Hada Iriko
Hada was shocked still but he stood up and said, "Its nice to meet you Rider. But to tell you the truth I wasn't afraid of you, i was shocked that i summoned you was all." He then looked at him and continue to say, "At least you did come so you can help me out. Oh, can you tell me what this symbol and what its part of at least Rider?" He asked politely about the situation he got himself into, but he was happy to see a man from a legend in front of him to assist him in it.

Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Rider narrowed his eyes at Hada. "Surely, you jest? You call an Epic Hero to aid you in the Grail War, yet you know nothing of Command Spells?! Have I been summoned by an incompetent?!" he roared, slamming his gauntleted arm into a nearby shelf, breaking it. Regaining some composure, he crossed his arms once more, but his tone was still very irritated. "If you are truly ignorant, that is your Command Seal. Should you require, you may force me, your Servant, to accept and accommodate 3 Absolute Orders of your choice. However..." he stated, pointing to the Seal. "Once all three are gone, you no longer qualify as my Master, and lose your rights in the Grail War." he stated to Hada, sighing to himself. "Have you any more questions for me, or do you actually know something about this Grail War?" he asked, his tone becoming sharper as he spoke the word "more". Obviously, he had rathered a Master who knew what they were doing.

Hada Iriko
Hada was in shock and said, "The Holy Grail Wars?!, oh man i apologies for not knowing about the command seals. I didn't know the command seals were given to the masters part of the war." He then showed him his seals and continued, "When this first showed up, me nor my parents knew about it. But man this is amazing, i was chosen by the grail to be part of the greatest war to be fought, i better get working on how to support you." He then left with a smile on his face to his room to start making elixirs to help Rider out.

Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Rider's eyes shifted from agitation to stunned curiosity. As Hada left the basement room, Gustavus pondered. 'Just what sort of man is this Master?' he thought, walking up after him. Entering the room where his Master was preparing some sort of Alchemic concoction, Rider stopped in the door. "Does the thought of War truly appeal to you so?" he asked, his voice having been completely drained of irritation. Now, his voice was that of discouraged curiosity. Rider had indeed come to this War for a purpose, but that was not to enjoy it. Was his Master truly one who found pleasure in War? Even if he was, Rider couldn't abandon this man. As a King, Rider had a responsibility to see this through, provided his Master did nothing against his Code of Honor.

Hada Iriko
Hada want to remove the confusion on Rider and said, "Oh, the war I don't like, its that i am helping a servant, a hero from the past, to fight in it for a wish you want. I don't know my wish or reason in this war, but if i'm going to be part of it, i better be prepared for who and whatever comes at me." He then continued to work on making the elixers so he have them for emergencies to help Rider in his battles.
Layfon Alseif and Saber
Layfon was happy to finally see a servant, but he was sad on the situation and said, "I have to go somewhere for a bit, is it ok for you to come along Saber." Saber was confused on his choice and followed him out of the basement to see two people dead and said hastily, "Why are there dead bodies in your home Layfon, its distorts my vision of beauty." Layfon tried not to cry and said, "They were my parents, they were murdered right when i got home, ill tell you more when we go to the police station to report what happened here." Saber was surprised to hear hat the corpses of people in the home were his parents and the fact they were murdered, she then said, "I'm sorry about my rudeness to the passing of your parents." Layfon then said, "Its hard for me right now, but first we have to get to the police station so i can report it." He then went to the closet and pulled out two coats and tossed one to saber and said, "It's cold outside, so i want you to be warm. that was my mom's jacket but I hope it keeps you warm." Saber was surprised that the color of the jacket was close to her own clothing but thought, "I could go Ethereal form, but he is being nice to let me have this." She then said, "Ok, thank you." but she started to smile to see him with a serious face and still can show his kindness with it.

Hatsumi Keinichi
The sound of wooden chopsticks clinked faintly against the porcelain bowl Hatsumi had been silently consuming her warm Udon out of. Across from her at the table was a vacant cushion, as always. The young lady could not remember the last time she had eaten and carried a little conversation with someone whilst at the dinner table. Rising from her fluffed cushion, Hatsumi smoothed out her faintly wrinkled skirt and lifted her empty bowl and dirtied chopsticks from the table, placing them in the kitchen sink to be washed later on. She decided she would wash the few dirtied dishes later that night. As if she had anything better to do anyways. Hatsumi exited the kitchen to make her way down one of the long, narrow hallways that would guide her in the direction of her study. Countless upon countless of books were stacked and lined up along the tall bookshelves that engulfed the walls of the study.
Once she approached her desk, Hatsumi lifted one of the thick textbooks and seated herself in her normal spot on the windowsill where she could not only enjoy her book, but glimpse at the sight of the pouring rain whenever she wished. Carefully, the white haired girl opened the worn book. The moment she did, what appeared to be an envelope slid out of the crease on the page she had left off on and landed gracefully upon her lap. Curious, Hatsumi gently lowered the heavy book near her feet and grasped the pale toned envelope. Nothing but a certain marking, or emblem, had been printed upon the front and back of the envelope, only spiking Hatsumi's curiosity. She would carefully run her index finger along the opening and removed a folded up piece of parchment. A heavy piece as a matter of fact.
She unfolded the parchment and glanced to her lap once more as a small stone landed on her laced skirt. With one hand, she picked up the smooth stone to examine it closely, noticing the same emblem that was printed on the envelope had been carved into the stone. "Hm..." She murmured, turning back to the parchment that was grasped in her other hand. Her eyes began to scan each word that was presented to her, taking in every bit of information that she could. She may have been a book worm...and yet, nothing on the parchment made much sense to her. Holy Grail War? Sun Stone? Such words sounded so foreign to Hatsumi. However, the more she read, she would suddenly tilt her head when given what seemed to be instructions. Having been beyond curious by then, Hatsumi would do as told on the parchment. She kept the Sun Stone held in her pale hand at all times while drawing out the exact same emblem that was engraved on the stone and envelope, thankful she had been able to locate some chalk.
Once she was finished drawing out the large emblem, she lifted the parchment again and glanced at the final steps. "...Read the chant provided aloud while standing in the center of the emblem...two droplets of blood must be provided by the Master." Master? What on earth was Hatsumi even getting herself into? She exhaled quietly and approached the center of the emblem on the wooden floor of her study. She had made sure to grab a knife, which she kept on her desk to open letters with, and opened the hand that held the Sun Stone. With her free hand, having held the parchment in her mouth, she closed her eyes as she ran the sharp blade along her palm.
A thin ribbon of crimson would suddenly grace her palm, contrasting beautifully against her pale skin. Hatsumi then grasped the Sun Stone again with her now bloodied palm and placed the knife aside before holding the parchment again to begin reading off the chant provided to her:
"Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone. The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg.
The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.
Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill).
Repeat every five times.
Simply, shatter once filled.
――――I announce.
Your self is under me, my fate(doom) is in your sword.
In accordance with the resort of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.
Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead.
You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――!" Hatsumi called out softly, her voice like velvet and soft whisper towards the end of the chant.
Droplets of blood would then fall from her hand that held the Sun Stone tightly, landing in the center of the emblem and staining the white chalk. Once more, Hatsumi exhaled slowly and almost breathlessly whilethe hand that held the parchment quivered. Such an overwhelming sensation drilled into her mind just then, her glasses even close to sliding off her face completely to reveal her sapphire blue eyes.It may have been gray outside, but only light was revealed to Hatsumi's eyes at that moment.

Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Rider heard his Master's reasoning for his seeming excitement. The thought of aiding someone famous hadn't really occurred to Rider. Turning from his Master to leave, he stopped, and glanced back at Hada. "Not even this should be something for you to be excited over. To risk your life without reason is no different than throwing it away in the first place." he stated, before fading to ethereal before Hada could respond. Gustavus was still around, but for now, it was time to wait. With the Summoning of himself, no doubt the other Servants weren't far off. Or maybe they had already been summoned? An interesting, and unsettling predicament and quandary.
Lancer
Karna, Son of the Sun Deity
Light engulfed Hatsumi's room, becoming so bright it would pain her to even look upon it. but what she couldn't see was the shape that light was taking. The form of a tall man began materialized within the brightness. Loud crackling resounded as the light seemed to fade. It wasn't truly fading, rather it began morphing into a woven armor that adorned the man's body. As the summoning finished, the man's form became apparent, though his armor still gave him a sort of ephemeral glow. "I am the Servant, whom you have requested. I take it you are my Master?" he asked Hatsumi, remaining motionless. Just at a glance, he knew what kind of person she was: A kind and pleasant young woman, hiding under the guise of the lone wolf to distance from others. 'I believe the modern era would call that the Porcupine's dilemma, perhaps?' he pondered to himself.

Hatsumi Keinichi
Hatsumi stumbled backwards as she placed her arms over her face to shield her eyes from the painful, nearly blinding light. She kept her eyes closed tightly, though would lower her arms slowly once the light had diminished. The sight of the tall, young man clad in armor made her body tense in caution, keeping her arms glued to her sides. "...A-Ah...yes." Hatsumi responded cautiously, swallowing silently before growing calm yet again. "My name is Hatsumi. Hatsumi Keinichi." The white haired girl introduced herself, scanning the man's figure slowly up and down. She blinked when noticing her glasses had no longer been seated upon the bridge of her nose, scanning the area near her for them. A wave of relief suddenly flooded her when spotting the black rimmed glasses near her feet, leaning down to pick them up and place them over her eyes once again. "A-And...you are?" She questioned the Servant curiously, grasping her arm and kneading the material of her sleeve when she met the young man's eyes.

Lancer
Karna, Son of the Sun Deity
Lancer awaited Hatsumi to find her glasses, saying nothing. After all, she hadn't asked for his assistance in finding them. When she asked his name, he noted that she was looking him over as well. "I am the Servant Lancer, come to answer your summons, and serve you in this Holy Grail War." he explained, giving no real indication of who he was. Like most Servants, he assumed she knew who he was already, as she had used an artifact for his summoning. Although, she didn't seem to him like the type to enter a war, so as for if she actually did know him or not, was rather ambiguous at this point.

Hatsumi Keinichi
Hatsumi couldn't help but stare in awe up at the Servant when he'd given her his title. She blinked to snap herself back into reality and glimpsed at the parchment in her hand once again. "Lancer..." She breathed, scanning the words along the parchment once more. As she slowly lowered the parchment to stare up at the Servant again, her lips parted slightly. "This...Holy Grail War...I understand you're a Servant and I as your 'Master', but, what reason do you have to fight in this war?" She questioned him, choosing her words carefully around the Servant. She shifted her weight from one foot to another after lowering the parchment on her desk, her arms folded casually over her chest as well.

Hada Iriko
Hada was surprised to hear that, but before he was able to respond to it, Rider disappeared but still have to say it, "Even if i don't have a goal, i can at least help the others if their goals are more worth fighting for if they are in the right." After he said that, he got a couple of veil's out to put the elixir in once it was done being made.

Lancer
Karna, Son of the Sun Deity
Lancer tilted his head slightly. "Reason?" he asked, seeming to ponder on the concept. "I haven't a reason. I am merely here to fight under your command, as you are my newfound Master." he stated to her, motioning to her for light emphasis. Crossing his arms once more, he looked around the room, noting it's design, structure, and everything in it. "An interesting abode." he commented, before turning back to Hatsumi. "Ah, I'm afraid it has slipped my mind. What was your wish for the Grail, Master Hatsumi? And were you also curious of my True Identity?" he paused a moment to ask, and awaited her Answer. He was curious about his Masters motives for being in the Grail War, and she seemed content with the answered title of "Lancer" but it was still a subject he no doubt knew she was wondering about: Who had she summoned? After all, it wasn't every day a person suddenly appeared in ones room, adorned with ancient golden armor, declaring your mastership over them.
Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Rider heard his Masters words, and closed his eyes. Fighting for another's cause? An interesting notion. But Fighting in the Grail War opposed that idea. To win, you had to smash your pathway through the dreams, desires, and wishes of all other Masters. He moved off to the Living Room to calm his mind, and think on what was to come. 'The next step is to determine who my Enemies are. The Seven Servant Classes. I know I am the Rider Class, leaving 6.' he thought to himself, rubbing his chin in thought. 'The greatest threats are the enemies we do not know... Thus the Assassin and Caster Classes are going to have to be Top Priority. The Knight Classes should follow, as they are deemed the best of the 7 Classes. Archer should be found out before Saber and Lancer... Which just leaves the Berserker for last.' he thought out to himself. Standing from his train of thought, he glanced outside at the heavy rainfall. It was definitely going to be an interesting Grail War...
Rai Arisawa
Master of Berserker
Rai's eyes slowly opened. Where was he? The blurriness of his vision slowly faded, and he realized he was laying on a sofa in someone's living room. What had happened? Sitting up, it slowly began to come back to him. 'That must be it... I passed out...' he thought, looking around. It wasn't much of a living room. Rather, it appeared to be a small apartment. "You're awake, eh?" a voice said, causing Rai to turn. A man stood in a doorway smiling at him. "I saw you unconscious in an alleyway. You alright?" he asked, the smile fading to be exchanged with concern. Rai glanced downward to avoid his gaze. "Y-Yeah." he replied, stuttering slightly. The man nodded. "Well, let's get you something to eat, then talk about what happened, alright?" the man asked, walking on towards the kitchen. He never saw it coming.
Within a few short seconds, Rai had gotten up and gotten behind the man silently. In one swift motion, the man shortly realized a pain puncturing his back, before falling over in the next moment, dead. Dropping the knife Rai had held onto since he'd taken it from his home, he staggered back and fell, realizing what he'd done. His thoughts reeled. 'Oh God... I killed him... I... This is... No! No, I had to. To keep myself hidden away, and to have any chance... But... Am I just trying to justify Murder?! But, if I don't... No, I have to. In order for this Grail thing to work, I have to kill. For her sake...' he thought, getting up again. Seeing the blood trailing on the floor, he nodded. This was where he'd Summon his Servant. And this was where he'd hide out for the entire Grail War.

Hatsumi Keinichi
Hatsumi simply blinked in return to the Servant the more he spoke to her. Fight under her command? As if she knew how to fight! However, she scratched the back of her head when questions would be thrown her way, the girl swallowing silently. "Ah, my...wish?" She questioned him in return, her tone coated with caution. Her arms remained folded while more thoughts would engulf her. A wish? What was that supposed to mean? If Hatsumi could wish for anything, it would be to have a life better than the one she was currently living. She kept her mouth shut though when it came to such a response and merely kept her thoughts to herself.
"Well, as for your true identity, yes, I am rather curious about that.It's not every day a stranger claiming to be a Servant appears in my study." She replied, viewing him up and down slowly once again. His golden armor was what caught her attention the most for the time being, besides his face. Hatsumi almost considered this Servant wealthy and was practically able to see her reflection in his armor. "Stay focused." She told herself, her eyes returning to Lancer's face and awaiting his response.

Lancer
Karna, Son of the Sun Deity
Noting Hatsumi's stammer, facial expressions, and heavy pause, it was obvious that she had dodged his question about a Wish. Perhaps she didn't have one? Or maybe it was one that was too embarrassing to make known. Either way, Karna didn't pry farther. "Very well, if you wish to know my Identity, I shall inform you. I am the Legendary Hero, Karna of India. Son of Indra and Kunti." he stated to her. His skill Uncrowned Martial Arts was unveiled from her eyes, and his skills could be seen for what they were, but only to her as only she knew his Identity. He noticed her glances towards his armor, but said nothing as Hatsumi had not asked about it, so he felt no obligation to say anything about it.

Hatsumi Keinichi
Hatsumi was about to speak again, her lips parting slowly, though she would find herself slowly closing her mouth. It was as if she couldn't formulate any words to fall from her after this Servant known as Karna introduced himself to her. She nodded her head up and down slowly and still remained a bit cautious, even though she was considered his so called Master.
"Karna..." She repeated the name quietly to herself, her interest merely growing at a rapid pace. Her attention suddenly transferred back to the Sun Stone grasped in her hand when a thought had struck her. She opened her hand slowly to reveal the stone to Karna, ignoring the hints of blood that stained it. Curiously, she met the Servant's eyes again before speaking. "So then...this Sun Stone, I take it I'll need it with me at all times." The girl mused, wiping another thin ribbon of blood off her palm.
