V I D E O ・ 001

[And now isn't this quite the sight to see? Caster's gaze peers silently into the odd screen for a long moment. It may seem as if those odd eyes are peering into your soul. Instead, however, he's simply trying to figure it out.]

What use is this... [One long nail taps the screen, scratching it slightly, and he frowns.]

Do I yet dream this? This pitiful dream. Ah-

[And he notices it's recording. Expressionlessly, he stares at the screen a little harder, before his voice rises darkly.]

Tell me, you on the other end of this strange device. Tell me! Who are you? What is it you want from me?

[Stop the presses. Is that who Ryuunosuke thinks it is? Is that really him? The coolest person to ever exist in his life?

Ryuunosuke's mouth hangs open for a second before he absolutely beams.]

You know who I am, sir~ And I don't want anything from you except to figure out where you are so I can find you again!

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--]

[BEING LANCER IS SUFFERING]

Caster--?!

[Oho. Now that draws his attention. A familiar voice in a troublesome time. He remembered feeling the prana source sever. Was this then some kind of afterlife?

He nods firmly and turns the phone to scan over the area around him.]

I will wait for you, Ryuunosuke.

I'll be right there!

[And he really will be right there, in a mad dash to where he recognizes Caster to be. A mad dash that ends up with him practically flinging himself at Caster in what is meant to be a hug.]

I missed you so much~~!

[Hi there, look of annoyance and distaste being thrown your way.]

So you died too. This is indeed an unfortunate and cruel act by an unkind and unnecessary God! [Except if he's here and Ryuunosuke's here...]

Hehe. I see.

[Oh, he could feel the headache coming on already.]

I did. However, as you can clearly see, here we both are. Quite alive and breathing.

Ah.

[ That may be the most surprised anyone's ever seen Saber. ]

[Now that is definitely unexpected. For Caster, it has been mere moments since he saw Ryuunosuke last. For him to appear seemingly out of nowhere, unsensed and unexpected, and throw himself upon his person - it's startling. He doesn't fall, at least, although he stumbles and grasps Ryuunosuke's shoulders to try to support them both.

How dramatic for such a short time. Did something happen?]

I am here now. [Clapping him on the shoulder, a moment later he wrapped an arm around both of them in a firm embrace.] Was I gone so long?

It must be a trick of some kind. Clearly this is impossible.

Were you the one that stole my book, Lancer?

Ah-! My Holy Maiden, what a surprise to see you here also! It must be fate.

[Caster hugs are the best. Ryuunosuke doesn't show many signs of letting go.]

I've been here without you for three months. And there's been so much I wanted to show you. It's a better place than it looks the first day, I promise, but it's much much better now that you're here.

I have nothing to do with the loss of your Noble Phantasm this time, Caster.

Oh? Then you're telling me you were not the one behind this?

That's exactly what I am saying. The rest of us are just as much victims of this place as you.

[He's not about to let go either, since Ryuunosuke obviously needs it. Perhaps this place is not so bad. Yet still, the loss of his powers - he can feel it. It throws him off a little. Good or bad? A good opportunity or a bad situation? Yet if Ryuunosuke survived here alone for three months with his enemies here, then there must be some merit to it.]

Three months? Yet for me it has been only moments. Whoever brought us here must be powerful indeed. I would be delighted to see what new entertainments you've found.

There are definitely some entertainments! The cooler ones just work a little better at night, most of the time. I mean, I've killed people in the daytime too, but that's old hat. Other things, though...

[A theatrical whisper, since he's close enough that he can.] Tonight I'll summon us a demon.

Truly a powerful being must be behind this. Are your Noble Phantasms also missing?

[That earns him a chuckle.]

Another one? [Had not Ryuunosuke mistaken him also for a demon at first? Or... was he wrong at all? Lowering his voice to match Ryuunosuke's, his voice becomes a low rumble.]

I wonder what sort of demon you've called up this time, Ryuunosuke!

They are. [He didn't trust Caster, but he sure as hell wasn't going to start lying. Besides, his Persona was the best there was. If it came to a fight, Lancer was confident he could win.]

You'll get to see.

...Uh, but, what should we do in the meantime?

[Then that likely means the same for her... Oh, now this is an opportunity.]

You don't seem too unhappy. Have you given in to this place already? Submitted to the simplicity and deception of an ordinary life?

Come! Where are you residing? I would like to hear a little about this place.

There's a hotel that lets newcomers have free rooms for some reason, I'm staying in a room there since my job doesn't pay all that well. [Pulling away enough to tug on his arm.] I can give you the whole tour of the city.

Simplicity? You would be foolish to assume such a place is as simple as it looks. I should think you of all people would recognize signs of the Second and possibly even Third Magic.

It must be a very small city. If in only three months, you know it so well as that.

[He moves fluidly at the tug, heading in the direction he's tugged in.]

Unless, that is, you have been overvigilant in learning your way around.
