Guess Who

Fate/Kaleid: Shatter Prisma

@Guess Who *cough* Iskandar is the sole reason I was going to go with Rider... hee.

@Mistress Dizzy

Excellent!

Fate/Kaleid: Shatter Prisma

Then it was Studio Deen. I thought it was a bit bland, but I like Fate zero much better.

@Mistress Dizzy

Yeah, I think Studio Deen's version of the story is a decent starting point, but Unlimited Blade Works is better in almost every way. I suggest watching it after you finish Zero. The first half is basically the same with better animation and then in the second half it goes on its own story. Zero will always be my favorite overall though because of Iskandar.

Fate/Kaleid: Shatter Prisma

The Ufotable one is the newer one and has the subtitle Unlimited Blade Works. If that doesn't help, then I guess the best way to tell is by asking what happened to Illya at the end?

Fate/Kaleid: Shatter Prisma

@Guess Who We started with Stay Night and now we're halfway through Zero.

@Mistress Dizzy

Studio Deen's Fate/Stay Night or Ufotable's Fate/Stay Night?

Fate/Kaleid: Shatter Prisma

@The Irish Tree Fair enough. I started because of the Fate GO, and now my husband and I are watching the animes.

@Mistress Dizzy

Which order of animes are you going in?

Fate/Kaleid: Shatter Prisma

With the gunman no longer pointing his rifle in Phillip's direction and a new person of interest now ordering him to install his card, the young man decided it was probably best to listen and do as he was told. Picking Richard's card back up from the ground, he lifted it up above his head and shouted, "Class card install!"

The transformation began with three red streaks appearing suddenly in the bangs of his cian colored hair before a golden light appeared behind him. Around his casual street clothes, flaxen colored armor would appear to help defend him from any incoming attacks. Finally, the toothbrush he had been holding in his other hand had also changed. What had once been a small stick of plastic with worn down bristles on the end had now become a full-length sword. It was no normal sword though. This blade was the legendary weapon of King Arthur, Once and Future King of Britannia, and King of Knights. Excalibur! Well at least a very close copy of it, though anyone who might be on the business end of the blade probably wouldn't care that much whether it was the actual saber handed down from the Lady of the Lake or just an imitation.

Slashing through the air to swipe away the magical mist that had surrounded him during the install, Phillip stood before the three with a confident smile. While his back may have still been against the wall, he was now at full power and with his strategical mind he knew that it wouldn't take much effort to readjust his position if a fight did end up breaking out. "So, do I pass your test, Mystery Man?"

"Uhh... That was an accident," Katsuo said as he watched dozens of high risers begin to crumble behind the large boar he had punched. A cloud of dust and debris would begin to spread from the point of impact, blanketing the immediate area in a sheet of gray ash. Despite wearing a helmet, the young hero raised his arm to cover his eyes from the cloud. The sacrifice of all that city block would be in vain though as the creature stood back up, injured but certainly not out of the fight.

With a snort that blew away most of the ash back into the air, the boar charged forward, intent on crushing Midori Kamen beneath its hooves. With nowhere else to go, the hero attempted to jump up and over the goo-like animal, only to run straight into its snout. Like a large bug that had survived its impact with a car windshield, Katsuo was merely an annoyance for the boar and it would rid him by thrusting up its head, tossing him away.

While the pig was now busy dealing with bunker busters from the missile summoning magical girl, Midori Kamen was flying through the air like a frisbee, attempting to regain control of his direction so he could judge how soon he'd be making his impact with the Earth. It was while he was up above the cityscape that he spotted a great, big flash of light that brought his attention to the other monster attacking Tokyo-to. Those two can probably finish the oversized pig. These guys look like they could use some serious help though. With a new target located, Katsuo began to make his approach.

Just as things might have begun to appear grim for Auriga, The Skullman, and Kamen Rider Spark, reinforcements would finally arrive by a small green streak cutting through the air. Like a divine meteoroid descending from the heavens, Midori Kamen impacted with the tentacle monster just as it had begun to loom over the three heroes. "Don't worry guys, I've got your back," he said, kicking off and landing next to the unconscious Kamen Rider.

Convel's ears would twitch again as he heard the shuffling of footsteps behind him. Before becoming trapped inside this online world, someone like Stella would have easily been able to sneak up behind him and take the uneaten half of the sandwich, but having gained his several animal-like traits, the young man heard her coming from a mile away. If it wasn't for the sudden intervention of the twintailed sorceress, he would have pulled the food from the would-be thief at the last possible second. It wasn't like her senses were at her best thanks to the alcohol running through her system.

Approaching Sen and the drunkard that was still collapsed on the ground, Convel would also offer the bard a hand to help her return to her own imbalanced feet, meanwhile scolding his companion on her rash actions. "Considering that you're lying atop a clearly drunken woman with a guild name like 'Virgin Bud Logic,' I think it's much better to just leave now before the city's Royal Guard decide to get involved. Before the two Adventurers would take off though, the Wolf Fand turned to Stella and told her, "Hey, I've got more sandwiches where this came from, so if you can sober up soon, meet us outside town and you can get one all for yourself." The guardian figured that they could use the numbers for this quest and bribe never hurt anyone.

While he was beginning to pack up his things, Phillip heard the sound of an approaching motorcycle. At first he attempted to ignore the sound, file it away in his brain as simply being background noise and completely unrelated to his investigation. However, the coincidence that it was the same mode of transportation used by the killer and the fact that he was feeling another pull coming from the noise's direction told him to not trust his immediate reaction.

When the Assassin's master jumped out into the alleyway's only entrance and exit, hoisting a rifle that appeared to be from the mid-20th century and ordering a surrender, the young man merely blinked in response. Not much for stealth is he? he thought to himself. Could he be the killer, here to cover his tracks? Perhaps. He has a servant card as well and is using the same mode of transportation as our killer. Judging by his response though, one could almost think he was law enforcement. Could the killer be a cop? It would explain how he can keep from being caught. He would know exactly what his coworkers would look for and he'd have access to whatever evidence he failed to clean up. Though this man appears to be using a gun. No matter what, there's no way that weapon could decapitate the victim so cleanly. Coincidence than? He's stumbled upon this scene just as I-

The sound of Richard mocking the sound of clearing his non-existent throat would pull the wannabe detective out of his head and remind him of his current danger. You can attempt to piece all of the evidence together once we have escaped our life threatening predicament, can't you?

Good call. Rising from his kneeling position and standing on his own two feet, Phillip began to plan his escape route. In his left hand, he held onto his still open duffle bag, filled with his laundry and other travel supplies. In his right hand, the toothbrush that had been sitting at the top of everything had he had stuffed inside the small bag. First, block his line of sight. If he can't see his target, the chances of him landing a shot will be significantly reduced. If I duck down lower to the ground, even more so. Next, install Richard. Use toothbrush in right hand to summon Excalibur. Send a quick strike in his direction, it's purpose to have him back off. If he avoids it, so be it. Just need to get out of this alley and no longer have my back pressed against the wall. Once out of the alley, charge and fire another attack, this time towards his motorcycle to avoid him from chasing me on it. Undoubtedly, he'll continue to chase me on foot. Need to use Crusade to block any incoming rounds. Main priority is to return to somewhere public. With dozens or hundreds of witnesses, he'll likely choose to escape himself rather than continue chase. With his plan readied, the blue haired boy prepared to put it into action.

No battle plan ever survives first contact with the enemy. Phillip couldn't recall where he had heard that quote from, but whoever it was that said it deserved a lot more credit than they probably ever received. Just as his grip began to tighten upon his bag, ready to toss it, another master joined the fray, this one a younger looking girl. Hmm. Too many variables. Too much unknown about both parties. Direct confrontation less likely to succeed. Perhaps diplomacy should be used instead.

"I understand how this might look, but I can promise you that our killer is long gone. I'm assuming you're here for the same reason I am. You felt a strange pull to this spot, probably because, just like the three of us, whoever committed this murder used a servant card," he began, reaching into his pocket and taking out his card for the both of them to see. Slowly, he placed it down at his feet to show he had no intention of using it. "Now, how about we discuss things like level-headed adults should. There's no reason to shed more blood in this alley after all."

July 19th/10:03 AM

Phillip was supposed to be on his plane ride back home, having finished all of his affairs in his late father's home country. However, something had pulled him away from his path to Junyo's airport. After asking the taxi to pull over, the young man carried his luggage to a hidden alleyway that had been blocked off by police tape. There didn't appear to be any cops around to enforce the blocked off area though, so he ducked underneath and began his investigation as to why he felt such a pull to this location.

The first thing to stand out to him was the blood-stained concrete. Something about the shape seemed off to him. Walking around to look at it from another angle, he began to come up with theories. It was the best he could do since the body had already been taken by the police and law enforcement didn't actually do chalk outlines like those seen in movies. It almost appears to have pooled from two separate locations, as if something had been severed from the rest of the body and rolled over here, he thought, pointing to where he was referring to.

If it had been an arm or a leg, we probably would see a trail as the victim attempted to escape. That's not the case. Instead the source is from these two spots as it trickled toward the sewer grate. My guess as to what was severed would be the head. Perhaps the servant used to commit this murder was one who has a connection with beheadings? Either having been an executioner or the one who had been executed. Though it could just be mere coincidence. This second voice who had joined the conversation belonged to the servant who's card was still inside Phillip's breast pocket. Despite him having no physical form outside the card, it felt to the strategist like the king was right behind him.

"Shh. It's no fun if you figure it out for me. Give me a few more minutes," the young man said aloud, still getting used to having another voice in his head.

Apologies, your highness. I shall remain silent for the time being.

Further disrupting the crime scene, Philip began to lift up various pieces of trash that littered the ground in case some sort of evidence had rolled underneath and had been missed by investigators. He'd make sure to use a piece of cloth though so as to not leave behind his finger prints. I'm not a king and I don't care for being treated as such. Please just refer to me by my first name.

Again, apologies. 'Tis a force of habit.

After several minutes had passed, Phillip stepped away in order to begin gathering his thoughts. So here's what I've confirmed so far. The servant's master used some sort of large blade to sever the victim's head, killing him instantly. Afterwards, he took a moment to stand here, since the blood seems to touch something and flow around what looks like a shoe or boot. Perhaps to make a call, perhaps to write something down, or perhaps to just admire his handy work. Afterwards, he got onto his motorcycle and rode off, since I'm feeling that same sixth sense sensation that brought me here from these two skid marks. Feeling proud of his work, he crossed his arms over his chest and smirked. So how did I do?

Finally speaking up after half an hour of silence, the Wandering King replied back, Considering how much evidence had been taken by the police, very impressive Phillip.
