[The video feed turns on to show a face that may be familiar to some. However, despite the similarities, this face has a more playful and satisfied expression.]

I see! So this is how it works! [The girl clad in red's voice high-pitched voice declares with triumph.] Such remarkable technology... I must compliment the craftmanship of this bracelet. Though rather dull in color and design compared to someone as vibrant as I, the innovation of how it allows long distance communication amongst one another is simple beautiful.

[Oh right. Introductions. Ahem!]

You may call me Saber. Those responsible for summoning me here have made the greatest choice if they wished for prosperity. After all, I am a great architect, painter, musician, and fashionista... With my talent, I shall raise this land to surpass the glory of Mount Olympus itself! I will not ask how privileged the lot of you feel for having me as an aid. After all, 'tis not as if I had any other pressing matters to attend to where I hailed from.

Now then! While I do believe I understand the basics, I am curious to know if any further details had been acquired. If you cannot provide me with that, a self-introduction would suffice as well! Umu... After all, we are now part of the same auxilia, and should not be strangers to one another. Come now; do not be shy.

[Oh this person sounds amazing. Why can't Shu be this cool?]

You're Saber, right?

Hi, I'm Shu. Nice to meet you.

[Because you are a protagonist and therefore required to be a loser.]

Shu... I see. And I am sure that is not all... do tell me about yourself. We are both in the same situation, so 'tis almost as if we are brothers! I see no reason why we must be strangers amongst ourselves.

[Fact of truth.]

Yeah, we are... I guess.

[He's still kind of hesitant to approach someone so openly but he has to start somewhere.]

I'm from Tokyo but the economy isn't holding up well. Saber, are you familiar with Japan?

Umu! The place where I was last resembled that of a modern Japanese school. I'd like to think I know enough about that land. It is quite fascinating and much different from my beloved Rome.

So you know what it's like at least.

I'm a little relieved. I've heard about Rome in World History Class but I never thought I'd actually meet someone from there.

Well, consider yourself privileged, for before you is the most grand citizen of the Roman Empire! One who ruled it and spread prosperity, on top of that.

[Yep, she loves to brag.]

Are you joking?

[That seems a little over the top, even for him.]

Why would I joke about such? That would be a complete insult to my upbringing.

[She's dead serious.]

It's well, um.

A little hard to believe.

But I guess, this whole situation is hard to believe anyways. What am I saying?

Then it is best to believe it, young Shu. For disbelief shall not get you anywhere in this realm. Umu, though ignorance is hardly a sin, it is also frustrating.

I think...

[He stops midway...looking for the courage to continue.]

I think, I might need some more time to think about it.

[He just nods.]

I want to know more about this place but because I'm ignorant it...frightens me. Sorry, I must sound stupid to you Saber.

[She gives a reassuring smile.]

There is no need to apologize. Take as much time as you need, for I feel that we shall be here for a very long time.

[He just nods and tries to smile as best as he can.]

Yeah...I mean. They went through all of the trouble of sorting us into different houses.

They wouldn't do that without a reason, right?

I theorize that it is merely their way of being accommodating to our own individual tastes. [y e p. Occam's Razor, full force.]

Perhaps.

Saber, which house are you in ?...If you don't mind me asking.

I see not why it is a problem to tell you. As I am a gifted artist, I have been appropriately placed in the most superior of all houses, the house of Freyr!

[A soft smile. He really admires you Saber...but he wishes he could be like you...just a little. He's insignificant but if he had a shred of Saber's talent he would be fine.]

That house really does suit you. You're amazing, Saber.
