Kotomine how could you die.

Caster is a lesbian.

Hmmm.

There is a problem there is a problem there is a problem there is a problem

Melancholy night.

Current Events

• Tohsaka and Archer eventually find Kuzuki and Caster at the church.  They've killed Kotomine and they're going to make the church their new base.  Saber is still resisting the Command Spell placed on her.
• Shirou wants to be useful so he heads to the church for advice from Kotomine when he stumbles upon this situation, he waits and spies on them at first.
• At the confrontation Archer decides it would be best if he switches sides so he betrays Tohsaka and lets Caster stab him with the zagger, breaking the contract between them.
• Tohsaka tries to flee but Mr. Kuzuki advances for a killing blow.  At this point Shirou jumps down from the stairs and projects Archer's swords yet again, blocking Kuzuki.  Caster walks foward to kill the two with Kuzuki however Archer stops Caster, saying it's distasteful to see the Master he just betrayed to be killed within less than five minutes.  Caster hesitates but then lets the two go because she's a nice lady?
• Shirou and Tohsaka flee and have some heartfelt words with each other.  They both then head back to Shirou's house to devise a strategy.  In the end they come up with trying to ally with another Master, Illyasviel.  It's the only chance they got.  They decide to try to negotiate with her tomorrow and head to bed for some much needed rest.

Thoughts
Man I was not expecting any of this.  In seems in the second route Caster becomes the new antagonist instead of Kotomine, seeing as he's most likely dead.  Now Archer betrays Tohsaka today, but I'm quite certain Archer will just be pulling a huge gambit.  Why else would he tell Caster to let us go?  He's obviously being cunning, if a bit cruel.  I kinda want to know what Assassin and Shinji/Gilgamesh are doing.  Since Kotomine is dead Gilgamesh should sense that.  Seeing Shinji, Illyasviel, Tohsaka, and Shirou working together with the Servants Gilgamesh, Berserker, and Assassin would be awesome.  Although I doubt that will happen...maybe.  I know Gilgamesh has feelings for Saber so he might help but then I wonder if it would be too easy?  I mean Gilgamesh can destroy most people with his Noble Phantasm powers.  He was the one to kill Caster last game thanks to the fact he ignored Kotomine and went out in town during the night.

Well whatever, awesome day is awesome.

In the first game, Caster said she killed her Master, however she was talking about the first Master she had, not Kuzuki.  Somehow, and I don't know how, Caster killed her first Master way too early in the second/this game.  Instead of gathering power from the people more and killing her first Master when she could actually support herself for some reason Caster kills her first Master much earlier than in the first game.  And because of this slip-up Caster wasn't given enough magical energy to sustain herself or even last through the night.  Because of that Caster is found by Kuzuki, who then forms a contract with her.  Kuzuki is actually her second Master in this messed up game.  That's cool.  Man even if Kuzuki is just an ordinary human he can still beat other Servants up.

I just can't see Caster betraying Kuzuki.  Unlike her first Master, Kuzuki is a much nicer person to her.
