@oncexfutureking @tohsaka_txt It wasn't my idea, exactly, but I truly did want to see the city my boy met his beau in. After Caster here...
(He points to an increasingly horrified-looking Cas.)
...told me all he learned about his other self, he said he wanted me to be his middleman.
@oncexfutureking @tohsaka_txt ...Aye. You can.
(Thus, the puppet makes his appearance.)
Fergus, son of Ró-ech.
(He bows in apology.)
I suppose you two have reasons to suspect my boy here.
@tohsaka_txt @oncexfutureking What? Did you want me to spot ya? You two kinda tossed me in here, so I figured I'd occupy myself.
(He shows none of the fear he did yesterday, casually doing bicep curls with a kettle bell.)
Crappy hospitality aside... you gave me an out back there. What can I do for ya?
@botemiya H-Hey, why did...
[Cas stares at the translucent hand with nothing short of betrayal in his eyes, but "Fergus" speaks firmly.]
Ya wanna give Lancer a talkin' to? Start with the guy who's been lookin' around for him.
[The puppet fades, leaving Cas with a slack-jawed stare.]

@botemiya ["Fergus" appears, resigned to Cas's abrupt summonings.]
Yer beau's probably fine. I wanted these two to talk it out, but I couldn't stop 'im from leaving... and I sure couldn't stop this one from runnin' off either.
[He frowns as his grip on Cas's shoulder phases through.]
@DruidsLight Helping put him put of his misery, maybe.
[The distant sight of Saber drowning a man in mud is one he won't soon forget. That could have been him, once.]
Forgive me if I don't believe you.
@ShrekArcher In Erin, we kept the unexplained alive as best we could. Even when the country became Christianized... we wove our gods into text to keep them around, even after we lost.
[He gives David a mischievous smile in turn.]
Like the Tuatha de before us... we simply went underground.
