KSPAM PARTY PARTY PARTY I WANNA HAVE A PARTY from PARTY ROCK Since: Oct, 2009 Relationship Status: Giving love a bad name
PARTY PARTY PARTY I WANNA HAVE A PARTY
#51: Apr 25th 2012 at 4:25:26 PM

Pierre, Pierre's hotel room

Pierre hmphed in appreciation.

"If half the things you say are true, I certainly hope so."

And he meant it. Although the Caster class was commonly considered weak, it appeared he'd summoned a particularly powerful one. Lucky him.

Scáthach, Makiri Mansion

"You summoned me," Scáthach said simply. "Of course, you put a little more into it than most, which explains why you got me instead of junior."

She drank the whiskey given to her with Scottish ferocity, sighing contentedly. "This is good, y'know. Real good. Whiskey and a fruit basket of prana. You sure know how to treat a lady, Mr. Masou," she said, smiling.

Saber grinned cracking one of his great knuckles as he said "Well said, Fournier"

Just as he said that however, his features started to become incredibly indistinct, his physical form fading away as if it were mist and then rearranging itself in an entirely new shape.

After the process was done, the figure standing in front of Alphonse was very different from the old grizzled warrior that he summoned. Indeed, he was now staring at a pretty young woman with short golden colored hair dressed in a modest but well made dark violet dress. If anything remained of the old warrior were his vibrant yet wise green eyes as well as his cheeky grin on these new, beautiful features.

"Well, what do you say Fournier? I doubt anyone will believe that this body hides the identity of the mighty Uther Pendragon" says the violet Saber with booming, though now very feminine, voice as she brought a hand to her modest chest to make emphasis.

Despite having been the one to ask for it, the fast shapeshifting took the mage by surprise. For a moment he could not help but stand and admire the perfection of Saber's shapeshifting. He had seen shapeshifting spells before, even tried to perform them himself in the past, but this...this was masterful. There was not a single trace of Saber's previous appearance. Servants really were something else.

"Excellent, Saber," he said with a smile. "The hair in particular is a very nice touch. You will fit right in. Now then, let us be off."

Alphonse retrieved his items, folding the maps nicely so that they fit into a secret compartment in the small briefcase he carried around. Then he got his revolver from the bedroom, draping it in shadows to turn it invisible and then placing it on the inside of his jacket.

Then, after having made sure there was nothing suspicious for anyone who suddenly visited the apartment to find, Alphonse stepped out onto the streets of Berlin.

"Ehe, I did think the hair would be welcomed by these Germans of yours, at least from what the Grail told me" said Saber as he followed his Master outside into the streets.

"Yes, it fits their ideal."

The moment they stepped onto the street, Alphonse immediately switched over from his native French to fluent German, and talked in a low voice. The Berliners were on edge these days; even the faintest whisper of a foreign language (especially an Allied language) would give them away in an instant. He went straight on, however.

"First, we will head towards an apartment complex I found last week. If anyone asks, we are inspectors looking for spies that may be hiding away in abandoned apartments. I do not have the papers for it, however, so we should not press it."

"Hmm... with such a story wouldn't people wonder about my presence in such affairs?" Uther wondered, speaking now in fluent German thanks to the knowledge provided by the Grail.

"Hmmm I could change into one of their uniforms... though if we are looking for spies maybe it could be justified for us to be in civilian garb. I guess I'm worrying too much, if anyone questions for a young lady to be in the search of spies then I can always demonstrate how I'm the muscle in this operation" said Uther.

Archer, Tohsaka Residence (Berlin)

"Hmmm, right... Let's see, then..." Archer pored over the maps for what seemed like an age, trying to get the best impression of the land surrounding them. He ran his fingers across the terrain drawn out around them, making the occasional sound of contemplation.

"Well, it's not a bad spot to be in, I suppose," he said, not taking his eyes off the map. "We're relatively isolated, there's lots of cover nearby, and if we set things up right it'll be difficult for anyone to intrude without our knowing..."

Archer's hands made a loud boom as he clapped them together, and he raised his head to look Mirai in the eye again. "All in all, I think I can work with this. Although I suppose I'll have to set up a few... Deterrences sooner or later, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Now, Lady Tohsaka... How do you plan to go about this?" The question came completely out of the blue, and despite the fact that he still had that smile on his face, it was clear that he was about to ask something rather serious. "Tell me, my Master... What's your goal for this war?"

Mirai nodded seriously, glancing over the maps the way she had seen Archer do as she thought.

Finally, she smiled slightly, returning her Servant's gaze.

"My plan for the War, to be quite honest, is to try and stay out of everyone's way. Our location—and your talents—will make it relatively easy to tell if anyone's trying to target us specifically. Of course we need to head to see the Supervisor soon, and if we can get a gauge of the other Masters we might need to change our plans a bit, but..." She shrugged, well aware that she had probably avoided Archer's main question.

"Ah, and..." she nodded to herself. "Mirai is fine, as well."

"Then Mirai it is, m'lady," Archer nodded in return. "And that is a fine plan. No need to expend our strength when everyone else can do the work for us, right?" Again, that smile. Archer smiled an awful lot, just like a child who was over-eager for playtime.

The green bowman took a moment to adjust his quiver, before pulling his hood back over his head. "So... We've to see the supervisor, then? Right, let's get cracking then! Even better, getting out there will give us a better lay of the land than any map. Now, just one thing... Would you prefer it if I accompanied you in spirit form, or as I am now?"

Mirai nodded, considering the information Archer had given her. Finally, she nodded slightly, her black hair falling forward a little as she did.

"If you'd like to study the maps as we go, stick to solid form; we can pretend you're a tourist," she suggested quietly. "Otherwise spirit form, please. Do you have any other questions for me?"

As she spoke, she pulled on a jacket and grabbed a bottle of water off the table. Or, to be more specific, her coat settled on her and she caught the bottle as a sudden gust of wind blew it—but nothing else—off the nearby counter. Mirai smiled. Even little bits of practice were nice, she mused as her Circuits faded back into her arm. They were visible on both hands from the middle of the forearm up to the elbow, but the coat she had on would hide the glow.

"Ready, Archer?" she asked, her voice slightly more eager.

Masou Makiri, [Makiri Mansion, Dinning Hall]

"Thank you, m’lady. I try"

Masou smiled with false humility and nodded his thanks to the compliment.

"I fear you misunderstood me. I am perfectly aware about the fortuitous circumstances that allowed me to summon you instead of your pupil. After all, the grand prize for winning this war is a perfect wish-making device. I can’t help but be curious about what your wish once we obtain the Grail."

He raised his hand, as if to prevent any interruption from Scáthach and continued.

"Let me explain: I am not so foolish to expect a blind loyalty from such a magnificent being like you are, nor do I want to base our partnership on something so crude as the command seals on my arm. The purpose of this conversation will allow us to know each other a little better…"

Masou chuckled when he used to phrase, conscious that it was more fitting for a pair of teenagers deeply in love than a Master/Servant duo.

"…and to create the terms and a common goal of our partnership, so that we can trust each other within reasonable bounds and fully concentrate on eliminating the opposition."


Rider, [Abandoned Warehouse]

"Don’t worry about that, I can move just like a ghost, when I want it."

Rider chuckled enjoying his little jest that would be obvious to anyone who knew true capabilities of a Servant. Replying to Jesses gaze with one of his own, and answered the old mans question.

"As for what I would want to do… I am quite curious about the opposition we will face in our little struggle. After all, the greatness of a man is best shown by the power of his enemies eh? I hope the other Heroic Spirits summoned here won’t disappoint."

Jesse Tavers with Rider [Warehouse]

"I just want this battle to be over quick... as I said, I don't know when I'll catch ill and be bed ridden or.. otherwise." Jesse said, a frown coming across his face. His worries were well founded, if anything. He was in his mid-sixties. His body wasn't like it used to be, even if he could use magic.

"Ha... the other spirits.. hopefully they'll be willing to go easy on an old bag of dirt, eh? .. Ha... I'm probably not that lucky." his smile returned with a laugh.


Caster with Pierre [Hotel Room]

Oh, the different things she could do right now. Show off some magic in front of the young man? No, that was too show boaty. How about kiss him? No, there was no reason that prompted that unless it was a mana transfer. Ah, then the idea clicked. "Hmmm..." she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. "Ah, Master," Caster said as she pulled herself up. She sat at a ninety-degree angle, looking toward the only male in the room.

"Can you show me around town? I know this is a bit of a strange... request but I haven't seen this world in so long. And, if we're lucky, we'll probably find an enemy Master. What do you say?~"

Pierre, Pierre's hotel room

Hmmm. A pretty lady asking him out for a walk through the town. What could possibly go wrong?

I could get found out and put in front of a firing squad, he thought grimly.

But then he considered his Servant. He couldn't just neglect her. There was a drastic difference between business and abuse. And besides, she did raise a valid point. Something good could come of this. Perhaps not an encounter (hopefully not) but a chance to gather intel, maybe?

He sighed. "Alright, I suppose there's no harm in it. If," he raised his finger, "you stay in spirit form."

Scáthach, Makiri Mansion

"What I want? That one's easy. I've already got it." She raised a hand towards the ceiling, spreading her fingers to block out the light. "Mr. Masou, do you know what it's like to become immortal? It feels like becoming a god. It isn't fun. You begin to lose all sense of connection to the world in which you were born, and with every boundary of humanity you transcend, you say goodbye to another small pleasure of life. Companionship, love, food, alcohol, sex..."

"Eventually, you even lose the right to die." The light shone in her eyes. It was burning, white hot, though she knew it could not hurt her, no matter what it did. Like then. She snapped her fingers shut.

"So, Mr. Masou. You needn't worry about any incentive or betrayal from me. You've already given me more than I asked for. In this form, I can be mortal again. Enjoy the little pleasures. The feeling of being drunk, and stuffed. The peace of sleep. The rush of war. What it means to fear for my life again. Just like everyone else, all I care about," she said, putting a finger to her tongue in a way so that the meaning would be lost on neither of them, "is feeling good."

Masou Makiri, [Makiri Mansion, Dinning Hall]

"I see."

Masou nodded. So his Servant was a hedonist. While unusual, it should make their cooperation pretty simple. Now it was his turn.

"I am not someone who would keep a lady at disadvantage, so let me to properly introduce myself and my goals: I am Masou Makiri, the heir of Makiri family, which belongs to the three great families that initiated the cycle of this Holy Grail War a century ago. The greatest ambition of Makiri family always was to obtain the Holy Grail and access the root of everything: Akasha. "

Masou fixed Scáthach with his stare, trying to gauge her reaction.

"The wish of my family is also my wish. And I will stop at nothing to obtain it."

Masou paused, letting his introduction to sink in. After a several seconds of silence, he resumed the conversation, waving his hand at food still prepared on the table.

"Well then. Lets finish our lunch and move towards fulfilling my wish and providing you with some entertainment."


Rider, [Warehouse, Outside of the Warehouse]

Rider patted Jesse on the shoulder:

"Hah, don’t worry so much! From where I come, there were a lot of people even older than you drinking, fighting whoring, and just enjoying the life in general! Don’t underestimate yourself just because you are old! I bet you can still kick ass of a man three times younger! You will be fine! "

Looking at the face of his master, he grew a bit more serious:

"And even if something happens to you, you don’t have to worry. I swear I will fight for your cause as long as a drop of prana remains in my body."

Frowning, Rider let Jesse be and looked once more at the surrounding city. Somewhere in there, 6 other Master/Servant pairs were hiding, and even now planned how to kill him and his Master.

"But you are right. We should just go and let get over with it. I don't think that anyone can allow to waste time in this War."

Caster with Pierre [Hotel Room]

If she stayed in spirit form, that'd be much less stress on her Master, as much as she loved having her body once again. "Ah, very well, dear Master." Tamamo stood up and stretched her arms into the air. Before long, her body vaporized into thin air in the form of small, blue particles that soon became nothingness.

"Ah, with my image gone, do you feel lonely, Master? I'm still here, right beside you, so don't worry, okay? I'm a faithful fox." she says with a grin, although Pierre obviously couldn't see it. Her tail swished from side to said and, again, Pierre couldn't see it.


Jesse with Rider [Outside the Warehouse]

"Such commodities..." Jesse said as he reflected on his youth. "H Aha..." he shook his head from side to side and then looked to Rider, returning a nod. "Thanks for sticking by this old man's side, Rider, I appreciate it."

The old man let out a deep breath before taking yet another step forward, "Let's get moving, we have a war to win."

Pierre with Caster

Pierre couldn't help but flinch a little at that comment. Was she mocking him? Or just reassuring him? Either way, he couldn't really figure out whether he was supposed to be flustered or irritated with his new Servant.

"Thanks..."

And like that, they were off (like dirty shirts, as Pierre's mother back in France used to say). Mentally flipping the switch to German, Pierre resumed his calm attitude, and strolled out onto the street.

"Hey," he said under his breath, hoping Caster could hear him, "You can still understand me, right? We're heading to the Church first. I hear they've stationed an Overseer. It might be wise to go and meet him."


Scathach, Makiri Mansion

"Mmmm, yes, let's." Scathach worked away at the food, processing what her new Master had just told her. One of the Grail founders, eh? It seems both of them had gotten lucky.

But still, she thought as she ate, she couldn't decide what to make of his wish. It didn't sit well with her. Not for her sake, oh no. What he wanted to do with the Grail was his business, not hers. But still, she couldn't help but feel a wish so ambitious could do nothing but crash and burn.

Masou Makiri,[Makiri Mansion/Outside of Makiri Mansion]

Masou nodded and wolfed his food down as fast as manner would allow. It was getting cold anyway. After finishing his meal, Masou stood up and walked to the bar again. He opened a previously locked drawer and after a bit of searching, took out a big, sealed urn. Taking the urn under his arm, he walked to the door.

"I hope you forgive me if we postpone our tour through catacombs to later date, but I think what I am planning to do will be far more interesting."

Standing besides the door, he turned to Scáthach, predatory grin on his face as he motioned her to go through.

"I plan to officially sign in with the overseer and check out our enemies in the process."

Without a further word, Masou led his Servant through the mansion and out of the front entrance, still carrying the sealed urn in his hands. Outside, Masou grimaced and turned to Scáthach:

"I hope you wont mind being in Spirit form for a while my lady. Finding you clothes suitable for this era is another thing I was forced to postpone."


Rider, [Outside the Warehouse]

Rider nodded. Without another word, he disappeared into a thin air, assuming his spirit form.

"This way, I can accompany you without being seen by anyone who is not supposed to participate in this Holy Grail War."

Wordlessly communicating through the Master-Servant link that was established in the summoning, Rider glided alongside Jesse in his incorporeal form.

"Lead on then. "

[Alphonse, Outside Tohsaka Residence (Berlin)]

Alphonse stopped a block away from the first marked spot. He had great hopes for this one; past magical signs had been well hidden, but he had heard rumours about the place having been inhabited by "foreigners" in the past. Now, it was just a matter of figuring out whether or not the owner had returned. Doing his best to not look out of place in the mostly abandoned high-class neighbourhood, he lit a cigarette as he whispered a question to Saber.

"Can you sense anything?"

"Hmm something subtle... but there's should be something" Saber said in his ladylike guise, tucking a stray lock of his hair behind his ear "What do you think, Fournier? If we stay this close to what I feel, there's the danger that they might detect me as well. Do we retreat or do we attack?"

Scáthach, Makiri Mansion

"There'll be no need. I rather like these clothes." Scáthach said stubbornly. "But if you insist upon my returning to spirit form, I suppose I can't protest."

And like that she faded away, dissipating into a flurry of red-gold dust.
