[Well, someone's experimenting with the locket's video function! Someone... smug. He's smiling about something, though his attention seems less focused on addressing the viewers than it could be at the moment.]

Quite remarkable, isn't it? Ah, I wonder if they have extras they wouldn't mind parting with? I'd love to see what sorts of enchantments are put on these...

[Then he seems to realize now isn't the time to nerd out, and addresses the locket a bit more directly.]

But that's for later --- for now, introductions are in order, I believe. I am Lord Kayneth El-Melloi, Ninth Head of the Archibald House...

[...he trails off a bit, looking a bit like he's forgotten himself again, and then shifts gears a bit.]

Of course, if there's anyone here who recognizes the significance of that, I suppose I'd like to speak to them more directly.

[NAILED IT.]

As for the rest of you... well, if we are to be allies, I wouldn't mind opening up discussion of anything that would make our victory more certain. In particular, I'd like to know about other worlds' magic, both yours and our enemies'. Admittedly, that's almost more for curiosity's sake rather than purely strategic purposes. This is a rare opportunity indeed, and I'm not one to squander it.

[His enthusiasm does fade a bit, though, as he thinks on it more.]

Though, really, I'm certain I'm not the only person here who was brought here while in the middle of something extremely time-sensitive, am I? Have they made arrangements for that sort of thing? I'm aware of legends of how this sort of thing tends to go, and I'd rather not return home to find out that a whole century's passed.

It's apparently very dangerous if you do it by accident or if you do it improperly, which... well, I suspect I can imagine how that goes. Also, even if you do it properly, the first few times are apparently completely exhausting.

Yes, and if there are any conditions to your presence here, given your... odd circumstances as a Servant. I'm suspecting you may just be incarnate, but I suppose it can't hurt to ask them about it.

Hmm...the exhaustion is not something that was mentioned to me either, though it is another important thing. This is certainly not something you would want to first do in the middle of a battlefield by the sound of it!

[Incarnate, hu? That is not something Diarmuid has thought about, but it does make sense. Would he stop being so if he somehow lost his shard? So many questions...]

If we can find answers to even a fraction of the questions we have about the shards, we are going to be very lucky. No wonder this battle has been going on so long.

Precisely. I suspect they have intentions of telling you about it during your actual training, but I suppose it's best to be prepared.

[...that would be bad regardless, but...]

I have to wonder if they're quite as mysterious to the natives as they are to us, really.

I am sure you are right. I kept the conversations short since I had plans on stopping over today.

[Diarmuid contemplates his lord's question a moment before nodding.]

That is a good question. Perhaps we should see about finding some of the natives to talk to. I can ask Grainne to look into the library and see if there is any information there too.

I would hope that no one contemplated just going ahead and doing it on their own, but people don't always do the intelligent thing.

Both of those sound like fine ideas. I'll likely spending some time in the library myself, so I'll be sure to report back with my results.

Power often makes people do foolish things. It is sad, but true.

[Diarmuid bows his head to his lord.]

If I can assist in anyway, just contact me. I will let you get back to your other respondents now. Should I find out anything important, I will let you know.

Indeed, and I will do the same. We have a lot of ground to cover, and I'd like to be caught up to speed as quickly as possible.
