[Diarmuid's shadow was accepted, his main problem with Fionn settled, and...things were pretty good. The Fourth Holy Grail War had been an unmitigated disaster, but he no longer needed the approval of a Master to find contentment. He'd cast off his class name and status as a Servant and felt better for it. Other than the lingering tension he couldn't quite help but sense between himself and Saber, things were peaceful.]

[His next step was to find out a little more about this world and era he was in--Diarmuid was painfully aware of how clueless many of the Servants here were, himself included. So he'd set himself to doing just that during the daylight hours; this afternoon in particular he sat on a park bench in casual clothes. It was getting cold in Prospero, but the weather never really bothered him much. At any rate, his attention was focused on the book in his hands and whatever was on the headphones he was wearing. How did a Servant get a portable radio working, you ask? Freak chance and twenty minutes of figuring out what most of the buttons did.]

[If he looks mildly confused at any point, it's because he has no earthly idea what he's listening to.]

Yo~

[Yeah, this is the worst person to sit next to you on that park bench, bar Sola.]

[croibhristeoir]

[Hm? Did he just hear someo--HOLY SHIT A RYUUNOSUKE GET IN THE CAR]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty nice day, isn't it? I hear in the western United States they're having windstorms, but over here it's just a little chilly. Hey, why are you looking at me like that?

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

-Ever get the feeling you're being watched?-

[croibhristeoir]

[More often than you think, Juri.]

...?

[He'll just be taking those headphones off and looking around now.]

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

-There's a rustling not far off.-

[stripping.livejournal.com]

[Is this a more welcome sight? He's even dressed vaguely appropriately.]

[croibhristeoir]

[Yes, yes it is.]

[And upon noticing him, Lancer would just be shutting the book, taking off the headphones, and giving his ~best friend~ a brohug.]

[Because damn is he ever in a great mood after all this shit.]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

[Hugs are the best things, and even if he is a little startled by it, that brohug is so getting returned.]

[truthsnomiracle]

[Either Edgeworth is already employed or he came with a lot of cash in his wallet, because he's now walking down the path with a shopping bag in hand. He does slow down upon noticing Diarmuid ahead, however, having remembered the way he had cut off his conversation with the ancient knight... and been forced to face his reasons why that very night whether he wanted to or not.

Now, it appeared that a second chance was being handed to him.]

Diarmuid.

[croibhristeoir]

Hm?

[He looked up, taking off the headphones and lowering the book he held with a smile.]

Hello, Edgeworth. [If the abrupt end to their conversation had bothered him at all, it was impossible to tell from the friendly smile on his face.]

[truthsnomiracle]

[That made things less awkward, then. Edgeworth seats himself at the other end of the bench and sets his bag down in front of him. There's something black in it.]

Er... hello. You seem well.

I believe that there are several points in our previous conversation that I failed to request clarification of.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[Well there was a slightly familiar face. Gaignun didn't exactly want to disturb Diarmuid's reading, but he wanted to see what book the man had gotten a hold of. So he'll risk getting a bit closer. Besides, he had to check to see if Diarmuid had found out about that shadow guide that young Atsuro had been putting together.]

[croibhristeoir]

[As it turned out, Diarmuid was reading through what looked like a world history textbook somewhere around the college level. Why he chose that would have been anyone's guess, had they not realized he knew almost literally nothing about the world in the past two millennia.]

[He didn't look up, not yet noticing Gaignun there.]

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[This world may be baffling for those from the past, but it's just as odd to someone from 4000 years from the future too. Still, a text book? Supposedly a good place to start but isn't that a little dry? Ok fine, so he will interrupt.]

Diarmuid?

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

[You people and your 'scarves' and 'making sure you're warm.' At least Cu Chulainn's sensible enough to be wearing a jacket (http://i42.tinypic.com/10i70uw.jpg).

He's also decided to lean over the back of the bench next to you, and glance at your book. So, enjoy that.]

[croibhristeoir]

[Your bff is a nerd, murderhound, because he seems to be reading a book on world history.]

...?

[Oh, was there someone th--HOLY SHIT A MURDERHOUND]

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

[It's cool. He's cool with nerds. He kind of married one more or less, remember? Weirdest courtship ritual ever... Land of Shadows included.]

Yo. 'Afternoon.

[Diarmuid's reactions are rather entertaining, sometimes. This is one of those times.]

[swallowreversed.livejournal.com]

[Hello I am a samurai and I proudly present you myself in purple hakama. What is casual clothes?

Really, Assassin's kind-of passing by around Diarmuid when the blue haired man noticed him in the park... Wearing something by his ears.

MILD INTEREST. He's going to watch from a reasonable distance.]

[croibhristeoir]

...?

[why is Kamui Gakupo staring at him I MEAN HI ASSASSIN]

[swallowreversed.livejournal.com]

[Whoops. Not ninja enough.]

Ah, forgive me for intruding you, Diarmuid [...was it? You Irishmen have weird name for us Japanese to pronounce.]. The thing by your ear caught my wondering.

[bodyburning.livejournal.com]

[What could someone possibly be listening to on one of those devices to be... confused...

Which is to say Ruler is probably staring a bit much when she really shouldn't be WHOOPS.]

[croibhristeoir]

...?

[Looking up in sliiiiight confusion.]

Arturia--no wait, I'm mistaken. Sorry, can I help you?

action; we need to have them make up before this though ;w; backdated log or during her shadow figh?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ A wild Saber has appeared!

Saber uses Sneak.

Ni~Ni~Ni~Ni~

It's super effective! Saber has successfully moved into position behind Diarmuid.

Then suddenly one of his ear plugs is pulled free from his ear, a curious look on her face as she leans in really close to listen for herself. Yes, that's a Saber breathing with her face all over his own. ]

During the fight's cool with me.

[croibhristeoir]

--?

Oh, hello Arturia. [He smiled, looking faintly embarrassed he hadn't noticed her there.]
