001; UNSURE.... [Video]

[There's a nervous red-head appearing on the video feed. He looks rather confused, considering what happened, and all as soon as he got here. It looked like any other town, so there had to be someone that knew what the hell happens here at night.]

I'm kind of new to the city. Does anyone out there mind explaining some things to me?

Looks like you, bad attitude, black armor with a heart kinda symbol on the front? He showed up a few days ago.

[Spoken in that tone of voice like "duh the sky is blue" gosh Luke you are totes speaking in obvious things.]

[Excuse him for a moment. He is laughing once Lancer finishes his sentence. SERVES THAT JERK RIGHT -- But no. Once his laughing fit is over and he gains composure, he nods.]

Asch and I ran into replicas of ourselves that almost tried to kill us. [Sighing.] Then something else happened.

[That... monster thing that appeared before him. It kind of confused him.] I heard a strange voice, and some white thing on a cross appeared behind me.

[Laughter status: infectious. Shadow status: sobering.]

Replicas? Good a name as any for 'em. They're turning into a pretty common problem the last few days.

[He shrugs, and grins.]

Looks like you made it out alright, though. That's about the weirdest things get around here, too. That answer your questions?

Yeah. Thanks to Messiah. ... And Asch throwing a pipe at his shadow.

[He knows it's name but he doesn't know what it is!

Once Lancer grins, he smiles back sheepish.] I actually have one more if you don't mind answering.

[...Really, if there's anything he's learned, it's that people who throw swords usually ~~cheat~~win in the end. He'll take that at face value.]

Sure. What's on your mind?

[But it was a steel pipe. He pulled a James Sunderland!]

... Why are we all here?

[Seeing Asch was one big shock. A very, very big shock.]

Couldn't tell you. Common theory seems to be to fight the shadows -- which, incidentally, only started looking like people a few days back. Normally they're blobs with masks.

[He lets out a small chuckle.]

Lucky you, coming in at the time things started to get more interesting.

[... Choochootrain. Luke is giving you the upmost, Do not want stare through the video feed. Interesting? INTERESTING? THEY ALMOST DIED.]

This places seem pretty normal other than what happens at night time...

[Well okay he was being kind of sarcastic. Maybe.

Stomping mudholes in blobs gets kind of boring okay... :|]

Other than the people dropping in out of nowhere? Yeah, I'll agree with you on that.

[Stop curbstomping them, Choochootrain.]

Say, what's your name?

Just call me Lancer. Good a name as any, won't have you stumbling on pronunciation either. You?

[Choochootrain.]

Nice to meet you, Lancer. I'm Luke Fon Fabre, but you can just call me Luke.

Thanks for helping me out.

[See, see that's what he's trying to avoid. Also he's kind of lazy for a heroic spirit sometimes...]

No problem, Luke. It'd be kinda rude to leave the newcomers totally in the dark, wouldn't it?

Yeah, you're right.

[Luke likes this guy. His cheerful attitude makes him smileeee.] Say, are there any jobs around the city? I figured I could work for awhile if I'm stuck here.

Work? Yeah, all kinds of stuff, actually. It's pretty easy to snag one or two jobs.

[Says the guy who seems to be working a different part-time job every day...]

[How do you even --]

Thanks a lot, Lancer. I owe you one.

[It is because if you're Cu Chulainn? You're fucking awesome when ~~the fateverse isn't making you into Kenny McCormick~~lady luck isn't mad with you.]

Heh, if you say so. Giving out a little bit of information like that ain't much of anything.

[SHUT UP STOP BEING SO COCKY CHOOCHOOTRAIN]

You helped a lot. ... But I wonder if any of this information is gonna be of use to Asch.

[Or did Asch already ask these questions.]

He asked stuff along the same lines as that -- pretty standard questions for new arrivals, I'm starting to see.

[Why stop being smug when apparently he can read your mind only not really]

[GET AWAY YOU PERSON WHO ACTS LIKE JADE BUT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HIM]

I see. [What else...] Is there anything else I should know about the city?

[what no Jade's an immoral prick.

ransaa's just a demigod from medieval times :|]

Biggest thing to know is the midnight fun with the shadows. Other'n that... jobs, lodging, where you can find a weapon worth a damn... I know I answered the first, need to know 'bout the other two?

Huh? Would my weapon not work? [Through the video feed, Choochootrain will probably notice that Luke is glancing down at his weapon that he had since he got here.]

[The... the video screen isn't all-encompassing, man. He can see you looking down but not at what. He can't really read your mind, after all.]

Depends what you got to bring with you. I wasn't lucky enough to carry a memento in with me.

[WELL DO YOU SEE NOW THAT HE'S PLACING THE KEY OF LORELEI IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA CHOOCHOOTRAIN? ~~It's too hot for TV~~ But no. He really is placing the Key of Lorelei so Choochootrain can inspect the blade. ... That doesn't really look like a blade because graphics of 2006 and all.]

Would this work?

[Woah it's like I can see the jaggies... wait that was more of a PSX thing.]

Dunno, do you actually know how to use that thing? If you do, I'd say it's good.
