[center] [h1][color=a187be]Nenet Isis Titania[/color][/h1] [h3]Bellagio[/h3] [hr] [/center] The talk had gone over reasonably well. [color=a187be]"Very nice. I'm not sure what you know about the Church, Saber, but it's odd for one of their number to be the one to summon Caster. Still, they were amicable enough. We won't get in one another's way, and as needed, we'll be cooperating with them. For now, though, they can handle themselves- I can't imagine them failing against a problem of this size."[/color] She was dealing with vague generalities as she explained matters to her Servant, though in her mind they were nothing of the sort. The flower her envoy was given would be stored appropriately, of course. A cage made of a lattice between something immaterial and something impossible- she didn't want to risk it doing anything besides what was promised. After all, while she was happy to trust the woman from the Church, her Servant... [color=a187be]"J.K. would probably want to hear about that, not that I'm telling him. That's what he gets for never answering my letters-"[/color] Even if she disregarded the alien color of its wish and just what its presence did to her calculations, the things it treated as magecraft were enough to catch her attention. Caster class indeed, what a profound absurdity. Preparations would need to be made, in case they wound up coming to blows- she doubted such a thing would be necessary, though. For now, though, she had other priorities. Between her analysis of the land and its flow of magical energy, her own observations, and the lattice of information she'd constructed... [color=a187be]"...eight?"[/color] A ridiculous conclusion, but the only possible one. As per her records, the various Holy Grail Wars from the world over were never capable of summoning more than five Servants, save for perhaps the original from Fuyuki, which was said to be capable of seven. In other words, not only was this ritual at the largest scale yet witnessed, but it was at a level that exceeded even the original. Another variable to account for, then. That threw a wrench in simply using basic deduction to riddle out the classes of the ones she'd seen so far, save for a couple of especially obvious cases. Still, that wasn't an insurmountable challenge- even a normal human could use such elementary logic. A member of Atlas couldn't possibly be stymied by this basic of a problem. [color=a187be]"Well, unless we decided to go hunting for one of the pairs minding their own business, it doesn't look like we'll get a fight tonight, Saber. That's for the best, though, like I mentioned. How about I finish up my work, and then we hit up a casino for a bit of fun? I'll send our little envoy around to scout for a nice one."[/color] The words that would give birth to a calamity were uttered. [@KatKook]
