[It's the first thing in the morning and Shirou's awake. He's all restless because Archer and Rin arrived the other day. Ignore the fact he skipped his daily training because he's so uneasy. Sakura, your senpai is sitting there in the living room glaring at stuff. ]
[Senpai skipping on daily training?? The first sign that something's wrong tbh... But Sakura's exhausted just from seeing Rin, and she can only assume that Shirou ran into Archer too. It was probably weird for him. When she sees him in the living room, she's not surprised, but she wants to help him as best she can.]
Why don't you sleep for a little longer, Senpai? You seem tired.
Something of that nature shouldn't exist anymore. [ But since this is Fate/ ... ] The Moon Cell has generated a system that mimics the ritual. From my understanding, during modern times, it was the Grail itself that called the spirits from the Throne of Heroes.
On the moon, there exists an artificial system called SE.RA.PH that does that. Now it doesn't call the Servants with the... Fifth Magic? [ She pauses as if unsure of herself; this magic stuff was before her time. ] Instead, it just calls forth the digital copy the Automaton recorded.
[She corrects her, but it's more out of surprise than caring about the details. It seems strange that a magus wouldn't know about something as important as the True Magics, but then again, the world Rin was describing sounded so completely different from the one she knew. With how stubborn they are, Sakura never would've guessed that magi would be willing to work with modern technology; maybe things have just changed in the future.]
To think that technology's advanced so much in just a few decades... But why is the Holy Grail War being copied?
[You have to understand now, Sakura might not be a great magus, but she's a magus. Technology is weird as hell. She's probably never even had an email address in her life up until now, let alone received an email. When she gets one from Rin, she's curious but confused as to what it could be. After all, she always could've just called her or used that video function these things have. With a naive mind that knows nothing of the horrors of the internet, Sakura opens the email.
The word regret doesn't even begin to describe it.
What is this? Why did Rin send her this? How does she know she slapped Archer? Why would she thank her for it? How is there music playing? Could you make it stop? Where did she even get this picture of her? Was this what people did with technology these days? Why does something like this even exist?
After a long and thorough debate with herself, with options ranging from deleting the email entirely to not responding and pretending to herself it never happened, Sakura settles on what to do.]
Senpai...? [Shuffles out of the bedroom in pajamas... Look she was in the middle of sleeping okay what is he doing back all of a sudden?? Except WOW THAT SURE IS HIM ON THE GROUND so Sakura comes running.]
Senpai, are you alright?! [trying to lift him slightly so he's at least on her lap] Sent you back for the night though... Did she get mad at you?
[She's so alarmed from the first text at first IS RIN OKAY?? WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?! DOES GRANDMA NEED TO COME DOWN AND BUST HER OUT OF TROUBLE?!
Thankfully any particularly dangerous and reckless ideas are stopped just a few seconds later. After the first message, she was expecting something a little more... urgent...... And she's not sure how someone could mistake soy sauce for ramune to begin with (???), but it's kind of cute that Rin is relying on her for this. Again, why she is, she has no idea.]
Did you apologize after you realized your mistake?
I'm hosting a party for my Master on the 11th [this Saturday, turd!]. Consider this your invitation but I don't want Shirou and Rider ruining the party.
[What an abrupt phone call... But unlike UNEXPECTED SHOPPING this is something she can work with right away!!]
That sounds lovely! Is it her birthday? [Gotta know what to get for a gift...... Except she doesn't even know when the last time she got a birthday gift for someone who wasn't Shirou was, but. She'll cross that bridge when she needs to.] I don't mind about Rider, and I doubt she does either, but are you sure about Senpai? He and Rin seem to get along.
[Shirou isn't even going to let Sakura know he's home because he's depressed. Saber's words weigh deeply in Shirou's mind. Maybe he really is a coward. Rin used a command spell on Saber so Shirou can only feel more stupid.]
I'm such an idiot. [If Sakura's around she can hear Shirou cursing himself repeatedly. His actions shouldn't really surprise her at all. Sakura knows Shirou too well and this is hard on her. He just hopes that he can pull himself together. Shirou wants to be there for Sakura so he can't allow himself to be depressed forever.
tl;dr everything sucks a lot. ]
Edited (i will never stop editing this comment..ok im going to sleep ) 2015-01-31 07:52 (UTC)
[It's not like she can miss someone coming in, and there's only one person who would come here like this. Naturally, it's also no surprise that that certain person is currently in the middle of beating himself up. With Saber here, Sakura knew it was only a matter of time before things became complicated and difficult. She herself wanted nothing more than to find Shirou and desperately hold onto him after that day, selfishly wanting a source of comfort.
But she thinks she can't do that, especially not now. No matter how hard it was for her, she can't imagine how hard it must be for Shirou. She doesn't know what Saber said to him, or what he said to her. Right now, it doesn't matter. There still isn't much she can really do for him, but that's all the more reason she has to do whatever she can, no matter how little it is.
So she approaches him quietly, not saying anything even though it's obvious that it's her, and wraps her arms around him, pressing her forehead against his back as she holds him as tightly as she can. He might not be able to see her, but the small smile is evident in her voice.]
Welcome home, Senpai. [Because despite everything else, despite how terrible and drained and exhausted both of them feel, she is so very, very glad to have him home again.
god i can't believe i tl;dr'd this much over a fucking hug]
[Wow, Athena had to walk Shirou home today. THAT'S NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL... Something's obviously bothering him. He knows he can't hide it anymore and he's looks extremely distressed. ]
I'm home, Sakura.
[He's trying his best to put on a smile, but this is the second time he's come home with injuries.
[Well look who dragged his sorry ass back in looking like complete shit once again.
Okay no Sakura isn't actually thinking that. Well, okay, she's sort of thinking like that. Basically that but with less swearing and more petty passive-aggressiveness. Just remember Shirou, you did this to yourself!!
She's glad that he's bandaged up this time at least, but that means he went ahead and got himself really hurt. Again.]
... Welcome home, Senpai. [It's cold though, distant. GETTING REAL TIRED OF THIS SHIT MAN.]
[STARING AT THIS TEXT FOR A LONG TIME like. Is she really being invited to a sleepover? Why. This isn't a bad "Why am I being invited when I hate these things" kind of why though, but a socially awkward "Oh my god I know nothing about these things why would they invite someone like me" kind of why.]

[Okay so Sakura is obviously in the room when Athena sends this, and it's hard not to notice EVERYONE's CeresVice going off at the same moment, and to begin with Sakura doesn't even know what chain mail is BUT. BUT!!
This is the first time someone's said that they're friends with her here... She didn't realize she and Athena were already friends!! THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO HER. She looks a little more emotional than she ought to be for a text like this, but she quickly sends the same message back.]

[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

Making sure she knows she's well loved and all that. ]

[WOW NO THIS IS GREAT TO HER she's really touched honestly... This makes Meruru the second person from here to call her a friend!! (Not including the hacked messages Rin had sent to Sakura at least.) This means a lot to Sakura, so she sends the message right back.
Finally she's reached five people to send this to.....]

Edited (GETS PICKY ABOUT ICONS) 2015-03-30 11:32 (UTC)
You’ll have to pardon me if this sounds generic but I simply couldn’t think of a more efficient way to do it. Simply put, I’ve successfully managed to convert my world’s calendar to the one of this world and I best estimate my birthday to fall sometime before December 25th, which is apparently known as Christmas Day here. Then I had thought “oh, but certainly others would love to join in the festivities!” and so now my proposal is for there to be a lovely winter ball on thinking the 26th, hence the reason for this invitation. I would like to extend my request for your assistance in preparations for the ball, if you would be so kind as to lend your aid.
[GENERIC PART OVER and here’s where the personal message begins-]
Oh Sakura, your food was absolutely delightful at the slumber party! If you wouldn’t mind providing catering along with Archer – as difficult as I know he is to work with – I’d be so utterly grateful. If you seek payment for your assistance then certainly I will be able to compensate you for your time and generosity and… inevitable patience.
[Honestly she's a little UNSURE about working with Archer, but she hardly sees that as reason enough to turn down Natalia's request.]
If Archer wouldn't mind my working with him, I'd be happy to help with catering. I'm very flattered to know that you liked my cooking enough to want it for your own birthday party!
[A few seconds after that's sent though:]
Although a little compensation would certainly be appreciated... [Look.... It's Archer after all.......... That's really her biggest concern in the end.]
Right... [With a nod at Pyrrha and one last wary glance at the trashcan, Sakura heads on over to the tree, breathing a sigh of relief when they get there.]
[Later in the evening, whether answering a knock on her door (to find no one there) or returning home from wherever she may be, Sakura is going to find a garment box wrapped in festive paper with a bow on it and an envelope taped to the top. The envelope reads "To Sakura. Do not open until Christmas!" If she opens it now or later, this is what she will find:
In the envelope is a card! It's a fairly generic happy holidays card, though the outside and inside have stickers added. On the inside of the card are some cute little doodles of cats or snowmen or reindeer and a note:
Merry Christmas Sakura! I don't know if you'll remember me from the party, but we did some makeover stuff together, and I ate your delicious lasagna! Since you were really nice, I want to make sure that you have a good Christmas! Even though this isn't much, I hope it does a little to brighten your day! And if you're having a bad Christmas, you can call me and I'll stop by and give you a big Christmas hug, and I know that'll definitely make it a little better!
❤ Mabel!
In the thin garment box is...a stocking? Yes! It's a stocking! It's red with gold trimming and glitter covering it, as well as Sakura's name carefully penned in with what looks like glitter fabric paint. Inside this stocking is what you would expect in any stocking. From the toe to the top, it's filled with candy and a variety of smaller items, such as: a very cute purple bunny plush, a set of scratch and sniff food stickers (like...pizza...and hot dogs...), and a little box! Inside this box is an adorable teeeeeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny kitchen set, including some convincing utensils, a table set, a counter with a coffee pot glued to it, and a little stove!
Lining the top are five candy canes, neatly hooked over the edge so they are just peeking out!]
[Upon finding the package, Sakura is already rather touched, albeit extremely surprised by it. Christmas was never a holiday she really celebrated in full, but even as she looked forward to celebrating it here, she never would've imagined receiving a present from anyone outside of the people she knows closely here, and this definitely wouldn't have been from one of them.
Unfortunately, the next few days go rather poorly for her. By the time Christmas proper rolls around, she's in absolutely no mood to celebrate it. With the sudden and unexplained disappearance of someone very close to her, it's difficult for her to find cheer in anything. It's not until later that day that she even remembers the package she received a few days ago, and it's only with low expectations and idle curiosity that she even bothers opening it. It might be a gift of some sort, but she doubts it could be anything that would cheer her up on this terrible Christmas day.
But if she was touched before just from receiving a gift, it's nothing compared to seeing what's actually inside. The candy and stickers are cute (even if she has no idea where she'd actually use these stickers), and the bunny plush is absolutely adorable. She's delighted by the kitchen set honestly, amazed both by how cute it is and how thoughtful a gift it is. What really does her in though is the card itself; she almost considers taking up Mabel's offer, what with how bad her holiday season has been honestly, but ultimately decides against it. Sakura's grateful enough that a mere acquaintance would put this all together for her, and she doesn't want to put a damper on Mabel's Christmas.
Instead, very early next morning, the next person to open the door of Mabel's home would find a small container of sugar cookies resting against it, along with a envelope simply addressed to the girl herself. The card itself is similarly plain, bereft of any added embellishments, but it also has a small note from Sakura:
Dear Mabel,
Belated Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for your gift. Words can't express how much it brightened my Christmas day, so really, thank you. I know I'm a little late now, but I hope you'll enjoy these cookies nevertheless. Until next time.
I see... [She trails off, looking back at the window as if maybe it'll pop up once more. With how sudden it appeared to begin with, she wouldn't be surprised if it did.] Hopefully it won't come back.
[Although she doesn't even believe her own words. Things always have a way of getting worse.]
[Shirou's looking for the wife! Unsure, he hopes he isn't disturbing her by being so loud. What if she's sleeping? Oh god oh man. Knocking on her door.]
Senpai? [Wow as if she wouldn't make time for Shirou tbh. It only takes a moment for her to open the door, looking curious. The only thing he's disturbed her from is folding laundry.] What is it?

The word regret doesn't even begin to describe it.

Where did she even get this picture of her? Was this what people did with technology these days? Why does something like this even exist?

I'm such an idiot. [If Sakura's around she can hear Shirou cursing himself repeatedly. His actions shouldn't really surprise her at all. Sakura knows Shirou too well and this is hard on her. He just hopes that he can pull himself together. Shirou wants to be there for Sakura so he can't allow himself to be depressed forever.
tl;dr everything sucks a lot. ]
no subject
But she thinks she can't do that, especially not now. No matter how hard it was for her, she can't imagine how hard it must be for Shirou. She doesn't know what Saber said to him, or what he said to her. Right now, it doesn't matter. There still isn't much she can really do for him, but that's all the more reason she has to do whatever she can, no matter how little it is.
So she approaches him quietly, not saying anything even though it's obvious that it's her, and wraps her arms around him, pressing her forehead against his back as she holds him as tightly as she can. He might not be able to see her, but the small smile is evident in her voice.]

Delivery!! 12/22
In the envelope is a card! It's a fairly generic happy holidays card, though the outside and inside have stickers added. On the inside of the card are some cute little doodles of cats or snowmen or reindeer and a note:
Merry Christmas Sakura! I don't know if you'll remember me from the party, but we did some makeover stuff together, and I ate your delicious lasagna! Since you were really nice, I want to make sure that you have a good Christmas! Even though this isn't much, I hope it does a little to brighten your day! And if you're having a bad Christmas, you can call me and I'll stop by and give you a big Christmas hug, and I know that'll definitely make it a little better!
❤ Mabel!
In the thin garment box is...a stocking? Yes! It's a stocking! It's red with gold trimming and glitter covering it, as well as Sakura's name carefully penned in with what looks like glitter fabric paint. Inside this stocking is what you would expect in any stocking. From the toe to the top, it's filled with candy and a variety of smaller items, such as: a very cute purple bunny plush, a set of scratch and sniff food stickers (like...pizza...and hot dogs...), and a little box! Inside this box is an adorable teeeeeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny kitchen set, including some convincing utensils, a table set, a counter with a coffee pot glued to it, and a little stove!
Lining the top are five candy canes, neatly hooked over the edge so they are just peeking out!]
5 MILLION YEARS LATER.....
Unfortunately, the next few days go rather poorly for her. By the time Christmas proper rolls around, she's in absolutely no mood to celebrate it. With the sudden and unexplained disappearance of someone very close to her, it's difficult for her to find cheer in anything. It's not until later that day that she even remembers the package she received a few days ago, and it's only with low expectations and idle curiosity that she even bothers opening it. It might be a gift of some sort, but she doubts it could be anything that would cheer her up on this terrible Christmas day.
But if she was touched before just from receiving a gift, it's nothing compared to seeing what's actually inside. The candy and stickers are cute (even if she has no idea where she'd actually use these stickers), and the bunny plush is absolutely adorable. She's delighted by the kitchen set honestly, amazed both by how cute it is and how thoughtful a gift it is. What really does her in though is the card itself; she almost considers taking up Mabel's offer, what with how bad her holiday season has been honestly, but ultimately decides against it. Sakura's grateful enough that a mere acquaintance would put this all together for her, and she doesn't want to put a damper on Mabel's Christmas.
Instead, very early next morning, the next person to open the door of Mabel's home would find a small container of sugar cookies resting against it, along with a envelope simply addressed to the girl herself. The card itself is similarly plain, bereft of any added embellishments, but it also has a small note from Sakura:
Dear Mabel,
Belated Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for your gift. Words can't express how much it brightened my Christmas day, so really, thank you. I know I'm a little late now, but I hope you'll enjoy these cookies nevertheless. Until next time.
Sincerely, Sakura Matou]

I see... [She trails off, looking back at the window as if maybe it'll pop up once more. With how sudden it appeared to begin with, she wouldn't be surprised if it did.] Hopefully it won't come back.
[Although she doesn't even believe her own words. Things always have a way of getting worse.]
