Cmpuncle:<br/>As your trio walks along, the wind shifts and Berserkers eyes widen. She gets in front of you and Izzy and motions for the two of you to stand back. She adopts a defensive posture and growls, "show yourself!"<br/>A taller woman with her hair tied back in a simple ponytail wearing a white blouse and jeans steps forward from an alleyway up ahead. She is soon followed by an older woman wearing simple clothes and a warm smile. Her hair reaches down to her shoulders in a style typically worn by younger women, though it is white with age.<br/>"Calm down, Berserker. I just want to say hi to your master," the younger of the pair says with a dismissive gesture to your servant. With equal ease, she disregards your servant and turns her attention to you.  "Best of luck, master of Berserker. You'll need it." She turns on her heel and motions for the older woman to follow along. Moments later they seem to vanish without a trace.  You catch a glimpse of a stat sheet for the unknown servant before she disappears. Strangely enough, many of her stats are blotted out or marked unknown.<br/><br/>???: ????<br/>Str: C<br/>End: ???<br/>Agl: C<br/>Magic: ???<br/>Luck: EX<br/>Noble Phantasm: ???<br/>???<br/><br/>-----------------------------------<br/>Undercover:( OOC: you only figured out what I did on accident. And it's not that dirty, since you can hear what he said now that you figured it out.  No telling the others though. )<br/><I can hear you master, but you seem to be unable to hear me. We have company. Archer has shown up with his master. They appear to be waiting for you.><br/>Salem leads you and the boy to her office within the church. She sits down and offers a seat to the two of you. Her office seems to be neat and orderly, though you can see a journal that seems out of place sitting on her desk. It would appear she was writing something in it that she had yet to finish before an interruption.  Without preamble, she starts speaking, "First off,  as one of my colleagues would say, 'Welcome to gods shithole!'  You've been chosen by the holy grail to participate in one of the ugliest battles ever known. The rules are simple:<br/>"1. The church is neutral ground. In the event that your servant dies or is unable to continue fighting, you are urged to return here and forfeit. I and my colleagues will endeavor to protect you."<br/>"2. No battles during the day, or out in the open where people can see you. We're responsible for keeping this from the general public. The harder you make that for us, the worse we'll make your life," she says with a 'sweet' smile that is anything but sweet.<br/>"3. Keep destruction to a minimum. We realize this may not be easy with Servants clashing, so please do your best."<br/>"The rest is up to your discretion.  If you wish to back out, now would be the time to let me know."<br/>Her official speal over, Salem's demeanor seems to relax.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------<br/>ninja:<br/>Your assembled crew begins to dig into their breakfast as Saber does a half bow, "I would hardly call myself an expert. I know enough to get by, but my skills lie in combat." He too takes his place at the table and begins to eat as well. "As my king is fond of saying, hunger is the enemy. "<br/><br/>Defender chimes in, the breakfast waking him up a bit. "While I believe this is a prime location, and the composition of our team is excellent, we must avoid over-confidence. Battles aren't won by strength alone.  It all will come down to the abilities of those we face, and how well we can work together. On that note, you should know that my servant and I are both primarily defensive. Saber is more capable than I in Offense for sure, but his defensive abilities are nothing to sneeze at. From what I can tell, Casters offensive abilities are highly lacking, considering his class, but his ability to summon reinforcements offsets that weakness. That leaves you, Vincent. What are your strengths?"<br/>Before you can answer, a strange noise resonates through the air. "It would seem we have company," Defender says with a frown, "seems to be an ordinary human though." Moments later, the doorbell rings. "Mr. Wheeler?! Are you home?! This is lieutenant Danson with the Dynast City Police Department. I'd like to ask you some questions."<br/>
