Rose Andrews [i]City outskirts, foreclosed shipping facility[/i] __________________________ Rose just finished up a sale on the purchase of a property on the outskirts of town. It was the perfect location. It was a shipping facility about three stories talk at most. It already had a gate with barbed wire surrounding it and if the surveillance cameras could be reactivated, it would provide almost universal coverage without using magic. The area was surrounded by 2 blocks of other abandoned and foreclosed buildings. This part of the city had got hit hard when the economy tanked and the company Rose bought from was happy to get rid of it. Rose walked a complete circle around the facility never letting her left side face the building. This would be her home until her death or her victory. She wanted to give it a proper check before moving in. The doors and windows had been boarded up with wood preventing access to looters. Rose thought it proper to leave it in place. Between the perimeter face and the building was a flat concrete pavement. Not a lot of cover if someone were to walk in. The building itself was three stories tall and in the shape that looked like a letter C. The loading platforms were in the middle of the C. This meant than no one could see a vehicle being loaded unless they physically enter the premises. Rose used one of the loading docks to enter the building to avoid detection. She scanned the interior of the building till she found a suitable room for the summoning. Rose set about drawing the most elaborate summoning circle she could. She used her own custom style as was her way. Instead of using blood Rose used a form of metallic silver paint. It was specially designed to channel mana. Rose stood at the circle and began to call out her summons. She extended her hand out and began: [i] Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill and empty them each time. I dwell not in the boundless light of Heaven Nor do I dance in the bottomless pits of Hell. I cry out to those who suffered also in the same abyss. I Will shoulder all the burden for all sins to come. Be me damn or be me redeemed, In accordance with the approach of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer. [/i] The circle glowed a strange blue first, then a eerie green. Finally, as Rose finished it glowed an angry red. It was down. Rose had did her summon. The grail had to do the rest. [@Rosette Christopher] ------------------- [Assassin, Room 706, New Hangover Hotel] Simo heard the words echo across eternity to where he was. He was finally being summoned to be in a Holy Grail war. He knew what it meant, of course. Everyone knew. It was a chance that he would gladly take. Simo answered the call of the grail in a heartbeat. Simo appeared to his master accompanied by an icy arctic wind that chills down to the bone. He was dressed in almost pure white, ideal for winter warfare. A similar white mask covered his face. From behind the mask, He eyed his master. This was the woman who summoned him. So be it. Simo bowed and introduced himself, "Greetings, I have been summoned here in the form of assassin. Bound in pact, I will serve you till such time as I deliver you the grail" [@Paradox Witch]
