Church, Front Door, Exterior
Between the time Archer had been summoned up to this point, things seemed to remain uneventful. The most
exciting thing that happened during the first day of the Holy Grail War for him was when he finally got off that gods-forsaken boat. During his time on land, Archer had focused on mapping out the areas closest to the Docks, including much of the eastern part of Fuyuki's shoreline, and to an extent, some of Shinto. If his Master's plan was to stay on a boat, it'd make sense to get a feel of the areas nearest the water, for any vantage points or places of interest to plan a preemptive strike. Archer figured he'd work on mapping out the whole Eastern portion of Fuyuki come the next few days, his Independent Action skills allowing him to make extensive trips scouting the region while his Master helps the war effort while on his boat.
Speaking of his Master, Archer had formed a rather mixed impression on the man named Alex Bradan. He believes him to be a crude, blunt man, with a hint of tactical acumen in his otherwise unassuming appearance. What makes matters more interesting is the sort of magecraft his Master commands, most notably his abilities in Astrology. Throughout his time lost at sea, Archer had received guidance from witches and prophets that have aided in leading him back home. While their methods may be different overall, Archer had learned to trust the advice of those who work in such mysterious power, and as a result, believes he can learn to trust his Master's insight on the days to come. The overall worthiness of Alex being his Master, however, is still a big question, although Archer does have brighter hopes than when they first met and conversed. He'll see, when he's able to observe more of his Master's magecraft in action.
And now, they both stand, outside the Church.
"Let's do this quickly. I hope you're not an overly religious man Archer, these Church Agents can be ruthless, and they don't worship any sea god besides. We go in and out, and hope they write us off." Archer had slowly began to materialize, beginning with his grinning face. He chuckled at the fact that Alex might have assumed he was a religious man. While Archer did earn the favor of (at least most of) the gods of his time, he was by no means bound to worship the lot of them. The only sensible god to pray to when lost at sea was the entire reason he was lost in the first place. He shook his head at the thought.
"The time of my gods has already passed, Master. My allegiances are now only held towards us, and to winning the Holy Grail." Archer stated as his materialization completed. He was wearing the outfit he used to scout the city- a plain, grey hoodie, a pair of green joggers, and a pair of slightly used white running shoes. While the idea of wearing something more extravagant came to mind, Archer figured wearing something unassuming would be much better off as he made his way through Fuyuki.
Getting a nice jog is also good for the body, too.Archer figured stepping out of his Spirit form would be wise in their dealings with the coordinators of the war. It would also help in the event that a prospective Master had decided to take hold of the Church and use it as a trap. While the idea itself seemed unlikely, the thought of something unexpected waiting behind the door probed at Archer's mind. Setting up a trap within a place where Masters believe to be safe refuge sounds like something Archer himself would do, after all...
