[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 guess that's it! It's kind of a weird name. You'd think it'd stick out more.

I don't think it's an entirely uncommon one where I'm from. Yours is the unusual one if you ask me.

It's normal if you're Japanese.

And mine's normal in my own country. You came here from Japan, then.

Yeah, I did. It's all right.

I don't believe I've ever been there.

[It irritated him to be openly dishonest like that, but...for now, some things would have to take priority.]

It's a little boring to be honest. They're not as... conforming, in other places.

[Now that was irritating.]

And should I assume it's less boring around here?

The coffins and monsters are pretty new. [He's seen different things with Caster, but he's never fought any of those for obvious reasons.] But I wonder if that'll get old, too.

Somehow I doubt it will.

[Especially if he'd have to fight the people coming here as well as the creatures at night.]

Heh, that's good. Nothing worse than a boring kidnapping. Ah, but maybe it's interesting because it's supposed to be interesting and it's not... that's too deep for me.

I seriously doubt this will be too boring for any of us, Ryuunosuke. Were things in Japan really so uneventful?

Things get old after a while. Well - a little bit before I came here, I met someone cooler than me. I'm sure if we'd stayed together that I'd never run out of excitement.

That person you were looking for when you arrived, you mean?

Yeah, him! I still haven't found him; I guess he's not here yet.

'Yet'? You expect him to come here, then?

I'm hoping. Don't crush my dreams!

[Your dreams involve serial killing, Ryuunosuke...]

Of course not.

[ffffffff.]

Isn't there anybody from home you miss?
