And there was the perky blonde, stepping into the cafe and that was when she watched the entire scene unfold. Something wasn’t quite right, that was for sure. Without any hesitation, the blonde made her way towards the other who had fallen over.

“Oh my gosh, are you okay?!” Star said in a worried tone, taking her wand out before twirling it in her hand. “I’ll have you cleaned up in a minute.”

“Squeaky Clean Bath Beam!” She called out.

And in a flash, the center of her childish, pink wand began to glow and she summoned a bathtub with water and rubber ducks in it. The blue eyed princess turned to use her wand to levitate the clumsy girl, “Levitato.” She said simply and then she landed the girl into the bath tub.

“There you go! You should be clean in no time!”

“I’m fine, I think--” Hana managed to answer, letting out a sigh as she made to push herself up. But then the other girl continued speaking, as if she was reciting some sort of spell--definitely not any kind of magecraft she recognized. But then again, she probably wouldn’t, not exactly. Especially without the doctor or Da Vinci explaining it to her. The curse of being an average person thrown into the mess of magecraft. 

Her eyes widened as she found herself lifted off the ground, her lips parting in surprise. The only coherent thought that managed to leave her lips following that was a rather smart “Huh?” before she suddenly found herself in the bathtub the girl had conjured from...thin air?

Hana couldn’t help but stare, baffled but also amazed. “How did you do that?” she asked, trying to think of any Servant ability she’d seen that could do that..but the most she could come up with was the floating book that made up Nursery Rhyme’s initial stage. 

As the water seeped into her clothes, she looked down at a rubber duck, suddenly realizing the situation she was in. “Ah...this might have been a bit much?”

Well, she appreciated it either way.

disaster strikes || [open]

She liked to think she was doing a pretty good job. This was probably the kind of job she would have ended up in if Chaldea hadn’t hired her. Her life would have been totally ordinary. She wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing..though she did care greatly about the people she’d met because of that stroke of fate.

Still, having to adjust to normal again was...odd. But at least she hadn’t made any mistakes! She was doing well! No messed up orders, no spills. Maybe she could do this! Maybe she wasn’t a complete klutz! 

But no, she spoke too soon. The minute the slightly confident thought entered her head, she tripped, the tray in her hands sailing over her head as her face planted into the floor, and then before she could even recover, the tray landed directly on her head. 

“Ow...” she grumbled. Great. Now everyone in the cafe had just witnessed her totally eat it. Welp. Just one more thing that was like her old life before Chaldea.

Somehow her words just sent him into a slight panic again. When she relied on him it made him feel a bit guilty. He really wasn’t any good compared to the other servants.. She really would have been better off with any other servant really. 

He was going to die. Really going to die. He actually wanted to scream. Mandricardo was so conflicted by her next words and she was already moving on before he had a chance to fully process them or respond. Happiness and guilt just kept colliding and causing a feeling of anxiety that made him restless. He really, really, needed to do his best for her. Even if he wasn’t strong enough he could at least be her meat shield. That had to count for something.

“Y-Yeah…” he rubbed at the back of his neck, cheeks flushed an even deeper crimson as he followed behind her to the door. “I’m not too good at pickin’ clothes..” All the other servants kept looking so much fancier in their ascensions and there he was tacking on small, random details that honestly didn’t do too much. It was kind of embarrassing, but it served to get his mind off of whatever else was eating at him in the moment.

“Uh, hey. Let me get the door first. Ya don’t know what could happen..” Without missing a beat, he puts himself between her and the door and carefully opens it and is immediately assaulted by the sun. Mandricardo squints, eyes practically tearing up at the brightness before his eyes finally adjust and focuses on his surroundings. There’s no sense of hostility or anything strange in sight.

“Everything looks good, Master. Lead the way. I got yer back.”

At least her back had been turned. Her blush certainly would have been worse if she had seen the look on his face at her words. Embarrassing. She really was happy though. She trusted him and believed in his abilities. He’d proven himself before, but he still seemed to worry...well, she could understand. She didn’t think she was a good Master. Someone with more experience and better Mage Circuits would have been able to draw out his full potential. 

Still, together they’d just do the best they could. That was what was important, right? And once the clothes situation and figuring out their location was settled, maybe then she could try to establish contact with Chaldea. Though it was important, it was at least lower on her list of priorities right now. The most important thing was getting their situation figured out.

“Huh? ...Oh.” She blinked as he cut in front of her so smoothly, opening the door to check. Similarly, she cringed at the sudden intrusion of the sunlight, raising her hand to shield her eyes a bit. “I didn’t even think about that..” And yet, instinct said she should have, but the fact this seemed to be modern day where she didn’t feel some sort of oppressive...force bearing down on her was really throwing her off.

Once he gave the all clear, she stepped out after him. As her eyes adjusted, she took in their surroundings and an odd feeling of nostalgia settled bone deep within her. Swallowing hard and shoving down the thoughts of her old life, she nodded and began to walk. At least now she could see they really were in an apartment complex...but as she looked up at the sky, she sucked in a breath, eyes wide.

“Rider! The...The ring is gone,” she choked out, grabbing onto his sleeve. “The ring in the sky that Solomon made when everything was destroyed!” It had been present in every Singularity they’d been to--a constant reminder of their struggle. And yet..this was a perfectly clear, normal sky..

“Is this....not a Singularity at all..? Did we....win?”

“Ah… Oh.” At first he thought she was being pessimistic and his stomach was in knots trying to figure out what he could say to cheer her up or disprove that, but when he noticed the smile he sighed in relief, offering a small one of his own. “Well, that puts me at ease at least.” he offered. Even if it had been just a joke he was still relieved that she was there with him and he didn’t have to face such a bizarre world on his own. 

The male blinked in confusion as Hana turned to him, studying him. Was she now reconsidering her circumstances with such a third rate servant at her side?! Mandricardo gulped, wondering what was coming next, brows furrowed as he grimaced. Was she going to fire him? Reprimand him for being such a weak half-assed servant?! 

By the time Hana was finished speaking he hadn’t even had the time to go over what he’d say or how he’d react to any of it. Instead he was completely caught off guard, his wide eyed gaze trained on her as his mouth hung open. “O-Oh. R-Right… My… clothes. …. Ha.” So… her future still included him in it? He released the heaviest sigh.

“Well, then.. I’m in yer care…” 

A small giggle left her lips as she struck a pose, clenching her fist. “Not to worry! This maiden of the modern age will guide you through all you need to know!” It helped put her in brighter spirits at least. At least in this way, he could rely on her the same way she relied on him. A balanced partnership. She was average as a Master. Just barely qualifying really, so if anything...she at least wanted to support him as best as she could.

She blinked at the dazed look on his face, like she’d totally caught him off guard. Ah, right, he must have been panicking. She’d just have to reassure him that she wouldn’t cast him aside. He wasn’t just a Servant...he was her friend too, especially after the battles they’d been through together. 

She grinned brightly at the blush coloring his cheeks, finding that trait of his all too endearing. “I’ll be in yours as well,” she responded. 

Her shoulders relaxed now that they had some sort of plan figured out. It made her feel a little better about the situation, more optimistic. As long as they had a plan in mind, they could deal with the situation one step at a time. First things first would be helping him blend in. She couldn’t help but feel excited. When was the last time she really got to go shopping? It felt like so long ago now...

“For the record though,” she continued, her smile softened, “I’m really glad you’re here with me.”

But that would get embarrassing quick so she started for the door. “Well! We should get started! First thing’s first is finding somewhere to buy clothes!” Come to think of it, she was going to need something more casual herself, huh..

Mandricardo frowned, pursing his lips as he looked away in thought. It was frustrating that he couldn’t offer her anymore information or at least answers to her questions. He shouldn’t say something so irresponsible like she could depend on him or something either. All he had to do was follow her orders and that was simple enough for him.

“I guess that leaves hunkerin’ down and waiting for a call from Da Vinci or we could take to explorin’ and figuring out where we are. Although…” His eyes took the surroundings in of the apartment. The structure sort of reminded him of Chaldea but he wasn’t really used to this architecture. “Yer from modern times, yeah? Anything stickin’ out to ya?” He didn’t know about Hana, but he’d had no time to drink in their surroundings. Not like he’d be much help there. 

“Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I think it’s probably a good idea to stick together as much as we can,” she agreed, crossing her arms over her chest. She was basically useless without a Servant by her side, so she knew she couldn’t really defend herself if she did run into something dangerous without him nearby. Of course, there was always a command seal but..without Chaldea, it was best to use those sparingly, probably. 

She glanced around the apartment at his question, her brows furrowing. “Honestly..it looks like a normal apartment. It looks like my time but..” she trailed off. That couldn’t really be possible, could it? “At the very least, it means I’ll know how to work everything for once,” she smiled wryly, an attempt at a joke. 

“Though..” she began, turning back to examine him, her head tilted to the side. “If this is modern day and we’re going to be exploring...we probably need to get you some modern clothes to help you blend in.” She...didn’t think they could pass him off as someone in a renfaire or a re-enactor..

in the face of despair || junko & hana

@sinfuldespair​

There was a part of her that felt relieved that she couldn’t see the bright ring in the sky, signifying humanity’s future was still in danger. She was adjusting, but she still didn’t want to let her guard down. There was always a chance this was still something she’d have to resolve. But for now, it was neatly tucked in the back of her mind.

After all, this was a nice return to daily life--the sort of thing she’d missed being locked away in Chaldea. It wasn’t something she’d ever thought she’d have again--even if she was a fairly different person than she’d been when she’d first arrived at the facility. She’d stumbled into everything, absolutely clueless like a newborn fawn, only to have such a heavy responsibility fall on her shoulders.

But the weather was nice, so she’d gone on a walk, wanting to familiarize herself with her surroundings. Even if she did run into danger, Rider was only a command seal away. It felt good to feel the sun on her skin again--in a modern setting, anyway. She wondered briefly if that meant she had succeeded--but then again, she still had her command seals and Rider was with her, and there was no word or warning from Chaldea staff..but dwelling on those thoughts would just make her antsy.  

Thankfully, she was drawn out of her thoughts, finding a small object on the ground. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a little mascot character phone charm that had fallen off. Blinking, she looked around, wondering who it could have belonged to. With that thought in mind, she approached the first person she laid eyes on.

“Ah, sorry to bother you but, I saw this on the ground and was wondering if it might be yours?” Well, if it wasn’t she supposed there was some lost and found thing somewhere she could drop it off at. Probably.

old wounds || leorio & hana

@boarish-medic​

In hindsight, she probably should have been properly checked out the moment she’d come back from the Singularity--but she’d been so tired and all her muscles had been aching then that she really didn’t think anything of it. But then again, she hadn’t exactly expected to end up in some strange place either. 

So when she’d noticed the persistent pain in her side and the ugly bruise blooming on the left side of her rib cage, she figured it was probably a good idea to at least make sure nothing was broken. There had been a bunch of bumps and collisions along the way, and a whole lot of fighting.

“I hope it’s just a bruise..” she sighed softly, gently swinging her legs as she sat on the examination table. It almost felt like she was a little kid again, but mostly, she couldn’t help but give a silent apology to Dr. Roman for brushing aside a proper check up to just...sleep.

But she wasn’t in Chaldea anymore so she really only had herself to blame.

okay with the initial stuff out of the way and other things i had to do today, please feel free to like this for a random starter of varying length! i’ll set the cap at 4? that sounds reasonable

Well, this wasn’t the first time he’d been flung somewhere random but at the very least there could have been a warning this time. Like a simple, ‘Hey, sorry. You weren’t cut out to be a servant after all so we’re taking you back now.’ would have sufficed. He was such a horribly weak servant even the beings of this world didn’t bother altering his skills much. Wow, that was kind of depressing. He knew he sucked but this really drove it home.

A familiar voice cut through his gloomy thoughts and reminded him that he could still sense his master nearby. Sensing his master beyond the door in front of him, Mandricardo slowly turned the handle and pulled it open and despite moving so carefully, his master managed to ram straight into him in her hurry. “Whoa!” he placed his hands on the girl’s shoulders to steady her, looking down at her with a mixture of surprise and relief. “Yeah, I’m here.” Though he was a little sorry that she got stuck with him of all servants. But now that it was just him he’d do his best to protect her. 

Still, she shouldn’t expect too much of him.

“Er, did we rayshift or somethin’? Kinda outta the blue don’tcha think?” He removes his hands from the girl’s shoulders and rubs the back of his neck, brows knitted. “I mean, it’s not like I was really doin’ anythin’ important but don’t these things usually come with a warning and instructions?” He sort of had a nagging feeling that he dreamt someone was welcoming him somewhere or something. Which was odd because his last activity at Chaldea didn’t involve him sleeping. 

The collision at least served to knock some sense back into her, even if she’d made a rather ridiculous noise upon impact. Something like a “BWUGH!” might have left her lips. She was just going to deny it ever happened. 

Still, the relief she felt as his hands steadied her was more than she could put into words right then. She wasn’t alone here, at least. She had a trusted ally here, even if he didn’t think too highly of himself. He’d helped her out more than he realized over the course of their time together. She knew she could count on him in a pinch. 

“Thank goodness,” she breathed, though her head was still swarming with unanswered questions. He was just as confused as she was, it seemed, which only made the mystery deepen. He was right though, these things usually came with at least some sort of warning. Not just...happen suddenly with no warning. 

“I’m not sure, honestly. I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time a weird rayshift happened but..” she furrowed her brows, looking off to the side as she gathered her thoughts--a remarkable feat given the current chaos but she’d gotten used to having to think on her feet. “The weird thing is we were supposed to be having a break before we tackled the next Singularity. I don’t think they’d just launch us here with no warning when we’re supposed to be resting up and regaining our strength..” 

“I know I was sleeping but..” she frowned and looked back up at him. “The stranger thing is I can’t feel contact with Chaldea at all. Normally that feeling’s always kind of...there, you know? Even when we were in the desert, I could still sort of tell..But there’s nothing. The only thing I can sense is you. You’re the only one anchored to my command seals right now.”

not in chaldea anymore toto || euryale & hana

@gazeofthegoddess​

Honestly, she was still trying to figure things out. She couldn’t help but be worried about those left behind in Chaldea. It helped that at least she wasn’t completely alone. She really didn’t want to think of what might’ve happened if that wasn’t the case. Still, to suddenly find herself living a new life..it was weird. And maybe she felt a little guilty too.

She was on her way to do a quick grocery run, figuring now was as good a time as any to flex those cooking skills Emiya had taught her. But that was when she noticed a rather...familiar appearance. She blinked and did a double take. Was she just imagining things? 

A tiny blossom of hope rose up within her as she rushed forward, though the nagging thought in her mind was if this was a Singularity, she probably wouldn’t remember her. Unless she came directly from Chaldea herself?

“Euryale! Er--Archer, you’re here too?” she asked, doing her best to brace herself for whatever reaction the other might have.

hidden singularity..? || mandricardo & hana

@unwornsword​

What a weird dream--it wasn’t like falling was anything new to her. There’d been a few wonky rayshifts here and there but...nothing like this. 

Still, she expected to see the white walls of her room in Chaldea when she woke up, just like she did every other time. She expected to be called to the control room, to be briefed on the next mission, even if she was supposed to be resting after resolving the sixth Singularity. But that wasn’t what greeted her at all. These were not the empty white walls of Chaldea. This was just..a normal room. Like the room at home she’d left behind, almost. 

Panic suddenly shot through her as she bolted out of bed, very narrowly avoiding landing in a heap on the floor as she rushed to the door. Had she been rayshifted? It wouldn’t be the first time something weird like that had happened, but the fact there was radio silence from Chaldea’s end, that she could only physically feel one Servant anchored to her right now...what in the world was going on?

“Rider--! Rider, are you there?!” she sputtered, panic rising in her voice. What if something happened? What happened to Chaldea? Mashu and Da Vinci and the Doctor?
