Re: Fate/alter chasm (Mk.II)

Takeshi walks over to his suitcase and, after some searching, pulls out a laptop. He goes over to the desk and turns on the computer, and after doing some digging, finds whatever information he can on the three families and their current heads.

[Flagmauth]

The Einzberns were currently headed by Jubastacheit von Einzbern. As ever, they were rather secretive about what they were doing - though it appeared they had pulled their team out of the London Grail War. The Dresden Grail War consisted of roughly fifty percent Einzbern homunculi and was evidently continuing as usual.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, the last magus of note in Tohsaka house, died in the Fourth War ten years ago along with his wife. This left his young daughter Rin as the sole heiress to the House - but other than that there was essentially zero information. Local school records indicated that Rin Tohsaka attended Homurahara Academy, but no word on if she had continued to pursue magecraft.

The Matous managed to have even less information available. They still owned a house in the Western-style district, but they had steadily declined over the years in terms of their abilities as magi. As with the Tohsaka girl, school records indicated that two siblings by the name of Shinji and Sakura both attended the same school but there was still no information about the activities of the head of house.

Takeshi then prints out a large map of Fuyuki and spreads it out on the coffee table. taking out a sharpie marker, he locates where each master he knew about would be located. He circles the Tohsaka mansion, the Matou's estate, and the hotel that both he and Johnson are staying in. 

"All right, that seems to be about it. Tonight you and I will head out to patrol the area for any other masters and servants, but before that can happen, I'm going to get some sleep." he says, hanging up his coat, setting an alarm to go off at sundown, and heads to the bedroom.

[BerrySayRoar]

"Just to see if it can help us in case of combat." He set the bok down and took a swig of the sake. <Are Iakri and his servant still here?>

[Flagmauth]

"Yes, they're still nearby." Swig.

[BerrySayRoar]

He nods his head and continues to read his book. This time reading the definition of the word, Explode.

[Flagmauth]

Hours passed - the Masters were able to get some sleep readily enough. Takeshi, naturally, woke to find Caster had appropriated half of his bed for herself (because of course she had) while Saber had settled for flipping constantly through the hotel's TV channels seemingly at random.

It was now early evening. Sunset was minutes away...the Grail Wars were fought at night.

[BerrySayRoar]

Joseph only dozed a bit before he snapped awake from the sound of a tank bombing some part of Vietnam in a war film. He sat up on the bed, groaning <Here's what we are going to do. We are going to shadow Ikari and his servant. I want to know if they are friend or foe so ABSOLUTELY no attacking them>

[Flagmauth]

"What?" Saber looked at him, incredulous. "There's no question about that - we have to defeat them to win the War, Master!"

[A Blind Guy]

"Good evening caster, are you prepared for our patrol?" Takeshi leaves the bed and goes to don his coat.

[BerrySayRoar]

"Saber, I don't doubt your skills when needed to be in combat but...Is it wrong that I am nervous about the first night of the Holy Grail War? Or perhaps just have one temporary ally?"

[Flagmauth]

She scowled, but conceded the point. "I suppose not..."

***

Caster sighed, exasperated, as she used her shapeshifting ability to change into her standard outfit - also rematerializing her tail and ears. Her Master was so dense sometimes..."I guess.." she pouted.

[BerrySayRoar]

"Thank you for understanding. Let me know when they are starting to headout" He sighs and goes to the bathroom to do his business.

[A Blind Guy]

"You seem troubled by something caster, have I displeased you in some way?" Takeshi asks, taking a quick swig of sake.

[Flagmauth]

"Oh, nothing. It's just it would be nice to have someone realize what it might mean when their beautiful wife is in bed with them..." There was a slight edge to Caster's voice as she watched Takeshi out of the corner of her eye.

[A Blind Guy]

"My apologies, i admit i have been distracted by the war. I just want to win as soon as i can, and minimize the risks to innocent people."

[Flagmauth]

"Hmph." She didn't seem satisfied with that answer. "Where are we patrolling, then?"

[A Blind Guy]

"We will be looking around the Tohsaka manor" making sure he has everything, he goes over to the map.

[Flagmauth]

Caster nodded once. "Oh, by the way, Saber hasn't moved since you went to sleep. They must be staying in the hotel too. Or they're following us."

[A Blind Guy]

"The two don't have to be mutually exclusive, they are getting to be a pain in my side we can deal with them if tbey choose to continue following us."
Takeshi opens the door and holds it open. " after you."

[Flagmauth]

That simple act seemed to go a long way to restoring Caster's good mood and she smiled as the two of them headed to the elevator.

***

"They're on the move, Master, heading past us to the ground floor."

[A Blind Guy]

"What are your thoughts about saber and his master caster?"

[Flagmauth]

"Both of them can die in a fire." Caster said simply.

[BerrySayRoar]

Joseph walks out of the bathroom and glances outside to see if can catch a glimpse of Ikari through the window.

[Flagmauth]

After a moment he can see "Ikari" and Caster exit the hotel down on the ground floor.
