Why did you make this account if you're still not even sure you're going to use me?

...And if you do decide to play me, shouldn't finding a game be your first priority? It's pointless to pick a canon point if you're not even going to put me anywhere.

At least you decided which of the three routes you're taking me from.

Well, he has this huge cape, so maybe he's a she. But I think he's a man.

[apprenticemage]

Lancer... you know there's no point in warning me about someone from your universe when they're completely different in my universe right?

My Rider was already taken out by Saber.

[puppy_lancer]

Was this before or after or while he got in a big fight with Caster?

[apprenticemage]

Like I said, this is my Rider we're talking about. She's a girl, and I don't know whether or not she fought Caster. What I do know is that she was obliterated by Saber's Noble Phantasm, and I haven't seen her since.

[puppy_lancer]

...Your world is really different. Are we even talking about the same Fuyuki here?

[apprenticemage]

Yes. Fuyuki City, Japan.

[puppy_lancer]

[It's more than a little hard to believe that the same Grail War could be so different across two parallel universes.]

You know, sometimes I wonder if I'm the one who's still myself?

[Well, sort of, at least.]

What about your Archer? Did the golden douche get sex changed too?

[apprenticemage]

...No. Gilgamesh still exists... but there's another Archer.

[ He's a douche too. ]

[puppy_lancer]

Wait, you mean someone up and summoned an eighth Servant? How the hell does that work?

[apprenticemage]

From what I understand, he stayed around from the previous war somehow.

[puppy_lancer]

I've never heard of that happening. That guy must've cheated. All I know is that there was only one Archer back where I'm from.

[Gilgamesh would have thrown a tizzy if there was someone who had the audacity to actually share his class.]

[apprenticemage]

Well, he's gone now and not coming back. Saber took care of him.

[puppy_lancer]

From the way your Saber cut down all those Servants...you probably won the Holy Grail, didn't you? What wish did you make? Or did you realize that it was dirtier than a public toilet?

[apprenticemage]

I won, yes... but I didn't make use of the wish. I had the Grail destroyed to prevent this disaster from repeating itself.

And here, Lancer shatters the rules of reality

[puppy_lancer]

You're a pretty smart kid.

[Have a headpat.]

Gonna head to bed for tonight. Will reply when I get home tomorrow! o/

[apprenticemage]

[ Calling Shirou smart...

What's next, Lancer, dividing by zero? ]

I did what I had to do. I couldn't let more innocent people die.

Mm, have a nice sleep!

[puppy_lancer]

[In his opinion, not activating big hole in the sky spewing black mud everywhere on the off-chance it grants you a wish is the smart choice.]

Man, you sound almost like Saber. Keep it up and you might end up as a hero someday. Hopefully you won't be as stiff as he is.

Re: Mm, have a nice sleep!

[apprenticemage]

That's my goal. To follow in my father's footsteps, I inherited his dream and intend to become a hero of justice.

[ Oh Lancer, if only you'd met EMIYA Archer... ]

[puppy_lancer]

[Spoilers: he would think the guy was a douche.]

I didn't know anyone could have that sort of dream in this day and age.

[Even back in his day, actual heroes were rare.]

[apprenticemage]

[ That's the normal opinion of him. ]

I've come to understand that it's not going to be an easy goal... I'm going to meet many challenges and hardships along the way... But if I can smile and be as happy as my father looked on the day he saved me, it will all be worth it.

[puppy_lancer]

That's the spirit!

[He slaps the boy on the back.]

Go ahead and do what you want, and never regret anything!

[Of course, there is a learning curve involved even when it comes to being a hero. While at the end of his life, Lancer had not exacly learned everything that EMIYA had learned (different definitions of "hero" and all), he had realized that being a hero could be hard, and that the world was an unreasonable place.]

[Unfortunately, this only applied to his older personality. This Lancer still had something of the idealistic idiot to him.]

[apprenticemage]

[ 'I have no regrets, this is the only path.'

Wait, wrong route. ]

To tell you the truth, I never expected to have this sort of conversation with Lancer...

[puppy_lancer]

Huh? Why not?

[apprenticemage]

Would you expect to speak on friendly terms with someone who tried to kill you, twice?

[puppy_lancer]

Of course. As long as we're not killing each other a third time. And even then, who knows?

[Different set of standards right there.]
