*Hours before Tatsumi, Sayo, and Ieyasu found Ogre*
The three of us were now at the forest owned by the noble family we already started moving towards the main palace, Assassin had already assumed spirit form before we started moving.
Assassin : (I would recommend going after a more populated area and waiting until nightfall, it is a good thing it's sunset right now.)
Davis : (I would be inclined to agree, I also want to create civil unrest from this test and strike alone, thank goodness from Merlin's being here.) "Merlin we'll be doing more than testing out Asassin's capanilities today, so be prepared if I need you for anything magic wise."
Merlin: "Sure thing, I'll cast an illusion to make sure you won't be recognized out in public."
Davis : "Ah, right, I need to figure out if my stunt from some time back has put my face on the posters."
The three of us traveled the streets for a time. Over the course of our wandering I've seen a multitude of things that have disgusted me, which I chose to resolve some without too much trouble, such as scuffles in alleyways over chump change, assaults of different kinds against different people for different reasons, imperial guards taking bribes to look the other way, crucified individuals for petty crimes that never deserved crucifying, and much more. I had acquired nearly 4500 gold coins just from swiping from guards accepting bribes alone. To some high class noble here, that wouldn't amount to much, to me however that would be enough to buy the right food to keep an entire battalion of footsoldiers and a little extra for later; or, following my reality and ambitions, can feed districts worths of people who need food the most to make it through a harash winter, simply because foreign currency goes for high prices in the right places in Silvingar.
Besides thinking about the issues and what to improve on when the capital is conquered, I noticed that my face, nor Sayo or Ieyasu's faces have been put up on the posters at all, which was relieving to find.
Davis : (Hmm, that is a relief.) I thought sighing out in relief.
Assasin : (Something good happen?) Assasin asked.
Davis : (Yes, I thought I would be a wanted criminal throughout these parts along with two friends of mine, well either I had already destroyed the only logical evidence they could find, or-) I was about to finish my thoughts when I heard a rather entusiastic voice.
??? : "Captain I've been assigned the investigation with the recent attack on the Tefel family, if anything I believe it was Night Raid." An enthusiastic girl said, appearance wise she possesses Auburn colored hair and eyes and dragged a white dog on a leash with her.
??? : "While that may be the conclusion, don't jump to conclusions just yet, as for the job, good work on getting it, now go deliver justice to those that were responsible ya hear Seryu?" A gruff voice responded, a tall man with a black and red eye, resembling a demon, and a scar where his left eye should be and spoke with authority and respect for those who follow him.
Seryu : "Yes Captain Ogre!" Seryu responded enthusiastically with a salute.
Orge : "Alright, good hunting then." Orge said sending Seryu off.
Davis : (Well, look at that Assasin, we have someone to test your capabilities on and create civil unrest.)
Assassin : (Hmm, yes he does seem to look the part of putting up a good fight, shall we track him for the time being, Davis?)
Davis : (Yes, yes we should, this is very promising, and from his looks and uniform, he is a police captain feared by many innocent people and criminals alike, so if someone like him were to be killed-)
Assassin : (The result would be that people would rise up to challenge the same regime he worked for, or in this case took full advantage of, right?)
Davis : (Exactly right Assassin, now let's make sure this Ogre, doesn't escape our sight.) " Merlin, we are tailing that man there, make yourself scarce and go to one of the walls nesr the giant castle in the center, I have the best idea we'll meet tonight alright?"
Merlin : "Sure thing, I do look forward to the fun idea you have in mind."
Assassin : (Don't worry about finding Merlin. I'll be able to sense his presence so we won't have any trouble.)
Davis : (Good, now then to tracking this police captain.)
Eventually we stopped at a pub and from the look of things he visisted this particular pub....often....very often. Ogre looked around for a second and spotted a hunched over ugly man and walked over to him.
Ogre: "Gamal, has everything been squared away on your end?" Ogre started speaking as this Gamal is a friend.
Gamal : "Oh of course everything has been taken care of, a-and thank you once again for your help in the matter."
Ogre : "Ah, no problem if you need any help call on me anytime, hahaha." Ogre laughed and then he went inside to drink.
Assassin : (Seems we will be waiting, while we're waiting I have a question for you.)
Davis : (What's up?)
Assassin : (Do you know of Heroic Spirits?) Assassin asked.
Davis : (Not at all, Merlin told me I would be summoning servants which I believe are spirits, soooo I aslo haven't heard of Heroic Spirits at all.) I explained.
Assassin : (Hmm, I see, well Heroic Spirits are individuals who have made their mark on history, in my universe, reality?) Assassin trailed about
Davis : (Universe) I interjected.
Assassin : (Universe, thank you, in my universe individuals who have made history of any kind that has significantly changed human history causing humanity as a whole to evolve are recorded into a place called The Throne of Heroes, from there Heroic Spirirts are summoned to do battle in wars called Holy Grail Wars, though the circumstances here are much significantly different seeing as you summoned 7 of us.)
Davis : (Does your actual name have anything to do with Holy Grail Wars?)
Assasin: (Yes, very much so, revealing a Heroic Spirit's True Name is pivotal between life and death and the events moving forward should the True Name of a servant be revealed.)
Davis : (Pivotal to Life and Death, hmm. What is revealed when True Name is figured out?)
Assasssin : (Well, not only the identity of the servant, the different weapons and skills, and most notably their Noble Phantasm as well.) Assassin explained.
Davis : (Noble Phantasm?) This intrigued me fully yhe Concept of Noble Phantasm was for a lack of better words new to me.
Assassin : (Yes, a Noble Phantasm is a signature move or a weapon that defines either the legend, identity, or both legend and identity of the Heroic Spirit. So it is best not to use a Noble Phantasm early in a Holy Grail War setting. In this case you have both the power to let multiple servants use theirs to the fullest extent, and still be standing afterwards. So I say take the opportunity while it's presented to you.)
Davis : (Ah, speaking of circumstances, you and the others are the only servants that have been summoned at all, so you and the others don't have to worry about the importance of your True Names, plus, I can't keep calling you Assassin forever.)
Assassin : (Hmm, I will take you up on that offer and hold you to those words should this cause any trouble later. With that established, my True Name is Hassasn of the Cursed Arm.)
Davis : (Ohh, you don't mind if I call Cursed Arm casually?)
Cursed Arm : (That is fine.)
Davis : (Good.)
What followed was silence for a time, deep down I knew I should keep the names of my servants a secret from those I don't openly trust, not yet at least. We've kept quiet watching the bar until night, that is when Ogre finally walked out of the bar looking happy.
Davis : (Bingo, Cursed Arm, get-- oh, wait a second!) I said stopping the both of us as I see teo figures get up one cutting to an alleyway, the other, approaching Ogre and putting down his hood.
Cursed Arm : (What is, who is that?) Cursed Arm asked tilting his head.
Davis : (Looks like some friends have beat us to the punch, wait why are 'they' tailing Ogre, hmm. Cursed Arm lets see how this will play out. But, be ready to strike at a moments notice.)
Cursed Arm : (As you wish, Davis.) Cursed Arm replied relaxing his posture.
