[The fatigue and the feeling of unease from after Lancer woke up following his death on the circus floor hadn't gone away with time. If anything, he just felt even worse. In addition, his feet felt strangely hard and heavy, a feeling that progressed as the day dragged on. Trying to eat and drink, if only to taste strange new foods for this month's menu outright burned his mouth. At this point, he could only conclude something was very wrong.]

[However, as a Servant, he wasn't supposed to be vulnerable to human diseases. This narrowed the cause of his current conditon to either an effect of the Tower's experiment for the month, or the effect of some curse. He just had to figure out which one.]

does anyone else in this tower feel like shit
like, kinda sick
always tired
legs sorta heavy
eating or drinking burns your mouth

i'd say my problem is smaller than the problems that other people have
but occasionally bad things happen to popular people too
they just deal with it really quickly
so it doesn't look like a bad thing

[chainsawn]

I see. But that's still pretty amazing, isn't it? I don't know how people are able to deal with a problem that quickly, it must be some special skill only popular people have.

[puppy_lancer]

maybe it is
i've definitely got some special skills

[They're Servant skills, though. Not popular people skills.]

[chainsawn]

How amazing. Do you think that one day I can learn these really special skills too..?

[puppy_lancer]

i don't know
but you've already got your own really special skills, right?
still, if you wanna learn i can try teaching you

[chainsawn]

I think they're not as special as yours though. After all, my abilities are just the ones of an unpopular person..

[puppy_lancer]

who said you have to be unpopular if you're not popular?
and even if you're unpopular your abilities are still special
nobody else i know can spout wolf ears

[chainsawn]

I thought there were popular and unpopular people.. And I know of things that can sprout wolf ears. Wolves themselves, of course.

[puppy_lancer]

there's also normal people

[Though normal people were also boring and Urotsuki was anything but boring.]

well, i've never seen a wolf turn its ears into human ears before

[chainsawn]

[ .. Huh. So there's a group inbetween them..! But then again, she's still fairly sure she isn't normal either, people always say she's weird, so she has to be unpopular after all.. ]

Maybe there's a wolf that can do that here in the tower. They can match with me.

[puppy_lancer]

we should go look for one
when we both have the time
and then we can give it to kidou as a pet or something

[chainsawn]

Really? Do you think Yuuto would like to have a pet like that? If it's for his sake, I'll make sure to try extra hard to find one.

[puppy_lancer]

i could ask the next time i see him
'hey kidou i can't get you a penguin would you like to have a wolf'

[chainsawn]

Maybe we can get him a penguin wolf. Half penguin, half wolf.

.. I guess it's sort of like a wolf that can lay eggs.

[puppy_lancer]

you know now i really hope one of those exists
if anything the eggs would taste good

[chainsawn]

Really? Have you ever had a penguin egg to eat before? I wonder if they taste different from chicken eggs..

[puppy_lancer]

nope never had penguins in my place
but they probably do taste different
hawk eggs taste different from crow eggs

[chainsawn]

You've had hawk eggs before..? And crow ones? That's so amazing, I've never had any but chicken eggs, so those only all taste the same.

[puppy_lancer]

i had to climb a bit to get those
we had some chickens in my place but i was out travelling around a lot

[chainsawn]

That sounds great. I've always wanted to travel before.. seeing new sights is the best kind of thing.

[puppy_lancer]

were you never able to travel before?
that's a shame
though, if we go on one of the outdoor floors
that's travelling, right?

[chainsawn]

Does that count? It's not like you can go to another country here the way you can back home. I've travelled a lot in my dreams, but.. I guess that doesn't really count either.

[puppy_lancer]

it depends on what sort of dreams
sometimes the dreams are like reality
and you're really going into those places even though it doesn't look like you are

[chainsawn]

Yeah, I think dreams are really real too. They seem more real than real things do sometimes.

But other people said dreams are just dreams.

[puppy_lancer]

if they're real to you then it's real
unless you wanna believe what other people say and think that it isn't
