Video 001 | Lancer of Black

[erasemymyth]

[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.]

Lancer... of Black? If you will forgive me for saying so, that's an unusual name.

It's good to meet you, Master Lancer.. then? [ She sounds unsure, but, she does bow her head to the camera. ]

I am called Kitsuno. If I may be so bold... what is it that you did back in your own land?

[erasemymyth]

[Lancer Dracula? Too obvious a title if he's going to be sticking with Lancer anyways.]

Just Lancer is fine.

[Very informal but more fitting his duties. Gives a slight bow of his head in return to her respectful greeting.]

It is a pleasure, Lady Kitsuno.

I was brought in to lead others defending a land I once called home against powerful enemies. I was taking part in a counter attack when I arrived here.

[Close enough without giving out too many details or that he was losing that counter attack.]

[ She hasn't any qualms being addressed with a title- she is a princess, after all, though she listens curiously before her gaze softens. ]

So... you're a warrior, then? You have a regal bearing, so I'd assumed you were nobility as well.

[ She gives a sheepish smile. ]

I have much to learn. Where was your homeland, then?

[erasemymyth]

[She has the right way of it. He was summoned as a warrior and king.

He avoids the exact detail of where he's from though by offering a slightly more vague answer.]

Romania. Though it has been long since I ruled there the people in some areas still remember me.

[Which is where his strength lies as well but he's going to make due here.]

If it is not too bold to ask, what lands do you call home?

[foxtouched]

Ro..mania...

[ She sounds off the foreign name, before smiling. ]

It's not bold at all- I come from a land called Sawa of the Prism Mists. From my understanding, the land around us is called Nihon... or, Japan, as I have come to learn.

[ She's from a different existence, really. ]

Have you heard of it, Master Lancer? [ Give her a bit, she's not used to talking without titles... ]

[erasemymyth]

I have heard of Japan. It is a land to the east, though further than I have traveled in life.

[He's unsure about the rest but technically he comes from the Throne of Heroes outside of both time and space. Still, Romania is his home and where his legend is strongest.]

I suppose I travel more now than I ever would have even had my life been more leisurely.
