A Thousand Ways To Say "I'm Sorry."

Characters: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (Zero Lancer), the list of people he feels he has to apologize to after the experiment, and anyone else who runs into him around the tower looking quite a bit worse for the wear...
Setting: Anywhere in the tower
Format: Whatever you want to use. I will match.
Summary: After the experiment, Diarmuid finally gets around to dropping off a bunch of letters to the people he feels he needs to apologize to. He is also spending too much time fighting monsters and trying to make sure everyone in the tower is safe. Even for a servant, he's starting to not look so go. Stop him? Be saved by him? Save him?
Warnings: Angst? Derpiness? Updated to add:  Clowns!  Beware the clowns...  Oh and blood, violence and death.  Yep, both Lancers are going to bite it in here...
Note: The letters may be ignored or responded to as the character's muns see fit. I know not every character is going to care that Diarmuid feels like he needs to apologize. He's going to do it anyway cause that's how he is.


[Maybe it's because Diarmuid's old-fashioned or maybe it's just because he wants to see the letters delivered to a place that he knows the recipients will find them, but despite the new mail system, today many people within the tower will find a note or small gift sitting on their bed when they next stop by their room. If they don't spend much time in their room, they will instead find the note waiting for them in whatever place they spend the most time.]

Catarina:

Catarina's note is folded into the shape of a rose. The outside 'petals' have even been tinted red. Once unfolded, the note simply reads:

Lady, I hope your necklace turned up safely after the experiment ended.

--Diarmuid


Zelda:

Lady, we met under...non-ideal circumstances. I hope that our future encounters will be far more pleasant. If you need another warrior in the fight against those who keep us here and you are willing to trust me after everything, my blade is yours.

--Diarmuid Ua Duibhne


Mami:

Mami's note is folded into the shape of a rose with its 'petals' tinted yellow. Beside the note will be the small jar of tea he got from Lambdadelta. It's suppose to taste like Earl Gray with rose petals and white chocolate, but he hasn't tried it to find out accurate that description is.

Mami, I don't know how to begin to apologize to you for what I have done. Please take this gift as a small sign of how sorry I am. I will understand if you don't wish to speak with me again. However, I would like to try and continue to make things up to you. May I have that chance?

--Diarmuid


Hidetoshi:

If you want, I can teach you how to skin a deer...

--Diarmuid Ua Duibhne


Rin:

Rin's note is folded into the shape of a rose. Its 'petals' are red, though the edges have been blackened.

Lady, may we talk? I have much to say to you.

--Diarmuid


Shotaro:

Are you all right? I never wanted to hurt you. Tell me how to make it up to you.

--Diarmuid Ua Duibhne


Suzaku:

Since they never exchanged names, it takes a long time for Diarmuid to track down Suzaku, but his determination finally wins out.

We...need to talk. I was unforgivably rude to you, though I have every reason to believe the things you told me about your past were true.

You cannot become like I did. I won't allow it.

--Diarmuid Ua Duibhne


The Endless Witch:

I have not forgotten that I owe you a favor...

--Diarmuid Ua Duibhne


Aleph:

It takes a while to track down who Aleph is since they never exchanged names, but fortunately for Diarmuid, there aren't a lot of demon summoners in the tower.

We should hunt them again soon...

--Diarmuid Ua Duibhne


[After delivering his notes, Diarmuid returns to what he has been busying himself with ever since the experiment ended--making sure everyone is safe from the monsters and floors in the tower. With all the new floors that have just shown up, he has plenty of places to be in too. The problem is, he is taking no time to rest and not eating. While servants really don't need to eat or sleep, with as much energy as he is expending fighting monsters day and night, he really should be because otherwise, it's only going to be a matter of time before he runs into something he can't handle...]

Cleave, Ariadne--!

[A silver-blue woman materalized beside Labrys, surrounded by intricate red glowing threads. Throwing her arms forward, the threads lashed out to strike through the monster that was coming uncomfortably close to Lancer's back.]

Geez, that was too close...[Labrys crossed her arms and shook her head, Ariadne disappearing into nothing.]

Don't worry 'bout it. Anybody's gonna slip up once in a while.

[She uncrossed her arms and walked forward, smiling.]

Sure looks like it, huh? All a' the ones I've seen look kinda crazy. I ain't even gonna dare walk off the staircase for most of 'em.

floor 80 (let's have some dead Lancers)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2013-02-02 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Lancer had never seen a circus before. Thanks to the Grail, he was vaguely aware of the existence of such a form of entertainment, but he had never seen one up close. Therefore, it was obvious that he would be fascinated the show on this floor.]

[A little too fascinated, unfortunately. The clowns had turned their attentions to him and were determined to use him as some sort of training dummy. As a result, he found himself repelling bomb pies and knives thrown with deadly accuracy.]


Tch. Are all clowns this troublesome? And just when the stuff was getting good.

Re: floor 80 (And this is why we can't have nice things...)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2013-02-02 03:25 am (UTC)(link)

[He directs a glare at Diarmuid. Not that he's not grateful for the save, but he could've handled the clowns by himself.]

[...Maybe.]


What about you? Haven't you just gotten close?

blackwitch: (is he the moron who's been)

floor 81

[personal profile] blackwitch 2013-02-02 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ As if she's just going to walk. Nope, the moment she finds out where Lancer is, she just teleports right behind him in a cloud of golden butterflies. At least luckily (or, well, luckily for Diarmuid since she really can handle things by herself in most situations) this isn't a dangerous floor, just another longue, just higher up. ]

He-y. What do you think you're doing, randomly leaving behind letters in people's rooms..? [ She sure saw the one he left for her, apparently. ]
blackwitch: (who's going to miss him)

Of course, of course..! Have you even seen what they can do to people? It's amazing, I could have thought up some of this stuff! Kyahaha, at this rate I'll have to write a note to thank the admins..!

[ But it's noticable that he's back to normal, huh? That's also interesting to her. ]

S-o-, finally decided to change back?

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-02-02 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[The waterfall area seemed like a rather peaceful place to Tohko. She had never been near a waterfall, and since this one seemed pretty peaceful, she had decided to sit near it and relax for a little while.

Of course, that plan quickly ended when a hand shot out of the water and grabbed her foot.]

Gah! Let go of me!

[Despite her struggles, and the stab wounds she gave the mermaids, there were quite a lot of them. Help a book girl not drown? Of course..this means that you'll have deal with the consequences.]

Re: Floor 90

[Tohko was happy when Diarmuid suddenly arrived and stabbed the mermaid that was grabbing her. While she didn't expect Diarmuid to grab her and pull her back so suddenly, she managed to keep a grip on 'Wendy' and keep her balance as he jumped back.

As his words, she shook her head.]

It's alright! Thank you..and I'm fine. Are you alright?

altitonant_emperor: is that the student presidency over there (â™” it's ridiculous plain and simple)

floor 75

[personal profile] altitonant_emperor 2013-02-02 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's taking him awhile to place the name scribbled onto the letter that had somehow found its way onto his pillow when he had been absent from the room. When the name finally clicked into place with a face, it had cleared up the hovering of uncertainty: Lancer. (The other Lancer, not the blue-haired, lazy one. He still found it hard to believe what he had discovered from his recollections of his week as his older self: the information was staggering. Servants, Masters, Cu Chulainn, what it was like to have a persona in the back of your skull, Zionaga spells, an easy kind of friendship with a peer, Nyx, Heroic Spirits.) It was surreal and... sobering to realize that his situation of being trapped in the Tower of souls could last not just dozens of months but decades.

And well, surreal or not, he did have a few things to clean up with Diarmuid. So, once he's read the litter and considered a course of action in response, Hidetoshi figured it would be beneficial to check it out, set off to track down Lancer somewhere in the Tower. Wouldn't hurt to get some exploration of the new floors that been added at the same time, as long as he took care to avoid the monsters.
]
altitonant_emperor: was not expecting that in the slightest (â™” there is torturous electricity in here)

floor 75

[personal profile] altitonant_emperor 2013-02-03 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[The shout takes him by surprise just as he enters the floor, and temporarily deviates his attention from the flash of teeth and claws that was cloaked in the darkness that the shadow of the tower within the this floor of the tower cast. Dark gray look up and see only a emerald smear leaping down from some ridiculous height. His eyes widen.]

—Huh? [And it registers that there's a monster coming at him, and Lancer's putting himself forward as a barricade between them, and—]

—Damnit!

[His knives are out, readying to fight, but he is not his older self; Hidetoshi is devoid of magic or spells or experience beyond that of a couple months. He can hold his own for a couple minutes in actual combat, no more.

The monster lunges with a triumphant howl.

Huh? [ She opened the note with a smile slowly spreading on her face. Mami quickly placed the jar in her room before hurrying out. She had a Lancer to look for. ]

[ She wandered on the 81st floor, looking around with some awe. So this is what they were doing? Hearing a noise, she looked to see who had entered the room. ]

[ Rin's been doing what she can to avoid interacting with others. Being out of her element with her emotions, she's found herself studying all of the new floors with a note in hand. Who would have thought on her first day of having a mailbox she would get a letter?

From him of all people.

It was a bit of trouble to get Archer to leave her alone, but he did help her locate where this "enemy" Servant was. Fortunately the crystals remind her of things long ago and so her mood is elevated just a bit. Having fashioned a throne in the crystals, Rin sits lazily with her head propped up waiting for Lancer to find her. It shouldn't take him long if he follows the crystallized bats flying around her; fully-animated, it was almost as though they were alive.

Sitting in her lap is the folded letter. She got it. Now it's just a matter of whether or not he can find her. ]

[personal profile] angramaintsu 2013-02-04 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's only been one other who knelt before her in that fashion (a knight in red specifically) so it always surprises her whenever Lancer does it. His proper demeanor was strange, often clashing with her own, and in return makes it so she tries to be on her best behavior.

Even if said behavior meant taking over an entire floor and not being driven mad by the crystals around her. Or perhaps she was maddened as a result of the glistening beauty, it's often difficult to tell when it comes to someone who's mood shifts often. ]


You sent for me. [ She counters as she holds up the letter. ] I thought it proper to return your summons.

Wow I am horridly late. Also his room okay?

[personal profile] swordofzero 2013-02-03 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Suzaku read the note with a frown, he still wasn't sure what to take from the spar and the conversation afterwards, he had been much more open than he was with... well anyone nowadays. The conversation had left him feeling strange and quite sad.

He did wonder once he realised that Rolo had been under an experiment, if the man who knew about Geass had been also, but he had no way to tell.

The note at least gave him a name, and he wandered the corridors looking for his room, it took him a little while but soon he was there and knocking softly, hoping he was in.]
swordofzero: (stare)

yay!

[personal profile] swordofzero 2013-02-04 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Suzaku was about to assume no one was in and walk away when the door opened. Suzaku blinked at the man and nodded stepping in to the room silently.] I did, thank you. And there was no need to apologise.

[He doesn't seem to be angry, more sad and ashamed.]
