OOC: Let's have a look at the list of objectives I drew up last thread!
- #1 goal: go find that dancing plant we need to mask the mana battery and finish it today, now that Saber's on the prowl. Done!
- Talk to Sister Gibson and let her know Georgia's command seals went away on their own. Done!
- Talk to Michael Collins and see if he can clarify Explorer's story or give us any other leads on this moon business. We can do this tonight.
- Get a notebook while we're in town so we can work out our magic bullshit without having to draw it in the dirt. Also acquire munchies. Done and done!

Optional:
- Have Archer get a look at Saber so we can work on IDing him. Thanks for introducing yourself.
- Case the area for rich assholes to rob so we can replace Misty's bike. We have a mark, now we need to scout out the place.
- Look into acquiring another catalyst - this would give us a starting point for looking further into the whole "summoning a second servant" business. I'm putting this on hold, realistically we probably don't have the time to engineer a way to do this. Instead I'll focus on the more practical plan of using the crystal to buff Archer.
- Attempt to win Kimimela's heart. Close enough!
- What the fuck are we going to do about Assassin? Lancer can help us find him!

We did great today!

NEW OBJECTIVES:
- Eliminate Assassin ASAP to stop his noble phantasm. Avoid Saber and Berserker for now.
- Finish designing the crystal-powered Auto-Staunch effect for Archer.
- Look for further leads into Explorer's moon mystery.
- See if we can rob that scientologist's house!

>Archer nods. "I'll have something ready for you."
>Sleep comes surprisingly easy, you usually aren't the sort to take naps, but the past few days have been a whirlwind, to say the least. While you weren't exactly tired, it takes you only minutes to drift off. You're not sure if you dreamt anything or not, but you wake to find Archer gently nudging your shoulder. "Hey, it's seven," she says. "I got stew ready."

>You feel more sluggish than anything, but you'll probably shake that off.
>Heading outside, you can smell something mutedly meaty. "It was easy enough to track down a rabbit," Archer says. "It's still kind of thin, more brothy than stewy right now, but it should still be pretty good."

>There certainly are. Archer gets there first can scoops you some from the pot. It is very souplike, with bits of meat floating in it, and some herbs.
>"So. I've been thinking," Archer says. "I...should probably tell you, about Ivar."

>She nods.
>"No, it's important, but it's awkward," Archer says. "When the Great Heathen Army came, they overran Nottinghamshire. There was...little I could do. They weren't interested in chasing me into the woods, they were interested in occupying the town for the winter. And, it was toward the last days of my own time. And I had just lost..."
