A question.

[It took him a while, but the relieved face on the screen could notify you of the fact that he actually got the Gear working the way he wanted it to.]

While I appreciate the 'hospitality' that's been bestowed to me, I have something important to go back to.

[there's some awkwardness as a Budew peeked into the feed, while the dark-haired male let out a small sigh.]

Not now, little one.

[Gently pushing her away from the feed, he's going to continue speaking.]

Thus, if someone could kindly lead me back to Fuyuki City, I would be thankful for your aid.

[...And with that said.]

Ah, if you need something to call me by, Lancer would be fine.

[The feed's going to be cut off at this point.]

...No way.

[You get a disbelieving (but oddly elated) individual responding.]

No way. It's you, isn't it? You're the fourth Lancer, aren't you?!

[video]

[ealaigh]

[...Oh? He never expected to have... an unknown person knowing of the War speaking to him in this strange land.]

...That would be correct.

[The male seemed guarded compared to his earlier polite post to the network now, no thanks to the blue-haired male response to his question.]

[video]

[riastrad_ridire]

This is great--really, really great. I keep hearing about you, I was really hoping you might turn up here!

[seriously, what is this guy's DEAL]

I'm the fifth Lancer--or I was. My name's Cu Chulainn--you're Diarmuid, aren't you?

[ealaigh]

Whatever tale you've been told about, I assure you that it's an—

[over...exaggeration...]

[ex_cashcow493]

Lancer?

[ Have a King of Knights who looks anything but a knight. With a pink apron around her chest and her hair pulled into a ponytail more than the tradition braided bun, she stares at the PokeGear in her hand with more childlike curiosity than before. ]

You are... is it truly you?

[ealaigh]

[...

There's just this silence as he regarded the figure before him. Perhaps it's the shock, or maybe it's the fact that Saber is not decked in armor as per the terms of their duel.

...Whatever it was, it caused the question to fly past his head for the moment.]

...Pardon?

video; I am so behind but whatever shows my tag bias slightly <3

[ex_cashcow493]

Lance....er, perhaps I am mistaken?

[ Oh no, now she's uncertain as to what she's seeing. Maybe some part of her wanted to see him here so desperately that she's starting to imagine it.

Or worse: he doesn't remember her. ]

Just... the name you gave is peculiar, is it not?

[VIDEO]

[greatestcool]

You're from Fuyuki? So am I!

[Ryuunosuke is grinning widely. He recognizes the name as one of the Servants, but he figures it's better not to mention that.]

My name's Uryuu. Welcome to Johto! Unfortunately, it's impossible to get back to Fuyuki City right now. See, you can't leave this place. It sucks, but this place is pretty cool too! You get to train more of those creatures - Pokémon - and battle them! The battles are really cool!

[VIDEO]

[ealaigh]

Ah, really?

[...well, that would explain the lack of weapon to some degree, at the very least.]

[VIDEO]

[greatestcool]

Yep! It's kinda strange, but you'll get used to it after awhile.

[usedshooshpap]

A lot of us have something important to go back to. Pick a number and wait your turn to get sent right along your merry fucking way.

voice;

[ealaigh]

Then there is a possibility for us to return.

[...it's a good thing he's kinda used to... brash personalities, at the very least.]

voice;

[usedshooshpap]

Yes, there is. It can be in the form of a coma or a more... Permanent arrangement.

Either way, we have no control over that.

[heartandsong]

Unfortunately we can't just go back like we want...but the good thing is that time kinda...does weird things while we're here! No matter how long you're here when you go back home, you'll go back to the time from when you came!

At least, that's what I've been told.

[ealaigh]

...

[it's a good thing he got a small grasp on the 2nd Magic to not actually be surprised at this, but well, at least it's a welcome news.]

I see, thank you for your answer.

[He appreciates you trying, at the very least.]

[heartandsong]

You're welcome! I'm sorry if my explanation was confusing...I don't exactly understand how it all works, still.

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

I'm not aware of a... Fuyuki City anywhere in Johto or Kanto.

[ video ]

[ealaigh]

So I've heard.

[And considering the explanations both Saber and Lancer gave him, it's only natural to assume that too.]

In light of that, though, can you tell me about the cities of this land?

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

I suppose that depends on where you are right now. There are two regions that I'm aware of, each with their own cities and towns. Saffron City and Goldenrod City are probably the largest in their respective regions, though.

[achillean]

Sorry to say, Fuyuki's a long way away. You won't be able to get back from here as it's...in a different universe, really.

There's something you should know, I don't know how you feel about your Master one way or other, but he's here and you have no obligation to uphold your contract in this place.

[ealaigh]

[...Kayneth's here.

Well, if anything, this... is actually one of the better news he's heard, but better in what way would be the question here.

Still, he's never seen this stranger before, even back in Fuyuki. And he's certainly not the overseer...]

Have we met?

[He's... sort of avoiding the last part of the young man's statement, for now at least, until he could ascertain his identity.]

video

[achillean]

...Right. We have, but...well. Waver Velvet, I was Rider's Master.

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, it's you...

[First Waver goddamn Velvet and his servant who was supposed to be his servant and now the servant he actually got, who he still doesn't have a very good bearing on even though he now knows Lancer isn't responsible for his clusterfuck of a relationship. Not solely responsible, anyway.

...well, if nothing else, he looks a hell of a lot better than he does after... certain events have transpired, though he does look somewhat tired.]

You certainly took your time arriving here, Lancer.

[video]

[ealaigh]

I apologize for being late, Master.

[...well, looks like the boy (well, not exactly a boy, but details) was right, considering his Master is looking...

Wait, he's certainly looking quite healthy as opposed to being fatally injured.]

...You seem healthier than I remember you being.

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

...What are you talking about, even...?

[...that was kind of snappish, but... well, there's probably some wibbly wobbly timey wimey things going on here and Waver said something would go wrong, so-]

I meant that as an actual question, by the way. This world brings people in from different points in time-for reference, I arrived here shortly after beginning to assault the Einzbern castle.
