[For the most part, Lancer had been avoiding the comms. He knew where to find his friends and Master in person. The language barrier wasn't that much of a problem because both he and Ayaka spoke Japanese, and most of the other Servants should be speaking it too unless they had been caught up in the language switching.]

[However, right now, there was something he really wanted to ask the tower at large. That is, something besides whether or not he could still communicate with his fellow Servants. That morning, he had found a stack of papers in his room. Papers that told him he was now a janitor. He's not quite sure what it means.]

[So now he's standing at a console, papers in hand. He also has a pen which he snatched from one of his roommates, just in case he ran into someone who didn't speak the same languages that he did. He speaks in English first, as slowly and clearly as he can.]

Hey, my name is Lancer. How many of you can still understand me? How many of my kind can still understand me? If you understand what I am saying, contact me back, maybe with video. I have a question I want to ask.

[He repeats the words in Japanese, and then Gaelic on the off-chance that someone can speak that.]

[He gives a slight growl in agitation.]

もう知ってるさ。

[Her next sentence has him staring at her in surprise.]

で、俺は本とに用務員になったかい？ほら、ふざけなよ。

[Tohko sighed.] Sorry, but you have become a janitor. You'll have to do whatever the paperwork tells you to do. I'm not joking around. The same thing happened to me when I got my job. However..if you need any help with it, I'd be happy to help you out. I'm not that bad at cleaning!

いや。俺は結構。しなかったら、あいつはなにをやるき？殺すつもりか？

[Tohko puts a hand up to her chin as she thinks and talks.] Personally, I have no idea what they'll do if you refuse to do your job. I liked the job they threw at me, so I didn't have too much of a problem with it. However..knowing the Admins, they wouldn't kill you. They would probably torture you with cleaning tools and chemicals for days before finally killing you.

アー？やれるなら、やってみよう!

So you'd rather risk death than doing some cleaning? Again, if you're not that good at cleaning, I'd be happy to help you.

[He runs a hand through his hair.]

別に掃除のことじゃねー。あいつらの自信過剰さ。ったく、俺のマースタじゃねくせに、なぜこんなように命令を下すなんて。うっとしいなー。

[Tohko sighed and scratched her head.] I know..it's a bit of a pain since you don't get any choice in the matter, and especially with a job like that. It's frustrating and annoying, but there's not much you can do unless you want to die.

[Then again, Tohko didn't have much of a problem accepting her job. She would have become an unofficial librarian anyway, due to her love of books. However, she paused for a moment at the mention of 'Master'. So..this guy was from the same world as Waver. This was one of those Servants he spoke of. A person caught up in the Holy Grail War. At this realization, she smiled.]

And maybe they think they can get away with this because they're higher in status than your Master? I'm pretty sure their wrong in that assumption, but that may be what they think.

[He gives off a small growl.]

俺のマースターはただ一人。他の野郎どもはごめん。くたばればいい。

[It just irked him when the tower seemed to make assumptions about his loyalty. Status didn't matter to him--a Master was a Master, and he would only ever serve one at a time.]

Please, calm down. [Tohko puts up a hand to show that while she might seem like the bad guy, she does get where he's coming from. She..just doesn't seem the point in possibly dying for not being a janitor.]

While the bond between you and your Master may be strong, if you were to die, she'd feel really guilty about it. She'd get depressed and blame herself..so..while you only have one Master, that you'll always listen to and obey, that doesn't mean you can't listen to others every now and then to make sure that you and your Master stay safe.

[Tohko sighed.] Even if you have to do a job that you hate. Even if that request comes from Ruana, of all Administrators.

...

[Right. He hadn't considered that. Ayaka was already blaming herself for enough thing. She didn't need guilt over Lancer as well.]

あの子の意見を聞く。

[He gives her a blank look.]

ルアナ？って、誰？

Alright then. Hopefully you two can figure out what to do about this. If you need my help with it, please, don't be afraid to ask. I may be a simple book girl, but I may be able to help.

[Tohko scratched her head.]

Ruana is one of the Administrators here. She's the one that set up that horrid candy event last month, if you were here for that.

[He nods.]

ありがとうな、お嬢ちゃん。

あれはルアナの仕業か？まあー、ジェイソンの仕業より何百倍いいな。

[The candy event was cruel, yes, but it was straightforward. It was not like the body switch erasing the victims' identities from within.]

Edited 2012-11-24 05:45 (UTC)

Oh, no problem. I'm always happy to help! But..my name isn't 'little lady'. [Even though Tohko didn't mind being called that every now and then, this was a good opportunity to exchange names in case he did need her help later on.] I'm Tohko Amano, the book girl.

Yeah, that was. After all, if you were in that event, the note you got at the end of it was from Ruana. And..in my opinion, she may be worse than Jason. Jason, if I've heard correctly, has tortured people, put them in poor living conditions, and medically experimented on them, but I haven't heard of him taking away someone's free will before.

[Tohko sighs. While she was mad that Ruana had twisted her body and mind so that eating books was rather hard and that she killed three people before realizing it, she was also annoyed that the realization of this had managed to break one of her friends for a good while.]

ああ。。。天野のお嬢ちゃん。よろしく。

[Lancer was lucky. The costume had just given him a case of horror hunger. He had no problems with killing things to sate it either.]

いいや、あったぞ。二ヶ月前のボッヂスイチ事件。誰かに聞いていってくれ。

[Tohko chuckles at this new nickname.] Nice to meet you too, sir.

Bodyswapping? People got into the bodies of others and had to deal with them..that is horrible.

そうだ。酷かったぜ。

[It was even worse, but he won't go into the details.]

[Tohko nods. While she doesn't know much about what happened to the bodies physically, she imagines that the mental anguish they suffered was probably much worse than what the candy event dished out.]

...I see. I suppose Jason is worse than Ruana then. Although..in the end, they're both pretty horrible people.

ダックス以外に、管理人の皆は糞たれだぜ。

[Tohko nods. She hadn't spoken to Dax, but she had seen his network post. He seemed a lot nicer than she would imagine Jason or Ruana would be.]

They all are pretty terrible, except Dax. I wonder why he continues to work with them if he's the only good egg in the basket?

必要悪だ。ダックスは毎日のこと見て、ジェイソンは医科さん。他の皆は色々な仕事がある。残念けど、一人も抜かせね。ダックスってやつ、ちょっと可哀そうだな。

Edited 2012-11-24 18:43 (UTC)

That's true, I suppose..maybe a few of the better captives in the Tower can take over the medical department though and put Jason, at the very least, out of commission.

[Tohko would suggest taking out Ruana too, but she has no idea who would be able to replace the woman and still be able to make everything run properly.]

..Dax's position is pretty bad.

いい検索だ、天野嬢ちゃん。

[He nods, and the taps his chin, thinking.]

まあ、一日、あいつ、プレセント上げようか？

[Tohko scratched her head, smiling.]

Thanks..however, I'm not quite sure how one would put that plan into effect. We'd first have to find out where Jason resides and how to get there undetected.

[She then nods.]

Sure! After all, Christmas is coming around the corner, so the timing seems right. Maybe a bottle of wine or a good book?

どこに見つかれるか、ワインと本？このターワーであんなもんがめったにない。管理人に願いけど、貰ったもんを返すのはずるいな。そして、申告箱に置けるか？
