You are sitting in a bar some time later. Drinking away the memories of your former friend... When you notice some strange symbols being burned onto your hand out of thin air.

"...W-What the...?", the redhead let out, blinking. She observed the symbol, with a frown. "...Don't tell me..."
Using her knowledge of the occult, she attempted to identify the symbols... and see if they were indeed what she thought they were. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 stones (Ef.) into General knowledge (Occult lore, Magecraft and Magic, The Mages Association) to identify the symbols, and see if they are, indeed, Command Spells.

You figure out that these are indeed command spells.

"...A Holy Grail War...", she said, frowning. "Can't say I expected this. But... I didn't summon anyone on my own... and I'd have to be bleeding or something to cause an accidental summoning... no?", the rehead said to herself out loud, confused. "How did I...?"
Still, those were all questions which could wait. First things first... if she had become a Master, then her summoned Heroic Spirit should be close by. She looked around, searching for such an entity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7 stones into Intelligence, helped by Enhanced Vision 5 (Feel the flow of Time, Fate, Chaos and Destruction; See Auras and Magical Forces, See into other dimensions (including ghosts, demons, supernatural, etc); in order to locate the Heroic Spirit who was summoned to serve me.
10 stones (Ef.) into General Knowledge (Occult lore, Myths and legends, Supernatural creatures) to try and recognize the Spirit in question when I see him/her.

You fail to find a Servant... Perhaps the Grail has chosen you for a Master, but left you to summon the Servant yourself.

"Hmm... unusual. Looks like I got Command Spells before I even got a Servant. I wonder if this means I get first pick..."
She began thinking silently.
"...Let's see... Saber class is usually the strongest, but since I am an extremey powerful Master compared to average ones, I don't really need the strongest as much as one that complements my skills well. Archer is always good and unmatched at range, Rider could theoretically add some mobility and possibly interesting skills that I may not have... Lancer is usually not among the strongest, but often has powerful Noble Phantasms... I don't really need a Caster since I'm already very strong at Magic... a Berserker is often powerful, but I don't really have a good way to control one... and an Assassin is usually among the weakest of all Servants but have special abilities."
She folded her arms, nodding to herself.
"...I guess that means... one of the four Knight classes would be the best match for me. I'm already devastating at range, so... best would probably be either Saber or Rider. Rider it is!"
She paid her tab, then stood up and proceeded to head over to her hotel room. Time for a little ritual... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OOC: I assume I probably have a hotel room, lol.

Upon arrival to her room, Aoko proceeded to get the necessary actions done, readying the ritual. As soon as she had done everything required, she created the magic circle and began the ritual, standing in its middle:
"I hereby propose. Thou shalt come under my command, and thy sword shall control my fate. Abiding by the summons of the Holy Grail, if thou dost accede to this will and reason, answer me..."
As she spoke, the magic circle began glowing and responding to her words with pulsating energy.
"I hereby swear. I am all that is good in the eternal world. I am the disposer of evil in the eternal world. Thou, clad with the Great Trinity, come forth from the circle of constraint."
She concluded by cutting in her palm with a small knife, causing one drop of blood to fall onto the circle to complete the ritual. "Guardian of the Heavens!!"
As she said those last words, she silently prayed for a Rider-class servant, although she wouldn't really mind any other, either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9 stones (Ef.) into Thaumaturgy to prepare the ritual, and create the magical circle.
14 stones (Ef.) into General Knowledge (Occult lore, Magecraft and Magic) to actually perform it and complete the ritual, to try and Summon a Rider class servant.

(I've read enough Fate fanfics to know that isn't the full incantation, but whatever)
In a flash a man appears before you... Wearing a white hood over a blue shirt, carrying several old time pistols, and two swords on his person.
"I am Rider... I ask, are you my master?"

(OOC: I haven't read any such fanfics. I did, however, watch Unlimited Blade Works and used the incantation from it word for word.)

"That would be me... greetings, Rider", the redhead said with a smile. "My name is Aoko Aozaki... Magus, Master in this Holy Grail War, and a wielder of the Fifth Magic. It's a pleasure to meet you", she said, as she proceeded to sense the Servant's statistics. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 stones into Intelligence to sense Rider's statistics.

"Hmm... interesting. Your Riding skill may be lower than average for Riders, but you not only have strong Presence Concealment, but also an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm. Very good", she said with a smile. "I'm a fairly simple Master to take care of, a fact I'm sure you'll agree with. I'm very strong... in fact, I could fight an average Heroic Servant all on my own due to my magic and my general might... and that was before I gained crazy superhuman powers I gained not too long ago. So I don't think I'll need much protection. We can face the enemy head-on, together!"
She sat on her bed, crossing her legs.
"...But first... two questions. What is that 'Berserk Distraction' Noble Phantasm of yours... and what is the wish you intend to make upon the Holy Grail?"

"I shoot someone with a dart that turns them into a raging berserker, attacking any and all around them regardless of allegiance... As for my wish... I desire one thing... The entire Templar Order wiped from the face of the Earth."

"I shoot someone with a dart that turns them into a raging berserker, attacking any and all around them regardless of allegiance..."
"Hmhm. Very useful indeed...", she said with a smirk. Shooting a Servant with this and have them attack their own Master... could be an interesting idea.
"As for my wish... I desire one thing... The entire Templar Order wiped from the face of the Earth."
Aoko searched her memories, wondering... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ...if she knows about the Templars via her knowledge from the Mage's Association, or occult lore in general, since the Association is also an ancient, secretive order. 14 stones (Ef.) into General Knowledge (History and geography, Occult lore, The Mage's Association, Myths and legends).

You find that the Templars are a secret ancient order who desire to take over the world, and have been feuding/warring with the Assassins for thousands of years.
Both groups have attempted to make contact with/subvert control of the Mage's Association on several occasions... But it's never led to anything good... In fact the standard procedure for Mages is to kill any Assassin, or Templar who tries to interact with them.
