[Well... This isn't Fuyuki.]

[Kiritsugu hasn't been doing so well since the fire. Even if it was a month ago, he still finds a little of his strength leaving him with every passing day. The last thing he needed was to wake up in a place completely unfamiliar to him.]

[Trying to regain his bearings, he starts looking around the

[And that's when he walks by a ginormous fellow in full Astartes mark IV battle plate, the servomotors on it whirring slightly as he walks.]

[maguskiller]

[...And now he just has no idea where he is.]

Do you live here?

[lunawolves10th]

[The giant nods.]

For the moment, yes, and so do you, now. My condolences.

[maguskiller]

I see...

Has anyone been able to escape?

[magicalillya]

[Truth to be told, after seeing quite a few people coming and entering her "house" as a new occupant, Illya becomes a bit used to seeing some suddenly appearing in her house. so when she notices that there's new person here, she immediately moves to greet him.]

Umm, are you ne-[and she finally recognizes who this new person is.]...papa?

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu freezes. Granted, he has been trying to rescue his daughter from the Einzberns for a month, but after having his attempts foiled, even he was starting to doubt himself a little.]

[Not that any of that matters anymore, because--]

I...Illya?

[magicalillya]

[And after blinking to double check that this isn't really a dream, she runs to hug him right away. After meeting the alternate Shirou and Rin, she knew that he might not be the same person she knows. But even if that is the case, the fact that a version of father is right in front of her was enough for now.]

You're...really here, right?

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu returns the hug, almost lifting Illya off her feet as he does so. He does not recognize the slight height difference, being far too happy with finally seeing her again to do so.]

...I am. Daddy's here.

I missed you so much, Illya.

[And in his walking about, Kiritsugu would likely eventually walk past this perfectly normal guy in perfectly normal civilian clothes.]

[...And with a perfectly normal steel lance leaning against his shoulder. Sure, it wasn't his Noble Phantasm, but he'd long since gotten into the habit of carrying it with him.]

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu may not be great at using magic, but even he's able to sense faint hints of prana from this distance.]

[Not that he knows there are any Servants here. Have a guy looking at you inquiringly, Lancer.]

[riastrad_ridire]

[Fortunately enough--or unfortunately, depending on perspective, Lancer at that moment was little more than a human with rune magecraft and a Noble Phantasm. Inconvenient, but enough to get by.]

Hm? [But he didn't need to be a Servant to know when someone was looking at him funny.] Something wrong?

[...yes, because carrying a lance is nothing that would ever get you funny looks. Idiot.]

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu looks completely calm, despite being ready to dash at a moment's notice.]

Are weapons necessary around here?

[maguskiller]

[Despite all conventional logic dictating it impossible, Rin does remind Kiritsugu of Tokiomi Tohsaka. Not because he knows her, mind, but because after obsessing over killing a man for a weeks, simply seeing his choice of colors is enough to remind you of him.]

[Of course, this is nothing more than a fleeting thought. He believes he's thousands of miles away from Fuyuki, after all. Not even recognizing the distinct use of magic is able to bring out anything more than vague suspicion.]

[maguskiller]

You're a Magus, aren't you?

[...No, he's not actually trying to change the sunject. Kiritsugu's just that bad with social norms.]

[Usually, he'd be a lot more discreet about this, but he figures that since the war's over, he has more chances of gathering information than being attacked.]

[recluserose]

[Amelia's been exploring the town on foot as well. A bit inconvenient without magic, but she was in no position to complain.

Still, the neighborhoods were a pain to navigate especially when everything looked the same. But she got out of there at least and is now nearing Kiritsugu-- even she could tell he was doing some kind of search. ]

Hm... Let's see... Hello?

[maguskiller]

Hello. Are you another resident of this place?

[recluserose]

You could say that, but I've only been here for less than a week. I'm still trying to get used to this situation we've found ourselves in.

[maguskiller]

Likewise. For now, it's best to gather as much information as possible.
