Re: Fate/alter chasm (Mk.II)

"I don't know. We'll find a hotel soon. I just want us away from Ikari and Caster as soon as possible." Walking towards the direction of the empty market district in hopes of finding another hotel.

[A Blind Guy]

"Sorry it took so long, traffic was berserk."

[Flagmauth]

"It's fine, just-" Rin was interrupted by the door being pulled further open and a blue-haired man with a ponytail poking his head around it - Lancer. "Yo."

***

Saber shrugged. "Well, I guess that works..."

[BerrySayRoar]

As they walk into the market district, he noticed a phone booth with a rather large phone book inside. Now that it occur to him, The kid said he heard the touhakas were in the war again. He opens the book and skims through the t section. May as well investigate after they find a hotel.

[Flagmauth]

He quickly finds out the Tohsakas own a mansion down in the European-styled neighborhood he had been in earlier when he encountered Berserker. Interestingly, Ikari and Caster appear to have been heading in that direction...

[A Blind Guy]

"Greetings." Takeshi bows to Lancer. " I have the scroll you requested. May I come in?"

[Flagmauth]

Rin stepped back out of their way, holding the door open. Caster frowned slightly as they passed her, ignoring Lancer. Takeshi could feel her suspicion through their link.

[A Blind Guy]

<Something up caster?> 

Takeshi reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out the geass scroll, handing it to Rin. "This scroll dictates that neither master or servant will harm the other party's  master or servant, with or without the consent or knowledge of either master."

[BerrySayRoar]

Joseph mentally noted the address in his head and goes back to searching for a hotel. He will investigate the place once it is morning.

[Flagmauth]

"Until we are the only two Masters remaining in the War." Rin nodded approvingly. She took a moment, before turning back to him. "Looks fine to me."

<That girl...she shows up on my senses almost like a Servant...> Caster reported. Rin glanced at the foxgirl Servant once, having caught the fact that Caster was staring at her, before ignoring it.

***

There were many hotels. The largest one in town was just on the riverside, east of where he was now.

[A Blind Guy]

<Ok, stay on your toes, we can discuss this at the hotel.> 

Takeshi, removing a small knife from inside his jacket pocket (he keeps a lot of stuff in there), makes a small cut on his index finger, signing the contract.

[Flagmauth]

Rin followed suit a moment later, wincing as she sliced her own finger open. Afterward, she produced a small jewel and held it over the wound, muttering a quick incantation under her breath as the skin sealed itself back up. Rin glanced at Takeshi's hand. "Do you want me to take a look at that for you?"

[A Blind Guy]

"It's only a flesh wound, had worse."

[Flagmauth]

Lancer, who had remained largely silent thus far, chose that moment to speak up. "Well, I for one am fully in favor of this alliance. After all, it wouldn't do to have to kill someone as lovely as you on the first day of the war, Caster."

Takeshi felt Caster latch onto his arm. "I'm spoken for. I'd say sorry but I'm really not."

He shrugged. "Alas. Plenty of other fish in the sea, am I right?"

[A Blind Guy]

"Well, while she  isn't nowhere as lovely as caster, you can go after saber."

[Flagmauth]

Lancer gave Takeshi a lopsided grin. "Thanks for the tip."

Rin cleared her throat. "Anyway, did you happen to find out anything useful about Saber? Or any other Masters and Servants, for that matter?"

[A Blind Guy]

"Indeed, Saber's master uses conceptual magic, reading rom a book and throwing coins are his way of casting spells. " Takeshi describes Joseph's and saber's appearances. 

"Berserker I'm not sure about, her master was about your age and had blue hair. I didn't get any ideas about who either servants were though."

[Flagmauth]

"Hm. Berserker's Master sounds like Shinji...unbelievable. I didn't even know he was a magus."

[A Blind Guy]

"Do you know him? From what I saw during the battle, he was kind of a shitty magus."

[Flagmauth]

A nod. "Shinji Matou. Eldest son of the Matou family...kind of a jerk, too. If he's their Master, they really are desperate..."

[A Blind Guy]

"Hm, oh something else, he didn't have command seals like you and I." Takeshi holds up his wrist. 

"His were in a book of some sort."

[Flagmauth]

Rin's brow furrowed. "That's...weird. But it's possible they weren't his Seals, then."

[A Blind Guy]

"The book was destroyed during the battle."

[Flagmauth]

"I see." She was silent for a bit. "Did Berserker fade away afterward?"

[A Blind Guy]

"No, she kept fighting, she even looked to have gotten a bit stronger. Her and Berserker fought to a standstill and berserker retreated."
