Aisha Hassei - Family Villa Studio

"I'm ahead of you in that, Shielder... I do know where we may procure more and indeed, next time we go out I shall lead you there" says Aisha with a little smile, taking a single piece of the big Toblerone for herself, casually lobbing it within her own mouth.

Sam, Villa Outskirts

"Fair enough". Sam shrugged amicably. "Now then, we do need someone to drop the flag, so to speak. Assassin, would you do us the honor of counting down? ...Oh, and after that, could you be a pal and mosey on over to Trinita dei Monti? Archer wounded an enemy Master there, and although he's not quite dead yet, his Servant is suitably distracted, so please finish him off, or at least kidnap him or cut off his Command Seals or something. Thanks!"

He'd sent Archer a ping of acknowledgement earlier rather than actually saying anything to her, not wanting to distract her from the battle at some critical instant.


Seven Sisters, Villa

The sextet of maids stood ready and waiting by the entrance for new arrivals.

"Nice place, isn't it?" Avarita commented with a grin.

"It certainly is!" bubbled Luxuria. Barely able to contain herself, she began rocking back and forth, although that was hardly the most comfortable task given that she was wearing heels.

"Yeah, I guess it's alright. It's not like I like it or anything. It's nothing like our old house," Ira grumbled moodily, twirling a strand of her gray hair.

Acedia yawned widely and popped her shoulders. "Well, let's just hope it doesn't get blown up this time..."

"Indeed," Superbia concurred, then glanced around, "...Anyone know what happened to Gula?"

Meanwhile in the parlor, a certain individual with drill-shaped hair attempted to surreptitiously palm a piece or two of Troblerone behind everyone's back.

"Of course," Aeliana responded to Aisha. "But you won't mind if I keep those little details to myself for now." she said rather insistently, while giving the homonculi a smile.

Gula, Villa

"That'd be a pretty stupid thing to do, wouldn't it?" Gula posited bluntly, straightening up and clasping her hands behind her back - certainly not to hide anything she might be holding. "Aren't you supposed to be working together?"

On the back of Sam's bike

Alba, was concerned about being an accessory to a race, on the back of Sam's bike- a man who she hardly knew. Being caught up in a drag race when she wanted a simple lift was not on her agenda.

She didn't want to turn up to the dinner dirtied because she fell off, or end up with a broken neck- truly the Heiress of the Lock Family can't die before the grail war even begins because of a drag race.

"Is this truly necessary?" She piped up.

"We can test one another's speed when I'm not on the back of one of the contestants. Lets just get to the dinner now."

She gave a small huff after that, it was clear she was getting impatient.

"I have some things I need to get from my car, so I can start frying up some chicken," Giorgio said to Aisha. "If I could get some assistance from your, erm, maids, that would be nice. My lady."

Assassin gave Sam a hard stare. "I'm not your servant," he said. "I also don't recall you being in charge."

Sam, Villa Outskirts

"Oh! Forgive my arrogance, O mighty King of Athens! I shouldn't have imposed upon Your Majesty by expecting you to actually kill things instead of being a pedant over who was or was not crowned leader!" Sam put up his hands in a gesture of faux-peace. "I'll just be sure to let everyone at dinner know that the reason your old friend Archer died and we lost a Servant within hours of the start of the War when the enemy sent their reinforcements as backup was that you refused to get off your ass and do your job as an Assassin after being asked nicely. My bad."

Villa Outskirts
"Or maybe you need to learn a lesson in military tactics," Assassin replied. "Such as not sending your servant out in the middle of the city with no companions, not having prepared reinforcements beforehand, with no idea of the enemy's holdings or their composition, and no backup plans in place. And should she die, it is only because you are unwilling to use one of your command seals to summon her back from danger. Is your desire for dominating her so strong that you would prefer having her die rather than use one of your precious seals? You are a fool who would risk all our lives and all our resources in a heartbeat without ever understanding your own mistakes. If that is the case, then her death will serve as a double-blessing: It will drive those who remain to greater caution and reduce hubris, and it will remove the one thing preventing any of us from killing you."

He crossed his arms. "Our only saving grace is that should the entirety of the faction of Gold be as poorly organized as you, then our victory is assured."

Sam, Villa Outskirts

"Archer and I happen to have a very good rapport, actually. I've no need to use such things to have her follow orders," Sam preened, then raised an eyebrow, "Yet you would have me waste a command seal that could be better used in a multitude of different ways other than retreat simply because you refuse to go to the aid of your own ally who's on a simple scouting mission in order to procure the information required for tactical planning? I'm pretty sure cutting off your nose to spite your face for the sake of trivial pride isn't the height of strategic genius, either, Theseus."

He glanced to the other side of the bike. "Lancer, unless you're highly offended by the notion of reasonable requests from people other than your Master, might I ask the fastest member of Team Violet to go and bring an end to the Master of the enemy Rider?"

Villa

Saber materialized beside her Master, adjusting her violet tie as she wondered idly when it would be wise to reveal her true appearance to her allies. Like Aeliana, she had dressed up for the occasion. Unlike Aeliana, she was wearing a simple, understated suit - not anything showy in the slightest. She looks at Shielder.

"While we talk of tactics," she begins, "I would find it wise to determine what our own strategy should be."

Just outside the Bounded Field

Lancelot watched the argument unfold before turning her eyes upon Sam. "I'm not adverse to it though if my Master disagrees I shall remain with you all," she replied with a pause before continuing. "However, I do agree that you should use a command seal to bring her back in the event that things go south. Even with two of us there is no guarantee that we'll make it out alive."

She strode closer towards the bike before bringing a hand down onto Alba's shoulder. "What is your decision?"

Rider, Near Trinita dei Monti

"It's also bad when you can't pick up on context," she smiles while bringing up her sword. "But we can't all be competent," she gets into a battle stance again. "We will make this a fight between Servants. I would rather neither of us fall, so we will make three rules," the woman put up three fingers from her sword.

"One, neither will target the other's master," it had to be noted that Archer's master wasn't present. But the rule should be in place regardless. "Two, use of signature Noble Phantasms is prohibited," the third finger stays up. "Three, the first one to land a strike on the other wins. Whoever loses this struggle must reveal their identity," Rider made the rules plain while taking a few steps away. "Are these agreeable?"

...

Well, Rider's Master wasn't really in any shape to respond.

The Back of Sam's Bike

Alba sat there for a moment, considering her decision.

She shrugged off the hand a little, as if uncomfortable.

"I agree. You may leave us, Lancer- deal with the enemy master. Don't take unnecessary risks though."

She then went on- "And speaking of unnecessary risks- I still urge that we do not race to the villa. Lets just go- we're keeping them waiting as it is. Not to mention how a race would bring attention to us, even with how quiet this bike is."

Shielder of Violet, the Villa

Shielder nodded, then popped another piece of toblerone into her mouth.

"Well let's see here... We don't actually know the level of organization our opposing team has, only the fact that ours isn't all that close. Another thing that I know, that I'll tell you right now, is that I can provide cover for anyone in a team fight. I am the Servant of the Shield after all, so it would only make sense that I serve that role when I can. Now, about you. What can you provide, Saber?"

"Oh yeah, sure thing, if everyone here was willing to lend me all of their energy, I could maybe get us a tenth of the way there before dying of depletion," Assassin replied to his master. "I can comfortably navigate roughly one labyrinth-sized area. I believe when translated into your units of measurement, it is known as a 'football field'. Not half of Rome. If you want to head that far, take the bus."

He turned his head to face Sam again. "So you better whip out that command seal already and recall her, before she gets killed, or worse - accidentally reveals information about us."

"It goes without saying that I am skilled in direct combat," Saber says, "And it is there where I am most suited. But I do have some knowledge of magecraft - I know some to disguise my appearance, and some to re-weave destiny's web in my own favor. You could call it a way to increase my own luck."

"It's a shame the others are.. preoccupied. Still, I assume having luck on her aside will come to be a helpful asset. That, and illusion."

She paused and ran her eyes up and down Saber's form as if looking for something.

"Perhaps we could team up at some point?"

Shielder of Violet

"If only they were as timely as the two of us." Shielder replied passively. She was currently keeping her Divinity in check as to facilitate more casual conversation. If not, then things might have gotten one sided. She didn't bother with restricting her Charisma though.

That she left flow freely.

"I can only hope that they are more timely during battle."

Archer of Violet, Near Trinita dei Monti

"Heh, quite cocky and rude attitude... specially when you're making rules that obviously favor you. As it stands, I don't accept them... First rule is taking away a disadvantage of yours without anything to gain for my part. Indeed, I could target your incapacitated Master and keep you on the defensive... meanwhile, you have no idea where my own may be located... and by what I see, got no capacity to harm them on these circumstances" says Atalanta crossing her arms and looking with a grin at the other Servant.

"The contest is not entirely uninteresting I must admit... I like such challenges. But I'm not going to give you a handicap for free after you called me incompetent for not bowing to rules you're making on the fly on the last encounter, that's terrible sportsmanship"

"So... care to up the ante on your side?"


Aisha Hassei - Family Villa

"I too wish to support this endeavor... Or at least, think that taking some safety measures should be wise. Shielder, if you may approach the locale? I don't want you to intervene if things carry on as they are, but should the situation change you're the greatest safeguard card we have to recover from disaster. Do try to be discreet in your approach though"

Rider, Near the Trinita dei Monti

"I asked for your approval, and you brought up concern. That was the point. Don't take me for some cheat," Rider laughs a little bit. "And the first rule is needed since you failed to understand the first time. I'm merely clarifying," she shrugs. "And you may use your lance, your bow, your sword, whatever it is you want. I will handicap myself on the second. You will need it, unless you want to force my hand... then by all means," Rider stabbed her sword into the ground while glaring at Archer. If she wanted to press that button, she could. "And to make things even - Master, get out of here. You need care. Or if not, go hide somewhere. I'd rather you didn't use a Command Seal to make this fight anything more than I would like."

"Ggh," he really wasn't in any position to fight. "R-right," he could make it home. Probably. Or he could seek comfort in an alleyway somewhere.

"Does this sound better?"

"I'll just go get it myself... then. Give me a minute," Giorgio said, heading back to his Caravan to start unloading the food and cooking supplies he had brought.


Street Near Trinità dei Monti
A woman with purple hair, red clothing, and a non-trivial quantity of gold jewelery materialized closely behind Elliot. "Don't worry about him, I'll make sure he doesn't get into trouble. Just make sure to put on a good show for us, alright?" she said in a voice that heavily oozed a Southern European accent of some sort. "Maybe I'll give you a reward if you win, no? Ah ah ah, do your best, mia bella!"

She pinched Elliot's cheek and started to drag him away. "We'll make sure you're nice and safe. I'll get you an ice cream cone and you'll be back to normal in no time."

Shielder of Violet - The Villa

Shielder tilted her head slightly, squinted her eyes for a moment, then spoke up.

"Well, Master, I don't know if there's time for that. When I arrive there, the battle will most certainly be over. However... I do suppose that if there are any wounded, I could take care of them if the need arises... yes, I'll do that. I have some Riding Skill, though little of it. A shame Rider could not make it... still, I'll need a vehicle."

She staightened her head out and then turned to face the doorway. "Do you think you could secure me a vehicle? Something small to facilitate navigation, I suppose. One of those 'mopeds'."

Archer of Violet - Street Near Trinità dei Monti

Archer took a deep breath in as she notices the newly appearing Servant with some concern, sure to roughly transmit back to Sam all that was happening through the bond Enemy Assassin has also appeared... Seems to come from the Mediterranean... perhaps a local. Must be Assassin or a Servant with incredible presence hiding skills... not her scent, figure or sound could I detect from this close on. Though now that they presented themselves, I'll try to remember them and their scent

Must have been following Rider or been fairly close by... I didn't notice the enemy Master trying to call anyone before I attacked them and they have been fairly wounded since I did it. For some reason, the enemy team must believe Rider and their Master needed an unseen escort

"I retract my previous words, Rider. Now I'd say conditions are evenly matched. However... I must make sure we're on the same ground on what landing a strike means. If I hit your blade, is that me landing a strike? If your blade bounces harmlessly off my tough fur or claws, is that landing a strike?" she asks grinning softly before saying "Or do we go with what I think we're meaning... first to draw blood or to slip past the enemy defenses to land a wounding blow wins? I think that is your intention but do need confirmation before we rush in"


Aisha Hassei - Family Villa

"Indeed, I think it will be best if you do head out... we're safe enough on this locale and Archer is alone in comparison. Go to the garage... there should be a bike there, Shielder. Hmm... though what we really need is Assassin on the location. We caught sight for the first time of the enemy team... Assassin could follow them and learn more"
