Well, my turn action will probably be depending on if we find anyone before the turn happens.

Otherwise: Stroll through town with Kira, protecting her and guiding her as she uses her magic to search for signs of other magi.

Subject to change.

Welp, everyone is here but our GM. Chatting about Pokel. (even Kuji, he said something about rubbing snake oil onto his stomach.)

I'm american, and only speak american. XD So yeah...

A light grunt is all the response Archer gets from Rahul gets from the interruption.
"Servants are stronger physically, but we are called masters because of the command seals."
He shows the red glyph on the back of his hand, and points out the similar one on her.
"With a thought and a mental focus on the seal we can force our servants to bend reality to suit our whims. You have three seals, if you loose them all your connection with your servant is lost. And then you are nothing more than a human bystander."
The magi sits down in a high backed chair, wishing he had some wine or tea.
"The servants attempt to return each other to the grail, as fuel for it's materialization. However, with the servants as strong as they are, the weak point in a Master/Servant relationship is obvious. Most will attempt to target and eliminate the weaker human part. Killing is likely easier, but the removal of the hand with the seals works as well, or if you convince the master to give up his or her command seals they can take themselves out of the battle of their own will."
Rahul stops and gazes at Kira silently for a moment.
"I hope you do not get any ideas. If you back away now you will be open and defenseless. I personally will not strike at you if you choose to walk away, but other magi may not be so forgiving. Even if a master loses his servant, or his command seals, there is always the chance they can contract with another servant who has remained after losing their master."
The man seems to pause as if considering something, but then shakes his head at himself.

Rahul scowls at the use of his first name, but says nothing. He turns to the servants as the girl leaves.
"I suggest you two de-materialize. Especially if you are feeling underpowered."
He says this last with a glimpse at Archer before turning and heading to the library himself.

He finds mostly what he expected, Kira is scanning shelves of old books, looking for books on 'the holy grail' , the crusades, and the Arthurian legend. It takes him only a moment to find a book on the theory of Sorcery, or the 'True Magics'. He offers it to Kira.
"This is what you want. The holy grail isn't a cup from the crusades, or a legend that holds the blood of the savior or whatever else nonsense in popular culture. It is the pure manifestation of the 3rd True Magic. It is the materialization of the soul, and the two servants we have summoned are the proof of such. The war itself is a ritual between 7 magi and seven servants to summon the grail. The remaining pair will have their wishes granted by the grail itself."
He pauses to make sure she is understanding how serious this all is.
"For whatever reason, the grail has deemed you worthy and sent a servant under your control. This means you must have at least some desire for the grail to grant you, yes? Myself, Lancer, and Archer too all have such wishes, as I imagine do the enemy Magi. To accomplish such wishes the other masters will fight, pitting servants powers against each other. As there can only be one pair left at the end, our own agreement is temporary at best, and why Lancer and Archer confronted each other so upon meeting."


He finishes his little speech with a warning.
"I do not know what sort of magic you use, but I advise you now, if you come up against a servant let Archer to the fighting directly. You will not stand a chance."

Servants can also just go ethreal too. XD

My action for the day/time? Will be to attempt to set up a simple alarm barrier around the manor. The sort used to alert Rahul or his companions, should anyone or anything enter un-invited.

yeeesh, waking up to 4 pages of ooc stuff and however much IC. wheee....

Let me go read through the ic stuff, then I'll see about getting a post up for rp at least.

I do not approve. Fumbling too much. 

*adopts rahul voice* "We cannot all be master magi..." Rahul proceeds to partake of the champagne in small regulated sips.
