No.

That....it....no, it couldn't be.

Something like "that" should not exist, there....there was no chance, right?

But she felt it, that creeping, that aura, that power.

One of "those" was here-

-a true Monster it felt like.

Something that would tear down the human order, butcher humanity, bring and end to this world.

A monster beyond monsters.

"Ilya Muromets, servant of the class of Rider, go assist anyone seeking to slay that...that thing My forces shall come follow to help heal the others there, but that thing needs to be stopped....or even the Grail will not matter anymore. Use any Noble Phantasms you need to as well, but make them count."

Sophia sounded...somber, more somber and to the point than she had been after losing her other servant, more somber than she had ever been in life. The feeling, that aura....it was like a predator and this world was its prey. Human Order was its prey. The Modern Age, those living in it, everything was at stake here. Nothing needed to be held back. They needed to act.....NOW. So she had given her orders to her servant, with none more to be said...none more needed to be said really.

"All hands go to assist in the slaying of the beast! Provide support to the servants there as best as you can by forming a camp for masters and supporting efforts! The rest of you, on me! We are going to assist as well, but you lot stay with me only. Get moving, NOW!!!"

Dozens of manufactured homunculi, ones she had produced in the field here since creating an alchemy lab at her original base's location, began to hurry out of her new base's location. About 4 headed toward the Hotsprings, where the meeting would be, whilst the rest were making for the location of this "beast". Their first task? Keep a safe distance, heal participating servants, create a camp a good distance from the conflict in a zone that starting off would be "safe", and able to be used to organize things and cast healing at the other servant in the field. Further, from here an evacuation could be issued to civilians in the area, which would be their secondary task aside from "assisting" in the defeat of this beast how they could.

Even the network Sophia had created sent out its small army of "relevant" bodies to go to the conflict. The guard dogs were kept back, and the army of familiars was being preserved for the moment in case of their need in other fashions. Other normal familiars in the city were redirected to scout the scene itself from a safe distance, observe the area around, keep all eyes on the danger area to the best degree possible.

"Mistress Sophia is setting up a camp for the masters in a safe zone from the conflict, not too far from my mistress' new base of operations. All masters seeking an area to organize need to head there immediately. Four homunculi are en-route here to guide you all to the safe zone for this purpose.

Further, all servants present are requested to present themselves at the danger area in preparation for the battle. Any Caster-class servants are exhorted to enhance the capabilities of the best fighters here and support them. Those with the highest capabilities in battle are exhorted to take the front lines. Archers and those who fight at a distance, to keep farther back to fire into the enemy. Others, to play assisting roles as you see fit to help with in this battle.

Furthermore, for church members present and others who worry about the denizens of Fuyuki, an evacuation of the places closest to the danger zone has been initiated by what few homunculi can be spared. Any assistance in getting the residents that are most in danger to a safe area is welcome.

Finally, my mistress emphasizes that we need to take down this threat as soon as possible, and work together despite our past differences in this war. The survival of humanity is essential,"
the female homunculus said, her voice booming in volume as it spoke to the other masters, though eventually she looked over to Hideyoshi before speaking once more, "Master Tohsaka, i have been instructed to lead you to your wife immediately.

She is coming to the safe zone to assist in support and organization, and desires to have you with her during this time to keep you most safe. If you would, will you and your guards follow me with haste to her location?"


With her last messages given, the cute maid began to make a break out of the building, with the aim for running to Sophia's new location and Hideyoshi and company following her. There was not time to waste. The future of her mistress, and the human race, was at stake.




Saber: Sigurd, the Dragon Slayer

Outside Chiron and Gin's Bar, Beast Containment Zone, Shinto





He knew.

He saw.

He felt it in every bone in this body he had been granted by the Holy Grail.

This was a monster. Something that he could feel the evil, the loathing for humanity from even here. It was a monster that to him could be the the antithesis to humanity, to human order, to the entire world in this day and age.

Several spoke up, and the female homunculus spoke of a base of operations and someone trying to help organize things. Sigurd merely drew up his blade and moved from off of the wall. It was time, and even if he burnt out like embers on a dying pyre he would ensure humanity's survival. He would ensure the world of humans never came to an end, at least at this point in time.

He would do this because that was his job.....this was the job of a hero.

"Heores! To battle!" the King of Noble Heroes said aloud, his voice booming through the room before he began to take off to the beast's location with his wife, "My dear, we must assist in destroying this, even if it burns our bodies to cinders. Our Noble Phantasms can help bring this beast down, and if we do this together then naught can stop us.

After we survive, i shall also take you on that 'date' you requested, and we shall see the sights of this land and beyond."


After this, he would take her to see the ends of the world if needed. She may not be his true love, a fact even she was not aware of since such feelings had been hidden deeper down in Sigurd than anyone else, but as his wife he had his duties to her. Though it was of note he did have love for his wife as well, dear Gudrun whose evil ran deep at times when it came to getting her desires....and yet who had given him all of herself and her love to the bitter end. To this end, he would return this in kind now, even if she didn't want it.

Diana Firebrand





As the others went about examining the desk and one of the other locked doors, including the cleaning off of a moldy sandwich, Diana felt a small tug of curiosity toward the door without a lock. Walking over to where scar was, she examined the door for a few seconds, wondering what would be so easily unlocked in this place....and if it had any goodies to snatch for the road ahead. Or whatever else was in this prison right now on the lower levels. Maybe if nothing else it had papers or something like a magical trinket.

"Whatever is down there its probably had to be there for a while now, or something, considering how old that sandwich looked. Anywho, imma check this room out for now and see if anything useful is there! Move, Scar!"

Shrugging mentally to herself after speaking, Diana did the first thing that came to mind for this particular endeavor. Magic power thrummed as she spoke a word, a great word of the dragon tongue that-

"FUS"


-would proceed to try to blow the door to pieces. Albeit, with less force than what had been used on the cell door before.

The maid mentally communicated all she heard back to her mistress. Or rather, it could be said she didn't have to properly due to due to "that" connection. Shortly after, her mistress returned a message in a similar visual manner. Ah.

"Mistress Sophia says she is aware of the situation, having received word that the Einzbern estate in Germany is currently under siege as well. Further, she wishes to bring up that the Matou are, according to her information, the only ones not under fire from the Clocktower at this time. She requests formally that the Matou assist politically in defusing the situation here with the Clocktower due to their position.

However, she agrees that many of the actions of others in this war have been 'utterly foolish', and agrees to these rules and conditions. In her words, 'these are a fair step to reigning in this mess of a Holy Grail War', which in her mind should have been put in place before all of this."


The maid finished sending her mistress' message, pausing a moment and looking down as more information came through. It potentially seemed to be a lot of information due to the length of her pause, and on her mistress' end the maid could perceive the hurried nature of the communication. Afterwards she simply nodded, then looked up again and began to speak once more to the room's occupants.

"Ah, and one more, very urgent, message from Mistress Sophia for the assembled group and organizer.

There is a highly dangerous servant here, one with red hair and a great sword and very high parameters who is likely a Saber. Said servant has been taking over the the land here in ways that threaten this area and the war as well.

Said servant has already slain one very strong servant with ease, and then has seized ownership of this land as well as its leylines using a seemingly unique ability he possesses. This ability also seems capable of controlling even familiars and bounded fields and such things within its radius, according to my mistress, and even after he leaves an area this control lingers. She theorizes that runes, potentially other similar magecraft placed in his presence, would also be 'dominated' and controlled.

However, servants are not subject to this control, save for it instead lowering their strength and abilities.

Should this enemy servant come into contact with the Holy Grail in any capacity, it will be dominated and lost, and none here will have chance to claim it. He is a top priority threat, according to my mistress.

With this in mind, she has given me word to tell you all that she is currently guarding the Grail, this being the reason she hasn't come to the meeting."

Aerith Hastings


There We Go: Part I - Shopping In Style, Golden Quarter, Main Road, Priestella


@Ryofu@Rune_Alchemist@Althiel@BrokenPromise




Avoiding unnecessary suspicion, getting a fitting set of clothes...yes, this was an idea that Aerith felt she could easily get behind right now. Especially with the anecdote that the city's forces, if "Priestella" was the proper name and she assumed things rightly, were on alert for anything strange or suspicious. Even a group of three stranger that, unbeknownst to Irene and Vasilis to her knowledge, were from another world and had no idea about anything here. Death, a least by guards, was something she wanted to avoid....actually, avoiding the dying altogether was the real desire if she were to be frank. Though whether she or they all could avoid death again or not, just not having to start again at the same position, if they even LIVED again after another death at that, would be preferable. She....wanted to try to be hopeful, at least a bit, even if in the end it was silly to do so.

Though a coach pulled by an earth-like dragon approaching quickly snapped her out of those thoughts for the moment being. At first it was almost a bit jarring, yet keeping tabs on Irene and Vasilis' reactions she allowed herself to finally relax a bit. Even to coachman was friendly to them, petting the "steed" drawing the carriage who seemed very nice and friendly. Walking over, Aerith gently petted the dragon as well, feeling the sensation of its hide as the fact "this is a real thing here" set into her mind and a small smile came to her face. Then after a moment, though, she walked over to the open carriage door.

She let Vasilis help her into the carriage, taking a seat to the side and giving Chieko and Vasilis room to sit. Some of the nerves began to arise again, a small tingle going up her back as if to remind her of things. Ah. Perhaps once they made it to the "Golden Quarter" they could swiftly get better clothes and get better acquainted to this place. At least, if naught else, to get their bearings in a potentially "safer" locale.

At least the trip wasn't bad in getting there. Rather, smooth, actually, making it easier on the teen's nerves at least.

Though now she was looking forward to what clothes they could/would get a bit, if she had to be honest about things.

Adventures of the Demon Twins and Void Girl


Episode 1: The Bates Visit that Darkness Girl. Will Annabelle find True Love despite serving a Horror





What.

Was going.

On.

Regina had only been doing this magical girl thing for two or three months now, and she had learned to leave things like expectations at the door. Regardless of how simple something might have seemed, there was always something there to complicate it. The “squatter” turning out to be a magical girl was one of the more normal things to happen during her time as a magical girl. What was putting her on edge was how casually she announced she was into girls. Regina could hardly fathom why anyone would do that, even as a joke. Perhaps what was really irritating her was that Elroy had just been talking to her about hooking her up with a magical girl, and this one was not only into girls. Or was Regina simply reading too far into a taunt? Well, if she had thick skin, maybe they’d be able to get through this without a fight. While elroy didn’t mind being in danger, he was the least diplomatic of the two.




"You’re under arrest for disturbing the peace with that gaudy outfit!" Elroy was holding an invisible megaphone up to his mouth. "But your fashion woes can be left behind, because you now stand before Elroy Bates, the master of snazzy dressing! And apparently I have a cute tail too!" He extended a hand towards the dark woman. "And what do they call you in these parts?"

”Oh! Don’t taze me, officer! I swear i didn’t know i was wearing white after Labor Day!” Annabelle said in response, dramatically acting as if shot for a second, before looking back at the tailed boy, giving him a small wink, and letting out a giggle before speaking again, ”Haha, i’m Annabelle, Herald of Lord Soth. Just cute lustful, trustful, little magical girl looking to have some fun~ What you doin’ around these parts here? Looking to find some patron paying around here?”

Annabelle held out her hand to shake with Elroy, though being within Soth’s territory still it was a failsafe on her part. The boy was interesting, very much so~ But she wasn’t into guys, and didn’t mind saying things like that aloud. Her lord had told her something like “other magical girls might not react well to that”. Meh. She couldn’t really bother to care at that point. She was, as it were, herself, and nothing more or less as she was now. Couldn’t remember the old stuff before all this if she tried to anyways!

Though as she stood there and talked, the inky black orb of darkness began to look about the surroundings, as if….someone was using it to peer into the shadows, the buildings, the places about in case of another intruder. Or perhaps it was just Soth being curious. One could never know, really.

"I’m glad you asked, eyeball." Elroy’s grip definitely bordered on “too firm” for a handshake, and he continued to vigorously shake her hand as he explained things. "I’ve come out this way to scavenge for food for myself and the rest of my harem." He released Annabelle’s hand and folded his arms. "And that’s when I came across this place. I do find it interesting that you smell like hamburgers. This could be a good sign."

”Oh my, don’t you look like you are in the need of some tasty meat. You said you have a harem to feed? Oooh, there could perhaps be an arrangement for that, if you are willing~” Annabelle said, reaching out as she spoke, lips pursed as her fingers trailed under the boy’s chin, before pulling back and looking to the orb next to her, ”Mmm, Lord Soth, do you have use for some more hands? I promise i’ll be nice, especially if they have any cute girls~”

The orb by this point seemed to eventually land its unwavering, alien gaze on the location of Regina, as if it was starting into her very soul. The orb being a portal to Soth, the horror’s infinite gaze, a deep and eternal as the void to which all returned eventually, piercing as much as its was as cold as space itself. Most would get frightening chills down the back from such a direct and intense gaze from the horror, normal humans would flee as their instincts kicked in, but in Regina’s case Soth had no idea how she would react. Regardless, the orb turned toward Annabelle and Elroy, with the same cold, piercing, state being aimed at Elroy now from behind the inky black darkness of the orb and its portal to Soth in this case.

”Arrangements…..could be made for a group...for a price. What are you both willing to pay for food and housing here within my domain in this part of the city?” the voice of Soth called out of the portal, deep, booming, horrific and guttural, yet in the minds of others it seemed to translate into the language they most easily understood upon perceiving it. In a sense it was almost like an echo, a reverberation from the void itself and the thum of indescribable power that had been “restrained” so very much to not affect the world itself in its wake.

Such was the nature of Lord Soth, Lord of the Eternal Abyss, it who was Void incarnate, the destroyer of worlds and horrors and gods and all things, that which returned all eventually to the void it once came from.

Elroy had been mostly unmoving while sloth scoped out the area. "Hmmm?" He raised an eyebrow. "I don’t believe I’ve said anything about paying, eyeball’s eyeball. My pockets are a bit empty anyway." He shrugged his shoulders with a toothy grin. "Honestly, there’s nothing really stopping me and my mega harem from rolling in here and taking what I want. So maybe the real question is-" Everyone could hear a strange pulsating sound as something flew through the air. Someone gifted with the ability to see magic would be able to see it was one of Regina’s Psychic bullets for the faintest of seconds before it hit Elroy in the side of the head. His head didn’t jerk from the impact, but he did stand there for a few seconds with his mouth hanging open, unable to finish his sentence. He closed his mouth "We’re mercenaries that don’t have a patron of our own. So maybe we can pay you through services. Besides, you guys are clearly new in town, and we’re aware of just about everything that goes down in Penrose. " He placed his hands on his hips. "I’m not sure how you feel about Beacon, but I don’t think they’d approve of your existence. You’re going to want some muscle if they show up."



A smile crept onto Annabelle's face after Elroy spoke. It was eeries, creepy…...no, utterly and purely sadistic, twisted, and bearing the innate nature of being “abnormal” and “not right” in such a distinct way that any normal human would recognize without having to think twice on the matter. It was a smile normally hidden behind the twisted psyche of one who had been mentally broken by a true horror, their power thrumming in her veins like lifeblood.

”Ah…...one of those, i see. Belief that an army, even of magical girls or other forces, could dare bring down my dominion. Or perhaps, you merely to stab a Patron in the back for benefit after getting pay? Haha, how foolish mortals never cease to amuse me!“

The inky black orb now seemed to expand into a large portal, even as an array of small tentacles beginning to emerge from within it, their physical space and air distorting greatly around them as if bent by natural forces far beyond this world’s comprehension. They slowly moved and crawled about in the air, surrounding Elroy like a snake coiling up about its prey. But they did not make contact with the magical boy. Rather, they sat there, hanging in the air, making the air stifling to even breathe even for Annabelle. Power beyond magical girls coursed about and through them, power beyond comprehension.

”Listen well, young one here, and the one who sits in the shadows as well for this. You who have only seen naught but a tiny fraction of what exists among the stars and underneath the darkness of all worlds. Even armies are naught in my wake, i have erased patrons and deities and worlds, armies and fleets, and even here my power is such that your ‘threats’ are naught but child’s play amidst the annals of eternity...”“

However, after these words he tentacles, extensions of a true cosmic horror that defied knowledge and reason, yet whose nature took place amongst the natural forces of the world, retracted back into the portal again as slowly as they had emerged. The portal then shrunk back into an inky black orb once more, as if nothing had happened, and Annabelle’s smile went back to a pleasant and rather friendly normal one. The horror’s voice then began to emanate from the orb once more, without pause as if nothing had happened.

…..This being said, your compatriot seems of a smarter sort, and has managed to get your lives spared. For this i shall reward them with the lodging you seek.

I am willing to indulge your group’s need for work and a base of operations here, as i have need of supplies and such things for my ends. The building to the right of this ‘school’, you may move into it with your companion and ‘mega harem’ and live there for the time being. I have claimed that territory now, however, and there i shall keep watch on you and protect you from threats that enter my territory. Similarly you shall help defend my territory from threats that attack it.

However, do not think to betray my trust, or sabotage me here. This is my one warning. My eyes are everywhere, my void all-consuming if i feel the need to unleash it upon traitors.

Your pay for lodging, some concealment here, food and water even, and some protection shall be your services as i request them, whether it be for supplies or other things. Secondly, part of your payment shall be all the information about this city and area and Beacon that you and your group currently know of, which my minions shall record for my use as you ‘move in’ to your new lodging. Thirdly you shall communicate all such knowledge you gain in the future to me through my servants as soon as possible.

And finally, i shall forgive those ill-spoke words of yours, boy, should you and your companion accept my deal...

...What say you both to my offer?“


Elroy nodded along to the entity as it spoke, attempted to startle him, and did everything in it's power to appear intimidating and get its point across. But Elroy didn't flinch. Once it was all done, the incubus raised a hand and pointed at it."You said world twice. That's bad grammar."

The inky orb seemed to float there in place, silently, calmly. The comment did not really seem to phase the horror on the other end of the line. After a moment, Annabelle coughed and decided to speak up.

”Eh, he’s not one for human speak. Really, i think the boss just wants ya’ know your response to the offer right now, haha~” the magical girl said, rubbing the back of her head with one hand and giving a casual shrug.

"You're kidding me! Someone who can devour worlds is going to let me decide how this goes down?" He smacked his forehead. "Well! My mommy always told me that it wasn't a good idea to do sleepovers with people who could eat you. And since your eyeball here can eat worlds, I don't think we'll be lodging here anytime soon. I think Regina agrees with me." He looked over his shoulder. "What do you say, girl?" Another pulse struck Elroy, and he turned back to face Annabelle. "Yea, she says that's a no go to the mass sleep over. Maybe we can be friends? Meet each other halfway even?" He took a knee and extended a hand towards Annabelle.

”Fufufu~ I wouldn’t mind being friends. I don’t think the boss would mind, and maybe i could meet your ‘Regina’ friend, hmm? Sounds like a cute name~” Annabelle said, a small, more casual smirk on her face as she took the demon-looking boy’s hand daintily, giving a small wink as well.

"Oh, you want to meet her?" With Annabelle reaching for Elroy's hand, and the two of them having relatively normal reflexes, it was a simple matter for Elroy for Elroy to close his hand around hers. "Then let's gooooooooooo!" Regina had already charged up a few magical mortars, which bombarded the area between Elroy and the building Regina was standing in. The magical projectiles exploded into domes of darkness, obscuring a trail directly to Regina. But the idea of doing this was to enable Elroy to quickly shadow step with Anabelle to the window Regina was at. Most magical girls would need to wait for the domes to fade away to be able to see, but Annabelle was of the sort that she could see in virtually any darkness. By the time Elroy and her arrived, Regina was leaning up against a wall with her arms folded. Her eyes darted between Anabelle and a cracked tile on the floor.

"Oh, hello Annabelle." She looked at the new magical girl. "So, here I am."

”Oooh, so you are Regina! I like you! Cute horns, glowing eyes, cuter tail, nice chest,,…..and a cute butt~” Annabelle said observing the other girl without stepping closer, a glint in the darkness girl’s eyes that hinted at genuine admiration, ”Ah! My bad for getting a bit excited there. Been a while since i’ve seen a cute girl like you, so i kinda jumped the gun a bit. Haha, my bad!

Ah, but i did mean it when i said i wanted to be friends with you two. Elly’ here’s gotta tongue on him’, not something the boss likes best, but i don’t mind dealing with it. But you, i gotta say you impressed me trying to keep him in line, haha! Not sure many woulda’ noticed those bullets, but i like your style. Cool head, pretty smart.

I could always grab us some burgers from the base, or we could just nab something somewhere else. I have the cash for it even. We could always binge on some of the good stuff if you wanted.”


The void magical girl felt a bit infatuated upon seeing Regina, really. Sure there was the cute features, a thing Annabelle normally always enjoyed, but the cool look and such on her face and smart moves and such to her showed a bit of character. Intelligent, smart character. She quite liked that, and Regina seemed to cause her heart to skip a few beats. It was find funny, but even her usual persona had tightened up a little bit more due to those feelings in Regina’s presence.

Regina reached up for her neckline, as if to pull on her shirt collar out of nervousness. But since she wasn't wearing a shirt, so her fingers just curled over her collar bones. Her face was noticeably deepening in color. "I see you're one to say what's on your mind." She folded her arms."I don't really want to be a bother. I wouldn't say no to some burgers. Eating out might not be the best thing to do right now." She glanced at Elroy momentarily. "We're laying low at the moment, and we ate not long ago. It's really just everyone else that we're getting food for."

"Regina! You have a girlfriend now!" He pointed at Anabelle. "When someone call you cute, you can get them to do anything you want!"

"Burgers." Regina repeated without looking at anyone. "And then maybe we can make some arrangements that are beneficial to you and your patron." She pushed herself off of the wall and looked at Anabelle. "He said he needed resources? Information? We can provide it."

”Yeah, ol’ Soth likes having all his ducks in a row, resources and such things. Even if you two aren’t staying around on his turf, he’ll be willing to negotiate something mutually beneficial. So don’t worry about it too hard, at least.”

Annabelle gave a small wink to Regina before continuing.

”But ya know, i can make the food situation a bit easier, to make ya’ more comfortable. I can have our three burgers delivered here, eh? Throw in a thousand dollars to feed ya’ army while i’m at it, after we eat and talk about things.

Besides, i’d like to talk to you more too, Regina. Whadda’ you say?”


The smile that came to the void-touched girl’s face was rather genuine, actually, more genuine than she’d been able to put out in a while. Caring a bit, even, based on the feelings she was reading from Regina personally. Regardless, after speaking she held out a hand towards Regina, not walking a step closer but instead trying to make a sincere offering. She didn’t want to offend the cute girl, just...get to know her more, genuinely. Not how Elly’ there, as she called Elroy, might phrase it based on his own banter...but still.

Regina's eyes locked onto Anabelle's hand, and took a step back. She held out a hand in front of herself, not to shake, but almost like she was trying to protect herself from the hand. But then Elroy took hold of her wrist.

"Come on Regina! We've been through this before." He took hold of Anabelle's hand as well. "Now shake."

Elroy extended his pinky and pulled their hands together, causing Regina to stumble slightly. Regina's handshake wasn't very firm, and trembled as it brushed against Anabelle's. Though she soon gripped the new magical girl's hand and gave one of the meekest handshakes Annabelle had ever experienced. As soon as Elroy loosened his grip on their wrists, Regina pulled her hand away and rubbed it with her opposing hand. "Um." Regina snorted. "I guess we'll just wait up here for you to return then." She looked away from Annabelle. "Thank you."

Annabelle gave a soft smile, having in the end gently shook Regina’s hand despite Elroy’s attempts to help. Such soft skin, and yet she could feel the social tension a mile away as well as the tremble under her skin. Ah. Perhaps this girl had...been through some things, if the behavior hadn’t already been a dead giveaway. She had seen in her travels magical girls who had been “odd” due to past traumas. As much as she herself was very casual, without the worry of her past life ever being able to be recalled…..well…..it was an odd topic to think on.

”Ah, not so good on physical contact? Haha, that’s no problem. We’ll have plenty of time to talk, at least. I’ll make sure to bring good burgers, a few sides, if ya got a favorite drink i can go back for it. I know a good chef back at the school!

But….you don’t have to worry. No physical contact unless you want it, ok? I promise.”


Regina looked away with a groan.

Her last words to Regina in mind, and leaving the other girl with a tender smile, Annabelle decided to make a hasty exit so she could get the food soon. The sooner they got comfortable to talk and such, the better it would be. And, hopefully….she could get to better know Regina. The sky flower with a tremble in her touch. Ah.

Half-thinking, Annabelle jumped out of the nearby window as she cast a spell, her magic catching her and carrying her towards the school again-

...Wait, THE WINDOW?!




Will things go woefully wrong?

Tune in next time figure out, during the next exciting episode of-
Dragon Ball ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Who are we waiting on, btw?
Sophia von Einzbern


New Base, Shinto Outskirts, A Rare Lucius-Free-Zone





The move had been efficient enough to get the necessary things here, but there hadn't been much time to get here either. A double edged sword, in a sense, yet they had taken a building and safely used magecraft to get the residents out of there without another word. A samurai-style compound that would provide a solid secondary base for her and her husband. But the safety of "that" had to be secured at all costs for things to succeed, and "that" had come along as well....not on purpose, though she wouldn't deny otherwise being claimed, but she'd taken it with them anyways just in case. Though that "other" servant hadn't taken her things, her maids, her familiars and such, she'd decided to not take chances. Salvage, brought to here and gathered nearby, and other resources would be utilized to their fullest. Not enough to permanently harm this part of the city, no the servants had done enough of that in Miyama and the Native District and such places from her observation.

But she knew for a fact that man, that red-haired demon hadn't been here, amidst a few other places in which one was blatantly obviously avoided. She had also sent her emissary to the meeting that penguin had spoken of, unable to go personally due to....extenuating circumstances regarding all of this. And preparations and moving still in progress. Her message would be carried, and that maid would deliver her messages live without having to relay things. Thank heavens for that one network. Hopefully no one was foolish enough to attack, because if "that" feel into the enemy's control.....well, the Grail War might as well be over with already.

However, one last thing did weigh on her mind a bit at the moment...

"Hideyoshi, if you go you had better be safe....baka-husband..."

...and that would be her husband potentially going to the meeting as well. Albeit in voicing her worries softly to herself, her face took on a very "tsun" pout in the process.

Though after a minute she took a few breaths, and walked back out of the building. She had set her servant to watch over preparations, make sure they were all kept safe. Especially to give warning if "that" servant approached in any measure. She had indeed re-summoned a new servant, the cost able to be paid in this case for it, but she knew doing it again was not a viable idea on her part. She had, however, informed her new servant of all that had happened, why they were moving to this location, all of that type of information of what had gone on and the meeting that was taking place.

"Has anything approached as of yet? Familiars, servants? Anything odd?" Sophia asked as she approached her new servant at a calm walking pace. She didn't sound paranoid, more like a notable calm, though at the edges of her voice a light worry hinted at deeper feelings of concern about the overall conflict and such.

Cute Meido #102


Main Lobby, DDD Hotsprings, Foreigner's Lowlands





This was the place her mistress had sent her to go to, a meeting at a surprise hotsprings that had sprung up during the war. The enemy, as it were, had spread very far and wide, claiming territory and securing leylines. At this rate, the war itself was in danger, and her duty was to communicate for and with her mistress to see how this went. This even though she was but a basic maid created back at the old base of operations, which had been salvaged for all its was worth.

As she entered the main lobby, wherein many of the other participants seemed to be amidst servant and such here and there, she gave a light curtsey to the assembled group.

"I come on behalf of Mistress Sophia Tohsaka, formerly von Einzbern, who has sent me to relay information back and forth from the meeting to herself and vice versa," the maid said without so much as blinking an eye or making an expressive face, before ending her small announcement and moving on.

Her hair was white and eyes red, much like any other Einzbern homunculi that had been created in times before. However, this one seemed to have...."rich" and "lovely" features fit for social interaction at least. A large, plump chest that squeezed into the maid uniform, a round, plump booty that bounced slightly as she walked, a curvaceous and voluptuous figure that would easily draw men's eyes, soft pale skin that would shine lovely in the moonlight.....dear heavens she was physically gorgeous by many standards. Though this did not stop the maid as she proceeded to stand near the Matou Master and servant in calm preparation for the meeting, without as much as an extra glance. Then again, this was a homunculus, a maid meant for one use or another as it were.

Though out of the corner of its eye, the maid had noticed the figure of a warrior, a pale-haired servant standing there just beyond the doorway silently (Sigurd). Interesting. But nothing of major note if he was here representing a master or such. Almost seemed like he could look more handsome wearing glasses though...
