[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.]

Do you need any help?

[Oh, someone called back. There's a gap of a couple minutes before V/V gets a reply. The person from that video is now... sitting up in a tree? Judging by the surrounding branches.]

No, thank you. I'm alright.

That's good. Those are annoying Shadows.

They're called Shadows?

[Fitting.]

That's what I've always heard.

I see. [...] Have you heard anything else about them?

[You're the first person he's talked to who has actually acknowledged their existence.]

They come out at midnight, and there are different kinds... And there are bigger ones around the full moon. I've heard those things.

[He nods. Two things he knew, one thing he didn't.]

Alright. Thank you for telling me... do you need any help?

No, I'm fine. I stay inside most nights.

[Another nod.]

You live here, then?

I do now. I came here a few months ago.

Tell me of your location if you wish to live.

...I'm sorry for asking so many questions, [and now for an extra weird one] but did you intend to come here?

[It takes a few minutes for Saber to get a reply. It's also in text, so the person from the video is probably not right next to a monster anymore.]

I have already moved elsewhere, so please do not concern yourself with me.

[Assuming that wasn't some kind of threat.]

That would be strange, wouldn't it? No, I didn't.

[There's a short pause while the person over the video thinks, before he nods again, this time half to himself.]

Alright. If you don't mind one more question, may I ask what you are called?

V/V is the name I'm using now. Who are you? Can I ask that?

Thank you, V/V. [...] Yes, you may. I am using "Lancer", so please call me that.

Okay. But I've seen a couple other Lancers, Lancer. You might want to not be Lancer when you're talking to them.

[wait what

...]

...I'll keep that in mind.

I shall concern myself with those who cannot fight.

[ Simple enough in her mind. ]

Are you new here? I do not recall your appearance, but it is possible we have communicated only through text.

I can fight.

[...against the ones that actually die if they are ~~killed~~ hit enough times.]

Yes. I have not used text before, so I doubt it.

Against those?

[ While Saber has been fortunate enough to avoid running into them, she's yet to have the pleasure of fighting them herself. ]

Then I welcome you to Prospero. Where do you hail from originally?

"Those" I can avoid.

[They're very fun to deal with.]

Thank you. I was in California before coming here. [...] Who are you?

[If she is going to ask questions, he might as well ask some too.]

Do not permit them to roam free for long. They can swarm.

[ California? That's another part of the United States, she knows that much from working at the bookstore, a more famous part. ]

My name is Saber.
