ITP: Questions

[Four months. January would mark her fourth month in this place and Arturia is very, very confused. This is a place where special abilities are not only accepted, but commonplace, and there's little chance of the Grail War coming here. She always hated keeping secrets back home, but had understood the why of it. It bothered her, but she had accepted this as a fact of life.

Even more than that, Shinji weighs on her mind. Shinji had been a jerk, there was no question about that. The girls who followed him around were the type of teenage girl who seemed to think that sort of person was a real man. Arturia knew better than that just from spending so much time with Sakura. The only reason Arturia had not tried beating him to a pulp for what he did to his sister had been due to Sakura asking her to leave him be and stay out of it. It angered her to just stand by and yet....

...yet when she gets back home, she has every intention of going to the Matou home and telling Sakura in person that her brother is dead. Arturia has no idea how to tell her and the thought of lying to Sakura and creating a cover story leaves her slightly ill whenever she thinks of it since, in the end, Arturia feels like she is the one responsible. Archer may have put the bullet through Shinji's brain, but he had been Arturia's Servant.

There had to have been an alternative. There had to be.

Once she figures out how to post anonymously on the Network, she does so.]

When is it acceptable to kill someone?

For that matter, when would you say it is acceptable to keep secrets.?

Then you just tell them what you can.

I'm sorry this is a situation you're dealing with.

The people of Metafalss have dreamed for centuries of singing the song that would create new land: Metafalica. Four hundred years ago, they came very close to achieving that dream. Unfortunately, they failed. An agent of the Goddess, Raki, descended from the Tower to bring an end to it by attacking the Maidens who were singing the Hymn. The Maiden of Fuero, Nenesha, died. The surviving Maiden of Aqua, Infel, declared War on the Goddess herself. Metafalss survived the War, but we were forbidden from singing the Song that would create land ever again.

Two years ago, I revived that War with the intention of winning back our right to sing Metafalica.

Ideally, I would strike to incapacitate. But I assume you are speaking of an unideal situation, where the only choices are to "kill" or "allow others to die."

In that situation, I would strike to kill. I place greater value on the safety and well-being of others over the grief I might cause to any surviving friends and family of the victim--or to myself, for taking the life of another.

It was. But I didn't know that it wasn't a thing that most people had to do at the time.

Pretty much as soon as I could physically hold a sword they started shoving me towards those kinds of missions. I know it was around the beginning of secondary school.

It's a long story. [A very long, difficult story.] But in short-- yes, we did. Luca and I sang EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA/. and created new land for our world.

I have. Some--mostly enemy soldiers or Reyvateils that had lost their minds--by my own hand... but there are many others that have died because of my words and the choices that I have made.

Those are the deaths that weigh the heaviest upon my heart.

And because of that not 'making a fuss' over it is clearly the best solution?

[Human he is.]

That's just all the more reason to hold onto it.

[It has taken him long to find balance, to find the road he had aimed to walk after leaving Castle Oblivion. To consume the dark and turn it into light, to know both, but not fear either. That is the road to dawn.

Also, uhh... thank you, creeper anon?]

Very well. I hope that living your way leads to happiness.

[Somehow even through text, the other anon seems amused and proud...

You feel a faint bond forming between you and the other anonymous responder OH MOTHER OF GOD NOOOOOO]



Thou art I... and I am thou...
Thou hast established a new bond
that surpasses the barriers of
both time and worlds...

but art thou sure you wish to bond with someone you doth not know...


[You have formed the Anonymous Social Link of the Death Arcana!

...You get a foreboding feeling.]

[Riku always has foreboding feelings when he hears voices in his head.

In fact... he kind of may or may not stumble back just a little, dropping his communicator in shock.

Just. What had happened just now!?]
