WHO: Caster Cu & Open
WHERE: Network
WHEN: January 15
WHAT: A hello to everyone~
WARNINGS: Does CasCu need one yet? I dunno.

[A man in a blue hood appears on the screen, seemingly sitting in a park somewhere. If anyone's paying attention, the hand without the phone is spinning a wooden staff while he records.]

I'm sure everyone's aware that something is up in this place.

Anyone with knowledge of Chaldeas or the Clock Tower, I'd like to talk to you.

Get in touch~

[There were many, many things worrying here, for so short a message. The most pressing was the combination of something Waver recognized with something he didn't--what the hell was Chaldeas? He'd never so much as heard the name before, but spoken by someone unmistakably some kind of mage in tandem with the words 'Clock Tower'...]

[Something was very, very wrong.]

I am Lord El-Melloi II of the Department of Modern Magecraft. [His words were spoken with the abrupt tone of serious professionalism, eyes behind dark lenses focused sharply. Who was this, and what was he talking about?]

What involvement do you have with the Clock Tower?

[lancernexttime]

Lord El-Melloi. Hmm, a name I haven't heard before. [And so serious, wow.]

My involvement is with Chaldeas, but I figured those with connections with the Clock Tower would work too.

Servant: Caster, at your service.

[fionnuisce]

The second. 'Professor' is fine.

[But the correction was swiftly forgotten with the class name, which was about when Waver lost all color in his face.]

...You're-

[Common sense told him this wasn't likely to be the only Caster he had ever been (passably) familiar with. This one didn't--at a glance--seem like the sort to-]

[He quickly cut off that line of thought before he got lost in a dark memory, shaking his head.]

From which war. When.

[lancernexttime]

Fine Fine, Professor. [You can hear the handwave in his voice.]

Fuyuki. But one that went a little crazy and became a Singularity. The humans passed and just us Servants were left, before the Chaldean Master arrived.

[fionnuisce]

That doesn't--there's been four of the damn things, 'Fuyuki', doesn't narrow it-

[Deep breath.]

This conversation might be better served in person. [he said, quietly terrified of someone who could probably blow his head off at a thought.]

sort of here but not

[hoshikiri]

[Aggro target sfx.]

[lancernexttime]

Yeah. And I think I got your 'Professor'.

[drewthetower]

[lancernexttime]

What did he say? Lord El-Melloi....The second.

[drewthetower]

[Was Cu expecting a skeleton? Probably not, but one responds anyway. The hood would perhaps give a grim reaper vibe if it weren't for the fact that it's got cat ears and a cute little face on it.]

Ah, you are a fellow visitor from afar then. I have no knowledge of those things, but I welcome you nonetheless.

[lancernexttime]

[Well, not here, but this wouldn't be abnormal for him. He does know King Hassan. And many other 'strange looking' servants.]

Well, thank you! What brings a guy like you to a place like this?

[end_singer]

[Ah yes, that means the known skeleton grampa count is at two now.]

Damage to the fabric of this world, unfortunately. It's drawn many of us through. Still, tis not so terrible a place to spend time until the matter is righted.

[lancernexttime]

[That's two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but is still more than normal.]

I see.

What kind of damage, do you know?

[end_singer]

Ah... One of the more scholarly minded individuals would be better to ask for details. All I truly know is that attempts to resurrect the dead have consequences, and attempting to do so with a world was always doomed to have greater consequences than any one being could truly predict.

I do feel that it will be solved before things become truly dire, however. I imagine I would have been asked to help clean up after the party if that were the case, metaphorically speaking.

[psychonductor]

woah!!! can you do any tricks with that??

[with nothing of relevance to the contents of the video, they only care about the staff twirling.]

[lancernexttime]

[He stops spinning it for a moment.]

What kinda tricks are you looking for?

[psychonductor]

🤷 something cool, i guess. like a cheerleader?

[lancernexttime]

[He pauses in the video for a second before stopping to spin it around his hands multiple times, getting faster as he goes.]

I'm used to something pointier. A lance, you know.
