Re: Fate/alter chasm (Mk.II)

The man raised an eyebrow at her "It's mindless drivel that a ten year old could make."

[Flagmauth]

Caster proceeded to walk straight back towards Takeshi. Nothing followed her...nothing visible at any rate. Yet.

"Good thing nobody cares what you think, Archer."

"Fire it up, Rider." Troy said, walking to one of the side doors and hauling it open. He clambered aboard and offered Sigyn a hand to help her do the same.

***

Saber appeared to think that over and then shrugged. "That doesn't sound that bad."

[Helsing]

"... I care what he thinks." Sigyn whispered.

When Rider didn't hear her, she slumped and followed Troy to the helicopter. When Troy offered a hand, she was noticeably nervous to take the hand. She also didn't make eye contact.

"Thank you."

Archer glaned at Troy, then his master, then back to Troy. Then he atrialized and disappeared.

***

The man slumped "You're hopeless. But anyway, have fun in the war. Try not to get yourself killed, blah blah blah you know how these speeches go."

[BerrySayRoar]

"Thank you for telling me this politely, now do you have any Michael bay films per chance?"

[A Blind Guy]

Takeshi stands up and walks over to Caster, continuing to walk inh the direction she came from.

[Flagmauth]

Sigyn

"Think nothing of it," Troy told Sigyn as he pulled her onboard. "Also just ignore Rider. He can be an asshole."

"So can you, Master."

"Well, yeah, but only to people who deserve it. Like you!"

"Oh no, however will I live with the shame..." Rider's voice was beginning to be drowned out by the rotor blades spinning up. Troy handed Sigyn a headset. "Here. It'll be too loud to hear one another without one of these in a second."

Joseph

Saber looked irritated, glaring at the unknown Master.

Takeshi

That direction wound up leading to a wall. Fortunately cursory inspection turned up the fact that the area behind the wall happened to be an area that was generally off-limits to the public - a portion of the station dedicated to cargo trains and the handling of freight shipments. Magi weren't the type to usually stow away in something like a cargo train...that indicated they were hauling something and it was either a lot of somethings, a very big something, or a lot of very big somethings.

[A Blind Guy]

After making sure nobody was watching, TAkeshi slipped into the cargo area, hoping to gain a better look of what these somethings were.

[Helsing]

Sigyn put on the headset, the contraption fitting over her head rather well. She tapped at the microphone at the end "D-do I talk into this?"

[BerrySayRoar]

He smiles friendly towards the guy and heads to the action section of the store and found the first transformer movie which, in his opinion, was the best out of the four.

[Flagmauth]

Takeshi

Stepping into the cargo area, the biggest thing that he noted was the noise. The next thing that he noted was the containers. Most of them were stock cars, used for transporting animals. It was very hard to see into the ones nearby, on account of the lighting inside the cars not being fantastic...but there was something rather large being moved on the other side of the tracks towards a loading bay. As in larger than an automobile.

"You in the hat! Yes, you! What're you doing in here?" Striding towards them was a rather irritated-looking man with slicked-back brown hair. Caster informed him.

Sigyn

Troy had his on as well. Up in the cockpit, so did Rider. The other Master nodded. "Yeah. It'll pick up your voice and send it straight to our headsets so we can hear you over all this racket. Sorry about that, by the way, but the choice was between firepower and soundproofing," he said, nodding at the rather large gun turrets on either side near the front of the cabin.

The helicopter's door slid shut as it began to lift off the roof, Rider proving his worth as a pilot by how smooth the flight was being so far. They began to ascend and head north, towards the harbor.

Joseph

"That is the weirdest armor I've ever seen," Saber said, looking at the robots on the cover of the movie.

[A Blind Guy]

"Takeshi Zarado, Magus enforcer, an enforcer of the laws of the Magi, the Magi that need enforcers to enforce the laws set for the magi, those magi. I was sent over by an anonymous tip of a suspicious looking container." Takeshi takes out his badge.

[Flagmauth]

The man squinted at his badge and then him and then finally the car. "No you weren't. It's a stock car. You never seen a train before?"

[A Blind Guy]

"Course I have, you wouldn't believe what some morons try to smuggle in those things, but that's not what I'm here for." Takeshi gestures to the object on the other side of the train cars. "that is what I was called about. May I speak to the one in charge?"

[Flagmauth]

"What, you don't think I'm in charge?"

[BerrySayRoar]

"Well it's not really armor actually. They are large robots that can change to any vehicles." He turns the cover over to show her the back.

[Flagmauth]

"Oh. That's...strange."

[Helsing]

Sigyn looked out the window, pure wonder on her face "This is amazing!"

[A Blind Guy]

"In my line of work you can never be sure, my apologies."

[BerrySayRoar]

"It is I'll admit but it is a good film." He then rented the movie and heads back to the hotel, slowlyrealizing that they may not have a dvd player.

[Flagmauth]

Sigyn

The helicopter flew out over the harbor and out to sea, ascending the whole way. There wasn't any visible destination, no islands in the harbor and no boats...besides, not like they'd be ascending to get to a boat, right?

Takeshi

"Good," said with a single nod of affirmation. "Besides, there's absolutely nothing illicit, illegal or ill-intended about what I'm offloading here. I even paid for the shipping. In real money! Can you believe that?"

Joseph

Saber shrugged. "I guess I'll find out. Are we just heading back to watch the movie or is there anything else we're doing today?"

[BerrySayRoar]

"Yesh, lets head back to the hotel and watch the movie."

[Helsing]

"So... where are we going?" Sigyn asks, trying to locate where the landing platform was.

[Flagmauth]

JOSEPH

Saber didn't protest that, figuring if she got bored after the movie she could always go out and have a look around.

SIGYN

"You're looking the wrong way. Can't see it until we get in close enough anyway, which should be a...bout a second ago, apparently."

Blinking into view and surrounded by that same pearlescent, almost shadowy field that must be what hid it from outside was...well, it was very strange.

Easily larger than a football field, it was a massive stone temple, sitting atop a floating area of terrain almost large enough to be an island in the sky. Gold decorations gleamed around windows, doors, and along patterns in the stone masonry, and what seemed to be the main building was lit from within by an unearthly, fiery glow. This was a Noble Phantasm: the Temple of Solomon. But it wasn't Rider's, his information didn't update at all.

[Helsing]

Needless to say, Sigyn's jaw dropped.

Archer's eyes widened, the closest form of emotional change to happen to his face since Troy had known him.

"That's... big." Sigyn comments.

[A Blind Guy]

"Real money? that's just a myth. Since you clearly have nothing to hide, would you please elaborate to me what that is being unloaded over there?" Takeshi gestures to the larger-than-automobile object.
