God? That was preposterous to say the least. What reason should god of all people have to choose him as a participant in this... war?? A strange idea, indeed. He didn't even like violence all that much. Though he had a weakness for explosives, but that was mostly for their use and effects and not the actual killing of others. He blinked and tried to understand what that meant. He could have such a Servant himself? How was that supposed to happen.

Oh, that sounds interesting, though I don't really like violence, but how would you get such a guy to follow you around? Is there some kind of agency that leases them to customers? It was a... strange idea, but not stranger then some of the others. Maybe these "Servants" were some kind of experiment of the goverment. But then, why would he get such a ticket for the war... he still disliked the idea. On the other hand, if god was REALLY involved... this could get bad. Wait, there was something he remembered. "Isn't god against violence?" Well, that wasn't quite true, after all the whole "turning the other cheek" thing only came with Jesus, but still...

Matt chuckled to himself. Even having just learned about this war, any self-respecting Magus should understand how a summoning works. Unless he didn't realise that a Servant was a summon, which would be understandable, or maybe this man wasn't a magus...

Matt opened his mouth to speak, but the man asked another, less obvious question. "Isn't god against violence?" Matt paused, thinking about the concept.

"Why would God be against violence? Certainly it shouldn't be used excessively, but if an all powerful creator were against violence why make it in the first place?" He smiled, satisfied with his answer.

"And about your other question. You obtain a Servant through a summoning, and then by contract. Generally you use blood, though there's a graveyard nearby and I think the soil is lively enough to..." He trailed off. The man didn't seem to be taking him seriously, as if this entire idea were a game.

Matt took on a more serious expression. "Umm... I have to ask you something else. You are a magus, aren't you?" He crossed his arms, staring questioningly at the man.

Arséne frowned and a part of him wanted to continue the discussion. The idea that a god would just not create violence if it was bad was ludicrous. If that was tree, then why was there war, hunger, genocide and all the other crimes of this world? Yet, he controlled himself. He could remember a time when his father had gotten into a discussion with a priest. Afterwards they were thrown out of the church and his father vowed to nether step onto holy ground together with old-fashioned idiots. Though the man didn't look like he would take it badly, he didn't want to risk his only source for information this soon.

Then he blinked and wondered if the other man was just joking with him. Summoning? He remembered a mentioning of that in one of the books... but that was crazy. He had done a couple of interesting things, with his mental manipulation technique as the best example, but otherwise he was at best limited to lighting a cigarette.... if he concentrated for a couple minutes on it.

"Well..." He answered on the last question, though he tried to remember the data about a graveyard. True, it sounded preposterous, but so did his own skill.... still. "... I cannot say that I ever heard of that particular term. The most texts I read talk about magicians and wizards, but I wouldn't call myself anything like that. I can only do a single trick." He made a small hand movement and gathered energy.

"Though I would need a test person to show you the tricks effect." He looked around.

Matt blinked at the man, then shook his hands in the air. "Oh, no need to show me all your tricks. We're enemies you know. Someday soon I'll probably have to kill you, and your only chance of survival might be that spell. I just wanted to make sure you were a Magus."

Matt suddenly froze, then searched the area to make sure nobody could overhear them. "Listen, this probably isn't the best place to talk. If you want to hear more my house is right over there and much, much safer."

He wondered whether it would be smart to remain with a man that had said that he would kill him sooner or later. On the other hand, the guy didn't even seem like he had it in him to kill another human. If he really wanted to win, it would be much smarter to kill him now after all. Maybe he just wanted an ally in this thing? Whatever, it was surely better to follow the man and risk his safety then to just jumble around without any knowledge of his situation.

With a flick of his wrist, he dispelled the energy that had gathered in his hand and nodded. He turned his head in the direction Matt was pointing out.

"Okay mister, please lead the way." Arséne nodded and waited for the other man to make his way to the wanted are.

Matt nodded, then went back towards the house. He still had to find Caster but... it seemed like a good idea to help this man, if only so he didn't find himself attacked by an enemy. Matt opened the gate, then turned around. "Oh, I didn't catch your name."

Arséne nodded and looked at the house. It didn't appear like there was anything wrong, though something in the back of his mind was giving him an odd feeling. Still, there was nothing to do but follow his new acquaintance.

"Oh, I didn't catch your name."

He blinked and stopped just a moment before getting inside the the building. He took a step backwards in an almost instinctual manner and cleaned himself up. A part of him wanted to lie, but another had come to the conclusion that this man was just... nice. Not matter how crazy that sounded. "Ah yes, I am Arséne, Arséne Fontaine, pleased to meet you. He stepped Forward again, intending to reach out with his hand for a short shake.

POP

With a weird sound, he fell backwards and catched himself after a few moments. Confusion lit on his face and he touched the place where he had been repelled.

POP Again, the sound was heard and his hand was thrown a bit backward, though not with quite as much power. Did the thing work by opposing the incomer with equal energy, or did it just not consider him a worthwile threat?

"Well," Arséne said after a Moment of fruitless testing. "it doesn't look like I can get inside, is that supposed to happen?"

Coming From: Secret War Camp Post 3
____________________________

Moving though the air Skuld spied the house that she had transformed into an add hock workshop and noted the trespasser. A human.

Only moments latter the wraiths that she had sent to tail her Maser appeared, prostrating themselves before her. It seemed that her Master had met this man by chance and begun attempting to aid him.

She watched her Master with cold eyes for a moment before she warmed ever so slightly. A... strange man he might be, but it seemed that he had some kind of backbone. Strange foreigners

In any case this newcomer seemed to be a Magi of some sort. It could be valuable to meet him and present herself as someone that need not be feared.

She flew closer and materialized out of sight as to not alarm the newcomer.

Emerging from behind the building she made her way up the street at a human pace and and smiled at the newcomer. He seemed to have a common face, but set with sharp eyes.

"Greetings once again Master, its good to see that you have returned safely, and who is this?"

Matt cocked his head slightly as Arsene reached for his hand, but was jerked back each time at the last minute. Matt waved his hand in the area his new companion seemed unable to pierce only to find... nothing. His hand passed through unaltered and undeflected. Perhaps this was part of Fontaine's spell? No sooner had the thought entered his mind than the other Magus began questioning the nature of the incident.

That's when Matt noticed a black cloaked figure in the background. His eyes grew wide and his face turned pale.

"Greetings once again Master, its good to see that you have returned safely, and who is this?"

Matt froze, unsure of what to do. "Oh, um... This is Fontaine, I was just helping him with something." He looked gravely at Arsene, then motioned to the Servant. "This is my Servant, Caster. Perhaps she'd be better at explaining to you the nature of this war. Honestly, I'm kind of new to all this as well."

He stepped beyond the fence, standing beside Arsene while keeping a careful eye on Caster. She didn't seem angry, but it was entirely possible she was saving it for later. Things could be dangerous in that case, not only for Arsene and Matt himself. More so for Matt, once he thought about it.

"I was just looking for you, Caster, but it seems you've found me. Maybe once mr. Fontaine leaves we can discuss the current situation?" He brought up the new magus, praying not to be left alone with the Servant.

When Skuld appeared, Arséne was still attempting to get inside the building, touching and prodding the invisible defences of this strange place. It was with a bit of a shock that he stepped backwards and turned to the newly appeared women. When Matt went ahead and introduced the two to each other, Arséne had a strange feeling. That woman was very dangerous. It wasn't just the feeling around her, the power of her presence, but the way she looked and walked. This woman was thinking and planning at this very moment. He had seen this kind of person many times around his house. They were the thinkers and could be much more dangerous then a straight out fighter. The way Matt looked at the woman didn't help his opinion all that much.

"Pleased to meet you." Arséne said, like he had done before to Matthew, while trying to hide his suspicions to her nature, he wasn't sure if he had succeeded. One hand moved discreetly to his backpack and opened the slide fastener halfway. He wouldn't be the person to start a fight, but he wouldn't just roll over and die.

He tried to think about the next step, why did things always go such a way with him? Maybe asking for information would be enough to take away any interest the woman could develop for him, hadn't Matt said she knew more about the war then he?

"Ah yes, mister Matthew here discovered that I am apparently a member in this conflict here. He was about to explain the details of it. Maybe you could help us with this miss Caster?
