Wao Sugoi.

[Upon waking in the morning, Hakuno might find a small red firebird watching her through the window. If let inside, it chirps happily, then dissolves into a flicker of (harmless) flames. In its place is a note and a few bags of tea and potpourri - not too overwhelming in scent.]

Hakuno,

I know we haven’t known each other for long, but I hope this helps you to relax during the holiday. It doesn’t make the world any less stressful, but hopefully it gives you a moment or two of reprieve.

Merry Christmas.

~Chise

LOOK WHAT I FOUND

[ attached are a couple atrocious photos. it looks like he just captured a cryptid sighting. ]

i've named it the black beast of AAAAAAAARGHHH

you know, from monty python!

do they have monty python in the moon

[ THAT RABBIT DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY, AND IT KEPT ON ZOOMING!!! ]

I watched the movie with Sir Gawain and Saber.

Be careful, Flat. I don't need you losing an arm or blowing up.

sir gawain!!! omg he must have had a lot of experience with that. especially when they told king arthur that his mom smelled of elderberries and stuff! we really need to have movies here!!! so we can have a movie marathon *_*

Oh that sounds fun! I don't think my Regalia can play movies, but it can look up titles!

YESS!! it'll be great!

but first i gotta figure out what to do with this rabbit! it's really energetic! i'll talk to you later and update you if it's secretly a vicious beast!!

O...then...uh...good luck.

Hey, how are you doing after Official Your Mirror Hates You and Your Best Friend Is Trying To Kill You Day? Everything okay on your end?

More or less. Not my first rodeo seeing fakes.

Oh yeah? Anyone terribly close to you or did you luck out?

Just my [ How to word it. Ah, whatever, it's not like she has anything to lose. ] my fiancé.

Huh. Gonna admit I didn't see that one coming, considering some of the things we've talked about...

Sincerely not meaning any offense here, but I have to ask because the question has been relevant here already: willing, voluntary, interested fiancé?

[Either way, Morgan suspects it's far worse than her casual tone would portray it as...]

Aren't you nosy to ask a girl about her love life? I can see why you don't get any dates. Understandable now.

[ Hakuno showing no mercy. She is still, a girl, after all. ]

Do I look like the type that would be forced into marriage that easily?

Oh yeah, definitely not the total lack of interested, eligible girls and my subsequent lack of asking, definitely me being intolerable with the ladies...

The last person I knew who struggled with an unpleasantly arranged marriage definitely didn't look the type either. And I seem to recall you being a bit cynical about love. So two choice: ask and risk being an idiot and/or jerk, or don't ask and risk being unforgivably and willfully ignorant about a friend's dire circumstance. Not really much of a choice, is it?

Not very nice choices I can see. Have you ever considered making a third choice?

Well, I guess I should dispell your worries.

I am [ Was, because the person in question is no longer here, so Hakuno is back to being single? ] In a relationship with mutual feelings.

I'd rather be the jerk than the villain, if given the chance.

I'm really happy to hear that, though. Even if it means that dealing with a fake-them must have sucked.

You get used to it after dealing with a bunch of them for a week straight.

Did you really get lucky and not get attacked or harmed?

Of course not. I got kidnapped a few times when trying to defend my territory.

[ Thanks Lancelot. ]

[This takes a moment.]

I would... really like to hear this story.

I got kidnapped?

[ What else does she need to say? ]

Right, that's really more of a summary than a story... and the summary is notably lacking reference to aforementioned knights of the Round Table...

It's nothing interesting. I got kidnapped. I got taken back.

The cycle continues for a week, and that's it.

World peace.

Okay. First question. Why is getting kidnapped not something interesting?

Is it supposed to be interesting? It was cold and dark and against my will?

Interesting in the sense of unusual and statistically unlikely.
Maybe what I should be wondering is what life you lead that included that happening.

A world where only one person is left standing.

You have a remarkable ability to say things that absolutely demand an incredible amount of context, without any hint that you're going to provide it.

Is that so? Thank you.

[ GURL. ]

You're welcome.

[He said that with the full knowledge she'd take it as a compliment, so it was a compliment.]

But I would appreciate knowing the context.

I already told you. It's not that deep.

I think the notion of a world where only one person is left standing could bear some expansion on the whys and wherefores.

I don't think so. It's just your typical tale.
The world is dying and humanity is also dying along with it.

[ In theory, it wasn't her problem, despite being the Ruler of the Moon, but this and that were different. ]

I'll keep it short. I was involved in a battle royale war where there is only one victor. I won. That's it. You can say I also gained a city as my prize, but that's unimportant.

That... is not a literal "you're the only one left", I hope.

No.

It's literal.

This explains a lot.

I'm sorry you had to go through that, for what it's worth.

I don't know why you would feel sorry for me, but I won't ask for any clarification.

[ If anything, it would turn south if Morgan tried to explain himself. So he best keep whatever thoughts he had in his head to himself.]

It's in the past now and it already happened. I can't change it.

[The fact that she doesn't understand his sympathy is proof enough of why he feels it. But he didn't expect her to understand.]

That is a very sensible and practical way of looking at it.
Although in that situation, I think I'd kind of lead to the question of 'now what'?

That's simple.

I just keep moving forward and living.

That's all I can do.

[There is soooooo much wrong here, but Morgan is well aware he's not going to get any really productive information or context out of her. Not in this time and fashion, in any case.]

Did you at least get anything out of it other than being the literal last one standing?

[ Oh sweet Morgan. Hakuno isn't even a "real" person made of flesh and blood. It's not hard to get the answers out of Hakuno, you've just been asking it wrong. Don't worry! You'll get another chance! ]

An entire world to build?

Could you create new people or beings to inhabit it? Seems kind of lonely otherwise.

Do I look like God to you? No. I cannot do that.

If it's a war that left you literally the only person left, I assume SOME sort of power was involved that enforced that victory condition, so how is that unreasonable?

It is unreasonable.

No miracle would bring the dead back.

Also.

[ She took a moment to gather her thoughts about this statement. These were her true feelings. ]

Even if I could. Even if I did. I already made that choice to stand on top of corpses. Are you going to tell me that is a mistake? Are you going to disapprove of everything I have done so far?

If that's the case, then this conversation is over.

I am in absolutely no position to disapprove, judge, or weigh the merits of your actions and choices. I'm just trying to understand. If it seems otherwise, that's not my intent, and I'm sorry.

If that's the case, you're forgiven.

[ WOW SO EASY! ]

I'm going to forget we have this conversation. In fact, I'll just delete this chat!

[Hey, Morgan tries to make his apologies decent and effective. Lord knows he's had enough practice.]

If I don't forget it, it still happened!

[If she actually replies to that he'll be amazed and puzzled.]

[ Too bad she never did. ]

[HE'S GOING TO DIE.

You know who doesn't have to participate in field day? A celebrity. It's easy to be active in the Metaverse - even after a year of being in this reality, he still can't manage the same level of energy for non-murderous activities. This is hell. He's about to die.

Playing tag - absolutely ridiculous. He isn't five.

At least there's a familiar face on the other team - a comrade in cafe arms, though-

He needs to be careful. He doesn't put it past her to take advantage of an opportunity, even if both sides have called a break to rehydrate.]

You've been doing well. They're lucky to have you on their side.

Edited 2025-05-04 17:15 (UTC)

[ Akechi, you have legs for days, yet you act like a noodle?

Oh, this is so sad. Regalia, play Despacito. Celebrity or not, aren't detectives supposed to be fit? Well, not everybody has the constitution to be running around.

After all, Akechi has proven to be a Victorian Child with food ( only spicy food ). Makes sense that he could be one physically. Just like Flat. ]

Well, when you're chased by people wanting to kill you, this much is natural.

[ Was he okay? Probably not. ]

I would have thought chasing around criminals ( or lost cats ) would be your forte.

Being a detective isn't as exciting as movies and televisions shows make it seem. I'm not an action hero. It's primarily waiting around and paperwork.

[It's so much goddamn paperwork. A necessity, but monotonous.

He straightens his posture, inhales to get his bearings. What a mess.]

A job I'm happy to have - being chased by killers is a stress none deserve.

[Girl??????]

Eh? You don't know Baritsu?

[ Hakuno looked disappointed as she made boxing hand motions. However, with how much leg Akechi has, he might be better at kickboxing. Well, who knows? Maybe after "high school", Akechi will enroll in the Police Academy and get actual BootCamp training.]

Right? Especially since these killers are proclaiming their love for me.

[ When will Hakuno get a normal confession in her lifetime? Everything is so dramatic. ]

But I'm surprised, you've never been chased down by rapid fangirls before?

[ Imagine if Akechi had a similar status to a Kpop Idol. ]

[ Baritsu makes him laugh - quiet, under his breath and not entirely feigned. What a comment for her to make. A pointed, specific one - her knowing that is a surprise, but he isn't unhappy to know she's well read.]

While some of my fans are quite...passionate-

[ Insane. ♥ ]

They tend to keep to themselves, for the most part. Though there have been times I've been found in public and surrounded. I use it as an opportunity to speak to them. It's important that I live up to their expectations. I would never run away from those who have given me their support.

In saying all that-

[ Girl what the fuck x2 ]

Your situation is a unique one. Do the police know about your issues?

[ Passionate. What a kind word to use. Truly.

Perhaps Akechi got good luck and didn't meet with a parasocial fan. It wasn't like there was a certain prerequisite to hang out with him. Yup. Like needing more intelligence or anything. Well, good thing this was a different world. Anyway-- ]

. . . well, uh-- [ How to explain that she was on the Far Side of the Moon when that happen? That it was every man for themselves? ] I was basically in the underworld. It's a pretty lawless place.

[ Nailed it. ]

[ Girl what ]

Can you elaborate?

[ Could she not? Was that a choice she could have? Probably not.

Please enjoy Hakuno looking lost, baffled, confused(?), and just something at Akechi. ]

So...

[ Congrats Akechi, you have obtained Hakuno Kishinami Lore Data. ]

On the Moon, [ Akechi's most dreaded enemy, we know. Bare with her, she didn't pick where she was born, ok? ] There's the Near Side, the side that faces the Earth. I got kidnapped and dragged to the Far Side of the Moon, where the system ( world/Moon Cell ) doesn't apply. Basically, a lawless land.

On the moon.

[ He repeats, slow and soft. It shouldn't surprise him at this point - nothing should, frankly.

If he were new to this world, Akechi would do nothing more than shake off the ramblings of person clearly going mad.

No, he knows better. Hakuno is hardly a liar and this, unfortunately, is the truth.

And Akechi Goro will never avert his eyes from it, no matter how goddamn ridiculous it sounds.]

I think few could claim to have a more exciting life than you. It sounds like quite a mess.

[ Akechi, homeboy, you got nobody to blame but yourself. You asked and you shall receive your answer, no matter how ridiculous it sounded.

She gave out a nervous laugh. A mess. Yup. That's about sums it up. ]

Oh, believe me. It got even worse even after I won the Holy Grail War.

[ She crushed/killed every "living" person she knew in the War for the sake of living. ]

But I think we can save that story for a later date. What about you? I'm sure you've seen some crazy stuff as a detective.

[ He just can't stop-

Asking.

Every answer leads to ten more questions and while her own doesn't fall on deaf ears - ]

I'll answer in a moment. I have just one final query for you - how did you win an entire war?

[ Hakuno blinked. Her expression was blank. After all, she was unsure if she should feel sad, remorseful, or angry. The words of the Golden King rang in her ears.

"No need for the remorse. The victor remains; the loser leaves. So long as you keep to that logic, you'll never be in the wrong."

That's right. It was a war. It was already a war that had concluded. A war that Hakuno could never take back. ]

It was set up like a tournament. [ There wasn't any need to go into full detail. Akechi wants the results. ] 128 candidates. A battle royale that lasted seven weeks.

[ Hakuno, the victor, turned to face Akechi. She stated her words as facts. ]

A battle to the death. Kill or be killed. I didn't want to die. I wanted to know who I was, what I was, and what type of wish I wanted to obtain, so I killed to find out the truth.

[ That's a surprise and a claim he would rebut if he knew less about the self-described npc.

She doesn't lie - no, she's all too open at times. Akechi stares at her in a mixture of a bewilderment and feigned neutrality. I killed to find out the truth is a statement that resonates. I killed to find out the truth is a statement he couldn't be further from fathoming.

128 dead and slain by her hand, in some capacity, and a victory pulled from those bloody, grotesque corpses. ]

You say that so matter of fact - you have to know that sounds outlandish, even by this world's standards. [ Careful. Cautious. He's a prince, so he feigns sympathy. He's a prince, so his voice softens. ] Which isn't to say I don't believe you. No, I certainly do, and you have my sympathies for it. [ Careful. Cautious. He looks away, as if burdened by this knowledge. ] But it's a power I would like to see in action. You didn't take them down with a knife, I assume.

Is there any other way I should say it then?

[ A snarky retort but on the playful side.

Still, it does not deny the reality that Hakuno had. She killed. She won. She stood on top of a hill of corpses. She didn't have to. She could have lost. She could have rotted away in the corner, waiting for the system to delete her as invalid data for not participating in their little game of death.

However, she has already made a choice. One that she didn't ~~couldn't~~ regret. ]

A knife? Think bigger. I got a very powerful sword.

[ She changed her pose. Her arms crossed as she thought about explaining the concept of servants to Akechi. If Flat and Leo were around, they would probably explain it better than Hakuno. ]

In order to make the game fair, [ Because it wasn't about finding the strongest, it was about seeing who could survive. ] we are each given a Servant, or a familiar, that we summoned. Basically, soldiers who were based on historical figures of the past. [ It truly sounded like something out of a fairy tale. But Hakuno has to remind Akechi, ]

It's possible because this war took place in a supercomputer that has observed humanity's history since the beginning of time. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody summoned a dinosaur to fight for them.

You have to know how absurd that sounds, but I've heard stranger tales and seen far more with my own two eyes. To think all this was happening under someone's nose in another reality - a fight over a mythical relic using those laid to rest in the past. It's almost poetic.

[ He believes every word. Only considers - ]

Who was your servant then? I'm fairly good at history. I imagine I'll recognize them.

The truth is stranger than fiction, right?

[ Hakuno jested. ]

My Servant?

[ Saber did show up as a doppelganger last month, so almost everybody basically saw her except for Akechi. They missed each other during that time. ]

The Fifth Emperor of Rome, Nero Claudius.

[ He gestures for her to start walking alongside him - he's got somewhere to go, but - ]

I'm familiar with the name. He's an infamous ruler in my reality for his rather...

Eccentric form of leadership.

[ There's too much overlap between servants and personas. He'll have to interrogate her further another time, but if Nero was born from her soul in a similar fashion-

He needs to stay on his toes around her. ]

What a surprise that one would find his way to you.

You can just say tyrant. It's not like it's wrong.

[ Hakuno told him flatly. Akechi was weirdly considerate in the oddest sense.

Even if Nero were to be here, she would probably just casually admit it.]

Right? [ Hakuno smiled fondly at the memory. ] If it wasn't Nero, [ Or any other Servant that didn't accept Hakuno, as weak as she is, ] I would have probably been dead in the first round.

Hakuno —— ! Come here. Closer, closer, closer —— stop!

[ The young man had a boyish grin to his face, brimming with excitement. He stood there for quite a bit, frozen stiff, and finally he leaned in. Leo pressed a chaste kiss to Hakuno's lips and leapt back with his hands up. ]

Happy Birthday ~ !

[ Had no money to throw a surprise party, so have a bigger surprise! A surprise kiss! ]

[ This was not Hakuno's first kiss. This was one of many kisses.

It took her by surprise.

She was literally speechless.

She was frozen. Broken. Unable to process. Still loading. ]

.....................

.............................................what the hell?

[ YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE HER THAT WAY, LEO!??! ]

I ate the last slice of pie, Hakuno . . .

[ So the next best thing —— the next best present is a kiss. From the lips that touched the pie. ]

...
.......
.......................

I'm speechless.

[ GM Hakuno!!!

This somebitch didn't forget. On 'her' birthday, he drops off a small assortment of cafe treats from Akechi Goro. He's literally so nice. ]
