[ The feed clicks on to show a Pidgey staring down at the Gear, tilting his head this way and that like any curious bird would do. Then there's a screech and an Altaria's head also pops into the view, and they're tilting their heads, chirping, and the Pidgey gives a tentative peck at the Gear before the Altaria bends its long neck to pick up the Gear- ]

--What are you two doing? Zephyr, hand that to me. Avion, do not be a mischievous little fowl, or I will send you back into your ball.

[ There are two screeches before the Gear is thrown at the voice. Caught swiftly in hand, the feed then turns to face a slightly irritated Saber/Nero who shakes her hand and places the Gear in a more proper position to watch her. There's a long, wooden object resting upon her lap, with Gladius the Scyther standing obediently by her bed. Judging by the small, wooden bits scattered around her, it looks like she's further tuning the makeshift "weapon," making sure the edges were heavily blunted and not too jagged enough, but still carrying a discernible shape. There are also three eggs of various colors placed upon her bed beside her. ]

Then again... Ah, yes, I did have a query. I am aware that there are several of those who have- had powers, extraordinary abilities back in their worlds. I was no exception, and it vexes me greatly, but even as a human, I was glorious enough.

[ But enough about that tangent- ] I am curious about where it all just... goes. And how? Surely there are some powers people had that were useful and not so harmful. [ As she talks, her eyes drift down to the wooden weapon in her hands for a moment. ] And for those who have stayed here for an interminable amount of time in this world... Do you not miss it?

So you've been reincarnated? [ Oh hey she runs the reincarnation cycle. What do you mean she has a rival business now!? ]

[autocratic]

If you wish to put it that way. I have been summoned into a War, where I and my Master are vying for the Holy Grail.

[conduit]

Hm! What a coincidence! A war I was in just finished! I don't know who your Master is, or what the Holy Grail is but good luck getting it! If you actually need the luck, hehe!

[autocratic]

Perhaps I do not, but it is always beneficial to be in her Lady Fortuna's favor! You have my thanks.

[conduit]

Lady Fortuna? Is she an actual [ She pauses. Is the right word here to use person? Eh, she'll use it anyways. ] person?

[autocratic]

A goddess! Surely if you know of the era I originated from, you must know of our customs!

[conduit]

Actually, I don't. [ Oops. ] Rome is just such major civilization that knowing the leaders is almost common knowledge. I don't know much about non-Shinigami customs, but I do know some basic things about Rome. I'm sure there are some people back home who lived in Rome too, provided if they've never been reincarnated. [ ...Though, maybe it's for the better that she doesn't know about you guys. After all, it'd lead to the question, "Wait didn't you kill Christians? Then why are you searching for the holy grail?" ]

[autocratic]

[ Yeah, probably best we don't go into that. ]

You speak of reincarnation so readily in your world, I assume that such is actually possible, correct?

[conduit]

It is! It's part of the Death Cycle and everything. You die, you go to the afterlife, you die there and then you're back at the world of the living as an entire new person! The only way the cycle ends is if you become a hollow, or a corrupted soul, and you're killed by something that doesn't purify you. Then, after that, your soul is destroyed and you obviously can't be in the cycle anymore.
