[Stirk]

Archer tries again to locate a city guard to report the suspicious pile of bodies at the ambush, now that the city is full of people again. With swords dispelled, of course, as carrying them in public does not seem to be the custom.

Finding a blue-uniformed "guardsman" is pretty simple. For some reason several showed up when they heard reports of unexplained smoke, so there are three standing apart from the crowd of gawkers.

mediocre wine

That’s not what I said.

a nice bottle of wine is probably called for in the alcohol department. Not necessarily "high-end", but certainly of quality.

Mediocre supermarket wine isn’t exactly “of quality”. I’m not saying I can go for the best wines - those things get expensive - but a good wine for say, $50, I can do that.

Where do you think the "alcohol department" is :V?

”I suppose, but I worry roses would seem like I’m coming on too strong. You see, I don’t really know the girl I’m buying these for that well, and I want to make a good first impression, but not come on too strong if it turns out she’s not interested.”

Listen, my point is, if it’s described as “mediocre”, then that’s really probably not good enough.

In the message you quoted, I didn’t just pick $50 out of a hat; I looked up the average prices of good wines, and the 4.3-$50 line seemed like a good balance between quality and price. Maybe even go a bit higher than that, into the $75 area.
The wine coming from the supermarket or grocery store is not the problem. The problem is that you declared it to be “mediocre wine”.

"How about a single rose then? Less intense then a dozen, perfect for a first date!"

((I mean if you look at the thing, the highest is 4.8 and the lowest is 3.6. The number right in the middle of those two is 4.2. I'm the gun and anime guy! I don't know anything about flowers or alcohol! Unless we are talking about OH groups! All I know about wine is that it is often invested in since it will always gain value as it ages, and it gets super freaking expensive for it was older! And that is because it was the plot point in an anime!))

”I don’t know, I’m trying for a “Hey, I’d be open for a relationship, but if you aren’t, I still think I’d like to be friends with you”, that seems a little too ‘Tuxedo Mask’” (Berserker’s thoughts: “”Why did the grail decide all these random anime things were important enough to inform me of!”) ”Do you have any thoughts on this, boss?”

[Glass]

If you think I know anything about relationships of any sort, Golden, you’ve got another thing coming.

[Smoke Mirrors]

”Ok then. You know what, sorry to waste your time. I’ll go with the bundle of roses, thank you.”

[The Ensorceler]

"I would like to report an attack on a human, please. There may have been a number of deaths, but the bodies disappeared before I could locate guards such as yourselves." Archer describes the events of last night, and attempts to warn the guards that future Servant activity could threaten large portions of the city if nothing was done.

"Don't worry, it's my job! One dozen roses coming up!"

She hands you the bouquet she had picked up earlier, and your fetch quest reaches its completion!

The police officers nod their heads with grim looks on their face, the center officer taking notes on some kind of pad. Each records your testimony on their body cameras, remaining otherwise silent until you complete your statement. Many of the nearby gawkers turn to you instead of the sky, also often taking pictures and recordings on their own devices.

As you finish, the center officer speaks up.

"I see....Thank you, sir. We would like to take you to the station for further questioning. If you don't have your own car, you can hop in the front of this one."

He taps the roof of the vehicle the three officers are standing next to.

After having payed and walked away from the flower shop, Berserker turned to his master.
”Ok, we’ve got wine, flowers, chocolate, and spices. Now we just need a crowd.”

[The Ensorceler]

"A wise course." Archer enters the vehicle as requested, happy to help the city.

"A wise course." Archer enters the vehicle as requested, happy to help the city.

Archer:

You enter the vehicle and are taken to a fairly plane-looking building, catching the tale end of lunch hour traffic. It isn't quite what you expected from a guard post, a simple square building without any particularly advanced defenses. An American flag flies out in front, waving in the clear sky. Next to the flagpole sits a rock announcing that this location is the police department, with various arrows pointing to where you should park for various things. To the right of the building from the entrance is an empty field, to the left a shipping office. You are brought to the back parking lot, behind which is some kind of impound lot or junk storage. Several cars sit next to piles of dirt with no clear purpose.

You are escorted into the back of the building by a single officer. The door is locked with security cameras angled toward it, but it is otherwise unguarded. The officer fumbles around with keys a moment before finding the right one and negating this security feature. After a short hallway, you're lead to a simply-furnished room with a solid door. Inside is a desk with two chairs, a lamp, and a recording device. Your escort motions for you to enter and sit.

"We have to review your current testimony and fill out some paperwork before we can question you further. Please wait here sir, someone will be with you in a moment.

Archer's Master:

After presumably explaining the situation to your siblings, you return to your normal school day. Soon after, this normal day is interrupted by two police officers entering your classroom door during the middle of lecture. They they immediately walk to the middle of the room, stopping next to your concerned-looking teacher.

"We need Faye Eleri for questioning. She isn't in trouble, she isn't a suspect."

This simple explanation was all the teacher got. The officers then walked over towards your seat without a second thought.

"Come with us, miss."

[Lenglon]

"Huh? Um, okay."
This is likely a trap, but my identity isn't blown yet. I come quietly, but am understandably alarmed and alert to my surroundings.
((What the fuck Ensorcelor? I've been working hard to keep my identity hidden and you pull THIS? Do you even realize how important knowing your enemy's identity is?))
