Fate/Zero Cafe Ryuunosuke would like to talk today.

[kindofademon]

What do you mean 'I need a separate username or I'll just confuse people'? Sure, this is kind of a weird name, but how different could I be in a universe where I don't work at the cafe?

Anyway! I've heard we have a birthday boy today! So I put up some decorations at the cafe for when my coworker comes in. And I promise none of them have anything to do with Caster's stuff.

Honest! Waver doesn't like that kind of thing anyway, so that'd just be rude.

[She's going to grab his hand. Look at that large smile. Someone's really happy.]

I'm Mary!

[kindofademon]

[Awww, she's so cute. Ryuunosuke shakes her hand.]

My name's Ryuunosuke. Nice to meet you!

[arealgirl]

[Giggle. Who says the real world isn't fun?]

Ryuu-no-suke. [She's sounding it out.] Ryou...no...suke... [She's not good with foreign words.] Ryu! [Okay, just calling him by a nickname.] We'll be friends forever!

[kindofademon]

Yeah, we will!

[Nicknames work for him, especially from vaguely foreign children.] Do you go to lots of parties?

[arealgirl]

I haven't been to any... [Not ones that were more than just dolls, anyway.] But I'm sure they're a lot of fun!

[kindofademon]

That's no good at all, you've got to come to lots of them then!

[arealgirl]

Do you think Ib can come, too? She's my sister! [So weird calling her that now but.. Well. She doesn't want to be apart from her.]

[kindofademon]

I'm sure she's just as cute as you if she's your sister. Of course she can come!

[arealgirl]

Good! I don't want to leave her alone.

[kindofademon]

Sounds like you're a good sister to her.

[arealgirl]

I really like Ib so I try really hard.

[kindofademon]

I have a little sister. We were never really close, though.

[arealgirl]

I have a few older sisters but they never really let me do anything.

[kindofademon]

That's so mean of them.

[arealgirl]

Yeah! They said it was dangerous for me to go out...but I showed them!

[kindofademon]

It's not like you're going to meet a serial killer if you go out or something.

[arealgirl]

Serial killer...? What's that?

[Her new friend, obviously.]

[kindofademon]

A serial killer is somebody who kills more than one person in separate incidents.

[arealgirl]

[There's a vague idea of what death is in her mind but it's not very clear. She gets a little more quiet, though.]

Killing someone--getting them out of the way, right?

[kindofademon]

Like that. Permanently.

[This Ryuunosuke has a morbid fascination with serial killers. He can tell her allll about them.]

[arealgirl]

So...it can be a good thing, right?

[Mary no]

[kindofademon]

The person killed wouldn't like it much.

[arealgirl]

So it's bad?

[kindofademon]

Usually considered to be bad, yeah.

[arealgirl]

I see...

[Welp. Well, she's not going to tell anyone about that anyway.]
