Fate/White Parmesan

[] Discuss your current allies and plans on how to defeat Berserker. You both have to be on the same page if you're going anywhere with this.
-[] Place a hand on Rider's shoulder, this talk is not one to have within earshot of this woman but you want to give her some sign you're here for her.

You were worried about what Kiara was implying your servant has been doing. But that was thing you will tackle later. For now you needed to focus on the matter at hand even if it's just the broad strokes of what you knew. You're not going to let yourself be baited like this.

With Rider standing beside your chair, you reached out held her hand. She was surprised but relaxed a moment after as you kept your gaze on the woman before you. Her smile curled some more as you held your servant's hand.

"On the subject of what I have, I'm currently allied with Saber who's on the mission of recruiting Assassin's Master to our cause," you began with a serious look, "But seeing as Olga's already here, I don't think that will be an issue?"

"We've seen you defeat her not once but twice. The first time, you left her in a dire situation and we helped her rise once more. We tend to her wounds and granted her strength yet even then, you felled her a second time," Kiara murmured as she observed you, "You don't look like the type but you're quite violent, hm? I will speak with Olga and get her cooperation. She's recovering well from both physical and mental trauma."

"Right. Our current plan once revolved on disabling Berserker's Noble Phantasms and prevent him from utilizing his full strength," you continued as you crossed your arms, "With your help and Assassin's, we would be able to either defeat Berserker or assassinating his Master."

It was then that Archer spoke for what seemed to be the first time that evening, "His name. Do you know it?"

"Cu Chulainn. Ireland's Child of Light in his frenzied form," You replied towards Archer, "His strength is not one Servant could face alone. Not without burying the city in rubble."

"Riastrad. Warp Spasm. It's what you were researching in that library, were you not?" Kiara wondered as she tapped her cheek.

You blinked before tilting your head, "I... You were there?"

"She was. She spoke to me while you were busy," Medb chimed in as she looked to the side.

"I was just making conversation," Kiara giggled as she leaned on her seat.

"In any case, cooling him off was our first plan. So we plan on fighting him on the frozen lake where he could fall and have his fire quenched should he be in his frenzied state. Afterwards it's simply a matter of trapping him within Rider's Noble Phantasm until he's defeated," you listed off before meeting the other woman's gaze, "With more Servants, we have a higher rate of success. If we can force him down at once, not even he will stand a chance."

"So you already have plan. Then this is merely to elevate the success rate and lower the risks," Archer observed with a narrowed look, "I see. If you fail, the same trickery would not happen twice."

"Berserker is a monster but he still has his cunning. The only one to go toe to toe with him so far was Lancer and even then the knight of Spears was only able to push him back," you nodded as you glanced at Archer, "But with your support, we can make this happen."

"A much better outcome than the alternative of being taken one by one," Kiara said as she glanced at Rider, "Ah, but... Would Rider's Noble Phantasm be enough to quell his rage? You seem to be basing this on the steps taken to calm him down."

"If Rider's power isn't enough then we have a few Servant's waiting in line to pummel him," you continued with a nod, "It's why you're here."

"I see. I can understand. No man can resist her charm after all. She will take them to such high pleasures that what they experience could be akin to the Nirvana I seek," Kiara said as she looked at your servant with a dangerous light in her eyes, "If someone could do it, it's the Queen of Connacht."

"Master. You need to stop antagonizing them," Archer said as he glanced at the woman beside him.

Kiara jumped in her seat before giving you an apologetic look, "Ah. Forgive me."

You simply stared at her at her for that while Medb said nothing. The woman relaxed and said as she held her hand up.

"We will aid you. A message will be sent to you through one of my patients. You can tell them when you plan on attacking and Archer will help you. I'll also talk to Olga but for the sake of her cooperation, I'll hide your involvement so she doesn't suffer another panic attack," Kiara summed up as she stood up, "It's a pleasure to be working with you, Miss Brie."

"Right," you replied as you got up too, "I'll see you then."

"Brie let's leave," Rider said as she pulled you along.

She didn't even spare a glance at Kiara Sessyoin as she simply wanted to leave. You didn't resist as she dragged you with her. The most you had was Kiara's word. She shouldn't attack you now that the alliance was up. You needed to call Ruler.

However just as the two of you were going for the door, it suddenly opened. A girl was gingerly pushing it open wearing a white gown. Her arm was bandaged up while a strip went around her head. Her right eye had a white patch on it as she ended up standing before you.

"Miss Kiara, did you call-" Olga froze as she saw you within five feet of her.

"Huh?" You breathed as Rider stopped just as Olga's eyes widened before her face was filled with terror.

The girl jumped back and hit the ground, her crutches clattering beside her as she looked at you. She tried crawling backwards as her entire body trembled upon looking at you.

"No. No. Why. Why are you here?" Olga whispered as she tried dragging her body away, "Why. Why? You came to kill me. You've come to kill me, haven't you?"

You stared at her and you could feel bile threatening to rise up in your throat.

"Get away. Get away! Assassin! ASSASSIN! CARMILLA HELP! CARMILLA!" Olga cried out as she curled into a frightened ball and help her head, "HELP! HELP ME! CARMILLA!"

A dead weight dropped at the pit of your stomach as you watched this poor shell of a girl scream for her Servant. It was like she was looking at the Devil itself when she saw you.

"Brie, we have to go!" Rider snapped you out as she pulled you.

Kiara stepped out of her office go kneel beside the sobbing girl while Rider led you out. Olga continued to scream and you weren't sure if you're going to forget that wail. It was ringing in your ears as you ran.

You could only run away as fast as your legs could take you.

.....
....
...

You and Rider ran.

You both ran on foot to get away from Kiara's territory. You both didn't stop for anything as you soon found yourself out of strength and breath. You had been unconsciously using reinforcement on your legs to keep up with Ride and prevent her from ripping your arm off.

You were both as white as sheets once the two of you stopped by a snowy park. Despite the cold, you were sweating. You fell down your knees as you looked at the ground.

Rider leaned on the street lamp as she tried to gather her thoughts. You could still hear her screams... She looked at you with those eyes.

That place was fucking with your head. It was driving you crazy.

"Brie..." Rider said as she held her arm.

You felt sick.

[] Find the nearest trash bin and vomit. You can't do it. You need this out of your system. You can't take this anymore.
[] "Why did she look at me like that? Why was she looking at me like I wasn't a person?! I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it! I never meant to go that far! I didn't want it to go that far! It wasn't even me! It wasn't me... I didn't do that to her... I..."
[] "Rider. Is it true? What she said? What were those accidents. What did she mean, Rider? What else has been happening while you're collecting Mana, Rider? Rider what's going on? These accidents isn't you killing people, right? You'd never go that far!"
