I finally caught one.
I don't think we have any pressing topics to discuss. Lets just see wait and see whats up with the ladies.

Rolled 20

>>26399990
Let's talk to Saber, maybe talk about the dream or her view of the final moments of the grail?

If we have not already

>>26399990
Ask Saber about Caster: do you think she'll seriously treat us as enemies at this point. Will she try to kill us without returning our copy of The Princess Bride?

>Saber.

Let's ask her about the end of the last war.

"Hey, Saber?"

"Yes Shirou?" She gives me a mildly concerned look.

"Is there anything strange you remember about the last Grail War? About how it ended?"

She looks confused before reflecting back. "I.... vaguely remember only one thing. When Gilgamesh was wounded and your Father ordered me to destroy the grail. I saw something.... leak?" She shakes her head. "And then a lot of fire. That's all I got before.... before I faded. I thought nothing of it, but...."

"It's fine. I just have a nagging feeling I'm overlooking something important." I tell her with a shrug. "I've been thinking about the last war a lot. I guess I thought maybe it had something to do with how it ended."

"I see." She shakes her head. "Don't worry on it too much. If it matters we'll figure something out."

"Yeah, I just hope I figure it out before it blows up or something." I respond with a frustrated sigh.

"It wouldn't be the first time ignorance gave birth to a greater evil." She responds concerned. She jumps slightly as rin nudges her and then blushes, turning away.

>?

> She jumps slightly as rin nudges her and then blushes, turning away

Yessss, the shell is melting

>>26400377
>It wouldn't be the first time ignorance gave birth to a greater evil

Unless she's referring to something really obvious I'm missing...
"Oh, what do you mean?"

Rolled 7

>>26400377
"I know that I'm pretty insensitve to these things but is there something wrong?"

>>26400377
Hmm, you don't suppose I could be working as an incubator for Avenger? I mean we know Servants lack a physical form and must return to the grail and Avenger must return to the Grail but is at the same time trying toescape his existance as All the Worlds Evils...There's a beginning of an idea there I'll think more on it later.

>>26400377

>give birth to a greater evil

Observant guy here.

Would this be a bad time to realize all the disappearances we heard about were women?

>>26400405

I think that was Rin's signal for her to stop talking about shit we find painful.

The blush is... interesting though.

>>26400615

Wait, what?

AH FUCK.

>>26400615
OH

STOP AND MENTION

uh yeah do >>26400615
how did we miss this

>>26400880
Cause we're not all Observant Guy?

Also, easily distractable... Ilya! Where's Ilya!

I turn, ready to make some sort of snarky comment that dies in my throat.

"Shirou?" Rin asks, concerned.

"Those disappearances on the news.... they were all women, weren't they?"

".... Disappearances?" Rider asks, while Sakura claps a hand over her own mouth.

"Sempai.... Wait, no... one of them was a man." She hesitates. "But only the one."

"Wait, what?" Rin asks, looking between us. "What's going on?"

"There's been a couple of disappearances around town. We thought it was the vampire's doing. But.... he was locked in a shed the whole time.... and all the people fell into a certain group...." I explain as the thoughts occur to me.

"So wait, what does that mean?" Saber asks, angry that we hadn't noticed.

>?

>>26401096
>?

"It's either Avenger or Zouken that's been busy for a while. Sakura, know anything about Zouken needing bodies?"

>>26401096
"I HAVE NO IDEA!"

Seriously, ObGuy. Where are you going with this?

>>26401096
Would the grail need sacrifices of some kind?
Properly or Improperly.

Either that or Zouken's been pulling some shit.

Rolled 20

>>26401096
Someone is going to give birth to a greater evil.....like the omen.

>>26401096
What would require a large number of female sacrafices?

Who was the guy? Was he connected to any of the other victims?

I got it! Avenger grail taints them, then Gil impregnates them. 9 months later one of them will have an Angra Manyu baby.
And if they had the vamp bite one of the women, it would have been assured!

So obvious.
.
.
.
.
This is a dumb theory and I deserve mocking.

>>26401150

The fact that they're all women is what gets to me.

All the living Grail vessels have been female. With the partial exception of Shinji.... who was all kinds of fucked. Though I suspect that was more because of 'not a mage'.

Which makes me wonder: is he making false grails? Is he plotting something that would require more than one grail core?

They were all (barring the one elementary school girl) child bearing age.

Personal theory is that Avenger's planned something with the idea that they can have children or something. Souls come from the root, and childbirth is a natural process. It's possible he's planning to.... do something with that? We just left my depth behind on Nasuverse metaphysics.

>>26401096
Tell her we'll have to look into them when we get home. Maybe get on the computer and amaze Rin with our techno-magic.

Given the stress of powering a servant like his Assassin, plus fighting Kotomine twice as well as anything else he's been doing, this could jst be Zouken feeding.

>>26401128
Let's say this for now.
No real need to spout crazy theories at the moment.
Definitely make a note to ask Archer if he knows anything, though.

Rolled 19

>>26401675
Good point, I'm agreeing with this.

We don't need to act crazy right now.

>>26401366
IT wouldn't hurt mentioning all this to the girls.

When you're given a set that follows a rule, except for ONE exception, don't you think it's worthwhile figuring out why that one thing was different?

>>26402148
Yes.

Rolled 18

>>26401366
Shinji was onlyn usable because of Illyas heart.

>>26402361
THE HEART, eh?

Hey boss, if we're out in the middle of crazy town, would you tell us or just make some popcorn for the show?

>>26402417
Wrong Quest anon.

"I'm not sure. The fact that they're all women is what gets me." I say with a frown. "Other than that one little kid they were all in the same age-group too."

"Nee-san?" Sakura asks, looking to Rin.

"... I don't know. The only thing I can think of is some sort of ritual that requires a specific type of focus or sacrifice." She responds, biting her thumb. "But that's a very narrow margin to shoot for. I'm not sure what it means."

"So what do we know?" Ilya asks. "We know there's been a lot of missing people. Since the police haven't been canvasing the entire city searching for a serial killer or something, it's probably a mage of some sort covering his or her tracks. Since the only reason a magus of any sort would be in town right now is the Grail...."

"It has to be connected." Rider comments. "Which means.... Zouken or Avenger...." She pauses. "Or I suppose Caster or Lancer's Master. They don't seem likely though."

"An outsider perhaps?" Saber asks. "Someone who is planning to get involved without command seals or a Servant?"

"Too many variables." Rin finally comments, decisively. "We need to either narrow it down or focus on something else. We can't afford to waste time running in circles guessing."

With that, we continue our trek towards the more urban side of town, each of us with our own thoughts.

"I like swords."

Aanyone here have ideas because either we've missed a shit ton of clues that we need or I'm just really incompetent, because I've no idea where to go from here. We can't fight Gil and Avenger without horrible death and the same goes for Zouken now. Who does that leave us as a target?

Taiga?

Call the number Avenger called us from and ask him if he took the women, Im assuming we have caller id

>>26402669
We could fight any of them if we could fucking contract with Saber.
We should just rip Avalon out of our chest and see if that fixes anything.

Have the group indulge in Shirou's selfishness (heh) and head for the clearing that Merlin showed to him.

Yes this ^

>>26402683
She's lying low, same goes for Ayako. Issei is being watched by Archer...Merlin can't talk to us until we sleep so that's out for now. Search for more runes and examine them? Are they on a count down timer for period of time passed, mana gathered, or ambient mana levels? Is this entire city on the ley line or just parts of it?

Too many questions and no real answers.
Also Gil said that Avenger and him needed the vampire so that they 'wouldn't' need to destroy an entire coastline. Why?

If we need to tell the girls something, just say we can't really tell them and they just need to trust us. Personally I think lying to them is a bad idea. Mostly because we're really awful at lying.

>>26404535
>>26405498

I'm feeling an urge to either veto or rephrase that since the ONLY advice we've gotten on Rin (from like three different people) is don't lie to her.

>>26405449
I thought we're headed for the clearing?
Eh fine.

Ask Rin if she sent familiars ahead of her planned destinations for today's excursion.
Ask for one to head for the clearing because reasons.
Then, the rest can either investigate more runes or the Church, if wormnigger is still there. We already got a powered up Saber here anyway.

AC-Guy, you should email moot and ask him what the fuck is going on. Or just buy a Pass.

I turn to Rin. "So, I'm guessing you already have familiars flying around wherever you plan on taking us?"

"A couple for the general area, yes." She gives me a look. "I didn't exactly have an exact schedule planned out though."

"Alright." I shrug. "Just wondering about the overall plan."

"The plan is recon and leveraging our presence to get a reaction. What we actually DO is less important." She answers, matter-of-factually.

"Just following your lead then?" I ask calmly, and she rapidly cycles through a dozen emotions ranging from 'embarrassed' to 'enraged' before settling on 'vaguely annoyed'.

"So you don't care what we do today? At all?"

"I would suggest sending a familiar or two to see if Zouken is still at the church. Other than that...." I shrug. "I'm not working, there's no chores or schoolwork to deal with, and I've got all the people I care about who might be threatened where I can keep an eye on them in case something happens. I'm already completely satisfied and out of things to do at the moment."

There's a few minutes of uncomfortable silence as we walk before Sakura hooks an arm into mine. "Sempai.... Wen was the last time you did something for yourself?"

".... You'll have to be a bit less vague." I say, frowning slightly. "There's a lot of things I do for 'me'."

"I mean, spend time with friends. Go see a movie...."

"Issei's fairly busy, so most of the time I spend with him is working, and Shinji... well... we had our falling out a while ago. Movies...."

"What about your other friends?" Ilya asks walking backwards as we cross the bridge.

There's a solid thirty seconds of awkward silence as everyone slowly turns to look at me. "Shirou?" Rin asks, concerned.

"Yes?"

She stares at me, confused for a moment, before turning away. "Nevermind." She then looks to the other girls and asks if anyone has an idea of where to go first.

Eventually, we settle on-

I feel a sense of unease as I watch Rin walk away, trying to focus on the movie instead. I eat a few pieces of popcorn and stare at the screen. A few minutes later, Saber stands up and walks out, looking.... confused.

After a moment, Sakura relocated to Saber's seat so she wouldn't be separated by an empty seat without stealing Rin's.

>>26443304
speaking of crack ships, I've been away from the quest for a long-ass time, what happened on the Saber/Rin front?

>>26443476
We still can't contract with her so Rin is her master now. There's a chance Saber might be coming out of her "I'll be gone in a week anyway, no reason to get attached" shell.

>>26443526
Fuckin rad. Still this quest runs way too late for me to actively contribute. So AC-guy if you could just automatically +1 any vote for Saber/Rin path for me that'd be great

>>26443476
Other than making Sakura think that she's a disgusting whore, not much. As far as we know, we're still dominating Rin points, with Rider following along some distance behind. We're definitely also romancing Sakura, and I think we've kissed all three of them. Saber's still a large unknown. We had a "date," seemed to go okay.

I think our official stance is "ignore the women till after ancient evils are done trying to kill us," but we're definitely realizing that the situation is going to become untenable before that.

>>26443580
but Sakura IS a disgusting whore

>>26443580
Women situation has moved up in priority as we've realized making any of them particularly angry could be more personally problematic than the Grail War

>>26443627
Then maybe two-timing on Rin with her sister isn't such a great idea.

"... Is something going on that I should be aware of?"

"Eh?" Sakura turns to me. "What?"

"It's just everyone is acting weird suddenly, and something's bothering you. I feel like I did something wrong but I don't know what it is."

".... That's not true Sempai...."

"Alright, then why did Saber and Rin just walk away mid movie?"

"Nee-san just went to get some air."

"So why did Saber follow her out like she was being called?"

Sakura fails to answer the question, instead trying to distract me by snuggling up and gasping at some on-screen twist.

She's hiding something.

[ ] Call her on it.
[ ] Ignore it.

>>26443760
[x] Ignore it.We need to trust Rin, she must be doing this for our own good

>>26443745

Two-timing would imply we've hooked up with anybody.

We've been deliberately avoiding the issue entirely. At least openly. We currently have Ilya, Lancer, and Rider (inside man) angling for the Harem route around our seemingly oblivious ass.

It's worth noting that we've never even declared a desire for such to them even, so they aren't 100% sure we're going for gold either.

>>26443745
Is it really 'two-timing' if all parties involved agree that it is a good arrangement?
>>26443760
[x] Ignore it. Mentally note to complain later. Completely forget after the next fight/shocking realisation/PUPPY!

>>26443745
Well, we kinda agreed to make Sakura happy on threat of death with Rider. At this point, a harem end might be our best shot at not getting killed.

>>26443760
[x] Ignore it.

It's something they don't want us finding out about, though their attempts to hide it are failing miserably.
I say we play along for now.

>>26443745
In /tg/'s eternal brilliance, we're trying for the harem. Rin is Shrirou-sexual and Rider is willing to share. Overcome Sakuras insecurities and we've got her. Saber is going to be the hard one to woo.

In my inept opinion

>>26443760
[X] Follow Rin and Saber... stealthily

>>26443853

We don't have the box at the moment. Stealth is a risky proposition.

>>26443842
See I'm ok with harem route I just want that sweet lesbian lovin'

>>26443817
Rider definitely knows we're going for harem, we asked her to feel out Sakura's reaction.

We've expressed sexual interest in Rin, Sakura, and Rider to their faces. We've kissed all three of them. Either we're actively angling for harem, or we're actively stringing along one or more of them.

Why don't we project a Shirou-sword-body-pillow for Sakura to hug and box out?

>>26443885
>>26443867
what box? The last time I was in the quest we tried to crash a car into Berserker and it exploded.

>>26443904
I think she means actual romantic attachment between the two and not just sex.

>>26443879

In context, less solid. Remember, Rider suggested Sharing to us first, and we asked about 'feeling them out' on the sly.

And we've openly admitted to all three girls you listed as being attracted to them, as well as being confused NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE SITUATION.

>>26443931
At one point we were cornered by Gilgamesh. We managed to sneak out under a cardboard box MGS-style.

We kept that box. He's our friend now.

>>26443931
That was like thirty+ threads ago.

We hid inside a box to escape a very, very angry Gilgamesh. Then we snuck into the house with the box and hid for like an hour in the living room. Inside a box. It was dumb as hell.

Let her know that it's fine that they're doing something, and that if it's what we think it might be, it's been a long time coming.

We're concerned that whatever they're plotting is regarding something that has reached the point where they feel the need to sneak around behind our back to do it, but we also know that getting in the way once it's reached said point is just going to be counterproductive.

More or less "Look, it's fine. Something's obviously on everyone's mind. That said, I'm pretty sure if I get in the way it's just going to make things more complicated, and I trust you guys to fill me in when it's all figured out behind the scenes.

But I would seriously appreciate it if you guys could try and handle it with a little less covert sneaking around. Can't help but get a little uncomfortable, y'know?"

In Japan? Surely you jest good sir

Guys, I think we should follow them. My danger sense is telling me something is up, and it hasn't steered me wrong yet.

A thought just occurred to me.
How many command seals does everyone have, and should Shirou give (one of) his to Rin?

>>26444128

Call Her on It seems to have two supporters, with the caveat that we're just telling her that we know and ignoring it.

>>26444141

I think you're paranoid.

>>26444141
I'm guessing Rin's plan is either to scout alone and let Shirou relax, with Sakura making sure he does, OR just give Shirou and Sakura some alone-time.

Either way, someone's going to get in trouble.

>>26444264
>>26444230

Would your opinion at all change if I mentioned I was the 'observant guy'?

>>26444264
>just give Shirou and Sakura some alone-time
We're still with Rider and Ilya, and I doubt Rin'd be so gung-ho about harem end.

>>26444332
do we know that Ilya isn't actually as young as she looks or are we just going pedo on her?

>>26444367

Ilya's locked into 'sister' route, and Shirou actually managed to flip the reveal of her real age with having already figured it out.

>>26444367
We're not romancing Ilya. She's kinda wing-manning us.

>>26444396
Fine by me I guess, but it's not like the nasuverse hasn't done non-blood-related incest before.

>>26444141
I'd agree with you, but I;m not sure if the problem will be Rin/Saber getting jumped by somebody, Sakura having another crisis, or some other emergency. Also, just doing nothing but relaxing during a Grail War just kinda feels wrong.

>>26444332
Sakura has other issues.

Maybe Rin wants to give the King of Knights a mana transfer?

>>26444421
We told her that we weren't trying to romance her.

>>26444456
fingers crossed

>>26444456
Rin can just give her prana the usual way.

>>26444945
she does have some nice tits, but isn't she like... a foot taller than Shirou, wouldn't hat be a weird couple?

>Sorry about delays. I had to deal with dogs on my end.

I sigh slightly, causing Sakura to tense as I try and relax into the film. It's hard to concentrate on the film with the sudden absences though, and things slowly wind down as the film progresses.

Sakura manages to relax again, seemingly enjoying herself and laughing along at certain points in the movie. Ilya's happily munching along on popcorn with a smile on her face, stealing the occasional glace my way. Meanwhile, all I get is a sense that something's.... wrong. Missing.

Like I'm being kept in the dark, or overlooking something obvious.

I'm going to be a bit miffed if she's actually missing after we were admonished for freaking when Ilya wasn't mentioned one night.

And then Taiga turned out to be kidnapped by a vampire.

Okay, if Rider's missing, ask Sakura immediately. If Rider isn't missing, go to the bathroom, call Rin. If Rin doesn't respond, call Issei. If Issei doesn't respond, try to get a hold of Souichibro.

Okay, so if it isn't Rider, what else could we be missing? The whole gang is here with us, minus Rin and Saber. Ilya warned us that today was going to be awkward due to them all finding out about the dream. Let's try asking Ilya what's going on./

They're probably planning some sort of pleasant surprise for us, and Shirou being Shirou, is just being denser than a neutron star.

alrighty, on to getting really fidgety in our chair before freaking out because we cant handle the secrets

>>26445313
Yes, but that isn't something obvious that Shirou's overlooking.

Why would we be getting multiple posts basically saying "YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING", if we aren't missing something?

>>26445372
>Why would we be getting multiple posts basically saying "YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING", if we aren't missing something?

Because in Shirou's mind, the girls are acting suspiciously so something must be HORRIBLY WRONG, instead of, you know, them being nervous about implementing their new Harem plan.

>>26445054

We need to get her a normal wardrobe, and a pair of Mystic Eye Killers. Anyone know how to get in touch with Miss Blue?

Say we're going to the washroom, then head outside and make phone calls.

>>26445449
Shiki would be our best lead, but Aoko would just steal the glasses from Touko. We could just skip that step and try to get them directly from her.

>>26444999
Call people from the bathroom.

>>26445487
Well, depending on how far down the line he is, we could just get Shiki's old glasses.

>>26445449
We could call Arc.

That puts us at five for bathroom phone calls if we include >>26445481 and >>26445504

Hopefully he's just busy writing and not being viciously mauled by beagles

I excuse myself to go to the bathroom, looking around to see if Saber or Rin are anywhere nearby. Failing to spot anybody, I make a phonecall to Rin's phone.

After a few rings, Saber answers it. "Hello?"

"Saber? Where did the two of you run off to?"

"Oh." She hesitates, and there's a slight rustling noise. "Just.. something that needed doing. Nothing to be concerned about."

"... Oh-kaaaay...." I respond, quirking an eyebrow. "Are you going to be back before the movie's over?"

She gives me a non-committal response before asking me to save some popcorn and hanging up.

>>26446187
[x] See if Rider is following us. If so, express frustration. If not, express frustration.

>>26446187
It can't be helped. Return to watching the movie and at least pretend we're capable of having fun.

>>26446187
Oh come ooooon

Do we just storm out or round up the other movie goers?

>>26444178
As far as we are aware, the only Command Seals that have been used thus far are one by Shirou, and I think either one or two by Rin. Pretty sure it's just one on Rin.

Besides which, Rin's contracted to Saber. If for whatever reason she needs to burn her last Command Seal, Saber's hardly gonna spin around and chop her in half. We're good.

>>26444999
At least getting in contact with Rin is the best bet here. Even if she doesn't tell us what she's doing, we need some idea. And not just because we're Shirou, but last time I checked we're in the middle of a goddamn Grail War in which the Assassin is a goddamn badass who was comfortable with challenging Saber to a one-on-one straight-up fight. Which is something we need to emphasize highly. We already tried to have an R&R evening. R&R morning is not necessary.

I'm guessing this is something related to the dream.

We just had relaxation night (even if it was weeks ago IRL), I doubt they're doing this just to let us relax.

The girls are clearly planning something secret, and they're doing a terrible job keeping it that way.

Yeah, but Shirou isn't contracted with anyone, so those Seals are going to waste.
Command Seals do more than just keep your Servant in line, remember. Rin could make better use of them anyway.

>>26446377
Yes. Command Seals also keep you as a Master in the war, capable of claiming the Grail. Not something we should casually distribute because we're not using ours right now.

>>26446364
D'you remember the last time our Shirou tried to do something he enjoyed for the sake of it, with no practical purpose for any other member of the group? I do. He tried to fix a bike.

How much cash does Shirou have on hand? Does he have ready access to an internet-connected computer at home? If not, does his school have some for student use in the library?

Thanks for running.

We could narrow it down to Ayako. I might be wrong but I think Shinji could have already worked for Avenger while attacking her.

My bad there, actually. I have a weird habit of having every detail be semi-important and then glossing over shit that doesn't matter. So naturally this sets off the occasional bit of super-panicking because I forget to mention Ilya's there or something.

But no, Taiga was around, and as far as you know nothing's happened to her today.

Given the nature of the game, you can't blame us for trying to be super careful about that kind of thing. Nor do we blame you for forgetting; there is a LOT to keep track of.
