1. I am unfamiliar with basketball so I'm not sure.

2. You can probably find new clothes if you take the time to look around. What do you mean your uniform is busted up?

Hello my name is Link, sorry you and your friend found yourself here but we are all in this together. If you want to ask me questions its ok.

[ Saber is in a slight pickle. She wants to play sports. She really wants to play sports. But this Utena's friend, Himemiya, seems quite ill at ease with Saber and her royal status. It's possible that Utena feels just as uneasy, and Saber wouldn't want to impose...

Ah, truly a pickle. But in the end, Saber's desire to play sports is an itch too strong to resist, and so she takes a chance and shoots Utena a private message in blue. ]

Greetings. I am referred to as Saber (blue), and I am a king. This is not a commonly known fact, and I would appreciate your discretion on the matter.

I am sending you a private message because I am interested in engaging in sports with you, but I am not certain if such an arrangement would be mutually agreeable. It was my observation that Himemiya is not entirely comfortable around royalty, though she was too polite to voice that feeling aloud, and I hope I am not being too presumptuous in my assumption of its truth.

As you appear to be close friends, I do not wish to encroach upon Himemiya's comfort, nor yours if you share a similar distaste for members of the royal class. I will take no offense if you decide for any reason that playing sports with me would be too troublesome. However, if you are still willing, then I would very much like to engage with you in any sport of your choice.

You have my best regards.

[ Was that too formal? Very possibly... but better to be longwinded and clear than risk lying by omission. ]

I do not know much about sports, but I can try and sew your clothes up if you need help.

"unfamiliar?" you've really never heard of it? where are you from? maybe it's called something else where you're from, you use a bouncy orange ball and you throw it through a hoop for points

[she sounds really rude but she's mostly stupid, bear with her.]

oh i was in a fight. its my school uniform but its ruined and i don't want to wear it anyway

hi link! its nice to meet you :) i didn't like being in this place to start with but now that himemiya's here it's not so bad.

CHUCHU

and chuchu. thank you for the welcome. i have another question and that's what kind of sports do you play where you're from?

[Utena pushes Chuchu off to the side upon receiving the private message, ignoring his complaints, and reads over it, thoughtful.

A king? Not a prince but something like it...maybe worse. She thinks of Dios stroking her cheek as she rested there, in agony at the edge of the world, and tenses up without realizing it.

Maybe she should be careful.

But this person seemed nice enough, and appeared more interested in respecting boundaries than crushing them underfoot, as she had by now seen so many men do. And Anthy didn't like most people...

It still takes her a while to respond.]

a king, huh...well i won't tell anyone but why are you keeping it a secret? should i call you king saber or is saber ok. i guess saber's ok since you don't want anyone to know, right? but i still feel as if i should call you something else...

himemiya's very quiet and it's hard to know what she's thinking....she's doesn't like being around a lot of people. it's not your fault. it's hard to explain. did she say something to you? what happened?

it's nice of you to ask first, a lot of people wouldn't. i wouldn't call it "distaste..." i don't know how to explain this stuff.

for now if i start a game you can come and i'll meet you and decide for myself what kind of person you are! that's my decision.

you don't? what kind of things do you like then?

and gee that's nice of you but i don't have anything to give you in return! besides i think himemiya's working on something but in the meantime all the clothes here are pretty lame. have you seen them?

[ Oh no... She has to think about that question for a while. What does she like? No one's ever asked her straight out before. Her response takes a lot of backspacing and erasing. ]

I like cleaning and helping people. Sometimes I sew and I've tried taking care of plants. I haven't really had the opportunity for sports before so I haven't thought about it. I'm sorry...

And I don't mind if you don't have anything. I'd rather help someone than get anything in return.

I have seen a few outfits around, but most everyone I've seen was wearing ball gowns. Are there more clothes? The rest of them looked normal to me.

[ The ball gown thing was too distracting for her to really pay attention to more mundane clothes. ]

i like helping people too! i'm not as good at cleaning...so you must be a pretty organized person, huh? himemiya likes plants too! i think she could grow anything if she put her mind to it

it's ok if you don't know what sports you like. maybe once i can move around again, i can show you a few! i'm pretty good at them

:)

it's alright. i think it's best to let the uniform go. i don't think i'll be going back to that place anymore. the dresses were terrible but nothing else seems very stylish either :( i'll wear anything but a dress though i guess.

CHU

oi

chuchu wants to know if you like animals.

Edited 2019-05-24 21:59 (UTC)

I'm not good at taking care of them yet, but I have a plant that my brother and sister bought me. I'm trying to take care of it the best I can. I'm used to taking care of people, but I've never owned a plant before.

And that's very nice of you... but I'm not very good at running or anything. If there's anything that you'd like to play and you need someone, I will do the best I can. Are there any sports that are easier...?

[ What's that symbol...? Uki stares at the message, confused, but she tilts her head and then it suddenly clicks. Maybe she should try it out; this person was nice enough to send her one, so she should return the favor. ]

:)

If I find any clothes, I will let you know. Maybe you can find something you like.

Also, I am not very good with animals either. I don't see very many, and I've never taken care of one. But I like them.

Edited 2019-05-24 22:32 (UTC)

how's this? if you tell me what kinda plant it is, i'll ask himemiya. i bet she'll know how to take care of it. i'm not any good at that kind of stuff. it takes a lot of patience. what kind of people do you take care of? your family?

hm...no good at running, huh. well, how about swimming? that's not too hard. it's easier on your joints than running! as long as you're not afraid of water, that's an easy sport to learn.

oh, and thanks! i could really use the help :)

chuchu's always with me or himemiya...he's a little purple monkey. (? i don't know what kind)

[let it be known that she looks over to Chuchu for confirmation, who shrugs.]

small enough to fit into your hands, i bet. i used to think i wasn't any good with animals either, until i met him.

It's called a schefflera. Thank you for asking, I appreciate it. I want to treat it as best I can. It's the first thing someone bought for me.

[ Good thing she memorized that name as soon as Takuru told her. Otherwise, she'd have no idea how to spell it. ]

Swimming is fine if you wanted to go. I've never gone before. I don't know how to swim, so I hope I won't make it harder for you... but you're very kind to offer. Did you live in a place that had a lot of swimming pools?

I took care of a lot of patients at a hospital. I've been caring for them since I was very little. I don't know what happened to them, but I hope they're okay... And I have a little brother at my new home now, too. He's very shy, but he's been braver recently. I hope he'll be fine without me, too.

[ That last part is... curious. Are there purple monkeys? Then again, nothing here has been entirely normal so far. ]

A purple monkey...? Is it okay if I ask to meet him sometime?

[ Small animals are less scary than big ones. She could deal with the frogs she was cursed with upon jumping out of the well, but a gigantic barking dog would be too much right now. ]

Edited (html SORRY) 2019-05-24 22:58 (UTC)

s-c-h-e-f-f-l-e-r-a. i've got it! me and chuchu will remember that to tell himemiya later. if it's a gift, then it must be special to you.

i can teach you! i think...either way, it's no trouble.

i lived at an academy. ohtori. there were swimming pools on the grounds. that sounds like an important job. were you a nurse?

...i've never had a sibling, so i don't know what that's like, but i bet he's tougher than you think. that's the way it always seems to be.

[Chuchu, seeing the slight dip in her mood, decides to take over.]

chuuuuuuuu023932uuuu
!

haha, i think that means he's fine with it!

Thank you. I think there is a lot of water in the Bluo part of town, from what I've seen. When you're feeling better, I would be happy to go with you.

An academy? I've never heard of Ohtori. Did you like being there? And no, I wasn't a nurse. I was a patient, and then when the doctors left, they told me to take care of everyone else. I was happy to do it.

[ It's... complicated. Her new family didn't quite understand it either. ]

But I want to be a nurse someday, so I can help more people. If you're ever not feeling well, let me know and I'd be happy to help.

Thank you. And thank you, Chuchu. I will come to visit when you'd like me to, okay?

And, also, my name is Uki Yamazoe. I'm sorry I didn't mention it before.

[ Color. ]

There are monsters in the harbor. Do not try to swim there.

[ There are a lot of questions that he doesn't understand, but 'swimming pool' is clear enough and. Probably does merit a warning. ]

[ Color! ]

1. You won't find a basketball court, a pool, or anything similar here. You may be able to find some old sports equipment if you search the abandoned buildings.

[ any equipment around would be from a couple of centuries ago just like everything else in town, but hey, better than nothing. ]

2. Unfortunately, the clothes here are all like that. If you're lucky, maybe completing one of the quests will get you something more to your tastes.

eh? monsters! really?!

what kinds of monsters?

do they ever come out and can you see them from a distance
?

oi...that's so disappointing. what do people do here if there's no sports and no school if i sit around all day i'm gonna shrivel up!

quests? can i take himemiya with me?

CHUCHu

and chuchu?

bluo huh? that's where i'm staying...i think. there's a lot of canals kind of like an old european city

the water's a little creepy but if we go together we should be ok! [stellar Utena logic.

She reads the next bits carefully, and while not the most thoughtful she is at least conscientious enough to know this might be a sensitive topic.]

that's odd...are you ok?

ohtori...was strange and
it's hard to explain too.

you wouldn't believe me if i told you.

[How unusual. A hospital without doctors, like a school without teachers.]

right now i'm alright i don't think i need a doctor.

it's just a
sword wound and i think it's healing ok but it still smarts if i move around too much. [Or breathe or do anything.] i mean that's why i'm stuck in bed that is. i wouldn't want to make you come all this way to help me!
but me and chuchu would look forward to a visit since i can't run around or else himemiya will be upset
it's nice to meet you!

Edited 2019-05-26 01:38 (UTC)

Yes, I'm okay. Thank you for asking.

[ Why wouldn't she be...? Oh, right, the doctors thing. It just isn't strange to her at all, so she didn't think anything odd of saying it like that. She tries to think of the most succinct way to put it, but she didn't have a reason to question any of it. Everyone else she's met has, which still confuses her. ]

I was okay. I just lived there and helped take care of everyone. I liked doing it because I could help people. And then when my new family found me, they lived in a clinic, too. So I have a lot of experience with it. If you ever need me to come look at your wound or bandage it, I can try my best.

[ She doesn't even bat an eye at "sword wound". She knows people with swords too, it's fine.

As far as "you wouldn't believe me" goes, that's about the best Uki can say for her own situation. She ponders over how to respond to that for a while, but she settles on typing: ]

I will listen if you wanted to talk about it someday. I like hearing about different places. I didn't leave the hospital very much, so even if it sounds strange, I like to hear about it.

[ color ]

This town does like to make us suffer!

One time we had a chance to make a wish for something. I wished for something fun to do. Do you know what I got?

Simply calling me Saber will suffice, as it is a title in itself. There is one other Saber here in Chroma, however. I am distinguished as the blue Saber, and she the red. It is difficult to explain in few words why I keep my status a secret, but at this point I suppose it is only a compulsion. I am a Servant, a type of familiar summoned to fight other Servants. In short, hints toward a Servant's true identity can be fatal, as it can also expose the Servant's weaknesses.

I was dressed as a princess when I first encountered Himemiya. She seemed willing to accept my help until she was aware of my appearance, at which point she became noticeably wary. She later seemed to relax when she came to the conclusion that I was not actually a princess, but for the sake of transparency, I felt the need to inform her that I am a king. From then on, she was quite determined to forego any further assistance from me, though I do believe she was as polite as she could be about it.

I am happy to hear your decision and hope to live up to your standards. Please let me know as soon as possible.

Some people spend their time in the library or play old board games. Others pass the time doing quests. I've picked up beekeeping, something I never would have considered before, but suddenly having so much free time has forced me to find new hobbies.

Someone called #FFFFFF posts a new batch of quests once a month. You can bring anyone you want with you as long as the color requirements are met.

Is Chuchu a pet?

I am from the Kingdom of Hyrule. My name is Link.

I'm not familiar with that game although my home does have plenty of children's games involving a ball. I don't know how to play any myself. Sorry...

What is chuchu? You have a pet chuchu? What color?

I saw very little. Tentacles. A dragon went into the water and never flew back out.

[ These are things that he saw. More than enough to warrant a warning. ]

ah gee that's really nice of you. if it gets worse i will contact you but for now i think i will be ok

[Didn't leave the hospital much...it sounded so sad. She'd been in a hospital once, briefly, after her parents were gone, and had hated it even though the doctor and nurses were nice. It didn't change the fact that she had been there at all, and it didn't change the reason behind it.

Though the idea of burdening a stranger with the oddities and horrors of Ohtori seemed even worse than the depressing sameness of hospital life. Already her mind was working, editing out the bad things, leaving only the good.

It was harder to do now than it had been, all the times before.]

ok i will be happy to tell you about ohtori!

there is some stuff i can't talk about because it's not my story to tell. but as long as that's ok i can tell you any story you want
