[If Servants could get headaches, Lancer felt one starting. More than likely his imagination, he knew--he really did not want to be the one to deliver the news but there was little choice. He was dressed in human clothes once again, including the glasses he didn't actually need. Diarmuid at least took those off as he spoke, folding them and putting them in his shirt pocket.]

It would seem Issei Ryudo can no longer access the community. Don't worry...he's still here and perfectly fine. I know he has a number of friends here, and I wanted to let all of them know they don't need to worry. As his Servant I will protect him at any cost.

This changes nothing. My Master's temple is and shall remain a safe haven for those in need of it. This place and all those who should reside within it are under the protection of a Knight of Fianna. Please do not hesitate to come here if dire circumstances leave you with no other alternative.

[A while later, after taking a few things into consideration and figuring out how filters worked Lancer managed to send an anonymous text--granted, if someone so much as sneezed they could probably hack it. Damned technology.]

I'm sorry to trouble anyone, but I have a question.

What would you do if your purpose in life was rendered mostly irrelevant?

When your purpose in life is gone, you just have to find a new one.

[croibhristeoir]

I've considered that, but I worry it's far easier said than done.

[text, but in response to the video]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Thank you.

[croibhristeoir]

It is the least that I could do.

[stillneedawish]

Issei-san's lost access? Oh... well, thank you for letting us all know, Diarmuid-san.

[croibhristeoir]

It is no problem, Madoka. I know several people would want to know.

[aquaticrush]

I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.

[croibhristeoir]

This is no fault of yours, Retasu. Or of any other, for that matter.

[croibhristeoir]

My expertise lies only in fighting, and with the situation I am in now, that will not be necessary for the foreseeable future.

[chuanifrinn]

Haaah?

But not being able to access the community doesn't mean he's inaccessible, does it? We were just getting to know each other.

[In other words, pestering the kid was getting to be a lot of fun]

I suppose it's good if he's okay...what about you though?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

I'm fine. I'm still here, we're still contracted, and as far as my well-being goes that is all that matters to me.

you either fade away or find another purpose.

[croibhristeoir]

What if I don't really know where to start?

[glass_secret]

It seems like several people have gone missing from the community.

[croibhristeoir]

Is that so? I'm afraid I'd not noticed.

[the_visitor]

Find a new purpose, of course.

[croibhristeoir]

How would one do that?

[heavenlyhome]

I'm glad he's all right. I had wondered why he has not been around so much. Keeping busy, perhaps, but not, well. You are looking after each other, aren't you?

[croibhristeoir]

Of course. He is my Master and I will guard his life with my own.

[makewayforroze]

I'm sorry to hear he won't be able to come anymore but I'm glad the two of you still have one another.

[Unhacked cause what is technology. She doesn't even realize it's the same entry]

You keep going until you find another one.

[croibhristeoir]

As am I. If the community had decided to erase his memories or even break our contract, I would be in a great deal of trouble.

[Lancer, she might notice if your responses come at the same time. You idiot.]

How does one do that exactly?

permavid

[createswithink]

He... can't? But, you're still there with him and he knows about all of us, right?

[croibhristeoir]

That does seem to be the case, yes.

[madeitsquare]

Issei? Really?

[croibhristeoir]

Really.
