[ Today, there's an awfully familiar voice suddenly being broadcast over the network. One that has been absent for a little over a month now. ]

Hey, you false gods. It's rather rude to throw out a guest just after you've returned something that was rightfully his to begin with.

[ Then the video feed clicks on, and anyone watching is met with those crimson eyes, oddly enough filled with amusement despite his less than friendly sounding tone. It seems like he's sitting on a throne... but the sky is all around him? What the hell is going on here? ]

It's a good thing I was able to hide it away from these mongrels before my sudden departure. I'm sure you filthy animals would have loved to get your unworthy paws all over my treasure. Just the thought of it makes me want to vomit.

[ Yes, he's gloating. And now showing off as much of his super awesome ancient airship as he can. Granted, it's also dripping wet and covered in various sea-life at the moment. But he'll have it cleaned. Eventually. ]

Anyway. I'll require information about all that has taken place since my departure.

...You could at least have the common decency to be a little less arrogant for a moment, you know.

[king_of_heroes]

Give me a break. I've been dead for only the gods know how long.

[croibhristeoir]

You are not the only one that's experienced death once or twice, so let's not assume you're special for it.

[king_of_heroes]

Maybe not. But it's boring. Painfully so.

Be glad I didn't decide to celebrate my return by dropping a few nuclear bombs on the island.

[croibhristeoir]

You wouldn't. Even you would not go nearly that far.

[king_of_heroes]

Not now, maybe. But that was actually the plan back when the grail was actually amusing.

[croibhristeoir]

Really? You'd have wiped Fuyuki and likely the country out of existence for that?

[king_of_heroes]

Of course. Because the human race has become a mere shadow of what it used to be. Look around you. These people aren't important. They play no vital roles anymore. They are useless. That was my ideology. Only the strong survive. I was going to destroy everything and rebuild the world into a paradise.

[croibhristeoir]

If that is really what you think, then you're more of a fool than I ever thought you were.

[king_of_heroes]

And now you sound exactly like her. Congratulations.

If you're referring to Arturia, then you could pay me no higher compliment, King of Heroes.

If not, I fear you're just babbling incoherently and I wonder if perhaps you hit your head.

[king_of_heroes]

Who else could I possibly be referring to? You two are the only imbeciles left in this age that believe chivalry will somehow make up for the past.

That is, unless much as changed in my absence.
