So does anybody here actually play FGO? >_>
More than seven...
The thought instantly piqued Rider's interest; with so many more opponents, his plans and notions would have to be all the more careful and potent. He hoped, too, that Alice's skills as a magus could sustain him well enough to deal with an inevitably more frequent onslaught of opponents. For the time being, he wagered she was a top-quality magician, and there would be no issues there. Thanking the Ruler for the brief hospitality, Rider followed after the minuscule doll, thinking for a moment that they might be faster if he were to carry it instead.
"I think we have our work cut out for us," he said plainly, vanishing into his spiritual form. Conspicuous as an autonomous doll was on its own, it was far less visible than himself were he to remain tangible. "With double the contestants we will need to be on heightened vigil, if we weren't already. One would be apt to take to home for the night with so little information to go off of..." Rider paused.
"And yet, gleaning some information may be even more powerful given the circumstances. Certainly with so many Servants participating, we'd be bound to locate at least one by mere chance. If you were so willing, we might even be granted an opportunity to dwindle the enemy's numbers. The first night may be too soon for some to cope with, if they are want to prepare like yourself, Master. Even now my own lieges may come across a Servant nearby without us ever coming into direct contact with one another."
Sumanai is only good for dragons. I'll hedge my bets on the demon. :3c
The longer he looked upon the Ruler, the less his flamboyant dress seemed to jostle his senses. Indeed, there was a glow to the hero befitting of his attire; a glow that worried him. It was neither the fact that the Ruler appeared as a great hero in the truest sense of the word, but what lied beneath such a characteristic.
For it was a well-known fact that the truest heroes had the most incredible luck. Against a man as himself, who valued preparatory work and meeting expectations, a hero like Ruler appeared not merely as an opponent, but as an antithesis to his own force of intellect. Though the thought sparked across his mind, Rider showed no outward change in demeanor. It would have been more worrisome, in the end, if the Ruler were a competitor to the Grail itself. Fortunately, that was not the case.
"I cannot eat while I my thoughts race," Hugues said, declining the invitation to food from both Ruler and his Master, "But I appreciate the offer, Overseer. Might I ask another question as well?" he began, arms unfolding to fall to his sides. "What exactly is your purpose as the Overseer? You are a Servant, but who summoned you? Is your master present?"
Perhaps a hint of worry that the Ruler was not merely an Overseer remained.
RELEASING LIMITERS. FULL POWER OUTPUT UNLOCKED. UNINHIBITED FORCE UNLEASHED.
Hugues seemed utterly unperturbed by his master's sudden outburst of laughter, flickering on the border of intangibility and corporeality. That she would dissuade fears of an attack this early on but refuse to make a personal appearance all the same...
"Very well," he said plainly, "Inconsequential as a doll's death may be in this war, I shall escort it..." he paused, "You, to the destination. A discerning eye upon the competition, should they make an appearance themselves, will aid me greatly in the coming battles." He listened to Alice's last comment intently, and seemingly dwelled upon it for a few moments before speaking in a particularly confident tone.
"Some are quick-witted enough that such a complete plan is already well made and set. I dare say I may be one of them." Blank as his helmet was, Alice could discern the presence of a smile beneath the black veils. As the doll trotted off, Rider followed suit, maintaining his spiritual form as he came upon the outside world. Dark as it was, a being as large and imposing as himself would catch every glint of moonlight there was and signal to every late-night civilian that he was present. An appearance would have to wait until he were in more secretive locales.
------------------------------------------------------
Approaching the Church, Hugues could immediately discern from the wealth of energy welling at its center that this was, indeed, his Master's destination; the 'Overseer's Headquarters'. Fitting that it was a church. Entering through the front gate, Hugues found himself muttering a few words to himself in prayer.
"Let this be a sign that God is nearby."
Besides the Servant before him, no others were present. Only a bird familiar had made itself known. Disappointing. He had hoped to see others for more reasons than simply to size them up. Hugues materialized with a sigh, arms crossing as a gentle blue flame rippled across the surface of his armor before flitting away into nothing.
Before the overly-dressed Ruler, Hugues could only eye him in silence, hoping that the doll indeed could speak for Alice. Was this the attire of an aristocrat in the modern era? It looked expensive... almost arrogantly designed, as if purposefully toting importance beyond the actual value of the materials.
"Have other Servants come to this Church yet?" he asked of Ruler, waiting for his master to finish speaking prior.
Hugues will follow his Master's lead, which I'm assuming is towards the Overseer's location.
I've had so little to do today I decided to make a title for the rp.
"Night is descending. Are you sure you wish to venture for the Overseer's location? It would be wise to assume others have come to the same idea, and may seek to take advantage of travelers." Hugues tone was cautious, clearly opinionated but supportive of her decisions regardless. The Rider hummed as she explained her distaste for the use of furthered Bounded Fields, and expressed a counter-point, relying on his proficiency in the hidden.
"I may not look it, but my logical Servant class would be more akin to an Assassin of sorts, believe it or not Master," he began, "Though I may be a Rider, my potential may yet lie in arts suited for espionage and traps, if only slightly thanks to my current class. I would like to think my knowledge of the shadows may afford further-away Bounded Fields from alerting enemy compositions from outright discovering our temple. Beyond Bound Fields, my powers may give us a different scouting advantage..." Hugues said.
More aware of her Servants parameters and skills, she would have noticed his Never Alone's nature even more clearly than another Servant or Mage could. Still in his spiritual form, his presence nevertheless alerted Alcie as to there being 'someone more' to Rider than initially observed. It felt as though there were two, three, four...? She could not truly discern the exact count of presences that drifted about her Servant, but there definitely did seem to be more presences than Rider alone.
And even as she came to realize it was a purposeful trick, that the presences were no more than a passive skill making itself apparent to her, there was something more to it she couldn't quite place. It was only until they appeared that it became clear. Two ghostly shapes drifted into her view, manifesting within her home out of thin air. They were faint, almost invisible, and were she familiar with their existence, would have understood them to be wraiths.
Their interference with the world was negligible, especially given that even their appearance was barely registering in reality, but present they were.
"My lieges are as much mine as they are yours, Master. Though they are few in this nation, they will serve you and I as readily as they can. For now, they may merely watch, but as their existences are faint, their presences will not easily be detected by another Master of Servant. They may not be a Bounded Field, but they can serve as watchful eyes all the same. So long as we remain in this temple, they may keep vigil outside. They cannot drift far from us, try as I might to control them at such distances." Hugues paused for a moment, and the wraiths disappeared fully from sight. Whether or not they had moved, Alcie could not tell.
"By your leave, we may head for the Overseer, if that is still your wish."
