The man's eyebrows raised themselves behind his shades, putting two and two together as he realized the obvious"Looks like you're the type that promotes a promiscuous lifestyle, I take it?"

"Indeed, my man. I believe in loving everything, especially women."

"I hear that Death is a woman, interestingly enough. Would you like to be acquainted?"

Johnny returned to his newly acquired lair, trunk fat with all the ingredients for "party favors".
As he worked he whistled a jaunty tune
" Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down,
You're here until you die..."

Bomb making made for quick but dirty work

"So, Sir Bill, if I might inquire, why did you join the Grail War?

Strongarm stalked the night with Berserker, a tall male with a feral disposition, by his side. "Doesn't look like all the rubbish have shown up yet." Brecht said, referring to some of the other master and servants based on the small group he encountered back at the church. As he contemplated the state of the HGW, he absent mindedly collided with a stranger, sending the pedestrian backwards and onto the ground. "Huh, my bad." Brecht quickly apologized to the fallen Japanese male whose gaze moved back and forth between himself and Berserker, apparently frightened by the two. The man picked up his feet and scurried off muttering something incoherent "These damn Japanese are starting to get on my nerves, why doesn't anyone here speak English? Maybe that's what I'll wish on the grail; to have these ingrates learn some damn manners and speak the American language like everybody else," Brecht was only half-serious for he was un-authorized to make a wish upon the Holy Grail, only to obtain it for his superiors. "Hmpf, I must have lost my mind, What gullible idiot would believe in a magic cup that grants wishes? How absurd," Strongarm motioned towards the silent Berserker. While he did not believe in the Holy Grail, he was by no means ignorant of otherworldly magic for he was a mage and he had summoned Berserker personally however the notion that the Grail was omnipotent was frankly ridiculous and unlikely. For there had been other winners of the War in the past; if the grail was all it was hyped to be, why has there been no abnormality in the balance of power in the world? Any individual with the grail could wish to be Gods, to have the world remolded in their image, bend others to their will etc yet nothing on such a widespread scale exists and power can simply be bought through military might and wealth. This was the rationale of the American Officer Brecht Strongarm. Yet doubt lingered in his mind, while he may not believe in the grail, Berserker was summoned with the promise of obtaining it therefore he naturally must believe in its power. Strongarm motioned towards the silent servant "Hey, I've been thinking. Why do you desire the grail?" He received no reply. "You wet behind the ears? I asked you a question" Berserker continued to ignore the American and focused his gaze elsewhere, "The side effect of Mad Enhancement is a total bitch. Just what the hell is he looking at?" Brecht followed Berserker's gaze to a woman across the street, whose notable assets could be admired even from this distance. Moreso considering the Asian race weren't exactly known to excel in certain areas. "Yeaaaah. Don't see how that can possibly have a happy ending, Time to bail." While Brecht was deep in thought, Berserker already made advances towards the female causing the Magus to streak forward and clasp his arm over Berserker's shoulder only for the servant to wave it off with ease and move forward.

At this stage, Strongarm was more than a little aggravated at Berserker's lack of discipline. "For crying out lud" Curling his hand into a fist, he lunged at the seemingly unsuspecting Berserker. Had the latter been any normal human, he might have missed the slight disruption in the wind; Berserker turned around and caught the punch with little difficulty, the resulting clash oddly creating a minute shockwave around them hurling some of the nearby pedestrians to the ground, much like before. Strongarm felt as if he'd collided with unbreakable steel and was impressed by the servant's strength "Not bad, guess you're stronger than you look at least." Berserker was notably much less impressed as he dismissed the encounter completely and turned back to meet his prey however the woman was nowhere to be found. "Whoops, guess we must have caused quite a commotion." Brecht grinned after a display of false ignorance, fully aware of this inevitability when he made his move towards Berserker. That smirk was quickly wiped off his face as the air surrounding Berserker seemed to grow cold and the faint sounds of growling were audible; the soldier's senses were on high alert as he surmised that he might have just royally pissed off his greatest asset, "Give me a break. Going after that chick would be nothing but trouble. How's about I make it up to you over a drink. I've got a keen nose for the good stuff, even in a backwater country like this." The tension dissipated nigh-instantly at the mention of alcohol. After what seemed like hours later, Berserker motioned towards Strongarm and spoke ".. Lead the way already..." clearly satisfied with the proposal.

"Good grief." The magus replied as they searched for the nearest bar. Brecht having long forgot about his previous inquiry as to Berserker's intentions.

"Well, I was going to say it was because I heard you had a breathtaking head of hair..." Iggy laughs, obviously joking.And so the two talked about many things and blah blah blah time passed..."So this is the church on the hill, eh?"Iggy opened the door and peeked around inside, alert.

TehChron said
Walking up from behind the self-styled priest of perversion, a man in a trenchcoat stalked forward towards the very same entrance to said church

Crimson King said
Kotomine stepped out from behind a doorway, approaching the group. He would want nothing more than to watch them kill each other, but there are still the rules of the war to follow."Welcome Masters, I am Kotomine Kirei, the overseer of this war. Before I begin, do any of you have any questions?" He asked.

Struggle said
A large burly man walks through the entrance. His expression impassive as he takes note of the oddly small turnout.

Crimson King said
Kotomine turned to the new arrival."Good evening, I am Kotomine Kirei, the mediator for this war. I assume you are familiar with the rules?"Turning again to the other master, Kotomine greeted him."Welcome to the Fuyuki church. Again, I ask you the same question I just asked. I assume you know what to do in this war?"

Guy of Z said
Archer dragged his master into the church still unconscious,"I think I will just wait until he regains consciousness. That's okay right?" he said aloud as he entered

Crimson King said
"Welcome then, Archer. As soon as your master awakens I shall begin speaking to him" Kotomine told the Servant."Ruler is simply here to make sure this war goes smoothly. As long as you follow the rules of the war, you'll have no worry" Kotomine explained.Turning to the now awakened master, Kotomine spoke."Welcome, Master Leviticus. Since you have summoned your servant, I assume you know the rules of this war. But to be sure, are there any concerns or questions you may have?"

Serperion said
Levi looked towards Kotomine and nodded. "I am familiar with the rules yes, no questions." And then he looked towards Archer."I know we were vulnerable and it was less of a stamina related issue than something more akin to forced mediation. But regardless if we had remained in our fortified base of operations as I had suggested then no risk would come to you or I. But your impatience and the realisation that unless I state it as a direct order you will be rebellious is worrying. To win this war, you must trust I know what I am doing." Levi turned to leave the church. "I placed my blood, sweat and tears into summoning you specifically, literally and figuratively. Will you trust me Archer?" Levi said as he moved towards the door. "Because more that I need to trust you, I want to trust you." And then he continued walking. His servant thought him weak, was he aware of the complexity of his summon, that linked him to the Ouroboros, something strong enough to sustain his mana. Levi wasn't sure, but regardless this was not for him, if was for Archer and for his brother.

A tiny whisp floated next to the lights of the Church's interior.
It was a minor fairy under the magus Johnatan Curtis' control.
Using the well-known magecraft to share his senses with his familiar, he had observed as the 4 other masters made their visit to the Supervisor in person.
To see four Masters and their four Servants before even meeting them, Johatan almost couldn't believe his luck!
The servant Archer caught his interest in particular. He was a hero of probably Indian descent.
This Grail War might be even more fun than he expected.
"Well, I guess I'm about to be done with my preparations."
But before that Johnatan made sure to drop his business card in front of the Supervisor's feet, saying:
Curtis Exorcism Inc.
"When you face the unseen."
Tel.: +44XXXXXXXXXXX

The blank side of the card had a precise drawing of Johnatan's Command Seal made by permanent marker.
This was the magus' way of telling he'd be participating in the war.
The priest Kotomine seemed to be more than sharp enough to get the message.

Kotomine picked up the business card. I t wasn't surprising some Masters decided to not reveal themselves. After all, having the enemy not know what you looked liek was quite an advantage.

"No thanks, I like a little meat on the bones, you know? On my bone, particularly."

The silence sat over the group heavily.

"So, not a jokester, then, are ya?"

idkman said
The silence sat over the group heavily."So, not a jokester, then, are ya?"

The look on Saber's face simply said "I am disappoint."

Serperion said
"Archer put me down, I shall not be carried out of here like an infantile." Levi said now with sternness in his voice."Plus if we were attacked I wouldn't trust you not to throw me to the side like a ragdoll, now let us walk, and tell me how you think we should proceed?"

"What is your strategy?" Archer said still with his master on his shoulder

"The first part of my strategy is for you to listen to me, and put me down!" Levi said, although he said sternly he was still trying to remain calm.

"My strategy mainly comprises of the fact that you are Archer, so of course mid to long distance is going to be our forté, I suggest we find some place high up, set up a new base, and scout from that area. We can set magical barriers that will trigger if people walk past them to figure out their position."

Levi running his hand through his platinum blond hair sighed, "But I think we must also proiritise figuring out the competition."

Ichypa said
The look on Saber's face simply said "I am disappoint."

The silence over the group was becoming very awkward.

"So uh, how about the weather, guys?"

"So be it what buildings do you suggest exactly?"

Levi thought for a moment.

"Let us go and look, we can test out different ones and see what works out best?" Levi said pointing to the first office block he saw upon looking around outside the church.

"There! Take me there." Levi said as he continued to point.

Iggy gets up to pee.

He figured it wasn't rude, since no one was talking anyways.

When Iggy opened the toilet's door he saw something unexpected.
He saw a large black feral dog sitting just in front of the potty.
Even though the creature was sitting it was almost as tall as Iggy.
It looked straight at Iggy with cold blood-red eyes which somehow did glow in the shoddily lit surroundings.

"Nope."

Iggy shut the door and briskly walked back to the table.

"It's occupied."

He looked at saber with a face that said "I might have shat my pants, trouble is afoot."

"What kind of trouble?" Saber asked as he stood up, his face serious. "The normal kind, or...my kind?"
