"Rin Tohsaka, we need to talk."
.
I'm currently just outside my house, Tohsaka just turned arround the corner and came into my line of sight (not counting my thermal vision, and other stuff that can see through walls), I pull out the necklace, showing it to Rin, and she stops dead on her tracks with a confused look.
"That necklace..."
"Come on in, I mean you no harm. I have quite a lot to explain and it would be better if you take a seat."
She doesn't take her guard down, but agrees to follow me into the house. I lead everyone to the dinning area and prepare some tea for everyone (I made sure no one saw how I prepare it, not even invisible Archer) and proceed to serve it. Everyone compliments the tea. Archer even materializes to take a sip.
.
.
Me: "OK, first things first: Shirou Emia is dead, his soul is already on the afterlife, I'm not him. My condolences to you Tohsaka, I know you had a crush on him."
Tohsaka chokes on the tea and turns crimson.
Tohsaka: "I DIDEN'T! WHAT MADE YOU ASSUME THAT!?" By your exageratedly embarassed reaction just now(sarcasm* (but also true, cause oh! my! gosh! that was VERY loud!!!)).
Me: "I smelled your body's chemistry change and heard your heart rate rise the moment you laid eyes on me." + I remembered it from the show.
Tohsaka is very red now and seems to be looking for somewhere to hide her face.
Me: "Anyways, I took hold of his corpse, I imagine that duo to that neckless's power."
Tohsaka seems to apreciate the change of subject. Not that any of the 3 former dead present paid her embarassment any mind.
Saber: "Neckless?"
Me: "Yes, Shirou was killed by Lancer and Tohsaka here still attempted to heal him using this neckless."
Tohsaka: "But Archer returned me the neckless, so how could you have it?"
Me: "I diden't know about that," I look at Archer "but I now imagine that it is precisely because I have the neckless that your Servant was able to return it to you."
Tohsaka: "Haha. Yeah? How?(sarcasm*)".
Me: "You don't know your Servant's name, do you?"
Tohsaka: "How did you-"
Me: "Lemme shed some light in this matter, he is Shirou Emia. I know this because I took Shirou's corpse, I would be able to recognize his genetic data from a mile away, and you" I point at Archer "are not an ancestor, nor a decendant, you're him, 100% match! Given your physical aperance, I would say you're a Shirou from a diferent timeline, since the one from here was unable to ever grow into an adult."
Everyone take their sweet time colecting their jaws from the floor. Understandable, considering it was the reaction of many viewers of the show when this plottwist was revealed.
Archer: "This..."
Tohsaka: "A hero from the future? And from a different timeline?"
Saber: "The Grail is omnipotent, but this is a hard pill to swallow!"
Tohsaka: "Is this true?" She asks Archer.
Archer: "It is. I diden't tell you my name in fear that it would disturb the timeline." Wow, that's some quick wittiness there! Archer came to the war in hopes of killing his past self due to some weird timetraveling reasons "I guess I won't need to bother about that anymore. Given our host's analysis, it would seem that this realy is a different timeline from my own. To bad, Having knowlage of future events would have been usefull." Another threat down, lots more to go.
Tohsaka: "Isn't it still a similar one from your own? Can't we make use of at least some of your knowlage?"
Archer: "It would be unreliable at best and a death sentence at worse. Disregarding ALL my 'future' knowlage would be for the best, because even if I may be right at times, I may get us killed with one single wrong piece of intel."
After everyone callms down, Tohsaka resumes our chat.
Tohsaka, "OK, back at the subject in hand: Who are you? Better yet, what? You were able to hear my heart from across the streat, perform a DNA exam just by looking at Archer and you're wearing Shirou's face! What are you!?"
Me: " I'm a beeing from another dimention, and I will team up with you in the War. My name" OK, this is it. Like hell I'm gonna use the system's pun name! I have so many better choices, I could go with a warframe name or use one of my new powers as a new name, that sonds cool, or even just go with a normal name from my Earth. I have so many choices, and thanks to my big brain, I have all the time I need to consider them all "is Tenno Mercer."
.
AAAHHHH!!!!! WHY DID I SAID THAT?!!!!!!!
THE SYSTEM COMPELS ME TO USE THIS "!@#$%¨&* NAME?!!!!!!
THAT'S "!@#$%¨&* "!@#$%¨&* !!!!!!!!!
"!@#$%¨&* "!@#$%¨&* "!@#$%¨&* "!@#$%¨&*!!!!!!!
*Angry Emoji*
...
*mentaly breath in*...*mentaly breath out*
...
OK!
I'm a bit better now.
.
Tohsaka: "Your dimension's naiming sense sure is weir- Diferent! realy, REALY, diferent."
Me: "There is no need for you to disquise your slip-up. I know is a bad name" even tho I have 0 clue of how the hell you know that it is a bad name!", but I can't change it due to some reasons I rather not say."
Tohsaka: "OK, so you want to team up with me, why is that? And how do you even know what the Holy Grail War is? It's not even been a day since you arrived in this dimension, for god's sake!"
Me: "The necklace's doing, I imagine." I lie. "But my knowlage of the War is limited."
Tohsaka: "The necklace summons an ally master? I never seen something like this before, but it does solve it's misteries." She murmurs to herself "Because I used it on Shirou's body, the summoned spirit got traped inside it. I can't belive I messed things up again! But it's not like I could just stand and watch him die, and I didn't knew exactly what the neckless was for at the time, so I'm not to blame, right?"
Me: "No, you are not. Yes, I can hear you."
Tohsaka blushes slightly again.
Tohsaka: "Sorry, you said you diden't know much about the Grail, right? I'll take you to see Kotomine then, he is a fake priest who's job is to oversee the war, he can explain it to you in detail."
Me: "OK, but first I'll take out the trash/get a snack. I'm famished and I hate it when good food goes to waste."
Aaaaand... I made everyone in the room share a weird expression again!
For some reason, that is quite gratifying.
Me: "Don't wory, my biology can digest anything. I don't think I'll eat Servants again tho, they taste quite bad."I'm lying here, but they just need to know that Lancer died, the details aren't important, and besides...
Yup, so very gratiyfing!
