Let's Play Fate/Stay Night
<< | ^^ | >>
Rider

Holy minmaxing, Batman! Rider has some average stats, piss-poor Endurance and Luck, and a terrifyingly high-level Noble Phantasm. I don't really foresee that Riding ability getting that much use in modern-day Japan, though. We don't even have a zoo!
Incidentally, it is worth noting that F/SN has NO IDEA how D&D alignments work.
When we last checked in, Shinji was being an enormous douchewad and mouth-creeper. Now it is time to go home!

HEY SHIROU
REMEMBER WHEN RIN SAID TO GO STRAIGHT HOME
YOU ALREADY FUCKED THAT UP ONCE
BE SMART

Fortunately, Issei shows up to try and woo Shirou before he can do anything stupid.
We're asking about that temple and if anything's up!

A beautiful woman at the temple?
Our curiosity is piqued!
Also fortunately, Shirou's a clear enough thinker to go home at this point.
What's going on in the ol' house?

Antics, that's what. Antics about food, as usual.
The two Normals head home, and it's back to business.

Somehow, Rin and Saber don't kill Shirou for dropping that bomb!
Names are dropped. Rin is surprised.

Shirou is dumb enough to still consider Shinji trustworthy! The world, however, is ALSO pretty dumb, so maybe he's right.
Overall a lot of time is spent recapping the meeting with Shinji. Time for tactics!

Saber is apprently also looking at the status screen. She saw that A+.

More mechanics exposition!
Saber seems pretty heroic, so her story checks out. For now.
Next topic: The Master at the Temple!

One subtle advantage of having Saber on my side: She's been in the war before in this area, so I have reconnaisance spoilers.

Screencapped to capture a beautiful, rare moment of Rin losing in a conversation.
Saber gives us more intel that other Masters are avoiding the Temple because it has a field around it that weakens unnatural spirits. Like Servants. However, for a Servant already AT the temple, it's apparently no problem, so whoever's attacking that place is in for a heaping pile of Fuck You.
There is, however, a loophole!

FRONTAL ASSAULT FUCK YEAH
Time to attack?
TIME TO ATTACK?

Time to not attack.
Saber, however, has other plans?

WE'RE GOING BALLS OUT HERE FUCK YEAH LET'S GO
>Fight.

Tohsaka seems to think this is a bad idea.
BECAUSE SHE'S A PANSY.

I HAVE A POINTY STICK
YOUR SERVANT IS INVALID

Hey, new locale!
Saber detects a Servant nearby.

Hey, they're letting us in! How nice of them.

EVERYTHING'S GOING MY WAY TODAY
LET'S GO

Uh

This isn't quite going as planned!

Wait, where the fuck am I.
OH GOD THERE'S SOMEONE BEHIND ME HIT IT KILL IT

Health
[||||||||||||||||||||]

Who the fucking

Deus ex machina time!
Please!




Thoughtless Shirou!!

What are you doing when her wound hasn't even healed yet?
You just became a Master, so you should train yourself a bit more!

That's right. It can't be helped if you're killed by me, but being killed by that fox isn't cool. Hurry back to the previous choice and stay home tonight.

That's right. Make sure to properly consider your actions next time.

Well. Tiger Dojo, the support for all those who reach dead ends because of mistakes, is entering its third session already.

I think you are getting used to this dojo, but...

But? What is it, Taiga? Are you hinting at something? Is there something you want to say?

...Yes. Actually, I think everyone's starting to wonder by now as well.

Wonder?

Well, then I'll say it, but...

Isn't that buruma too direct?!!!!!!!

Huh? But this is a dojo, right? I'm in my gym uniform because we're going to be working out.

...I see. So that's the reason, huh? That's certainly logical. I thought it was a scheme of a mischevious girl trying to steal away the few spotlights I have.

You're thinking too much, Taiga. After all, we're on a completely different level. I don't even need to change into my best clothes.

You're right! We're treated differently, so there isn't even a need to compete.
Thank God. We're best friends forever.
The gym uniform is a sign of vitality, so I'll allow Ilya-chan to keep wearing it!

Of course. Well, you can thank me for not being in a maid costume or a school swimsuit. Actually, I was supposed to appear in a different costume every time.

Wow. An obvious difference in our treatment.
Heh, I'm not vexed. The idea was discarded after all, so you're treated the same way I am.
But I'm a bit curious.
What kind of costumes were you planning to wear?

Um, things like male school uniform, kamakura style, my adult version, snowman, apron, kimono, G*rman army officer's uniform...
There were forty different costumes!

Guaaaa! That's enough! Such blessed love is too hateful!
But it's a bit disappointing since I wanted to see the officer's uniform.

yeah. I don't think it's good to take back a decision they've already made, even though they're adults.

You're right! What are the commanders thinking to take away my route?! Do they really want to win?!

You had no route from the start.

What?! Stay there, you disgrace!


Oh, hi, Senpai.

Stay relaxed.

She's gone... Taiga's unconscious, so maybe I should head back too.

Give you the stamp and... all right, let's meet again after the next dead end!
For some explanation about what she means by stamp, here's the Ending List:

Tiger Stamps Collected: 3/40
Better luck next time, Shirou!
