[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 dunno
maybe
i'm gonna see if i can deal with it by myself first
but thanks for the offer

It could be the start of another experiment. Or did something strange happen to you on one of the new floors?

[Something strange happened to him.]

[puppy_lancer]

yeah
but my roommate was on the same floor
same thing happened to him
he says he's fine
he also says the rest of the tower is fine
so it's probably not an experiment

[vermicompost]

I know some healers here. There's Ishtar and Raphael. Maybe one of them can help you.

[Kariya knows about healers. He can hook you up.]

[puppy_lancer]

really?
guess i'll ask around for them

[Only as a last resort, though. He doesn't know how good they are with breaking curses.]

[vermicompost]

You should. They're both kind people.

Are you sure you haven't done anything unusual lately?

[As far as Kariya's concerned, Lancer might get up to all kinds of things.]

[puppy_lancer]

pretty sure
though i did prank someone
but it was funny
people liked it

[vermicompost]

What kind of a prank?

You're positive it had nothing to do with this?

[puppy_lancer]

just redecorated his room
so it wouldn't be so gloomy

[vermicompost]

[This doesn't sound good, Lancer.]

Redecorated it with what?

[puppy_lancer]

oh just some blanket
and some curtains
and a sign commenting on the state of his dignity after being defeated so many times

[vermicompost]

That doesn't sound good. Do you think he could have something to do with this? Is he someone who has powers?

[A pause. There's something he's been wondering.]

How do you make your words in a different color?

[puppy_lancer]

okay i think i got this all figured out
with what my roommate told me
kariya
those healers you mentioned
can you tell them to find a girl named tetra
blonde hair, pointed ears, says she's a pirate
she needs them more than me

oh, that? there's an option to change your font color
see that little t and the colored spots under it
just click on that and pick a color

[vermicompost]

I think you might be able to find them in the clinic. Or tell Tetra to ask for them on the network. I can try to help too, but they might not know where to look for her.

Did this have something to do with your prank?

Thank you, I didn't know what that was for.

[puppy_lancer]

she says she's in her room
i can go find her there

she was my partner
we pulled the prank together
