You are Anon, a 6’2” albino man of exceptional strength and magical energy who can remember only faint vestiges of his past, is unaware of his real name, and is a Master in the Akeldama Great Holy Grail War, which is taking place in a city in an artificial world called Akeldama. Your Servant is Avenger of Red, a winged girl wielding considerably powerful magic who has declined to tell you her true name so far. Most recently you’ve had an unexpected encounter with the Magic Goddess Hecate, who temporarily took over Avenger’s Spirit Origin to manifest herself while your Servant was unconscious. The Goddess tricked you into swearing yourself to secrecy before presenting you with a plethora of revelations that shed some light on the context of the Holy Grail War and your identity, assuming she spoke truly. After that you sparred with Lancer of Red long enough to aggravate a wound in your stomach, but you discovered a couple more uses of the abilities you already had in the process. Your match against her also awakened something in your blood, or perhaps in your spirit, developing a modicum of Divinity, though you’ve kept that fact to yourself so far.

And I’m largely satisfied with how it turned out.” You reply as you steady your breathing after your match against Lancer of Red. The pain aside, you feel something about you has changed from between when you started the sparring match to now. After clashing your strength, speed, and skill against the Lancer’s for as long as you did, you learned a couple new uses for your abilities, but more than that, it’s as though the blood that flows in your veins acquired a new quality.

“Just to make sure I understand, you were making a scene at a vampire costume-party with that wight and two guys named Jester Karture and Eugene Messerschmidt right before you appeared in the Akeldama world, with the three of them?” Sophia asked as she gestured toward the armor-clad wight. Kuro no Berserker had brought her a couple kilometers away from the site where they met, let her into an office building adjacent to a subway station, and been seated in a conference room with the female Dead Apostle Rusalka Illyuzii, Kuro no Berserker, another Servant who was a heavily-built man with bandaging on his foot, a girl who seemed to be trying to quietly hide behind the injured Servant, and the wight.
“More or less.” Rusalka replied cheerily as she adjusted the collar of her Schutzstaffel uniform, “Lord Vandelstam’s conventions are always amusing events, and the theme of this one was to wear something that you picked up from the world of humans that has a bit of sentimental value.”
“And yours was that you worked for the SS?” Sophia asked incredulously, “Did they offer you as much Jewish blood as you wanted to drink or something?”
“Haha! Would it bother you if they did?” Rusalka laughed as she poured herself a glass of wine from a bottle that she’d placed on the table earlier, “Are real or imagined atrocities from the middle of the twentieth century a sore spot for you?”
“I guess not.” Sophia answered as Rusalka began sipping the wine, “The woman who inhabited this body before me would have cared, but I don’t see much point in getting invested in wars between humans, past or present. Though I am curious what made you step in on Hitler’s side. Your name sounds Russian, if anything.”
Kuro no Berserker moved her gaze toward Rusalka, and their eyes met knowingly for a moment before Rusalka answered Sophia, “You’re new to this, so I’ll explain some things that would otherwise be obvious. First, war is generally a lovely pretext for Dead Apostles to fill up on blood when a large number of disappearances won’t face the same kind of investigation that they normally would. That wasn’t my primary motivation, simply something you should know for the future. Second, existential boredom is a common drawback of being an immortal creature, so when I find something interesting I latch onto it and take it as far as it goes.”
“And what was it about the cause of the German National Socialists that caught your eye?” Kuro no Berserker asked.

And at the center of it all was a man who could mobilize his entire nation with nigh-supernatural power. Herr Himmler also had a way with words, which sealed the deal for me to become one of his knights and march toward what fate ordained. Ah, those were the days…” Rusalka explained in a nostalgic reminiscence, before addressing Sophia more pointedly, “Though something else you said struck me as odd. Did you have a dissociative personality disorder when you were a human? Because the way you’re describing it makes it sound as though you consider yourself an entirely different entity from the woman, Jennifer Hill.”

Maybe that’ll chase them off and you can move past the interruption. > Confront the intruder directly, but offer them a chance to parley when you find them rather than attacking right away. > Confront the intruder and apprehend whoever it is on sight, they can talk all they want once you’ve captured them. > Something else (write-in)

Well while she may be joking the idea that we're from some Lovecraft nightmare realm is certainly a hypothesis.
I'm betting that's the truth to our nature LSAD QM’s phone

Unfortunately my PC konked out and it’s getting looked at tomorrow. Hopefully it was just a bugged OS update that has an easy fix.

>>5833621 Bad news, the hard drive was busted so I’m going to set back for a while. Data recovery may not be viable for how expensive it can get. I may just try to get a new PC from the black-Friday sales, mine was old anyway.

>>5836177 Oh that's right, you started your quest a few days ago. I commend you for your frequent update schedule.
Sadly a fair amount of my notes and plans went up in smoke since they were saved locally, but I may be able to get the next encounter started without accidentally creating a bunch of plot-inconsistencies.

"Let's go out and capture the intruder." You tell Avenger, "We'll get them to give a detailed explanation of their reasons for snooping around once they've been secured."> You'll close the distance, reel him in, and drag him into Caster's territory where you can begin questioning him without disturbance. > You'll hold him in place once you're close enough for Avenger to use her spell, and begin questioning him from the same position outside of Caster's territory. If he's not alone you may draw out his allies and learn more about whomever's been organizing this. > Avenger doesn't even need to reveal herself, you can handle the intruder yourself while she keeps watch on the off-chance other enemies may seek to intervene. > Something different (write-in)

Seems like the best option, if he's alone then great we got him if he's human and have back up in case he's a wight. If he has friends then we can lure them out and get all the more info

Avenger tugs at her conjured strings by twirling her staff, turning your captive around with an abrupt motion that causes the hood to fall back. What you see causes you to wince in revulsion. A blank, lifeless stare comes from the pale, mangled face that has an empty socket where its right eye should be, and more patches of flesh gnawed away than you’d care to count. It was an animated corpse all along, yet how did it speak coherently?> Let Avenger destroy the corpse and then return to Caster’s territory together > Try to go ‘blow for blow’ against the voice’s playful teasing to see if you can get the speaker to slip up and reveal useful information > Something else (write-in)

“Let’s be rid of it then.” You answer your Servant, “I don’t see a point in further dialogue.”
Low Speed Anti-Divine QM
“Would be convenient for us if he were, but you’re probably right.” Avenger sighs. This time you don’t find yourself in complete agreement with her sentiment, since you are grateful that Kuro no Archer was able to land the killing blow on the main body of Sun Wukong. Sure you’d have been more pleased to do it yourself, but his assistance was invaluable even if it was largely circumstantial.> Get properly healed up > Improve the knowledge of the magic you already know > Try out herb-lore > See what’s in Caster’s workshop and tinker with something if it catches your eye > No need to restrict yourself to the hotel, you’ll go on a walk around Caster’s territory; you remember hearing there were shrines in this area, you could take a look > Something different (write-in)

>>5846097 >>5847704 Kewl, now you won't need to worry about your wounds breaking open or causing problems anymore.
It will be a fairly time-consuming process in Avenger's case since her wound was inflicted by Athena too, so the next external development may occur before you'd have time to practice magic. I suppose you could make small talk about it during the healing process though.

“Now that we’re back, we should properly heal our wounds so we won’t risk them breaking open later.” You suggest to Avenger as the two of you enter the hotel’s lobby.

“And if they’re plotting against you?” She asks in a tone casual enough to nearly belie the sinister implication.

“People aren’t always perfectly rational.” She rebuts, “In fact, I might say that whoever’s been poking at us like this has abandoned all reason.”> “We’ll annihilate the enemy right away. Then there’s no chance of them hitting the hotel.” (Go up to the roof and have Avenger return fire once you have an idea of the enemy’s position) > “Avenger, let’s do what we can to fortify an area for our friends before returning fire.” > “This bombardment is a probing attack to provoke us.
