11 PM, backdated to Wednesday night. Action 1, locked to 2237 Stevens Residents: [ Garviel awakens after a day of droning, and the awakening is not a gentle one.

Garviel...? What're you talking about?
[His right hand hung casually at his side, but the former Servant was already starting to focus what little prana he had. If his instinct ended up being right (which he sincerely hoped it wasn't) and Garviel was suddenly a threat, he would have the cursed spear in hand at a second's notice.]

[ He halts, giving Lancer time to respond.]

For how long?

This place may be difficult as hell, but I'll welcome you back all the same, brother.
