[Accidental Video]

[This video, taken during the dark hour, is probably not going to be good for anyone's cardiac health. Why? Because it starts off showing a

VISCERAL MAYA

...right up close against the screen. Cute, ain't it. Looks like someone lost track of their phone during a fight. After a moment, though, said phone gets abruptly kicked away from the Shadow and scooped up by its owner once it finishes skidding along the ground. He (she?) appears on screen briefly, not looking terribly concerned (all things considered) as he glances down and notices he's being recorded. Chances are, none of you will recognize him, so he's most likely a newcomer.]

...Excuse me. [And off goes the video.]

[OOC/EDIT: Oh man. I'm very very sorry for the incredibly late replies and general fail, guys. R/L kind of ambushed me out of nowhere and yeah. Please feel free to just not tag back.]

[Give him a minute, he wholeheartedly agrees with that sentiment and would like to be somewhere else before messing with his phone.]

I'm alright, thank you. Do you fight "those" often?

Only recently. Sounds like you're new to the whole thing, huh?

Yes, very. [Everyone over this network seems to be a lot more helpful and friendly than the rest of locals.] May I ask how you deal with the... "Shadows" like the one that borrowed my phone a moment ago?

[For future reference.]

Those little ones? You have to hit them with something that isn't a weapon or your own body, far as I know. Fire, ice, lightning -- magic, basically.

...I see. [Welp. He's the furthest he's ever been from using "magic" right at this moment, unfortunately.] Then I will just avoid them in the future. Thank you.

No problem, miss. ~~(Lancer you fool)~~ Name's Lancer, feel free to give me a call if you need help with anything.

Lancer... you're one of the other two, then.

[~~enkidu you really shouldn't just ignore that first part there.]~~

That's a bit of a loaded statement. Mind elaborating?

[Though when he thought about it, didn't Diarmuid already throw away the name "Lancer"? Did that mean there was another beyond... well, him, and apparently this person?]

I heard that I share my name with two others here, so I was wondering who they were.

[Or this person's sources are out of date. "She" apparently isn't going to touch on the implications of carrying such a name.]

[Lancer made an annoyed sound. Odds were good this person was a servant, and all the grail war secrecy was kind of a bother to keep up when it mattered so little now.]

Servant Lancer, right? Which war? First, second, or third?

[This Lancer smiles, not that it can be seen over the phone. If the other party is going to ask so bluntly, he'll reply in kind.]

That is my title, but I was called for a war after those three.

Huh, one of the following ones then... Well, whatever. Welcome to Prospero, I guess. Whole lotta servants from a whole lot of wars are here.

[He chuckles.] Guess that means I'm not the newest Lancer, anymore.

Thank you.

[No, that wasn't sarcastic. Servants from different wars, huh. Sounds like ~~a huge mess~~ fun, in a way.]

Apparently not. There's one other, correct? Maybe I should just use a different name... [Since sharing it between three people might be a little confusing.]

Might be a good idea. One of us already dropped the name, and I've only kept it because hearing people in this time mangle my name when they try to say it might get depressing after a while.

Mine will likely confuse them as well... but I suppose it's better than us being mixed up. [If the other Servants here aren't going to bother hiding behind titles, neither will he.] Please call me "Enkidu".

[He raises an eyebrow at that. The bosom buddy of mankind's oldest ~~bully~~king was this waif-like woman?]

Enkidu? You mean you're that guy's brother?

[How shocking is that compared to King Arthur's identity?]

I do have a friend I called my brother, yes. Are you thinking of Uruk's king?

[But Enkidu helped wrestle the bull of heaven. Those tiny, tiny arms...]

Yeah, that would be Gilgamesh wouldn't it.

[Spoken in the tone of voice someone has when recalling a distasteful encounter.]

[And wrestled a certain king. And helped kill a giant. And made a...

...okay yeah. Wtf, grail.]

Yes. [Enkidu doesn't miss Lancer's tone, but he also doesn't seem too upset by it.] ...It sounds like you dislike the taste of that name, though.

Assuming you are who you say you are -- mostly because I've got no reason not to, let's just say he's making a habit of acting as he did before the two of you raised hell all over Babylon.

[There are a lot of points of interest in what Lancer just said, really. But Enkidu is most interested in how it's all present tense. His tone, which had remained pretty level throughout this entire conversation, now sounds noticeably more... cheerful?]

Is he here, as well?

[Obviously this subject is much more important than everything else.]

Unfortunately, yeah.

[Don't do it man, you know how much luck Lancers have with Archers...]

I see... [No comment on the "unfortunately". Enkidu thinks about that new information for all of a few seconds before going on.] Thank you, Lancer.

[And then he abruptly hangs up. No "good-bye" or "I have to go" or anything because apparently this is a matter of immediate urgency.

~~This is going to end well.]~~
