[Video...on purpose this time]

[chuanifrinn]

Unlike last time, this time I have control over this thing. Wild, isn't it?

So you get a video on purpose...isn't that the most fortuitous thing?

Actually I'm a little reluctant to show you this because it's embarrassing and I don't embarrass easy...but it's also been a long time since I've laughed so hard. Being able to laugh is important, I think it outweighs embarrassment so I'll go ahead and show you...

...Just remember I'm much better looking than the kid in this video. Don't forget that. It's very, very important that you remember that. I was so damn good looking in my day they wanted me to get married out of fear for their own wives and daughters. So devastatingly handsome...

If we understand that then here:

Wow. The animation from hundreds of years ago really wasn't all its cracked up to be. [ Disney aside. even in the 2300s they still love Disney. ]

... so, uh... you're Cu Chulainn, huh?

[ one thing to be told the Hound of Ulster is hanging out on the community, quite another to finally start a conversation with him. over a pretty ridiculous video. what do. ]

[regalbearing]

... I suddenly find myself fearing what may have been done with my own legend.

[chuanifrinn]

I think it gets the message across, but they leave out the good stuff.

You should check and see, it's kind of funny if you can get past how horrible they make you look.

[chuanifrinn]

It's actually pretty novel to me, ironic huh? I'm still way behind the times...but I agree, they could have done a better job on me at least. [He's a hero, he deserves their best efforts, but a laugh is still a laugh.]

Oh? You've heard of me...well outside of this video I'm going to assume? I don't know if I should be surprised...I think I am just a little. [It's normal for a hero to be known in their own world, but on the community it's still a shock sometimes.] D'ya have a name?

[croibhristeoir]

What did I just watch.

[selfished]

Man, that kid isn't just bad looking, he's sorta fat too! [ YOU'RE THE LAST PERSON QUALIFIED TO TALK ABOUT THAT, KYOUKO..

But she's amused either way. In fact, she's laughing her ass off at the video. ]

[chuanifrinn]

Just keep in mind how good looking I really am and it's actually very funny. [He can laugh at himself, seriously.]

[chuanifrinn]

Just tell me you chuckled a little.

[croibhristeoir]

Only due to being at a complete loss for what else to do.

Please tell me no one's done this for me.

[chuanifrinn]

Oh...the grandpa man did say your name...I have a mini series of five videos and you get an honorable mention after my dramatic death scene...

...I'm gonna go look. Right. Now!

[croibhristeoir]

Nowaitdon't--

1/2

[chuanifrinn]

[And the bastard is gone so live in fear.]

[chuanifrinn]

[He returns after several minutes of searching.]

NOOOOOOOOOO! Damn it! Grandpa didn't continue to your story! He was just teasing me the old badgering coot!

[This is most distressing.]

I wanted another story...

[croibhristeoir]

[Oh thank one or several gods. Lancer actually slumped over the table in relief.]

I don't think I have been quite this grateful in a long time.

[chuanifrinn]

You never know, Diarmuid of the Love Spot, you might get your own mini series eventually...told to us by grandpa. I'm still optimistic.

[croibhristeoir]

Have I ever mentioned how I dislike that charming little title? I would be much happier simply being a lesser-known knight and leaving it at that.

[chuanifrinn]

That's probably what the title of your miniseries is going to be called or Diarmuid O'Dyna. Spotty has a very soft place in my heart personally.

Are you kidding? You've got to be in the...what...top five most famous mythological heroes in Irish mythology. Lesser-known...fuu...

[croibhristeoir]

I don't like Spotty either, thank you very much.

Top fi--come on, now you're being ridiculous!

[chuanifrinn]

I promise to keep it fondly to myself.

What I do know for certain is that you're a major player in the Fenian Cycle...and you're a Lancer.

I guess it's my opinion that you hold a very special place in Irish mythology and hearts.

[croibhristeoir]

Of all the nicknames I've had, I suppose there have been worse. [Sigh.] You're out of your mind, or just trying to flatter me. I'm sure I could name ten people sure to be better known than myself.

[Sure enough, he starts counting them off on one hand.]

There's you, Oscar, Oisín, Fionn...er...

[And he seems stuck on five, opening his mouth to speak with nothing coming out.]

...That doesn't mean anything.

[Are you pouting because you're an idiot, Derry?]

[chuanifrinn]

I'll only use it on special occasions. Promise.

[Cu's patient, he'll wait...until the pouting starts.]

Me, Oscar, Oisín, Fionn...Diarmuid...

[Top five. Guess who's grinning like the Cheshire cat.]

It means that there are paintings, statues, and landmarks...and hell...Scotland acknowledges you. The entire Clan Campbell, have you seen their crest?

[croibhristeoir]

...Campbell?

[Diarmuid looked confused at that, tilting his head slightly--apparently he really didn't know what the other Lancer meant.]

[chuanifrinn]

Clan Campbell of Scotland, they have a boar head on their family Crest. I don't know how that makes you feel, but it's their nod to you, it's how they remember and honor you. I think it's pretty amazing, even though we existed long before that...some things can still echo.

[croibhristeoir]

I...they what? I don't understand. Why would anyone... What have I done that is apparently so special and worthy of acknowledgement from anyone?

[chuanifrinn]

I could ask the same thing about myself, what have we really done...I'm not sure. I can tell you that there's a lot I'm not proud of, but to be kept alive somehow. I don't know.
