[ So there can be an actual canon AU where Rin Tohsaka uses computers........................... ]
From what my team was able to recover, it's the only way the system can determine the right to use the Moon Cell in order to bestow any wish, even if said wish is to alter the world entirely.
[It was so impossible for FSN Rin that they had to completely AU her, huh..............]
So it's in order to make a wish still... [Well, as long as it's not the actual Holy Grail, whatever wish is made should come out fine. She doesn't know what the Moon Cell is, but assuming it exists to actually grant wishes, it hopefully wouldn't distort them due to corruption like the real Grail. It's not really her concern, but she still feels relieved at that.]
If you say that though, I'm guessing you want to make a wish like that?
[ Thoughtful pause, as if she had to think of how to word the rest. ] It's not so much that I had a wish myself, but I had to oppose the Western European Conglomerate. By placing restrictions on the technological development of the world, they're actively damaging everything we've fought for. Withholding information should be criminal, but it's easier to rule people through ignorance. What they don't know they fear and so by forcing twenty-first century technology on them, the world can't advance any despite the limitations and therefore they control about sixty-percent of the world's resources.
If given the opportunity to make a wish with the Moon Cell, there's no doubt they would increase their control.
[She listens intently of course, but it's such a large scale ordeal that it kind of takes her by surprise. Her world has always been small to her, but that's just in her case. Hearing about how the world could turn out is certainly eye-opening, whether or not it's actually been destroyed. And to think her granddaughter's trying to change all this... After a moment she nods, smiling.]
You're fighting for a very noble cause then. I'm impressed.
Sheesh. [ Rin murmurs as she scratches the side of her chin in an attempt to hide the blush. Here she is being praised just for acting as she wanted. ]
I didn't say I was fighting for a noble cause, only that I just refuse to tolerate it. That kind of power control pisses me off.
[ Unless, of course, she's the one with all that power. Kanye West softly begins to play in the background, etc. ]
[She likes Rin, so she probably wouldn't care if she ended up with all that power as long as it didn't get out of hand... Whatever "out of hand" means for someone who tends to spoil people......]
So you didn't have any particular wish either... [It's almost amazing how much she takes after her older sister. There's something in her phrasing that concerns her though.] You did make it to the end, right?
[ Shaking her head. ] No way, I lost--but my friend, she wasted something in order to save me. I don't really know why she did, but I'm grateful to have seen the conclusion of the war at her side.
[Rin radiates gay no matter what incarnation huh.]
Maybe she just wanted to help her friend. [When you care about someone, it's natural to try and help them if you can, right? Not that Sakura has a whole lot of experience with friends...] It's good that you survived though.
No, I don't think she even knew what she was doing. Being thrown into something like that without any prior knowledge while all of the other participants willingly accepted is terrible. She just wanted to survive while we all wanted to win.
[ At least she acknowledges that. ] I'm glad to have made a friend like her, but now that our worlds are the way they are, what about her? Is her body just rotting there while I'm here?
I suppose it depends on if you believe what they said about our worlds or not.
[She doesn't really have a reason to not believe what they said, but accepting that means accepting that everyone else she cares about back home is dead... Including her older sister. Sakura just can't do that.]
[In a way, it's a little scary having the truth actually confirmed rather than just staying in this maybe-it's-true, maybe-not state, but she can't just run away from it forever. More than that, she's surprised that Rin would offer to let her know what she finds.]
Of course. [Patience might as well be Sakura's middle name tbh. In any case though, she nods.] You should receive a device for communications afterwards, and it's easy to contact others with it.
[They probably don't have it in the middle of the virtual shit right... I honestly don't know but WHATEVER no one can see my bullshit here, this is an inbox and it's collapsed!! And at the very least Sakura thinks it should be easy for Rin. She seems technologically savvy whereas she stared at the thing like "WHAT IS TEXTING???"]

The end result is still a noble cause, isn't it?

What I can do is prove it. I'll find a way to do that and let you know my findings as soon as I've discovered them. How about that?
no subject
... Yeah, I'd really like that. [a soft smile] Thank you.

Please be patient while I work. Um, it won't be difficult to locate you after this, would it?

I'll talk to you later. [ Probably.
Hopefully in-between battle of the senpais. ]
