WEEK 5.

[trustfellows]

WEEK 5 Tabitha Smith, Sigrun Eide, and Solf J Kimblee are all dead. Regardless of what you think of the trial or the events leading up to it, there's no denying that you can feel the dent in your numbers now. After all, ten people are gone now. It may be hard, but all you can do is keep going. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; come Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock and there are no dead bodies to be found, so it can be assumed that all of you are safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... What with Jericho's excitement at the last trial, it's evident now more than ever that the new floor that's opened up to you is a gift, a reward for a job well-done. Because while surviving is something that you'll continue to try to do of your own merit...well. Let's say that he's so, so very proud of you.

[Oh. ...Oh, she hadn't pieced it together. It was hard for Kirei to keep a genuinely amused smile off his face, but he schooled his expression into something as impassive as possible.]

I'm afraid she is very difficult to keep track of at this point.

[heritrix]

[Anybody else would have at this point, but the obvious answer is the unthinkable, between her Mage Sensibilities© and lack of full context. Even when the thought occurs to her, it seems absurd.]

...Kirei.

[It feels like a heavy weight has been laid over her chest, like a sense of dread. Rin keeps it off her face, but it leaks into her voice somewhat. She sounds less assured than she was a moment ago.]

Is Sakura the vessel?

[Unhappy as Rin always thought she looked, Sakura's supposed to be the Matou heir. For a mage family whose bloodline has become weaker and weaker over the generations, she should have been invaluable to them, and their salvation. If Zouken Matou was going to create his own vessel for the Lesser Grail, it should be anyone but her.

But if Kirei's being this wishy-washy, who else could it be?]

[blackmass]

[Some days, life was very good to him.]

It would indeed seem so. Left unchecked, Sakura Matou may kill the entire population of Fuyuki at the absolute minimum.

1/2

[heritrix]

[Oh.

Rin's color has gone ashen, and her eyes wide. If she could, she would leave the room, but she's not so weak.

...]

[heritrix]

[And just like that, Rin pulls her shoulders back and seemingly recovers, save for her pallor.]

I don't even have to ask what the Rin Tohsaka of that world will do. ...Well, that's her problem, not mine.

[blackmass]

Of course not. She seemed quite set upon the obvious conclusion, as far as I can remember.

[heritrix]

It's not like there are other options. [For a definite statement, she sounds uncharacteristically unsure making it. It might be why she just keeps talking.] Her situation will be worse than my own when I get home.

[The Mage's Association is not going to be happy with her, with that secret Jericho deemed to leak. Rin expects to stand trial for that, among other consequences, but it feels like a smaller disaster in comparison to all of this. A Category 4 hurricane compared to a Category 5.

Reaching into a back pocket for something, she intends to hand something off to Kirei and navigate the conversation to a natural conclusion, but another thought occurs to her.]

What's Emiya-kun's role in all of this? Is he still alive?
