<ARcher, scout the way please.> Takeshi moves to the temple as well.

[Draco Flame]

"It's time to go shopping, we have found our first team mate. quick question lancer do you know of any anger management techniques?"

[Flagmauth]

Despite her not being in corporeal form, Lancer managed to convey the impression of giving him a disdainful look. <What kind of question is that?>

[Helsing]

Currently in Boston in a magical laboratory the rune mage Sharon Roberts was working on a set of runes to increase her physical capabilities when she noticed command seals appeared on her hand.

She instantly cut off ties to her neighbors and other that might call her or interrupt her and set up a summoning circle in her lab. She didn't have any catalyst but that didn't matter, she needed someone she could work with, not a hero that conflicted with her ideals. So without missing a beat or making a mistake, she summoned her servant.

[Draco Flame]

<Well we're going to be the foundation of this new team. Think of us as the keystone to all this if you will. Our job is essential, and currently i'm not dressed to receive guest at this time.>

[Flagmauth]

<So find the other White Faction Servants then. It seems simple enough from where I'm standing.>

[Draco Flame]

<What do you mean it's simple then what?> hereon said stopping cola ping to the ground creating a hole to the surface so he could get so fresh air and releasing his familiars.

[Flagmauth]

His familiars found Zouken Matou, hunched as always over his twisted old walking stick, speaking with a Servant standing in front of him - Rider of White. He wore black clothes underneath elaborate steel plate, and slung across his back was a greatsword longer than he was tall.

After a moment, Zouken spoke seemingly to the familiars, without turning his gaze from Rider. "You can come out now - it's impolite to stare."

[Draco Flame]

gereon froze and then suddenly and comically his head popped out above ground.
"Please tell this wasn't your master plan because if so i swear. I'm going to call BS and challenge you to game of chess to prove it."

[Flagmauth]

"I'm afraid I can't discuss my plans so openly with you even now that we're on the same team, Master of the Einzberns. You are welcome to draw what conclusions you like."

[Draco Flame]

"If it's about the grail it's all yours, just give me a good fight and a fair death along the way no backstabieng BS."

[Flagmauth]

Most of the night and the next day was uneventful - Rin, Takeshi, Troy, Vince and Kirika moved into Ryuudou Temple with whatever things they needed - except in Kirika's case as Matou mansion was still crawling with emergency personnel and she couldn't afford to hang around there with the Grail War on.

Through Caster's network they detected another Servant entering the town via the roads - interestingly, he promptly moved into Takeshi's former hotel room, or at least his Master did. And the first flight into Fuyuki airport the next day had two Servants on it, and after that they didn't know - Caster's network suddenly stopped being useful, so one of those two was presumably either Caster of White or qualified for same. Sharon arrived with Archer of White later in the day - he had identified himself as Hector of Troy. He was tall even for a Servant, and had an array of spears slung across his back. His armor was masterfully constructed, providing almost perfect protection from any angle and yet it seemed to slow his movement not at all.

[Helsing]

Alice and Aaron were working to plan out attacks with their servants.

***

Sharon walked through the streets of Fuyuki and asked the question she should've asked a while back "If we are part of some team of Servants and Masters, can you identify servants that are on our side?"

[Draco Flame]

Gereon Looked at his radar and began taping at his monocle. "What the damn things brocken. Come on work damn you." He said picking up his map the was the main focus for the radar and began slapping it against he wall trying to bring it back online.

[Flagmauth]

<I cannot. But your clairvoyance will be able to identify them, and your Seals react differently to allied Masters.>

---

The map stubbornly refused to continue working.

[Helsing]

Aaron turned to Troy "We have a problem, the map just went down."

***

<That's good at least. So we have allies but no way to find them without making it obvious that were looking for servants and even if we do find servants they might be from the Teal Faction. Great.>

[Draco Flame]

hereon then let out what could only be described as a dying squirrels battle cry do to his rage.
"Fine then let gather our team the old fashion way." hereon said grabbing his coat going up to the mirror and changing his appearance to and what could only be described as a Japanese Yakuza with his coat. getting a few familiars together from clay so that his string was used as the skeleton and heading out.

[Helsing]

Sharon decided to test her luck and went to the overseer's church in hope that the overseer could give her information on her team.

[Flagmauth]

<It's not as bad as that,> Archer of White tried to reassure his Master.

---

Lancer followed him in Spirit Form. <Your scream of rage needs work.>

---

"How the heck did it go down?" Troy wondered.

[Helsing]

Aaron gave a questioning look at Caster.

***

Sharon entered the church "Overseer?" she asked on her way in.

[Flagmauth]

"I'm afraid not, milady." Servant Ruler stood up from the desk where he was perusing a copy of the completed works of Shakespeare. "A mere human Overseer wouldn't suffice for a Great Grail War, after all."

---

Caster scowled back from beneath her hood. "It's some kind of outside interference. I'm doing my best, but it's impossible for me to remove it without enough mana."

[Draco Flame]

<It wasn't even supposed to be anything beside incoherent. But for future reference what's wrong with it? Does it need to be higher more sustained?> Gereon asked waving away her comment but lighting up at the learning opportunity on proper battle cries while setting his familiars free.

[Flagmauth]

<It needs to be deeper, more savage. Less like a rodent being stepped on.>

[Helsing]

Sharon blinked, her master's clairvoyance told her that this was Ruler but she recognized the man before her "Shakespeare."

[Draco Flame]

<Wait i was rodent? I was trying to imitate a Spartan battle cry. how do ..get deeper and what does being savage have to do with it?>
