[Servant and Servant! You've crossed paths before, but with your Masters - this time it's just the two Servants.]

[Assassin smiles as she draws a small, plain kife. You'd expect someone of her class to be a bit stealthier, but it seems that a straightforward approach is more your style.]

No Masters this time. This is what I wanted from the start. Now we can put aside all worries aside from fighting to the death.

I hope you're ready.

[Servant and Master! The Grail War is complex, especially during times as tumultuous as these, and planning ahead for the upcoming battles is very important.]

[You've got all kinds of important plans up your sleeve, but Assassin is just leaning against the wall, eyes closed. She doesn't seem to be listening very hard. If you try to get her attention...]

Why should all this matter to me, one way or the other?

If I encounter a Servant, I'll kill the Servant. That's all I need to know. The rest is your problem.

[Servant and non-Servant! It's dangerous to go out into the woods alone at night, you know. Or at least, that's what they said... and maybe this is why.]

[You just stumbled upon two people. Only one of them has a head.]

[Blood sprays in various directions, making an almost beautiful pattern along the ground. As the freshly-made corpse collapses, the pale woman turns slowly, giving you a bloodstained smile.]

[She doesn't say anything, but you're not here to make small talk, are you?]

Ooh! What about that one?

[Servant and anyone! Do you know Assassin? Maybe, maybe not - but this appears to be her... but her personality is completely different now.]

[SHIKI bounces through whatever local festival is going on, looking like she doesn't have a care in the world, dragging you along by the hand.]

Hey, have you ever tried this? I hear it's a local specialty, but I've never had any.

You could stand to smile more. Has anyone ever told you that?

Lancer spins her spear around to a ready position.

"It's definitely more satisfying without that fool getting in the way."

[He did promise Assassin's master to keep an eye on her, but honestly Ky didn't expect to be dragged out to a festival. In fact, Ky doesn't even know she's a servant in the grail war sense]

Uh...

[Yes SHIKI, Ky heard that. frequently]

Oh, those I believe are barbeque eel - I never had it before.

[ ...at least she doesn't recognize the other, now headless person. It's not one of her men.

That said, someone is running around the woods decapitating people, and that's a very good reason to draw her sword and point it in the figure's direction. ]

State your name and allegiance, and drop your weapon.

*Sara is just gaping. She can barely reach for any of her weapons.*

You... Why!? Who was that? Who are you?

[Someone is smiling too, and has a hand on his sword's handle]

Heh. That's quite a mess there. What might you be? A demon? Or a very nasty rogue?

[nightskysword]

[Assassin vs. knight! You probably had to goad her into this, but when your class specialty is killing Masters, it's easy to goad Signum into wanting to kill you.]

You're a strange one, for an Assassin. If I'd known a duel was what you wanted from the beginning, I'd have gladly obliged.
