				Late Night.&nbsp; Dublin Airport<br>Runway lights cast an eery sheen upon the slick pavement of the runway as a small passenger plane touches down.&nbsp; The passenger cabin is practically deserted save for two individuals seated next to one another.&nbsp; One of the passengers, a frail looking girl of approximately 16 years, with pale skin, silvery hair, and red eyes closes the book she had been reading before stuffing it in a carry-on bag labeled, "Izzy."&nbsp; She looks to her companion, Zane Fortune, and offers him a warm smile, "Well, here we are, home sweet home. My family has taken the liberty of providing us with some accommodations. We won't be using the estate because that would be the obvious location for a base, though we are free to use it as a last resort. We can discuss any questions you may have once we get where we're going." She hesitates for a moment, before continuing, "are you sure about this? I mean, it's not too late to back out. Once you've summoned your servant, you're in for better or for worse."<br><br>-----------------------------------------------<br>Meanwhile, elsewhere in Dublin,<br>Ryuuji Sagara has just finished the ritual to summon his servant at a location of his choosing.&nbsp; In the midst of the smoke, stands Caster.<br><br>-----------------------------------<br>Roughly midnight ish,<br>A small explosion punctuates the rainy night in the suburbs of Dublin. Curiously, no one seems to react to the noise, as if nothing unusual had happened at all.&nbsp; No sirens blare in the distance, no dogs bark, no one rushes to their windows, most sleep soundly, unaware of what has just happened. <br>"Good, it looks like my bounded field kept the ritual contained," comments a young woman who extricates herself from a pile of assorted things in what appears to be a bedroom. The woman is dressed in raindrop camo-print, baggy cargo&nbsp; pants, a black t-shirt, and a black cloth vest. What little of her hair isn't covered by a simple, red, skull-cap bandana falls in a bowl-cut style. The majority of it is dyed lavender, with a shock of green hair framing her left eye. <br><br>"Gotta say, I didn't expect you to make such an entrance, guess I should have expected it though," she directs towards Lancer. She slowly walks around her servant, inspecting her, as if appraising a car or a piece of machinery. "Amazing, to think that you're a legendary hero."&nbsp; Her expression turns to shock as she realizes how that probably came across, "W-whoa, I didn't mean to say it like that. I just meant that it's inspiring to think that I was able to summon a legendary person such as yourself. Anyway, my name is Brianna McLeod, and if you'll accept me as your master, I vow to do everything in my power to ensure we win the holy grail war!"<br>--------------------------------<br>Deep in the bowels of the McFarlane estate, in a room that looks like a training dojo, Assassin finds herself in front of an old man in red robes.&nbsp; Though his age is apparent, he looks quite healthy and vibrant, like a stereotypical martial arts master. He holds the staff in his hands with a grip that is in no way weak or feeble. Upon his head, he has a small copse of greying hair, though he is by no means going bald.&nbsp; His face is very aquiline, all sharp angles and little warmth. Upon Assassin's arrival, a cold, mirthless smile crosses his lips.&nbsp; "Welcome back, Assassin.&nbsp; You may call me Caster, and with you at my side, this grail war is all but won. Do you accept me as your master?"<br><br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;

				"Yes I'm positive, we're going to stop this ridiculous mess if at all possible, and free you from this unfair fate.&nbsp; Let's get going the sooner we can summon a servant the sooner we can figure out how we'll be able to best accomplish that."<br><br>With that Zane closed down his laptop he had had out during the flight and stowed it back in the carrier bag he had over his shoulder.<br><br>"We've still gotta pick up my clothes from the terminal, let's go."<br><br>As Izzy took his arm and they made their way off the plane and into the terminal heading towards the baggage claim, Zane's mind couldn't help but reflect on how he had met Izzy.&nbsp; He had been packing, getting ready to head to this exact town when someone had knocked at the door, which hadn't happened for years, since before he had been turned.&nbsp; When he had opened the door there she was, a very beautiful young woman who very quickly flashed a set of fangs, letting him know that she could be trusted, at least as far as another vampire could be trusted upon a first meeting.&nbsp; He had welcomed her in and she had quickly told him why she was there.&nbsp; That she was looking for someone to take over for her family as a master in this "Holy Grail War".&nbsp; How she had explained why she needed to pass her command symbols on to someone else.&nbsp; Shortly after wards he had vowed to find some way to avoid her fate, no matter what.&nbsp; All this only strengthening his resolve as they approached the baggage claim where he quickly found his bag since it was the only one left from their flight.<br><br>"Well, go ahead and lead the way my dear."

				Standing there in the midst of the circle that had been used to summon her, Assassin spent a few seconds calmly regarding the man who had summoned her.&nbsp; She was reminded almost instantly of her last husband, though no modern man could ever hope to compare to a noble king from the Age of Heroes.&nbsp; Certainly, this man called Caster was lacking the charisma needed to rule over an entire country, though he was not without his own sort of appeal.&nbsp; It was more in how well he wore his age that she was reminded of her old husband, the way he remained strong and dignified, even in the face of graying hair and diminishing senses.&nbsp; The lack of warmth, too, brought back memories of that other man, though that coldness was not a trait she approved of.<br><br>Hopefully, her summoner would prove to be more malleable than that man had been...<br><br>The summoned Servant, Assassin, stood in stark contrast to the Master who had summoned her.&nbsp; Where he appeared to be old and strong, her appearance was young and delicate.&nbsp; Where his features were sharp, hers were soft.&nbsp; That coldness of his that she disapproved of was countered in her by a definite warmth, or perhaps an inner fire might have been a better description, a raw presence that it was almost impossible to find unappealing.&nbsp; Added on top of that was a distinctly unearthly beauty that she carried about her, her every movement graceful and precise, skin like flawless ivory, raven black hair trailing down her back, even the elegant black dress she wore made more appealing by being draped across her form, rather than the other way around...&nbsp; It was at a level that could only be considered supernatural.<br><br>"You are the magus who summoned me, are you not?"&nbsp; She soon responded to the man's question, stepping out of the circle and closing the distance between them.&nbsp; "In that case, I see little reason not to accept you as my Master, at least at present.&nbsp; I'm sure you'll have the chance to impress me soon enough."<br><br>Perhaps even sooner than he realized, though that would depend greatly on just how well he could resist her natural charm.

He said a chant and each of the seals lights up before five of them flies away from his hand and scatters to different directions. The five papers lands on the ground and lines of magic appears to connect them to each other in the shaped of a five pointed star inside a circle, a rather simple and common magic circle seal base. He then places the last two seals right in the middle of the magic circle in an X position and chants once again as a huge Kanji for Spirit or "Seirei". Finally he steps out of the circle and draws his swords hidden at his dragon tatoo seal on his back. He charged the swords with magic until they both cracles with pure energy before he once against throws them upward. The swords dances in the air as if they have a life of their own for a minute before finally diving straight to the middle of the circle and pierces the crossed seals in the middle and the whole magical circle lights up brighter than ever that it is almost blinding. Satisfied with his progress so far, Ryuuji folds his fingers in a seal gesture and chants, this time in plain Japanese, "Spirit of time, the time has come for our covenant to be fulfilled. From the darkness of oblivion I call thee to come before me. Our will be one and as long as we live, none will stand before us for reality is a dream and dream of the night is reality. COME, GUARDIAN OF BALANCE!!!" <br><br>The magic circle turns blood red and the magical energy is concentrated to the middle of the circle in the shape of a huge multi-color sphere of light which then explodes outward, sending waves of wind and dust around though Ryuuji himself remains unperturbed. As the dust settles, he sees a feminine figure standing on the handle of his swords by the tip of her foot. He raised his right arm to see and finds a command seal in the shape of three circles on top of each other.

She immediately realizes that she is currently standing not on land but on top of two pole-like items and thankful that she has a natural sense of balance once she saw the item gleaming which immediately dawns to her that the are not poles but a pair of swords. She is no cat but she sure has better sense of balance that normal human, otherwise, she'd hate to be killed by her master's own weapon before the war even start. As the dust settles, she sees that she isn't alone inside the room, there is another person and if she is to judge from the person's physique, it is a male and most likely, her master.<br><br>She hops down from the swords into the moonlight which shows that she is a young girl which looked to be around her teen age, though her fox ears and tail tells that she is not entirely human and finally, it also shows that she is completely naked though she doesn't seem to mind of that fact. She continues to approach the man before kneeling before him as she feels the pull of the bond between them which more than anything, confirms that they are master and servant. Still, it is a tradition to ask, <strong>"I am Servant Caster. May I inquire of you, are you my master?"</strong>

				INPC: Izzy<br>Location: Dublin Airport<br>With: Zane<br>Izzy leads the way out of the airport where a black Citroen is waiting for them. She ushers Zane into the car before joining him inside.

You should figure out now if you want to work together with them, or keep your distance. "<br>"We have another master," Izzy asks in disbelief. <br>"Yeah.

From what she can tell, her master seem to be a very serious and driven individual, both trait which she heartily admire. Afterall, only a fool would take the Holy Grail War as a joke or underestimate the severity of it. When her master asked for her to fix her appearance, she is feeling confused for a moment before something suddenly dawns on her as she observes her master's retreating figure , <em>'Of course... human wears clothes and doesn't have animal features....'</em> <br><br>She closes her eyes for a few second and a material seem to appear around her by magic, covering her nakedness with a pure white colored sleeveless top and a skirt of matching color which reach just above her knees. Next, her ears and tails blurs slowly before finally turns completely invisible, leaving her to look completely human.

In the morning, we can learn more about one another. The plan I suggest, milady, is that whenever there is danger, I should do the fighting and you should stay out of harms way. If you must fight, then please leave battling the opponent's servant to me.&nbsp; I refuse to fight enemy masters unless they are a danger to you, so if you want me to dishonor myself, you will have to use a command seal. Other than that, I will follow your orders without question, milady. Do you find this strategy acceptable?"<br><br>She hoped her master was reasonable about her strategy. She did not wish to see her lady harmed in any way, and the easiest way to make sure of that was to protect her at all times. If her lady insisted on fighting, it would make Lancers job much tougher. She had no doubts she would succeed if it came to that but it was not a necessary risk. She certainly did not want a repeat of the last time...&nbsp;

				<span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Servant Caster</span><br>Location: Dublin - Ryuuji Sagara's Apartment<br>With: Her master, Sagara Ryuuji<br><br>Caster had followed her master home and had to admit that the place was just as she had expected of him, "blant" that is although she doubt that he actually owned the place. She had enough information automatically provided by the grail to know that the place where the war happened always changes and she doubted that this one would be any different. Silently, she smirks inwardly as she thought to herself, 'Not for long... not with me here...' <br><br>When her master asked for her real identity, she is actually somewhat reluctant to tell him, mostly due to the possibility of the enemy to be able to extract that information of him. Her fear prove unfounded though when she tried to use her magic to read his mind... only to find that she is unable to do it or more like, she was blocked from it. Enough to say, she was impressed, for a mere human to be able to block her mind reading magic is rare yet here her master could and if she couldn't penetrate his mind protection, she doubt that anyone else can. With that in mind, she decided that she could trust him with the information and told, <strong>"My name is...."</strong><br><br>One hour later, both her and her master has acquired enough information about each other to hopefully able to fight together efficiently. Truth to be told, even she was surprised just how compatible she and her master is at least in theory. When her master stood up and suggested that they retire for the night while telling her his plan for the next day she simply nodded her agreement although she was slightly surprised that her master offered her the second bedroom. She had expected to sleep on the couch and a small smile creeps on her face as she thought to herself, <em>'Well, maybe he isn't as cold as he look....'</em><br><br>Once her master is gone behind the closed door of his bedroom, she sighs as her "clothes" glows for a moment before disintegrating into particles of lights and her fox features comes back to view, leaving her just as when she was summoned a little over an hour ago. Sure, that illusion magic she used to cover her ear and tails as well as creating the "clothes" are minor ones and barely even drain her magic pool but she still feels better without them, mentally at least since to her, wearing clothes and hiding her animalistic features are just as natural as wearing a straitjacket, not at all. She then walked into the bedroom that her master had allowed for her to use and sat on the bed as if testing their softness before laying on it in curling position. Soon, she was fast asleep.

The effect is immediate as her eyes snapped open in full alert and her trails are goes completely straight with the furs standing up on their ends. She leaped from her position and growls as she stood on all four of the bed facing the window. The sound got closer and closer and she immediately got ready to attack whoever is disturbing her precious sleep. Suddenly, just when the sound reached her so close that she though she would go deaf, it was retreating slowly until she couldn't hear it anymore.<br><br>It was a while later until she finally decided that whatever or whoever made that despicable noise are gone and relaxed once again. She walked to the window of her room and looked outside to see that the sun is already up. Her ears twitched as she heard that her master has also woken up and a small grin appeared on her lips. She opened her door room and peeked through it as her grin widen at the sight that the door to her master's room is still closed. She walked completely out of the door and looked around before settling on the kitchen and thought to herself, <em>'Hmm... maybe I should make breakfast for him....'</em> She made her way to the kitchen and hummed a pleasant tune as she studied the appliances available for her, last time she cooked was more than three centuries ago and the tools was extremely different. It was a while until she finally determined that she had the gist of which appliance was used for what and how to operate them. Soon, she started to cook all the while humming cheerily that even her tails are swishing around to reflect her happiness.<br><br>Her ears twitched once again as she heard the door that lead to her master's room opened and turned her head to the side. She smiled at her master and said, <strong>"Ohaiyo gozaimasu <sup>1</sup>, Ryuu-sama. Please take a seat, breakfast will be ready soon"</strong><br><br><sup>1</sup>: Hello / Good morning / Good Afternoon / Good Evening / Good Night.

He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and sighs before leaving his bed, he had always been a light sleeper at best but he still didn't appreciate being woken up by the sound of a police siren. He did his usual stretching and workout to get himself completely awake before finally heading to the shower room ensuite to his bedroom. Part of him was curious on why the police pass through his apartment, granted his apartment cost a lot to rent but its located at supposedly one of the most quite and safe district in the whole city. For trouble to showed up there enough to get police coming with siren blaring must be very extraordinary.<br><br>It took a while before he finally exited the shower and put on a pair of black jeans along with a leather belt of similar color though he forgone the shirt for now. Suddenly, he recognize or to be exact smelled something foreign: Smell of food and good one at it. Out of curiousity, he walked toward the door and thought to himself, <em>'There are only two people in this place... me and her.... What comes over her to cook? Last time I check, servant doesn't need to eat... or more like they can get by without food.'</em><br><br>As he opened the door, the smell got stronger and he had to admit, whatever whoever is concocting is most likely going to be good enough to satisfy even the most headstrong food critic. Once he completely walked pass the door though, he never expected what he saw. His servant is cooking and moving expertly over the kitchen area completely naked and her animalistic features in full gear. All in all, it was a sight that every hot blooded man would kill to see even once.<br><br>When the servant looked over her shoulder and told him that breakfast would be ready soon, he already schooled his expression back to neutral and merely nod at her silently before taking a seat on one of the chair around what seem to be a dining table. As he sat, he gave the female a once over and had to admit that even by the most picky standard, the girl would still be rated as extremely beautiful. The first time he saw her, though she was naked, it was dark and he couldn't get a good look at her. This time, under the bright morning light, he could pick out things about her physique. From her milky white skin, straight blonde hair with just slight but stylish waves on them that cascades down her back to just above her butt, the tails with yellow fur not unlike the hair with white tip that swish back and forth in rhythm with whatever tune the girl is singing to herself, even her bum look round and perfect. He turned away and walked toward the door to grab the morning paper as he thought to himself, <em>'Well... she's technically a deity... guess its to be expected that she is beautiful.'</em><br><br>Once he got the paper, he walked back to his seat and opened the paper to read it. His eyes never waver from the paper before him as he spoke to the legendary spirit, "After breakfast, we will begin today's activity. Lets see if whatever the incident this morning actually had something to do with the holy war... the last thing we need is a homicidal master or servant going around killing people to empower themselves."

She had just finish her cooking when she hears her master suggesting that they are to begin their activity after breakfast. She place the dishes on the table but doesn't take a seat herself.

The way she carries herself seems at odds with her age, as if she is wise beyond her years, or perhaps less innocent. When she finally arrives at the doorway she visibly relaxes. "This is the room my grandfather set up for you.&nbsp; Please take care of it." She opens the door and from where Assassin is standing, it's obviously a girl's room. Most likely Archer's. "I've left out all my books so you shouldn't have any trouble finding information. I figured since you won't need sleep, you'd probably want something to do. Who knows, might find info on enemy servants in some of those dusty old tomes. Also, this room's really close to grandfathers, in case you need to protect him, though any enemy foolish enough to attack us here would be easy prey for you.&nbsp; If you need anything let me know, I'll be a couple doors down the hall.

The shack, on the outside appearing to be a one story dilapidated building, was in reality a cozy, two story cottage, complete with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, wash room, and dining room on the bottom floor and a loft for a sleeping area above. Several of windows looked out into the park and the surrounding areas that weren't visible from the outside.&nbsp; "My cousin, he liked to practice with bounded fields. Unless you know where to look, it's very hard to notice this place. It also looks abandoned on the outside, so as long as we're careful, we should be able to avoid detection," she says with a wistful grin, surveying the place. Her expression sours a little as she remarks, "In here, we have a lot more privacy, but we also risk destroying the place if the summoning is done improperly. We'd have a servant, but we'd be out a base.

She had designed a simple breakfast for him that she knew would provide him energy and easy to digest. Secretly she thinks to herself, <em>'I used to be a cook for a warrior lord before, this is a piece of cake for me.'</em> She was taken out of her thought as she sees that her master has taken to himself to take the dishes to wash before she manage to tell him that she would gladly do it for him too. When the stoic-ish man walked pass her with order to start the day, she quickly turned to follow him but stopped when she heard his inquiry. If she were to be honest with herself, she feels like pouting when he asked her to hide her features. Despite that those same features had caused her trouble before, she was still very proud of them. Afterall, they were the sign of her mastery and proof of her existence. <br><br>Still, she obeys nonetheless as slowly her ears and tails blur before finally vanish from sight while clothes, this time in the form of a soft light blue thin-strap dress that reaches down just above her knee, appear around her body, mostly because his reason did make sense and that it would be too much trouble to argue with him. At least he hadn't ordered her to stay home instead, otherwise it would have been a stupid order of an epic proportion. Afterall, what good was a servant that couldn't be there to support their master in time of need?<br><br>Finally, with her disguise complete, she turned to her master as she answered his next request, <strong>"Well.... I had been called with another name before but I think that name would have been outdated by now... and using it again would make it easier for the enemies to find my identity...."</strong> She tilts her head slightly to the side with one of her palm supporting it as her thinking pose before she finally straighten herself as she spoke, <strong>"What about.... Mizuki? Izumi Mizuki... yeah, that sounds good."</strong> She nodded several times as a smiles excitedly, proud of her little accomplishment.

In Lancer's day, it was considered dishonorable to fight or die alongside a woman. Now, women openly served in the military and civilian women commonly took self defense classes. In her day, a woman who had combat training, such as herself, was exceedingly rare. The social and political gains women had made were nothing to sneeze at either. And yet, while Lancer found their progress reassuring, she couldn't help but feel somewhat saddened by how far they still had to go.&nbsp; She found herself wondering about her own master. Did she take for granted all these hard won rights? If so, it might be hard for her to understand the trials Lancer had gone through in her day. At least for the battles ahead, she would be judged not by her gender but by her ability to fight and her ability to serve her lady. In both regards, she thought herself more than capable.&nbsp; By promising her the opportunity to fight strong enemies in the name of a master, the grail had already granted her wish.&nbsp; With that in mind, Lancer contemplates what she would ask of the grail if she were to obtain it.

He calmly navigates his way around the things and looks out the window.&nbsp; "It sounds like it's raining outside," he comments thoughtfully.&nbsp; The silence drags on for a moment, before he turns around and faces his servant. " I imagine you have questions for me. Shall we talk while we reorganize?" <br>--------------------------------<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Brianna McLeod</span><br><strong>Where:Bedroom</strong><br><strong>With:Lancer</strong><br><strong>When: morning</strong><br>The night passes without incident. The morning however is a different matter.&nbsp; As the sun rises and warms the land, mist rises from the ground, blanketing the area in a thick fog.&nbsp; A look out the window reveals that visibility has been greatly reduced, so much so that it is nearly impossible to see the ground from your second story vantage point. As the fog gets thicker, the sounds of the city become more dulled and muffled, as if from far away.&nbsp; Brianna jolts upright, holding her right hand. The seals on it appear to be throbbing.

Just then, several heavy knocks sound from the front door.<br>---------------------------------<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Izzy</span><br><strong>Where: Shack</strong><br><strong>With:Zane,Driver</strong><br>Izzy quickly finishes putting her things away as well, though she keeps her umbrella on hand. She opens the bottom drawer of the dresser and starts pulling out various materials. "Okay, we're going to need these to complete the ritual," she says over her shoulder. "Something you should know about this place, it isn't magically extended.&nbsp; This is the actual interior of the building.&nbsp; The bounded field created by my cousin masks the appearance of this building. Furthermore, as you probably noticed when we arrived, the field makes people unconsciously focus their attention on other things. Ordinary people will find themselves preoccupied if they try to look at it, and quickly forget about it as they look away. A trained magus, however, would be able to resist that affect, and would instead see the projected image of an abandoned shack. Luckily, we can reinforce the field and make it harder to detect, but we'll have to be careful of how we do it. But we'll worry about that after summoning your servant." She finishes gathering the materials and starts handing some of them to Zane. <br>-------------------------------------<br><strong>Where: Outside Ryuuji's apartment</strong><br><strong>When: Morning</strong><br>As the Master/Servant pair exit the apartment, the air that meets them is cool and crisp.&nbsp; The sky is characteristically cloudy, and the city is once again coming to life. A couple of apartments down, a couple of kids are already out and about, playing games with one another. Aside from the sirens earlier in the day, it's looking like it's going to be a peaceful Sunday morning in Dublin.

Quite understandable considering that when she was alive, the world was extremely different to what she is currently in.

Those buildings look like they can reach the sky... Incredible....' On the other side though, there are also aspects of the current world that sadden her, the smell of smoke in the air and cold stone and metal buildings surrounds her in contrast to the forest she was accustomed to.<br><br>As they approached the scene with those cars with blaring sirens surrounding a scene, she felt her hairs standing on their ends and immediately looks around cautiously, 'This feeling... there is magical residue around here....'

"This is obviously a trap.&nbsp; If we flee out the windows, we head straight into the fog where our enemy is most likely waiting for an ambush. The fog itself might be dangerous too, so heading into it is not a wise choice. We know for certain somebody is at the door, and it would be a gamble to send the master alone. Either they anticipate we'll flee into the mists, or they're waiting just beyond the door to strike," she thinks telepathically to her master as she cautiously approaches the door. She checks to see if their is an eyehole to see what lies on the other side. She disliked unknowns. The less she knew about her enemy, the less able she was to come up with a counter strategy. The fog manipulation might be the effects of a caster, or perhaps someone whose legend involved mist. Either way, their position was no longer a secret.

Far from it, for you see, I have created a special mystic code to allow me some semblance of eyesight."<br>He reaches into his robe and pulls out a pair of glasses which he then places on his face. "In the modern world, there is a technology called sonar, which naval vehicles use to 'see' the surrounding area underwater. By bouncing sound waves off of objects, special equipment can create an image of the area. These glasses function similarly, by applying a minimal amount of prana to them, I can ping my surroundings and see the general shape and location of objects and people. Magi and Servants in particular are really easy to see, because of the prana within them. It's not perfect, but I can get around and most people never figure out that I'm blind. I can't make out detailed features, and I can't read text."&nbsp; He begins to move about the room to demonstrate his point, easily avoiding all the stuff. "Furthermore, I can handle myself in combat with or without my glasses. Like all McFarlanes, I've trained myself for the day I might participate in a grail war, with the full knowledge that I would be participating blind."<br>He stops and looks back towards Assassin, "and let's not forget, since we have made a contract, we have the ability to share perception.&nbsp; As I speak, I'm watching myself talk to you."

As she gets closer to Caster and Ryuuji, it becomes obvious that some of the magical residue in the air is coming off of her, but there are traces of two other distinct energies as well.&nbsp; Her energy is distinct in that it feels more akin to a holy site or a sacred relic, though it is muted compared to the other two.&nbsp; <br>(OOC: Further information on those energy sources requires a roll, if you so choose) <br>--------------------------------------<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Brianna McLeod</span><br><strong>Where:House</strong><br><strong>With:Lancer</strong><br><strong>When: Morning </strong><br>Brianna quickly gets into position behind her servant.&nbsp; As it so happens, the door does have a peephole to see on the other side.&nbsp; On the other side of the door stands a man with raven black hair trailing down his back in a pony tail.&nbsp; He appears to be wearing a black business suit which is kept in immaculate condition.&nbsp; Behind him stands a rather serious man with his arms crossed.&nbsp; He's dressed in a long sleeved denim jacket and jeans with a pair of leather gloves. He alertly surveys the scene, as if expecting an attack at any minute.&nbsp; The man in the suit knocks on the door again, more forcefully. "It's useless pretending you're not home.

Depending on the thaumaturgic tradition, summoning can be accomplished in multiple ways.&nbsp; Normally summoning a legendary individual like a servant would be impossible, however, the grail provides the vessel in the form of the classes, as well as most of the energy needed to actualize a copy of their soul. In simple terms, the grail will do most of the work for us." She briefly looks up from her work and flashes a smile toward Zane before returning to her work. The driver approaches Zane with a strange looking staff and a piece of paper.&nbsp; "You'll need these to finish the ritual. The staff holds the energy necessary to activate the ritual. Memorize the incantation on this piece of paper. When the circle is complete, you need to speak aloud the incantation and then transfer the energy from the staff into the circle."<br>BANG!!<br>Everyone momentarily turns in the direction of the sound. Roughly 60 feet away, a woman stands with a six shooter raised toward the sky.<br>"Howdy yall. Sorry ta crash yer party, but I just couldn't help mahself. How's about we have some fun?" She aims the pistol toward Zane and readies the next round. <br><br><br>

His eyebrow risen slightly as he took in the unique appearance of the girl but it is her magical signature that made him narrow his eyes while he put up his guard despite that he couldn't feel any threatening intent from her. Afterall, his clan is an line of onmyouji exorcists while the girl's aura speaks of someone of the christian or catholic clergy. Moreover, there has been a long history of discord between the two despite that they are supposed to be on the same type of job. <br><br>Onmyoujis dislike the fact that the other party seem hell bend on forcing that their own was is the one true way to exorcism while the Church dislike the fact that Onmyoujis are using the power of other spirits that their own god. It is therefore not much of a surprise that when the girl beckoned him to follow, Ryuuji turned to his servant and gave her a nod along with an eye signal to be on guard for anything. It is only the fact that there are too many witnesses around that prevents him from drawing his blades against this female.
