THE FIRST ☠ VIDEO

[The video opens to a young man dressed in purple, looking a bit anxious.]

...Oh man, I really hope this thing is working. I don't think I broke it, but it's not like the 'Gear, so I don't know if it's actually transmitting...

[He studies it for a moment before finally relaxing. An easy smile crosses his face and he leans forward a bit, actually managing to look at the camera.]

Well, if this thing's working, then hi! I just woke up here this morning, so I'd like to know what's going on. The last thing I remember is going to bed in [the Team Rocket base, but he's not going to mention that] Goldenrod, and now I'm here. I don't think this is like that weird dream everyone had - this doesn't look like that castle, after all - but correct me if I'm wrong!

[He steps back from the terminal and reaches up to absently tug at the collar around his neck. For those of you who recognize this man, it might be a bit of a surprise to see that the collar is blue.]

Oh yeah, what are these for? I definitely didn't have this on when I went to sleep. It's kind of annoying, but I can't get it off. Is there any reason for that?

[Ryuunosuke pauses, tapping a finger to his chin in thought. As he's thinking, a strange ghost floats into the frame and starts pulling faces behind Ryuunosuke's back. He doesn't seem aware of it at all.]

I think that's about it. I guess I'll be here in the library if you want to come talk to me directly, otherwise I'll respond on this thing! ...Assuming it's working, that is. I'll feel really dumb if this isn't broadcasting...

[He reaches over to shut the camera off, still smiling innocently.]

I don't know, I guess I did. Sometimes you have dreams of your Servant's memories, I think that's what started it. I started to understand him because of that.
nonacquiescent: (and it's not hard to tell)

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2014-02-11 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, actually. As far as I know, I'm the only one who lived, but we didn't win, so...
nonacquiescent: (it seems so sensible)

What girl? Irisviel?

[Come to think of it, he hasn't seen her lately.]

...Of course he's from the future, why else would he be older than me.

[Normally he would refuse to say, but then, Diarmuid has been willingly giving out his name to differentiate himself from the other Lancer... He frowns for a moment, deciding if he should or not.]

He's from Irish mythology, Diarmuid ua Duibhne. But, well, it's true nothing much measures up to Alexander the Great.
nonacquiescent: doubled (before I could realise my age had)

I didn't really either. Still, most Servants are impressive, and he's definitely in the top I've seen and met. He was part of our version of things too, so.
nonacquiescent: (it's just seven days)

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2014-02-11 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, apparently they're all the same Servants, and also Masters, but divided differently. ...I forget who ended up summoning Rider, I think that was a swap, though, yeah.

[As bad as he'd feel for Rider having to put up with Professor Archibald...he's also pretty sure Rider is the only one who could make Kayneth's life totally miserable. And he likes that.]

It would make sense though, I...got the catalyst from him.

[Stole it, whatever.]
nonacquiescent: (I cannot help the things I say)

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2014-02-11 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, right. People who actually do this on purpose and know how to use magecraft find something to use as a catalyst to summon a Servant. Something related to them to call them.
nonacquiescent: (my dear London goodnight)

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2014-02-11 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
No, you really didn't.

[But hey if he's going to praise Waver's ability in a roundabout way, then yes, let's]

He is. The strongest in that war for sure.
nonacquiescent: (so grit your teeth and stand your ground)

[personal profile] nonacquiescent 2014-02-12 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Because shut up.

Things happened, we lost resources. Mostly in bothering with Caster.

[And it is largely his fault, not having enough mana to begin with. Lowering Rider's stats with his own weakness...but no, no one will hear him say what he knows to be the case.]
