It's taken me too long to post this. Sorry about that.

Anyway, my school, the Knight Academy, showed up in the city weeks ago. I've been trying to get everything in order and save up some money since then so I can open it to the public. I think it would be a good place for people to learn things like swordplay and archery, especially since we have a sparring hall dedicated to practicing swordsmanship. There's a few rooms available for people who want to stay there. It's not a lot, though. Three of them are already taken, so I have...five left. We have a kitchen, so anyone who likes to cook can work there. Oh, and teachers. If you're interested in teaching swordplay or archery, I'd love to hear from you... I don't have a lot of money to offer, but I can give you something, at least.

If you're interested in anything I wrote, just respond to me here. Thanks!

This may seem like an odd question, but it's something I am curious about and haven't found much information.

That and I haven't been in this city for that long. [A couple months isn't that long to some people, and normally Blues wouldn't think of it as a short time either but hey. Things are different here.]

I was wondering if anyone has actually been underneath the city?

[Almost four months.

That's how long she's been here so far. It's odd how fast time can fly, especially when one has no idea what they're doing. When she came here, her birthday had just past and she'd been caught up in a magic war for an artifact that could grant wishes with a familiar called a Servant at her side. And, oh yeah, her cats had still been kittens.

Now she's in another world with a strange power and charged with saving it. It would be amazing if she had any idea how and, frankly, she's felt restless and useless as of late. While she doesn't want anything awful to happen at the tournament, she does hope it at least gives everyone some direction on how to help the people here.

And her cats were now great big fat lumps who lay everywhere in the apartment she and her uncle share and who are beginning to get picky about what kind of food they eat.

Life, had gotten really interesting as of late.]

I see that the Velvet Room is open again. Would anyone with ice magic be willing to assist me transport something Miss Caroline requested? I would be willing to repay you somehow. Additionally, I realize I've been here for some time and while I've been training my body I have yet to train my persona. This needs to change. Would anyone be willing to assist me in learning to control it? As well as to use an evoker as I would like to join the next tournament if it will be at all possible. Thank you for your time. --Arturia Pendragon

Hello, everyone! ＼(=^‥^)/’

I have a request for the Network today. I don't know if there's enough time for this before the tournament, but I fight with a naginata and it's really conspicuous to just carry around. Since we have some great engineers here, I was wondering if someone would be able to design a naginata that could fold up or retract to fit into a handbag. I'll pay you for the trouble, of course.

And also in exchange - Well, not really in exchange, because this part is open to everyone! But the tournament uses Evokers, which is a pretty different style of Persona-summoning from usual. I use an Evoker normally, so if anyone would like to practice with one, or practice with a Persona in general, I'd be glad to help out! I'll be down in the Capricorn ward if you'd like to meet me there.

And, that's all I have for today. Thanks for reading!

[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.?

Is there anyone else here from my world I should know about?

To everyone else: I'm sorry about the loud, screaming goddess you just heard. She has this stupid thing against humans where she wants to wipe them all out. Just ignore her. Even if she is being really loud.

[More information? One new arrival, at least, has all the information she needs. The influx of energy from this one is massive, completely unsubtle, almost as if purposefully designed to attract the attention of anyone with any sense whatsoever of the divine. It doesn’t fade away nor does it seem to be easily localized. This surely wasn’t ‘Magatama Energy’…

Whatever ambiguity this might present is cleared up almost immediately. Despite that no one may be in the vicinity, the voice of a young girl sounds clearly throughout the city of Hinoto-Ri to nearly every inhabitant, as intelligibly as if the speaker were standing right next to those she addressed. …Perhaps too intelligibly. The first sound they hear is an vehement, despairing cry.]

NO!

This can’t be…! The forests… The oceans… The deserts and mountains, the tundra and the plains! W-Where are they?! Who did this?! What did you do to them?!

[For a few moments, the speaker seems too overwhelmed with ire to speak. The sound of her breathing eventually slows...]

Humans. Look at this world. Look at it!

I knew this would happen. In every world across every dimension, it doesn’t matter! You -- you’re all the same! See for yourself! This is what will happen if you tear through all of nature without respect for anything but your own wealth and gain! Are you happy?! My children… 100 million species. One hundred million. There's almost nothing left...

I am Viridi, Goddess of Nature, ruler of the Earth and all living things! And I will not allow this land to be desecrated any further.

They say there are monsters ravaging what remains. If you stand against them, then... heed the command of a goddess and CRUSH them!

Hello. My name is Arturia Pendragon. Some of you may have met me a month ago when I handed out flyers saying I would starting a delivery business soon.

My moped has been converted to use the type of engine needed here. [She just has to give the mechanic free deliveries for two months to pay for it and top priority. Sob.] As of today I will be making deliveries in the afternoons once school lets out and before sunset. Simply send me a message during that time to let me know the pick up and delivery location, and I will have it delivered in a half hour or less.

Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

On behalf of the Wise Men, I am posting on the Network regarding employment at Gemini Ward's Molecular Anomalies Gnosis Institute.

[M.A.G.I., if you will.]

Previous experience in the field of scientific research, microbiology, robotics or a related discipline is desirable, but not necessary. More importantly, candidates need to demonstrate strong problem solving skills, an ability to prioritize tasks and independently manage your own day to day activities. All positions will utilize your technical knowledge whilst providing the opportunity to develop additional skills you may lack.

In order to be considered for this role you will be screened and be subjected to drug and background checks. Moreover, while you are allowed to come into the facility with all your weapons, they will have to be removed before entering the core of the premises. It is important that the candidates understand that this is mandatory due to the nature of the highly classified research involved. Normally, candidacy would not be conducted in such a manner, but factoring in your previous homeworlds, the Wise Men decided it could be advantageous to do so.

[Also Ideo decided to start doing it himself and sending people their way, might as well explain the entire process, hmm? Of course that was just reading in the middle of the lines.]

Please submit your Curriculum Vitæ [It's means they want a resume] and Cover Letter explaining your reasoning why you feel you have the required experience to be successful in this role. However, if you are unable to provide either, considering how different each world may be, a simple spoken test will be conducted should you be selected, along with the drug and background checks. Salaries are to be discussed, and are based on previous experience and the job you have been selected for.

We are an equal opportunity employer.

[The screen flickers on to a boy wearing an amused grin.]

Everyone!

I've got good news! You're forgiven! The angel I summoned said so himself; God would definitely forgive you in a heartbeat because man's heart is weak, as is his mind, and we're all, uh, susceptible to the workings of the Evil One, and even as we wallow in our filth and sin, we -- You know what, forget God; I forgive you.

Seriously, no one could possibly blame you for what happened last week even if some of us were lucky enough to be scorpion magnets. Misery has it right - the important thing is to make sure that it doesn't happen again. If you all missed the announcements from the higher-ups, the people who were affected most severely were Scorpios. ...If you don't know what that means, in modern times on Earth - that's the 2000s - they were born when the Sun was in the sector of the sky dominated by the constellation Scorpio. This makes no sense if you were born outside Earth or in a time when we didn't go in for ridiculous things like pretending arbitrary sky-pictures meant anything about our lives, but the important thing is that the sun transitions into Scorpio beginning on October 23rd.

Guess what last week was.

The next sign is Sagittarius. The sun will shift into its sector on November 22nd.

So let's clear a few things out of the way - Everyone who was afraid, can you report in with your sign? Same thing if you were a scorpion magnet, though maybe that's more of a subjective thing. And everyone who's a Sagittarius, do you mind if we tie you to your beds from November, oh, 18th-ish to the 23rd? Your choices are (Yes/Of course/Definitely). If your name is Jun, (That's kinda kinky) works, too. If you don't know your sign, Sagittarius goes from late November into late December - so the end of a harvest season into winter in the Northern hemisphere, and the end of spring into summer in the South.

I'll keep track of the data. It's kinda my thing.

Oh -- this has nothing to do with anything, but I'm working in the computer labs of the university now. Drop by if you ever need anything fixed or if you just want to say hi.

[ Garviel stares into the screen for a moment his helm removed, his expression... pensive. ]

What defines humanity? At what point is someone so altered they are no longer human, and what emotions can we lose before are are not even remotely humane? I am curious.

[And someone just woke up in the hospital today, and makes the world's worst apology.]

I dunno shit what happened, and I can only remember a bunch of things but....whatever I did, please tell me I didn't hurt anyone. If I did I...

I kinda blacked out on the 23rd...

...I'm so sorry.

deathboss

[Eikichi what happened to your eyes...or your entire face.]

This is going to be fun.

[She's been nervous lately, an ice-cold feeling in the pit of her stomach that had started shortly before her uncle's arrival. It reminds her, vaguely, of when the Blood Fort had gone up around the school and she, Rin, and their Servants had been frantic to bring it down to save the students. Arturia had never before felt such fear, had never felt such urgency as far as she could remember, and it's the same as now. It's as if she can tell something dangerous is coming, something that could lay waste to everyone here and it will be a battle that not even the mightiest among them could hope to come out of alive.

Her only instinct is to fight, but she has nothing to fight. Not yet. There's only so many demons she can fight at night and with her uncle here she has to be more careful to keep him from worrying. Nonetheless, she needs to do something to combat this strange feeling and there's only one thing she can think of:]

I find I have neglected my training since arriving here. Tell me, would anyone like to spar with me in the Capricorn Ward? I would prefer a fellow swordsman, but any others willing would do.

Hm...

[You can see a confused face staring into the feed, it's really clear that this someone's not that well-versed in terms of technology, as the feed shook for a while until the person realized that.

Yes, it's recording.]

What a marvel of technology, I'll have to commend the creators of this device for their ingenuity...

Nevertheless, I have a question to you all perusing this device.

...

Have you seen a blonde girl calling herself Arturia? You see, she is my [~~father~~, niece, thing...] niece, and it'd really help my conscience if I know of her whereabouts.

[That said, he's going to just. Shut the feed off.]
