WEEK 1

[bathymetric]

Well, you've now met the brains of the operation, as well as the shockingly nice-looking young lady in charge of day-to-day business. Now all that's left is to get used to your accommodations - there's 24 other people in similar shoes to yours to meet in this building, you know! And who knows how much longer you might have them...

The daily routine in the facility quickly becomes obvious - the only way to tell time moment to moment is to check the strange device The Professor gave you, but at the same time every day the lights in and out of the facility go up, and at the same time every night they go down. Otherwise, it's almost maddening sometimes, how little happens in here. At least you have a few rooms with enough to hopefully keep you occupied. Who knows what secrets they might hold? And there's always that vending machine, if you can find something that fits in the coin slot...





MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
FRIDAY | SATURDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Peace Week! Enjoy it while it lasts. Remember, office hours for The Professor's Assistant are over here if you're interested, while regains can be deposited over here! ]

My hair isn't bleached.

[ She squints. Why isn't his profile more helpful? Hers practically blows everything about her right into the open. Ugh!! ]

Sorry, it sounds like you're mistaking me for someone else.

[blackmass]

[bruh.]

Are you not Rin Tohsaka?

[mouflon]

I don't know. Who is Rin Tohsaka to you?

[blackmass]

[Why is this week getting steadily stranger.]

Perhaps I should question the reverse--who is Kirei Kotomine to you?

[mouflon]

The Overseer. He's an NPC created by the Moon Cell in order to administer the Holy Grail War.

Of course, the Moon Cell creates its NPCs using the records of existing people. Interesting, right?

[blackmass]

...I see.

[He did not.]

But if that's the case, would you not be in the same situation? I myself am a very real person, as is the 'Rin Tohsaka' with which i am familiar.

[mouflon]

Nope. I'm a participant, which means I'm as real as can be.

[ Hakuno Kishinami is an outlier and should not have been counted etc etc ]

[blackmass]

That makes little sense, if what you say is true.

[mouflon]

Would it clear anything up for you if I told you it's 2033?

[blackmass]

No, and in fact that would complicate things severely.

[WHY]

[mouflon]

Come on, try to have a little imagination! [ She's kind of having... fun? Even if, logically, she knows he has never done anything to annoy her. Just his NPC clone. ] What makes you think there's only ever been one person named Rin Tohsaka?

[blackmass]

[what's an imagination]

Looking practically identical save only for the hair color? The odds are astronomical.

[mouflon]

Well, I didn't say there was no relation. You'd be surprised what personal styling can do, though.

[blackmass]

Clearly, I would. Regardless, it is safe to assume that neither of us is the person the other thinks we should be. Is that correct?

[mouflon]

Something like that. I mean... I was talking to Birkin earlier, and he said something that made me wonder. It wouldn't make any sense for the Kirei Kotomine I know to be here, so it stands to reason that you must be the original he was modeled after.

[ So, for her part, it turns out he is who she expected; she just has no idea what that means. ]

[blackmass]

I am, in fact, the only Kirei Kotomine I know of. Which in turn raises many questions of what kind of place it is you've come from, as well as why another would have been modeled after me.

[mouflon]

Who knows? You'd have to ask the Moon Cell. It clearly didn't have approachability in mind when selecting the Overseer.

[blackmass]

I'm deeply wounded.

[mouflon]

Somehow, I doubt that.

[ And yet, she smiles. ]
