Kotomine_Rin:
Vega (Dream Side)

Ugh…

Something bright irritated his eyes. For a moment, he wanted it to just go away. His body was still, comfortable, in a sensation that felt familiar. Warm. Like a babe still in the womb. With a frown, he blocked his eyes and managed to open them, and suddenly he gasped.

Lights and bright colors surrounded a lone man. A massive tent was caging him along with a massive audience, easily more than tens of thousand eyes fixed on the stage.

“Laaaaaaaadies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Come on, come all! Welcome to our grand show!” A massive, fat man with the face of a pig cried out to the crowds.

Ugh. When his vision grew less foggy, he began to see his surrounding… audience more clearly. Watching him weren’t people, but animals. From zebras, to giraffes, to monkeys to pigs to horses and even chicken, everyone surrounding him wore the body of a human, but their likeness was anything but. The mere sight filled him with revulsion, as they indulged in their disgusting show and ate from cattle-feed. Other than that, the ground was covered in deathly flames, and massive stairs connected a rope from one side to another. A fall from that height... no beast could survive it. Let alone the flames, so hot they felt like hell itself.

“How ridiculous. What is this farce? I-“He tried to move away, but his eyes widened when he realized he couldn’t. His body wouldn’t move! Was he drugged? Before he could realize it, the swineherd’s announcement with his guttural squeals.

“For your entertainment, we have brought you the most wondrous show! *snort* Behold, this beautiful little morsel is going to perform a walk of fire!”

That is when he realized that it wasn't that he couldn't move. He was pinned down by two figures. From each side, a woman wearing an earring gripped on his arms and kept him from going forward. Its face and body was more beautiful than anything, its purple hair of a gleam that could steal a heart. And yet, they wouldn't let go. Because he lost, he could never surpass this wall as he was.

SINIB:
Tsumiko

"Mmmnnnn." She made a hesitantly soft grunting sound. It had gotten better here, but the memories of life at home..."

Her heartrate rocketed and she began to breathe rapidly thinking about it. She didn't want to go back. She reallyd
 Didn't want to go back!

"N-no, I mean, yes!"

Elf:
Emiya

Emiya felt his chest tighten at the sight of the terrified girl before him. 

The terrified girl who has both Sakura and Rin inside of her, he reminded himself.

"Hey, you're okay now.  You're safe.  If anyone comes after you, well, most things die when a sword goes through them at Mach 3," he said as he pulled her into a hug and stroked her back.

SINIB:
Tsumiko

Tsumiko shuddered violently when he touched her, as if she hadn't been expecting physical contact. "Y-es... well..."

She feared that if she verbalized it, that it would all immediately come back.

Tsumiko shook her head.

Elf:
Emiya

Emiya pulled back enough to look at her.

He moved one hand to gently pull her hood down so he could look at her face.  "Now, only if you want to stay here.  If you don't want to stay here with me and Tohsaka -" the cat meowed - "then let me know.  If you want to stay here, we'll get your things and I can make a room for you."
