Normally I'd send these a little closer to the holidays, but the student council is busy around this time of year, so I thought it would be best to get them out early. Besides, arranging cross-world transportation...

Archer, Hakuba, I hope you received your books successfully? And the same for you and your cat, Heartnet?

Midou, I... honestly, I have no idea what to get you. So I'm going to admit defeat and ask what you would prefer. I'll do my best to get it.

Happy holidays.

((Gifts are the same as in the gift post: book with pictures of famous swords for Archer, Kogoro Akechi book for Hakuba, black cat plushie for Train, ??? for Ban. Also, handwaving the sending out of the gifts because I can't be bothered.))

Saber? I don't believe I've met her.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

You would have liked her if you did.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Then I'm sorry I didn't.

But that's not what I meant, Archer.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

Then what do you mean, Issei?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

She's - versions of her are - involved with both of the people I'm fond of. Isn't that a legitimate complaint?

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

But there are some versions that are utterly alone, Issei.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...None that I've met.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

Take my word on it Issei. Rin deserves very ounce of happiness she has.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I apologize, Archer. I hadn't meant for this conversation to get in such depressing territory.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

You just shouldn't judge something at face value, Issei.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Particularly not people?

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'll agree with you on that point.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

Good.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Let's see, what else is there to talk about... I certainly can't mention that, I doubt he would appreciate it...

There was one other thing I wanted to ask about, but it'll probably go into depressing territory again.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

What would that be?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

In your timeline... Is Kuzuki-sensei still around?

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

I travel through multiple times. In my lifetime? Yes.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That was a bad way to phrase it. I meant the one you're living in now, with Tohsaka.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

No.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...I see.

That's a shame. I would have liked the opportunity to say goodbye to him.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

Blame the woman he was engaged to for your loss, Issei.

(And ladies and gents, Archer's suffering from DISPLACEMENT.)

[stripping.livejournal.com]

She was suspicious... But I don't think she would have, um, killed him.

((Displacement?))
