---Day 12, 4:40PM--- "So...Why did we have to mess around til now to talk to him?" "Shop says it closes at five." "So why are we walking IN to it now? Some twenty minutes before?" "I am bored." "So I figured." "What's up, Bersy?" "B-Bersy?" "You're quite popular, Berserker." The manager emerges from the back with her fluffy pink hair. A cake shop owner that looks the part and doesn't look like a total snob, how about that. "The store is closing soon, could you two wait?" "And suuuch a pretty dress!" Berserker's manager hops over the counter and starts feeling my dress sleves What's that sound? "Oh you should total let--" My head is ringing. "cus...Fo..." Everything is blurry. "Pay..........................Can...." Saber's voice is vading in and out. There's one sound...and that's the ringing in my head. ...and...water? Why do I hear...water? Dripping? What is...Dripping? Dripping on...me? "Saylest! Focus!" I shake my head and try and focus. "Saber? What--" "Good, you're alright. On your feet. Quickly. Now!" I look around. We're in an alleyway and... Saber is... Bleeding all over me. "Can you stand?" "Y-Yeah. I think so...What happened to you?" And Berserker's manager is with us suddenly. No I guess, was she always here? "We need to leave quickly. Before Lancer can find us." "Lancer? He's here?" "Nearby, I may have lost him luckily." "Owww my head. Where's...Berserker?" "He's fine. More or less. But the we have to leave quickly. I cannot fight in this condition." And then I start taking notice. Her entire body is cut and bloodied everywhere. "Can you make a distraction to secure our escape route?" "Y-Yeah." "Good...Do so." Saber stands up and lifts up Berserker's manager. "Isn't she safer here?" "Escape. Quickly. Don't waste time." "Right." Where the hell is berserker? Stalling them? But he doesn't have a master...God I hope he doesn't die, that would really suck for me. I lead us out of the alleyway and start seducing people and causing a panic'd frenzy of lust for us to squeeze past. Thank god this cake shop isn't that far from our hotel. I see them though. I see those cloaked alondite soldiers on the rooftops heading somewhere...The cakeshop I'm pretty sure. Ignore the masses, just keep walking. ---Day 12, 4:55PM--- "Okay...So what the hell...happened?" Saber sets the cakeshop owner down on our couch. She's pretty bloodied up herself. "Precisely what I feared. Lancer took the initial strike." "I GET THAT! What EXACTLY happened?" "Frankly, I don't know! It was massive. The only reason I survived is because Berserker took it upon himself to take most of the blow." "But...That means he's gone...doesn't it?" "Not...urgh...Quite." I activate my eyes and... "God damn, what the hell. You're practically dead." "Well, not much to be done about that fact." I kiss her and try to heal her as much as I can. She doesn't even have a full one hundred units of mana left, and she lost a lot of blood too. "Okay. Now you can talk." Saber feels out her shoulder...and then I realized she wasn't using that arm up until now, it was just limp. "Anyways. Take a look at this." Saber lifts up skirt of the cakeshop owner to reveal a small semi-red tattoo on her thigh...wait... "A...command seal!?" "It flashed in crimson when he died, that's when I clued in. After the battle with Sphaede, his mana was quite low. And with you going unconscious mid-escape he didn't have time to make a pact with you. So it seems he made one with this woman instead." "I see...So do you think...he was going to betray us?" "I truly doubt that. He knows full and well he could not match up to me, especially after the demonstration I gave yesterday of my limitations." "He must have been...really low...So he's okay then?" "If I understand it correctly, so long as his Master is alive he will come back to life." "To be honest, I'm surprised you escaped Lancer while carrying both of us." "I didn't really. I had quite a head start. I'm guessing Lancer believed one of us to be Berserker's master." "So he didn't chase you?" "Oh he certainly did. But he did not expect a servant as fast as he was. I also expended a blade or two which he made a point to destroy. I'm sure he was expecting those blades to have some favour for me." "And with me to cover our tracks once we came out of the alley, no way to pursue further." "Which is why I waited for you to wake up. He knew I was still in the area and was watching too many locations at once." "..." I just breathe out. Just...everything out of my mouth. "This was such a nice day too. I was going to take you to the movies after that." "Hah. I'm sure you were." "So, learn anything about him?" "A bit." And Saber described what she noticed in detail. With any luck, this may help figure out who he is. Servant Database: Servant Lancer ---Day 12, 5:05PM--- "Well, now what?" "We'll need to explain the situation to the young lady here when she wakes up, but for the time being I insist we stay here." "Not letting me be stupid, huh?" "Not given the circumstances now. However..." "You're smiling...Oddly." "I am indeed. Getting hit with that attack, I can endure it at my full strength. And so long as you heal me after the initial blow, I should have more than enough to fight Lancer one on one while he thinks I'm near death." ...Well...that's Saber for you. Nearly died and all she can think about is how she could stand doing it all over again. "More promptly, he does not seem able to use it more than once in a fight." "Otherwise he'd have just blown the street apart?" "Quite the opposite. He tried just that and killed many in the process, but he missed. Despite that, I could tell the blast was significantly weaker than the initial one. If I had to guess, it was only half as powerful at best." "...Well damn. Can you really endure it twice?" "It's purely magical. My cape and armor should be more than enough to endure any use after the first, or atleast assist in such. And if each successive blast is weaker than the last, it likely drains a fair portion of his mana each time." "And tomorrow you'll have all your shields back as well, huh?" "Precisely. Let us merely hope Lancer has no Additional tricks up his sleeves." "Either way, what now? Can't just sit on our butts waiting til tomorrow." "For the time being, that's exactly what I intend to do." "Seriously?" "I know there is the concern for my supply, but that can be handled when we got get my arsenal from Yusuf." "I...suppose so." "They won't be searching for us in Ironhand city. Just keep the car's hood and windows up while we leave. Collecting mana in Ironhand should be completely safe for you." "With all the shops in that area, I'm sure there's a bar or two I could raid." "Though I'm not a fan of the idea, try have us both beyond our capacity." "Yeah yeah. Leave it to me." "You could take this moment to call Rider and his master now." "Oh yeah, they called earlier..." "I suppose training is fine as well, but do so nearby incase the owner wakes up soon." ~Player Choice #9~ : Pick 2 (Call Miri&Rider, see what they wanted) (Call Viorica, thank her for coming by) (Go train with Lilian) (Go train with Caster) (Use Lilian to restore Saber's mana) (Call the Overseer about Lancer) (Call the Overseer about the cakeshop owner) Poll Duration: 24 hours. |
