Video 001 | Lancer of Black
[Now that the nasty business of Moonblessings and transformations are done, Lancer's ready to talk more publicly. So he appears on video to ask this question rather than texting this evening. The pale, dark eyed man greets the camera with a glass of dark red wine and a desire for distractions.]
This place, or the moons above, seem hell bent on drawing out compulsions we never even had.
[Not going to think on that too hard. Lancer just finishes the glass of red wine he's holding.]
Please humor me if you are not from this world and tell me what you used to indulge in back home. Are you still drawn to it here? Can it even be found here?
Do the moons increase that for you or has it all changed now?
[A lot of questions but he really doesn't plan to investigate this too much. He just wants to hear what other people do for fun.]

If one's will is strong enough and conviction is unwavering I do not see any challenge that is insurmountable.
[Of course he cheated it thus far by avoiding civilization during it and letting less distractions thwart his attempts to reign in what he has become. Trees don't bleed.]
Video
[She'd have taken down the entire thirteen by herself if that was all it took.]
Video
I suppose I see it more as a matter of staying true to who I am. Accepting defeat before I am dead is not something I can tolerate.
[Because the alternative leads to something worse.]
Video
[Suddenly, she finds herself thinking that maybe she was wrong about what made him so upset.]
Video
[The agitation does rise to his pale features but he lets it fade just as quickly.]
I have fought against such things longer than I have had to suffer these moons. I will be it's better here as well.
Video
This... isn't the usual thing the moons are encouraging, is it?
Video
[He's not really the type of Servant to seek a comprehensive understanding of such. Though he's going to try a little harder in the future.]
I will assert my dominance over it and not bow to the whims of heavenly bodies.
Video
[Yep, okay, her initial assumption was very much wrong. That'll teach her to jump to conclusions!]
Yeah, I... very much support resisting that. Do you have ways you can let some of the pressure off, maybe? Sparring partners or something?
Video
[Anyone who bleeds is probably a mistake to let out steam with. At least while he's fighting this.]
no subject
[She envisions someone in the throes of Sanguis’s bloodlust in a full-on fight, and shudders.]
Well, I hope your plan keeps working, for everyone’s sake.
no subject
[That could change! He barely knows them all.]
Until then I will save my vices for when the moons are more agreeable.
no subject
I hope things don’t push on that urge too much. Moon aside.
no subject
[He's pretty sure everyone is either okay with, or at least not as angry about, the whole Moonblessing thing as he is. So it is probably just him. That doesn't make it any better.]
no subject
[Since an actual good day sounds unlikely.]
