Anders shook his head. "This beast isn't just a raging Berserker. It's very nature is wrongness. I can sense a deep corruption in it. I'd wager that it's Mad Enhancement merely added to its... taint."

The mercenary stepped over the body of his latest victim. He turned it with his foot. The man's face was completely crumpled in — tripping while running at several times the normal speed proved to be fatal for him. Picking a knife from a bag he carried, he dropped it on the floor — as per his orders — then cursed when he cut himself in the process.
The floor started to shine. Or, rather, parts of it. A magical circle that was drawn on the floor activated itself, blinding the mercenary...

“There is sense in that,” Banshee said, then vanished again. There was no point in drawing further attention to herself.

Handayashi Forest Campgrounds, Rick's RV
"Well okay then," Rick said, not really sure why Banshee had to hide if no one was around - and her being in spirit form conveniently meant he had to pack up everything himself.

After safely putting out the fire and quickly returning things to one of the RV's storage compartments, Rick closed the door to the vehicle and sat down in the driver's seat. Cranking the ignition and bringing the engine to life, he started to drive not to the church, but to the large store with an RV-accessible parking lot closest to the church.

"Well, hopefully if it cleans regularly that won't be a problem." Jacob said with a laugh.

Dresden followed in behind Hiro and eyed the conflict going on in front of him. It reminded me of... well, a lot of crap I'd fought over the years. Like the cover of an old 80s fantasy novel; more retro-influenced than a lot of more stylized Servants. Might need to make a note of that. He stayed silent and leaned on his staff; he wished he had more juice than what he was packing right now.

The Netherworld

Gwen Remington was not an easy woman to shock. Right now, though? She was shocked as all hell.

Gwen promptly fell on her butt, an utterly gobsmacked expression on her face. After a few seconds of disbelieving silence, Gwen smacked her forehead with a palm.

"I'm bloody drunk, aren't I? Or dreaming. Hell, I don't even do drugs but I might be high right now..."

"What is...all of this? I don't even..."


Red Rose Garden

As soon as her new friend took her hand, Sakura smiled in pure joy before going forward and basically tackle-hugged the Heroic Spirit.

"Friend". She had always wanted friends, but she didn't really know how to go about it. This was just a perfect opportunity for her. Friends hugged each other, right?

"Hello! My name is Sakura-like the cherry blossoms, of course, they're really pretty. Yes, I'm your friend...I've never really had friends, can you teach me what to do? Do you like naps? Naps are the best..."

She giggled.

"Anyway, you can just call me Sa-chan. And what do I call you?"

Handayashi Cathedral

Stepping up to the cathedral doors, Mack slowly and cautiously made his way inside, beckoning for Archer to follow. As he set foot inside the hallowed grounds, the open hostility hit him like a blast of wind in the face.

Looking around at all the strange figures in the room, his eyes eventually made their way towards Sherman.

"Father Sherman." He said in greeting. "Mack Dailey reporting in.


Handayashi Suburbs

The circle of blood began to emit a powerful light, but instead of the vicious red as common sense dictate it should be, the circle instead glowed a bright blue.

At the center of the circle, a prism of light began to form, and a silhouette was visible inside. Soon, the prism disappeared as suddenly as it had reappeared, but the blue silhouette itself grew brighter and brighter. Then the finer features began to fill into the figure standing in the circle. The legs first, then the torso, and finally the head until the entire body was in full view.

The figure was clad in armor of gold, decorated with crystals. However, the face inside the helmet revealed that the figure was not a human at all. The figure was humanoid, but the skin was entirely blue. The face had no mouth to speak of, and the eyes gave off a fierce blue glow. When the figure spoke, there was no sound to be picked up by the human ear, yet the message could clearly be heard by all addressed.

The Netherworld
"Hell? No, but unless you feel like locking yourself in an infernal abyss, this is a warm enough alternative," the old minion said. "Perhaps to comprehend the situation, you simply need to be introduced, hmm? I'm Gnarl, this dashing fellow here is the Overlord, the Demon Lord of Nordberg, Slayer of Emperor Solarius Florian Greenheart, and Lord of the Netherworld. Now do you think you can be calm without going crazy again? Oh blast it Quaver, not now!"

Another minion appeared, this one wearing a jester's outfit. He did a cartwheel to close the distance between himself and Gwen, the Overlord, and Gnarl. He began... singing. "Oh this mistress is a lovely sight. I'm almost moved to tears. I hope she will sit down with me and gently stroke my ears!"

Handayashi Shop Basement

'Mami Tomoe...' Beatrice thought to herself, as her Servant named herself.

The name seemed familiar, somehow, but only just- perhaps some old folk hero of Japan? Whatever the case, it didn't seem like she needed to worry; the information that rushed into her head after she was given her Servant's name seemed VERY reassuring of her abilities, even if they did raise some interesting questions.

"Also, this is my workshop- I 'borrowed' a basement whilst the owners are out of town," She began, before Archer promptly jumped onto another question, "And my name is Beatrice, Archer. Beatrice La Foret."

For a moment, she paused, considering what to say next-

"Also, Archer- is that your only choice of clothing or do you have anything less... conspicuous?"


Cabin in the Woods

There was a brief lull as the woman stared at JoJo, the powerful light from behind her remaining along with the heavy aura in the air. The man's lack of intimidation and offbeat response had evidently caused something to snap (or perhaps click?) within her mind- as the seconds passed, it became evident she was contemplating something.

The lull passed, and the light slowly faded. The woman lifted the sheathed sword from its upright position upon the floor, and began to walk towards Jo Jo.

"Can't say I am, but I appreciate the hospitality nonetheless," She said calmly, the intimidating aura gone as she spoke, "Though, even if you are not a Magus, you are still the one who summoned me, correct?"

"Now now, provoking a Berserker is a rather haphazardous decision, no?" Rita taunted Anders with a smirk. "His identity or origin matter little to me if he can prove effective and obedient." She remarked, folding her arms. "Do not tell me you are afraid of him."

Sherman let out another long sigh. The things were as crazy as they always got and-some Caster he wasn't yet aware of just outfitted themselves with a base of operations. The clergyman sincerely hoped this wasn't the beginning of the clusterfuck that he had heard Fourth Fuyuki War was. "Mack Dailey. Got you." He replied to the newcomer, writing down his name in Sherman's everpresent book.

"In any case" He addressed everybody present. "are there any questions anybody here wishes to ask before we declare this War open?"

Archer, for his part, stayed one step behind Mack, his eyes darting from one person to another, evaluating and gauging them.

Archer — Handayashi Shop Basement

The name of her Master was Beatrice La Foret. That name was certainly European, maybe from Italy? Now Mami thought it'd be sort of awkward if she started talking about her attack naming and asking if they were accurate. The thought just made her face flush red for a second. Being called out in the middle of a fight, your Master screaming Why are you butchering our language? was something that the magical girl never had to deal with. Well, then there was this entire summoning ordeal which was another situation she's never had to think about either. The time spent here was definitely going to be a learning experience.

"My clothes? Well, I don't exactly have anything on me..." the first thought that she had was wearing her Mitakihara School uniform which, as she stated, was not on hand at the moment. "Do you have anything that could fit me? I know it's probably not the first thing a Servant should be asking, but it would be really helpful," she curtsied just to show her respect to her Master.


Jojo — Cabin in the Woods

Intimidating aura? Shining lights out of nowhere? Regardless it was no concequence to this young man, "You could say that, yeah. Don't call me Magus, Master, whatever. I hate that sort of formality. What's your real name? Or what can I call you?" he stood up while stretching his arms into the air.

Dresden was about to walk over and actually speak to Hiro when he remembered the telepathy all Servants possessed. Hey, Hiro... we need to know more about this Berserker. I'm gonna risk a soulgaze; I've seen worse. He strode towards the dark knight causing all this trouble. "Hey, buddy, you want to maybe pick on someone..." He compared their heights; Wow, normally I can rely on not being outclassed in this department. "Relatively your own size, huh?"

"Points for effort." Jacob commented.

Berserker tears its glare off of Anders when it realizes that Dresden had decided to approach it, it then proceeded to stare down at the seemingly lesser servant that had the fortitude to stand before it without being much too intimidated; silently judging if he was going to be a threat. From the way Berserker's stance relaxed however, Dresden would definitely be getting the message that the Dark Knight doesn't particularly consider him dangerous... For the moment.

This guy was pulling off the Big Tin Tyrant act well enough, but that's all it was: an act. Dresden looked straight up at Berserker... and he went for it. He reached the few inches left with his staff and tried to tip the beast's visor up to get a good look at his eyes.

When Dresden performed his brazen, audacious and foolhardy attempt at trying to get a look at Berserker's eyes, the Wizard would be unpleasantly surprised to find out that the dark knight's helmet was a one-piece construction; much like a Corinthian helmet and thus lacking a visor to flip in the first place. And to make matters worse, the creature reacts to its helmet being tipped as a distraction, a precursor to a dishonorable sneak attack and thus its left hand quickly lashes out in an attempt to swat the Wizard away with a powerful if sloppy backhanded strike.

Though due to its helmet being lifted up, Berserker could not properly see where Dresden was and if the wizard were to look closely enough at the now aggressive servant, he'd notice that the creature's partially exposed jaw seemed to be heavily decayed. Zombie-like even.

-The Increasingly Full Church-

Meanwhile, ever since he'd been ever so rudely teleported in the middle of his search of the church's backrooms, Rider had been sulking in spirit form, finding himself unable to pass through walls as he usually could. Stupid people not even doing basic bargaining, he wasn't going to steal anything, he just wanted to find out if they even had armor here. I mean, the knives looked interesting, but he had totally better ones so why would he take them? Besides, they weren't armor.

"Are we done? This place is pointless now since we can't get you armor here."

The mercenary groaned. Another magical complication. He wondered what it was this time — this one didn't seem like a familiar, and didn't immediately attack him. It might be a good idea to wheedle some information out of... him? It?
“It would seem so,” he said aloud, holding his bloody hand aloft.

Banshee was silent for the whole ride. When they finally parked, however, Rick could hear a faint mental cough. It sounded suspiciously close to 'Corpus'.
Let us procure a disguise post-haste, Archer noted. There is much to do.

Handayashi Cathedral

"Alright." Sherman waved his hand at the crowd, annoyed. "If nobody has any questions, away with you. No fighting for the rest of the night. Starting with the sunrise, everything goes. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, in a Grail War."

"This place, may I remind you, is a safe heaven. Here a Servantless Master can go to forfeit and be guaranteed safety. That means I do not appreciate any violence here or in the nearest vicinity of the cathedral." He narrowed his eyes at the people gathered before grumbling something under his breath. "Now, get your stuff out of here."

"...come, Berserker. We have a whole night of planning and resting ahead of us." Rita grumbled in displeasure, rather disappointed that nothing interesting came out of this meeting. At the same time her mental message was delivered right to knight's broken mind.

"Hey there." Dresden leaned back from Berserker's swing. Okay, that's a solid clue to work with, then: the guy's... undead, or something. He held up a hand. "No problem, man. Let's get outta here, Master."

Immediately after the swing, Berserker's other arm quickly works to put its helmet back in its proper place and as it was about to unleash a terrible, if rather unwarranted retaliation by taking a single step forward to close the gap between it and the brazen Wizard; its master's command resounds within its shattered mind and with great force of will, the creature ceases its aggression and gives Dresden an angry glare that promises brutal retribution for his insult before the Dark knight dematerializes into a cloud of ashes and dust that soon scatters out of sight.

"Alright, but most stores are closed this late at night. This should be good enough solution for now, though," Rick said. He pulled a pair of binoculars out of the cupboard, and went to the window of the RV. Slightly opening the blinds, he looked out at the semi-distant church, and held the binoculars to his eyes. "Can you make anyone out at the church."

Handayashi Cathedral - Far too overcrowded room

Massaging his temples and wondering on how exactly pretty much every other Master in the damn Grail War had decided to come register at precisely the same time as he had, Francis replied to his Servant while he tried to make it through the crowd while making as little contact with the various Servants and their Masters as possible on his way to the cathedral doors, "Yeah Rider, we're done here, got anything you need to do like scouting or something, or do you want to head on home?"

Beatrice- Handayashi Shop Basement

Archer's sudden moment of embarrassment didn't go unnoticed by Beatrice; regardless, she moved on too quickly to answering her question for her to get anything out of it. Oh well. At least it seemed that Archer COULD be embarrassed. That was going to make for some fun~

"Hmm." So Archer didn't have anything more practical after all? Well, couldn't say that was too surprising, it was only an off chance that she would- "Bit late- well, bit early in the morning, if you think about it, now, but there are plenty of shops in town. Money's not a problem, so we could have a look around later today?"


Saber- Cabin in the Woods

As the young man confirmed his position, Saber felt the link between the two properly emerge. Mana began to flow properly into her body, and a visible amount of tension, both physical and mental, left in turn.

"I'm more than happy to oblige," She replied to the young man, seeming quite sincere in those words; "As for myself, my name is Satsuki Kiryuin."

Servant Saber

Satsuki Kiryuin

"And you are... JoJo, correct?" She asked in return, seemingly a little intrigued by that name.
She could have sworn she'd seen that name around somewhere else.
