Current Events
In the morning Fujimura says most of the students are fine and school is happening just like I heard.  She has to the hospital to check on things again while I head to school.

At school Tohsaka gets straight to the point.  I pull her away from the front gate and we speak more in-depth in private.  Tohsaka is obviously suspicious of Issei, since he's the only student who comes from the Ryudou Temple, being Issei Ryudou you know.  I have the feeling Issei is innocent though and want to check for myself instead of Tohsaka going to kill him.

---

My suspicion is Ayako.

"OI ISSEI, OMAE MASUTAA NE???"
After some arguing we decide that I'll check him myself.

So...

During lunch break I tell him to strip down (so I can see any Command Spell on him)


And I proceed to INTRUDE ISSEI yeeeeeaaaah

After some stripping I don't find any Command Spells on Issei.  Completely perplexed Issei asks if I need anything else.  I question if anything odd has been going on in Ryudou Temple, which Issei says there's this lady here, like usual.

In a bright moment of insight I decide to ask him if he can give me anymore information.  After pretty much confirming that that lady is Caster, Issei gets mind-controlled, stabs me, and then stabs himself in the neck with a concealed knife.  We both bleed to death on the student council floor.




No wait, that's stupid.  I pretty much know that lady is Caster and I don't want Issei to get suspicious of this lady and get involved too since he's not even a Master or anything.  Before heading back Issei tells me Sakura and Shinji are both absent from school.  I hope they're okay.  ;_;

INTERLUDE 8-1

We see Shinji crash into the church's doors.  He looks around gasping and spots Kotomine.  Shinji absolutely hates himself right now but he asks for protection at the church.  He curses his bad luck and curses his "shitty Rider" who managed to die quickly.

Shinji starts to yell KUSO KUSO KUSO KUSO KUSO over and over as he bangs on the ground, very angry and bitter.  Kotomine places his hand on Shinji's shoulder and tells him he has a free Servant he could give to him...

INTERLUDE OUT

School ends and Shirou can't find Tohsaka anywhere.  I decide to head home and call her.  I tell her about Issei being innocent but she sounds really distant and uninterested.  After some talking Tohsaka hangs up the phone on me.  I have dinner with Fujimura and Saber before heading to bed.  And falling asleep zzzzzzz

Now I want to know what the hell Ayako and Sakura are up to.  They are so mysterious all the time man.

Off to school, off to school.  Or I would be, but after seeing Fujimura off I decide to spar with Saber instead for an hour.  My reaction skills have gotten better over four days but nothing to write home about.  I get to school an hour late in time for the first break period.  In my class Shinji suddenly comes up behind me and tries to act friendly.  That doesn't late long though as I insult him and he breaks his facade yelling at me.  Apparently he's sticking me with Tohsaka now so I'm guessing he knows we're working together.  Class begins again and we skip all the boring stuff until lunch period.
During lunch I hear my other male classmates making a commotion in the corner.

Gotou-kun is probably the first character to be named who does not have a sprite.  Congratulations Gotou.  Anyway, apparently Tohsaka is eyeing the classroom so I go outside and confront her and we decide to talk on the roof and skip a period of school! 

After some awkward romantic tension we're about to head back downstairs when WEEE WWOOOO WEEEE WOOOO DRAMATIC DEATH CIRCLE ACTIVATED the sky turns red and Shinji's fucking magic barrier activates two days earlier than "last time".  We run down to the nearest classroom to see everybody unconscious and being soul sucked.  Some of them are even having their skin melt like last time.  Pissed off, I use my second(!) Command Spell to summon Saber.  We decided that Tohsaka and I will head to the source of the barrier on the first floor while Saber attacks the Servant on the fourth floor with us.
We dash out to find fucking skeletons everywhere.  Caster's damn skeletons.  Saber slices and dices them up as we run by and head downstairs, on the way I duel wield some chairlegkind and beat the hell out of a few skeletons as Tohsaka blows some up with a Topaz jewel.  We run into the source of the barrier only to find hell.
The bodies in this room are much worse, they don't have look alive at all.  Tohsaka stares speechlessly and notices a cowering man hiding under a desk.

Shinji.



Shinji is flipping the fuck out right now.  Unlike "last time" Shinji has no gog damn clue what's going on and retreats in fear from Tohsaka who's angrily shouting at him.

After that comment I look down at the dead Servant Rider, her throat completely cut open.  It looks like Caster attacked Rider so Shinji activated the magic barrier in a panic, much earlier than he has ever done.  Shinji yells in terror for a bit before dashing out the door to an unknown fate (I hope he's okay ;_;).  Since Rider is dead the magic barrier disappears it's suddenly a lot calmer.  All the skeletons are gone, so the two of us meet up with Saber to find out the news.  Apparently the Servant on the fourth floor was Caster, but when Saber sliced her she disappeared like an illusion.  My guess is Caster did all that magic from the damn Ryudou Temple and just made a faux version of herself.
Earlier the two of us contacted the police and ambulance so everybody will be fine hopefully.  Tohsaka says Kirei will take care of everything and the three of us head through the back into the woods.  There we run into a late Archer and Tohsaka yells at him.  Some hijinxs occur and we decide we need to find Caster's Master, who is definitely at our school.  He may have been brainwashed by Caster and is just a Master puppet not even knowing what is going on.  My two guess are either Issei or Ayako.  The reasoning being because both have been acting suspiciously and both are missing from the epilogue of the first playthrough...Caster say she killed her Master in the first playthrough.  Our two groups part and I head home with Saber for some dinner.  Fujimura isn't home tonight because she's busy sorting the school problem.  Apparently school will still be going on tomorrow so the two of us will be looking for Caster's Master tomorrow.  I hope Shinji, Issei, and Ayako are okay.  ;_;

The incident at the school went a lot better this time around.  Instead of the whole school being hospitalized only a dozen or so students are in the hospital and the rest are fairing a ton better, enough for school to happen even.  Rider is also the first servant to die again, oh well.
