[A blue haired man appears in the camera, staring it for a second before shrugging. Apparently, this is how it works.]

Normally when I'm summoned, I show up in a circle of magic with a Master nearby, not waking up in a pod in a bay. So Master, if you've wandered off somewhere, let me know and I'll come find you.

[He sighs, and mutters under his breath] And a Caster again, too.

[unknowntodeath]

Sorry, but your Master is in another world.

[lancernexttime]

[oh. you]

Didn't I kill you before?

Probably that Chaldea place they were talking about. Hopefully they're all right, temporary contract, but still.

[unknowntodeath]

In your dreams, maybe.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Which Holy Grail war are you from, clearly not Lancer?

[lancernexttime]

Fuyuki City, 2004.

It went a bit crazy that year.

[unknowntodeath]

We're from the fifth war. Sounds like Fuyuki City is cursed with the War.

[lancernexttime]

Maybe.

This one was different.

Our Masters disappeared, Saber took over.

[unknowntodeath]

What do you mean by 'took over'?

[lancernexttime]

She was in control.

Of herself, and Archer.

Lancer was... well, herself.

[unknowntodeath]

Rather close to what we had going on with Caster and Assassin in our war. She summoned Assassin and used him like she wanted.


So did you win, Lancer-dressed-up-as-Caster?

[lancernexttime]

Technically, yes. I delivered the final blow to Saber.

But the Master and Demi-Servant who arrived at the end kept her occupied while I took out her Archer.

[unknowntodeath]

Demi-Servant?

[Now this plot is thickening.]

[lancernexttime]

Yes. A "Shielder".

A woman of Chaldea who fused with a Servant on the brink of death.

[unknowntodeath]

Sounds like a bloody mess.

[greedyvixen]

[Two things? This is public and that is possibly a bad thing when Rin can hear that. Timeline bullshit or whatever, this is more important!!]

And stay away from killing MY Archer!!!

[ okay Rin. ]

[lancernexttime]

[You interrupting child.]

It wasn't your Archer.

Unless he's the corrupted one being controlled by Saber.

[greedyvixen]

[you're welcome. ... Also wow more timelines bullshit, how very unsurprising.]

Well the one who you greeted with 'didn't I kill you already' is mine, so don't try to repeat the same here to that twisted jerk or you'll get to deal with me.

That corruption thing didn't happen where we are from and I sure as hell am not going to let that or other weird stuff from your place to happen there before my war is over either.

[lancernexttime]

Look kid. I won't hurt him, or you, if he doesn't go after me. Seems like the war's off here.

From what I could gather from my temporary Master, that war was going to lead to some bad things, so I'd appreciate you not.

[greedyvixen]

He won't go after you, we're not interested in continuing the war here. [...Well, in most cases anyway, not sure she'd say the same if the Caster from her time appeared.]


It sounds like it sure wouldn't lead to anything good and I'm not interested in winning that way.

[lancernexttime]

Deal. [Call on him if you want help if that happens. Even if he isn't a 'legit' Servant.]

The end of humanity is what I heard.

[greedyvixen]

Good. [Oh yes, she'd call him.]

I think I tolerate humanity just enough to let it stay the way it is and do something different instead.
