Jojo's Bizarre Grail War Part 4 : A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> Hold up our phone.
> "It tracks its own location. I turned that function off, but with Lancer's network hacking abilities I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to get that information somehow."

>"Wait, he can do that?" says Archer. Then she pauses and frowns. "So. Does that mean he could find, say, Saber's master? Or Assassin's? Or even Berserker's?"

>_

[Stuffman]

> "Huh. I'll bet he could, but he would need their names first, and neither of us have seen them."

Actually, this is probably exactly why the masters haven't been introduced, even though I hadn't even considered it. I guess after doing so many games Purvis has hyperawareness of potential cheese strategies.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Huh. I'll bet he could, but he would need their names first, and neither of us have seen them."

>"I bet we could get Saber to say it, he doesn't seem like he's bothering with any kind of secrecy," Archer says, as she polishes off a sausage patty.

[Stuffman]

> "Oh, that's right, he said her name is Molly. We'd need a last name though."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Oh, that's right, he said her name is Molly. We'd need a last name though."

>Archer nods. "And there's a whole lot of those. We'll have to keep it in mind."

[Hello Purvis]

> How much do we know about Major League Baseball?
> Specifically, do we know anything about any association between Theodore Roosevelt and the Washington Nationals?

>Not a whole lot, but you have heard about that via internet, due to its amusingness.

[Stuffman]

I have no idea where Kilga is going with that but it is hilarious to know.

> Let's check our phone. Any responses yet?

[Kilgamayan]

I had no particular ideas for how to use that information. But it might be useful in embarrassing or agitating Saber somehow? It's not the most flattering thing, after all. The biggest advantage we have is that we know exactly who he is; might as well dig up whatever we can to see what helps.

[Hello Purvis]

> Let's check our phone. Any responses yet?

>There is a response from Sister Gibson. "I guess they are? Sorry, the resources I have on this aren't exactly clear. Looking back, apparently sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't? I think the three families who started the original mess probably are the ones who can keep them, most likely? I don't know yet, let me see if I can find more once I get other things cleared up."
>Lancer does not seem to have anything new to say.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Worry in what way?" says Archer.

>_

[Stuffman]

> "Oh, I mean about getting the master to surrender their seals after we kill the servant. I guess what happened to Georgia is normal."
> "It's just unusual for a Grail War to have all its participants not come from a big name family. I might have double checked with Eileen, but that's all."

>"Yeah, I bet she knew some stuff," says Archer. "Oh well."

[Stuffman]

> "Well, that's enough shop talk, this is supposed to be our victory breakfast."
> "What do you think? Are you a fan of the buffet concept?"

>"Why didn't we do this before?" says Archer.

[Stuffman]

> "Oh, since they have to make so much food sometimes the quality can be a little dodgy. It depends on the restaurant. This place is good, though."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Oh, since they have to make so much food sometimes the quality can be a little dodgy. It depends on the restaurant. This place is good, though."

>"I guess that makes sense," says Archer. "And I guess there's some things they don't have. But still, this place is like a challenge!"

>_

[Stuffman]

> "Oh! If it's a challenge you're after, there are places where you can order an enormous steak or burger or something like that, and if you finish it within a certain amount of time it's free."

>"...How enormous?" Archer says.

[Stuffman]

> "Uh, depends on where you go. Big enough that I'd never consider doing it."
> "Think along the lines of a five pound steak."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Uh, depends on where you go. Big enough that I'd never consider doing it."
> "Think along the lines of a five pound steak."

>She frowns. "Alright, I'm not a Berserker class, I can't pull that off."

[Stuffman]

> "What if we use a command seal?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "What if we use a command seal?"

>"Then five isn't enough," says Archer.

> Finish up our meal by packing away a few pancakes with however many varieties of syrup are available.

[Hello Purvis]

> Finish up our meal by packing away a few pancakes with however many varieties of syrup are available.

>You decide to finish up with some extra hurt. Archer seems to have taken a liking to sausage patties and biscuits.
>But you finish, you pay it off (25 dollars for the both of you, not too bad), and then you are ready for the road again.

[Stuffman]

> "Uugh, I think I ate too much..."
> Get back on the highway towards the University of Delaware!

[Hello Purvis]

> "Uugh, I think I ate too much..."
> Get back on the highway towards the University of Delaware!

>"I think that's the point," Archer says. "Definitely can't go there in the evening..."
>You resume your journey. The traffic only gets worse and worse, but this is somewhat temped by the fact this state is so small, you can get to anywhere from about anywhere in no more than a couple hours, tops. In the back of your mind, you're aware that  Assassin could be out there somewhere, but you reassure yourself with the knowledge that he seems to not be interested in striking in broad daylight. At least he doesn't seem so brazen as to risk the anger of the Magic Association.
>After perhaps an hour, having left the highway behind a bit ago, you notice the neighborhood taking on a certain character; establishments trying to be more modern and chic, places advertising more avant-garde dishes, and a general younger crowd on the streets. Ahead, you think you can see the main campus...

> What's the parking situation? Do it look like we have to pay or have a permit or something?

[Hello Purvis]

> What's the parking situation? Do it look like we have to pay or have a permit or something?

>It seems like the street parking is all metered, and the parking lots are timed lots where you take a ticket.
