Rin nods. ".... I guess there's no reasoning with you." She says as though upset. something about her demeanor says she doesn't mean it though. "Listen, I had a thought as to helping Sakura. I'm going to go look into that, if you wouldn't mind waiting a minute."

I shrug and she leaves the room. While she's gone, I-

It occurs to me that we have plenty of bitches but no bros, unless you count Archer, but i would say he doesn't count for various reasons.

>>21770732
[x] Ask Ilya about her help.
As much as we need to get our hands on the Sheath at some point, Kirei said it would basically not help at all.

>>21771002
>Kirei said it would basically not help at all.
>Kirei said
Yes, and Kirei is SUCH a trustworthy source. Why don't we ask him about a blonde-haired asshole with a skateboard while we're on the "trust Kirei" train.

>>21771024
We have no reason to distrust him yet.
We'll, aside from the fact that he's a priest and therefore likely to be a pedophile.

>>21771024
I can't recall a single instance in F/SN where Kirei actually lies. He neglects to tell you things, sure, but he never says anything that is untrue.

Hes a pretty honest dude, you just have to ask the right questions.

I walk over to Saber. "Master, are you sure this is wise?"

"What do you mean?"

"Being together with so many other servants. Rider, Archer, soon Caster...."

"I see. Personally, Archer and I don't get along. I'm not sure about Caster either." I sigh. "Honestly though, in order to accomplish our immediate goals we need their help. I think that if nothing else we can trust them to the letter of the contract, if not the spirit."

"... 'Our' goals?" She asks with an arched eyebrow.

".... Yeah, alright. I guess they're more important to me than to you, but I'd rather not see Sakura die."

"I would rather she survived as well." Saber responds. "If her life was half as bad as Kirei suggested then I feel something of an obligation to help her as a knight." She gives me a level look. "Despite what's happened so far, we will eventually have to battle with Archer, Rider, and Caster. If you're always this compassionate, it might be best to distance ourselves from them slightly."

I sigh, knowing that she's right in a way. I look up at her. "... I'll consider it. But first, I was wondering if you could tell me more about your sheath."

"To help Sakura?"

"Among other things. If it's as potent as you said, it would certainly help Sakura recover from her injuries after the surgery."

She nods and begins to decribe it, with the white and blue, and the golden inlays. Somehow... "... I feel like I've seen that before." I tell her, shaking my head. "It's weird. I don't remember it, but-"

>>21771200

Saber nods. "It could be your connection with me allows for some bleed-through of emotion and memory. You seeing it might be related to my knowing it."

I nod after a moment. "Makes sense. Wait, Memory bleed-through?"

"Yes." Saber hesitates. "Master, I've been meaning to ask you about that dream-"

Before she can finish her thought, Rin returns from the back room. ".... She needs more energy to heal, but she can't build a surplus." She says as she approaches. She seems to be thinking out loud, as she glances at me. "An injection...?"

"Injection of what?" I ask, snapping her out of her daze.

"Eh-? Oh, Prana. I was just thinking that maybe it would help her heal if I gave her some of mine." Rin gestures towards the back room. Something tells me she isn't being completely honest.

Kirei, meanwhile, seems to have returned to Sakura's side in the back.

[ ] Check on Sakura.

>>21771209
>[ ] Ask Ilya about her help.
Curious about what it entails.

>>21771209
>[ ] Ask Ilya about her help.
Can't hurt to know all our options.

I leave Rin to her thoughts and go to speak to Ilya.

"I've never been inside of a church like this before." She comments, looking around as I walk up behind her. "It's peaceful but... sad. Like there was more mourning and pain than joyful worship."

"I kinda feel uneasy myself." I respond sitting down. "This place used to be an orphanage. After that fire from the last Grail war, all the kids who lost their families came here."

"Oh?" Ilya asked surprised. "That might explain it. Here I was worried it might be haunted or something." She says with a smile.

"Heh, yeah." I shake my head. "I don't think it would be haunted. Kirei was apparently an exorcist for the church before he took over here." We sit in silence for a moment. "You think you can help Sakura?"

"... In a way." She says. "The Einzbern family magical study revolves around the third magic. 'Heaven's Feel' as it's called, is the study of life and the soul." She explains. "Since so much of our magic is focused on the line between life and Death, I could use it to keep her from dieing."

"You could heal her?"

"No, but I could keep her from dieing." She sighs. "Death is a natural thing. Forcibly keeping something from dieing could cause incredible trauma even after they're fully healed. It's not something I'd even consider if Sakura was at all uncomfortable with it."

".... It's really that bad?"

>>21771479

"I can't speak from experience, as I've never died." she responds. "But I could force a severed Head to live, for days, weeks, years. They would be fully aware of everything, including the pain." She looks into some distance I can't see. "That's not exactly a 'nice' magic. It's not healing, it's just preventing death. But sometimes, death can be a mercy."

"..... Sounds like something it would be better to avoid."

"On the whole, yes. If you can't find that Sheath you spoke of I may have to do it if you want Sakura to live."

It would be worse. If there were gonna be a plot-relevant vamp they'd probably be one of the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors, who make Dracula look like Edward fucking Cullen on the threat scale. Or worse, a True Ancestor, but I don't even want to contemplate that.

>>21771743
There's only one-and-a-half True Ancestors left on the planet in this day and age, and Arcuied is pretty nice most of the time.

It's been stated in previous threads how boned we'd be if the OTHER half of a True Ancestor showed up.

Animated for your viewing pleasure.

I thank Ilya for wanting to help.

"I haven't done anything yet. Besides, more mages on my side would be a good thing if there really are Vampires running around."

.... I continue on despite that, and see Kirei, checking her temperature with the palm of his hand. He notices me enter. "Would you like some privacy?"

"If it's not too much of an inconvenience." I respond. He nods, and steps outside.

"Five minutes." As he says the words, Sakura begins to stir.

"Sempai?"

"I'm here."

Her eyes focus on me after a moment and she smiles. "Did something happen?"

"Not really. I might've found a way to help you, but I wanted to see how you were doing in case something did happen."

".... I had a nice dream." She responds, looking at the ceiling. "Peaceful, like all the trouble in the world was a long way away."

[ ] Ask her how she feels.
[ ] Ask her about Kirei.
[ ] Ask her about Ilya's help.
[ ] Ask her about her dream.

>>21771776
Do YOU want to contemplate how to kill Altrouge without Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and one of Gaia's Dots handy?

Dreams are always important. They mean stuff when magic is involved.

>>21771826
>[ ] Ask her about her dream.

>>21771826
>[x] Ask her about Ilya's help.

Mostly, if she's okay with being 'forced not to die' or whatever. It doesn't sound nice. In case of another tie, I'll change my vote to '[X] Ask her about her dream.'

>>21771826
Ask about the dream.

Dreams tend to be a big deal in the Nasuverse.

>>21771743

>True ancestors.

You mean other than the one disguised as Saber earlier?

>>21771826
[x] Ask her about her dream.

>>21771826
>[ ] Ask her about her dream.
Nice talk about nice things. Don't want to upset her.

Also, ya know, the 101% chance her dream probably contains some clue to something or other important.

>>21771842
Nah, the only way I can see an encounter with Altrouge ending is with GAME OVER - PRESS R TO TRY AGAIN.

>>21771864
PFFFFFF WAIT WUT NO.

There were a lot of things that might have been but I shall continue assuming it was Ciel, because MUH WAIFU , but a True Ancestor was not one of them.

"Tell me about the dream." I tell her as I sit down and take her hand.

"... You really want to hear? It's silly....."

"If it makes you happy it can't be that bad." I respond with a smile.

She smiles at me. "It was nothing special. I had a dream that we went to see the Cherry Blossoms. You, me, Nee-san and Rider."

"Really?" I smile back. "That sounds like it might be nice."

"Yeah." She responds, closing her eyes with a smile, like she's savoring it. "Maybe when this is all over....."

"Sure." I respond with a squeeze of her hand.

[ ] Ask her how she feels.
[ ] Ask her about Rider.
[ ] Ask her about Ilya's help.
[ ] Let her rest.

>>21771895

Blond girl, hunts dead apostles, red eyes, changed cloths but not appearance.

Come on bro, it's obvious who it was when you look at the hints.

>>21771864
She said she was from the church, right?
So probably Burial Squad, not true ancester

>>21771970

Yes! A quest thread I'm actually caught up on!
>3:00 am, has to finish making game for class
FUCK

>>21771970
[x] Ask her how she feels.

>>21771987

She didn't. she acted smug and superior, and said not a damn word about the church good or ill.

>>21771978
It wasn't just a change of clothes. She looked and sounded like Saber. The only thing that tipped us off was that her story didn't add up.

She also all but told us she was from the Burial Agency.

>>21771864
>>21771895
OH SHIT I MISSED THE LAST THREAD AND DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE UNTIL YOU MENTIONED THAT!

>>21771970

>>21771970
>[ ] Ask her about Ilya's help.
we only have 5 minutes guys, we already lost some of that.

>>21772034

I think we would have noticed her hair suddenly turn blue.

Also, go back and read the encounter. She says nothing about the church, but that she 'sensed' a disturbance like a Vampire would make.

Also, Arcuied has the power to warp reality according to her whim. She would be more than capable of a disguise a mortal could make with some putty and make-up in a couple of hours.

>>21771978
Just checked the last thread. Red eyes were never mentioned.

Also, Arcueid would have ripped our balls off in an instant with Marble Phantasm rather than randomly trying to swordfight us. That theory just doesn't add up.

>>21772088
ast thread DOES explicitly state "vastly different appearance" and her hair's canonically black, stylized as blue in the art.

>>21772091

>The Girl in front of me growls and her eyes turn red. "Be a dear and send her along, will you? I appear to be in mortal Danger."

She also said her movements were restricted for some reason. She might not be able to go full out right now.

>"I don't think I could face your servant with such restrictions anyway."

>>21772088
Not saying it is Ciel, though i would dearly love it to be. Just that its not Arcueid, no way no how. If she wanted to kill us we would have just exploded in a fountain of gore and that would be the end of it.

Odds are its a mystery 9th member of the Burial Agency, based of that clue we got two threads ago.

>Go to get drink.
>Return to this.

Fuck it, what's winning?

>>21772135
Ask how she feels is winning. Dammit.

>>21771970
>[ ] Ask her about Ilya's help.

>>21772144

Well, if you want to plead a case some people are currently more interested in bickering that voteing.

>>21772135
'Ask her how she feels' is leading by a wide margin on 2, while 'Ask about Ilya's help' and 'Let her rest' are neck and neck on 1 vote each.
4 votes total! Exciting stuff!

>>21772135
haha, we got so busy arguing we were forgetting to vote. Thats what you get for introducing a mystery character who may or may not be a surprise cameo of either of two different people.

>[ ] Let her rest.
I say leave her alone. No reason to get her all riled up and worried, especially when there is other shit we could be doing right now.

>>21772155
Alright. I say ask about Illya. We only have 5 min.

>>21772148
>>21772165
And now it's a three-way tie!
Nobody is voting for Rider, now that's an upset!

I voted this last time but they went with dream instead.

>>21772155

What a turnaround! Ilya's help jumps to an unbeatable lead!

>>21772167
>[ ] Ask her how she feels.
If we're going to have Caster RB Sakura, then we could just kill time and do this.
>[ ] Ask her about Rider.
A bit of a waste... (fuck, what do we know about her that's not metagaming?)
>[ ] Ask her about Ilya's help.
Keep our options open, we don't know if we could trust caster. {{Meta-gaming, we know she can hack the grail and she doesn't need to kill servants. She did it in one of the bad ends where shirou turned into a projection-wand. WE however don't know if she'll keep her side of the deal, although she was trustworthy in the past...}}
>[ ] Let her rest.
Kotomine's coming in what, 2-3 min? why bother with this?

"... Hey Sakura."

"... Yes Sempai?" I tried not to let my tone change too much, but it seems she noticed anyway.

"Ilya thinks she might be able to help you."

"What do you mean?"

"There's a parasite in you, connected both magically and physically."

"The Crest Worm." She says with a nod. "I was afraid that might be it."

"Kirei said he can remove it, but because of how deep it is inside you, you might not survive the procedure as-is."

"Oh..." I see a tear begin to well up in her eyes, as she looks at the ceiling.

"Hey, we've got good news. We have a way to remove it a lot safer if we can secure a bit of help, and even if we can't we've got weeks to think of an alternative." I give her hand a squeeze. "I don't want you to give up, because I'm not."

"Sempai...." she begins, turning to me. I see her trying to think of something else to say.

"Listen, Ilya.... made an offer to help. I'm hesitant to suggest it, but...."

"What is it?" She asks, a little more resolve in her voice.

"Her magic is about life and death. She can literally keep you from dieing during the procedure, but the way she described it working.... it wouldn't be pleasant. She said that dieing might be preferable to experiencing it."

Sakura's silent, thinking about it for a long minute. Then... "Sempai? When this is all over, can we really go and see the Cherry Blossoms?"

[ ] Of Course.
[ ] We all can. Together.
[ ] ..... When this is over, sure.

"We all can. Together."

"Sempai?"

"You said that's how it was in your dream, right? You, me, Rin? Hell Maybe even Rider and Saber depending on how things end up."

"... You really think....?"

"Of course. I'm not some Grand Sorcerer who can weave miracles. I'm not half the hero as the ones summoned in this war." I lean in and give her a gentle kiss on the forehead. "But I think I can manage to protect a handful of people."

She smiles and pulls me down into a hug. Her arms are weaker than they should be, but I don't resist her in the least. She whispers in my ear. "Well if your so determined to save me I can't just up and die while you think there's a chance." I can hear the resolve in her voice, along with the pain the simple action of a hug is causing.

"So I should tell Ilya?"

"....Yes. If she thinks she can help I'll just have to endure it."

I hear Kirei gently clearing his throat by the door. I lay Sakura down and tuck her back into the bed, before walking over to him.

"Emiya." He says plainly. "I understand your concern, and your desire to help her is admirable. But it might be better to let her rest."

"How long?"

"Until we can actually work on curing her." He responds. "The more time she spends awake the more her chances decrease."

"So no more waking her up?"

"Well, if something important happens I can keep her informed." He says with a shrug. "But for the most part, yes."

"Kirei, what do you know about Vampires?"

"...." He fixes me with a steady gaze. "You really think Vampires are involved?"

"I have my suspicions. I think that at the very least the fact that I was attacked by someone because of potential vampires would be a solid hint in that direction."

"A vampire hunter?" He says surprised. "They aren't from the Church."

"You're sure?"

"If they were from the Church, they would've spoken to me first." He responds. "Unless they decided I was a Heretic plotting evil, but then they would have come directly here to kill me in case I was in league with said Vampires."

"Is that something you're concerned about?"

"Not particularly." He responds. "Just pointing out why I don't think it's a Church sanctioned hunter."

"Who might be interested in hunting Vampires that isn't connected to the Church?"

".... Any reasonable person who knew of there existence?" He says, giving me a slightly incredulous look. "They're powerful, intelligent, feed on the bodies and souls of the living...." He begins to list off more reasons on his fingers. "... They have no sense of morality, consider killing humans to be a fun and productive use of their time, revel in violence.... this is of course after discarding the plethora of religious and philosophical reasons to hate them."

".... Alright then. Any way to narrow down the field?"

>>21772697

"Well for someone to display the powers you described they would need some degree of magic as well." He responds. "Meaning it was likely another Vampire or a member of the Burial Agency."

"...Who?"

"Radical sect within the Church that believes that it's acceptable to collar monsters and use them to hunt other monsters."

"I thought you said the Church wasn't involved? And why would another Vampire want them dead?"

"The Burial Agency doesn't always play by the same rules. That said, there's only one member that wouldn't at least give me the courtesy of letting me know they were coming, and they aren't exactly... subtle." He says, looking thoughtful. "As for other Vampires... well there could be any number of reasons. They apparently have something passing for laws and codes of conduct among their ranks. Apparently there's a True Ancestor type who runs around doing her best to kill them all, but she's been quiet for the last year or so."

"Wait, True Ancestor? There's more than one kind of Vampire?"

"... Yes, I suppose this would be confusing if all you grew up with were things like the novel 'Dracula'." Kirei says with a sigh. "Rin knows most of this already, so I'll just pass on what I need to to you....."

>>21772701

..... It takes almost two hours to impart his knowledge onto me.

"Not all of that will be relevant with the Vampire, of course." He says, finishing a cup of tea he brewed as we were talking. "Assuming it IS a Vampire. I'm hoping it isn't but there's too much possibility to leave it up in the air like that."

"..... Wow." I say, slightly shocked. "And killing them was your job for a while?"

"Well, actually I was more along the lines of hunting down particularly dangerous Magi. Anti-Vampire training was just a standard part of becoming an Executor." He responds calmly. "Hmmm... Look at the time. Might be best if we returned to our respective duties now."

"Duties?"

"You have a war to fight, and possibly a Vampire to hunt. I have a patient to Watch, a sermon to prepare, floors to sweep, lunch to cook...." he gives me a dismissive wave. "I don't mean to sound rude, but if you have no further business here I'd like you to leave the church. If nothing else I need to prepare for Caster's arrival and you can't be here for that."

Looking at the clock, it's almost 11:30.

>What do?

>>21772733
Talk to Ilya.

Caster should be here in half an hour, so we can't exactly go sprinting off anywhere at the moment.

>>21772733
"Well, have a nice day. If you need any extra hands for the vampire hunting let us know, I think I dislike vampires and it'd be a good chance to let our Servants stretch their legs and have legendary heroes from throughout history beat up creatures of the night.

Oh, and I set up a meeting here in half an hour, I hope you don't mind. We won't bother you, honest."

Then go talk to Ilya and get some time in with her.

>>21772746
This.

>>21772733
Go home. See if Archer can scout for vampires or that thing we fought near school.

>>21772637
Wait aren't we meeting with Caster here? Why do we need to leave?

>OOC: You can now assume Shirou has all the general vampire knowledge from the Type-Moon Wiki.

So, gentlemen, how many shapeshifters are running around our nice little town? Two? Or more?

Maybe, but we DO have a Servant at our disposal (yes I know he does too, but WE don't know that, as it were).

>>21772822
One confirmed in the Saber-impersonator, but likely two since according to the not-Saber someone was impersonating US the night before

>>21772867
We should ask Ilya about Lancer. Does she really have two Servants?

>>21772879
Thats a good point.

I'm inclined to think Bazett is still his master this time around, because as far as I know thats the only thing that explains him pulling out Fragglerock, but some solid info would be nice.

Calm your mad, bro. The bersercar is a joke from Carnival Phantasm, the eyesore router is, I assume, a reference to Tsukihime that I haven't gotten to yet and powernap is a pretty common phrase. Nothing to get angry about.

I think we need to take Fake Assassin's sword when he dies.

>>21775156
I assume you mean 'look at it before he dies' considering his weapon won't just be left behind.

>>21775181
Okay, we need to trace it ASAP. He is the best swordsman in the HGW and has an attack equal to True Magic. The only thing better than his sword in this war is Ea, which is off limits by its very nature.

>>21775181
It would, actually. The sword was his catalyst. It wasn't part of the package.

>>21775208
Was it? Don't recall that bit. Eh. Wonder how Caster got a hold of it though.

>>21775208

How?

Assassin himself was a hero that did not exist. He was a fake.

That 'his sword' would exist doesn't make sense at all.

>>21775245
Come to think of it, you raise a good point. The sword is thematically perfect for Shirou.

Delicious delaying tactics.

>>21775245
If I remember correctly, Fake Assassin never used that sword before the Grail War. It was a sword that SUPPOSEDLY belonged to Sasaki Kojiro, but probably belonged to someone else who served as inspiration for the legend. When it was used as a catalyst, the Grail grabbed Fake Assassin because he was "close enough" because of Tsubame Gaeshi.

>>21775156
And then we become Sasaki Kojiro, like in Lancer Gets Serious?

>>21776849
Never read it, but I figure our best bet is to take inspiration from him while we work on inheriting UBW from Archer.

>>21776887
I'd agree with this, but I don't we've spent enough time to learn from him, yet.

Didn't read any of the discussion...

How about trying to project the sheath for the lulz? I'm not talking from meta knowledge, but rather from the fact that Shirou already projected Noble Phantasms. So why shouldn't he attempt it if he already has a pretty good idea of what it looks like?

>>21777506
Shirou has to have actually seen the object in question at some point, in addition to being able to understand it as being a part of the/his world. But I do believe he manages to project it in Fate route?

>>21776887

Learning UBW should be up there with getting the harem.

Anyway, one thing to remember is that while we are on good terms with Ilya and I doubt she would send berserker to attack us while she is forcing Sakura to live she won't stop trying to win the war until we kill berserker.

>>21777715
Learning UBW is more important romance. UBW is our best/only chance against ranged opponents, some of which we know for a fact we have to fight, and is therefore required for survival, even if Tsubame Gaeshi can take out any close ranged heavy hitters we run into. But the odds of us running into Shiki, Arc, or ORT are unlikely.

>>21777768
...Can't we just summon a bow?
Fuck, we already did archery.

>>21777571
>I do believe he manages to project it in Fate route?
Yep. Even after returning it to Saber Avalon is supposed to be the only thing he could project perfectly since it was merged so closely with him. According to Word of God, in Fate, after he returns it he would be unable to project it.

It's Excalibur he can't project what with it being a divine construct and all.

>>21777783
As far as I am aware, the only attack that tops Gate of Babylon is Unlimited Blade Works. Some shitty little bow will never cut it.

>>21777821
I was answering to the "against ranged opponents" part.

>>21777827
Gate of Babylon is most certainly a ranged attack. And a defence. And a close ranged attack. And a supplementary technique. Really it is an all rounder, and a fairly flawless one.

>>21777847
It's also a party starter.

Hey, how about this: We go drinking with Gilgamesh.

>>21777847

But will it blend?

>>21777887
>>21777889
You know, it occurs to me that there are six classes unfilled and that there was also a family in the third, I think, HGW that could summon two Servants in one spot. They got Sabers? Anyway, we should fill up the rest of the classes and double up the Servant cast.

>>21777907
How long will the Grail War last, anyway?
If the time frame is long enough, we could get all seven servants in order to find a way of fullfilling their wishes without killing anyone.
Maybe by asking Gilgamesh nicely to restrain a vampire to feed the Grail.

>>21777937
Unless you want to take my advice and bring us up to about fifteen Servants minimum, only one Servant-Master pair can get a wish.

harem or no, having an Everyone Lives ending would be in line with these ideals.

Still count me down on learning more about Archer, though. Meta-knowledge say the poor bastard is always trying to save other people. What if we can save him from himself?


>>21777907
I recall something like that in 3rd Grail War, but it was more "I summoned the same Heroic Spirit, but in different classes". That being said, the HGW is a bunch of dickery if you have Mages who know their shit running it. The Avenger class Servant wasn't even supposed to be in it, but an Einzebern said "Fuck you!"and summoned one anyhow.

>>21777956
I'm not talking about wishes from the Grail (That fucker is corrupted, anyway), but rather about actual wishes - Caster wants to live with her master, for example, so she just needs a real body.

>>21777907
>>21777956
The fuck are you talking about? The dual Sabers thing in the third War was only because of the sorcery trait of their family and it allowed two different versions of the same Heroic Spirit to be summoned.

Because they're a bunch of cheating fucks who thought summoning the embodiment of all the world's evils would be a Good Idea™ and he'd ruin everyone's shit. Turns out he can but just not in the way they wanted.

As do I. Shit, Rin could turn Saber into a familiar. Couldn't she do that to all Servants? A Master would have tosupply the Servant with prana, mind yu, but still...

Nearly four hours later? Right then.

>Back. Let me catch up on what I missed, and apologize for being so freaking late.

I leave Kirei's study and see everyone waiting for me.

"What took so long, did something happen?" Ilya asks concerned.

"... Not exactly. Kirei pulled me aside and gave me a lesson in Vampire hunting." I respond. "I took advantage of it since as a former Executor he knows more than any of us, and if he's stuck here treating Sakura that means one of us will have to kill it."

"Assuming there actually is one." Rin says shaking her head. "I'm not convinced. I just don't think it quite adds up."

".... Well, If I have to choose between having to fight a super-powerful bloodsucking monster and having wasted a couple of hours I'm glad I learned it." I respond. "Right now, we need to think about our next move."

"I agree." Archer says surprisingly. "We need to either figure out the means and motives of this unknown party, or take out other participants in the Grail War." He looks at me. "Unfortunately, that leaves us with little option."

"How so?" Rin asks.

"Well we can't take out rider since we need her to guard Sakura. We can't kill Caster because we need her to help us on that count. If Assassin and Caster are allied that means we can't kill him either." He explains, counting them off on his fingers. "Unless you break things off with Shirou, I can't fight Saber until the last. That leaves Lancer and Berserker." He points at Ilya. "And since I'd rather not kill children, and we don't know where Lancer IS-" He leans back and shrugs, letting the point hang.

>>21785694

"... Come on." I say walking towards the door. "We'll think about it over lunch, maybe we'll come up with an idea."

"You really think it'll be that easy?" Archer asks, drawing me into the sights for a pessimistic attack.

"Maybe, maybe not. I do know however that I promised to take Ilya to a Ramen bar for lunch to thank her for helping me earlier." I respond with a shrug. "Might as well make a team-meeting out of it and kill two birds with one stone."

Archer sighs. "Well since Saber will be with you lot and I'd rather not continue to watch hormones in action if I can avoid it....."

"You want to go scouting?" Rin asks, not taking the bait.

"Might as well. Anything to suggest looking into?"

After lunch Shirou, Saber, Ilya and Rin should go to the docks. Dad's prana should be recognisable and we can go retrieve his things. Ilya would probably want to see them too and if we don't bring her now, I don't know how to bring her with an IC reason.

If we need a tie-breaker, though, change my vote to "Matou House." I want to know SOMETHING about the place we may be investigating later if we don't all get murdered first.

Maybe we can swing by the docks - pretty sure that was where Kiritsugu has his stash - and sniff it out if there's any sort of ward/repulsion-oriented bounded field.

"Maybe around the Matou house?" I ask. "We'll need advanced intel if we have to go there in force."

He looks to Rin for confirmation, and vanishes with a nod. We leave the Church a moment later, and begin walking down into Shinto proper. Along the way, I-

As a nice guy, I want to ask Rin how well she's holding up under all this stress (which she IS internalizing, whether she admits it or not).

As a smooth oeprator, I want to touch on the Rin issue, then wheedle Illya into REALLY liking us and our motives, and getting her to share personal histories with Illya, but Shirou was NEVER a smooth operator

>>21786145
Shirou isn't very socially adept. He's nimble, and badass, and very kindly, but he's not able to wheedle or manipulate or persuade very well.

(For a controversial analogy: If the Nasuverse were a World of Darkness game, Shirou would be primarily Physical as the Fightan man, Rin would be primarily Mental as The Mage who Knows Things, and Sakura would be primarily Social as someone who keep a lot of secrets.)

>>21786225
Also, put me down for nicely asking about Lancer. one less mystery for us to deal with

>>21786225
I know. I have played the VN. I was kidding/pointing out that we're ALREADY far smoother than canon Shirou.

"Hey Ilya." I ask, as we walk along. "You're Berserker's master?"

"Yep." She says turning to face me.

"Then why were you with Lancer that day Rin and I ran into you at the mall?"

"Eh? Lancer?" She tilts her head. "I don't what you're talking about. I haven't even met this war's Lancer."

Rin and I share a look. ".... so then who was that?"

"Berserker." She answers calmly. "Why would I trust the company of someone who wasn't my servant?" She hesitates as though realizing something. "No offense, Saber." She says with a slightly embarrassed bow.

"None taken." Saber responds, watching Ilya skip ahead slightly before giving me a questioning look. I shrug in response, equally baffled.

We reach the Ramen shop, and I pull up the seat nearest to the only other customer in the bar. "A bit friendly, are we? Sorry if our last encounter gave you the wrong idea."

"Must've been all the spandex." I return, after confirming the owner is out of earshot. "But I guess that's pretty uniform for a gay space pirate."

He gives a loud unconvincing laugh as he claps me on the back so hard my face almost hits the counter. "That's funny. You're a funny guy. I think I'll call you 'funny guy'. Asshole."

"Takes one to know one."

"Bitter?"

"You fucking stabbed me. With something you called your 'Gay Bulge'."

"So that's how it's gonna be then?" He asks with a smile. "Or do you think we can be civil through lunch?"

>>21786394

I note that the girls are all watching the casual banter in shock, Saber clearly debating drawing her sword.

[ ] Yes.
[ ] No.
[ ] We'll see.

>>21786402
>[ ] Yes.
Sure thing, Cap'n.

>>21786402
We'll see. Start hitting on the girls and our chances won't be so great, otherwise eh I'm not dead anymore so no harm no foul right?

>>21786402

[x] Yes

Oh ahaha. I am so glad I linked you the F/HA stuff.

>>21786394
>[ ] Yes.
God i fucking love Lancer.

Three Masters roll up on him while hes eating lunch, and he has the stones to talk shit.

>>21786402

"We'll see."

We need to bicker like an old married couple during every encounter.

Archer we snark with but we hate him. Lancer's the kind to talk shit while buying you a beer.

MY SIDES ARE MOVING ON THEIR OWN, ONIICHAN!

[X]Yes

No reason we deny Illya her promise ramen because of a gay space pirate's gay bulge.

"Yes. Assuming you can."

"Certainly." He leans back and winks at the girls accompanying me. "Laaadieeess~"

"No, bad Lancer." I tell him, smacking with the Newspaper he left on the counter.

"Keeping them all to your self?" He says with a nudge to the ribs."

"No, just keeping them away from you." I answer. "You're a bad influence, what with the Spandex and the Murder."

"Hey, I'm wearing fashionable clothing right now."

"You're wearing a Hawaiin print shirt and Cargo shorts. That's not exactly going to set the runway ablaze." Rin comments, finally taking a seat. She's apparently chosen to put Ilya between herself and Saber, with Saber taking the seat next to mine.

"You remind me of someone I used to know." He says with a smile. "She's the one who gave me my spear."

"Really?" Rin says, turning to him while revealing mild interest.

"Yeah. right after I gave her mine." He says with a smile. Rin turns crimson as he winks at her, and Saber merely keeps a level gaze.

Ilya however, finds him hilarious. "I think I know that story." She says. "Maybe you'd like to tell it?"

"Eh, I was planning to enjoy my Lunch first." He responds, looking at the man in the kitchen make the noodles. "Apparently my master wants me to investigate suspicious activity in town. Something about Vampires and rogue servants." He gives us a wary glance. "Maybe we could trade info under a short truce after lunch?"

>>21786711

[ ] Yes, more info is better for everyone.
[ ] No, Archer's head will explode into candy.
[ ] We'll talk terms after we eat. Let's not ruin the moment for Ilya.

Now is ramen time. Do not interrupt ramen time.

Later is fine, though.
