“Oh I completely agree, the best deceptions always contain the element of truth,” Charlotte said in an approving tone as she listened to Jacob reveal his plan for masking her identity. Though what he suggested was simple it would also prove fairly effective provided that no suspicion was raised. Once raised however it would not prove too difficult to disprove her identity, however her Master seemed the intelligent sort so she assumed that he had accounted for that very possibility. She could only guess but she assumed that he might even use it to determine who was and was not investigating them.

“As for playing the part, I think I can manage it,” she said in reference to his suggestion that if pushed she should identify herself as a marriage candidate. Arranged marriages were nothing new to her, the concept was a familiar one. When she had been alive the aristocracy rarely, if ever, married for love. Power, influence and money but never for love. Though such arrangements naturally diminished in occurrence following the Revolution they did not fade entirely. Old habits. However as much as she approved of his plan there was one minor detail that she needed to inform him of in regard to any hostile actions on her part.

“No Master, we don’t,” she said in reply to his insistence that they remain neutral for as long as physically possible. She leaned in toward him in conspiratorial manner. “I may have neglected to mention that I have the ability ‘Information Erasure’,” she said in a manner that suggested he should already know the specifics of such an ability. “I can attack anyone, anywhere, at any time. Servant, Master or witness, it matters little. None can recall that which they may have learned about me during any confrontation. Name, abilities, my hair colour, even my gender. All gone. That includes data that has been recorded, such as images or notes taken. The only thing that they know for certain is that they were attacked, nothing more, nothing less.” She backed away from Jacob and stretched. “But of course, I shan’t be careless Master, I mean, Jacob.”

She offered him her hand as if they had only just met. “It’s a pleasure to meet you at last Jacob, I’ve heard so much about you! Oh, how careless of me, my name is Lucille Chevalier,” Charlotte said with a curtsy.

Fire Emblem - The Crisis of Akaneia

Silk smashed a chair over the back of a man’s shoulders, causing him to reel away from her in a defensive manner. “No, this is a slow day, there hasn’t been a murder yet or anything!” she called back to Matthew while parrying a clumsy axe blow, directing the blade into the table beside her. The loss of momentum left her assailant open to a thrust from her sword, however instead of the tip she head-butted him instead, his broken nose denoted by a sickening crunch of cartilage. He fell away, clutching his nose in a protective manner as blood gushed between his fingers.

The blow left Silk dazed for a brief moment, recovering just in time to avoid being grasped by a man who had thrown himself through the air toward her. Had he connected no doubt she would have been out for the count. As it was he went crashing into the table behind her with a loud thud, followed by the sound of breaking glass. More still followed in his wake however, forcing her to retreat in Matthew’s direction, where they ended up back to back. The Raiders, bloody and bruised encroached on them, grouped together in a defensive manner. Some of them had even had the foresight to deploy shields. Surrounded like this it would only be a matter of time before they were beaten by numbers alone.

“This tavern is starting to feel a little crowded, feel taking this outside boys?” Silk said aloud, her smile suddenly bright and cheerful. “Ta-Da!” she announced happily as she lifted an oil lantern that she had just ‘acquired’ in front of herself. She let in hang in the air for a moment. Most of the Raiders simply glared or leered incredulously at the gesture. One or two were a little quicker on the uptake, making the connection between ‘oil’, ‘fire’ and ‘wizard’. Silk lobed the lantern into the air above them.

Matthew would do the rest. In the ensuing explosion they would be able to make a break for the street.

Bah, sorry to keep you waiting Apollo, busy day. I'll post first thing when I wake up.

Well Louise is at the Ritual lecture hall at last, she would have been there sooner but she had to lose the tail first...

Fate/Eclipse

Ritual Studies, Lecture Hall
Ukatan University
Louise

Louise barged into the lecture hall and quickly shut the door behind her. She was breathing hard, out of breath. After a moment of pause she looked up tentatively. Just outside a group of people gathered for a moment, conferred amongst themselves in a hurried, near frantic fashion before running off in another direction. Louise smiled with the satisfaction of knowing that she had eluded capture once again, not only because she was well practised at avoiding such trouble but because she had invoked certain…measures…to avoid pursuit. She waited a second longer to make sure that no one was doubling back before reaching her hand around the door and pulling a piece of paper from the other side, one that she had placed there on the way in.

Her work done she turned around and started to march into the lecture room, scrunching the paper into a wall and throwing in over her shoulder into the bin by the door. Only then did she realize that she was a little late, rather than a little early. The lecture had already started. Feeling no embarrassment she went through the motions anyway as a show of humility, apologising profusely as she made her way to a seat near the front of the sparsely filled lecture hall. For a moment she considered trying to explain her entrance, however she suspected that her reputation may have somewhat proceeded her and rather than insult the lecturers intelligence she said nothing about it. What he didn’t know about her he would learn in time, she was sure.

Since there was no one sat beside her as of yet she threw her legs up onto the adjacent chair, shuffled a little to make herself comfortable and pulled out a notebook from her bag, its surfaces covered with all manner of alchemic symbolism. She smiled innocently at the lecturer as if she had been waiting patiently there the whole time.

Fate/Eclipse

Cheers, just needed to know so that I could decide how seriously Louise would be taking the lecture.

Fate/Eclipse

So, what us this 'ritual' class that the younger Masters should attend? If I can get a clear picture I can whip up a post pretty quickly (in theory)

Fate/Eclipse

Y'know, I wonder how long it will take for Louise to realize that Archer can walk through walls

@Flamelord

You know, the fact that she hasn't realized is all that is saving him from becoming her partner in crime. Once she knows your life as a dignified Servant is over! Over I tell you!

Fate/Eclipse

Chemistry Department, Rooftop
Morning
Louise and Archer

Louise nodded in thoughtful agreement. Bombs and gases were both easy enough to synthesis when you had access to a half decent laboratory and some privacy. Like all of the chemistry students Louise had a key card that allowed her access to the labs so that her presence could be recorded, which in theory meant that there was no way that she could use the labs without somebody being aware, least of all the lab technicians. So that ruled out any day time use of the labs. Night time was another matter entirely, her magecraft offering her more than a few options to circumvent security measures.

“Well, take your time, there’s nothing I can do until nightfall anyway, when the labs clear out for the day. Oh, that reminds me,” Louise said as she tossed a key card toward Archer. “You can use that to gain access to the chemistry department’s literature section and to the building itself. Don’t worry, nobody really checks provided you have the right card to gain access,” Louise added on, indicating that it was her picture on the card. She then pulled out a crumbled up piece of paper from her pocket and offered it to Archer.

“My username and password for the computer facilities onsite, in case you want to make use of them. I never do but you might want to so help yourself,” Louise wandered over the edge of the rooftop and stared over the campus, the wind causing her clothes to dance in the breeze that was predominant this high from the ground. She took a long deep breath and then stretched her arms with a satisfied groan. “Now, we’ll meet up in a few hours or so, I have something that I need to do and it would look suspicious if I suddenly failed to turn up.”

Morning
Assassin

“Good morning, Jacob,” Charlotte said in a soft, cheerful tone and smiled as if seeing her Master was the brightest part of her day so far. “Walk with me, just for a little way?” she said in that same lovely tone of voice, offering him her arm after taking the food that he had prepared for her. She closed her eyes and hummed softly for a little while until she was certain that no one was in earshot. Her body language remained passive and relaxed, her tone however took on an entirely altogether different quality.

“There are 73 completely blue houses, 1132 if you only take the roofing into consideration. It’s quite a rare colour in this town. Reds and browns seem to be far more popular, don’t you think?” despite her words this was clearly not a question that Assassin desired an answer for. She carefully scanned the area before continuing. “No Servants were active last night, at least none that made their existence known. However with said it would be lax to assume that we were the first, so for now I will operate on the premise that all seven Servants are already active. You should do the same,” Charlotte said in a meaningful tone.

With her work done she then danced free from her Master and swirled around so that she was standing in front of him, her hands clasped together behind her back. She leaned in toward him and smiled. “I just have one question before I leave you to your business, Master. If our relationship is questioned, how would you have me proceed? To what level of scandal are you willing to sink to hide our agenda?”
