☘ 006; [video/action for Violet]

[solas_ion]

[Three guesses as to who was out of money. Fortunately for Lancer, there was a convenient cafe in Violet City he could work at. Less fortunate was the troublemaking Venonat that enjoyed playing with his Pokegear. Congratulations, 'Kanra', even your eggs are trolls.]

[So today on the network, one could see a heroic spirit in a suit giving a bright smile to every passing cute girl. Same story, different era. The Venonat holding the camera hops around for a bit--possibly having gotten into some coffee--before the video cuts off.]

[A few hours later once his shift had ended, Lancer sent out a couple messages. Look at that, he managed to get the filters working.]

Hey. I have a question for you.

private to Rin and Shirou
Listen, both of you--there's something I want to talk to you about.

I'm here. What is it you want to talk about?

[Video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I'll give you the short version. There's a kid running around here now, about your age. All I wanted to say was that if you talk to him, try to give him a hand. Poor bastard's going through one hell of a culture shock.

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Is he a friend of yours or something?

[Video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

...actually, he's family. His name's Connla, not that I expect him to tell anyone.

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...Oh wow. That's gotta be awkward.

[Video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

More than you think, depending on how well you know the story.

If nothing else, he wasn't summoned like I was--poor kid doesn't have a damn idea about your modern technology.

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Not too well. But I know about the curse Gae Bolg bestows to its wielder, so I have a general idea how it turned out.

So that's why you're getting other people to help?

[Video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, let's just say we didn't meet or separate on great terms and leave it at that.

Just you and Rin. I figured you were the only two that knew who I am so I wouldn't have to be so damn cryptic. ...and honestly, I don't have the slightest idea what to do about the whole thing.

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a complicated situation, yeah...

What does he look like?

[video]

[zelretch.livejournal.com]

...What?

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Rin. You want to help me out with something?

[video]

[zelretch.livejournal.com]

Depends what that something is.

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

There's this kid that just showed up here not too long ago. About your age, blond with an Irish accent.

All I'm asking is that you try and help him out if you should talk to him. He's dealing with some nasty culture shock, I think you'd call it.

[video]

[zelretch.livejournal.com]

Hmm? Friend of yours?

...I'll see what I can do. No promises, though, if he winds up being an idiot.

Well, can I get a name for him, at least?

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

...Something like that. I can at least assure you he's no idiot.

He most likely won't tell you his name even if you ask--long story there. But it's Connla.

[video]

[zelretch.livejournal.com]

Good thing. I suppose I'll find out myself if he is or isn't, anyway.

--Connla. I know I've heard that name before in relation to Irish mythology...

Well, it's not like there are all that many Irishmen here, anyway. So he should be easy to pick out, right?

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you have, but I'll save you the trouble of figuring it out. He's my kid...or at least he was.

Presumably he'll be the only one wondering what all your human technology is supposed to do, so I'll say yes.

Go on.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

This is probably a ridiculous question, but I'm going to ask anyway. Let's say you and Shirou last saw each other on really miserable circumstances before both of you got here.

If that was the case, how would you deal with him?

video;

[graildilf.livejournal.com]

I would deal with him the same way I always did. Whatever happened won't change how I feel.

video;

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

And if he was to hate you for whatever reason? You would still approach him the same way?

video;

[graildilf.livejournal.com]

It would be my duty as a father to give Shirou even a bit of stability.

video;

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

...right, that makes sense.

video;

[graildilf.livejournal.com]

Why do you ask? I'm not exactly a model father.

video;

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Neither am I--that's the problem. It turns out Johto saw fit to bring my son here, and we didn't last meet on fantastic terms.
