I just want a bit part in your life

...

Could I have my normal clothes back now, please? This isn't funny.

((In all icons, Issei appears to be wearing this. Background roses not included.))

Everyone here seems to be a great, noble hero, or else a powerful villain, or else someone who has to save the world, or at the very least someone famous and important. I'm not even that important in my hometown, let alone my country or world.

This place can make me feel... small, sometimes. Unimportant. Uninteresting. And weak.

Every time I've truly needed to do something, I couldn't accomplish it. When Caster kidnapped Midou, I couldn't stop Kuzuki from being killed for the second time. Shirou survived whatever Einzbern did, but it wasn't because of me. Who knows? Rider might be right, I might have made things worse. And Archer - I'd give anything to free Archer from his fate, but what can I do? I'm no one. I can't help him at all.

It's surprising that anyone here even notices my existence.

I'd like to go home now, please.

((Immediately following this.))

Please ignore everything I've said in the past few days about my relationship status.

[Locked to Rin; hackable with skill.]
Tohsaka, please forgive Archer for his recent behavior - he was virused, it wasn't his fault, I'm certain he would have spent the holiday with you had he known he was involved with you.

[Locked to Archer; hackable with skill.]
...are you all right, Archer?
[/Locked]

[The video camera flicks on as Issei sits back down in his chair, obviously having stood up to turn it on. He seems a bit nervous, swallowing a few times before he finally speaks.]

I wasn't sure what would be the best thing to do in this situation, since it's impossible to say which of us should go first, but it would be a shame if neither of us ended up getting any chocolate, and frankly I thought you'd appreciate me taking the 'girl's' role.

I'm not sure how good my cooking is, either. I apologize in advance for that, but...

[He lifts up an obviously hand-wrapped box - probably a box of chocolates, given what he said - into the camera's view, and beams. And blushes, naturally, but that's typical of Issei.]

Happy Valentine's Day, Archer. Would you like me to deliver this to you, or would you prefer to come here for it?

((All replies will be in video unless otherwise noted~ Archer-mun, I hope this is okay?))

Tohsaka, I've given Archer time to ask you himself, but I only have so much patience.

Apparently Archer has no hobbies or anything he does for personal enjoyment. This is clearly unacceptable, and I invited him on an outing so he can learn to enjoy himself. However, I'm uncertain of what he would enjoy, and he suggested that you might have some suggestions.

He also wanted to invite you along, to which I have reluctantly agreed.

Please respond as soon as possible.

((This isn't locked to Rin, so others can comment and tease Issei about this totally-not-a-date.))

At the moment, the blanket on Issei's hotel bed was missing.

Said blanket was wrapped around Issei in an effort to ignore the fact that he... she had a wildly different figure now. If she didn't see it, it didn't exist.

This was not working very well.

"Ha... and I thought my life couldn't get any more bizarre."

Sighing, Issei buried her head in her hands and waited for Archer to arrive.

...I would've thought that a classmate dying would have had more of an effect on me. Even if it is Mato.

This is worrisome...
