"That's the part I'm still working on. It seems to me that those other two aren't about to start a fight this early in the Grail War. That leaves four we don't know anything about. There's a good chance someone might come looking for us, but we shouldn't rule out baiting people."
Maeve looks around to make sure the area around them is still empty, and begins to climb the fence, stopping at the top to study the park better.
"I don't know who the other Masters are, so I can't even begin to guess what servants were summoned, or where people might be setting up. But I feel like this park is central enough that, if we visit a few times, someone is going to be close enough to notice us. So that's probably the plan for if everything else fails. Might even try to make what appears to be a hideout here. We could try to find and follow a Servant until we get a bite. My instincts weren't bad at all tonight, since we did find two. Hopefully the next guess works as well. And if you feel there's somewhere we should check, just say so."

Cuu helps you climb up onto the fence. "I'd rather head out and take the offensive, but that's honestly not a bad idea. Looks like we might make a decent team after all."
The park looks about like you'd expect. Manicured grass carefully reclaimed from the surrounding desert. A few swingsets for the kids and gazebos for the adults. Plenty of flowers and pretty bushes.
An irrigation system toggles on while you watch. Looks like they run it at night.

"Maybe we'll get lucky and bring a fire using servant here when they're running the sprinklers. Any advantage we can use, we'll do it," she says as she drops back down to the sidewalk. "How about we take a few minor detours on our way back to our base, sticking to some alleys and such to see if we detect a Servant? We can pick our route based on the kinds of places the other teams might set up or be prowling."

"Want to stir up a little trouble, huh? That's fine with... Oi!" Cuu turns and looks towards an alley. "What are you looking at?"
You notice a man peering out at you. He's dressed in business casual and has red, spiked hair. "...The p-park is closed," he announces. "You're trespassing."
"That so?" Cuu asks out loud.
"Want me to take care of this guy, Master?"

"Standing outside the park isn't tresspassing, sir. At worst, it's loitering," Maeve says. "What sort of businessman lurks in alleys at night, bugging people who just wanted to take a minute to appreciate some nature in the city?"
"I'm only tying to make trouble when we can make it productive. But we'll see how this goes."

"Ones who are one their way home from- That's none of your business! Whatever. If you're not making trouble, then... Whatever." The man turns and starts walking away, down the sidewalk this time.
"Yeah, whatever," Cuu calls after him.
"Killing some normal human sounds like a waste, anyway. Not even as satisfying as hunting boar."

"One on his way home... from where? Hmm. Let's see if we can trace his path back a bit. He stopped himself for a reason. May not be worth our time in the end, but I want to see."

You follow along after the office worker. He makes his way down two blocks and you notice he has a slight swagger to his steps. He stops outside an apartment building and starts rummaging for his keys. Before he can open the door, it swings open. Inside is a woman dressed in a nightgown. Glaring. Angrily. "You've been out drinking again, haven't you?"

OOC- Maeve was talking about retracing his steps to see where he came from.

Oh. Well. The alley. Which you follow to find another downtown street with several bars.

You head down the alley and find a small back roads with several small bars, most crammed full of men in business outfits. Cuu doesn't disappear while you stand at the edge of the alley and watch.
"Oi, Master. Don't look back, but it seems like someone's watching us. Looks like it might be another vigilante salaryman. Want me to run him off?"

Trying not to pass out from exhaustion right now. Will post before midnight CST, or you have my full permission to advance without me getting to react.

"I'm not sure here. Trust your instincts right now, and let's try to keep things clean if possible," she says.

Cuu settles for glaring at him. It seems to work. The man turns and leaves.
You wander around the street together for a bit. There's a half-dozen bars on this block, along with a few clubs and other forms of entertainment. Traffic seems to have to detour around this block after dusk.
"Heh. I know a couple warriors who would quite enjoy a place like this." He seems to be reminiscing a bit.
Cuu pauses while you wander around. He turns and looks over his shoulder, up at a building. "Hm...?"
