Wish i could find such awesome, more obscure Servant ideas myself, to be honest. :)

@Holy Grail

Same. Most of the time, any Servant idea I think of either is too recent, has already been done, or gives me trouble finding enough information to make them usable.

As long as it doesn't involve me jumping headfirst into combat again, lol.

Okay, I finally have a reply up. Getting a new laptop today (mine has officially been declared, in the expert's terms, borked), so I should be able to go back to a better length soon.

Fuyuki Hyatt, Day Two

The night had taken its toll on Marguerite. Between the adrenaline spike brought on by the encounter with the insectoid thing, the use of Saber's Noble Phantasm, and jet lag finally catching up with her, she was, to put it simply, tired. For the first time she could remember, she had hit snooze on her alarm not once but twice. Once​ she finally woke, however, it was down to business. She climbed out of bed, got dressed--impeccable as always--brushed her teeth, then stepped out into the main room, addressing Saber as she did. Breakfast could wait; she had things to address.

Last night had been... less than successful. They had survived, yes, and their attacker was gone, but the cost had been steep. If anyone had been watching--and they almost certainly had--then they would know Saber's identity. Admittedly, even knowing his weak point, it would be difficult to hit one leaf-sized spot on his back, but it was still a liability. Not to mention the identity of their attacker. The thing had looked and acted like an animal; she doubted it had just been wandering around. But that would mean it had likely been sent, which was far more problematic, especially if whatever had sent it was watching. Addressing that should be their first priority.

"I'm thinking we should go to the church today," she said, "Whatever that thing was last night, I'm fairly sure it should not be part of a Holy Grail War, and I'm sure the Overseer would appreciate an eyewitness account. I'd also like to try to get a look around the city without being attacked by a giant insect."

Hi all. Sorry for vanishing. My computer decided that now would be a wonderful time to up and stop working. I'll get a post up from my tablet later today, but it'll probably be shorter, as will my other posts until I can either get it working or bite the bullet and get a new one.

So the middle ground would not work. This was a problem. A large problem. A large, fast problem that, should they--should she--hesitate, would quite possibly end her participation in this War before it could truly begin. Nervously, she glanced up at the problem in question. She had no doubt that it would be able to catch up to her should she attempt to run, or should Saber attempt to carry her. Retreating on her own while her Servant held the thing off was a gamble, a Hail Mary. It could work, but she had no way to be sure that it would. Given that it had an aerial advantage, it would most likely just find a way to go over Saber to her.

As for their other option... Marguerite had no doubt that should Siegfried use his Noble Phantasm, he would be able to destroy the giant insect, or at least drive it off. If it didn't, they were likely already dead. But was that a risk she was willing to take? Would she take such a drain on her prana? Would she reveal her Servant's identity and thus his legendary and obvious weakness this early in the War? She had no idea who if anyone was watching at the moment, but she was sure the act would not go unnoticed. It was entirely possible that by winning this battle, she would lose the War.

This was bad. This was very bad. So bad she regretted deciding to come out in the first place. But there was no time for regrets. She had to make a decision, and fast.

"Saber... Drive it off." Marguerite Calder stood straight, voice commanding, every inch a magus, every inch a Master. She could second-guess her decision later, but for now she needed to show unwavering resolve. "Use your Noble Phantasm."

I am at the moment unable to reply, but with any luck, I should be able to get something up a few hours from now. This weekend is always crazy busy for me.

Marguerite had stumbled back a few steps when the blows had been struck, as if the air had pushed her back. She had expected to see the stuff of legends during this War, but this was a whole new level. The giant insectoid... thing was also a surprise. Could it possibly be a Servant? She doubted it, but if it was, she would be able to see its parameters, right?

From what she could tell, neither the thing nor Saber had been significantly stuck by the other's blows, which was both a relief and an annoyance. Were the battle to continue at this rate, it would become one of attrition, and without more knowledge of the enemy, she did could not gauge what the result would be.

So their options were escalate or retreat. The former option would hopefully end the fight in their favor, but it would likely cost her more Mana and possibly draw the attention of enemy Servants. Not an appealing combination. As for the latter... the thing had already proven itself to be fast. Most likely it would be able to chase them down should they turn and flee. So perhaps a combination of the two.

"Saber, do you think you can knock it down hard enough that we can make a run for it?" All things considered, she would rather live to fight another day rather than possibly exhausting themselves or showing their hand for one early victory. This way they could regroup and perhaps form a strategy for next time.

Shit, I'm behind. I'll try to get a post up ASAP, but I'm on my phone at the moment so it might be a bit short.

@ConstantlyComic@SIGINT My fem!Character's name in Fate/GO is "Erina". Because JoJo references for fun. XD

Though it feels like i am very underleveled as compared to you two. :P Eh, whatever.

Also think i am going to try to get some sleep for tonight, though. Night!

@Holy Grail

I should've gone for a JoJo reference instead of the obscure Tolkien reference. But yeah, don't worry about levels. There's nothing wrong with going slow.

Erin, here. (And dang, that team. Very, very nice. Godspeed to your leveling!)

@SIGINT

Yeah. I've been obscenely lucky on ticket rolls in the past (Waver was funny; I was going for an event CE and got him instead). Cu Alter and Proto!Arthur both came from getting my brothers to do 10-rolls for me. That's the only way I'll do 10-rolls now. Power leveling is torture fun.
