[x] Just try and practice the other spell you had. Better the Devil you know than the one you don't.
We're in a hotel, with no servant, practicing unknown but apparently destructive magecraft. Let's maybe not draw the enemy right to our position?

Maybe when we aren't in our home base with Medb out there. Hopefully that first attempted spell doesn't already draw trouble to us.

[] Just try and practice the other spell you had. Better the Devil you know than the one you don't
A sigh left your lips as you closed your eyes. It was so close too. Still there were many times to practice later or find out more about your magecraft. For now you should look to investigate what you can cast with no problem. You held out your hand as you ran energy through your circuits again.
"Ignition," you whispered as you were greeted by the sight of a Barrier in front of you. It a wall of magical energy large enough to be a car's wheel.
It was inscribe with glyphs you didn't understand before you leaned away as it promptly shattered. You frowned as you tried manifesting another before you. Power surged through your body as you managed to make another appear.
"More," you growled before the air shimmered. Light gathered beside the barrier you continued on providing power to, only for another barrier to appear and take shape.
"Layer," you commanded and the two shields layered themselves over one another.
You weren't able to hold their existence before they shattered. You were a bit winded as sweat ran down your cheek. You frowned as you cast the same spell again. You repeatedly this process for awhile until you eventually lost the energy to continue.
Any more and it'll... No, Medb should be taking someone's energy somewhere. She'll be fine. For now... You need to hit the hay. You just hoped you didn't see any of Medb's fragmented past. That's just asking for trouble.
But if you can get the effect you wanted then maybe you'll have an actual spell to rely on. You're up against freaks that could sent a strike force of exploding leaves for all you knew, you had to be ready. Or else you'll just be dead weight in a pinch.
You didn't like not doing anything while Rider was out there so you'll just keep practicing. As of now, the most these shields could do was take the brunt of an arrow shot from Archer as they shatter. You want to at least stop a couple of arrows from him.
Guns with low stopping power should hold the shield together but high caliber firearms will easily break your barrier. You should invest in a combat vest the next time you get money. Maybe that'll save you from being gored by a Lancer in the future.
Oh boy you can't move. Well... This was your life now.

The next day rolled by with you having breakfast courtesy of room service. It was pretty good all things considered but you felt that the bacon could be cooked a bit crispier that what they gave you.
Rider had returned as you were finishing with a happy look on her face. You raised an eyebrow before she dropped the credit cards on the bed. Your eyes widened before you frowned her way.
"I know. Bars are the best," Rider winked at you before you shook your head.
"And they just handed them to you?" You asked as you inspected the Master Card.
"Happily too. I suppose you'll get use from it. I already got what I wanted," Rider said with a smile. You then took one of the cards and tossed it her way.
She caught and gave you a questioning look. You replied as you crossed your legs, "I want you to check in the hotel. Get a private room. That's where you'll sink your teeth into The Police Chief... While we're in that note, how much control do you have on manifesting your Warriors?"
"They're just dumb brutes good as human shield. I can boost them to hurt Servants but they're not special," Rider replied as she hummed where she stood.
"So I can't use them as lookouts in the building. No matter. Just use them if you end up having to escape," you told her as you walked up to her.
You took her hand and placed a phone in her grasp.
"We can communicate via telepathy but I'll give you this as a backup in the event something jams that connection. Hopefully the Grail told you how to use that," you said as you sat back down.
"Don't worry, Master. I'll keep in touch," Rider said with a teasing smile before sitting beside you, "Wouldn't want you to be lonely after all."
"I'm counting on you. Beware of other Servants. If you're spotted, run away fast," you reminded her with a narrowed look, "You need to be alive if you want the Grail."
"Who do you think I am?" Medb purred as he traced her finger on your cheek, "I'll be fine. Don't worry."
You grabbed her wrist as your amber eyes met hers, "It's because you're you that I'm worried. Break a leg, Cheese Victim."
"Got it, Stray Master," Rider grinned as she pulled away from you.
Tonight's going to be shitty...
.....
....
...
Evening came and you were sitting by the Hotel's pool. It was currently unused due to the freezing weather but the outdoor bar was still bustling with some people. Business men in their suits or teenagers on vacation were around.
Still the majority of the people were looking beyond the railing towards the street below. It was a red carpet entrance done by the opposing Hotel from where you were. You sensed that Rider was already on her way to the party.
Looking down your watch you sighed as it was only 7pm.
You advised her to watch the time and observe the area. She hasn't said anything yet through your telepathy. She was probably having fun on her own. You looked around before walking away from the outdoor area of the hotel. You were freezing a bit...
You walked down the hotel halls before you felt your phone vibrate. You were distracted enough to bump against someone and make you drop your device to the ground.
"Shit," you cursed as you picked it up. You glanced at the person you hit and blinked.
He was a large man. Probably a good six and a half feet tall dressed in a dark suit. His face was hard as if it was chiseled from stone as his gray eyes bored into your own. He looked like he could snap you in half with his barehands.
"Sorry," you managed to squeak out but the giant didn't respond.
A voice chimed in front the side before a youthful boy stepped up, "Mr. Bel. That's not nice. You should at least say sorry."
The tall man blinked before speaking in a gravelly tone, "I apologize. You are not hurt?"
"I'm fine. Sorry for the trouble," you managed to say as you looked at your phone. It was just an application update.
Your eyes fell upon the violin case the boy was carrying before he set it down.
"Your phone's not broken, right? Geez. It's us who should be sorry," the boy said as he brought his angelic face towards you. His dark curly hair made it seem like he just got out of bed.
"Conrad. We're going to be late," Mr. Bel cleared his throat to gather his companion's attention.
Conrad smiled back at you and waved, "Right. See ya!"
You were left standing where you were before blinking. You turned around and made your way to the dining area. You need food...
.....
....
...
It was a couple hours later that you finished your meal when you stood up from your seat. You managed to pay for the bill with some cash you had on hand before walking out. It was then you perked up as a voice spoke into your mind.
"Hey there little Master."
Her voice was huskier than usual and... Right. She's doing her job. Ignore that and keep a straight face.
"You got him?" You asked right back.
"Around my finger. It took a bit but that's because he brought friends. They're all take care of."
"And they'll do everything we want now, right? If that's the case you'll accompany them tomorrow too. I'll be meeting you at the Police Station. We can begin our operation from there. Also try not to kill them."
"I'm no succubus, Master. But I'll try."
Well then... That's one problem down. You should head back to your room. You were walking through the lobby towards the elevator when you felt it. Your blood ran cold as you passed by the cafe. This feeling in your chest was like having a hand take hold of your heart.
Not good.
This was a Bounded Field. Something was horribly going wrong and you could sense it as your entire body screamed at you. You paused before the feeling passed and you could feel again.
"I felt that. That place is dangerous."
Rider's tone wasn't that one of amusement.
You started running. You dashed from where you were and ran for the exit and staggered out of the hotel. You felt the same chill as you noticed the power go out within the hotel. You stepped back as the lights vanished within the windows as you looked up before reaching down to the ground floor.
Guests were confused as you stepped away. You felt the faint presence of Magecraft but it was barely noticeable. The more you focused on it, the fainter it got, almost making it seem like you were imagining it.
You stared at the building as a man bumped into you, making him drop his briefcase.
"Oh sorry," he managed to say, with an apologetic look. Snow fell on his red hair as he gave you a small smile.
"No it's fine," you managed to say. You were about to step in when he grabbed you by the shoulder.
You tensed.
"Uh... How do I say this. You shouldn't go in," the man said with a nervous smile.
It clicked in your head. Was he a Mage?
"Why not?" You asked with a frown his way.
"Things might be a little hectic around here," the man lied rather badly before letting go of you.
He waved at you before walking into the hotel you were just at. He stopped by to tell the other people the same thing before stepping in further.
You stood where you were as you stared at the hotel. You have the desire to go to sleep but boy were you terrified. Your legs were shaking hard.
[] You'll do as what the guy says. You'll spend the night elsewhere. You're not taking your chances in there, you're better off freezing in a park.
[] That guy's up to something plus the Bounded Field could be still active. Something's going on here... Call Rider back so you could both observe the situation.
[] Book it. Fucking run as fast and as far as you can. The Church was nearby. You'll fucking run there if you have to, holy shit this was scary.

[] The Bounded Field must have been a fluke. You should get back in and rest in your room. You'll wait for Rider tomorrow.
[] You'll do as what the guy says. You'll spend the night elsewhere. You're not taking your chances in there, you're better off freezing in a park.
[] That guy's up to something plus the Bounded Field could be still active. Something's going on here... Call Rider back so you could both observe the situation.
[] Book it. Fucking run as fast and as far as you can. The Church was nearby. You'll fucking run there if you have to, holy shit this was scary.

Going in would risk shit hitting the fan and having to Command Rider to help us. Fuck this, stay the course, stay safe, and finish creating our info network. If things go so badly it hits the news we'd get the details from the cops anyway, or at least enough to make inferences on the magical side of things.

Guess this guy isnt a master otherwise we would have felt each others command seals. We aren't strong enough to get in the middle of a magus fight. it would be best to just act like any other civilian and leave for the time being. Even Rider thinks it isn't safe.

While I'd love to observe the dude whose playing good samaritan and warning people away, I don't want our squishy self anywhere near a Servant's playing field when that thing activates. Not all Bounded Fields are Blood Fort Andromeda, but just being physically near a Servant is a no-no.

As much as it interest me to snoop in on them... there is too much risk at this point as we are still setting up.
Also I fear there is tracker on us or magus watching us, so staying outside without any protection will be as bad as going inside the hotel room

You knew a warning when you heard one. You're not going to stick around when there's some bad shit going on. You moved away from the building and jogged towards a random direction. You soon picked up speed before Rider chimed in your mind.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm running."
"Wait, why are you running?!"
"I'm running because I'm a huge coward!"
"Get back here! You wanna die?!"
"Two Magi are going to fight I don't wanna be in the blast zone of that area!"
"Brie, I swear to the gods, I will tie you down to a goddamned bed!"
"Stop being so eerily specific! Also you might want to follow me! Or get one of your boy toys to pick me up! I'll be down the block!"
Rider didn't respond to that as you made a sharp turn to the local McDonald's and entered. You escaped the cold and shivered a bit as you brushed off snow from your body.
Staggering to a table, you sighed as you rubbed the bridge of your nose. Well at least that's over and done with. You blinked as you saw a police car roll up up at the front before you stood up. Walking out of the diner, you noticed that the cops were in a daze as Rider whistled at you from the backseat.
"Kept you waiting, huh?" Rider smiled as she leaned out the window as you took the passenger seat.
"Let's go. I don't want to be around here anymore," you told her as Medb snapped her fingers.
The car moved and vacated the area fast...
.....
....
...
The following day you were standing before the police station with Rider in her spiritual form. You read the newspaper and grimaced as you looked down to read it. Rider hovered behind you with a low chuckle in her voice.
"Dear me, Cherry Blossoms Hotel subjected to gang related violence. Multiple deaths have occurred, mostly against civilians," Rider whispered as she read over your shoulder, "The description of the attackers would... Like they were shambling corpses. It's even linked to a new type of drug."
You felt a chill down your spine. What if you hadn't spent the night in the new safehouse and just stayed in that place? Still things were getting worse for the town as killings and walking corpses wander about unrestrained. There's no telling if this was even the work of a Servant but most likely the Church was going to be involved.
The war itself may even be stopped while this was going on. Last thing you want was fighting Magi and a Dead Apostle. You didn't know that term until now but it just came up. It was like your brain was only remembering things that will scare you to death.
"We should go meet your friends," you said as you set aside the newspaper as a car rolled in the parking lot.
Edmund Langley stepped into view with his assistants as Medb manifested out of the shadows. The men took one look a her and stiffened as she smiled sweetly towards their direction. They immediately recomposed themselves as she waved for you to come over.
You did as she intended before the police chief looked down on you, "And who might this be, Miss?"
"She's my Master. Her orders should be considered my own," Rider smiled as she walked up to the police chief and tapped his cheek, "Got it, Eddy?"
"Of course. Welcome to the Police Station... Um," the Chief hesitated before you raised your hand.
"Brie," you replied with a nod.
"Miss Brie. Rest assured that our strength and resources yours to expend... Provided we can still undergo normal operation," the Chief said as he glanced at Medb.
"So long as you accomodate us, you'll get your reward for being a good boy," Rider giggled as she hopped up the steps, "Well? Let's go."
You followed Rider into the Police Station while the Chief and his men stared at her in adoration. You cleared your throat as you rallied them to follow suit. Walking into the station, Rider gathered a lot of gazes, some in awe, some in adoration, others in lust it she did love the attention.
You chose this moment to ask, "There's bee an incident last night on the hotel near to the one you attended. What can you tell me about that?"
"46 dead under the presumption of ingesting some new found party drug. The composition of their bodies resembled corpses. Our coroner couldn't make heads or tails about how they got that way," the Police Chief quickly replied to which you glanced at Medb.
She winked at you. She sure did a good job. Still there's more to the incident than what was said but you decided to switch gears. You were nearing his office now.
"What can you tell me about the serial murders?" You questioned once more.
"Well there's six victims so far. It occurs every other day of the week so there's most likely an incident tonight," The Chief replied with a grim tone, "It happens suddenly. There's no preventing it other than telling people to stay indoors. A curfew is in the process of being made but we don't know if it'll work."
"Any witnesses or suspects?" You managed to ask as the gears in your head turned.
"Aside from some druggies from the old buildings, none. They're both witnesses and suspects, more so on the latter considering everything," the Police Chief grumbled as he raised his hand, "Killings, disappearances, drugs and gang violence, it's all coming down all at once."
"It sure is," you said as you walked into the Chief's office where Medb sat on the desk with her legs crossed.
She smiled your way and swept her hand around the room, "Well, Stray Master? You did it. Your very own station, yours to command."
"Right," you sighed as you walked around the desk and sat on the Chief's chair and leaned back, "This is going to be a bit... Flashy."
"Do you have any other orders, Miss Brie?" Police Chief Edmund asked as Medb giggled on the side.
[] The incident last night was too close for comfort for you. You want to find out more about it. Schedule a meeting with the coroner and show one of the bodies to you. You also want everything they have on that incident.
[] You want the entire force to be on the lookout for the White clothed gunmen accompanying Archer. Information regarding arms dealers or large packages being carried around the city would be nice. You want to know who and where these guys are.
[] Write in...

The war itself may even be stopped while this was going on. Last thing you want was fighting Magi and a Dead Apostle. You didn't know that term until now but it just came up. It was like your brain was only remembering things that will scare you to death.
"We should go meet your friends," you said as you set aside the newspaper as a car rolled in the parking lot.
Edmund Langley stepped into view with his assistants as Medb manifested out of the shadows. The men took one look a her and stiffened as she smiled sweetly towards their direction. They immediately recomposed themselves as she waved for you to come over.
You did as she intended before the police chief looked down on you, "And who might this be, Miss?"
"She's my Master. Her orders should be considered my own," Rider smiled as she walked up to the police chief and tapped his cheek, "Got it, Eddy?"
"Of course. Welcome to the Police Station... Um," the Chief hesitated before you raised your hand.
"Brie," you replied with a nod.
"Miss Brie. Rest assured that our strength and resources yours to expend... Provided we can still undergo normal operation," the Chief said as he glanced at Medb.
"So long as you accomodate us, you'll get your reward for being a good boy," Rider giggled as she hopped up the steps, "Well? Let's go."
You followed Rider into the Police Station while the Chief and his men stared at her in adoration. You cleared your throat as you rallied them to follow suit. Walking into the station, Rider gathered a lot of gazes, some in awe, some in adoration, others in lust it she did love the attention.
You chose this moment to ask, "There's bee an incident last night on the hotel near to the one you attended. What can you tell me about that?"
"46 dead under the presumption of ingesting some new found party drug. The composition of their bodies resembled corpses. Our coroner couldn't make heads or tails about how they got that way," the Police Chief quickly replied to which you glanced at Medb.
She winked at you. She sure did a good job. Still there's more to the incident than what was said but you decided to switch gears. You were nearing his office now.
"What can you tell me about the serial murders?" You questioned once more.
"Well there's six victims so far. It occurs every other day of the week so there's most likely an incident tonight," The Chief replied with a grim tone, "It happens suddenly. There's no preventing it other than telling people to stay indoors. A curfew is in the process of being made but we don't know if it'll work."
"Any witnesses or suspects?" You managed to ask as the gears in your head turned.
"Aside from some druggies from the old buildings, none. They're both witnesses and suspects, more so on the latter considering everything," the Police Chief grumbled as he raised his hand, "Killings, disappearances, drugs and gang violence, it's all coming down all at once."
"It sure is," you said as you walked into the Chief's office where Medb sat on the desk with her legs crossed.
She smiled your way and swept her hand around the room, "Well, Stray Master? You did it. Your very own station, yours to command."
"Right," you sighed as you walked around the desk and sat on the Chief's chair and leaned back, "This is going to be a bit... Flashy."
"Do you have any other orders, Miss Brie?" Police Chief Edmund asked as Medb giggled on the side.
