"About me?! Oh, Goshujin-sama! You're hitting on this poor innocent girl already?! Eyaaaa~!"
She giggled for a bit.
"Ahem. Well, I think you know pretty much everything about me~! You little stalker, you~! I mean, I am a Heroic Spirit after all, we're all famous! The only thing you probably don't know is that I'm a goddess. An honest-to-goodness deity! Weeell~! Enough about me! Tell me about my cute little Master!"

"Hardly innocent..." Wes mumbled under his breath. She was right though. Most of the stuff he already knew. Her time in the palace, her exposure by the omnyoudo and wait what?
Wes' brain stopped for a minute. "A... goddess? But-but you're a kitsune, aren't you? How is a kitsune a goddess?!" And how did that count as irrelevant side information?!

Saber, Breten Residence
Ah, there didn't seem to be any alcohol, much to her Saber's dismay. She merely sighed. One couldn't have everything they wanted in the world, she thought. "It is fine, Praetor, it is but a minor inconvenience."
That look on Master's face...
"Is there something you would like to ask me? I am an open book, you know." Saber walked on over and found herself a nice, comfortable seat. She sat with one leg over the other and her hands clasped on her stomach. "Come, Master, I say again, ask me whatever you like." the young woman smiled toward the magus known as Yuna. If they were going to have a lasting relationship, it was better to get trivial things out of the way now.
Jessica, Harway Manor
"Ah, you're quiet now, are you Archer? Deep in thought?" even given the atmosphere, it was time Jessica had some fun with him. She couldn't tell what he was thinking right then. The connection between Master and Servant was made just moments ago, so it is to be expected it's not that strong as of yet.
No, no, she couldn't do that. He was quiet, which was very unlike him. She could tell even after only knowing him a few short minutes. "What's on your mind, Archer?" she said with the intent of listening to everything the man had to say, even if it was harmful to her.
The Church, Jeanne
The Servant summoned forth to the class of Ruler, Jeanne de'Arc, sat in a church pew right up front near the altar. She looked over the Holy Bible, reading the beginning of Genesis once again.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
"And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
She read out loud. Her soft voice echoed in the darkness. No one was there, no one to listen to His holy word. "Hm?" she sensed it. A Servant and master on there way to His holy place. She closed the book and placed it down onto the now empty pew as she sat up. "Visitors." she said to herself as she moved forward and made her way down the aisle of red. With each step, she drew closer to the church entrance.
The doors opened, and she awaited the newcomers to the Holy Grail War.

Tammy
She could not help but smile at her Master's reaction.
"Oh, Goshujin-Sama, why are you so surprised? I mean a regular kitsune can't be this cute, right?"
She cleared her throat.
"Well,truth is, no one really knows what I'm about to tell you. The one history knows as Tamamo-No-Mae ,me,is actually quite wrong. In truth I am an avatar of Amaterasu, the sun goddess. The facet of her personality who incarnated in the human world. Why? Well..When I, that is to say, Amaterasu, saw how happy the humans were, how glad they were to be of service, well, I wanted that too. I wanted to know the feeling of serving someone. Problem was, I was a mighty goddess. So! Poof! Tamamo-No-Mae was born! I chose a certain Emperor, he would be the one I served. The rest, you already know. How splendid THAT turned out, right? Silly Goddess, wanting to be human. Still, I still have that desire. The desire to serve, to love. So, in a way, I don't need the Grail. You're enough for me...Goshujin-sama..."
She was much more serious than he had ever seen her. Sadness flowed from every word.
Mike
The young man saw the doors of the church opening.
"About time..."
Then he saw Jeanne. Wow. He was not expecting THAT. He thought the overseer would be some old coot, but WOW.
"...Oh, hi babe. Name's Mike. I'm a Master. Who are you?"

Wes
Wes was a little overcome by this. Not just by the fact that Tamamo was a goddess (or that Amaterasu was real, thus invalidating most other conventional organized religions), but by her story too. Under any normal circumstance, the only thing he'd be concerned with was how fascinatingly wrong the legends were. But to see Tamamo, and look her in the eyes while she said those words... he couldn't take it!
He quickly flipped over and covered himself, trying to hide his face. "Don't just spring stuff like that on people! Five minutes ago you were talking about going shopping tomorrow!"
Silence hung over them as Wes tried to figure out what to say next, if he could get his brain to work at all. "A-Anyway, if you want me to be that for you... I won't object. If you think I can, I will. So..." His words hung in the air. Was he sure about this? I mean, he liked Tamamo sure, but did he like Tamamo? Could he like Tamamo? This was a war, if they didn't win, she'd die, even if he did find himself falling in love with her. Was he really prepared for this?
Archer
He steeled his face with his back to Jessica, regaining his composure. "It's nothing."
"Anyway," he said, turning back to business, "We should visit the Overseer of the War as soon as possible. It'd be best if you made your status as a Master known. Do you know where the Church is?" He hoped that he could quell her interest like this. No good would come from him continuing to flap his gums.

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Redwood Suburbs
Oh, well, um... I guess we should see the overseer first... replied Faust, the enthusiasm in her tone dying. The overseer... from what she knew given the knowledge imparted to her upon summoning, would be human. She didn't like talking to humans... well, her Master was different in that her Master had summoned her and all. But other humans, that was just... that wasn't nice at all, it just... she didn't want them to see her. She'd just stay in spirit form, she didn't want to be seen or heard by them.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Wow, look at him. He really was endearing, wasn't he? Well, maybe this time...Maybe he will be...
Enough thoughts like that! Majorly depressing.
Once again, she tackle-hugged her Master.
"Don't you worry about me, Goshujin-Samaa~! Let's focus on you for now! We'll go shopping, then we'll win the War. That reminds me, you haven't told me your wish yet..."

Planet-Killer
As the church door opened and revealed to both to his and his master's eyes the overseer of this version of the Grail war, Rider silently groaned in displeasure at the sight he beheld; for the overseer was a knight of the medieval era, warriors which the Asiatic servant held little love or respect for as he believed that the chivalry that they followed was a farce and a sign of their hypocrisy.
"Wonderful..."

Jessica, GOTTA GO FAST TO THE CHURCH
"Ah, you're right, Archer." Jessica stood up and smiled. She worked her way around the coffee table. Immediately, the magic circuits in her legs lit up. "ARCHER, COME ON." she gripped Archer by the colar and she was a blur.
She kicked the door open.
Down each flight of stairs, she was still a blur.
Her foot steps were inhuman.
Each step.
Faster faster faster faster she went.
Jessica had to go fast.
Very fast.
She handled Archer as if he was weightless. Jessica was acting a bit hyper.
Out one alley, into another and another, moving at speeds that would dwarf a car's own.
A mysterious theme tune began to play.. somewhere, some how.
"Huff..." Jessica breathed out as she skid to a stop only a half-mile away from the church. She set down Archer as if he was a grocery bag...
"Here we are, Archer." she immediately returned to her calm disposition with a warm smile.
Perhaps this girl had hidden depths.
Jeanne, The Church
The young girl stand there, now alone with two men, a Master and a Servant respectfully. "You who walk in the house of our Lord." she began, that same smile on her face, "What would you ask of me, the Overseer of this Holy Grail War?"

Wes
"My wish?" Wes said, not bothering to say anything anymore about her incessant violation of his personal space. "I..." He considered this. Did he have an actual wish for the Grail? Something he wanted more than anything else? ...
"I guess... I don't have one," he said much more simply, now that they on a topic he was slightly more comfortable with. "I honestly just wanted to meet you." Silence. "... I can't believe I just said something that corny."
He laughed a little. "I just wanted to meet one of you guys. Meet a hero. I don't know if I told you this, but I'm actually the same age as my brother, Paul. Difference is, I was born with a congenital heart defect."
He saw Tamamo's blank expression. Apparently the Grail didn't tell them everything... "It's when you're born and your heart didn't come out quite right," he said. "Most of my heart was mixed up and jumbled. The blood wasn't going where it needed to go, and I was dying. They had to perform emergency surgery to correct it, but they could only do so much. They got my heart working, but it was still weak. Really weak."
He continued, smiling in an almost sad way. "I could never really do anything growing up. Nothing that my brother could, anyway. It was like that with a lot of things. If I exerted myself too much, my heart stopped keeping up with the workload, and I would always start to feel faint, and weak. Sometimes I'd pass out. They couldn't teach me magic because I couldn't channel the energy I needed for very long without my heart giving out. They would've put me up for adoption, but nobody would take me. No mage families want an heir who can't use their magic, and social services aren't allowed to take in children with health conditions like mine. So they were stuck with me."
By "they", the only ones someone could assume he meant were his father and brother. "It wasn't too bad, really. It's not like they beat me or anything like that. I was just alone most of the time. Father was always training Paul since I turned out to be a failure, and Paul never spent any time with me either. So I had to entertain myself. That's where dad's library always came in. He had every kind of book imaginable in there. I didn't have anything better to do, since I couldn't play or practice magic. So I started reading. Science, mathematics, music, fiction, non-fiction, history, anthropology. Every kind of book you can think of. But my favorites were always the folk tales, and the mythology compendiums. I don't know where he got them, or why he had them, but they were always my favorites. Everything else was useful knowledge, but it was so... dull. Those books were like a treat to me. I always loved finding a new one, and reading the stories over and over again. Eventually, I finished my father's library, but I still kept reading his books. Those stories were as a part of me as an infant's first bed-time story. I grew up with them, and their heroes."
"I guess that was my wish. I just wanted to meet one of my childhood idols." He smiled at Tamamo. "Thanks for helping make that wish come true."
Archer
The nameless hero's plan had worked well. A little too well, as it turned out.
"The world... it spins... 'round and 'round." Archer muttered, still a little loopy from being dragged halfway across town. What kind of monster speed was that? That was almost D or C rank Agility. That was as fast as him! How much energy was she pouring into herself to do that?
Eventually he straightened himself out, and dusted off his coat. "Don't do that. Ever again."

"Huh? I guess... It never really occurred to me. It's something you learn to live with, I think. Besides, there really wouldn't be much of a point to it now. It might just be better to give Father Akasha, like he wants." Wes said, frowning. Sure, he said he had no wish, but something about the idea of using his wish for something like Akasha just didn't sit well with him, even if he'd tried to tell himself it would be better.

Wes smiled. "Thanks Tamamo, but... well, it's not that easy. Father's been waiting a long time for this opportunity, so if I don't bring him the Grail, he'll get really mad." His smile took on a saddened expression. "If that happens, he might not think keeping me around is such a good idea after all. I don't really know why he didn't just get rid of me in the first place, but if I disobey him here, then he's sure to just get rid of me at best. I don't really know what I'd do after that. I'd have no one..."
Paul Downgate, Archwood Ghetto
That little shit. That little shit. That little shit that little shit that little shit! He was gonna kill that fucking little shit! "Oh! Goshujin-sama!" he mimed in a mocking high-pitched voice. "That was supposed to be my Servant, you worthless fuckup! Not yours!"
Not to mention she had actually been pretty hot, too. But that little shit Wes took her! Humiliated him! Stole his Servant! His Servant! Well, he didn't let people get away with taking what was his.
He finished the circle, drawn in blood. "Alright, come on! We can still make the cutoff! Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone. The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg."
The circle began to glow, and Paul smiled. Yeah, that was it. "The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.
Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill).
Repeat every five times. Simply, shatter once filled. Come onnnn..."
He cleared his throat. " ――――I announce. Your self is under me, my doom is in your sword. In accordance with the resort of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer. Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead."
Paul grit his teeth. This was taking too long! "Fucking come on! You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――！"
And then the room exploded in light.

A large ball of a blue lightning appeared in the center of the circle. It grew and lapsed in strange intervals. Outward and inward it went, the magical energy surging violently.
Crack...
The ball of light fractured, cracked like an egg. Soon, the crack multiplied itself, expanding across the glowing sphere of pure light.
Boom...
It busted just like that, and in its stead stood a tall man with a glowing chest, pale skin and dead eyes. A large sword on his back. It was the Heroic Spirit of Sigurd only known by Siegfried.
"... ... ..." he said nothing. He couldn't say anything. A silent knight, he was. He soon kneeled down, and he pledged his allegiance to the Master that had summoned him.

"Eh?" He blinked. "You can do that?!"
Suddenly, worlds of possibilities opened up. Tamamo didn't have to go away when the War ended! She could stay. He could finally have a friend, or... He got a little embarrassed at that prospect, something he'd conveniently forgotten as a means of continuing the conversation.
"Then yeah! Yeah we could do that! That's what I'll wish for!"
Paul Downgate, Archwood Ghetto
He felt the red sting on the back of his hand. "Hell yeah!"
He turned to the kneeling zombie on the floor, looking him over. "So you're my Servant, huh? Let me guess, Saber, right?" He waited for a response but didn't get one.
"Well, whatever. How about a snack?" He turned to the pile of people knocked out in the corner. They were mostly homeless, hobos and squatters. Some of them were gangbangers, but they weren't too common. All in all, there were about ten of them. Paul motioned to them with his thumb. "Go on, eat up. We probably don't need it to take on his puny Caster, but I gathered 'em up anyway, so they might as well not go to waste."

"You want fancy dresses? I'm sure I can find something like that," Rachel said, smiling down at the Servant. Though it was nice to be able to mother the girl anyway, this had an added benefit: when it came to working out how to win the actual war, Jack would be much more responsive to her suggestions and... that would help her win, she hoped. Hoping that the girl wouldn't do anything too strange, Rachel turned to the man at the desk and asked him if he knew of any more expensive shops selling children's clothes. It was highly unlikely that she'd find the sort of thing Jack was asking for in anywhere cheap and it wasn't as if she had to be overly concerned about funds... unlike some masters.
Cheap Hotel, Archwood City
Heracles looked at the small girl like she'd grown another head for a second. Coming from the person that had killed the hydra and wrestled Cerberus before taking him home, this was a somewhat alarming expression, "Tell me, girl, how are you going to plan for enemy Servants before we have any idea of who's summoned? Imagine if Perseus had been summoned as Rider and you had planned for a knight in shining armour! Intelligence gathering is necessary before making any plans and we may as well combine business and pleasure."

"As you wish, Master," Lancelot replied, voice returning to its original even tone. Not that he was any more upbeat on the inside—there was still so much to atone for and he had only just begun... it would be a miracle if he had managed to pay for his sins by the end of the war, let alone the beginning, "Shall we go find your parents, now?"

"Th-thank you, mother..." Jack managed to murmur. She stayed close behind Rachel as she talked to the man, clinging to her mother's skirt as she tried to hide from sight. Her curiousity got the better of her a few times, leading her to peak out at the man, only to almost instantly hide back behind her mother in fright.
But... It was okay to be scared now. Mother would take good care of her. Mother would treat her nice. Mother wouldn't let anyone hurt her anymore. Mother loved her, and she loved mother.

Yuna shook her head.
"It's fine, Saber. I found it a bit odd that you don't have a wish, but I'll respect your silence," she said quietly, making sure to look the Servant in the eye. The magus smiled slightly, settling into a seat of her own across from Saber.
"Do you have any plans for this War? Any abilities I can take special advantage of? For that matter, anything you like to do? You might be here for a while; if there's something you want to do, we might be able to make time..."
She trailed off. That didn't sound very professional, did it? Oh well.

Hikaru blinked, immediately picking up on her Servant's hesitance. She sounded nervous...
She wanted to whack herself on the head when she realized. Of course, her Servant was shy! She couldn't actually do much about that, though, so she just thought encouragingly, Hey, I'm sure the Overseer is nice. They have to deal with all the other Masters, so they can't be anyone too impatient or anything. And Gretchen and I will both be there.

Chieko's mouth slowly hung open. She... she couldn't argue with that. She didn't have information on the other Servants yet. If she wasn't mistaken, most of them were probably only recently summoned, and their Masters were likely displaying some level of caution. After a few moments of standing there with the inability to articulate her feelings, the magus girl let out an exasperated sigh. She brought her hand up lightly to her forehead, before taking a deep breath.
"I was going to deploy familiars to keep an eye on the other Masters," she said, focusing on the fact that Heracles had raised a good point as opposed to her general dissatisfaction with the situation, "But if we're going to go out ourselves, with have to do it subtly. I... at least wait until you get some modern clothing before walking around outside of spirit form! You wanted modern clothes, so..."
What excuse could Chieko even come up with for an eight foot tall giant of a man? This already was disrupting her planning, she was just-No, no, she had to stay calm. She wouldn't yell, she'd just keep the frustration internalized...
Redwood Suburbs
Well... I don't know... maybe, responded Faust, still discouraged. Regardless of what they were like, she didn't want to be seen or heard by whoever the overseer was. She just couldn't really bear it. It wasn't something she was equipped to deal with... even though she didn't like being in spirit form, she was going to stay in it while they visited the overseer. They would probably be there soon, after all... ... Gretchen agrees with you, but... I don't want to let them see me!
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
Jessica, Near The Church
"My apologies, Archer." Jessica said with a smile on her face. She likes to get crazy sometimes, and while this time it wasn't called for, she just couldn't help the urge. She giggled to herself and brought up a hand in a vain attempt to guise it with a cough. It didn't work and the laugh came out anyway. "Hehe—"
It hurts... a lot.
Jessica cringed. She felt the pain in her legs already set in. It was too abrupt and she never warmed up, so her legs are reacting to the strain she just set on them moments ago. It was her fault, just because she got hyper and carried away—
"Huff," she put all of her energy into her legs and walked forward, regardless of the pain. "Come, Archer, the Church awaits." she said as she moved on and down the sidewalk toward the Overseer's dwelling.
Bridget, Brunhild Residence, Archwood City
"I asked Father for the time only an hour ago and he said it was 10:12 at night..." she thought to herself for a minute. Maybe they could be in bed? Would they be out and about in the house at this time of night? "Maybe we should go to bed, Lancelot. I am rather tired..." the girl said, looking to the ground that she couldn't see.
Saber, Breten Residence
The sword-towing Servant sat there in the chair at ease as her Master spoke once again. She found it odd she didn't have a wish, did she? "I appreciate that, Praetor." she replied to the first thing she said. Yuna also asked about any plans for the war. Saber sighed, and then answered truthfully, "Master, we have no intelligence on the other Servants nor their Masters, so asking about plans before knowing anything about the opponent is full-hardy, no?" Saber smiled at Yuna's naivety.
"Ah, anything I like to do? I enjoy the theater, the arts, music! Food for the soul, you know? Ahem, I believe I satisfied your thirst for knowledge, Praetor?" and as easily as that, the small interview ended.
Siegfried, Archwood Ghetto
Just summoned into the darkness, just summoned to participate in the Grail War and the first thing, as a noble knight, he has to do is devour the souls of the innocent? Those who have no reason to be in the Grail War, those who have to die without cause. He couldn't speak in verbalize his disgust, so he could only do one thing—
Siegfried's hand reached out and gripped his Master by the throat. He misjudged him already. He was a vile devil, and it was his fault for JUST pleding his allegience two him only two seconds ago. Now that allegience is tarnished, the contract is null, and this man before him was not worthy of being his Master. He tightened his grip and raised Paul higher into the air...
Jeanne, The Church
Jeanne, the youthful girl that ruled the Grail War as the class of Ruler, was taken aback by Mike's comment of babe. "Babe? Is this some sort of flattery? In that case, I believe it's only right to thank you." Jeanne smiled and nodded. The man seemed nice enough but she could already see the color of his soul, dyed red by the blood of others. Although, she continued to smile. "And about other Masters and Servants? No, you two are the first to enter this place. That's all I can tell you regarding other participants of the Holy Grail War." she stopped there as she turned away.
"What else do you ask of me, Michael?" such a beautiful name drenched in blood. A true shame.

Archer
Archer watched Jessica as she limped towards the Church, trying her damnedest to conceal her exertion. He eyed her legs with suspicion. So that's how she's doing it.
Funneling enough prana to a specific part of the body allows the user to temporarily amplify it. Normally, this only produces limited results, but something in her was pushing it much farther. But as a result, the damage she sustained from using it was much greater.
Is there a single thing this fool does that doesn't hurt herself? he thought, sighing.
Paul
Holy shit!'
"I order you... not... to kill me!" It was no good. His hand still closed tight around his throat. "I said... I order you... goddammit!" His hand started to glow a bright red, and one of three Command Spells began to disappear. And then, like that, the hand began to loosen. Slowly, sure, like he was resisting every step of the way, but surely, Paul was lowered to the ground.
"What is your goddamn problem?! Trying to choke your Master? What are you, Berserker?!" He sputtered, still coughing. "Jesus christ! I gave you an order! Eat them!"

Redrock Town
Hikaru nodded.
Okay. There are a few abandoned areas on the edges of town; we can take a look at those later if you want, Amalia. I think we should see the Overseer first, though, she added, barely focusing in time to avoid slamming into a lamppost.
There's not too much around here, I don't think. If you want to explore the town, Archwood City is the big urban place. There's a lake up that way, she stretched above her head and pointed her finger north, and the town is that way, she adjusted her hand.
