[video/canon update]

[answerer_sword]

[When Bazett appears on the video, she is pale and seems to be biting back the desire to shake, cry, or do both at the same time. Her suit is noticeably torn and in spots, covered with blood. One of her hands clutches a card. She stares into the screen for a long time before speaking.]

L-Lancer. I am...sorry.

[She knows that the Lancer card that she had beaten back into its card form is not, in fact, the same Lancer as the one over the community. That had been corrupted thing with no mind to call its own. But it had the same face and the same voice. It was still some form of Lancer.]

[And she had killed him. For the sake of her mission, she killed a copy of her hero.]

Please forgive me.

[She bows her head. She knows that this apology will probably mean nothing to Lancer. Nevertheless, she still feels compelled to apologize.]

[As she reaches to shut the feed off, having finished with her apology, she notices that she in fact has the wrong privacy settings on the video. What little color remains in her face quickly drains out at this.]

...As for the rest of you, forgive me for making you listen to this.

[She quickly turns the feed off.]



[ooc: Bazett will answer with texts in response to any questions.]

[spiritually]

Bazett? Are you okay?

[ There's an obvious concern in his voice, almost panicky. They may not speak super often but he does consider her a friend, so seeing something like this... ] What happened?

Sensei has some sake in the closet if you want some. He doesn't need it all anyway.

[ And Natsume knows where at least two sake springs are so it's not like he'd be too out of luck if he gave it away. ]

[ .. "Lancer"..? Is she talking about the guy on here, the one she's talked to plenty of times..? ]

H.. hey, what did you do..?! What happened?! You can't just say "sorry" and then not explain why!

text

[answerer_sword]

it does not concern you. the lancer on this community is fine.

[selfished]

So what, ya can't just show stuff on here and then turn around and say "it doesn't concern you" or whatever! I know that's what adults do but it's just dumb and wrong! [ She huffs. ]

Come on, out with it!

[answerer_sword]

i fought him. the one in my world. that is what happened.

[selfished]

.. Why would you fight him? [ She's not mad. Mostly since it's not the one she knows, so then it's fine - not like she cares about some other one she doesn't even know. But still, thinking of it.. ] He's such a nice guy, not like there'd be a reason unless it's a spar!

[battler can't help but feel a little confused, he's talked to bazett before about these so called cards, but even so...]

Want to talk about it? Might help.

text

[answerer_sword]

i have gotten the offer from someone else already. but thank you for offering. i am getting some shots of whiskey. i think i can get by.

[chestboard]

Oh, is that so? Don't just say that to me and then not offer me any. Let's just get drunk, how's that sound?

[answerer_sword]

i do not know about drunk but drinking enough to be distracted sounds like an attractive option. com over. we can drink together

-> action;

[chestboard]

[well either way, battler is just feeling overly down and could use someone else right now as well, and maybe trying to cheer her up will in turn help him as well? who knows.

in due time he arrives in her world, walking towards her, his cape ditched and he's ready for a good time.]

Yo! I rushed right over, no time like the present, right? Yeah that's right, totally right!
