History

(Note: As Lancelot’s story involves time travel, it can be difficult to properly summarise. As such, the events from Lancelot’s perspective are presented first, as constructed from interviews with the player. Afterwards, a list of events in chronological order are presented. If you have any complaints with this procedure, please contact ILB managment on ||[LINE DISCONNECTED]||.)

Early life

Lancelot Kane was born in Breckenridge in the mid-1970s. An avid fan of the theatre as a child, she became a regular feature at the Breckenridge Community Center theatre (later known as the Blaseball stadium The Pocket), where she starred in many plays as she grew up. Most notably, whilst attempting to get in character for the role of a knight, Lancelot stumbled upon a suit of armour in The Pit, deep within the Community Center. Upon trying the armour on, Lancelot was affected by the armour’s curse, throwing her back in time to the time of Arthurian legends.

Arthurian times

It’s clear that suddenly appearing at the court of King Arthur was deeply shocking and traumatic for Lancelot, but she was able to adapt fairly quickly. She had been practicing to play a knight, after all. Whilst she never quite mastered the customs of the time, her charisma and physical prowess quickly earned her a spot at Arthur’s round table.

Overall, Lancelot spent about 4 years at Camelot, and she speaks of her time there with much positivity. She is especially fond of the time she spent with Mikan Hammer, an immortal being who was working as a blacksmith and armourer at the court. The two began a romantic relationship, Lancelot carrying Mikan’s favour into jousts many times. Mikan reciprocated by forging many different weapons and armour for Lancelot.

The Fall of Camelot

Information about the Fall of Camelot is hard to find, as Lancelot does not like speaking about the subject. However, we do know that Lancelot had struck up a close relationship with Queen Guinevere, and that whilst Lancelot, Mikan and Guinevere were very on-board for an open relationship, King Arthur was not. For whatever reason, Lancelot seems to believe that she herself is responsible for the resulting battles and the Fall of Camelot.

Immediately after this traumatic event, the power of the cursed armour activated once again. Lancelot was pulled back through time, disappearing from her old life altogether, and appeared in modern-day Breckenridge as a player on the Jazz Hands. In the present day, Mikan had seen a summoning circle appear in the Pit right before the incineration of Bauer Zimmerman, and finally realised what had happened to Lancelot all those years ago. Performing the summoning ritual, Mikan brought Lancelot into the present to serve as Bauer’s replacement on the Breckenridge Jazz Hands. The two were further shocked to realise that Mikan had created Lancelot’s cursed armour. After Lancelot disappeared from Camelot, Mikan had forged a suit of armour in her memory, and stored it in the Pit for safekeeping. The Pit had then cursed the armour, causing Lancelot to wear it and begin the series of events once again.

Chronological summary

• Lancelot Kane appears in the court of King Arthur
• She starts a romantic relationship with Mikan Hammer, and goes on adventures, becoming a famous knight.
• Lancelot also courted Queen Guinevere, to the anger of King Arthur. This jealousy led to a series of tragic events that eventually caused the fall of Camelot
• In the middle of the resulting tragedy, Mikan observed Lancelot apparently disappearing, leaving no trace. In memory of their love, Mikan forges a suit of armour in the style of Lancelot’s, eventually storing it in the Pit of what will become The Pocket in Breckenridge. The Pit then curses this armour to become the cursed armour Lancelot will don to travel back in time in the first place.
• Lancelot Kane is born in Breckenridge in the mid-1970s. She joins the Breckenridge Community Center and participates in many plays.
• Lancelot dons the cursed armour, and is sent back in time.
• Approximately 20 years later, directly after the incineration of Bauer Zimmerman, Mikan sees a summoning circle appear in the Pocket and realises why Lancelot disappeared all those years ago. They perform the ritual, summoning Lancelot back through time into the modern day.

The Jazz Hands

Although Lancelot was finally placed back in her time, she was brought back about 20 years after she left, which has caused her no end of culture shock. The feeling of being unstuck in time does not help her trauma either. She finds solace in the Jazz Hands, especially Mikan, re-kindling their relationship after all these years. Liquid Friend is also able to commiserate about feeling out-of-place, and Lancelot has at least found some entertainment in catching up on the 20-odd years of musical theatre and anime she’s missed out on.

Trivia

• Lancelot grew up in a household that used a lot of spice, and was distressed to find out just how bland food was during Arthurian times. After coming back she ate so much spicy food she passed out.
• Lancelot used to babysit Jazz Hands player Walton Sports before being thrown back in time. Walton is disturbed by the fact that his former babysitter is now younger than him, calling it “downright strange”.
• Before time travelling, Lancelot played the Oboe, and her instrument was kept safe by the Bolter until her return. She also plays Gabriel's Horn - a geometric figure proposed by Kathy and made physical by Mikan.
• Upon arriving in the present, Lancelot was disturbed to realise that her parents had named her after the great hero of legend, meaning she was named after herself.
