Something's wrong. Something's very wrong here.

[Unusually, Lancer seems...annoyed. The calm and collected Servant in civilian clothes was tapping his fingers impatiently against the table and even scowling faintly as he thought things over.]

[Something was, as he'd said, very wrong. He was restless to an extreme degree, impatient, and irritated with just about everything at the moment. But instead of focusing on the larger picture of what could have caused the change of heart, Diarmuid overlooked that problem completely and focused instead on what he was restless over.]

[That problem was obvious, wasn't it? He was a Servant, a knight, yet his skill and power in combat was being left ignored and unused. It was a travesty to have one of the Fianna simply left out of a fight for so long. Fighting was in his nature, it was all he knew and what he excelled at. How could he just remain living a normal human life when there was a massive community full of worthy opponents just waiting for a challenge? Diarmuid didn't know or care why his outlook had taken a sharp turn into recklessness and he didn't care. All that mattered was that he wanted, needed to find a worthy adversary like he needed to breathe. Every part of him was screaming for a fight, and he couldn't ignore it any longer.]

[He stood up abruptly with an intense spark blazing in golden eyes, ironclad determination clear in every small movement. In a flash of magical energy, his armor materialized in place of the ordinary clothes and a crimson lance appeared in his hand.]

...I want to fight one of you. I'll accept a simple sparring match if you wish, I don't care. I just need to fight someone.


[ooc: Fair warning--the Nasuverse is incredibly broken with powerlevels. If anyone takes him up on the offer? He's several times faster than any human, the lance cancels out magic and things summoned with magic, and he can take a hit and keep on comin' like nobody's business. In short: how about some nice nonfatal sparring? /sob gdit Nasu

Thanks a lot, murderhound.]

What happened?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Nothing happened. That's the main problem.

[harlol]

Umm... you got bored?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Incredibly so. I just want a good fight out of someone, that's all.

If it's a fight you want, I can give you one! That is, if you think you can stand a chance against me!

[croibhristeoir]

Oh, I'm absolutely certain I could. You would be worried less about me and more about yourself.

[goddamnshit]

I'm immortal! I've got absolutely nothing to worry about!

[believemyvoice]

I think I'll pass. I like my face how it is.

[croibhristeoir]

Ah, that's a shame. Very well.

[believemyvoice]

You seem like you're in rare form today.

[chuanifrinn]

You too, eh?

[This isn't a coincidence, Lancer is suppressing his battle rage which is hard after being ordered out of a fight...his suppression is probably what's building up inside of his bro right now.]

You got it good though, you don't have a bastard of a master who keeps pulling you out right in the middle of a fight.

[croibhristeoir]

I care for my Master dearly, but as far as combat goes? This is even worse. I haven't had a decent match since...

[He paused for a few short seconds, considering it.]

...Wait a minute, I haven't had a good fight since the damned Fourth War started! What the hell am I doing?

video

[chuanifrinn]

Even worse is not having a proper fight at all. My master's aware that I hates his guts, probably why he goes out of his way to keep holding me back...it makes me wonder why I was summoned in the first place if all I am is useless anyway...

...Death, at least, would be something. Beats getting rusty...I feel like a felled log growing moss.

Get over here, Lancer. If I sit here much longer, I"m going to keel over and die. I'll just have to hope that some people can run the tower for five minutes while I'm gone!

[He's using italics. That's a warning sign in itself.]

audio --> action

[croibhristeoir]

I'll be right there.

[wannafightkefkawannafightkefkawannafightkefka--okay he's on his way]

[sandinmyboots]

Bring it, pretty boy!

[Kefka's waiting on the roof of the Tower. His six wings are out and - ok, he still looks like shit, but the wings help distract from that, and he's excited enough to be bouncing.]

How you want to do this?

[ginrouken]

... I suppose I could go for a round or two. Been a while since I fought anyone that wasn't Kouga or a Horror.

[croibhristeoir]

What kind of weaponry do you prefer?

[ginrouken]

I use twin shortswords, so whatever works best for you.

[No point mentioning the armor since he can't actually summon it against a non-Horror in the first place, so that was a moot point.]

/replies to things late due to beind distracted all day

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Eh, I've been getting rusty lately with the Metal Heads being so quiet. Sure, I could go for a fight.

No problem. <3

[croibhristeoir]

Excellent. Where should I meet you, then?

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Hmm. Well, there's an arena I can get to pretty easily... but that might draw a crowd. But there are plenty of isolated places around if you want to avoid that. Any preferences?

[makewayforroze]

I didn't think you enjoyed the fighting?

[croibhristeoir]

No, that's not entirely accurate. I love fighting--it's what I've done all my life. There's nothing better than testing my skills against a worthwhile opponent.

[makewayforroze]

Who are you going to fight?
