Fujimaru looks back towards Assassin. "Mata Ha-" Then her jaw clamp shut, her eyes widening.
Hmm, Ritsuka recognizes Mata Hari, this sets a couple of potential timeline points, there are only really 3 points where Mata Hari has full canonical existence that I can remember, and only 2 of which are important: Orleans, for her interlude, where she goes around mind-whammying people for intel, but doesn't really mean much to the story, Salem, where she is a major player, and Ooku, where she is a major player.
But her face, while similar, had changed. Her skin was clammy and pale, scars littering it, some light, some deep and jagged and fresh. Deep purple bags sagged underneath her eyes, and her hair was… haphazard, unevenly cut and laying about all over the place.
This kinda rules out France in the timeline, but post-Salem or post-Ooku would both work quite well. Either way, looks like we've got a lost-belt arc Fujimaru Ritsuka. Which means a lot of things could get very spicy very quickly. I'm inclined to say post-Salem, because she didn't have a positive reaction to Sakura, so she hasn't spent a lot of time with Parvati.
"What's messed up?" you ask. "The monster running about? The random people getting killed?" Annoyance seeps into your tone, but at the moment you didn't much care for pleasantries either. You were growing rather tired of the 'mystery' of your life lately.
Welcome, Fujimaru, to the Clusterfuck! Shit's fucked here!
"Dooooon't know…." Fujimaru responds. "Lost… her…." Her tone is slurred like a drunk, and her body is swaying to the point you are fairly certain it is Assassin's touch alone that is keeping her up.
In the distance, Mash and Mordred are having tea together, noone having any idea where either of them are.
So interestingly, the fact that Fujimaru doesn't know where Mash is means communications with Chaldea got cut off. Again. Things ought to be interesting when those get restored.
[X] [Wait for Assassin to finish]
Gather intelligence, Ritsuka isn't the type to hold it against either Shirou or Mata Hari, and probably was expecting it shortly after she saw Mata Hari. Plus, Shirou is quite canonically distrustful of mages, his dad taught him well, and this wouldn't be the worst thing he was willing to do to another mage. Happy flashbacks of Shirou choking Shinji to death.
This.....isn't right. Even outside of meta knowledge this is wrong...
Eh, it's perfectly in character for Mata Hari, it's kinda her thing really. Her Interlude has lay the pheromonal whammy on most of the French city of Marseille to gather information.
