(( http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Nasuverse for previous threads. It is not necessary to read them, but it helps.

IRC is #HGWSeattle @ rizon. ))
LAST TIME:

YOUR ALLIANCE WITH ALLY SEEMINGLY SECURED WITH A GEAS, YOU AND RIDER SCOUTED FOR OTHER MASTERS. UPON FINDING ONE, YOU DID BATTLE, ONLY TO DISCOVER HE WAS A POWERFUL CASTER CLASS SERVANT, NOT BERSERKER AS YOU HAD ASSUMED! HE ESCAPED, TO AN UNKNOWN FATE, AND YOU RETURNED TO YOUR SECONDARY BASE.

WHAT SERVANTS WAIT TO FIGHT IN THIS INSTALLMENT?

CAN YOU AND LUKE OBTAIN THE GREATER GRAIL?

FIND OUT! IN THIS INSTALLMENT OF HOLY GRAIL WAR - SEATTLE.
>>
RISE AND SHINE, FUCKER!
>>
I groan as I rise from my bed. The day has not yet dawned, and I jump as I see Arry has been watching me wake up.

She smiles and wanders off into the other room while I wake up Rider, who stretches, the sheet falling from his smooth and slightly toned chest. He smiles wanly at me, his pink hair all over the place.

"Good morning, Master~." he says, and I sigh.

What's on the agenda today?
>>
First thing's first, call the Rulers again. Ganon may have run out of mana during the night, and I want to know if he's good and gone.
>>
>>20149819

Well, I suppose that depends, Master Luke - how well can you walk at the moment?~

Joking (or is it) aside, I'd like to try to meet a few more Masters on friendly terms. A more reliable ally watching our back is just what the doctor ordered.
>>
>>20149819
Breakfast, first and foremost.

Give Astolfo a backrub, he did a great job last night.

Calling up the Rulers and seeing is Ganon is dead yet or if he's alive and kicking. Maybe you can find out if his Command Seals are around to check if he found a new master or is just running off of something else.

Scout out the competition, meet with them on friendly neutral ground, acquire more allies if you can.
>>
>>20149839
This and what Cu's suggesting.
>>
>>20149864
Oh, I don't think we'll find someone as proficient at *watching* as our current one.

Still though, we should probably find someone who can actually fight her, in case this whole arrangement goes tits up.
>>
>>20149819
Check with Rulers.
Ganon could make a contract with one of the dead Servants' Masters.
If he didn't just kill them and they didn't forfeit from the war, of course.
This may be problematic.
Also, what are our defenses here? Can you improve them? Can Arrie improve them? Ganon is after us, we shall be ready.

For those not in the know WE DON'T SPEAK ASSASSINS NAME.

Posting this so all can see the classes / servants we've encountered, or at least know the identities of the defeated. To our knowledge caster was the guy who took out the 3 currently defeated.
>>
You should brush Astolfo's hair, I bet that would make him happy,

Anyway, I hope you Bob's learned a lesson last time about risk management. We need to be more willing to take chances. There's no way Ganondorf is gone, even after using a high-level Noble Phantasm as a Caster he has giant mana reserves, he could easily last days if he's smart, and that's assuming he hasn't found a replacement master, which he probably has.

Hell, the Triforce of Power may preclude him even needing a master for all we know.

Either way, we need to be more willing to take risks (except when it comes to that Assassin you all seem as eager to use as a 10 year old who found his father's gun. How you can be so conservative in every other area and so reckless in that one is beyond me)

Either way I won't be available for a few hours to help you all, so try not to die.
>>
>>20149864
Agreed, we've got arry supplying mana for our servant, but she's really of no use to us in a fight with her servant. More of a large liability at this point than anything else as we're obligated to defend her under geas too.
>>
I make a quick call to the Rulers.

Casters are all still alive. No recent defeats have been reported or are visible in the Grail. I sigh and hang up, and I don't even notice Rider leaving the room. When I walk out into the kitchen, he's in the kitchen, cooking helpings of bacon and eggs - in an apron.

And nothing else. He laughs at my predictable reaction, then gets dressed with the clothes he had hidden beneath the sink - A long skirt, a tanktop, etcetera.

Arry is again staring at her hand as I turn on the news.

"-witnesses say that building shook until it fell apart, though everyone was able to escape safely. Onto our next story - a gang shooting in Seattle leaves twenty dead..."

Hurm...
>>
>>20150022
I don't think that's a gang shooting. Looks like we have a gun wielding hero on our hands. And GANON IS STILL ALIVE. Fuck.
>>
>>20150022
Two explosions, none dead.
Weird. Any ideas about a hero who explode buildings but leave everyone alive?
And proceed with fortifying this place and looking for other Masters.

How prana-buses are doing, by the way?

>For other Bobs: http://pastebin.com/UcE5Rkst
>>
>>20150022
That's the second piece of property destruction with no casualties.

Maybe someones doing it on purpose, for some reason.
>>
>>20150022
Master, you really need to stop being flustered whenever you get a boner for Astolfo. Nobody here will judge you or anything like that.

Get over yourself, you want to hit that so hard that whoever pulls you out will become the next King of England.

It's possibly a gun based hero but we don't have enough data to get any idea on who. As for the shaking building I have no fucking idea who did that. Maybe the destroyed buildings are forming a pattern.
>>
Ganon still isn't much of a problem at this point as we're aware of who and what he is we've proven we can beat him while he's not in pigform and we can outrun him when he is, there are other heros to worry about I'm still dreading the possibility of baron samedi even with arry's servant on our side.

And yes, it sounds very much like a gun wielder in Seattle at the moment and he sounds out of control, which is more than a little dangerous for us.
>>
>>20150086
>>20150076
Hmmm..... Were the building and the yacht owned by the same person?
>>
>>20150103
Maybe not out of control. To me, "Gang Shooting" implies that the 20 dead were members of a gang. Maybe someone is using a servant to take the law into their own hands.
>>
>>20150119
>>20150086
>>20150076
We currently suspect the explosions and property destruction to be the work of 'Old Man Henderson' summoned as a servant.

Eat breakfast, consult with arry and astolfo what they think next moves in the war should be, possibly search for another ally.
>>
>>20150182
Doesn't fit.
Henderson always leave causalities behind him.
Especially friendly ones. Right now we try to remember a game where you blow stuff up, but always have friendly fire off.
>>
>>20150154
20 people shot dead with no bodies on the other side is still pretty high profile, could be a vigilante type. Maybe someone summoned up Dirty Harry. He could definitely qualify as a blue archer
>>
>>20150184
Too many potentials to worry about it at the moment we'd need much more information in any case.
>>
>>20150022
Master, there's an idea we want you to test out. The theory behind it is sound but I want to be sure it'll actually work now instead of having to find out later.

Give Astolfo a piggyback ride, see if you get better at casting.
>>
>>20150257
Wouldnt that make him better at riding?
>>
>>20150287
Astolfo gives anything that he is riding a Parameter Boost due to having an absurd Riding score. So if he is riding our Master, piggyback being the easiest way, than his stats, including Mana, will improve. So theoretically it'll make him stronger, faster, and better at casting if he's giving Astolfo a ride on his back.
>>
>>20150257
>>20150287
>>20150309
Goddamnit, that's absurd - besides that, I've no reason to do so at the moment.

>>20150076
I feel much more energetic today. The packets must have come in just before I woke. Excellent.

I walk up behind him and start massaging his shoulders. I'm again reminded of how much muscle is packed into that tiny, feminine form.

<Master, something bothers me about Arry.> he tells me, as he tastes some of the ground beef. <needs more garlic... She's unnerving, and her Servant has not shown himself. Often it seems he exists, and then does not. That's... wrong. Incorrect. Are you sure about allying with her?>
>>
>>20150378
"No. There are things about her Servant you should know. I should have told you earlier, but at first I wasn't sure and then everything was happening too fast. She is troubles, but breaking alliance right now will do us more harm then good, unfortunately. I'll tell you details when we are alone".
>>
>>20150378
Can we get a direct like to that boy to assure him that we NEVER want that particular servant to show himself.

Besides that though, I'd rather have her close by giving us doses f stuff that lower out presence to him.
>>
>>20150378
We need someone who can provide mana to you - and the voices in your masters head are well aware of what her servant is and does, and trust us its *much* better that she's allied with us than her being against us.

If you feel it absolutely necessary, explain her servant like one of those atomic particles - it only exists when its being observed (or in its case, when someone has knowledge about it). With some of the potentials that could come up in the war, he could be useful and he's far more dangerous to not have on our side.
>>
>>20150420
Don't give him any details. When did we give master details.

The less both of them know about Slim Jim, the safer they are from him.
>>
>>20150378
The reason you should do it now is because if you need that boost later I don't want to try this plan and find out that it doesn't work. You test shit like this out before it's important if at all possible.

Astolfo, do not investigate the nature of her Servant any further, we are keeping it from you because it is dangerous for you to know. If knowing of it did not put you at risk we would have told you.

I agree that she is unstable and that the very moment Luke can supply you with enough Prana I would love to see her head on a pike. But currently we need the Prana and I'd like to keep her close where we can keep an eye on her in the interim.
>>
>>20150378
<No. No I'm not. Her servant... scares me. I'll tell you more once we're alone.>

We need to tell him about Slim Jim and all the murdering he's been doing, but not here with Arrie around. Try and get a moment alone with him, maybe suggest the two of you work on your car together, or something.
>>
>>20150454
Good idea.
>>
>>20150439
Not details about Fatman's nature.
Details about his activities and why it is a bad idea to just break an alliance.
This details are:
- he's an abomination responsible for killing people.
- death of Arrie may or may not affect him at all. It may even make him kill more for mana-snacks
- we are seeking a way to kill him for good
- before we find it, it's better to keep Arrie close, especially since we are now on Fatman's radar.
>>
>>20150454
What we need to do is find an interested third party who can take her out when we don't need her anymore. You know, someone who can get around that pesky Geas. I think finding someone like that should be our first priority.

Also, do we know what kind of magic she can do? What do we really know about this girl, other than shes bug fuck crazy and enjoys slicing herself up?
>>
>>20150454
Yes, this.
>>
>>20150494
We are not under geas. Only Arrie took it. Thankfully, our Master is not fully retarded. Just a bit.
But we do need someone with good ranged attack to kill Fatman. Or Reality Marble. From what I understand about his abilities, RM is an ideal weapon against him.

Arrie has Present Concealment. She makes herself and us look like nothing - an inanimate object. I suspect she is also very sensitive to mana and prana.
Basically, she is Assassin in her own right.
>>
>>20150494
Surprisingly little and that's actually a good place for investigation. We need to get Arrie to open up to us about her magic style, background and other stuff, then we'll have a place to start for determining if we kill her or humanize her.

Based on her servant I'd expect some severe trauma in her life, maybe master can fix her.
>>
>>20150484
Good points, but our servant is a Lawful Good kind of boy. The fact that we're allied with a guy who's killing innocents left right and center is a huge NO to him. We should be honest about it, at least since he's going to find out eventually.

>>20150494
Arrie never made us sign the Geas. She's crazy like that.
>>
>>20150559
This was me, btw.
>>
>>20150559
Arrie wants to live, that's a large part of why she signed on with us - her servant cannot protect her.
>>
>>20150548
No no no no no. This is not Lisa we're talking about here, this isn't some broken bird who needs some love, this girl is a piece of glass someone dropped, stomped on, threw in the blender and then soaked in gasoline and set on fire. There is no "fixing" her.

>>20150559
He's less Lawful Good than David was, he lies somewhere between Eliza and David.
>>
>>20150583
We don't know anywhere near enough about her to determine what can or cannot be done with her. As she is she is unstable - it may be possible to fix her though we'd just need to know more.
>>
>>20150559
I'd like to say our servant is 'Pragmatic/Practical good'.
>>
>>20150609
I'd bet you anything she didn't use a catalyst. Te fact that she got HIM tells me shes pretty fucking broken.
>>
(have to dodge out for blood donor clinic, wish it didn't fall on today).
>>
>>20150559
>>20150484
<Let me say this - her servant is more dangerous the more you know about it. It's a terrible monster, a hideous abomination. I want to stop it, but in order to do that, I need to have a more concrete way to stop it.>

Rider contemplates in silence.

<After this, we're working on your car.> he states, a little coldly. <Is that alright?>

<Yeah.>

<Lie to me again, and... And I'll pay you back for it. Somehow.>

<I'm sorry.>

<Just don't let it happen again.>

The meal finished, we get to eating. He breaks from it early, wandering into the bedroom.

"You two have an argument?" Arry asks lazily.
>>
>>20150638
>>20150583
What did we learn yesterday about making assumptions?
>>
>>20150657
No no, everything is fine. It okay. It's fine. How are you?
>>
>>20150657
Hay, be fair paladin, it's not like we knew before we woke up in the middle of the night with her being crazy right in our face.
>>
>>20150670
When asked if she used a catalyst she shook her head, I don't think she used one. She summoned Slim Jim all on her own.

>>20150657
No, everything's fine between us. How are you doing?
>>
>>20150657
"Sort of. Little things, mostly. Rider thinks I should take better care of my car. We're going to work on it now, try and see if we can get it combat-ready, that sort of thing. We'll talk things over in the meantime. Could you hit the internet and do some research while we're busy? I'm looking for a servant who can cause huge explosions that don't harm civilians. Heroes, villains, video game characters, anything would be useful."

Keeps Arrie off our back while we make our old car into a vehicle worthy of Bob!
>>
>>20150657
"We were talking about tactics. I prefer somewhat underhanded methods while she is more in favor of open fights. We reached an agreement, though. Now, I have a question: can you improve defenses here?"
>>
>>20150753
Scratch the research-idea, RBB's defense one is better.
>>
>>20150753
Disregard my talk about tactics, use this speech, change research to defenses.
And change Rider to "she". We want to enforce the confusion. She doesn't really care, but it never hurts to be careful.
>>
>>20150754

Well said. However, I doubt that she will be able to improve the defenses, as that was her original purpose in allying with us.
>>
>>20150657

I support this >>20150754 If anything, it's a way to figure out what she CAN do as part of our alliance.

Though we still need to find some information on the other masters and servants. We've encountered two masters, one of which is now a pink mist. Are the masters of the recently defeated servants still floating around? If so, we may have to worry about Ganon making a pact with one of them in the event that he does need a stable source of prana.

Furthermore, Allow me to reiterate; we need more allies, master. Once you finish here, I would advise that we go and search for some. Also, I'd like to pay another visit to that weapons dealer. And did you mention something about an armourer as well?
>>
>>20150863

Food

Get evidence of the explosions. Someone must have filmed something or seen something
>>
>>20150885
We round up with a Berserker. Then we go take on Ganon with Power, Wisdom and Courage.
>>
>>20150950
I support getting a Berserker on our side for once.
>>
>>20150863
Calm down, Sir Mordred. Things have changed during your absence. Mistress is dead, and we are in the middle of a new Holy Grail War.
>>
>>20150950
Arrie isn't exactly a shining paragon of Wisdom, though.
>>
Oh hey we're back. Provided the duration of the war is still 14 days, our top Servant targets are in order of highest to least:

Assassin
Archer
Caster (raises as time goes on)
Rider
Lancer
Saber
Berserker

The top 3 need to be taken out because they excel at unconventional combat which we need to utilize to win this war. If we encounter a Berserker we do not engage because their prana hungry nature and general strategy of Rip 'n' Tear will benefit us in the long run. Unless they can move faster than an arrow we run and let them hopefully take out other SErvants.
>>
>>20150984
There is no time limit in this war.
I say we ally with caster and hack the Grail. There will be four times the usual amount of prana involved, I bet some competent Caster can split it into a few wishes.
>>
>>20150956

Magos, do you even realize what you're saying? You want to allying with a Berserker-class servant? The class that is most notoriously almost impossible to control, even by their own Master? Have you taken leave of your senses?

No. Absolutely no. I refuse to allow such a loose cannon anywhere near our Master.
>>
>>20151036
Depends on the master, depends on the servant. Seeing who we're currently allied with... I'm not going to exclude anyone before we get more info on them.
>>
"No, it's fine. Been meaning to ask, how are your warding capabilities?"

"I've made it look like no one lives here - traces are ignored or passed over. Prana coming in appears to lose coherence halfway to its destination. Things like that. I can stay here somewhat safely, so long as I remain stationary."

"So why did you need our help?"

"Because I need to leave, eventually. To get food."

...Ah...

Rider emerges wearing naught but a pair of overalls. He's holding the toolbox we bought and gestures outside.

I head out with him. He opens the hood of the car.

"My god, what a mess..." he mutters, leaning down to look through it. "Stop staring at my posterior and help me out, here."

I walk over, and he starts to explain the basics of vehicle maintenence. Byt the time we're done, both of us have oil on out hands and faces. He wipes his hands on a rag and smiles wide at me, teeth shining through a black-smeared face.

"It'll run much better now." he says confidently. "So what are today's plans?"

"I was thinking we should seek out more allies?"

"Anything specific? Plans of approach?"

"Well..."
>>
>>20151036
Aww. I just want to be causing the destruction for once.
>>
>>20151036
Agreed, unless we find a Berserker that somehow kept his sense.
>>
>>20151054
An ad in the paper? Just looking around during the day? That could work.

Cruisin.
>>
>>20151054
Find a Berserker. They need durability and safety in a Grail War and should be easy to trace. Riding would take us away if the worse happens.

Riders are a possibility, but having another Servant who can match mounts and power with us is dangerous.

We will never find other Archer or Assassin. Casters will hide. Sabers and Lancers will probably lone it.
>>
>>20151054

Check out who all the original email was CC'd to. Google their names. Find someone who looks at least relatively normal/trustworthy.
>>
>>20151054
Hm. I would like to check the yacht and building. Not sure if we'll find anything useful, but who knows?
And other Masters may have the same idea.
Other than that? Repeat of yesterday, I guess. Maybe choose another area.
>>
>>20151054
Go check out the site of the explosion/building collapse, see if there are any clues as to the Servant's identity. Maybe you'll find other masters and servants there who are doing the same thing.

Before that you two should take another shower. I do hope there's enough warm water.
>>
>>20149947

Why shouldn't we say Slenderman?
>>
>>20151115
Fuck Off
>>
We go for any reliable ally provided they are not Berserker. That would draw too much attention to our little group. As it stand we need ground we can meet people without us being sniped down or gutted like a pig. What locations are available to us?

Furthermore, what methods do we have of contacting other Masters without just wandering around blindly? I'd rather not have people remember the license plate on our car.

I agree, it's fucking bullshit. After we helped David they didn't bring us back, apparently they couldn't find a way around our life expectancy thing. No respect. Then Eliza and Attie got nommed by Primate Murder, David and our niece's location and status are unknown.

We got sold in a fucking estate sale to this here chucklefuck for this Grail War, which has 4 grails of 7 servants which leads to a GIANT FUCKING CLUSTERFUCK. Because King Solomon was pissed that Counter Force finally caught up to him and decided to flip Gaia the bird as he died so he made this war.

((Read the archive- unless you're just being IC, in which case carry on))

No, mate, this is most definitely a Holy Grail War. It's just rather...larger...than last time.

>>20151240
Alright. Let me put it like this. We didn't get a body because we got pretty fucked up while riding David. As for why we're here...the Dead Apostles don't like others being immortal and shit. So Primate Murder had a field day with Liz and Attie. David is in hiding somewhere or in an alternate dimension or something. We were bought at an estate sale, or more accurately, our summoning ritual was.
>>
>>20151280
Oh, and I forgot something important.

Our Master has less Magic Circuits than a potato, isn't anywhere near as pragmatic, effective, or good at Grail Warring as Eliza was and doesn't understand the importance of cuddling his Servant.
>>
>>20151240

Furthermore, you useless little wretch, you disappeared. You expect to be able to leave in the middle of everything, and be able to return on a whim and profit from it? Don't make me laugh.

We were unable to gain a body because of a deal with a Fae - it was that, or commit genocide and leave Master David sterilized. Of the two, the option we chose was far preferable. Remember your purpose - to aid your Master. Had we gained a body, it would have been at Master's expense.

"First thing, we need to examine the building that shook itself down."

"Alright, I'll take care of the police."

"...How?"

He grins, cleaning his face. "You'll see~."

It's not a long drive. The area is sequestered by yellow tape, and a female officer talks on a cell.

"Perfect. Stop here."

He gets out and approaches the woman, and... acts like a child. I can only vaguely hear a sob story about a lost puppy and needing help - at first the woman is hesitant, then noncommital, then agreeing... Straight into being excited to help. As he leads her away, he grins at me. The way forward is clear!

I get out and examine the structure, and find, in the rubble, a very small device, no larger than an old alarm clock. Its purpose eludes me. There's no residue in the area, no smell or appearance of explosives. Exceedingly strange.

Don't touch the device. If you can make a temporary circle around the device that you can easily erase from the scene, do so. It may cut off any external magic sources and give us an idea of what happened.

Ask Rider if the box is radiating any form of magical energy. If no, use something to pick it up - your shirt ought to do. Then check the rest of the area for traces of leftover magical energy.

Thats just fucking cheap, Eliza. I thpught you were better than this.

Yeah, no. When you get fatter and don`t fit into your favorite comfy chair anymore, thats "rather larger". This? This is bad news. I mean.. Last time there were only 7 servants around and we nearly turned seattle in the worlds biggest parking lot. Now we have 28 Servants!

Anyway, something is seriously wrong if every fucking idiot that is able to read a magical book is able to summon us and then fucks us over. We need some kind of Worker`s Union or something..

>>20151503
There may be more than 28 Servants. Apparently, non-standard classes like Beast and Seducer are allowed.
Also, one of the Casters killed two Sabers and Archer.
>>
If this was Tesla's work, the war has simultaneously gotten easier and harder at the same time. Last time I checked he was a pacifist and probably has some hangups about killing people. Then again there was a earthquake in this populated city. Keep an eye out for electronic devices like cameras Master.

There's no point in whining about it now mate, our Master is an absolute rubbish Magus. There's nothing he can do about it at all, so let's just get on with our bloody job and not worry about it until later.

As for the Grail War, we could ask Jeanne what gives with the big war.

While we're at it, we can ask her about the identities of other Masters. Or rather have Lancer and his CHA-A ask her.

Tesla... That crazy dude, a Servant? Good lord...

I decide to move back to the car. Rider is already there, playing with a small, white puppy with a wagging tail. Pulling out my cell, I give the Rulers a call.

Jeanne says that she can't answer the question over the phone, and would rather meet in person.
>>
>>20151796
Good idea. We don't have any solid plans at the moment.
And seducing a Ruler would go a long way in ensuring our victory.

>vital finapie
Captcha agrees.
>>
>>20151796
Go to her, then.

So, we're potentially dealing with a pacifist Caster who can't actually cast. We are also dealing with a small dog where did he get that?
>>
>>20151796
Ask Rider where he found the puppy.

Make a date with Jeanne for later tonight, then continue exploring. Are there any other masters/servants nearby? What was this building's original function? Residential, office (if so, what company), that sort of stuff. A servant (probably Tesla) leveled it, and I'd like to know why.

Be cautious and investigate the building for *why* it was destroyed.

Aww, look at the puppy, so cute, and wagging it's little tail. It's probably a familiar. An ADORABLE familiar.
>>
>>20151856
Rulers take action only in two situations:
- someone causes clusterfuck too big to be ignored obviously using magic (see 4th war Caster).
- someone runs on Maldive and don't participate in the war.

That's all. A masterless Servant is nothing big, they are allowed to seek new Master or just fight on their own. There even a rule about new Masters.
>>
>>20151889
Scratch that, guess its time to meet with rulers again if they want to talk in person.
>>
>>20151852
After that, we hit the internet and try to finds some connection between the building a the yacht. If Tesla is keeping casualties to a minimum, I want to know why he's blowing things up in the first place. He might be being hunted by someone.
>>
>>20151856
Servants whos masters are defeated are allowed to seek new masters. Expect ganon to show up again he had enough mana to transform after we gibbed his master, as well as revert and fly off.

Its possible that the triforce aspect of power will sustain him for mana for quite a long time in addition to the normally huge mana reserves a caster has.
>>
We need more details about the rules of this Grail War. Seriously everything's all screwed up, no time limit, 28 participants, fictional Servant. We gotta get a list of the rules and try to make the other teams break them and get broken in turn.

On a more serious note, we've gotta track Luke's heritage and make sure there's no Englishman in him for a chance at Jeanne. Also fix up that dog with a quick visit to the Vet. French mythological figures dig sensitive guys that save dogs right?
>>
>>20151956
That's been something I've been worrying about. The Triforce of Power is a holy artifact of the gods, it's no telling how much that thing can put out.
>>
>>20151970
The rules are as standard sans time limit. trying to hook up with jeanne is a silly idea and remember there are 4 'rulers' this time around, one for each colored incarnation of the grail - we only know the identity of jeanne.

>>20151996
http://pastebin.com/qJw29xd7

Also he's an adorable shota-trap.
>>
>>20151996
He has a horse made of hurricanes and fire, a giant he can use with enough mana provided, and everything he rides is boosted in all its parameters and he can ride anything.
>>
>>20151986
We know that he smashed two sabers and an archer, because they confused him for a berserker (akuma) he revealed to them that he was actually a caster, and ended up punching them out of existence.

We however kicked his ass rather badly and forced him to transform - the transformation is the scary part for us as we're not sure if we can take it, other than that Ganon isn't a problem for us. We *might* be able to handle it with the giant our servant can summon, but truthfully we might want to cut deals with another master (possibly a saber with a holy weapon or someone who can suck the prana out of ganon).
>>
>>20151852
"A puppy?"

"I found him with the police lady. I lied that I was looking for my lost dog. She was on the edge of not believeing me anymore, so I pretended to find it." he says, as the little furball licks his cheek, he laughs. "So I picked him up. He likes me!"

"Anyway, Jeanne-"

"..."

"Sorry, Ruler - where are we going to meet?"

"There's a specific cafe in the Key Peninsula. The address is..." she rattles it off with practiced ease. "Head there now - I'll get going right away."

"See you there."

"Got a hot date?" Rider asks, with a catlike grin.

If we do burn a command seal on changing Rider's class later, I recommend we change it based on what Servant's remain. Caster if a good number of Assassins and Sabers are eliminated. Lancer if the remaining Servants are largely Riders for "Gold Radamanto" which is amazing for taking out Riders.

FEARFUL LEGEND INVOKED.

We drive. I've already hung up on Je- on the Ruler. "I think I'll name him Orlando." he says, holding the puppy up. "What do you think of that?" it replies by diving into the front of his overalls, and he laughs while pulling the doggie out.

Time passes. Rider regales me with his tales of being a tree and meeting Roland. The way he talks, it almost sounds more than brotherly companionship, or camaraderie. It almost... Hn.

I see Astolpho in a new light now, I suppose. The things he gave for the addled knight. The lengths he went. Was that...

We arrive at the location. It's barely more than a little hut. Jeanne sits pleasantly, blonde hair swaying in the wind. A white headband has replaced her headdress, and her eyes are closed. Tea for three is set on the table as we get out. Orlando barks at her, and her eyes open as it leaps into her lap, laying down.

"I see you've made it." she says in a pleasant voice. "Sit down. I'm sure you and Rider have quite a few questions."

"Indeed we do, Milady d'Arc. First of all, I should like to know what caused this particular Grail War to change from the normal 7 Servants with a single Grail to 28 Servants and 4 Grails.

Secondly, since you obviously do not particularly care about keeping the Masters' identities secret from each other, seeing as how you gathered us all together to do your little introduction, I wish to enquire as to the identities of the other Masters."

There are 4 rulers right? We know that Jeanne d'arc is the identity of one - who are the other 3 rulers?

We also half expected there to be some discussion of Arrie's servant (in fact you might want to mention Arries servant as she's more or less letting it do whatever it wants right now - the rulers may be able to defeat it for us if/when it becomes prudent).

"What is the penalty for breaking the rules?"

"Execution." she states calmly, taking a sip from her cup. "But then, there is only a few rules. Do not expose the war unduly, and remain involved. That is it, essentially. The rest is win conditions."

"I see. And if you notice someone breaking those rules -"

"The relevant Ruler will deal with the problem at hand. However, no one is breaking the 'Rules' as yet."

"I see. Why... so many servants, though?"

She smiles at me, radiant and beautiful.
"Every Grail is made for a purpose. Each one, built to do something specific. To reach the root of all things. To recover a lost magic. Or..." she sighs. "To spite a world that did not give what was desired, that jilted a dear friend, that murdered close allies with no provocation. This grail is not stable because it was not made to be. It was not built by someone with all of their faculties. In short..."

She looks at the sky.

"This grail was made to end the world."

In fact we need everyone who's against the world ending on our side - that means Ganon and Arrie's servant (as well as Arrie herself as she seems okay with the whole concept of nothingness) are against us.

In fact, we need to get Arry attached to this world, even if its just for the sake of something in it. Time to start givin her the dick.

"The end of the world?" I ask. "What a joke."
She raises an eyebrow. "As if I'd let that happen."

"Why is that?" she asks, interested.

"Because I'm going to be the single most powerful magus in the history of time - or of the future. And that can't happen if there isn't a world for it to happen in. I already scrimped and scraped - for a familiar to help me, for the materials to do magic. I became a magus in the world of rich socialites - me, the son of an addict, the son of a whore. The end of the world..." I shake my head.

"Not gonna happen. How do we stop it?"

"We? You are asking a Ruler to subvert the purpose of the grail she is to bring forth."

"I am."

"I had thought you a coward."

"I'm not. My bravery is just of a very different sort than many know."

Her eyes take an interested glint.

"Come here tomorrow at this time." she says quietly, rising from her seat. "I'll deliberate on today's events."

"Thank you for your time."

And I turn to see Rider giving me an odd look.

Give him a level look.

"Do you disagree? Or did my apparent ability to spontaneously grow a spine surprise you? Listen, Sir Knight; I may not be much for physical bravery, but all of the blood, tears, and pain I've put in over the years, all the effort I made to become a stronger Magus - all of that comes to naught if the world ends. So, for my own, purely selfish reasons, I'm not going to let that happen."

Are you sure? I mean, it is the ultimate "fuck you" to everyone who wronged you. Are you sure you don't want to go down with a bang? Also, I'm fairly sure your wish will result in either elimination of all magic except yours, big explosion when your fragile body tries to sustain itself with thousands new magic circuits, rewriting of history so you are the most powerful magus... because everyone else is even worse or just plain death of Gaia.
Your wish as it is is impossible even with the power of the Grail. So why not destroy the world which denies you what you want the most?

But enough philosophy for today. Just think about it.
Right now you should talk with Astie. He wants the Grail for himself as well. And probably is concerned about whether or not you want to destroy it. Ask what's wrong.

This will need to be discussed with our servant too - with a grail that powerful there is a good chance that any wish made could backfire catastrophically, we might have to destroy it.

As said, we need to get people caring about things. It's fairly obvious Jeanne d'arc doesn't want to destroy the world, but some servants could be quite okay with it (namely Arries servant, Gwyn, and Ganon).

...Oh, right. She was killed by things that can wipe their arses with the most powerful magus in the world easily. Ah, too bad, now we`ll never know.

...You`re kind of an idiot, aren`t you?

I say if we have the chance to wipe out the world, Gaia and all the non-human scum altogether, we should do it!
>>
>>20153386
If this thing has enough power to take out the whole world, then it has more than enough to kill the Apostles completely dead.

You know, despite the fact that we're technically not part of it, I actually LIKE the world. It's got some awesome shit. Like tits. No world = no tits. Also, if we're using the grail to kill something, I vote Altrouge. Bitch killed Liz and Attie. She's got it coming to her.

Revenge for Mistress Liz and Attie? Tempting....but if Altrouge gets the proverbial stake through the heart, what's to stop one of the other Dead Apostles (someone even WORSE) from taking her place?

Then we use the Grail to kill them all.

>>20153386
Black Bob.
Seriously what the hell?
Do you really think Eliza would want us to blow up the entire world just because she died? She would have expected better of us. The least we can do is honor her memory by dismantling this Grail before it nukes fucking everything.

Also Heavens Feel isn't exactly suited for combat, and she got tossed against something that pretty much exists only for combat.

Now than, that being said I don't believe Lukes wish is so incredibly stupid. Between him and us we can easily word the wish so that we don't end up destroying magic, or ourselves, when we make it.

Hell if all else fails we can pull a STONKING GREAT TITS and use the grail to give Luke more mana than he will ever be able to use. And i'm confident he's clever enough to be able to use that to achieve greatness.

It has to be a lasting victory.

I smile at Astolpho.
"Come on. As if I'd get into the holy grail war if I was spineless."

He nods approvingly, picking up the doggie.

"But you know the old saying."

"Of course. I'll be carefully discriminate with my newfound-"

I pause. Something on the edge of my sight. Barely there, barely recognizable. "-power."

Rider doesn't notice the pause.

"So. Little miss ruler, she's got a nice ass, hm?"

"what"

"Come on, you telling me you didn't check her out?"

"I, er, I can certainly appreciate a fine body, but that wasn't really the point..."

Rider just laughs as he gets in the car to drive and we head out.

Where now?

Aww yeah... I approve Luke, I approve.

Well, if you're keeping the puppy, I guess a pet store.

HOME. NOW. You need blood from Arry - IMMEDIATELY. In fact you need a lot more from that, you're going to take blood from her then you're going to jump into bed with her and have her work two kind of magic on you.

Her servant is currently after you and that is very, very, very bad news.

Don't look at it. It's either Fatman or some other Assassin. But probably Fatman - others have no need to show themselves.

Pet store.

THEN HOME, AND IF YOU SEE SOMETHING OUT OF THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TURN THE OTHER WAY!
>>
>>20153808
I highly doubt Slim Jim is after us. As detailed before we're like one light amongst others. If anything I'd think he's chasing after some other poor bastard who knows too much.

For now we should try to scope out the area for information and for other Servant sightings. Stay in crowded locations so we don't get singled out and cut down.
>>
>>20153844
But that's impossible! No one can out drive the Stig!
>>
>>20153742

Have we ever found out what wish Astolpho has that he wants the Holy Grail to grant? That is the biggest motivation for the Servants allowing themselves to be summoned, IIRC.
>>
>>20153985
We've said his name twice. We have invoked Fearful Legend twice.
>>
>>20153985
That flicker in the masters eyes was him - that's how it starts when you invoke his fearful legend, he also isn't something we want to take chances with.

We go home first get some blood (and possibly start romancing arry) then we go back out and search for other servants.
>>
Go ahead and head to the pet store. Keep an eye out for servants and masters, and avoid Slim sightings. Have Astolpho drive in the event we need to outride everything/anything. Otherwise, maintain a low profile.
>>
>>20154002
Both times due to fucking idiots. We got lucky the first time his name was said. Black Bob's sheer overwhelming RAGE at missing out on so much protected us.
>>
>>20154001
We can talk to astolpho about that as we're going home. We *KNOW* that disappearances have occurred in this area before and we've invoked his fearful legend twice, this is the part of the horror movie where people are screaming "GET OUT OF THERE YOU STUPID IDIOT, GO GET THE FUCK OUT OH GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE".

There's a pet store in the area - I head there.

"So why do you want the grail?" I ask as we're looking through toys. He hefts a bag of feed.

"Well..." He pauses, then looks away. "It's awkward." he mutters quietly. This is odd. Rider, shutting up?

"Awkward? You prance about in naught but an apron and call this awkward?"

"Look, it's complicated, okay!?" he barks. The doggie barks, directly after.

We buy the food, the newspapers, the bowls... I look away from a strange thing in the back of the store as we get back in the car, heading home.

"Blood. Now." I say, she stares at her hand, then points at the fridge.

I tear it open, grasping a baggie and ripping it open and drinking it deeply.

It's like sludge. Coppery, disgusting, sludge. It numbs my body, my mouth, removes my feeling. I grip the sides of the sink and vomit, panting.

If she asks why, say you saw something that you shouldn't have.

You OK there? We need to find a way to deal with our dear friend Fatman as soon as possible. For now, if you are feeling up to it, search for Masters. Non-crazy ally would be nice for a change.

Have astolpho scan for servants - we want to find the one thats been destroying buildings and stuff and confirm if its tesla or not. It may have been the inconclusive results of two servants fighting, or it could be something else entirely.

We forgot to check up on Arries research, and I heavily suggest you start bedding her as it could lead to some worldly attachment for her that draws her out of the whole nihilism thing, which would be good because it helps us with our now defined goal of preventing the world from being destroyed.

(We're not in seattle are we? otherwise I'd recommend investiging the local criminal elements where gunfighter may be likely to strike).

Is there a range-limit on the prana packages you get from the buses? If there isn't, you may want to set a similar system up in Seattle. You can never have too much prana, master.

The problem with Arrie is that she doesn't feel pain. Hence the missing chunks in her tongue. Presumably, she can't feel pleasure as well. So sexing her is kinda pointless as a method of manipulation.

Jeanne d'arc revealed that the new grail war is designed to destroy the world, as she's our only current ally it might be a good idea to draw her out of the complete shell of nihilism and 'nothing is best, nothing knows nothing best' stuff.

But....Arry DOESN'T FEEL PAIN, she self-mutilates unlike any damaged cumdumpster I have ever seen. I don't think she would get much out of sex.

Hell, Daddy probably showed her too much "affection" when she was a little girl, resulting in her becoming the complete psycho-hosebeast she is.

Or we can just not do that because some people are beyond salvation through the power of dickings.

He was talking about seduction getting Arry to care. Joan already does which is why shes considering defying the Grail.

I think people are gravely mistaken if they think redemption through sex will work for this girl. It may be possible, but lawful hot dickings isnt the answer

Luke doesn't really seem to like her either. Why force him into it?

It's like that one looney toon with daffy and bugs.

I decide not to screw the woman who is missing a small percentage of her body mass thanks to self-mutilation, as Rider descends the steps. He's... wearing pants. Even dressed pretty well for a guy. A nice business suit of black. The ribbons remain, but he looks far more...

Sharp. Even...

Attractive.

I catch myself as he sits down.

"Where to?"

"Seattle."

"Gotcha, sir." he says, as we take off. He's right. The car doesn't make strange sounds. It doesn't whine. It purrs, moving fluidly through turns. It feels smooth. "You asked why I wanted to Grail." he says slowly, deliberately. "I want it because I want Roland."

Huh. Can't say I'm too surprised, but from what Astolfo told us during shower bonding, I thought the two of them were together already in their own time.

If you're serious about pursuing a more intimate relationship with your servant, you should throw in a bit of playful flattery. Like, how Roland must be an even bigger dummy than Astie told you for not wanting him exactly like he is.

I'm curious: does he want to go back to Roland in their time or remain here with him? That can make a difference between "I need to protect this world for my love if nothing else" and "fuck this, I'm going back in time!".
Sure, Astie wouldn't want to destroy the world if he can avoid it. But given the choice between love and Armageddon that will not affect him... Not a simple choice.

"Well..." I manage. "I have to say. I don't know what he missed."

"What?"

"Rather... I wonder how he never... how you two never became a..." I gesture uselessly. "A thing. I mean, how could anyone pass you up?"

He nearly runs a red light, his face going the same color as he stops suddenly.

"It... We... Well. Er. He had a wife, see, and we, uh, we both, I thought, well, maybe uhm, If... Well, I thought..."

"Green light." I say, and he takes off, his head leaned a little forward to shade his eyes. "I told him, I told him, he.... we'd... I'd always remember... Because of the ribbons. When he lost his wits, I would... I would remember us for him. And when he came back, when he came back, I'd t-tell him all the stories..."

Watch the road, gobshite. If you get Master Luke killed by wrapping this thing around a tree, I'll break into the Throne of Heroes and throw your ass out.

A-anyway...I-it's not like we think you and Master would be cute together or anything...s-stupid Rider
>>
>>20155333
Okay Master, this is sort of a big deal, so don't overreact. Ask him if he wants to pull over to talk for a minute. If he doesn't want to, then let him keep driving. If he does, however, pull over, offer him a hug, from friend to friend. Building bonds is important. One thing though, DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! I don't want to have to help bail your happy ass out of an ambush.

He does so, and I put my hand on his shoulder. Suddenly he pulls me into a hug, weeping into my shirt.

Something... isn't right here. Didn't he succeed, in his legend? He got the wits back, right? I hold him back anyway, gently stroking his soft, pink hair until he calms and just rests against me. I sense it.

Another Servant and Master.

Across the road, a man with a gruff look - grungy. He wears a wide hat, and has a gun in a holster. Beside him sits a black man, wearing bright blue colors. I don't alert Rider just yet.

I, uh.

I think he fell asleep.

Priorities:

"New friends." I say, nodding to them.

We approach. The Master stands up suddenly, and I hold my hands up.
"Don't worry. We aren't here to fight."

He nods. The servant speaks up.

"Apologies." he says, in a slightly deep voice. "I am Archer. This is my master. He has been... er, he has lost the ability to speak. We are uncertain why, though he constantly complains of a woman in a trenchcoat, my eyes would have seen such thing. What business do you have with us?" he asks.

Master, we do need an Archer. Suggest to them meeting Jeanne tomorrow. Imply that the nature of this war may be more destructive than anyone thought. Since she's a Ruler, no traps (aside from Astie) should be expected, so they shouldn't have any reason to worry. Suggest to them to check with Jeanne if they don't believe.

"Well, that all depends. If you are an honorable man, and your Master is the same, I'd like to propose we ally for the time being. Especially because I have a good idea as to why your Master can't speak anymore.

It seems Carmen Sandiego is in this war. She stole that master's voice, as well as Rider's ice cream the other day.

Stick to the plan, master. Refer to Astolfo as 'She' at all times, she's supposed to be a little girl, remember? Maybe it's time to make a temporary alliance with these guys.
>>
>>20156135
We happen to have found two of the greatest threats in the grail war, one who has a master we've killed - the other with a servant we have no idea how to kill, though she is currently friendly with us.

Inform them about caster and say that in a war this big it'd be nice to have another person to watch our backs.

Also, don't kill any other Servants, or the world will end. It's very important we tell them that.

"As an offer of goodwill, I think it was Carmen Sandiego."

The Master hums a little tune, then jumps from his seat, pointing. The servant translates, deadpan.

"Yo, that is the bitch. That is the bitch. She made to kiss me, 'dawg' and then she touched my neck, the bitch, and now I can't fucking sing no more. That's the bitch. That's the one, man. That's the one."

He pauses.
"Excuse me while we confer..."

he turns and walks away with his Master, then they return. Again, the Servant deadpans.

"Yo, you done me a 'solid'. What do you need, brother? Just ask, man, we owe you, we owe you so bad. So long as I get time to shank that bitch, yo." he sighs, shaking his head.

"Yeah, I just..." he sighs. "I don't often tell people about that. It's shameful."

"No shame there." I say. "From all the sources I hear, Roland was a great man. Nothing wrong with wanting to be close to that."

He flushes more.
"I know. It's just a silly reason to want the grail. I should move on, right?" he laughs quietly, nervously as we walk and wait at a crossing.

On the other side... A young man and a woman wait.

He has no sleeves, and wears a long duster. His hair is slightly gray, but looks young. A hooded fellow runs by and snatches the young woman's purse, and he raises one arm, turning to the foe...

And VANISHES. He appears beyond the purse snatcher, who is in the god-damned air, and gestures with with a grunt - he slams into the ground.

"what." I barely manage, as he takes the purse from the unconscious fellow, and the pair continue on. "did I just witness."

Entirely up to you Rider.

Caster!

Oh, we have to talk to these people. Hail them, master!
>>
>>20157405
Well, the Servant didn't kill him. I'm going to take that as a good sign.
>>
>>20157405
Try to approach them. Be polite. If they don't react on you or don't want to talk, don't pressure it.
>>
>>20157405

Check it out. It ought to be interesting if nothing else. And he didn't kill the guy so danger is probably minimal.
>>
>>20157627
Yeah, this. You don't want to tangle with this guy right now if you can possibly avoid it.
>>
>>20157627
This.

We catch up with them and walk directly beside them. They are definitely Servant and Master. Astolpho speaks up first.

"That was some excellent technique." he says. The man chuckles, stretching his right arm with a series of pops.

"Thanks. I heard you did some pretty crazy shit yourself." he replies.

Aw, shit. "The horse thing, that was really awesome."

Well... that's troubling.

Ask him if he's sorry he didn't see the show from a better seat, since he clearly wasn't anywhere around when we saw him. If we're lucky he might give up a clue as to the method he used to observe (or if he just heard it from Ganon, which is also possible)

Well, then. This promises to be interesting. See you soon, Master Luke.

WILL THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER FIGHT US? WILL WE BE ABLE TO FORM ANOTHER TENTATIVE ALLIANCE? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT EPISODE OF FATE/CLUSTERFUCK ON SATURDAY!

Nice work, EGO. Also, Black Bob's sudden appearance that activated Mental Pollution was glorious.

Nice to see the caster that nuked 3 other masters/servants listed.
