I // [video]

[The screen flickers slightly before revealing a smiling young face, red eyes wide in wonder as she stares at the camera. The girl looks very excited, or at least eager to see what this device does. There's almost a sense of pride emanating from her - after all, being in a family of magi meant that they avoided contact with modern technology as much as possible. So getting this thing to work is quite the accomplishment, and she looks around for a few moments around the edge of the screen - checking things, probably - before looking back at the camera.

Unfortunately, she doesn't notice that it's upside down.]

Hello everyone! I'm Ilyasviel von Einzbern, but Ilya is fine. I'm new here, so I'm looking for someone to be my older brother!

[She smiles again. It's not in her intention to further explain what an older brother entails, since the best older brothers would already know what to do without her telling them. Ideally, the older brother would be someone who's actually older than her, but if they act and look older than her, that's fine too. All things considered, that really shouldn't be too hard...]

I guess a big sister would be okay too... but a big brother would be better. So, someone come play with me, okay?

[Her eyes wander off to the sides of the screen again. A few moments pass by as this continues, and the girl mutters a barely audible 'how do you turn this off?']

[It's at this moment that a shadow falls across the (seemingly) young child, originating from the stark silhouette rolling to a slow stop astride a skateboard, which, while being something one might expect of a hooligan, miraculously does little to fray the rider's dignity.

Golden eyes coolly regard her with almost feline luminosity.]

Excuse me.

[The young man bends, reaching with both hands for her SFC...

...Only to turn it right side up and return it to her grip, giving a sober, approving nod. A fingertip taps a particular part of its unique shape, and the young god with but three parallel white stripes circumnavigating only one side of his head of otherwise black hair continues:]

That's better. Do you see this? This part here turns it on and off.

[CRISIS AVERTED.




...no, it's only a crisis to Death the Kid.]

[keepsthefire]

... it's upsidedown. Just lettin' you know.

[Which means Rin probably looks upsidedown to her. Oops.]

Why d'you want a big brother so bad anyway?

[Seeing someone else corrected her on the SFC usage, Darkleer doesn't mention that. He simply addresses a different issue.]

Are you sure you should just ask any person to be your elder sibling? Not everyone is nice.

[dotthedisconnect]

[Are these things really so difficult to use? Newcomers, what can you do with them.]

Uh, you might want to just flip your SFC a little.

...anyway. I'm not sure you understand how siblings work any more than you do that device, but what would you actually need one for?

[acebrotective]

[Well that's a mouthful of a name, forgive him as he tries to work it out.]

Ay-lee-ah. Ay-lee-ah. Ilya. [What the hell kind of name is that, it's so ludicrously foreign to him!!]

Allie.

I'mma call you Allie, okay?

Maybe you should get a towel and stuff first before goin' off and playing.

[littlederedevil]

[ Rin's SFC is now upside down to because it works to make the young woman right side up. ]

Einzbern? Are you really so lost you need a guide? I'm surprised.

[spiria]

I have a little brother who might make a good big brother for you! I think you've already talked to him.

[ She scrolled through here, yep. ]

And if you want any more family, I wouldn't mind being a big sister to you.

[ ADOPTING EVERYBODY EVER. Like a boss. ]

[oursomalink]

Ah... the screen's upside-down, you know!

[ Shing pauses, tilting his head at the question -- as well as her name -- before he answers. ]

... how do you pronounce your name again? Ill-ee-yah?

Anyway.. I know a couple people I think of as siblings, and I don't think they're gonna mind!

[ Welp, guess he'll have to ask both Rin and Bianca about this later... ]

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

Oh, oh! How about Shing or Kohaku? They're pretty good at being older siblings!

[And the cycle goes on]

[The resemblance is downright uncanny. If Waver hadn't heard the girl speak he'd be wondering if Rin weren't the only magus to be suffering a de-aging around here... and even then, that wouldn't make sense for--

He can feel a headache coming on.]

That's an interesting amount of enthusiasm for a little girl who was randomly abducted.

[donotcomprehend]

Does being a brother require playing? Why would that make it a significant whether you find a brother or a sister?
