[Elf]

Forest

Forest smiled at the look Lancer was giving her, realizing it had been too long since she'd gotten such a look.  Then she tilted her head and said, "Well, follow me then."

The blond turned, gracefully pivoting on her heel, and lead him towards the garage.

[Puck-Chan]

Cu Chulainn

Forest

Forest smiled at the look Lancer was giving her, realizing it had been too long since she'd gotten such a look.  Then she tilted her head and said, "Well, follow me then."

The blond turned, gracefully pivoting on her heel, and lead him towards the garage.

"Aye. It's about time."

He lifted himself from the wall to level himself flat onto his feet. As she turned to start walking, so did Cu. The way how confidently she held herself with the shapely rear facing towards him caused him to smile even deeper. Like a dog led by a leash.

[Elf]

Forest

As she walked Lancer to the garage she frowned and looked at him.  "You know, I have no idea where to bloody find him.  I mean, he's the sort once you see him you wouldn't forget him, but knocking my fists on some lowlifes to get them to talk would take a lot of time.  It would be fun though."

She toyed with the charm on her choker and mused, "He's also moonlighting as a vampire hunter and Van Helsings aren't looked too fondly in the leech community."  She tilted her head and asked with a grin, "Got any ideas where to start?"

[Puck-Chan]

While Lancer continued to enjoy the view as he could, the sudden movement of her hips gave him a dead sign that she was looking back at him. He promptly looked up, innocently pretending that he hasn't been looking this whole time.

"Well that's one helluva annoyance we're in," he remarked with an equal frown matching the vampire's, "But ruining degenerates can be a good start for one."

She toyed with the charm on her choker and mused, "He's also moonlighting as a vampire hunter and Van Helsings aren't looked too fondly in the leech community."  She tilted her head and asked with a grin, "Got any ideas where to start?"

"Well, what do you know about him other than being an unwanted vigilante? We can begin there." 

[Elf]

Forest

Forest found herself grinning as she realized he'd been watching her walk the entire time and had to jerk his eyes to her face.  One eyebrow raised as he said with a frown, "Well that's one helluva annoyance we're in, but ruining degenerates can be a good start for one."

Then he asked, "Well, what do you know about him other than being an unwanted vigilante? We can begin there."

Forest folded her arms across her chest and answered, "His name's Emiya Shirou.  He's Japanese and a magic user.  He . . . the best way I can describe him is 'calico'.  His hair is white and red, and his skin is molted dark and light.  He also has one gray eye and one golden one.  He's a bit of a repressed wanker too, if his reaction to my bite was any indication.  Oh, yeah, he can summon swords out of mid-air and make them explode."

[Puck-Chan]

Cu Chulainn

He stared at her as she voiced the familiar name from that Grail War. His eyes were wide as his scarlet focused on her with confused intensity. It was one thing if it was that boy from that time. But that does not sound like him. No, he sounds more like that grouchy Archer who was able to block his mighty throw with his rosy layers of a shield.

"Oh this is great. This keeps getting weirder and weirder," he groaned, "Yeah. I think I know him. But he definitely sounds a whole lot different than I last seen him and now he looks like Archer--"

Something was clicking in. While his era never had any focus in mathematics, he certainly can put one and one together. He snorted and then sighed.

"So that's how it is," he grimly thought to himself.

It somehow made sense now why he kept betraying them in the War. He looked back at Forest and then nodded. 

"We'll want to see what Archer knows about this. Ya know where he's gonna be hangin' out at?"

[Elf]

Forest

Forest winched at the mention of Archer, twiddled her index fingers together, looked away and said, "I really don't think that's a good idea because Archer's the one who wants to kill him.  Some retro-active suicide wish or whatnot.  Even though time travel really doesn't work that way, but let him be a stubborn get."

She could practically hear the gears in Lancer's head turning as he put one and one together and she nodded.  "That train of thought?  Its not wrong.  That's why Archer was so hot to contract with Law, so he could go kill . . . himself."

Cu nodded in agreement. This was making sense, at least a little for now.

"Then let's keep tabs on Archer. Wherever he's going, we'll find Calico."

[Elf]

Forest

The blond nodded and said, "If Law's staying with Abigail, I could probably find her address.  Even though she's born in this age, she's still half Fae and not very tech savy.  If push comes to shove we could just go to her place and wait it out and make sure Archer doesn't do anything stupid."

[Puck-Chan]

Cu Chulainn

"Alright. That sounds good. Then what can I do at this point?" he asked. Other than spearing people through with the bloodthirsty pole, there really isn't much that Cu could figure out on how else he could contribute.

[Elf]

Forest

"Well, you could come with me.  Keep me company?  Shirou had me on the ropes, and if Archer is him perfected then I really don't want to get into a fight with him," Forest replied.

It was one of the reasons she stayed close to Wynn.  When outclassed you ask for the biggest, scariest backup you could think of.  Plus, admittedly, she did want him to keep her company.

Cu chuckled darkly at this. So they might have their re-bout after all. The scarlet spear against the married snowy and eclipsed blades. This time, someone is going to die between them. He nodded.

"That's all? Sure, I'll tag along, lass."

[Elf]

Forest

Forest nodded and replied, "Well, in my experience when I'm about to go against someone who can curb stomp me I find its best to bring back up.  And what backup is better than a Celtic Epic Hero, right?  Plus, if Shirou tries to shoot me in the bloody back you can run his face into your fist."

[Kat]

[Since I follow YOLF's proposal (And Dan's which happened before Elf and Magos posted), I will post according to it)

Mordred

Mordred felt that someone cupped her face with hands. Whoever tried to assault her from behind probably didn't know
that she was actually a talented member of Summer Courts even if she was out of her league her in Nexus. She grabbed Emily's hand reflexively, stopping the other Changeling with her superior strength. "Explain yourself before I lose my patience. I will start counting."

[Panda]

Emily

In hindsight, Emily noted that she probably should've taken into account that, distracted or not, Mordred was actually a fighter while most certainly was not. The Changeling's grip was just short of painful, but Emily stared back at her resolutely regardless.

"I'm trying to make sure we don't end up easy pickings for whoever attacked us earlier," Emily stated, "Maybe you had a run-in with some Kindred back before you got here, but we have no way of knowing that vampires here are the same as vampires there. Think for a moment, if this place has Changelings who haven't even gone through a Durance, Changelings who didn't even come around the same way we did, think of what other differences there could be! That aside, I'm not looking forward to meeting a vampire either, but unless she keeps regular correspondence with these two here, chances are that we won't even have to bother with her. Now if you're going to go out at night hunting vampires, I can't really help you there, but can you please focus on the immediate concerns? Like whatever shady group that one bitch who beat the hell out of belonged to, assuming she was part of one?"
