homeless, looking around (canon is fate/extra)

[codes]

Dear mun,

Please find me a game where I can have my "avatar" over my true appearance. It'd be strange to have to explain the dye job, don't you agree? A distraction that's not worth the time spent explaining it.

Besides I think after a year of playing up the "tech-dumb" that it's time for you to embrace the "tech-smart" or in this case, the "tech-brilliant". That sounds more of a title fit for me, don't you agree?

What else is there to say? [ Oh! ] I demand that wherever I go, that I have a Servant at my side. It'd be damaging to my reputation to be without one and h-hey! Why are you moving the cursor down the post button so soon?!

Pushy aren't we? What's up, panties in a knot? You'll only regret rushing.

[codes]

If they were in a knot, it'd be a shame with a skirt this short. Who knows who might see?

[ Flashing a smirk. ] I never regret going for what I want. When I set my eyes on something, I take it when I can. That's just the way it should be.

There's only a chance for regret if you wait around. Is that your sort of tactic then?

[doesnotgetit]

[Oh right, people can chance the appearances of their avatars... it only really happened with Shinji, so Hakuno kind of forgot that it was a thing.]

... What's so bad about being in a game where you have your true appearance? It can't be that horrible.

[codes]

It is that horrible. Not that there's anything wrong with me, but I have a reputation to uphold.

[ She doesn't want to deal with dumb blonde jokes. ]

You wouldn't understand.

[doesnotgetit]

No, I don't really understand. I'm sure you look perfectly fine in the real world... so why is it so important to chance that?

[apprenticemage]

The war's over, Tohsaka... It's not necessary to have a Servant anymore.

[codes]

Who says I want a Servant for that purpose?

[ Ufufu. ] I think it'd be fun to have one just to boss around.

[apprenticemage]

[ Wait why is your hair yellow you're not a Super Saiyan are you... ]

You still haven't changed.

[autocratic]

Ah, it seems the harpy still sings her cries to anyone who would be willing to listen. How fortunate for you, Rin, that I am wont to answer out of the generosity of my heart.

[codes]

Generosity? Is that the best excuse you can come up with?

Sheesh Saber, I thought someone of your vocabulary could spin a better web of untruths.

[autocratic]

You do not think me capable of magnanimity? Your knife of a tongue is still as sharp as ever, but only potent to those with weaker wills than mine. It appears you yourself are not aware of your lost touch... or perhaps are willfully ignoring it, as you are liable to do.

[nominisexpers]

['As expected of Tohsaka-san, she zeroes in on her mun without mercy...']

You do know it doesn't really work when you're talking to them, right?

[codes]

[ To be fair the mun does deserve it. ]

I can be very convincing, Hakuno-kun or have you forgotten Week One already?

[nominisexpers]

The one where you thought I was a NPC?

[Y e p.]

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

...What's so bad about a change in hair color?

[codes]

Because there's a lot of sayings that have to do with my original hair color.

"Blondes have more fun!" is the most accurate, but there are more unfavorable alternatives out there.

[ Like all of the jokes having to do with blondes. Although that leads one to question why Rin didn't go ahead with the "smart" choice of hair color (red)? ]

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

...Couldn't you just dye it some other color, then?

[Something this particular bowlcut catches onto with startling speed, apparently, because he just saw through that.]

[puppy_lancer]

That's a lot of demands.

[He blinks.]

And haven't I seen you somewhere before?

[codes]

Is it wrong of a girl to state what she wants so openly?

If so, I don't ever want to be right!

[ As for that other question? ] I don't know. You remind me a lot of someone I know, but you're lacking that certain glow. It's as though my loyal puppy rolled around in the trash a bit.

[puppy_lancer]

Nah, I knew girls who would make even more demands. Just that a mun might not be so free with giving you what you want.

[He frowns, and then pouts.]

Hey, if anything, I'm better than that other Lancer. For one thing, I'm sure I've got more energy. But you. Now, you can give some other little ladies a run for their money when it comes to having an edge.

[Still nicer than Misaya, though.]

I hope you don't mind a late thread!

[infinitejustice]

...Tech-brilliant, you say? And what's this about a dye job and an avatar now? Are you a gamer of some kind?

You know me and late

[codes]

That's right. I don't like to brag--[ That's a lie, she does too enjoy bragging. ]--but I'm probably the smartest person you'll ever meet. The most gifted too when it comes to hacking and cast codes.

As for that other stuff, of course. What kind of loser bases their real avatar off of what they look like in real life? Not that I'm ugly or anything. I just don't want a creepy stalker.

Now that you mention it, yes. We've always been able to backtag into forever together.

[infinitejustice]

[He doesn't look very impressed. If anything, he looks rather dubious.]

They say that talk is cheap, you know. Perhaps I ought to put your knowledge to the test. I'd have to dig through my old archives, but I'm sure I could come up with a security program for you to attempt to hack.

But what's a code cast? I've never heard of that before.

Many people do, but not to a degree that there's an actual striking physical resemblance. They just pick a few options that are close. But from the way you said it, it sounds like the only thing different about your avatar's appearance is your hair color. So, why enact that kind of change?

so late...

[misukume]

I think I like your tech-dumb self a bit better, Tousaka-chan~

NEVER TOO LATE WITH ME

[codes]

A shame that there's no version of you I can stand to return the sentiment.

Oh well.
