Backdated to after Zombie log and BEFORE Halloween

[There's a Shirou rubbing his eyes and looking a bit tired two days after the Zombie Boss Fight. Though at the very least he's not looking that depressed anymore.]

Sorry for worrying you guys back there, but I'm alright now, so don't worry about it.

[And then on to business.]

I've noticed that Halloween is coming up soon, so if some of you are being a bit confused over what it entails, feel free to ask me.

[Someday I'll stop spamming you guys. But in the immortal words of Aragorn, 'it is not this day'.]

We know little of this place. That much is obvious; we don't understand the Shadows, the Dark Hour, or the method and reason with which we were brought here.

But I've come to realize something--for myself and surely many of you, this place is another chance. I've been foolish, laboring under the belief that our situations back home still applied. Hiding behind my class name, allowing my former Master's words to affect me so severely...I was quite an idiot until recently. The normal rules no longer apply. Restrictions and standards we may have been held to before our arrival are nearly all meaningless now, and even those of us that were adversaries may as well be on the same side against the machinations of the Shadows and the world itself.

[Lancer reached up and took off his glasses to set them aside, gold eyes steady and calm.]

I don't understand how I arrived, but I know now why I am here--to accept this chance and live for myself. To do what I think is right rather than follow orders I don't believe in. Not live in service to another, and no longer live as less than who I am. And with this chance I am discarding the name of 'Lancer' as well as the position of Servant it implies.

[He took a deep breath, gaze fixed on the camera while he spoke in a determined, even tone.]

My name is Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, first knight of the Fianna once led by Fionn mac Cumhaill. I lived in Ireland at least two thousand years ago, eloped across the country with a woman named Gráinne, and eventually died at the age of twenty-five.

[Still as calm as when he began, Lancer spoke something as absurd and yet so simple as those plain facts.]

[Mainly because a) Gilgamesh pretty much wrecked all semblance of secrecy anyway and b) the Lawful Neutral guy just stopped giving a fuck.]

If you should think I'm utterly mad for such declarations? I really can't blame you. But after all that's happened, after the realization I've finally reached...I really don't care. Call me insane or deluded if you will. It won't be the worst insult I've had thrown at me, I assure you.

...Forgive me, I've already spoken far longer than I planned to. If you've listened at all, I appreciate the sentiment. I'm not even certain of what I hoped to accomplish with this. I've...spoken far more candidly in recent days than I ever thought I could. All I know for sure is that this could be my final chance at living. I will not spend it as a Servant.

If this life ends in failure, it will fail due to my own choices rather than circumstances I was forced into. And if it doesn't fail at all, then I imagine that's the best I could ask for.

[It's just after lunch period at the high school, so Saori still has her work apron on.]

So...I have a question. Where can I get a weapon? I lost my bat during the scuffle with the zombies and then I was dead for more than a week. Not to mention I think it's about time I upgraded.

Oh and Kaiji, about dinner. Let me know when you'd like to have so I can plan things out. I was thinking maybe beef stew or something like that.

[With that the feed shuts off.]

Chapter 06 ~ Video

[best-king.livejournal.com]

[ The video feed cuts on, and an awfully familiar image is seen. Yes, Ur-Nungal snatched Gilgamesh's phone away and it pawing at it again. Mainly because he thinks he can actually touch whoever he sees on the screen. Eventually, his brother will join him in a pawing frenzy! Isn't this so adorable? Of course, someone has to come and ruin their fun. ]

Pounce, Gal. How many times have I told you two not to play with my treasures?

[ The phone will suddenly start panning all over the room as he wrestles it from the clutches of the two adorable felines. And then...

Why hello there, Gilgamesh. You are back home and also your shirt is off? Okay, more like he has a towel draped around his shoulders, seeing as he just got out of the shower, but details, details. And don't worry, it's not like he's stupid enough to show off anything below the belt to you mongrels. Totally not worthy.  Just enjoy the nice view of his still half-wet hair and perfectly chiseled abs. ]

Oh well. I suppose this is perfect timing. Allow me to inform those of you that know her that Saber is currently residing in my condo until further notice. That is all.

[ And with that, the camera cuts off. ]
