「ɢᴀᴍᴇ」

[ Because

SOME ASSHOLE is currently blowing through her prana pool for some reason, Rin decides to entertain herself by tinkering around on the network. That and she's been so bored lately without Shirou slaving around her apartment that she has to make an attempt to reach out to others one way or the other. ]

I'm bored. (⑅ ‘﹃’ )
You're bored.
I have an idea.

There was a website launched a few decades back where people would post a photo of themselves on the Internet.
Actually there were a number of sites of that nature, but the purpose of this one was different !!
People would vote on a scale of 1 to 10 on how HOT they were based on the photo chosen.
So if you've got the balls, you should post a pic and have people vote !!
BTW since I'm such a cool person, I made it so you could reply to people who vote.
I guess you could also post anonymously if you're afraid of the repercussions, but I'll know who you are ♡

[ TL;DR this is an in-character rating meme. Link a picture or post one, then have characters vote on a scale of 1 (ugly) to 10 (SUPAH HOT FIRE) and deal with repercussions. Spam away all you like. Rin can't actually tell who posts anonymously, but it's fun to threaten people. EDIT: Also if your character wouldn't post, feel free to say a NPC or Rin did it while making it look as if they posted it themselves. ALL THE MORE FUN. ]

[Gross conversations on the network. Inconvenient. But then again, Natalia doesn't know how to have fun.

Regardless, she sighs faintly and switches to private-]

Archer gave me the gist of the situation.

Though I'm just as uncertain, if you're suffering from a depletion of energy, they are at least symptoms I'm familiar with. It would hardly be harmful to try mending your state.

[ Once she does switch it to private, Rin makes sure it's secure. No one's breaking into her private conversations. ]

Then you understand his condition.
My problem will end when he's taken care of.

Unfortunately he seems to think I can help him.
I probably should have told him from the start I was ill fit as a Master for him, but he seemed confident in my ability.

He's an idiot and won't allow me to heal him.

His reasoning is something or another about respecting you but this is the most asinine form of respect I've ever witnessed.

[there's so much sniping going on here]

But he cannot dictate what you request of me. Would you like me to try at least restoring your stamina?

If you can heal him, you may as well just wait for him to message you back.
Because I guarantee that he will.
So if you'll just wait for that, it'll be good.
Thanks.

[ Which means now she's in a bad mood because of a third party being dragged into the drama that is Archer and Rin learning to deal with each other.

Now she knows why Archer is always in a shitty mood!! It's cause his Master is a shit herself. ]

[You're all absurdly dramatic and she's getting utterly fed up with it.

But that's fine. She can wait for Archer. Whatever. THE POINT HERE THOUGH-]

But what about you?

[Because as uncouth and difficult as Rin is, she's still easier to get along with than Archer.]

[ That's probably the nicest thing anyone's ever thought about her here tbh. ]

It'll pass.
He told me to eat and rest up.

[ Also to go have sex, but she's not going to admit that to anyone EVER. Type-Moon, man. This shit. ]

[For a few moments, Natalia just reads the message over a few times. How frustrating it is to have a difficult patient. Regardless-]

My name is Natalia.

My offer for assistance is always open. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you, Natalia.
I'm certain you've probably gotten my name by now so there's no point in me announcing it.

[ She's clearly the pinnacle of manners and social anxiety all rolled into one. ]

Rin, correct? Master of Archer and Saber.

[weird as hell names]

Inevitably that means you're acquainted with Sakura and Shirou somehow as well.

... you all certainly know how to leave an impression.

I believe Miss Sakura is a distant relative of mine.
Shirou, Saber, and Archer all have a complicated past.

I'm from their future.

[ Which is as ridiculous as it reads so she'll let that sink for a bit. ]

[Are you for real......]

I've only learned a fraction of the past.

Is your future just as confusing? Parallel worlds and whatnot?

[That one conversation with Archer is going to help steer Natalia's experience with this entire cast.]

I believe it's a parallel world.
Having done the math, the Sakura I know would have been born a few years before this one.
I could be wrong, but it's an unlikely calculation.
I've always known Miss Sakura to be my grandmother so to have her be around my age is a little unnerving.

As for the future being confusing, I don't know.
They don't really want to talk to me much about it.

[So much.... information. Weird connections. Sakura and Shirou are dating but Sakura might be Rin's grandmother somehow? But Rin is currently Archer and Saber's Master. Not to mention the bit about Archer previously being Shirou somehow--

. . . . ah, yes.

Natalia's response takes a while but when it does, it's remarkably simple.]

Your burden is immense.

Consider this my apology if I happened to undermine it before.

[Even thinking about all this is giving her a headache.]

Undermine it how?

[ If Natalia's done something, then boy everyone's done good at keeping Rin from getting involved. Good thing too because she's likely to be a brat about it.

... after all her idea of handling their fighting is to put them into time out in each corner of the apartment. How to train your Servants. ]

[Well, she did kind of just tell Archer that Rin is a nuisance but that's.... that's a little too impolite to mention directly to Rin's face.]

I didn't understand what being a Master entailed. It's clearly much harder, particularly with all these parallel world difficulties.]

It's a hassle, but I've been managing. [ Poorly. ]

There are a number of things going on that I haven't uncovered myself, but I think with time they'll approach me.
So I'll just wait and hope they don't get into trouble in the meantime.

More trouble than Archer already has, I suppose?

Admittedly they must all have some kind of cabin fever.
They're so used to fighting and to be brought here.

Nothing rigorous grinding in ViViD don't fix.

I'm rather surprised I haven't actually witnessed a fight between them in that case.

Aside from Archer verbally berating Shirou, that is.

Once all that tension builds up, they will have no choice other than to release it.
Usually at each other.

... And you plan to just allow them to?

They're boys.
Fighting is what all boys do to get out their urges.
That and sex.
I doubt they're going to have much sex with each other.

Rin, don't be crass!!

[delicate princess sensibilities offended!!!!]

[ Gosh, she doesn't even know she's a princess!! ]

I'm not.
There's nothing wrong with sex.
Everyone's doing it.
Literally.
Doing it.
Doing each other.
Sex.

What type of environment were you raised in to be so vile?!
