You arrive in an unknown space, dressed in white clothes (player choice what kind of clothes, as long as they cover everything). Whatever was happening to you before no longer happens. It's like everything was put on a pause and you were transferred away from the situation without you realizing it happened.
The space that you find yourself in is one of these four options:
An empty landscape filled with snow and ice, almost like a blank canvas.
A field with cherry blossom trees and spring flowers.
A sunny beach near an ocean that seems never ending.
A quiet forest with falling autumn leaves.
All of the spaces seem to continue endlessly. No matter where or how far you walk it almost seems like you're not moving at all. There are no animals here - just those who happened to wake up there at the same time, in the same place. Everyone is wearing the same kind of plain, white clothes.
Despite the possible rollercoaster of emotions you might be feeling, the place somehow feels familiar. Like somehow you belong there.
And it looks like you're not alone.
After half an hour has passed the surroundings change as everyone is teleported into a room with all the other new arrivals, no matter what space they woke up in. It's a large place with plenty of seats to sit in and beverages to enjoy. Medical attention is offered to those who need it and the doctors here are very prepared for any challenging situations.
Here, in this room, everyone gets an answer to where they are and why. A hologram of a man appears at the center of the room, waiting to be heard. He brings a message on behalf of the leaders of Ellipsa.
The Message [ Click to Expand ]
Hello, my name is Olwen. I'm one of the leaders of Ellipsa as it currently is. I'm also one of the four who summoned you here.
Our world is in trouble and we need your help. I apologize for tearing you away from your world and forcing you to come here but I hope you understand. The magic we used doesn't let us ask in advance, nor does it let us choose who we bring here.
This world is composed of four Seasonal Segments. All of them represent one of the seasons. They were the places we used to get our resources from, but now they're dangerous places no one should go into unless they have the power to fight back. All of them have their own sets of powerful monsters and natural catastrophes.
We used to have plenty of people here who could control the powers of the four Seasons. We called them Seasonal Power Holders. Unfortunately, due to a tragedy you can read about later, we lost almost all of them. Now only four of us remain and the world is in chaos. We have done our best to protect the world, but we need more power holders to do that.
That's where you come in.
All of you have been assigned to one of the seasons. Whatever space you were in just now is what season you represent. You will learn different skills based on the season and those skills are going to help you save this world.
These powers don't interfere with your own natural powers. They use a new energy that has formed inside of you. It's harmless to your health, but it's vital to your seasonal powers. Your own powers should still work, even if the dark energy outside the city might interfere with them.
Unfortunately bringing you here wasn't as simple as it sounds. We couldn't do anything about how to keep you anchored to this world other than making a simple spell that helps with it. That is, you need to touch someone else who is not from this world ideally at least once a day. It will help you stay in control of your powers and boost your magical energy. If you don't, the consequences aren't very good. But as long as you hold someone's hand or give someone a handshake, you should be fine.
That's all I have to say about the situation. The staff of the Research Center will give you more information about housing and other necessary things. I will, however, promise that you will be sent home once the situation becomes better. That's the least we can do.
The hologram can be viewed in private in a separate room later, should someone wish to look at it again. For now, the staff of the Research Center hands everyone their new smartphones with their small flower lucky charms (the flower is anything the player decides). They're also told that the building next door is where everyone can find a room assigned to them with some of their belongings there and possibly even any animal companions. Those concerned about their mount-sizes companions are welcomed to the stables downstairs to see if their friends are there. The mounts are allowed to stay there until you find a place more suitable for them.
Once you get your smartphone and necessary information, you're urged to go out and find your apartment. After that whatever you want to do is up to you.
Part 3
The building next door is where everyone can find their new apartments. As you enter, you're told by a friendly native that for the first two months you can live anywhere rent-free and five meals a day are paid for you. After that they get a monthly payment that helps with some of their living expenses, but otherwise they have to have a job to support themselves.
All of the apartments are comfortable, two bedroom apartments with all necessary utilities. They are also completely soundproof. Sometimes the magic system, however, does glitch and you might find yourself rooming with a stranger. This is not the intention and the staff will immediately prepare you your own room if you ask them. But maybe having a roommate isn't all that bad?

The city outside the Research Center and the apartment building is a very futuristic and bright place. There's a lot of fancy technology and the weather seems almost too perfect all of the time. Even the weather here is artificial and doesn't feel natural at all. This is the center of the whole Nightwake City and it's called the district that never sleeps for a good reason. It feels like any time of the day you choose to go out there's something going on.
Everyone was given some money on their money app BankCrow to spend. Why not go for the Gacha Restaurant on the main street if you're hungry? You can either choose what style/type of food you want (different cuisines, pizza, junk food, etc) OR pick any ingredients and list your allergens before rolling the gacha machine and what comes out is a meal that fits your choices. Most commonly they're mediocre quality (2-3 stars), slightly rarer are the very bad and very good dishes (1 stars and 4 stars) and the rarest of them all is the golden 5 star dish that is the most delicious and sophisticated meal you'll ever taste. But hey, at least the drinks are all the same no matter what meal you end up getting.
If the futuristic city style isn't for you, there are other district with various different atmospheres waiting for you just outside the city center.
In the District Spotlight [ Click to Expand ]
Blossomcrown is a modern city, but not as futuristic as the central district. Cherry blossom trees have been planted on the side of the streets to give some color for the otherwise gray scenery. It's a busy place with a central park full of spring flowers in the middle, that gives some much needed peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of the city. There's even the famous Botanical Garden open to all visitors. It's a home to many exotic plants that can't be grown anywhere else (that's safe, at least). There are also plenty of butterflies and bees living in the gardens. Attached to the building it also a flower shop where anyone can purchase a plant for themselves - they're even divided by suitability for each district. But if plants aren't your thing, why not check out the concert venue, which is an arena made for holding concerts. It can be transformed into both an outdoor and indoor venue by opening or closing the roof. Anyone can book the venue to hold a concert as long as they have the funds to do it. They will even advertise your concert for you everywhere!
Those who really just want to see something that's not a city, why not try Frostreign? Sure, it's very cold but there aren't very many buildings. It's more like a small village in the middle of Eternal Winter. The easiest ways to move around here are sledding, skiing and sleigh rides, where either excited huskies or chill reindeers will take people on a ride around the district. There are some snowmobiles too for those, who want to try them. One of the most popular locations is the giant, nevermelting ice castle in the center of the town, where kids love to play hide and seek. It's also a popular locations for dates, as the natural magical crystal lights inside the castle make the place look romantic. Another popular spot is the ice hole, where some brave souls go either swimming and some others at least try staying in the icecold water for a little moment before running to the Sauna Spa! It's an area full of different kind of saunas but it also doubles up as an inn, and due to knowing Otherworlders were going to come today, it's even available for booking!
Those who want to test out their powers right away, Dayrise is the place to go! The Grand Colosseum is designated for power holder practice for at least the following week. After that the natives would like to watch sports again rather than continuous fighting, but even then you're welcome to use the colosseum when there's a chance. After testing your powers, the luxurious baths of Dayrise are a good treat. They're all public baths and none of the natives are ashamed of being naked for hours with strangers. They will also encourage anyone coming with a towel to throw it away.

Around the city of Nightwake, Valentine's Day is being celebrated. There are plenty of decorations, all in pastel colors (mainly pink). The Spring Segment districts have also contributed by giving all other districts flowers for decorations for some pleasing aromas. Most of the restaurants also have discount for those who dine together instead of alone.
There are plenty of treats that lift up your mood. Eating too much of the treats results in becoming very clingy to the next person they see. The effect usually wears off in half an hour, but it could take longer depending on how many treats you've eaten.
Another popular Valentine's are the game stalls that are intended to be taken on as couples. Anything you win will only be given to your partner. If you play alone, all you get is a round of applause even if you'd do a new high score. These game stalls include a lot of classic from carnivals and festival, racing with horses or vehicles and even video games.
Each district has a small stall that acts as a starting point for the main Valentine's Day challenge. The goal is to travel from one check point to another within the district while holding hands with someone. There is a small task to be done at each checkpoint (like eating a full course meal or popping balloons while still holding hands). The point is to never let go of your partners' hand. Once the pair gets to the end of the course they get a reward.
The reward for getting past the course is a free item from Riki's Rewards (any prize) and a pair of friendship bracelets that sends messages to its pair bracelet (like "I miss you", "Let's meet up").
Exploring the city isn't something that interests you? Well, the four bridges that lead to the Seasonal Segments are always open and you're definitely allowed to go outside. However, due to the summoning magic, the dark energy outside the city has temporary gone haywire and all of the Segments are suffering from their natural disasters at the same time.
Winter Segment is suffering from a raging blizzard and the usual beautiful landscapes are just a white blur for the time being.
Spring Segment is in the middle of a hurricane, with all of the lightest beings being picked up and tossed all over the place with the wind.
Summer Segment is literally on fire. Only the rain forests and jungles, as well as the Great Ocean Lake are safe from it.
Autumn Segment is suffering from a thunderstorm. Chances of getting struck by lightning are quite high should someone step in.
If you're prepared for the weather, no one is going to stop you from going out to explore. It might be a good idea to bring a friend with you. Luckily, the natural catastrophes calm down after two days and the Segments are more normal after that. So it might actually be worth a while to wait before going out.
After the storm the sun shines and sheep appear [ Click to Expand ]
When you venture out to the Spring Segment after the storm, there's a herd of Fabric Sheep wandering near the Flower Yard. These sheep are tame and while they usually run and hide, sometimes they look for people to help them get their wool sheared. Luckily natives on the Dayrise bridge are handing out shearing scissors for those who would like to help.
The sheep get scared very easily, but if you don't make too many sudden movements, you will be able to do your job easily. The sheep might even boop you gently as a thanks before heading off again. If you're mean to sheep, however, you might get an angry Gravity Goat chasing you.
Anyone who visits the Flower Yard of any of the Segments will hear a story from a native there. A story of the magic that has been put in place that lets all the otherworlders "respawn" to their respective Flower Yard if they die in Ellipsa. The flower will be the same as it is in everyone's charms. The natives say that more details can be asked from the main four seasonal power holders, but that they've heard it's painless for otherworlders to emerge from the flower.
After the Segments have settled down, a message appears on everyone's smartphones. Everyone is invited to join some observational cruises at the Airship Station in Nightwake District. There are four different ships leaving at the same time, but if you come back again later you will be able to go to them all eventually. The trip targets are the Seasonal Segments. Of course, there are long instructions as to how one should dress to handle the different weather they would be experiencing while in the air. You have time to shop as the invitation is open for a good while.
The Airship Station is a very modern, almost futuristic, place with a lot of docks with various airships lined up. Most of the ships there are used for in-city transportation and there are various holographic displays that tell how many ships are available and where. Various restaurants are also found here and view from the ones on top of the building is amazing. There's time to look around, but your final destination is the biggest docks at the end of the station.
The point of these cruises is to give otherworlders a chance to see what the Segments are like without interacting with the monsters down below. The ships will fly to the airship station of each Segment and then come back a different route to cover as much of the segment as possible. In total the trip is said to take four days.
Because of the length of the trip, everyone has been provided with a simple two to four person cabin (with their own bathroom/shower) and three meals are served per day throughout the trip. Snacks can also be found from the cafeteria and they're free of charge.
Enjoy the view, bond with your fellow passengers and relax. Staying on the deck is safe, especially if you don't start leaning over the rails to look down.
The old lady and her cats [ Click to Expand ]
Each airship station in the segments is unique in their own right. They're not very well-kept like the one in the city and various weather changes have definitely modified them to look old and worn down.
Strangely enough, each of the airship stations has someone living there; an old lady with a herd of different cats depending on the season: winter cats are spirits that can be seen by anyone due to them taking control of stuffed animals, spring cats are part flowers, summer cats look like small lions or tigers and autumn cats are essentially the same as will-o'-the-wisps but in cat shape.
The old ladies explains that they are quite comfortable living there and don't have any plans to "evacuate". They will kindly decline anyone who tries to help them. The airship staff explains there are some special arrangements in place to help them live in the stations as those are safe places to stay in.
Each of the ladies will tell you a story. Winter lady will talk about the Watchtower and who used to live there, spring lady will tell all about the abandoned farm and its owners, summer lady talks about the abandoned castle and its royalty and autumn lady tells about the abandoned mansion and who used to be the lord.
If you talk to the same lady again later the story is different. She tells a different version of the story every time she is talked to. No one is really sure which of the stories is true because of how many versions are circulating around.
The ships only stay docked at the station for as long as the staff of the airship delivers some food and other necessities to the old ladies and then it's back towards the city again. Of course, nothing stops anyone from leaving the ship and experiencing the segments themselves.

[She doesn't mind his joking or teasing, whatever he wants to call it. She still hates these metal cages no matter if they make things easier.
Just him and her here, huh. . . . She is so tempted to do . . . Something. One step closer, another step closer. Can this elevator be up in its destination soon???]
no subject
[You're not his master again yet, you can't tell him what to do.
But he notices her coming closer and just brushes her hair with his free hand. Not here, not yet.]
Sand in your hair.
no subject
[Very important thing to add to the end considering when she's from and what she knows about the future and now he knows about it too.
Also guess who sort of didn't even think that she's not his Master yet, when all of the bossy attitude and everything else just feels so natural around him??? It's almost like she is his Master again already, except it's going to be much better once she actually gets that contract back.
Rin presses her lips close to hold back a soft sigh as soon as Archer brushes her hair but at least he can't see how her eyes close for a very short moment.]
I woke up on an endless beach, so clearly that'd would be Summer segment. It's probably still all around in my hair.
[Which means she needs a shower sooner or later and someone (called Archer) gets to clean every bit of sand from the floor and anywhere else, where it happens to get before she'll go wash it away. ...unless she'll be nice and go do that as soon as she'll get to the apartment but there are.... possibly... other things, that she wants to do before that and without caring about any of the sand.]
no subject
[It seems to be closing smoothly and they're just about there. Only a few more floors.]
I woke up in an endless autumn forest.
no subject
[She doesn't trust these things!! At least this one's going smoothly, sure, and there's only a little more to go and this will be over and there can be many, many, better things than this.
Plus Rin is keeping both of her hands close to Archer, so at least she's not touching anywhere around her!]
I knew it'd be either that or whatever winter happens to be.
no subject
[Simple and easy. No magic touch to suddenly stop the elevator.]
Am I that sad of a person?
[It's meant to be a joke, but it probably doesn't sound like it very much. But hey, saved by the elevator ping! Time to get out.]
We made it out alive.
no subject
[No getting her mad inside an elevator either, she wouldn't trust that to not make it do something weird with her new powers added to the mix too.]
I was thinking about lone wolves for winter, you know.
[... No comment on the sad part, not yet. She needs to actually remind herself, that he doesn't even know about her knowing his true identity at that moment. And that backstory is just an eternal tragedy from hell.
YAY FOR GETTING OUT OF THERE THOUGH! She's happy and excited about that.]
Yes, we did! [Thanks to hand holding and staying close to him!] Well then, we'll check my apartment first! Let's go!
[Joke's on her once they'll find out, that they'll live in the same apartment but she follows the hallways to the door, opens it and walks in.]
no subject
Archer notices that it's also his apartment before they walk in, but he's not going to tell Rin that just yet. He'd wait for another moment. It should be rather quick if she noticed his clothes around... and if she didn't he'd have an amusing moment later when she realized.]
Looks like a standard room. Not bad.
no subject
Mm, looks like there are two bedrooms. What? Are they expecting people to become roommates with strangers?
[Rin's obviously not going to do that. She peeks into both bedrooms and shuts the door to the one, that's not going to be hers even if they are really similar.
She doesn't, in fact, notice his clothes there at first, when she sees something interesting in her own pile. It's a scarf and then there's also her heart pendant on top of it. She smiles softly at them both before her face gets more serious again and she goes through the rest too. Her own clothes are there, obviously, and there's also a copycat charm, a red and black dress, a floral hairpiece and a kimono.]
no subject
He quietly returns to look at what Rin has with her.]
Quite a selection of clothes. All from where you came from?
no subject
. . . Yeah.
[ ... apparently she's not going to explain anything about the clothes. Especially not about that scarf, but he doesn't even know Kiritsugu, so -- well, she could always tell some vague explanation about the kimono and the hairpiece. She doesn't even hesitate with grabbing the Copycat charm from there.]
Huh, maybe this still works even if it is a magic item from there. Well, apparently I also got your pendant, though I had it back there too.
[It's almost like she summoned him here even if it's impossible, when the pendant isn't full of magic anymore. And it is technically from Prismatica too, she got it as a random gift from home there.]
no subject
My pendant?
[If she says that did that mean she knew about everything? About who he really was and how he just gave her his version of the pendant after the night Shirou was almost killed?
About why he was trying to kill Shirou..?]
no subject
Oh... She... She just automatically called it his without thinking that yeah, he, ummm... He doesn't know that she knows, huh?
Ooooops.
...Well, at least she won't have to wonder how to turn their conversation back into things, that she learned in Prismatica anymore.]
Yes. Your pendant. But it's still my pendant too. So that makes it ours.
[She doesn't mind sharing it with him, when it's clearly the only thing, that can bring him into her life.]
I-- Learned your true identity in Lunatia from another you there and I met another Shirou there too.
[Did she mention meeting them before? Rin doesn't remember, she explained so much. At least she's telling about them now. She puts the scarf and the charm down, turning her full attention right back to Archer again.]
And after that it all made sense...
[She shrugs and lets out a deep sigh too. Well, as much sense as it can ever make to her, she'd still love it if he'd stop trying to erase them from existing. So yeah, she knows why he's trying to kill Shirou. She's figured it out along with the fact, that that's obviously not the pendant that she used to revive Shirou.
Rin locks her eyes with Archer's.]
So, I know who you really are, EMIYA.
[Rin's calm, she's had time to think about everything. ]
no subject
[So she really knew. After meeting another him, even. Truth to be told, Archer had been sure from the start that if anyone would figure it out, it would be Rin. Even before the idiot Shirou would.
It sort of hurts, realizing Rin knows why he was the way he was. Why he attacked Shirou without her permission, why he betrayed her (even if was also to take Caster down).
Archer keeps their eye contact.]
It took me a while to remember, when you summoned me. I still don't remember everything, obviously.
no subject
Also that was so weird, calling him Emiya. Now she won't have to do that again.]
That's fine. ...Do you remember the Fifth War having more than one timeline? Those two didn't know anything about most events in ours, so I guess you don't either, but they went through different things like Caster not even being a problem at all when she got killed easily in their version of the events.
[But where does Archer come from then? An entirely different war? Entirely different timeline? An alternate place???]
no subject
But from my memories of the war, Caster is a problem and the master of Assassin. Saber was snatched by her and her Master killed Rider, who is the only Servant out of the race. Biggest threat is still Berserker.
no subject
So we remember the same events.
[Good. Much better than good. So much better, she can't even... How is she going to say this? Not that she'd have to say anything. She could just stay quiet and not tell him anything. No, she doesn't want them to be like they're back home, she wants so much more and this might help with that.]
They had different relationships on that other timeline too. Well, probably not you and me, I guess we're always [stuck as] the same... But since all of those things with Caster is what really gets me and Shirou closer in our timeline and none of that ever even happened in their timeline...
...
[She kind of hates going through those memories, she hasn't done this in... a long time. But that was great, going from being rescued by him and having had a date day with him to him not even knowing about any of those things at all just after she started letting him closer to her.]
So, just in case he shows up here as unlikely as that may be, he might not even remember anything about our timeline and he might be really seriously with Sakura.
[Rin shrugs like it's nothing. Archer's seen Sakura in their timeline too, even heard her name and seen and Rin talking with her like normal every day acquaintance at her school if he doesn't remember much more about her. Way to dodge saying they are in an intimate relationship by saying really seriously... Whatever, she'll tell it if he asks how seriously.]
I moved on after meeting him and hearing about that. We still spent some time together because he could trust me with not trying anything with him and he didn't want to cheat her. Obviously I never told them anything about whatever happens between me and him on our timeline.
[She's surprised that Lancer didn't tell about that either! But on the other hand, she's not, because he promised to her, that he wouldn't even accidentally slip anything about it especially since he was from her future. Aside from Rin telling that to him because she wants moooore with him here... Those sure are important things to know here if that stupid idiot appears here from anytimeline... God, it would be just her luck if he showed up and happened to be from THEIR timeline now or sometime later. And it kind of might seem like why is she telling all of this to Archer? Who knows!! But actually she is- ummm.... Much more interested in another Emiya than Shirou from her time these days.
Spoilers: It's not Kiritsugu, though she has met him too.Still looking at him. Though she's half-tempted to go back to checking her inventory and she will if this gets way too weird/awkward/whatever else.]
no subject
Archer had had his suspicions and Rin actually liking Shirou more than just on friendly basis. It had made the whole thing a lot more complicated. That's why he had been relieved Rin had left him on the roof like she did. Taken the distance.
Honestly he feels glad that she says she's over Shirou now. It would make his attempts at smacking Shirou into yesterday less painful for her if he ever showed up. Well, not really, she would still interfere and be sad about it, no doubt.
After some silence and thought, Archer shrugs.]
Makes things less complicated, not having feelings for an idiot like him. He doesn't deserve them, anyway.
[Rin was far too good for Shirou in his opinion.]
no subject
Time to break the ice between them. Rin leaves everything from her inventory there and closes any of the remaining distance between herself and Archer.]
It absolutely makes everything so much less complicated.
[Not the first time when she flirts at him by looking at Archer with a tempting smile on her face and a teasing look in her eyes too. She recalls a similar expression to him pretty soon after meeting him and then again later too... but this time he doesn't have to keep on pretending like he's not interested too. Well, except that is Archer so he might but she is so ready to go all out on him, that it's really not a problem.]
no subject
I am... very drained of mana. If you don't mind helping.
[He's masterless right now and while he's an Archer, it did have a toll on him. But, it's not what he really means with those words and it's probably clear from his voice.
If she wants him, who's he to deny her. She just has to say it.]

Arriving here completely drained me out of mine, I'll explain later why and it's nothing to worry about, but we could restore our mana together.
[She purrs at him. Then again, why couldn't it be just as easy as this? Rin wraps her arms around his neck to pull him even closer, still looking into his eyes.]
I want you, Archer.

Then I'm yours to do whatever you want to, Rin.

Goddamn the local euphoric rush from touching and fast metabolism from prisma making everything feel even MORE amazing than that really don't help at all, when Archer wraps his arms around her. So, there's a soft sigh of pleasure from Rin. . . . Damn, she has waited for this for over a year and maybe she'll even tell that to him sooner or later.]
I want to take a shower with you, eventually. If you want to warm up on the couch before that, then that's fine too.
[Shower for obvious reasons with how much sand there might be in her hair. Eventually-- well that and the whole warm up comment really depend on how fast Archer wants things to happen. And whether warm up means just making out, foreplay or sex on that couch before shower sex happens is also up to him.
Rin wants everything, obviously, but she is not the one, who has been alone for all eternity and isn't used to physical contact by now. But she can go at this with whatever pace he wants / needs things to happen... Even if he just said that she can do whatever she wants with him.
Speaking of that? Rin pulls Archer closer and kisses him passionately without even having patience for things like starting with soft kisses.]
no subject
[Less annoying cleaning for later, since they'd definitely get all Rin's sand into the couch, most likely. Besides, having their mutual first time under a shower didn't seem like such a bad deal.
Archer is definitely a little more reserved with the kisses for now, but it doesn't take him too long to match her passion with the euphoric rush helping him into the mood even more as well.
Rin is free to take him to whichever direction she wants him, really. He will follow her.]
no subject
[Right now? Some kissing first? Or that's what she thinks when he's reserved with them first -- which is obviously totally understandable -- but then he seems to really get into that mood too.
Rin continues kissing Archer, while she also starts leading them towards the bathroom. Or he could carry her, that works too now when they've figured out where they're about to go from here.]
