@Announcement
Welcome, visitors, to the Spiritron Virtual World: Serial Phantasm.
[k]

@Announcement
Known as SE.RA.PH for short, this reborn pure land of pleasure is modeled after the digital world.
[k]

@Announcement
128 Masters and Servants have come here in order to prevent the real world from being destroyed.
[k]

@Announcement
While we have nothing but praise for this noble purpose...
[k]

@Announcement
Human desires are insatiable, and our audience won't be satisfied with nobility alone.
[k]

@Announcement
Thus, one more condition for victory has been added to SE.RA.PH:
[k]

@Announcement
Kill all 127 other Masters.[sr]Be the last one standing.
[k]

@Announcement
Once you are, you will be granted the Mooncell, a source of unfathomable power.
[k]

@Announcement
But please do be careful.[sr]SE.RA.PH has no exit.
[k]

@Announcement
And doing nothing is not an option.
[k]

@Announcement
Whether you fight, or kill one another...you have no choice but to put your survival first.
[k]

@BB
Heh heh heh.[sr]Heh heh heh heh...!
[k]

@BB
There you are, Senpai! Welcome to the For-Adults-Only trap! There's no going back now!
[k]

[charaFace A 1]
@BB
No wonder you conquered the Temple of Time![sr]I have to admit that you've got courage!
[k]

[charaFace A 6]
@BB
Of course, that's pretty much the only thing you've got going for you, so I don't expect you to stand out in any other way.
[k]

?1:What's going on here, BB!?


?2:Hey! What was that about 1GB!?

[charaFace A 10]
@BB
Wait, that's what's bothering you?[sr]You're a lot pettier than your data indicated.
[k]

[charaFace A 0]
@BB
But the fact remains that you just don't have much going on [&down there:up here], so you'll have to deal with it!
[k]

@BB
Sorry! But hey, don't worry: it's not about the size, it's the shape that matters.
[k]

?!

[charaFace A 6]
@BB
...Let's see. You're completely cut off from Chaldea, and you don't possess the skills of a wizard.
[k]

@BB
Since you're so hopeless, I guess the helpful game master[line 2]that's me[line 2]will just have to do the work of explaining the rules to you.
[k]

@BB
At the moment, there are a bunch of Servants butting heads with each other here in SE.RA.PH.
[k]

[charaFace A 0]
@BB
And why not? This Holy Grail War is nothing but a battle to the death between all 128 of them![se ade76]
[k]


@BB
And just like you, Senpai, they all came here like lambs to the slaughter.
[k]

@BB
Maaaybe because I fooled them into thinking there was a teensy-weensy world-ending threat to contend with.
[k]

@BB
Little did they know that this was really nothing more than a way for me to kill some time![se ade76]
[k]


?1:A 128-Servant battle to the death...

[charaFace A 6]
@BB
That's right. It's a tacky little game I whipped up based on the Moon Holy Grail War.
[k]

[charaFace A 0]
@BB
Of course, the Mooncell had a whole tournament thing going on, while this is just a straight-up down-and-dirty battle royale.
[k]


?2:Then you're the one behind all this!

[charaFace A 5]
@BB
Well duh! Who do you think I am, anyway?
[k]

@BB
I'm BB! The original fallen heroine, the “Oops, did I do that?” kouhai who ends up destroying the world!
[k]

@BB
This time, to put it modestly, I actually went out of my way to make sure you all suffer!
[k]

?!

[charaFace A 4]
@BB
Anyway... You really don't have anything going for you, do you, Senpai? Without any Servants around, it's almost sad how weak you are.
[k]

[charaFace A 9]
@BB
So since even I can't help but feel a little sorry for you, I'll help you out just a little more.
[k]

[charaFace A 6]
@BB
Yes, this is Seraphix.
[k]

@BB
Think of it as a zone made entirely out of light, where everything has been digitized into Pseudo-Spiritrons.
[k]

@BB
As long as intellectual activity is taking place here, an information life-form like myself and an organic life-form like you can interact in the same space-time.
[k]

@BB
Furthermore, knowledge, experience, and power sources you attain here will be carried over when you return to the physical world.
[k]

@BB
So any battle you engage in here on SE.RA.PH has the same significance that it would in real life, and things that happen here can and do affect reality.
[k]

[charaFace A 9]
@BB
What's that? How did this happen?[sr]You mean, why did Seraphix end up digitized?
[k]

[charaFace A 0]
@BB
You'll have to figure that out for yourself, Senpai.[sr]It wouldn't be fair to the others if I told you.
[k]

@BB
Now, this is where Seraphix's front gate used to be. It's the entrance that all the regular staff used when commuting here from the company dormitory.
[k]

@BB
Makes the perfect place for you to start your SE.RA.PH expedition, if I do say so myself. Don't you think?
[k]

?1:This is...the front gate?

[charaFace A 6]
@BB
Yup. It had to be rebuilt after the digitization destroyed it.
[k]

?2:Um, that map looks kind of...feminine.

[charaFace A 5]
@BB
Just ignore that.[sr]Even I find it embarrassing.
[k]

[charaFace A 10]
@BB
Still, once I took over the system, it was inevitable that the oil rig would assimilate with my consciousness.
[k]

@BB
Doesn't really take a genius to figure out what shape it would take when it was reformatted during the digitization, does it?
[k]

?!

[charaFace A 0]
@BB
Anyway, now that you're here, Senpai, there's no quitting or running away!
[k]

@BB
Your only choice is to scuttle along SE.RA.PH like an ant carrying a sugar cube.
[k]

@BB
And if you don't like that idea, you'll have to unravel the whole mystery of what's happening here toot sweet!
[k]

@BB
Once you do that, you'll finally be free of the ant life![sr]Oh, but that said...
[k]

[charaFace A 11]
@BB
Time isn't exactly on your side here, you know?
[k]

@BB
Once SE.RA.PH sinks to the bottom of the trench, everyone dies. Even I can't change that.
[k]

@BB
So you'll have to fulfill the victory conditions and make it back alive. Assuming you stupid humans are capable of that, of course.

@???
It's sad how you were about to be killed with no means of defending yourself, and it's sad how you preyed on a helpless beginner.
[k]

@???
This may be a barbaric slaughterfest, but it is precisely times like this when one must conduct oneself elegantly. Otherwise, you'll lose your audience.
[k]

@???
The victor who triumphs over every obstacle must act with all due decorum.
[k]

@???
But what decorum is there to be found in killing a Master who has yet to even properly take the stage?
[k]

@???
Isn't that right, Suzuka? You don't deserve such fine brocade if this is how you choose to act.

Very well then, since we aren't complete strangers,[sr]I suppose I can answer your question.

@???
Why did I help this human?[sr]Why am I here in the first place?
[k]

[charaFace C 1]
@???
Do you even need to ask? I'm a prima ballerina who follows her heart wherever it takes her. I never forget when someone has humiliated me.
[k]

@???
So I have quite literally flown back up from the bowels of the earth for a chance to fight you all once more.
[k]

[charaFace C 1]

Hmm. I really only helped you on a whim, but I see you don't have any Servants, do you?
[k]

@???
That works out well. Very well, in fact. You see, I've been looking for a puppet[line 2]ahem, a Master[line 2]of my own.
[k]

@???
So I'll help rescue you from her, if you form a contract with me. And you really should.
[k]

@???
After all, it is either that, or die here.
[k]

@???
...Well? You don't have much time.[sr]Listen up, because I'm only going to say this once:

[charaFace C 1]
@Meltryllis
I'm Meltryllis, the Alter Ego of pleasure.[sr]I'll serve as your sword for as long as I feel like it.
