> She really has no intention of leaving town...
> Okay, whatever. If she drives up to the parking lot at the beach and goes into the woods from there the guys aren't going to find her.
> "Ah, you can drop me off at the storage place down the road, actually."
> Start making our way back to her car.

>"That's fine," says Georgia.
>The two of you make your way down the empty main strip. Though it is dark, the light pollution keeps you from seeing the stars at all. But it also means that it is easy to see as you follow the sidewalks. Honestly, it isn't a bad night; the heavy clouds from yesterday are all but gone and what little traffic noise you can hear is in the distance. Maybe you'll be able to see the stars from camp?
>As you pass by a pair of billboards, you can see some motion out of the corner of your eye! Half a heartbeat later and something is passing over your head; reaching down. Then your hand aches fiercely as something lands on the ground, a few yards away!

>Standing the middle of the road is a short man, heavy-set man clad in black clothing, He wears a black mask over the upper half of his face, while the lower half of his face is quite round. His hair is long and black, stylishly wavy. He wears a doublet coat with wide sleeves, striped black and light gray in a very medieval manner, with a white cravat wrapped around his neck. His wide breeches are equally dark, tuckled into buckled boots as dark as the pavement he stands on. A wide-brimmed hat with a single crimson feather rests on his head, and a simple black cloak on his sholders.  Long black gloves adorn his hands, and in his hands rests a crown, a strangely familiar-looking thing of reddish felt and gold arches, covered in gems and fleur-de-lis icons.
>The dark-clad man gives you a cocky grin, then bows in your direction.
>You hand still hurts, but the pain is ebbing away quickly. You aren't sure where Archer is.
>Information Update: Midnighter

>You try to send to Archer, and nothing happens. You do not feel it work at all.
>Looking down at your hand, you immediately note a distinct lack of command seals.

>You chase after the black-cloaked servant; fumbling with your phone. Behind you, you can hear Archer, who seems to be cursing in what you assume is probably the Anglo-saxon tongue she spoke in her original life. At least you assume she's cursing.
>You get a call through, and hear Lancer reply, "Yes?"

I think it would be a good idea to not mention he's got our command seals right now.

> "Just got attacked by a weird servant called Midnighter! Headed southeast towards uhhhhh the Tanger Outlets! Come help if you feel like it, but tell Kimimela to cover her head! Bye!"

>"That's a new one," you hear Lancer say, before you hang up.
>You pocket your phone and pick up the pace! Archer dashes past you, still cursing, sending arrows toward the retreating Midnighter. The fleeing servant reacts by leading over into the opposing highway.

>You keep going! Archer and the other servant continue to open more distance; the former occasionally firing on the latter. It is hard to tell who is gaining or falling behind at a glance. Midnighter is drifting toward the far sidewalk now.

>You pitch a wall in front of the retreating Servant. It rises up out of the ground, and he easily vaults over it. For a moment, you curse it as a waste, but it has let archer gain a little more ground.
