[Video post - memory lane virus.]

[unknownrival]

Two people are in the student council room of Issei's school. One of them, a redheaded teenager with brown eyes who some might recognize as Emiya Shirou, is standing up, looking determined. The other one, a seventeen-year-old Issei, is still sitting down, looking annoyed.

Shirou takes a deep breath. "Issei. Don't ask questions and just take your top off."

Issei turns bright red and nearly falls off of his chair with his flailing, before getting to his feet. "W-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!"

"I told you to take your uniform off. Take your shirt off as well," Shirou says calmly. "It’s not any good unless you’re naked.”

Issei is still blushing and spluttering. "-W-w-w-w-w-what are you asking for?! Are you insane?! Is it a new way to question me?! No, do I have to do this now?!"

"Yup, this is urgent. Just take off your top. It'll be too late once school ends!" Shirou knocks Issei over, urgently trying to pull off his clothes.

Issei struggles with him, to no avail. "Whoa-! Stop it, you fool! Are you really from a family of warriors?!"

This continues for a little while, with Shirou overpowering Issei. Once Shirou has him down to his pants, and is clearly going for that next, the video cuts out.

Not in the slightest. I've tried convincing him that that's what it appeared to be, but he just doesn't get it.

As for reasons, apparently he was trying to figure out if I was a Master in the idiotic Holy Grail War going on. I would have had a mark on my body, if that were the case.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...wow.

Holy Grail War?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I love him and everything, but he truly is a fool about some things.

Servants fight each other on the order of their Masters in order to win them a wish from the Grail. I had nothing to do with it, but he suspected me of being the Master of... remember the person who took over my body?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Yeah I remember that one, kept talking about getting rid of all people who knew too much.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Standard Servant procedure, unfortunately. It's supposed to be a secret from outsiders.

Since he had to determine if I was a Master without telling me anything about why, clearly the solution to this is to order me to strip for no explainable reason.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...figures.

Uuh... no.
If you'd been a Servant at the time, would you have attempted to kill him for trying this?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Everything that can kill you on my world is supposed to be a secret. I don't care much for the policy.

He was a Master, so I was supposed to kill him anyway... probably. It's a bad idea on so many levels.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...it's more harm than help if you don't know what might be coming for you.

...I really have nothing to add. What idiocy.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Believe me, they aren't keeping the secrets out of concern for those of us in the dark.

Thank you. I feel validated now that I have someone else's opinion backing me up.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Psh. Even better.

You're welcome, I suppose. It really would be better if you had enough confidence to know this for yourself, but I'm glad to lend an opinion.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I hate my world.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I've always known that I was in the right. But it's nice to have others backing you up.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...yeah, no kidding. But they all have their problems, secret or otherwise.

Fair enough.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I still would like to live somewhere where my status in the world is higher than a fuel source.

strike=thought

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

I would've liked to live as something other than a chess piece, too.Have you considered moving?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I have to inherit my temple, which is decidedly immobile. Otherwise, I would.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Well, now you already know anyway, don't you? It's not much of a secret anymore.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It doesn't mean I still can't die for knowing. Or be killed in a number of other ways.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Well that's the same just about everywhere.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I don't want to be killed by a shark in a closet on the second floor of a hotel. My death, if it does not have meaning, should at least make sense.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...you're saying that could actually happen?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's it exactly.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to see your point.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I thought you might.
