Nice unanimous bandwagon you guys have there. Shame if something happened to it. :V

[X] Downwards. The best footing is solid ground, even if the temperature is dropping

I'd like to say I have a reason for this vote, but it's just what my gut is telling me is the better choice.
 
We are a ninja. Clearly this is the only option.
[x] Upwards. You're willing to risk it now, if the snow will keep in your way.

Also, why am I getting F/SN vibes here? Is it because Olivie is a seibahface?

The amount I've revealed about Masquerade thus far makes people draw Shirou comparisons apparently.

Gee, I wonder why :V

The following oddly specific statement applies equally well to Kyouya Takamachi and Shirou Emiya: "The sword-wielding high school male protagonist of a supernatural eroge with multiple routes, whose token loli imouto became the star of a magical girl spinoff series".

Head says downwards, heart says:

Well, remember Kyouya's father is Shirou Takamachi and he's even more sword, more ninja, but retired to his true calling of making food after battle injuries forced him to retire.
EMIYA: "Goddamit I should have done that instead of contracting with Alaya"

Masquerade {4}

    • It's getting colder you note as you begin your ascent up the tree. The freezing winds bite into your face but you can't hesitate for a moment, lest you lose momentum and fall to the ground below. You don't even know how high up you are at the moment and you don't really care. Your training pays off for this moment.

    As it turns out, it pays off twice over. And you don't get the extra.

    "JET STEP!" You hear Vivio roars before the faint footsteps of your opponent turn into a roaring avalanche, the faint glow of her heterochromatic eyes piercing the tumbling snow as that bright hair of hers appears by your side. "Of course I can keep up! You're pretty good if you can do something like this!"

    "That ability of yours sure is something." You reply, not turning around to face her. "I'm sure it has caught a lot of people off guard."

    "What about yours?" She asks. "I can't even copy it, what does it do exactly?"

    "You know," The clouds that surround the top of the tree are getting closer now, just a few more seconds and you'd be able to pierce the barrier. "I'm not even sure myself. This is only my second duel after all, and I've only had it for a little while."

    "Aha, I know how you feel. I wasn't sure what mine did at first either."

    You let a small chuckle leave your lips as you measure the distance between and you the top.

    The sky beyond there is unknown, but you aren't going to hesitate because of that. You are going to go all in.

    "Flash Move!" You intone as the world because a blur. One moment you're running up the tree with Vivio, the next you've pierced the clouds only to see the most gorgeous sunset you've ever seen.

    Also, you're falling several feet in the air. Angling yourself, you land on the top of the tree trunk that extended itself into the sky. It was flat, you realize. No branches extended higher into the sky; in fact, there are no branches above the clouds at all. Just a wooden platform to stand on where falling off means falling to the cold ground far below.

    You slowly bring yourself to your feet, and your swords into your battle stance as Vivio's form bursts through the clouds, rolling onto the arena before copying you. "Well, this is it, isn't it? The highest we can go."

    You give a light smile. "Don't worry, this is more than enough room to face you."

    "Then it's more than enough room for me."

    And in an instant you split-

    You charge at her from the left side before swinging your blades, each strike countered by the girl's own-

    You go for her blind spot, dashing to her right before your blades are knocked out of your hands by a sudden blur-

    You just charge right at her, appearing in front of the woman and giving a quick slash before she bends her knees, swivels to the right, and gives you a counter with her left blade, leaving your hand up in the air and your chest open.

    She lunges for the opening but you blink, memories crashing together in a brief surge of pain as you twist your body quickly in order to dodge the blade and give a counter of your own. The sound of metal against metal rings through the air once more as you counter each other blow for blow, mirroring each other almost perfectly as you try to win this duel.

    Her foot position shifts as she swivels to avoid another of your strikes again, as she counters before lunging forward which you swiftly counter with a strike of your own. You pause, dashing away from the girl-turned-woman as your thoughts churned.

    Something seems about the way she fought seemed... off.
    Do you see it?​
    She is matching you blow for blow but the way she is doing it felt wrong.
    Can you see behind the Masquerade?​
    You watch her circling around you, panting for breath as she gets into position.
    You can, can't you? The hidden part of this royal dance.​
    You thoughts turn to analyze the entire fight, every thing the girl did. Every action...
    Go ahead, show me.​
    And then it clicks and you know exactly what to do.
    You're not alone in the mirror..
    ​
    [] Use Untraveled Road to mob her again.
    [] Bait her into a counter attack.
    [] Try to remove her swords.

    AN: Six months and only a eight hundred word update? Well It's not as long as I would've liked but I've gone without updating long enough.

    I'm a bit hesitant because the road to victory requires you to actually think.

    The other two lead to defeat, or a Bad End.

    • Well, will ya look at that, the dead can indeed come back to life! And we didn't even have to wait for The Last Judgement to come either!

    Anyway, she counters everything we do by copying our fighting style. I'm going to guess it's some sort of budget UBW-like effect. Mobbing didn't work and baiting into a counter will only lead to further blade-clashing, so the only real option is to disarm her of the swords.

    You know, when Jesus comes back, wrecks Satan's face and resurrects the dead so all can be judged with Perfect Justice. All that stuff in the Revelations. I mentioned it mostly because of my whole Deus Vult schtick. The other choice was a Lovecraft quote about Strange Aeons and the Reaper falling on his own scythe, and god knows the internet has plenty of people quoting that passage already.
