[VIDEO/ACTION DURING DARK HOUR]

[Tonight, if you're wandering outside during the cursed hour, you may notice an unfamiliar man in hakama defeating tons of low-level Shadows with ease. Even from far, his Japanese sword should be visible due to its' length, which could come in par with a spear. Good luck in seeing his lightning speed slashes, though.

After giving a short time at his current area, Assassin'll wander again without an exact destination in mind. Yep, that is the definite time when one could encounter him/see him through communicators. Worry not, he means no harm. Well... Until he get a clear explanation about those monsters, of course.

Also, expect Video/Phone/Text reply to have a long pause, because loltechnology.]

[PHONE]

Technologies these days... This cell phone is as interesting as its' usefulness. I'll be certain to dig further into this little thing when I got the time.

Oh, forgive my incoherent ramblings. I am Servant of the Assassin class, Sasaki Kojiro. So it seems I've been summoned again by a latent Master. That being the case, I have but a short and simple question in which I require a quick answer.

Are you my Master?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I should have expected a direct turn down, but this certainly surprise me. However, you have my thanks for the quick response.

[Or...] Then before we hung the connection, perhaps you know a witch that nicknamed herself Caster?

My sister-in-law was here for a brief period, but isn't here any longer. And she was as much a victim of this place as the rest of us.

[Sister-in-law. What. All of his surprise.]

Pardon me, your what?

You meant Caster, didn't you? Woman who wears a hood, beautiful, blue hair, lived in the Ryudoji Temple? Engaged to Kuzuki Souichirou - that is to say, my brother?

[Oh ho.]

...I see. Yes, I do meant her. However, it was beyond me that she was engaged to her Master.

If we put two on two together, then you're from the same place as me?

It's likely to be true. We seem to have a fair number of people taken from home, although not all from the same time, nor is everyone here from Fuyuki or that universe.

Funny how fate have its' own plan. And for what, and how we were summoned here? A wish of the Grail?

I doubt that, but I have no clearer ideas as to what power is at work.

Ho. Very well, I got the basic idea about things here. For that, you have acquired another of my gratitude.

Please do forgive my lack of manner, but might I have the honor to know your name?

Issei Ryudo. May I have yours?

Servant Assassin, Sasaki Kojiro of the Ganryu Sword School.

Or by simpler terms, I am a Servant that was summoned by another Servant.

Do you prefer Assassin or Sasaki Kojiro?

Either that would fit your liking, Issei Ryudo.

Hence, I suppose I should ask the same question to you as well.

We haven't met each other for long. Ryudo might be best.

Then Ryudo it is.

By "everyone here from Fuyuki" you've stated before, might I know who else? Besides that witch.

Emiya Kiritsugu and Emiya Shirou. The Fourth War's Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, and Archer. Masters of the Fourth War's Rider and Caster, and the almost Master of Lancer. Fifth Saber and Lancer.

That should be it from Fuyuki.

[The almost Master of Lancer piqued his interest, really. But Ryudo just mentioned one name that made him happy.]

Saber from the Fifth? Ho~ It seems things are far better here than I had anticipated.

...Another one with interest in her? It seems that she's quite popular.

I wouldn't wonder, considering all the skills she possess, yes.

You might have to vie with others for her attention.

That sounds extremely better.

A healthy love of competition isn't bad.

Hmm. [That is a hum of agreement, by the way.] Ah, it seems I've sidetracked from the main topic a bit far.

An explanation about those coffins, if you would? [A pause.] Before your answer, I would like to give a shot at guessing. It's natural occurrence in this city, isn't it?
