Fate/Impetus

Archer materializes in the kitchen, wearing what was apparently her "casual" outfit. "What is it, Master?"

"I realized during our last battle that I may have offended you, telling you to go after that soldier. Care to explain?" he asks, pouring a small cup of green tea.

The samurai was silent for a long while. Finally, "It is not my place to criticize your actions, Master. I have agreed to serve you in this War, and will do so as best as I am able."

"Now that's all and good but I try to maintain a mutual respect between myself and whoever I work with."

At that point Archer seemed to realize avoiding the issue was not going to happen. "During the fight with Saber and Rin, you ordered me to attack a different enemy Master who was not capable of defending himself. I...did not want to. Saber would have been a far better target, and capable of defending himself against my arrows and blade."

Takeshi takes a sip, "Ah I see y our reasoning and shal aim to respect that in thefuture, unless no options are available of course."

Tomoe inclined her head in acknowledgment. "Thank you, Master."

"Oh where are my manners? Tea?" he pours another cup.

Archer accepted wordlessly.

Vince lifts his hand to look at it, and takes out the brass knuckles and takes a step back. "So, we got some cult ass shit going on... I don't know if I like it... "

Assassin sighed. "Of course. Summoned into the Holy Grail War and I get the Master who has no clue what's going on. The universe is toying with me."

Takeshi finishes the tea, notices Archer finished hers, washes both cups, and goes to bed.

Vince takes a step forward. " Cut the kinky master crap and get out of my room! Wait, no, pay for the carpet THEN Get the fuck out of my room! "

"As you command." Assassin vanished.

No, literally, just vanished.

Vince blinks a few times, then looks at the carpet and his hand. "I don't remember smoking weed, but I guess I did." He stumbles to his bed and flops down.

For some reason, Vince could tell that "Assassin" was still there. Somehow.

Vince is now the most paranoid person on the planet as he sits up, and turns everything over in a mad rush. He starts yelling gibberish, and his roomate nopes the heck out of the room as vince slowly looses his mind. He starts yelling, "Where the fuck are you? You finally go to your larp! Pissy Fish!"

<In order: I am investigating the premises, what is a larp, and finally: what?>

He starts freaking out more as he hears voices in his head.

Takeshi goes to bed.

Assassin reviewed the situation. His Master had absolutely no clue what was going on, was freaking out and liable to draw attention to himself.

So he decided not to say anything else. If his Master was incompetent, the better to leave him out of this. He'd win the Grail himself.

"I don't have any booze." Aaron responds.

"Damn. Ah well. I guess I'd better leave, then."

The next morning, the church overseer delivered an update. Assassin had been summoned.

Tonight, the Grail War began in earnest.

At around ten in the morning, a few things happened:

1. A plane arrived at Fuyuki Airport - Alice Gates is aboard
   
2. Fafnir disappeared from his throne.
   
3. Vince was approached by a young Japanese woman - she looked like she could be a student at the University, but he hadn't seen her before. And he'd remember - her hair was bright pink, and her eyes a sort of magenta shade.
   
4. Archer remained at her post on the roof.
   

Alice took the Silver Industries car to the temple that Aaron was staying at with all of the supplies. When she get to the temple her jaw drops at the wealth there "Wow." she said.

Aaron took the suitcase from her "This is a dragons temple Alice, take and touch nothing."

As if on cue, Caster materialized again. "Oh? A guest?"
