[A; text; morning]

I hope everyone's doing well after all that's happened. Given the current situation, I'd like to offer combat training to those who need it. If there is anything I can do to help in that respect, let me know.

[B; action; late afternoon]

[Lancer had gotten himself a part-time job at a bookstore under the name 'Diarmuid Campbell' some time ago--aside from the obvious need for some source of money, there were things about this era the Grail hadn't seen fit to give him knowledge of. What better location than that to fill in the blanks and be a little less clueless about how to seem like a normal human.]

[Admittedly, the wire-framed glasses he was currently wearing may have been overdoing it. His eyesight was fine and the lenses did basically nothing. But Lancer had assumed two things: gold eyes weren't normal and so perhaps this would make the color a little less obvious. Secondly, someone in glasses might have seemed completely harmless. If there were people like the Master of that deplorable Servant Caster in the city, maybe being a little more subtle for now was the best plan.]

[He walked back in the direction of the hotel with a couple of books under one arm, in civilian clothes and trying to look as unnoticeable as possible. The former Servant felt defenseless without his Noble Phantasms or superhuman abilities, especially knowing someone like that was in the same city at that moment. Though he didn't much like the plan of hiding out until a better option presented itself, as a human in this situation there was little other option.]

I'd imagine it to be hard to handle for many of us. More so given the kind of things that happen at night here.

[He sighed, free hand moving to adjust his glasses slightly--hopefully they wouldn't be completely pointless, because they were a bit difficult to get used to.]

It's good to see people making the best of things, though.

[ yeah, that first dungeon crawl wasn't what she expected, though obviously she got out of it mostly unscathed. ] I agree. It would be best if more people adopted that sort of thinking.

[ now she takes an inquisitive glance at the books under his arm. ] Are you catching up on your reading?

Oh...something like that. I just thought I'd do a little research, considering how different this place is to where I come from.

[Lancer shifted position slightly, more awkward than uncomfortable. With at least one person he knew to be dangerous wandering the city, he knew he had to be cautious. Ryuunosuke didn't know what Lancer looked like as far as he knew, and he fully intended to keep the 'normal human' act up as long as physically possible.]

I'm afraid I'm a little bit lost when it comes to certain things in this country, shall we say.

[ she has no reason to suspect he may be up to something and therefore doesn't catch on to his subtlety. she instead smiles politely, impressed. ] Perhaps I learn from you and do the same. I have had very little success in my previous ventures of finding someone of authority to speak with, but I have yet to gather any extensive knowledge of Prospero itself. And I am not quite sure who to confront about the happenings at nightfall...

I think regarding things at night, we're all on equally confused footing so far. But I'd be happy to help you as far as any other information goes, if I can.

I gladly accept the offer. [ her smile becomes modest. ] And I will report to you any information I am able to find as well. I am positive there is much more to be seen about this land. It is only a matter of knowing when and where to look.

You're right, I'm sure. This is a whole country I've never seen before, so regardless of what happens at night there's certain to be plenty of fascinating things around.

It certainly is an adventure, in its own way. The differences between Prospero and my own home are so dramatically distinct- it truly is something to admire.

I could say much the same. My home country was strikingly different than this, and I'm admittedly eager to see more of it.

[ she breathes out quietly through her nose. ] Truly. While someday I do hope we are all able to return to our respective homes, we must not let this experience go to waste. [ with that, a thought occurs to me. ] Ah...and I remind myself that I must find employment during the next few days. Have you any luck in that area?

Actually, yes--I started working at a bookstore not too far from here. Nothing too difficult, thankfully.
