[X] See if you can get a least one more thing before leaving.

Nobu is with us, and she has Luck A+. I'm willing to take the risk.

Back at camp - 26
  • Threadmarks
    • [X] Well I guess it is a good time to get back to camp...

    "Well, this is enough weirdness for me." I said, climbing up to Archer's back. "Lets get back to camp."

    "Agreed. This is enough hellscape for this Demon King."

    We all left the dark tower behind. The chill never left our spines, I could've sworn the tower was watching us, making note of us. We picked up our pace until we could see it anymore, but the chill was still there.

    After a while we came back to our camp. Lancer and Shirou had just finished cooking and Lancer switched places with the maid on guard duty. Judging by the smell, it seemed like the maid was now munching on some freshly cooked ramen. The setup was simple, Shirou's makeshift kitchen was a pot of delicious ramen cooked over a bonfire with fold up chairs and a single fallen log big enough for three people to sit on it surrounding the bonfire in a circle.

    Noticing our approach, Shirou waved his good hand, beckoning us to come over. "It seems like you're all back..." His smile died when he saw how distressed we all were. "Uh... Did something bad happen over there?"

    Rin shook her head. "We'd prefer to just... Process some things..." She sat at one of the fold up chairs.

    "If you need me, I'll be contacting a certain Wizard Marshall in my privite area." Luvia said to us as she retreated into the confines of her tent.
    Some birds flew off into the distance
    Feeling a lot better, I floated off Archer's back and towards the duffel bag that Rin dropped at her side. I started pulling out the things we had found. A pair of blades, a card and a switch knife. I kept the note in my pocket, I'll look into it later. Archer had left to join the patrol.

    Picking up one blade, the one whose steel shines like the moon itself. The black one started to move towards the one in my hands "I never heard or seen these blades before, though they do somehow feel familiar." I did a bit of structural analysis on the blades. "Weird, these things are almost like Noble Phantasms."

    "Noble Phantasms?" Rin said as she looked over me from her chair. "Are you telling me that we found a pair of Noble Phantasms?"

    "It would seem so. Lovingly crafted too." I swing the white blade a bit before the weight of it made me fall over.

    "Careful Assassin, that body is quite light you know." She gave a giggle.

    "I was just checking." I said as I got up. I placed the blade back with its twin. I picked up the card and started examining it.

    "Okay so what's with this one... What the?" No, no. That's impossible. There's no way someone could just distill a portion of a Heroic Spirit and place it all inside a card, right?

    "Assassin? What's wrong." Rin asked me.
    Dark figures gather at the edge
    "Oh nothing. Just eh..." I held the card up to her. "Rin, can you check the essence held in this card?"

    "Essence?" She took the card from my hand and did her own structural analysis. She eyes blew open as she stared at the card in her hands. "Just what is this? Some kind of mystic code?"

    "Whatever it is, I think we should look into it first before using it... That is if we CAN use it."

    "That's sounds about right." She kept giving it a curious stare before putting it in her pocket. "For safe keeping."

    Finally I picked up the knife... It was disappointingly normal. "Nothing? Really?" I checked it from every angle, pour little bits of prana to see if it does something, analyzed it to death with Structural Analysis. Nothing. "Well that's a bummer." I threw it back into the duffel.

    "Assassin, can I ask you something." Shirou asked after he doused the fire. "What're those blades in on the ground?"

    "Oh? The twin blades? Results of our expidition. We'll explain later. Wanna see?" I took the white blade and gave it to Shirou.

    He stared at it for a while. Looking at it from many different angles with a look of wonder in his eyes. "These thing are beautiful." He gave it a few short test swings in the air. "Though they feel kinda strange." He handed me back the white blade, I placed it back with its twin.
    The patrol group seems to be on edge about something
    "Strange? What's strange."

    He scratched the back of his head. "Well... It's hard to explain but... Well I feel like they have no purpose."

    "No purpose?" I tilted my head at him. "What do you mean by that?"

    "Well... I feel like they aren't made for anything. They just are you see. They're blades full of nothing... That didn't make much sense huh?"

    Rin looked at him oddly. "Are you sure a broken arm was the only thing that you broke?"

    "Hey, just because I said some weird things doesn't mean I have brain damage or anything."

    "I concur." The maid said as she finished her ramen. "Many speak of weird and odd things but it does not mean you can crudely label them as brained damaged individuals- "

    "Thank you miss-"

    "-when calling them weirdos is a more appropriate term." Having said her piece. She got up, gave a small bow, grabbed a rifle of sorts from below her chair and walked off to join the patrol.

    "Did she just call me a weirdo?"

    "She sure did." Rin confirmed. "Oh, almost forgot. I should really heal that arm of yours." She got out a few gems. "Don't worry it won't hurt. It'll be just like a warm sensation..."

    While she's doing that, I have plenty of free time for myself. What should I do?

    [X] Chat with someone
    -[x] The three girls patrolling

    Chatting with the girls on patrol basically means we're on patrol to, right? 4 distracted people is the same thing as 3 people paying attention right? Let's do this.
