That is a...unique ability.

[In fact, Diarmuid has never heard of a magi with such an ability before. Granted, he knows of very few magi. Perhaps Waver would know better.]

However, it also seems like a useful ability to have. You are never unarmed that way.

[heavensfailure]

I've done pretty well with it so far. But it's not working as well for me now...

[oathshackledbird]

Just because of the new body as you mentioned...

[Diarmuid motions toward Shirou.]

...or is this something that has gotten worse since you arrived here?

[heavensfailure]

I haven't tried it since I showed up a few hours ago.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid smiles in understanding.]

It is all right. Don't worry about it. You have had a lot of other things on your mind.

[heavensfailure]

How long have people been here?

[oathshackledbird]

I am not sure on that since I have only been here a year myself, but...

[He pauses a moment to sort through his memories.]

If I am remembering right, I know of at least one person who has been here for too close to three years.

[heavensfailure]

That's terrible!

[Three years is a long time to be in a horrortower.]

[oathshackledbird]

It is, but at the same time, I prefer not to think of it that way.

[Diarmuid gestures with one hand as if he is trying to think of the best way to explain. In the end, he just goes with the simplest.]

Even though it has been that long, they are still sane and still fighting. They have grown stronger instead of being broken and that is a good thing.

[heavensfailure]

...I guess so, but I still don't want to be stuck that long.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid winces, almost as if he has been struck.]

You won't be...

[heavensfailure]

What? What'd I say?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shakes his head. He hates having to be the one to tell Shirou this, but it also doesn't seem right to keep it a secret either.]

Unfortunately, all of us here have a limited time in which to fix our worlds and find a way to go home. The Tower will run out of power in June, and we will die not long after if we are still here.

So, sadly, you needn't worry about being stuck here for years...

[heavensfailure]

...Oh. Yeah. That's a problem... I feel stupid for saying that.

[Maybe years would be better.]

[oathshackledbird]

Don't.

[Diarmuid smiles, attempting to be comforting.]

It's not your fault. You didn't know.

[heavensfailure]

All right... But tell me whenever I say something stupid. That happens a lot.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid actually laughs now and then shakes his head.]

I often say stupid things myself. I don't know if I am the right person to ask that of...

[heavensfailure]

Well, takes one to know one?

[That is the saying.]

[oathshackledbird]

Well...when you put it that way, I can't really argue.

[Diarmuid laughs again before giving Shirou a gentle look.]

It is good too meet you. I am sorry it is under these circumstances.

[heavensfailure]

There's nothing we can do about it. We might as well just be glad we ran into each other at all.

[oathshackledbird]

Indeed.

[Diarmuid nods and then motions toward the bowl of oatmeal sitting in front of Shirou.]

If you want to finish that off, I would be glad to show you around a little.

End thread?

[heavensfailure]

Oh, right. No point complaining how bland this is.

[Back to eating!]

Sounds good!

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs and shakes his head.]

Unfortunately not. Just think about all the good things that await you in the kitchen after this. It helps.
