Interacting with: [@Turboshitter] Albert Prelati

A blank, unamused stare, like a calm preceding a storm. 

Fortunately though, Albert managed to act fast enough to avoid the spirit’s retribution. Shivering uncomfortably at the feeling of the slime snaking its way off her body, she clicked her tongue irately. But she would accept it for now. Loathe as she was to admit it, it was the only way out of that situation. But if it ever happened again…

But what was this? A challenge? “Pfft. Of course!” Roland huffed, “A bullet is a bullet. Even if they had Archer shooting at us, it would take more than that to claim my head.” Fired from an enchanted high penetration anti-materiel rifle or not, it still wouldn’t be fast enough to render moot a Servant’s reaction time. She grabbed Albert and threw him over her vaguely slime-slicken pauldron.

“Directions?” she asked before making a beeline to the forest.

So many preparations, and an uncertain amount of time by which to complete them.  While nighttime was a standard for magus activity, it was the afternoon and sundown was rapidly approaching. Even then, most rules - especially the unofficial ones - tended to go out the window when you started evoking demigods from another plane of existence. 

An enemy could come for them at any moment, so there was no time to waste. Fortunately, standard arrays were relatively quickly deployed by a magus of his calibre. It was the esoteric ones that took more time, but the basics should suffice, especially if they were to go out hunting in the night and especially since Lancer was also getting to work.

But, still crouching to the ground, immersed in the earth and the rich leylines of Fuyuki City, Sosthenes stopped and let his circuits cool. Elsewhere, in audible range, his apprentice had issued a question to him.  The professor looked down to his handiwork, then in the direction to his apprentice. Deciding this was as good a time as any for a tea break and a small lesson, the professor headed into the kitchen and began boiling water.

As he waited, Sosthenes spoke: “It all depends on the mechanics behind your Bounded Field. How it’s made and how it functions, most of all.” A cop-out answer so far, but he wasn’t finished yet as Ren might expect from a master geomancer. “If, for example, you had to array boundary runes, the breadth of the array would influence the size of the field. But it’s best to have a wide field, else it’s liable to be only useful once your enemy’s on top of you.” He stopped speaking, as the water for his tea had come to boil. Pouring himself out a glass and dropping a bag inside, he continued. “But there are ways to make a large, static field useful in a crowded area. If it’s offensive - which I assume, given your concern - we could combine it with a battle censure Bounded Field beforehand, turn it into a trap by indicating it’s a dueling ground and springing it when the enemy enters range. Or, depending on how it works, you may be able to incorporate a conditional system.” He took a sip. “I recall encountering one in this town a few years ago, for example.”
