[Currently on the network is one woman with a scarred face and long pink hair. And boy does she ever look annoyed.]

Stupid thing...is it working?

[She stepped back, blue eyes narrowing before a bright smile broke out across her face.]



Hah--! This is quite the development! Can anyone hear me, or am I merely recording my words alone here? [The implications of being entirely on her own didn't seem to bother Rider one bit.]

'Your world was destroyed'...So, some kind of system crash? This must be where deleted data gets shoved off to, right? Doesn't look like any part of the Moon Cell I've seen yet, though...

[The woman shrugged and shook her head, crossing her arms.]

If anyone's hearing this, call me Rider. If not, I suppose I'll make this my new logbook.

The same way they shove prana copies into identical solid bodies that don't need Masters to power them.

[In other words, he knows the result, but not the details of the process.]

[hellburner]

...Alright, you got me there.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

[He shrugs.]

Maybe someone who's been here longer can give a better answer. I know there's a blonde woman with pointy ears who knows a good deal about the collars.

...But even she doesn't seem to know too much about us.

[hellburner]

Yeah, I was just about to ask. Violet ain't really my color--kinda clashes with my hair.

[Sigh.]

Figures. Nothin's ever easy.

[He runs his fingers along his own collar and wonders if he should tell her his theory. That the collars somehow allow the administrators to do Third Magic.]

You said it. But hey, it's not like you really have to fret about the details here. Not unless the administrators are being assholes and pulling their experiments.

[Shrug.]

Bring it on. I can live with it.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

Oh? Pretty confident, aren't you? I like that!

[hellburner]

Flattery won't get you much, blueberry.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

Hey, it's not flattery if it's the truth.

...Lady Red.

[hellburner]

It's still not gonna get you into my coat, ponytail.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

Maybe not right now.

[The chase is also part of the game, and it seems this lady is gonna make it pretty fun.]

Hourglass.

[hellburner]

You're not my type, ladykiller.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, but you might be mine, Data Queen.

[She wasn't really an ice queen. Not with the red and her cheerful personality.]

video

[hellburner]

You seem like fun.

Don't make me shoot you.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

I'll try hard not to.

And you watch out if I ever try to take your heart.

video

[hellburner]

I'd need to have one first.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, don't you? Or do you have some sort of personal skill that lets you move around without one?

video

[hellburner]

...You take things far too literally.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

That part about taking hearts goes both ways. I'd rather not have to do it the literal way.

[He had seen plenty of things capable of moving around without "hearts" in the Tower. He himself had Battle Continuation, which let him last a short while without one.]

But then again, not like we have any reason to jump down each other's throats. No Holy Grail here.

video

[hellburner]

Yeah? Sounds pretty damned boring.

[puppy_lancer]

There's other stuff to fight. Of course, if you absolutely have to fight a Servant...

[Wink wink nudge nudge.]
