Imani scowls. Is EVERY man in this war an irrepressible dick?
She hops out the car and gives it a little four-fingered scratch behind the side-view mirror (hopefully eliciting a purr). Leaning gently against the hood, she crosses her arms and looks him up and down. (Clairvoyance: 9)
Sarai scrabbles for Imani (the driver of our getaway vehicle) as she gets out of the car, "Wait... dammit!" What if this is Saber? she thinks to herself.

"The Monkey King," Oz whispers from inside the car. He scrambles out and reassures Sarai, "Don't worry. That's Sun Wukong. Definitely the Rider servant."

With these reassurances, Sarai will also exit the car, hoisting her gear. "Glad to meet you," she says to the Servant. "My weakness is tall, dark men with feather fetishes. What's yours? Bad poetry?"
No, she's not flirting. YOU'RE FLIRTING.

The man laughs and scratches his cheek, as what is very clearly a monkey’s tail sways from side to side behind him. He stands to his full on the lamppost, leaning to one side, falling, and swing back around to the top, “Oh? Weakness? Hmm.” He swings around again, “I’ve been told that I just care too much. That’s what people say nowadays, right? Oh! Maybe I’m too hard a worker? I just don’t know when to quit? Too ambitious? No... not quite right.” He snaps his fingers, “Oh! Too handsome. That’s definitely it.” He flips and lands on the ground, “I am indeed the Rider servant, The Great Sage, Equal of Heaven, Handsome Monkey King, and much more, Sun Wukong. I’ll wait for the applause.”
"Ah, yes," Sarai says with a smile, to the Monkey King's list of 'weaknesses.' "Your weakness is an honest mirror, like so many mammals." She throws her duffel on the hood of the catcar and unzips it, and begins placing ammo, her sword, guns, the goggles, etc. about her person.
"I love your movies! Is Jet Li as nice as he seems? What's it like having a tail? I bet it's like a third hand!"Oz looks down at Sun's feet. "Or five in your case. Can I... can I touch it? Oh! Also would you mind signing this? Can you write 'To my pal, Oz' too?" Oz takes out a pen and some paper from his satchel.
Oz notices that the Monkey King is actually wearing normal shoes. They are very much the traditional Chinese warrior slipper. At your question, he tilts his head, “What’s it like having a tail? What’s it like having an arm? Hard to answer, right?” He steps up, takes the pen and paper, and obliges, “Anyway, of course, it’s only natural that you would want a memento of me. I am pretty great.“ He hands the paper and the newly written Chinese characters back. He then steps back, stretches, and breathes deep, “So, what class you are you two?” He points to Caster and Assassin.
"The whistler about?" Sarai asks innocently. We really need to stop exposing our Masters like this, she thinks to herself.
“Probably.” Rider says as he waits for the servant’s answer, “You’ll forgive her for not wanting to show herself to masters, even in such circumstances.”

"An interesting question," Caster says, standing to the side of Sun Wukong. "But you're going to have to back up before your introduction. I wasn't listening. Who are you, again?"

As Monkey gives the paper back, Oz grasps his hand and shakes it enthusiastically like any adoring fan would. He secretly tries to grab a hair from Sun's furry paw. Skill check: 21.

Rider squints at you, momentarily distracting him from Oz’s sleight of hand. He turns fully, crosses his arms with a frown, and rubs his chin, “Really? I reveal my true name in the presence of other Servants, only to be ignored. That doesn’t sit well with me, old man. My master has requested of me that I honor the agreements of this truce. That being said, I don’t suffer slights lightly. I once fought all of heaven because they dared dishonor me. I would be happy to repeat the feat for you after this.”

"Now, now, Caster. Be nice. We'll treat him like a guest, yes? Look what our new friend gave me." Oz shows Caster the paper with a single hair held between his thumb and the paper, out of Monkey's sight. Oz also sends mind messages to Caster.
Oz then folds up the paper, trapping the hair inside, and tucks it safely into his satchel. He gives a big, goofy grin like a fool. He is apparently happy with his autograph.
Sarai finishes gearing up, and turns back to the group, addressing the Monkey King. "Were you just going to dangle from a lamp post until Saber came along, or did you have a plan?"

Rider winks, “Maybe. However, in all seriousness, our mutual friend informed me that I would have assistance. From that point, it was just a matter of looking for you all. The plan is to ambush him in the Old City. If we all gang up at once, Saber stands no real chance.”
Imani's nostrils flare and she takes a calming breath. "Even still, it wouldn't hurt to know as much as we can before moving in. What can you tell us about Saber? We know that they can apparently turn people into werewolves- tell us more."
