Shin Megami Tensei and Fate have a lot in common, surprisingly!

[Well, that's at least not an outright denial. Moriarty gives a hum, nodding.]

They are quite...odd, aren't they? I assume there are no such creatures in the tales and recounting of this country's Yokai, yes?

[aboyandhiscat]

If there is, it's an extremely local legend from someplace remote.

[The door opens, and Narumi enters, looking a touch frazzled and sans coffee]

The louse looks worse for wear.

[The man places his bowler on the hat rack and sighed, giving Moriarty a sheepish shrug:]

Sorry Archer-san, no coffee for tomorrow. Damndest thing, someone's brakes went out and their car went crashing into the store, owners had to close up shop. It's pretty lucky nobody got hurt, Raidou's upstairs I take it?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

It seems bad luck is the order of the day - Poor Raidou had an accident while we were looking around somewhere, and my back gave out just as I stepped in through the door! He's off getting me a few supplies for the pain.

[Though honestly, he tries not to look happy at the mention of 'no coffee', given he's always preferred tea.]

No coffee? A pity....thankfully, I have some decent assam leaf I acquired recently, which should give you what you need to get through your day. Though I hope beyond the shop, you didn't run into any issues?

[Narumi exhales as he plops himself at his desk, running his fingers through his hair:]

Assam? Well, we can give that a shot, but other than nearly jumping out of skin, nothing really happened - I can't do the things you guys can, but something pretty rotten is going on.

[Raidou comes downstairs with an aspirin bottle, gripping the rail more tightly than he normally would, silently handing the bottle to Moriarty]

I bet the insects and the weird streaks of luck is involved with the Grail war,

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[At being given the bottle, he shakes out two and swallows it, dry. It's not as if he truly needs it, given that the pain has already receded thanks to the healing Raidou's mana has given him - but it's a nice gesture all the same, and he's not one to scorn it.

At hearing that - from both the man and the cat - he nods.]

Hm. Yes, I agree. Most likely, these may be related to some sort of Servant - though a heroic spirit relating to insects and luck...

[He muses for a second, before shaking his head.]

I haven't the foggiest. Though, that is assuming that it isn't something more...along the lines of what Raidou would deal with.

[Due to it's long period of isolation, Japan was practically the last bastion for Phantasmals on earth - most likely the reason why there were so many Yokai and spirits around, even if this world seemed a bit different than the one he came from.]

[Narumi gave Moriarty a puzzled look at the mention of insects, before snapping his fingers, as Raidou tucks a hand into his cloak pocket, taking out pieces of red wood, speaking quietly]

Narumi-san, can you fix this? Our target had dropped it.

[His cheeks went a little pink, which may hint it wasn't broken when he got his hands on it originally, the Detective takes the pieces, and lays out paper on his desk, starting to assemble the pieces]

Speaking of Servants, We know there's Lancer, Saber, You, and Rider - that leaves Caster, Assassin, and Berserker unaccounted for - and if I reckon, berserkers tend to make themselves known real quick.

Of course we need to figure out if the war and this luck plague is related first...
