[ Walking down the streets today is one annoyed little girl; she takes on the appearance of one who should be eight years old, but is, in actuality, eighteen. She's old enough. Of course, her manner of dress should already be a tell tale sign that she's new, as well as the anger that spread across her feet as ice, forcing others who might be in the general vicinity to possibly slip and fall.

But of course she's not included in the whole slipping thing, just frowning as she watches this happen. ]

This isn't Avalon! I'm not supposed to be here—! [ Just leave her alone, she's stomping her feet angrily pretty much like a spoiled brat who's on a temper tantrum. ]

Comments

[eyeswideopen]

That's how it always happens. [There's one person that isn't slipping on the ice. He stands on it as if it were just part of the street. Komaeda walks over to her as he continues.]

We don't know how we get here but I imagine you don't care about that. You're icing the street.

[worldcup]

Of course I don't.

[ Illya is all smiles, but it's clear that her expression is ice cold even through it all. ]

And why does it matter? You seem to be doing fine on top of the ice, onii-chan.

[eyeswideopen]

People do use this street. I can imagine that's no trouble for you but, [But it's disruptive to other people. If she won't handle the ice... He sweeps his hand out, heat rising into the air and pouring over the road.

The ice is forced back until it's just around her feet.]

Any questions?

[worldcup]

[ She opens her mouth for a few seconds, as if to come up with a retort before pressing her lips together, firm as she looks rather interested by what he just did. ]

... Are you a magus?

[eyeswideopen]

No. I'm an wielder of Dunamis. [Magus? That's a new term. He notes it as his hand falls back to his side.] But people do call it, 'emotion magic'. Why?

[worldcup]

Emotion magic. . . [ She murmurs this to herself before nodding. ]

I see, so it's something like that. It seems someone meddled in the middle, then. Hey, onii-chan. Have you heard of the holy grail before?

[ It seems that she's completely dodging the question. ]

[eyeswideopen]

[Something about the way she said holy grail doesn't match up with the European legends he's familiar with. Komaeda folds his arms over his chest, as he says,] There are a number of European and international legends about the relic but, that's all I've heard.

Does it deal with Magus? [He's not so easily turned aside when he fixes his attention on a subject.]

[worldcup]

I see. Well, it's not entirely incorrect. [ She's referring to the legends, of course. ]

But as for whether it deals with magi, it does, in fact.

[eyeswideopen]

I haven't heard anything like that. There might be others who know what you're talking about. People from all sorts of worlds come here. Mine is...rather mudane. [And that is a lie. But he's not about to throw people from his world under the bus. Especially not Hinata.] I do have one piece of advice. Never lose your crystal.

[worldcup]

Is it, now.

[ Illya isn't one to believe someone just by what the say initially, so she doesn't. However, she does tilt her head to the side, blinking several times in confusion. ]

... Why? Is it important?

[eyeswideopen]

So long as you like living it is. At most you can stay away from it for two weeks. After that this dying world will start to draw your emotiona out of you. It's a painful way to go. [Whether she believes him or not that is rather important to say.] A crystal lets you operate the tech of the city and communicate on the telepathic network. So essentially, you could say society weaves quite a bit of importance into their crystals.

With good reason.

[worldcup]

[ All that draws out is a small curtsy from the smaller girl, being polite. ]

Then I shall thank you for helping me out with this information. And I suppose I should introduce myself as well. [ Since it is only polite. She is a noble magus, after all. ] My name is Illyasviel von Eiznbern; heir to the Einzbern family.

[eyeswideopen]

[Komaeda bows briefly, being just as polite.] I'm Komaeda Nagito, liason to Peromei, aspect of hope and despair.

There is the welcome center for a great deal of information. And mm, I'll tell you another thing that's important. Be sure to read the report in the library. Even if you don't believe any of us, that will help you.
