>Bear with me if I start fucking this up.
>It has been a while.

I shift uncomfortably in my seat, watching the movie disinterestedly. Sakura seems to have forgotten that she was trying to distract me, caught up in the film as she is.

I glance towards the empty seats where Rin and Saber should be, and then turn back to the action on screen. Apparently there's a musical number happening now?

I close my eyes and think, trying to reason out why some of the girls are trying to sneak around and keep me watching the movie.

HOREEEEE SHEEEEET

[x[ Grope Sakura
>>
I start to stand, and Sakura grabs my arm. "Sempai?"

"I just have to use the restroom." I tell her with a smile. She relaxes and continues watching the movie as I walk down the aisle.

Stepping out of the darkened theater, I walk across to the restroom trying to puzzle out what's going on when someone bumps into me. "Sorry." She mumbles, distractedly. After I wave her off I walk into the bathroom. Splashing some water on my face I can't help the creeping feeling that something's..... amiss.

I frown into the mirror for a long moment as a couple of things click into my mind. Saber's expression when she left the theater was confused but serious. Sakura mumbling something as I walked away from the chairs, possibly to Rider. The most immediate thing that comes to mind-

"My wallet is gone." I pat my pocket for a moment, realizing it should've been poking me from where I was leaning on the counter. "Where- Did that girl take my wallet?!" I step outside the bathroom and loo around. She's not in the lobby, and from the angle she was walking she's left the theater.

She couldn't have gone far.

>Actions?
>>
>>28169278
Hunt her down!
>>
Okay... brief recap:
Before we went to the movies, Rider saw our dream the previous night about the fire and told everyone else about the dream and how we have some serious mental issues.
Illya gives us the heads up on that.

>"Rider told me about last night. Told all of us, actually."
>"Oh? Any thoughts?"
>"Any-" She stops, giving me a weird look before sighing and pulling me into a hug. It's tighter that I thought she was capable of. "Today's going to be really weird for you, I think."

Rin tells us we're going to Shinto right after breakfast.
>"We need to be more proactive." Rin answers simply. "We don't really have any viable leads to work with, and the best we have is something about the runes acting strangely."

Rin has a few familiars flying about while we're out, looking around.

>"The plan is recon and leveraging our presence to get a reaction. What we actually DO is less important." She answers, matter-of-factually.

We settle on a movie to kill time, when Rin and Saber suddenly leave. Sakura takes Saber’s seat, and when we ask Sakura about why Rin and Saber left, she avoids the question. We ignore it, and go to the bathroom to call Rin, and Saber picks up.

>"Saber? Where did the two of you run off to?"
>"Oh." She hesitates, and there's a slight rustling noise. "Just.. something that needed doing. Nothing to be concerned about."
>"... Oh-kaaaay...." I respond, quirking an eyebrow. "Are you going to be back before the movie's over?"
>She gives me a non-committal response before asking me to save some popcorn and hanging up.

And that is where we left off last thread.

With the wallet missing, they probably went to buy something. Now, did they buy something for us, or something else, or a pack of condoms

The implication was that our wallet was taken by the girl who bumped into us on our way to the bathroom, not that it was missing since everyone else left.
>>

>>
I sigh, rolling my eyes. I never really expected today to be relaxing anyway.

I step outside the theater, and look around trying to see which way the girl went.

I stand on the street outside, looking around when Rider's voice whispers in my ear. "I thought you were using the bathroom."

"I was." I respond after making sure nobody's watching or listening to me. "Right now I'm trying to see where the girl who took my wallet went."

".... you can't even make it through a movie without something happening to you?" She asks, equal parts confused and exasperated. "What did she look like?"

"She..." I hesitate. "I don't know."

"Well, finding her's going to be fun and easy."

"No, I was looking right at her and I can't remember what she looked like."

"... What?"

"I don't get it either." I respond, looking around.

"That way." I point, seeing her round a corner. I take off running after her, while Rider follows. I make it to the corner and see her ducking into an alley across the street, clearly trying to outrun me.

"Shirou, Ilya and Sakura are still in the theater." Rider tells me as I start to cross the street. "One of us should head back."

"Alright." She responds, and I feel her leaving. I enter the alleyway a moment later, and see the girl several levels above me on the fire escape, looking down at me.

She's headed for the roof.

I jump and grab the bottom of the railing, and moments later I'm racing up the stairs behind her. At the top of the building, she takes off across the rooftops, and I pursue her. We finally get to a small side street and she leaps, narrowly catching the ledge on the other side.

I run, throwing myself at the far roof as hard as possible. I watch her stare at me, incredulous. I watch her face grow more shocked as it becomes obvious that I'm not going to make the jump, and crash into the wall about ten feet below her. Hard.

Luckily, this building has a rough texture to it, so maybe I can NOT fall to my death over this.

I manage to scramble up the side of the building, rolling onto my feet and charging after her. She makes it as far as the roof of the next building when I catch up to her and grab her. She almost loses her balance and crashes before turning to me. The hat's been knocked off her head, and I finally get a good look at her.

"..... I know you." I say, thinking back. "We go to the same school?"

"Please...." She begins, before a familiar voice cuts her off.

"It's alright. You did fine." I let her go, and turn to look at Avenger. "You should return his wallet, it served it's purpose."

She reaches into her pocket with a shaking hand, and slowly pulls out my wallet, returning it to me. "..... Sorry."

"It's fine?" I return uncertainly. "What's going on?"

"My sister touched a weird marking at the mall, some kind of graffiti." She says, scared. "She said it looked like one at her school, student council business." She starts shaking. "When she touched it, she started getting sick-"

"It's fine." Avenger says, reassuringly. "I promised to help her and I will. I just have one little piece of business to attend to first." He waves his hand, and the girl starts to collapse. I catch her, and lower her to the ground slowly. As I do, I see what looks like black ink flow up from under her shirt and fly back to Avenger. "There, memory alteration complete. She won't remember any of this."

"Alright, why bother with something so elaborate? I KNOW you have a phone with my number. It's not like I wouldn't be willing to talk."

"Well, yeah. But that wouldn't physically separate you from everyone else without rousing undue suspicion." he responds, walking a few paces away. "We're pretty rapidly losing control of the situation here."

"We?"

"Well yes, you've been running the Hero side of things like I've been running the villains, between us the situation was well in hand even if we might be playing at odds." He frowns. "Now things are just..." He throws his hands up. "I don't even know. Zouken's apparently killed Kirei off, and now he's doing something to try and flip Sakura, Assassin's COMPLETELY off the Radar, Berserker's apparently Alive and doing god knows what or where, and now I think Archer's planning to double cross me."

Wait, we didn't happen to ask calls for assistance to Archer within this time period, did we?

"Distract me?"

Oh, right. Speaking of which - what do we do with her? I feel bad leaving her here. Do we bring her to the harem until she wakes up?

I run for the edge, finding a convenient fire-escape and dropping back to the street.

I race back to the Theater, slipping back inside as the credits begin to roll. I push my way back through the crowd of people, and find myself standing at the top of the seating, looking down at Zouken standing just in front of the screen. Our eyes meet, and he smiles. Rider's slowly backing up the aisle staring at him, quietly dragging Sakura along as she does.

Sakura meanwhile glances back to me and mouths my name, almost confused.

Ilya's simply staring down her nose at Zouken as if she's disappointed.

"This is what you've been reduced to? Attempting to scare children in a movie theater? For shame, Makiri."

"You say that name like it should mean something." He responds easily, smiling at her. "We're all after a thing that can be grasped by only a single person. Did you expect me to play nicely with such a prize at stake?"

"You grow increasingly desperate. And Reckless. Tell me worm, is cheating death really all that's left for you?"

Zouken merely laughs, throwing his head back and letting out a long howling cackle. "If you think that's all that's at stake, the you have no right to call ME a fool!" He turns back to Sakura. "The offer is still open, but I cannot guarantee it will be for much longer. It's difficult magic to work when I'm so badly.... distracted." He then turns back to me, smiling. "Ah, Shirou! I see Avenger failed to keep his end of the Bargain. Again. Tell me, are you also playing everyone against each other, or is that the only bad habit your brother failed to pass on?"

Both Rin and Saber are top-tier magus/servant. It'll be fine, they'll probably even try to avoid confrontation alltogether
Unless Saber decides to go nuts or just will want to impress Shirou

Fools, he's made of worms and immortal. Either hit him with THIS, or our old buddy Gram. Neither will kill him but they'll still hurt like a bitch. Gae Bolg likely won't do much to him.

While we're at it, hit him in the dick.

Hey.

Hey Guys.

Anyone remember what the game breaking plans as revealed by AC-Guy were?

I think it is time to dust them off and have another look at them.

>>28172560
I think the Harpe would freak out Rider more than anything.
>>
>>28172560
As Gram didn't finish the job last time AND tried to make us murder happy, I think it's on the back up list. Harpe Go!
>>
We should just walk out. We don't know how to kill him, and it's the middle of the day, inside of a public building, that we expect to be full of people soon.
>>
>>28172628

Well after knowing what it did to us, AC-Guy wrote that Shirou would better resists its effects the next time.
>>
>>28172628
It would have finished the job if we had kept stabbing, and it did incapacitate him enough that the sun would have done it for us. We just underestimated vampiric durability.

As to the murderhappy, if you know its coming it's not a problem. It just caught us off guard the first time because we didn't know it would have that effect.
>>
>>28172411
Tell Rider to set up a mini Bloodfort on the room. It won't be effective, hasty as it is, but it'll keep people from escaping per its abilities. Then we go town on Zouken with everything on hand.

Rule Breaker, Gae Bolg, Gram, Harpe, Caladbolg II, Durandall, Hrunting, Kanshou and Bakuya, and Assassin's throwing daggers for good measure.
And the kitchen knife, coz Shirou REALLY wanted to cook that day, damnit.

But seriously, stab the old worm.
>>
>>28172711
Get the hell out of there.

The longer we're here dicking around, the more time there is for Rin/Saber to get ambushed by Gil and/or for them to be fighting him without backup.

Zouken still thinks he has enough clout with Sakura to get her to side with him in at least some respects, and if we attack now she might still be unstable enough that she has Rider stop us from trying to kill him.

We're also in a populated building, and don't know where Assassin is. It's probably a bad idea to start something.
>>
>>28172831
>Not using Dainsleif
He literally cannot heal if we hit him with that.

Maybe we shouldn't attack?
>>
>>28172943
I think we dodge that due to the fact that projected copies stop existing when we're done with them. Unless it goes into overdrive due to that fact and makes all our dice rolls default to 1 when we try to use it.
>>
>>28172943
Would you prefer Caladbolg? The arcing attack would probably stand a good chacne to wipe him out in one blow, but it risks collateral damage.

And if Lancer hears we used it, we will never live it own.

Bazzet.

>>28173071
>>28173075
That's neat, but why is this quest still going then? Bazett's broken as fuck

So should we summon The glory of Ten Powers and retreat?

or we can just retreat. I'm just itching to summon something swag.
>>
>>28173071
>>28173075
Once we figure out how to let Caster stay in our time, if it's replicable, we need to share it with them.

I put a hand on Ilya and Sakura, and start to gently pull them out of the theater.

"Oh? Are you just going to leave?"

"As opposed to....?" I lead, staring at him. He frowns, and seems to recognize that I'm not just going to lose my temper at the drop of a hat. He stays silent and watchful the entire time we walk out of the theater.

"Alright." Ilya says. "We need to find Rin and Saber."

"Already on it." I respond, dialing her number. It rings out, and goes to a message about how Rin hasn't set up her voice-mail. "Well then."

"Any ideas?" Rider asks. Ilya looks away thoughtfully, but Sakura's a little to shaken to contribute at the moment.

>>28173144
"I know it was all supposed to be a surprise or whatever, and you can be frustrated with me later, but if we're going to find them, I kind of need to know what the REAL plan was for today so we can guess where they might've been going."

>>28173191
If Gil is taking anyone anywhere, we're probably in trouble.

>>28173212

Well all servants can sense other servants in a local area and Rider isn't picking anything up. That means they've moved some distance. Assuming Gilgamesh is with them, it's a good bet they're moving to the nearest open area for a big duel.

Given we are in the city, lets go visit the park.

"Where did they go, anyway?" I ask, looking at the others.

"Rin was scouting something with her familiars." Ilya responds. "I'm not sure where she went, but she said she wasn't going far."

"Scouting something?"

"She said she noticed something strange."

"If she's close maybe we can just find her?" Rider asks.

"It's an idea." Sakura says, hesitantly.

We should also ask WHEN she said she noticed something strange; if it was something she noticed a while ago, it could be the reason we were heading into this section of town to begin with, and thinking back on previous scouting trips could jog our memory on something that might've merited further investigation.

If it was something she only noticed once we got here however, it's a more recent phenomenon -- probably ongoing -- and spotting it ourselves and following the trail could lead us to them.

Since it was mentioned that the mysterious runes were going to be a subject of investigation, since they were one of our only leads, we should prioritize checking areas near any of the runes as well.

Especially in light of what Avenger let slip regarding the runes with his using a girl as a lure.
>"My sister touched a weird marking at the mall, some kind of graffiti." She says, scared. "She said it looked like one at her school, student council business." She starts shaking. "When she touched it, she started getting sick-"

It might not be Gil at all; it could be the runes going active and disabling them.

Supporting this.
It's how we always start our search anyway. Have Rider carry us to the high ground so we don't need to exert (and roll dice) ourselves.

Bellerophon? Or too much civvie attention?

She can probably just grab us and jump

Either Gilgamesh has them, or Assassin has them. If it's assassin, then fuck that we're not finding them - just wait for Z to send us a ransom.

Gilgamesh will probably take Saber to wherever Avenger and he have set up base, assuming she doesn't fight.
let's check out shit along any lines from the theatre to a known Gil/Avenger hideout. Only one I recall off the top of my head is the cabin in the woods, though the ruins of Ilya's home might qualify.
Rider can quickly recon a large area on her Pegasus.
We can magic recon a large area with magic senses.
Ilya and Sakura dead weight, unless one of them knows something about scrying and hasn't to-

Discussing what we want to do is suffering.

Hope you get your 4chan fixed. Any ETA on the next thread?

>>28174167
Welp, it was nothing short of a miracle in comparison to the last couple of threads.

Archived.

Seems we got some new blood as well, or the long wait needed some memory jogging, so here.

Aw fuck.
I screwed up the thread number in the archive.
It's supposed to be "Fate/Stay Again, Fourty-Eighth Verse."

I am so sorry. Didn't see the last thread squeezed between the two Dec 2012 threads.
