutes. ]

Right, right. Come on, let's hurry.

[S-Such little respect.]

Here we go... [She steps into the house, holding the door open for Rin.]

Saber was here earlier, so you don't have to worry about sneaking around.

[ Listen, she got away with a hug. Even if Rin will proceed to bitch about said hug for a week straight. ]

Thanks. [ Stepping in, she'll rub at the side of her arms to try to warm up. ] Saber was? Really?

[ Moving in on her dream Servant already. ¬.¬ Weirdo works fast................. ]

So what did Saber tell you about this place?

[Oh just wait until you hear the way Saber talks about Hakuno...]

Yeah. She didn't tell me much... [Considering they were both too busy crying and clinging to each other.] Just that this town is called Mayfield, and we're all trapped here with no way out.

[She says all this as she heads upstairs, towards the bedroom she woke up in.]

[ The two of them will exchange words. And fists. ]

That's about all she told you? That doesn't seem like her to be honest, but maybe she thought it better if you heard it from a more educated source such as myself. [ Bounding into the bedroom, Rin will waste little time in plopping down on her bed as her seat. ] Well, guess I should get the bad stuff out of the way. Whatever made you special is gone, you're completely human now and if you die, chances are you'll just wake up the next midnight with nothing wrong.

[hot]

... It's strange. None of that really surprises me. I mean, the only thing that should have set me apart from a normal person was my status as a Master... but there were a lot of them, so I never really felt special. And seeing you again kind of dulled the shock the death thing. [She goes to take a seat next to Rin.]

Is there anything else?

[ Get that jello ready!! ]

Wha-? [ A lot of them? That's incredibly strange to Rin as she tries to think over it, the confusion of the situation starting to overpower her. Between the lack of sleep she's had and the loud sirens in the background, the whole thinking thing is becoming a challenge. ] Seeing me again..

[ With that, she gives a sigh. ]

I guess I should get the least disappointing news out of the way. I'm not who you think I am. Well, I am Rin Tohsaka, but I'm not at the same time.

[Awwwww yeeeeeeah]

... What to you mean? [That would mean that she's the real Rin, right? Not the digital avatar, but the one in the real world. But... she'd still be the same...] You look and act exactly the same. How can you not be Rin?

Because until a few minutes ago, I've never met or seen you in my entire life.

[ How she can even say that in as calm of a tone as she can is unbelievable. ]

I don't even know why I let you hug me.

... Oh.

[It's such a stupid reaction, when something like that is dropped so suddenly. But... she doesn't know what to say. To see Rin - someone she came to greatly care for - alive after dying at her hands, only to be told that she's not really her Rin... it's like ripping open a fresh wound.

She seems to deflate a little, and it takes her a moment before she can look at Rin again.] But... you look like her. Sound like her, act like her... how can you not be Rin?

It is as I say it is. I'm Rin Tohsaka, but I'm not. [ With a sigh, she places her hands back behind her and the other girl, only to lean back further on her arms. ] It's complicated, but seeing as you're a Master, you might have heard of the Second Magic. It focuses primarily on parallel worlds.. so I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm Rin Tohsaka, but I'm Rin Tohsaka from a different world.

[ A pause. ]

Sorry about pretending earlier. It's pretty cruel of me to do that. I was too preoccupied with trying to get as much information as I could out of you.. because after people find out, they tend to shut up. Then I never get to hear about all of the things I might have done in a different place.

[She shakes her head, pulling her knees up to her chest and resting her chin on them.]

No... it's fine, really. It's my fault, for thinking the dead can come back to life. I know it's possible here... but everything happened back home. Things don't work the same back there. [She turns her head so she can look at Rin more easily.] Even if you're not her, you're still really similar. And it's okay if you don't want to, but... I'd like if it we could be friends.

[ Rolling her head to the side to look her over, Rin feels a bit of guilt for dropping this on her. Maybe it would have been better for both of their sakes to just act it out, pretend that she always had someone who cared about her, and that maybe she could actually have a friend here. ]

People who are dead.. they show up here too. For example, my Lancer killed himself to save the life of another Rin Tohsaka, but he's here. So you shouldn't be surprised if people you thought were dead come back. [ Heh. ] Maybe the Rin you like might show up instead. If she had you as a friend, then she must have been something.

[ Maybe, Rin thinks to herself, she can show up and replace herself. Then everyone here would be better off with a different variation and she wouldn't have to worry about hurting anyone else ever again. Kicking her legs in an idle manner, she forces herself to continue. ]

You don't really want to be friends with me. I've never really been good at that. Arisato-kun tries too, but I don't treat him well. Shana-chan as well.. she tries, but I never really do anything for her either. Rider.. Sakura.. Shirou.. all of them too.
