[X] Let Deis bury it.
-[X] Go bother Tohsaka.

This is gonna be one of those embarrassing moments that the church agent (if still alive) and sacred weapon both pretend never happened.
 
[X] Let Deis bury it.
- [X] Go to sleep.

Rin will either keep, or be dead because she was hanging around Kirei too much, in which case it's probably for the best Flan not be around Rin.

A nap sounds good.
 
[X] Let Deis bury it.
- [X] Go to sleep.

If Rin is even at home. She was hanging out at the Church, so maybe Archer's already dead?

For the record, I'm assuming the top vote means that Flan is to take the Seventh Holy Scripture with her on her journey to bother Tohsaka.

    "I don't see a problem with it. It keeps the gun out of the way and protected, and I don't have anything I want to do with it." Deis smiles and fades away as Ershin carries the gun to the water's edge, and after it's sealed in another stone box it goes into the ground next to its master's coffin. You stand up and look at the sky.

    "You're going to go do something, aren't you?" You grin and she sighs.

    "I'm just feeling … cooped up, I guess, and I don't like it. And if that Archer won't do anything and I can't tell if he's even planning to do anything, I don't really feel like being restricted. But don't worry, I'm not going anywhere far," you say, grin widening, and Deis raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms. "I'm just going to go see if Tohsaka's home. Not planning on doing anything to her, so don't worry on that count - but if she's dumb enough to try killing me, I can kill the first Servant of this War." You take out Caster's gem and hold it up. "And I'll keep this out, so if you need me you can use it, okay?" Deis stares at you for a moment, then sighs and shakes her head.

    "Fine, fine. Let's go make sure Caster knows you're going, though." You nod and turn about to lead the way into the common room. Souichirou is gone, but Caster is still sitting at the table working at her magic. You hesitate, not wanting to interrupt anything too delicate. After a few seconds she sits back, frowning in concentration.

    "Is something wrong?" She glances at you and her face clears.

    "I'm just trying to determine how the anti-scrying barrier on the church works. It doesn't seem to work by ordinary magical principles, so I doubt it was the overseer's doing, but I can't figure out how it does work." She glares at the grey image in the scrying ball.

    "I'll be going out for a bit," you say, and she looks up at you, startled. "Just for a bit, and just over to see Tohsaka. I haven't been there yet, after all, and I just need to see her home and wherever Lancer's Master is hiding before I've been to every Master in this War. You can still contact me through this, right?" You hold the gem up and she nods, a little confused. You set the gem in your ribbon and grin, then curtsy and rush out without waiting for anything else. Relative freedom awaits! You dart past Sasaki once again and hurl yourself into the air. It's a brisk night, even a little on the cool side, but it's nice to fly around a bit. It doesn't take you very long to reach Tohsaka's home at the top of the residential area.

    You pause outside the house, of course, and study it. It's actually quite nice, relatively speaking - it can't compare to Ilya's castle, of course, but it fits the atmosphere of a cozy little mage's cottage. The style of the house makes it feel like home, a little, and it feels … red. Hmm … does Archer wear red because that's the color of his Master, or does the house feel red because of Archer's presence? You drop inside the gate to walk in, and he appears in front of the door, his expression makes it clear he disapproves of your presence.

    "I suppose you've come to speak with Rin?" You tilt your head and tap your lips as if you were honestly considering the question, then straighten and grin.

    "Actually, I came by so I could say I've been to the home of every Master I've met. I don't really plan on doing anything violent, and I certainly don't intend to cause any harm to Tohsaka. Although I make no such promise for you, so don't try anything."

    "Hah. In that case, why don't I show you around the house?" You frown suspiciously at the sudden offer, and he chuckles again. "Rin had been planning to meet with you tomorrow, and your current presence will let her start moving things along sooner. Because she was getting ready to sleep, however, she needs some time to get ready, so she asked me to keep you away from her until she's done." You stare at him for a moment, trying to decide how much you can trust him, and finally shrug.

    "I don't quite understand why I should allow that child to determine whether I can see her or not, but I suppose I can let you show me through the house until I get bored and go see her whether she's ready or not." He grunts and nods his head before opening the door for you. "You know, this is the second time I've encountered a Servant being used as a servant. It's a rather interesting concept." The front entrance opens into a wide hall with a sitting room to the right. You poke your head in - the chairs have red and purple upholstery, the woods are red, and it's very much a place where nothing important happens.

    "Oh? It's rather a novel concept for me, as well." He doesn't rise for the bait, but that's alright. "The dining room is ahead to the right. There is also a basement, but I'm afraid you aren't going to see it - it's Rin's workshop, so it would be very rude to go there without her explicit permission." You grin at him.

    "Ohh~? And you would try to stop me, I suppose?" He stares at you sternly and you laugh. "Well, Archer, you needn't worry too much - it would be such a waste to kill you just to see a humble mage's workspace." Instead of getting angry, however, he gives you a predator's grin.

    "I think you'll find me rather difficult to kill. But, so long as you don't try to enter the basement, I don't see that it will come to that. Come, the main room is this way." He leads you into the next room and stands to one side as you look around. There's a clock standing in one corner, bookshelves line the wall to your left, another door is to your right, and you walk forward to the most important piece of furniture. It's only an upright piano, but the cover flips up easily and the string of notes ring out … not perfectly, but well enough.

    "Tell Tohsaka she needs to have this tuned." You begin to play, a bit of music from Lyrica that's not too complicated - and from there you transition to a fast-paced bit of nonsense you made once upon a time, and then some older pieces for harpsichord that you updated for the piano. You're slightly distracted by a loud cough and miss two keys, but you keep playing as you look back to glare at Tohsaka. She stares back and you finish the song before lowering the case and patting the piano gently.

    "You can have it, if you like it that much." You snort disdainfully.

    "I don't have anywhere to keep it right now, and it's not as good as the ones I already have. I appreciate the offer, however." You curtsy, grinning almost mockingly. "Thank you for your hospitality, Tohsaka Rin. Archer said you wished to meet me?" She glances at the Servant and nods.

    "Yes, there are a couple things I wanted to discuss with you. Would you mind if we moved upstairs, or are you more comfortable here?" You look around the room and shrug. This room isn't bad, but neither is it good - it's just another room, only special because it has a piano. "Then let's go upstairs. Come on." You roll your eyes at her tone of voice, and when she turns back, confused by your lack of movement, you dart forward, slipping just between her and the door, and throw yourself up the stairs. You turn invisible and hold yourself against the ceiling as Tohsaka rushes up after you, snarling, and curl your wings around you to keep from giggling. "Damn it! Archer!" The Servant walks calmly up the stairs, shaking his head.

    "Why don't you wait in the study, Rin?" She spins toward him, glaring, but after a short stare-down she controls herself and plasters an obviously fake smile on her face. "If I find her before she finds you, I'll make sure she doesn't get lost again."

    "Thank you, Archer." She stomps quietly away and walks into one of the rooms. Archer sighs, and you quickly follow Tohsaka - it sounds like Archer is planning to say something long-winded. The study Tohsaka entered is more comfortable than the piano room, but much like the rest of the house that you've seen, it's 'upper-class' enough to be impressive to lessers, but isn't exactly classy. Like a merchant with enough money to outfit his home with a noble's accoutrements but who doesn't change the home itself, it almost feels desperate. She sits on one of the couches in the middle of the room and covers her face with one hand, balling the other into a fist. You sit on the desk by the window. "Stupid, stupid, stupid …."

    "You or me?" Tohsaka jumps and you drop your invisibility, staring blankly at her. She glares at you, then stares at the floor as she tries to regain her composure once more. Archer walks in, frowning at you, and stands behind his Master.

    "… Look, I … I'm not very good at this, okay? Not being in control of things is a new experience for me, so I'm making mistakes - especially because I keep underestimating you. I … I'm sorry." You stare at her, trying to figure out how sincere she's being … but she probably does. At least a little.

    "What did you want to talk to me about?" She bites her lip to keep from getting angry and nods.

    "I …. The Archer from the last Holy Grail War. I want him dead, but I'm not stupid enough to think that Archer and I can do it on our own. If I can get Emiya and Saber to cooperate with me, I think it'll still be a 'maybe.'" She hesitates.

    "You want my help fighting him." She nods.

    "Yours, because after watching you take out that Burial Agent I think that between you and Saber you can actually do it. If I can get Caster to help, that would be great, because I can't think of any other way to survive that Archer's attacks. If I can get Illyasviel as well, that would be great. But more than anything else right now, I want that Servant dead. If he'd done his job, my father wouldn't be dead." You stare at her, and she's definitely serious about this. It's even something you can understand and agree with. And Ilya … that Servant fought Saber at the end, against her father. Maybe, if it hadn't been for Archer, things might possibly have gone differently, so she might be willing - or she might just go against him on her own. But that aside ….

    "You want Saber and me to help because we can fight him, and so can Berserker. You want Caster to provide for a defense. But what about you, Tohsaka? What can you and your Archer do?" She takes a deep breath, closing her eyes, and Archer shifts uncomfortably.

    "… I'll be bait. I think I know where to find that Archer, but even if he isn't there, I think I can draw him out to a place where he can be attacked. Archer will be with you, and he can tell you if anything happens." She has to know she doesn't stand a chance against Archer if she does that. And with Archer somewhere else, she's dependent on other people for her survival. Brave … stupid, but brave. And an interesting choice.

    Might change to agree. This seems like a decent plan, but then again, the enemy is Gilgamesh.

    I'm against agreeing right now, because we can't speak for anyone but ourselves. We need to talk it over with Deis and Caster before getting involved with a big fight, because as our ally and our Host our actions will affect them.

    Grand coalition!
     
    one thing to consider is that Ilya will almost certainly want something for helping out. Damn if only Rin knew who her Archer was, then Ilya could take out some aggression on one brother with Berserker and talk to the other.

    Everyone wins! (except Archer EMIYA but thats what you get for having E rank luck)

    Don't forget to ask who else she's shard this plan with!

    Namely, has she shared or ranted about this plan in front of Kotomine. Because that is totally a thing Rin would do.
