Now that I've collected what I'd evaluate as the basics of this place and how it's run, I'm curious enough to ask for a discussion of general opinions rather than concrete facts.

Particularly, regarding the supposedly confirmed ideas revolving around the state of our worlds. While the evidence supporting our homeworlds' destruction is considerable, I'd still like to hear what people think. It initially crossed my mind that it could be a very well-constructed lie, and while that has become a very distant possibility I'm hesitant to discard it altogether. And if it is in fact true, what happens then? Do you think there is a way to restore the places from which we've originated, or are we fighting for a Pyrrhic victory at best?

And that's not yet touching upon the more clearly confirmed matter of our souls and the replica forms we're using in place of our original bodies. I'd imagine this has caused existential crises aplenty, but let's put that aside for the moment. If the administrators possess the technology or magic to create such close copies, how is it they can't simply take out original bodies along with our souls in the first place And if there is a way to restore our worlds, would you logically assume that includes our original selves?

You're free to answer if you like, or ignore me altogether. It's your own choice. I can't really picture this as a simple matter to talk about without inciting a sense of dread and misery, so I'll hardly be offended if everyone shrugs this off and pretends they never saw it.

[Waver, honey. I'm sure signing your name like that is simply habit by now, but you might give your younger self a stroke.]

oh yeah
that soul and body stuff
actually, maybe it's because zo can't move bodies?
he did say it was like taking a bubble out of a picture before a bubble could pop

[fionnuisce]

That's a difficult analogy. I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to mean.

[puppy_lancer]

i'm guess he might be taking our souls out
and just leaving our bodies to do whatever souless bodies do

[fionnuisce]

Die with the rest of the world, most likely. Operating under the assumption that that's what happens, anyway.

[puppy_lancer]

people can still go back to their old worlds though
saber did

[fionnuisce]

Do you know if she still had the collar there?

[puppy_lancer]

didn't ask

[fionnuisce]

Is she still around?

[puppy_lancer]

yeah
but she's not in the best of moods

[fionnuisce]

What do you mean? She's not the Saber from the fourth war?

[puppy_lancer]

she's from the fifth war
and
well would you be happy if you just got back after being in a wasteland for a week

[fionnuisce]

Good point.

Can you tell me what she looks like? I'd like to talk to her about it at some point, assuming she doesn't kill me for bringing it up.

[puppy_lancer]

she's blonde
golden eyes
short
you could say she looks like a kid from her figure but she really holds herself like an adult
dresses in black

careful not to mess her up with the other sabers

[fionnuisce]

Wait. The same Saber was summoned twice in a row?

Actually no, wait, I think that one had green eyes. What the hell, do they all look alike?

[You have no idea.]

[puppy_lancer]

yeah it's a bit strange
but not completely impossible

there's what
two sabers
who look almost exactly like the one i'm talking about
only they've both got green eyes
and there one other saber
who looks like my saber
that one is male

[fionnuisce]

I should probably keep better track of just how many Servants are running around here.

[puppy_lancer]

you gotta ask Ruler for that
i think there's at least one of every class here maybe

[fionnuisce]

Great. I hope you haven't all been at each other's throats for no good reason.

'Ruler'?

[puppy_lancer]

nah we've been pretty fine
mostly
saber and i trashed a part of the cafeteria but for very good reason

shes a special servant
the grail called her up to be the moderator for the grail war
mostly she keeps tabs on us

[fionnuisce]

Wait. What? The Grail called its own moderator? How the hell does that even work?

[puppy_lancer]

hell if i know
maybe it found the priests creepy

[fionnuisce]

Honestly, I might almost find that plausible.

[puppy_lancer]

yeah anyway she keeps us in order
she's not half as hard on the eyes as the priest from my war was

if you don't wanna go to her, you might wanna try finding waver velvet
i think some of use answered his survey

[fionnuisce]

And there's the next bit of irony.

I am Waver Velvet. Older than the one I assume you're talking about and from a different world, but we're basically the same person. So we've met.

[puppy_lancer]

wait what
i thought you were lord el melloi
