ένας ϟ briefly audio, mostly video
[The feed is at first filled with static and the sounds of the device being knocked around. But eventually, words start to filter through.]
Ahh, I believe this i――No, perhaps――?
[And the person seems to figure it out, so the deep, resonant voice laughs jovially before it flickers to a video feed. There's a gratuitous shot of a manly as hell beard because Rider basically has his face in the camera, but seeing the image on the screen, he leans back to sit with his arms crossed.]
Ha, here we go! What odd little things these computers are. They are far too small and fragile, in my opinion, but that is neither here nor there for the purpose of this announcement.
[He grins even more, clapping his hands together.] Well! I have expected for this or myself to disappear, and yet both still remains. I suppose that crosses out the possibility of it being a strange dream, eh? So hello, those of you that may hear me upon this network! I confess that I do not know completely of the audience to whom I speak, but I suppose it matters little! I am Alexander III of Macedon, King of Conquerors, though I would prefer to be called Rider for now. And I extend my greetings to all of you, as comrades in this situation, as future friends and even more as potential future subjects. I would be remiss as the King of Conquerors to not consider adding this tower to my territories, eh? But this is a matter for another time.
For now, I seek information, if you would give it. I wish to know about those in charge, who I have heard briefly of. [Though he's still smiling, a fire seems to come to his eyes, as if he's fully aware that they might hear this themselves. He's throwing down a challenge, in a way.] I would like to know who I challenge, after all.
[With that grand address out of the way, he crosses his arms once more, his voice becoming less grandiose] And as a last note, I speak exclusively to the Masters and Servants of the War that also find themselves within this tower. If you do not know what this means, then it is not addressed to you, I am afraid. But to you, my friends, I propose a meeting amongst us, to discuss this situation and what it means for us. So please, contact me at your liberty, and we shall speak of where and how we should meet.
((ooc; to the Fate/ cast, which the last part is directed to, if you could include a contact method in a note on your tag or PM it to this journal, that would be awesome! Hopefully we can do a log to play out what Rider's suggesting if there's interest, but if not, we can figure out a conclusion and handwave it.))

Re: video;
[If Lancer didn't have a Master he needed to protect, then he would've returned the favor and told Rider his own name.]
Then you'd say you're stronger than all the other Servants?
[It almost makes Lancer want to fight him. At the same time, though, it's a bit worrying how a Servant so secure in his own strength is calling for the other Servants and Masters to meet him.]
Anyway, this meeting. What's it for?
no subject
Perhaps not stronger! There are many great foes who I can say with certainty claim more strength than I. That is the fantastic nature of this battle. But that hardly means that I will lose, or lose easily! [Nevermind the fact that he technically has. DETAILS.]
But for this meeting, my intention is to propose a temporary ceasefire, as it may be. I cannot say alliance nor truce, for there are those who I myself would not claim either, but if we are men great enough to fight in such a battle, we are men great enough to set it aside in recognition that there is something more important before us, at least until we are sure that the War still continues.
no subject
[He doesn't feel like fighting for the Grail. Not unless Ayaka suddenly started wanting it or something.]
Just, how would you keep a fight from breaking out. I'm not against fighting some other Servants, but the Masters probably wouldn't be able to keep up.
no subject
[He rubs at the back of his head, and then shrugs] For that much, I must simply assert that this is a counsel of peace, and any outbursts will not be tolerated. Simple enough terms!
no subject
That sounds like as good of a method as any. I know my Master, at least, doesn't pick fights.
no subject
no subject
[His smile becomes colder and wilder. It makes him look like a beast.]
If my Master comes, and if she gets hurt. I'm holding you responsible.
[It's not that he doesn't trust Rider, but Ayaka is important to him. This should give Rider some extra motivation to keep everything in-line.]

It is not any better the second time around.

Do you think I would not take responsibility for her well-being?
Just taking extra precautions to keep her safe.

Re: text
But not undefeatable.
Besides, if everything goes alright, there's no need to follow up on any threats or warnings.

Re: text
[And he's asking questions, not jumping straight into everything. In his mind, that's as much tact as he needs.]
And don't worry. I haven't forgotten the lessons that I did learn.
