[ Aradia picks up the phone almost immediately, a little gasp of excitement audible on her end. He replied - and so soon too! The sooner she gets this out of her chest, the better. ]

Wait, so you could have been summoned as something else? I... Wow! I mean... I know now thanks to my wish that my ancestor had a different title from mine although we share the same aspect- that's Time, by the way. I'd love to have a whole chat about the war you've mentioned and about the one I was involved in, so we should plan that! I mean, I'd talk about it now but... [ She trails off, humming softly. ] I'll try to go straight to the point. Well. Well- yeah, I'll try.

Back home where I come from - well, not home-home but I mean I was dead in our homeworld and that's another thing... [ She huffs. Alright, focus miss! ] Basically I was involved in a very big adventure and I'm feeling a few paralells that I can't help but worry about. We - my adventure companions and I - were split into two teams as well and eventually once we got back together, we ended up splitting into another two teams with these human kids we met. I could go on about how that's sort of a constant that I've been experienced - well, should according to my wish - but what I mean is: I'm really worried! I know everyone else must be as well and I'm sure everyone knows there's a huge chance that either or both parties will be walking right into a trap, but I can't help but to reinforce the fact that people must be aware of the consequences of... Anything and everything they choose to do. Or to not do.

[ Whew. That was a mouthful. ]

I know I'm not very intimidating and I know I'm still young even by human standards - I mean, I'm only your human equivalent of thirteen years old! But I want to help with an expedition back into the dungeon as soon as the other group takes the train. I want to know what the countdown is, even if it ends up being a bomb or a doorway into another evil dimension. And I want to help. I'm staying behind and I want to keep my best friend safe and I want to help keep everyone else more or less out of trouble if I can, too.

... So then I talked to that Kakyoin human and he mentioned you and here I am! [ :D ]

[oathshackledbird]

Yes, actually. My skills qualified me for the Saber class as well.

[And wow, that is a lot to take in at once. Diarmuid takes a deep breath and hums quietly as he sorts it all out.]

It has a lot to do with magic and wishes...and that makes it sound a lot like this place, doesn't it?

[Oops.]

It's not anything like this place really, except it is.

[And he needs to stop doing that. Focus Diarmuid! It looks like her scattered thinking might be rubbing off on him a little.]

Anyway, it sounds like you have a lot of experience with adventures and magic. I would love to talk about both of our experiences, but why don't we focus on the most immediate thing first?

[That would be, the dungeon.]

I don't know if Kakyoin mentioned it when you talked, but organization is not exactly our strong point. With us being split in two groups like this, I am really hoping that we can find some way to stay organized, though. We need to since we will have fewer people in any one place.

[And she is right. They are most definitely walking into a trap, on both sides.]

Age doesn't really mean that much. What is more important is experience and the passion to help others. It sounds like you have both of those in great amounts. How would you like to help? What would you say you are good at?
