It sounds a bit ridiculous saying it out loud.

[And it's not really all her story to tell anyways. Especially not with how little involvement she has in all of it. So let's keep this simple!]

But I suppose some might consider it saving the world?

[Wow that does sound ridiculous.]

[goatsongs]

Eh, I believe it. I was summoned to save literature, that's not that far off from saving the world.

[At least, it is if you're an author.]

[thotsandprayers]

Summoned?

[She'll get to author drama in a minute, but that gets her attention right away. He didn't seem like a Servant, but there's probably all sorts of ways to conceal these things.

Though being summoned to save literature sounds a little goofy? But she really has no room to talk about summoning things for stupid reasons.]

Forgive me if this term means nothing to you, but are you a Servant?

[goatsongs]

No? The alchemists pay us, thank god.

[He needs that money for booze.]

Just your usual spirit of a dead author transmigrated into a physical body.

[thotsandprayers]

How interesting. That doesn't sound terribly different from his situation.

[Or hers, though Kiara's is a little more screwy. Figuratively in this case, since...Kiara.]

I don't believe there's a salary involved, shockingly that isn't something he complains about.

[goatsongs]

That one checks out, writers are usually broke.

[Same old, same old.]

[thotsandprayers]

I suppose that's true enough.

[She hasn't heard any of the writer Servants actually say otherwise.]

Still, just about everything else is a target for complaints or scorn.

[Okay, that's exaggerating, but it sure seems like it's the case when she's around. And she has no idea at all why that's the case! She has done nothing to deserve that kind of treatment! That's what she says if asked about it anyways.]

[goatsongs]

I've got a few coworkers like that. It's a pain in the ass. Sorry you can't enjoy things but I want to have a good time tonight without you telling me all the things I'm doing wrong?

[This may be more of a Chuuya problem than a problem with them.]

[thotsandprayers]

That's exactly it! I'm terribly sorry you've experienced the same thing, but it's nice to meet someone who understands!

[She's so happy about this even if it's not...entirely accurate to the situation. But it's also not entirely inaccurate either, so close enough.]

[goatsongs]

I know that type way too well. At least you get a vacation from him while you're here.

[So small mercies.]

[thotsandprayers]

Yes, that's quite true. Last time I vacationed I wasn't nearly as lucky.

[...okay, she barely interacted with anyone during the summer event outside of making that comic happen and spying on BB, but it still wasn't really a break from him.

And y'know it says something that there's a million billion servants in FGO and yet somehow she almost always runs across the same ones. But whatever it says about her, she's not listening to it.]

[goatsongs]

[Kiara has never been friends with a blue-haired writer in her life and she's not about to start now.]

Did you get weird animal parts the last time too?

[thotsandprayers]

That's only happened to me here, I can safely say that my trip to Hawaii was relatively transformation free.

[But apparently this isn't everyone's first trip to worlds where crazy shit happens, so she's been missing out.]

[goatsongs]

I feel like it'd get fewer tourists if that were typical.

Or else just get weirder tourists.

[thotsandprayers]

Probably just the latter, it really is a lovely place. I can't imagine the risk of something like that would stop too many people. Though I must ask, was that something you experienced before arriving here?

[goatsongs]

I haven't, but I did dive into a version of Alice in Wonderland where another me was playing the role of the Mad Hatter, I feel like that should count for something.

[thotsandprayers]

How...curious.

[Chuuya, do you know Nursery Rhyme?]

I would certainly say that does count. It's more experience with other worlds than I've had.

[She's not counting SERAPH as another world.]

[goatsongs]

[No but he would adopt her on sight.]

I don't know if 'the world inside books' counts as a separate world of its own. More like... a place human bodies can't reach.

[thotsandprayers]

It's still closer to the idea than anywhere I've been.

[goatsongs]

Except here, right?

[thotsandprayers]

Right. Except for here.

[goatsongs]

One off-world trip should be enough for anybody.

[thotsandprayers]

Perhaps, but I understand that isn't the case for some.

[goatsongs]

Some of my coworkers are crazy enough to be down for more.

[thotsandprayers]

Mine as well.

[There's all kinds in Chaldea. Surely some of them would enjoy a trip through the multiverse. Or in Musashi's case, basically be doing that already.]
