[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.]

[Tohko smiles at this.]

Alright then! I'll do my best with then. And it's nice to meet you, Tall Lancer.

['Tall Lancer' is a bit of a joke on her part.]

。。。背が低いランサーのサーヴァントもあるか？

[Tohko thinks for a moment. He was a servant, and he had just mentioned that Lancer was a class. So, there had to be different types of Servants to go with the Masters. Interesting.]

..Not that I'm aware of. I'm sorry. It was just a small joke on my part, since you keep calling me 'little lady Amano.'. However..if Lancer is just the class of Servant you are, then what is your actual name?

聞くな。

[His voice loses its former jovial tone and becomes ice cold. He is silent for a moment before speaking again, this time softer than before, but still a bit gruff.]

そんなことより、俺はいえない。すまん。

[Tohko sighed and scratched her head.]

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to bring back any bad memories. Just forget I asked, alright?

[Maybe he had some bad experiences with the Holy Grail war too?]

Re: [Video, Japanese]

[puppy_lancer]

[He certainly did. And though the Grail is not here now, one taboo among Servants is real names.]

よっし、わかった。そして、今から他のサーヴァントと自称するやつと会ったら、けっして実名を聞くな。

[There were those who would let people off with a warning...and other who might react more negatively.]

[Tohko thought for a moment as to why she shouldn't. Maybe different Servants had different skills that were part of their names? Like some weird version of A Wizard of Earthsea? Knowing these names might give someone an advantage in the Holy Grail War. She eventually nodded.]

Alright then, I won't. I suppose it would be pretty dangerous if I did. They may not like that..so I won't. Thanks for the warning!

はい、どういたしまして。

[He has to appreciate her mind. She's smart enough to know when to be careful.]

[Tohko tries to think of a different subject to lighten the mood.]

By the way..what kind of cookies do you like? It'd be a shame if I baked you something that you couldn't eat.

天野嬢ちゃんの料理なら、なんでもおいしいぞ。

[tohko_amano]

[And it looked like the attempt worked! While flattery will get him nowhere, Tohko still chuckles a little at that sentence.]

Alright then! I can at least guarantee that you won't get burnt cookies.
