[Lancer looks outright haggard as he appears on the feed. However, he at least has his normal form back.]

Master. Brother. I'm okay now.

[And then he shuts off the feet.]

nothing more than the regular amount, honestly.
it's all beginning to get kind of samey, actually. twist people into unholy monsters. wait a few months. rinse. repeat. scurrying over it already got old.

Re: text

[puppy_lancer]

only this time they actually bled info out of us
at least, out of the people in that last group

[beknightedheroine]

so he's trying to be a little self preserving now.

that's encouraging. they think we have info that it's better for them to know than not. i like that, even if it's been 'got' now.

means ~somebody~ out there is at least just a little worried, and might start wondering if there's even more.

[proteusmoon]

Lancer... I would like to see you.

[puppy_lancer]

yeah
but some guys might have been able to make real progress against jason and the rest of them
would be shit if that got ruined

[puppy_lancer]

[He winces. He can still remember staring over Cecil's bed during his changed state.]

You...would?

[He gives a nervous chuckle.]

video

[proteusmoon]

Of course I would. Nothing that happened was your fault.

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

Have you...even heard about what I really did?

[proteusmoon]

[ She doesn't want to bring up the situation, but she nods after hesitating briefly. ]

...I know what happened with Diarmuid.

[oathshackledbird]

Brother, I want to speak with you, but not over one of these things.

[Actually, he just wants to hug him and tell him to his face that everything is okay.]

Will you meet me in our room?

[chainsawn]

Ah.. everyone's back to normal?

[ Urotsuki just didnt't talk to the people looking weird - or maybe she tried talking to a few but left after getting no response. Not that she knew Lancer was involved in it too, and she seems blank and unfazed as usually. ]

[puppy_lancer]

Pretty much. Did you stay safe through that mess, kid?

Re: Video

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer stiffens, and then gives his brother a shaky smile.]

I-if you want...

Have you see your Master yet?

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

Oh.

[He shifts around, a little awkwardly.]

Shouldn't you be more worried about him then?

Re: Video

[oathshackledbird]

Of course, I do!

[He pauses at the next question and nods.]

I found him in the meadow after I...woke...up. He should be resting now. If not, I will have to resort to more extreme methods than just talking to him.

However for now, I am more worried about you.

Re: Video

[puppy_lancer]

W-why? I'm fine right now. But if you really wanna see me, I'm heading over.

Video to Action

[oathshackledbird]

I will be waiting.

[And after ending the video, he will be. Diarmuid will be sitting on the end of his bed, dressed in his casual clothes, though his shirt is open and his shoes and socks are missing as usual. He might look relaxed, but tension is obvious between his eyes and across his shoulders. His room has always been something of a safe haven for him, but after dying here at Mami's hands it is hard for him to be completely relaxed here anymore.]

Re: Video to Action

[puppy_lancer]

[And in a little while, Cu Chulainn slowly opens the door a tiny bit and pokes his head in.]

Bro...?

Action

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid looks up, almost seeming to be startled. Deep down, part of him had been afraid maybe his brother wouldn't come. But, thankfully, he has.

Quickly, Diarmuid stands, crossing the room and throwing his arms around his brother once he has fully opened the door. He says nothing. What message could words pass that his tight grip does not already say?]

Re: Action

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer wraps his arms equally tight around his brother.]

...Thank you.

[He mutters as his eyes start going wet. His brother was good at guessing what he needed, but felt too awkward to ask for.]

[But even though Diarmuid's embrace is comforting, he can't completely relax. He can still remember his deeds when he was that beast thing. How he had torn at Diarmuid's bones, and then how he had torn apart his brother's corpse.]

A-and I'm sorry...

Re: Action

[oathshackledbird]

Don't be sorry. We have already traded our apologies, remember?

[Diarmuid's voice is soft as he gives his brother another squeeze, before stepping back and pulling him into the room.]

I don't wish to waste anymore time with "I'm sorry" when we both could be comforting each other instead. That is more important than apologizing for things that were beyond our control.

[proteusmoon]

I am worried about him, but I can afford to split my attention as I wish. I saw him the day afterward.

[chainsawn]

Uh-huh. [ a small nod. ]

People were being.. a little strange, right? So I stayed away from them.
