streetwalkers | Team Tinies IDK WHAT'S HAPPENING

That is reasonable. Then I will say, first, that having your trust is of great interest to me, moreso than what one would expect from a partnership of this nature. That is why I'm choosing to speak plainly with you now.

Oh...?

[Now he's very curious, and also confused. We just met dude what is your deal?]

[Mother fucker, dad, you're busting his balls here, he just wants this to be a little easier.]

As you know, time is not linear for a servant. It's this phenomenon that allows magi like yourself to summon spirits from countless eras, not simply from the distant past, but from the future as well.

[Fuck this. Fuck everything. Fuck whatever Thing you used to summon him, dad, seriously.]

Knowing that, and knowing that I have a vested interest in you, it's possible for you to predict what I'll say next, but for you, I will be transparent. My true name is Emiya Shirou, and in life I called Emiya Kiritsugu father.

[Things we never talk about: this.]

I hope you now understand why I was reluctant to share my identity.

[wait

what what]

[no that does not make sense he does not have a son

but here he is making a modern breakfast

but]

[and that's a really stupid thing to lie about and it does line up...]

[and if he was called by Avalon it makes even more sense

so

SO...]

[so then he gets a son later?

that means he survives the war!

that's good?]

[wait no if he gets a son and the son becomes a Heroic Spirit that means that he definitely did not get his wish]

[well

fuck]

[this

yeah this icon pretty much]

[This is, 100%, the exact opposite of what he wanted.]

...realize that it is likely that I am not a part of your future. You shouldn't see me as a prediction of things to come.

[nope too late already did]

...If you know what went wrong in your timeline, please tell me.

[I have to avert it. I have to get this right!]

You're unafraid of tampering with things? I'll assume you're unaquainted with most science fiction, then.

[...oh. That might have been bad timing. After a short pause, he sighs and begins again.]

...I will advise you when I can. Unfortunately it was not much of a stretch when I said my memories are incomplete.

If I don't try to make it different, then it's encouraging your result, isn't it? There's no other choice.

There are no other appealing choices; regardless, I can't argue with your reasoning.

So you'll help me make this timeline different. You should know what I wish for...

Naturally. You wish for the impossible. Something so naive and idealistic that only an objective equally as fantastic can grant it to you.

[His words are harsh, but his tone is almost fond, in an embarrassed sort of way]

[He knows it's naive and idealistic, so he can't get mad at hearing it that way. Still, he must continue to pursue that impossible miracle.]

Of course. It isn't anything that could be achieved by normal means. But the Great Grail may just be able to make that fantasy a reality. That's what we have to count on.

You say "we" as though I've consented to this madness.

You're here, aren't you?

[A laugh - he certainly agreed to this in that respect, didn't he?]

I am.

And you said you'd leave the wish to me. You should know I'm unlikely to succeed without your participation.

And I guaranteed you success, didn't I?
