Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail

The days go by slower and slower for Lilith, nothing to do as she layed on her bed. Waiting for a mission to happen so that she might be able to possibly go out and do something! Chaldea definitely wasn't the best for fun, too much people were serious as hell. So Lilith once again, took a walk outside of her dorm passing by dorm after dorm with basically nothing special about them. Just an ordinary door until finally she circled around to the summoning rooms. With Kandita and Castoria no longer with her, it kinda sucked but maybe this time she'll find someone that'll be staying with her. So she opened the door looking at the command seals that were on her hand before taking in a deep breath to calm herself. And with that, she started the summoning ritual as she pointed her hand over to the middle of the circle, palms open before reciting a speech in hopes to obtain a servant once again. One, that will stay with her till the end of times. "It's been a while, but let's get this started. I announce to whoever may be listening to this request to come and assist me in these trying times. May your armor protect those in need of protection and your weapon bring doom to those that oppose us. And lastly let us bring prosperity to the world that we call our home." And with that lilith would just kinda look around before closing her eyes preparing for the blinding or worst, the dust storm that was about to commence within the summoning room. Hopefully Liliths summoning phrase, was good enough to catch someone who wasn't a caster. She summons far too many!

(@[unintelligible sub noises] whenever you want to. Sorry if I'm not the best with summoning phrases.

I don’t give a shit bruh, don’t worry about your phrases

may the dull white of Chaldean reserve excitement for a moment that’s to happen sooner or later, as the white sucks emotion out of one yet, no drop is wasted, instead trapping them in a flow along the walls, a silent room that’s about to scream back to life and residence with the woman who is hoping to conjure anything else but a caster, maybe that’s what she was predestined, to receive, after all servants come in order of who’s more fit as she chants expressing her wishes, for god please anything else, she’d find herself closing her eyes at a dim light, seeing as nothing majorly in the sensory department is happening when she would, if she would, be opening her eyes, she’d see yellow divine ribbons descending towards the ground from nowhere, forming a cone as they spin idly. The light glow of the beautiful structures is mesmerising to look, demanding of grandness as they start unraveling like a flower from the top. The cone blooming, as Lilith watching(probably) this unfold. The blonde hair and outline of a face she knows is visible, … yet, something is wrong, their dull face watching into nothing with empty eyes, a person of no emotion is seen. What a change of pace, … probably shouldn’t have summoned someone in her current head space the cone unravels more as Lilith holds her fingers crossed, finally reaching her neck where she sees, … armour, … IT’S ARMOUR! This might actually be it! The blue cape of the avatar lowers down as the silverine breast plate sits silently, the yellow crown of gold on her head is visible and her gauntlets rest bey her sides, hidden behind the vail of the valorous cape, a strong presence is felt, and she might have heard the stories in the books of Chaldean, … of the tyrant goddess of Rhongomyniad. Artoria Pendragon, …

8:50 PM

as everything settles and the summoning is complete, the person looks around, sitting in her place in the circle, as she takes in the scene around her, looking at the walls, around her, and behind, then fixing her gaze locking it with the summoner, her unflinching lips immobile right before they are “Kneel” she says sternly

9:14 PM

~~I forgot~~

As the summoning process had continued Lilith would be surprised to see that she had finally not lost her vision for limited amount of time because of the process. So she decided to slowly pry her eyes open to see what was going on within the circle and there she saw her servant start to build upon itself. Blonde hair, like her previous servant artoria avalon. But the face on it, was none that she had ever met. No emotion was being shown compared to her other servants, usually they had at least a smile compared to this one. To say the least, Lilith was rather anxious as she waited for the figure to develop more! And as she waited, the thing she had hoped to see for the past month had developed. Armor! Not regular clothing but actual armor! Was this it, the very thing Lilith wanted! Yes, Yes it was until finally the figure had finished to show the current servant that was present. Lilith, out of all of the little knowledge that she had about other servants would luckily at least know about the legendary figure that was present in front of her. So many times did Lilith not understand nor did she know who and what her servants were, only the time period they were in. But this one, this one was the exception. A tyrant, the goddess of Rhongomgniad, the king of knights. So many different names that spoke of this legend that sat in front of Lilith. And lilith was terrified, what would she do.... Would she even listen to her, would she resent her because of the system choosing Lilith out of all the people that were thousands of times stronger and better. So she stood there, holding her hands in hopes to calm herself and finally. The kings first words, no, first order in this time had been given, "kneel." Lilith of course did so, in hopes that the person who stood before her. Artoria pendragon, would at least understand she respected the title that she had.

(No worries

seeing the non defiant person, Artoria, would close her eyes, exhaling though her nose audibly pleased looking at the ground as she would take the first step. The sound of the heavy armour clanking, the plates sliding off of each other as she walked, the tunic beautifully of dull colour as she paced around, taking the scenery

9:43 PM

the deep blunt voice like a chipped sword is heard asking “Where are we. Who are you. What is your purpose. Answer me I ask” oh yeah, … she has never been summoned before, … she was the cause of a singularity, having to be defeated, an enemy has joined the ranks it seems, the walk feels breath taking every steps she takes, her straight back walking prideful with a step so sure on its heel it might as well be thundering, although the delivery might use some work, the wording implies no hostility, ‘she asked’ not ordered for a response. Perhaps she’s confused? Curious? Whichever she is the train of though is interrupted by yet another line “From the depth I rise in search for the one who called, in the abyss, I heard a voice I reached for. One that asked for protection and help for those who still are, a pure heart called, that I was sure off, they words had not bet an eye, their tone stern as it was determined. They are not lying, they want to save something greater, and through their words I realised they were talking about humanity, … Though that, a light appeared, for which I reached.” the sound of compressing rubber as the leather under her armour adjust she will continue “Finding myself in a room of which I never seen before, … a goal I share has arises with a determined warrior. May I have failed the first time, … but success shall follow along this time. What lands have I set foot upon, I wonder.” her imposing presence extends to her past deeds, yet she seems unagressive, just demanding of respect, which she offers back with her dull, … yet calm attitude “You may rise” her fragmented speech while calm, it’s symbolic of erratic, so many questions she’s asking but they make not conjoined sense, unless read separately with pauses, that’s one way to show confusion I guess

(Sorry blood nose

Lilith still was kneeling panicking as she the ruler stood up from her position are started to ask questions, luckily for Lilith she was able to tell that this tone she had was different compared to the last. As though she were just requesting for the info rather than giving an order to Lilith, it's not like Lilith was a knight. More of a scientist that wants to make humanity better. But even then, the blonde woman in front of Lilith was still a king worthy of respect. So she listened, waiting for the woman to finish what she wanted to speak about before doing any actions. And of course, it was rather intriguing as she listened to the speech that the woman spoke of. The voice of course was Liliths, there was absolutely no doubt that it wasn't seeing how she was talking for protection. Which of course, came from Liliths request to use her armor to protect. But the biggest thing that scared the snake girl was the description of the world that surrounded the servant. An abyss she called it, Lilith could only think of hoe terrifying it is to be sent down to it. No light, no one to talk to, it's just you and your own soul. Until, someone calls upon you from Chaldea. Sometimes never, it was not the best thought to think of but it made her feel bad for Artoria, Sheba, Nito, hell even Kandita. What hell were they in before they were called. She had to know. But nevertheless with Lilith being able to now rise, she would get up from the kneel she was in to just realize how weirdly short she was. For someone with such s mature figure, it was weird to see that she was only a mere 5, 7. But that did not matter, it was time for lilith to introduce herself to her new servant. "Thank you, my name is Lilith. And right now, we are within the summoning room of chaldea. And my purpose is a rather simple one, my main target is bettering humanity. I hope to make them stronger and possibly smarter so that one day we might be able to be on the top of the world again. .

10:32 PM

And possibly have it back again. Though, each attempt of mine has failed. I'm glad to have summoned you miss, if you cannot tell. I am the one who had requested for your assistance in this world. I hope we both can be great partners, do you have any other questions for me to ask? Maybe about why I seem to be a lizard person?" Lilith said with a chuckle hoping to change the womans blank facial expression to one of joy, but seeing how her new partner was. It was unlikely

when she finishes, Artoria walks pass her, the royal cape flatters with a flap behind as it whips with the air slapping it for just a second, walking towards the automatic door, which upon closing in reaching put as if wanting to grab a handle opening on it’s own, it’s while surprising as it is oddly normal, there was no such thing in her times, but her knowledge as a servant makes her know of this, … mechanism “Hmp-, …” she puff out her nose “Oddly expected, …” her hand slowly lowers as she passes though the door way exiting to the hall, sitting in the middle looking both ways, … then turning back to Lilith to look at her

It was time for the Burial Agent to summon another servant. She had contracted with several servants in the past, but only one of them had stuck around. Others had simply left, died or, in the last case, had to be put down. Ciel was hoping that this servant would be different, that they would stick around. The blue hair girl then began the incarnation. She had said it several times, and compared to some of the other rituals she had done in the past; this one was pretty easy. As she spoke the words and poured some magical energy, the room would begin to light up. However, none of this broke Ciel’s concentration as she simply kept going on. The French girl continued, and with that, the summoning ritual would then be completed. The lights would go bright, and then a figure would stand in front of her. @ArbyOrNotToBe

Indeed, once the incantation was recited, a figure can be seen standing in the center of the summoning circle. It was difficult to tell if they were male or female due to the heavy suit of armor they wore. There were no spots that revealed any skin or hair. She would be standing at about 5'9 and appears to possess a very fit figure. But the piece of gear that stood out the most, other than their black fur shoulder piece, would be their helmet. It was made of black steel and has small red highlights. Then her visor were also glowing red. This knight servant looked very menacing. "Saber, Mordred. I have come in response to your summoning. But out of curiosity, I have to ask... Is my father here?" A deep, feminine voice would leave the helmet of Saber Mordred. It seems she's the son of the King of Knights, Arthur Pendragon. Though strange that they are female rather than male. Ciel swears in the stories that Mordred Pendragon was a son rather than a daughter. Before the Burial Agent could ask any question or say anything else to the servant, Ciel would hear a loud click. The helmet Mordred wore detaches itself and sinks into the heavy suit of armor the servant wore. Then to her surprise she would a young beautiful woman with tears falling down from her eyes and resting on her cheek. But these were not normal tears. They came in the form of black tar. Fortunately enough, it slowly went away. Now Ciel can feel the piercing gaze of this servant which she could feel was very, very powerful. Or at least at the top looking at the current roster of servants active in Chaldea. "You are my master? Hmph. For as long as you don't get in my way, I have no issues."

@[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu

The Burial Agent watched as the servant manifested in front of her. It was a heavily armoured figure. In a sense, it reminded her of the last servant she summoned, the King of Knights. The then heard the servant introduce herself as a Saber Class servant, Mordred. The voice sounded feminine. Ciel would recall that Mordred was the bastard child of King Arthur or perhaps the correct term was King Arturia. Though the Knight looked very menacing, Ciel would remain unfazed. Ciel would then see the helmet be removed. She then saw a face that looked very familiar. Though their was something different. But their was now no doubt about it, this was truly Mordred, the child of King Arturia. “I am Ciel, the Seventh seat of the Burial Agency and your master. As for your father, you missed her by a few weeks. Though it is possible she will be summoned again. As for getting in your way, the position of Seventh seat of the Burial Agency is not for show. Now then, do I need to explain to you what is going on?”

@ArbyOrNotToBe

Mordred was silent after Ciel introduced herself. Even after she mentioned the fact that King Arthur, or rather King Artoria, was her servant. She just beared this lazy, blank expression. But upon hearing that she holds the seventh seat of the Burial Agency, a single word leaves the Knight's lips. "Huh." Without answering her question, Mordred dashes forward. A trail of lightning following behind her as she goes to close the gap between her master. Ciel, at the corner of her eyes due to her sharp senses, would see that the servant had summoned a longsword. Looking like she is about to use it on her even after the servant summoned by her.

Ciel launched a barrage of black Keys at the saber class servant. She was going to prove her worth. She would also activate a special ability to stop her servant from fighting. "Have you had enough?"

Mordred doesn't react. However, she does wince from the barrage of black keys hitting her suit of armor. But surprisingly enough, she survives the first volley and chooses not to back down or retreat. Instead, she proceeds to raise her sword. With Ciel's experience with fighting servants in past singularities, she can see that Mordred is charging her attacks with mana. Then quickly, Mordred darts around Ciel with swift movement. Making it look like she had just teleported. Once in position, Mordred swipes her sword.

"Hm?" Mordred cocks a brow. Impressed that she had managed to dodge and/or parry each of her attacks. Simply showing the altered saber servant that she was indeed worthy of such a title. After attacking, Mordred brings her sword down in front of her to break all of the black keys that still connected to her armor piece. "I'm impressed. But also rusty, it seems." Saber comments. Still holding a stance to see if another set of attacks will begin.

"If you wish to continue to fight, I suggest we go to the virtual battle rooms. There we can go all out without damaging the facility or killing someone." said Ciel as her wounds started to rapidly heal.

"If we move, I'd lose my mood. Besides, I believe I've seen enough." Mordred then relaxes her stance and makes her sword disappear. After a moment passes, Mordred slowly enters spirit form before completely disappearing. Shortly sending a telepathic message through their bond. If you need me, I'll be in the virtual battle space. I still remember this place, Master. And with that, Ciel can sense her servant leave the room and presumably to the virtual battle space to train herself. (edited)

May this one stick around.. Said Jeanne to Ciel in her mind, feeling that the master established another Contract with another servant before it went silent again.

"I suggest you get some rest first.  I just hit you with several keys of providence, you will find your wounds will not heal unless you rest for a while.  Otherwise, you are free to do train as you please."

Her attention then shifted to ruler. "Hopefully. Also how long have you been watching?"

Combat ended. (edited)

No response. It seems her servant is stubborn and doesn't wish to acknowledge her advice. As expected from the so called "Knight of Rebellion."

Saw it all since you entered the room to do another summoning. Went on ahead and even clashed with her and look no worse than you were originally. 

It is safe to say that We are your servants went from being being a necessity to a luxury. You are powerful

That's all she really said on that from the somewhat distant Ruler.

"I still rely on heroic spirits to protect me and others.  If it wasn't for you I would have perished a long time ago.  As for saber, I am sure she was just a bit rusty from being summoned."

Hn *She only let out a small hum on that, this was the second or so time Mordred was out and about and it seems that the incident in the first singularity effected her. Nor are you the same master from the past, you have wised up and improved both in power and clarity

"I have but so have you.  I have seen you get stronger and stronger.  Though I feel I may be reaching my upper limits soon."

With that, Ciel would begin to make her exit from the summoning room.

Tao Dian’s first destination would be the summoning room; The sound of the flat of her heels clacking against the metal floor of the room echoing as she made her way. The Chaldean was amazed, of course, eyes wide as she gazed at the intricate machinery the facility contained. But once she arrived in front of the preexisting circle, she stopped. The room returned to silence with Tao Dian eyeing the curious circle with interest. “So this is how we are supposed to summon our servants? Interesting! I should give this a try!” The excited Chaldean cleared her throat before beginning her incantation. She channeled her magical energy into the circle, and it illuminated with an eerie white glow. “That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above, to accomplish a miracle. I call upon the souls of a legend of old to lend aid in the restoration of humanity before the brink of its destruction.” “An oath shall be sworn here. Your flesh shall serve under me, and my fate shall be with your sword. I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven; I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell.” “The father of all works of wonder throughout the whole world, come forth from the circle of restraint!”

11:42 AM

@Baka | Olga, Theisoa

As the Master Candidate chanted her words of power, with an ethereal glow, the intricate and delicate engraved magic circle embossed onto the lead panels set out to accomplish the ritual. A crackle of pure prana ripples through the pearly white room as it performed the sacred ritual of bringing form to a legend of ages past, the residual ether caught in the swirl of mana manifested, a miniature vortex came into form. Before Tao Dian's eyes, a brilliant lightshow far surpassing anything she's seen yet comes to form, the soft humming of the room became louder, the otherworldly glow began to manifest sorts of colors of the rainbow as the machine clocked into overdrive to support the existence of a new Heroic Spirit. Then, a miracle occurred - the appearance of True Ether. An element that hasn't existed since the end of the Age of Gods, said to have once formed the bodies of the Divinity of two eons past. As it manifested for a split second, it was as if a flash bang went off in the room. For a moment, all the room was caked in a blinding white light, but rather than pain... it felt truly... divine in presence. The scent of white lilies permeated through the room. For that moment, the master could see nothing but white, in the next, the True Ether has already dissipated, its job having been completed. In it's place... stood a young, ashen blonde male, his back turned behind the young Master. He reached to the ceiling, seemingly stretching his hands before a white willow branch manifested in his hands, which disappeared soon after. He muttered a few words in a foreign language unlike anything she's ever heard, seemingly not having noticed her presence yet. "Oqd... arw, aaf, fljli wayj, px jqiez xymx hystqwklw fr xzpw zzgsyrrfmgu eiq mf vvuqv..."

The surge of energy overwhelmed Tao Dian, exceptionally so due to the fact that she was an unranked magus— oblivious to such foreign magecraft. But, as the blinding light dimmed, the master could only watch in awe at the scene that has transpired before her. She had unconsciously held her breath asto not interrupt him; It was almost as if she was not meant to be there, beholding such a magnificent scene. Only after the branch disappeared into motes of nothingness and the speech was finished did she take a breath. “Servant,” she called out to the figure before her. “Tell me, what is your true name?”

@Baka | Olga, Theisoa jwfhjbrejhbfbety IM SORRY ITS SO SHOOORT

The servant turned around from his position to bring his view upon the magus who had summoned him, his gaze initially steely and cold, gazing upon her as if staring upon a strange new curiosity, the stare lasted for a fraction of a moment, before it quickly softened to a warm cyan as he recognized the one before him as the one who had called him forth from the Throne, and thus, his Master. "Ciik awsp, Dmwllv, dk rsti ze Lwyqve Xjpwdq- Ah, apologies, Master, would the language of the Albions be the language that you speak?" As he noticed the bewildered expression of the Magus when he initially spoke the language of the Niles, his tongue immediately shifted, to a speech far more familiar to the young Master. Watching as her face began to express understanding of his words with the shift in speech, he took the response to be yes before she could confirm. "Mm, very well. My apologies, Master, though the FATE system is certainly helpful with it's information, it's been many eons since I last spoke the English tongue, and it would seem that I had mistakenly defaulted back to that of the Egyptians. Once again, my sincere apologies." "As for your inquiry, my True Name would be that of the Hellenistic Deity, Hermes Trismegistos, the people of that time seem to have taken to calling me the 'Thrice-Greatest,' for some odd unknown reason. As for the Class container which you have bought this incarnation of mine foward in, it would be that of the 'Caster' class. It's my pleasure to meet you, Master."

”Hm, if that is the case, then I will simply learn the language of the Egyptians! You will teach me, of course, won't you?” Tao Dian said, before letting out a laugh. “Of course, it’s good that you are able to speak English, but the idea of a sort of secret code between the two of us sounds interesting to me. I don’t think we have many Servants from your time summoned here in Chaldea, nor do we have Masters who are able to speak ancient Egyptian.” With the Servant now fully turned to her, she would observe him more closely. At first glance, the young male before her may not look to be anything close to divine, but the miracle that she had witnessed prior to him taking form disproved that thought entirely. There was no doubt, this Caster was powerful. “And since you’ve introduced yourself, it’s only polite that I do the same. My name is Tao Dian, your Master. Refer to me however you wish. I honestly didn’t expect a Divine spirit to answer my call during my first summoning ritual, but I will not complain. Hermes Trismegistos,” she said as she extended her hand, a small smirk on the Master’s face. “The pleasure is mine.”

"Of course, Master, if that is what you wish. The tutoring of the Ancient Kemet tongue is well within my abilities, and I'll be more than receptive to any other requests of instruction. Though no less than two millenniums may have passed, the mortals of this age remains as inquisitive of the unknown as those during mine. A truly enviable trait, even if the others of my kind may not agree. A thirst for knowledge, that is the same reason for why I have answered your call." As the young Master extended her hand towards Hermes, he lifted an eyebrow in mild interest - even despite his lax nature, the humans of the Age of Gods had never once been so insolent to approach a member of Divinity in such a casual manner. Some of the more arrogant Gods might've even struck down the offender and their country in their 'Righteous' Divine Fury if they had dared to do as such... fortunately, for Dian, Hermes was a more than amiable God. Other than the singular expression of curiosity, he smiled warmly in response to his master's own, extending his hand to clasp hers firmly, before shaking... a handshake, such a mundane act, and yet, it was his first time to have performed such an act. Such was the lives of Divine Spirits. "Very well, Master Tao Dian, may our contract remain everlasting and equal."

She walks inside the room and places down her catalyst as she prayed for a good servant. "Hopefully this new heroic spirit I summon will be more agreeable and tolerable than Gil, not being teased constantly is nice." She sighs softly as she steps back and holds out her hand to the circle, charging it with mana while reciting the incantation as the room roared to life, the circle growing in power, brightness, and size as it powered up further and further "Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone. The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg. The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate. Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill).

@Rin Tohsaka (@SaberLily | Ayanami) - jump A powerful burst of energy exploded from the summoning circle as Castoria slowly descended to the floor.

The girl asked, offering her hand and a polite smile as her hat slowly slid down her face.

One step... another step... Here we are again. Well, no, Leopold has not used the summoning rooms before, since he went straight into Germania. He gave an impressed whistle, even he had to recognize they had done an impecable job making up this system, to transform it into something so accessible and that even a chimp could do. Eh, AHEM. But that was besides the question. Leopold stepped on front of the summoning ring, and his eyes were focused, while crushing the tributes he had prepared for this chance, spreading them through the circle. "Alright... Andersen is reliable and Blackbeard bears results, but both are... admittely, a pain in the ass to deal with. Let's hope this one isn't so much." With a clap of his hands, Leopold started the necessary incantations to begin the summoning process...! Come!

@Berry|Rav|Jes|Ushi|Yuyu when you can

The first thing to become visible through the smoke was.... A giant mass of lead-colored muscle? It was a inhumanly sized monster with dark metallic flesh, heterochromatic bright eyes and an outrageously crushing presence making the simple act of breathing almost impossible. The more simply stares down with its angular face that looks like the statue of some old deity. The red eye glowing in disparity in comparison to the golden one while his deep black hair floats in a way that somehow defies gravity.

The second figure to become visible was a maiden with hair mixed of gold and emerald. Her green eyes fiercely looking at the young man as she raised her chin as if discontent with the Master. "I really shouldn't be the one doing this..." She sighs, before raising the bow in her hand and pointing at herself with a hand to her chest while gesturing to the giant. "I am Archer. My True Name is Atalanta. This is Berserker, Heracles..." The cat eared and tailed girl frowned lets go of her bow which disappears in light particles befire crossing her arms. "... Come out and stop hiding yourself like a coward and make the presentations of your crew, useless Captain!" Archer shouts angrily.

"W-Wha--!?" The sound of something like a goose can be heard from behind the giant. "I-I am not hiding! I was waiting the smoke to die down to make a dramatic entrance like you, you scalded c--" And in an instant a bow materialized in the cat-girl's hand and something was shot at the voice's direction. "OUCH! OUCH! OUCH OUCH OUCH!" A golden figure wearing a way too revealing leather leotard walked out of the cover provided by Berserker. With a arrow stuck in its shoulder the Servant's tries to save face by xleaning his throat, forcing a arrogant smile and putting both hands by his hip. "I-I am Jason, Captain of Argo! I am the Servant you just managed to summon...! My Class is Saber and-- Saber? Wai-- AW! Hey!"

A purple haired figure, much smaller than the other three, quickly moves towards the Captain and immediately and skillfully removes the arrow with a trick of her wrist. She raises her hand over the wound and it closes in a pinkish glow. The girl turns to the Magus with a sincerely kind smile. As if telling she knew how it felt to see the lousy group for the first time. She didn't say a word, simply hugging her staff while stepping aside and standing behins the captain.

Leopold was honestly stunned. First, the Berserker's pressure was way too much to handle. He knew there were non-human Servants on Chaldea, but it wasn't just the case, it was like being in the presence of a living monster. However, he gathered his breath... And the second reason is... What the fuck did he just summon? Jason, captain of the Argo... Wait. The Argonauts?! Are these two companions supposed to be part of the Argonauts?! A sorceress, a hunter, a giant of a man, and their captain Jason... "..." He was left without words. But... Ahem, he had really struck gold! He had summoned a great figure from mythology! Though, on second thought. Something seemed fishy. Shouldn't a captain hold control of their own crewmates? "Ahem..." Finally gathering both his thoughts and the will to speak, he starts to talk to Jason "Greetings, Saber. If you are the captain of the Argo, you must be the great Jason. To you, and to you as well-" Speaking to his other comrades "-I greet you all into Chaldea." "Now... Explain something for me. How the hell can you summon Servants of your own just like that?" He was incredulous about this whole ordeal, and he sought for answers.

@Berry|Rav|Jes|Ushi|Yuyu

"Well... Yes, that's... That's what I just told you... Are you deaf or something? Do you need me to talk slowly so you can read my lips or...?"

The Archer clearly and strongly facepalms at the situation.

The Caster shakes her head with a very unenthusiastic expression in her face.

As soon as he is properly given praise, Saber widely smiles. Stuffing his chest as the hole in his armor by the shoulder closes in with particles of light until its fully recovered. "My, of course! As the leader of the greatest heroes in Greece I could only be the one to be summoned surrounded by them as my crew, right? With such a amazinf feat, it is only natural isn't it?" He proudly states as the other three Heroic Spirits move their gaze to him before staring back at Leopold again.

"He is completely useless without us." Archer points out simply and directly, to which both the other two nod in agreement. "You really don't even need to account him when it comes to our numbers."

@Thunder - LS | ED | DO | HT

"Aaaah... Got it, got it... Eeeer, and you three are...? I think the girl is Medea... The big one is... Heracles? Dunno. But no clue on you." He ignored the 'are you deaf' comment, but he started to assemble the whole picture. Yes. This guy was probably scum. "Well, Argonauts, welcome to our team. I am Leopold, and regardless of how useless or not your captain is, I'll take his strength. Because surely he must have some use if he managed to string 50 of you together, aye?"

@Berry|Rav|Jes|Ushi|Yuyu

She raised an eyebrow with a bit of a confusion. "I was the first to tell you my name." Archer points out with annoyance. "Archer-Class, Atalan--"

To clarify, he doesn't seem to recognize the name at all.

"It doesn't matter! Also ouch, even you Heracles!?" He seems to not be that fine with the crewmates and their opinions over his utility for the group. "I am the best Captain this crew could have. After all I alone reunited y'all..." He tried to recover face once more, clearing his throat one last time and snapping his fingers as if preparing for action. "What is the quest at hand? I guarantee you the Argonauts can solve any problem without any kind of difficulty!" He says with a somewhat serious expression. "Why have you summoned me?"

"Eeeh, didn't you Servants know that already? Alright, to fill you in... How about recovering Holy Grails, restoring Human Order, and saving the world? Surely a task for you, right?"

"Know what already? Oh... Hm. If it's just that... It will be way more than just easy. Right, Heracles?" He asks the unresponsive gisnt who just stares back in absolute silence. "As veteran heroes, it is only natural that we may have the best performance possible when the world is at stake!"

The Archer sighs, massaging her temples as if having a headache. "You really shouldn't pay attention to his bragging... To begin with, wasn't it supposed to have more of us here?"

"The Captain presents a fall in output quite often..." Caster says with a unsettled expression. "Out of half of our crew, only us three seem to have approved of his intentions and gave our consent to be on board."

"Oh, that makes sense- Wait, I don't remember giving any consent to this!"

@Thunder - LS | ED | DO | HT

... What the? The whole world is at stake and out of 50 people only 3 decided to actually do something? Leopold sighed. Heroes. That's why he doesn't like them. "Well, consent or not, you got a job to do. When the next Singularity is declared, you will come with me and do your best, alright? I know I might sound like a pain in the ass, but if we screw up, everybody pays for it! Got it?"

"Oh that DOES make sen- I MEAN, WHO NEEDS THEM! THESEUS!? IT'S NOT LIKE WE NEED TO KIDNAP ANY BABIES, RIGHT!?" Saber makes a pause. "We don't need to kidnap any babies, right?" He asks before changing his tone. "I mean... What about, hm, Asclepius? Medea's Noble Phantasm can do his job just fine! Right, Medea?"

"In truth, sir... I am not sure if I am able to release my Noble Phantasm at full power in such a situation..." She exclaims with the same expression of dread.

"Wait, what?"

"Now that she said it... I feel like my arrows wouldn't reach the feets of Lady Artemis and her brother either." Archer comments taking a hand to her chin. "What about you Heracles?"

"Hey, I said wai-"

Berserker raises the large sharpened rock slab in his left hand as he extends his right arm. The weapon goes down, chopping the arm cleanly off. They wait for a second, staring dreadfully at the Berserker's member that quickly disappears in particles of light after falling in the floor with a loud "thud".

Caster moves in as she ignores Saber's face become paler than the moon. "Yes, it is surely not regenerating as usual. His Noble Phantasm is not in use either..." She confirms with a slight and polite smile, immediately casting a spell on the bleeding hole, making the arm grow back once more.

The room gets silent as the Captain stares at the spot where the blood has touched the floor. The Master gives them his words. Saber keeps quite for a while. As if taking courage he raises his head and swallows whatever was there of fear and panic. "We... We will do it." He says with no remark of smirk, a voice trembling although there was some level of commitment and confidence put into it. "As heroes, it is our job... I... I..." He looks back at the blood in the floor. The pulse of his heart accelerating. He felt the eyes of his crewmates and Master on him. "There is... No way... W-we will fail, right?" He asks, mostly himself than anyone else.

@Thunder - LS | ED | DO | HT

))

"Given what our chances are, it is no option. Now, if there isn't anything else left to discuss, you may be free to go where you please."

The young girl would approach the summoning room, she's been here too many times to count. She began to think about her growth, going from shy and unable to speak to anyone without Sir; to becoming somewhat independant and believing in herself. She needed to gather as many servants as her body could supply in order to try save humanity. She would then begin to chant, an ominous glow rising from the summoning circle.

@Gurando (Draco, Nameless)

From within the summoning circle, a transparent clock ticked away. The small clock hand slowly ticked to the right, corresponding to the current time. As Gray chanted the summoning incantation, the time began to advance faster. From one minute to five, it flashed by in mere seconds. During the middle of a verse, it suddenly advanced from going five minutes to an hour in several seconds. As soon as she reached the end of the chant, it stopped at the Roman numeral of 12 and caused the symbol to glow a bright green. That was the final sight Gray saw before the rest of the summoning circle was enveloped within a veil of light. It was strange to think how a single moment in time can determine how the future plays out. A single fleeting moment which was controlled by various factors and events that happen within that single instance. Humans lived out their whole lives, jumping from one moment to the next. It wasn’t to say that their whole lives was predetermined. Far from it. The present was time that had yet to be unaltered, unchanged. It was moldable to the people living inside that bubble of time. However, not everyone has managed to truly grasp that single moment within time. And he is– The light began to fade, revealing a figure standing on the summoning circle. Roman numerals ranging from 1 to 12 hovered behind him in a clockwise formation. He was dressed strangely, clad in a black spandex suit beneath armor. “Ah, summoned. How quaint.”

@Fl, Wi, Ab, Yu

The girl let out a soft gasp, being no stranger to such bizzare magic such as time altering. She began to look upon her new servant with a soft smile, her hood kept up and her eyes glaring down to avoid eye contact. She had very little idea on WHO this was, Gray wasn't knowledgable on servants like many trained magus. She would try to ask him who he was, but her words didn't come out. Opening her mouth as if to speak, but going quiet again.

The man tilted his head, hearing the small gasp from the girl in front of him. He felt the link between both of them solidify, ultimately establishing them as Master and Servant. He wondered if the girl was simply shy. That could explain why she was seemingly opening her mouth to speak yet no words left her lips. The man didn’t mind it at all, however, and stepped forward. “I assume you’re my Master, miss.”

@Kairos, Fleeting Opportune Moment (@Gurando (Draco, Nameless)) - jump "A-ah, yes! I am, its me!" A flustered woman suddenly replied as she'd raise her head. She felt almost nauseous, as if the mana drain on her was quite substantial. Her head was fully hidden by her cloak, only a cube in a bird cage and a small, anxious mouth and gentle blush was visible to the servant.

“No need to be so nervous, my lady. I do apologize if my appearance is a little discomforting to you.” The man went down to one knee before her. Because of his height, he was now at eye level with her. His new Master wouldn’t be able to see through the helmet, only peering into the cartoonish eyes on his visor. Still, she would get the feeling that he’s regarding her with a warm smile.

@Kairos, Fleeting Opportune Moment (@Gurando (Draco, Nameless)) - jump "Ah, no! No, No! My apologies I just...I-" Abruptly, the cube sprung to life as she immediately knew what was going to happen. Attempting to put a hankerchief over his cage as he shrieked. "HEY, WHO'S THIS GUY!? WHY'D YOU PUT ME TO SLEEP?!" The cube demanded answers, Gray looking more paranoid and petrified. Like a child who's parent caught them out past curfew. She looked down in embarrassment and shame as she stumbled her words. "Add...This is my ne-new...Servant, please be kind to them." She commented, not really sure how to calm the cube in this scenario.

Strange. One usually didn’t expect a sentient Mystic Code. While the Servant wasn't too familiar with magic (on account of him not needed to use it), he was sure that usually, creations like these required a high amount of knowledge and training. The man tilted his head again, processing the newfound discovery. “It is no problem. But in my haste, I have forgotten to introduce myself.” Standing up, the man took a dramatic bow. Like a gentleman thief from the novels, he had a flair for the dramatics. He wasn’t putting on an act or anything of the sort. This was how he genuinely is even after becoming a Servant. “I am a humble Pseudo-Servant summoned by you, my dear Master, from the Throne of Heroes. As you have grasped the moment to summon me, so too I have grasped the opportunity to answer your call.” He finally looked up from his bowed position, the insides of the visor finally glowing a dark green. “Please call me...Kairos.”

@Fl, Wi, Ab, Yu

Asteria walked on in, a small smile on her face as she hummed a soft tune. She of course was sad that Vee wasn't here anymore. But she knew that Vee would come back eventually... In any case she needed to summon a servant, it's quite difficult not having one on hand with what they fight... So she gets set up in the summoning room and does her little chant to summon.

6:43 PM

Allowing the system to do its thing in order to someone suitable for the idol~!

( @Tyonis Shiki whenever yer free~

@Tyonis Shiki

Golden orbs of magical energy spun in candance with her words, increasing in speed until they suddenly stopped and coalesced into the center, ripping a hole in space and time. The spheres of power then exploded out, filling the room with light. At the epicenter of the explosion stood a man with a greatsword thrust into the ground in front of him. Both hands rested upon the pommel and his eyes were solemnly closed. He was a goliath of a man, towering over most both vertically and horizontally. Even so, his tone of voice came off as mellow but firm and unyielding. "I am Sir Gawain, Knight of the Sun and 3rd of the Round Table, summoned into the vessel of a Saber. I ask of you, are you my Master?"

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

The idol blinks a moment before her eyes light up. She makes on over to Gawain, her elven ears twitching a bit in a cute manner out of happiness of seeing a familiar face being summoned. "Yup yup!! It's nice to meet you again Gawain! My name is Asteria, Asteria Caelestis! Just the resident idol of Chaldea. I can't wait to be working alongside you."

3:32 AM

@Tyonis Shiki

Gawain's eyes slid open and he smiled slightly. "It is good to see you again, Magus Caelestis. I recall Silk spoke admirably of you and treated you as her mentor. I shall do my upmost to protect you. What would you have me do?"

Asteria nodded quite happily after hearing that Gawain had retained his memories of their previous encounters. She already knew that it was quite uncommon for servants to remember previous things after being resummoned... "Ehehe, I'm happy Silk thought that way... Hopefully whatever she's doing now is going well for her. As for what to have you do... Hmm... How about we hang out for now? The rayshift for the remnant singularities are getting kicked off soon."

Excalibur Galantine vanished like mist as Gawain stepped around it. "I have no qualms with that, Master Caelestis. Come, I shall happily cook a meal for you to celebrate our reunion! I still remember where the kitchen is."

"Ehehe, alright!! But how bout we cook together! Aaaaalso, no need to call me Master Caelestis! Just call me Asteria, or maybe some nickname you can come up with." Asteria lets out a small chuckle and starts towards the door, a little bit of a boing boing in her step. Both boing as in she boings, and boing as in she's literally hippity hoppitying.

Gawain watched with avid fascination as he fell in step behind Asteria. "So be it, Asteria," Gawain agreed readily.

walking into the summoning room Ilia wanted to try her shot at summoning a servant. She hoped this time they would not be lazing around. Not really caring who she got as a servant she set up the summoning Circle then started to chant "Fill." "Fill." "Fill." "Fill." "Fill." "Repeat five times. But destroy each when filled." "A base of silver and steel." "A foundation of stone and the Archduke of Contracts." "A wall to block the falling wind." "The gate of all four directions close." "From the Heavens, come forth and follow the forked road to the earth." "I hereby propose." "My will shall create thy body.. and thy sword shall create my fate." "If thou dost accede to this will and reason, answer me!" "Thou, clad with the Great Trinity, come forth from the circle of constraint," "Guardian of the Heavenly Scales!" @Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

There is a Presence looming in the room. It's not the Servant she is summoning though. He remains unseen.

@Illyasviel/Grail of humanity (@Grim)) - jump In response to the request of the summoner, the system answered in response to the ritual. Bright blinding lights flashed as a woman with the same colored hair as the summoner was brought forth. Once the lights died down there in front of Illya stood a familiar figure clad in a dress of heaven. She opened her eyes after being summoned and took in her surrounding. She took notice of who it was that summoned her and froze upon seeing Illyasviel. She didn't know this girl and yet she wanted to hug her immediately. She could make some guess on who this was based on her looks alone and the fact that Irisviel herself was a servant now. To think that she would be summoned by... This made her wonder was that man here too? Oh she could only hope so! "It seems you have Summoned me, My name Is Irisviel von Einzbern but I have the suspicion that you already knew that." She smiled at Illya, one that only a mother could give to their child.

usually common composed in this moment she was just silent and shocked. Based on her knowledge even if the summoning system here was weird this was out of order. She looked at the woman her mother stepped back for a second before saying "...mom..." tearing up a little bit she went to go hug the servant

@Illyasviel/Grail of humanity (@Grim)) - jump Seeing that Illya was going for a hug, Irisviel welcome the hug with open arms. Hugging the daughter she never had in her time tightly, she wouldn't let go until Illya felt she was ready to break the hug.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier I was a bit busy in a couple things happened))

it would take a minute but she managed to compose. She then released her grip and said "I- I'm glad to have you back at least temporarily. But how did you come back as a servant though? especially with the dress of Heaven?" * she asked as she didn't even know how another Holy Grail essentially summoned another vessel for the Holy Grail like this* @Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

@Illyasviel/Grail of humanity (@Grim)) - jump "That's a bit complicated... But to sum it up nice and quickly, I'm an Irisviel from a different timeline, I'm not the one you knew as I never had a kid in my time." She was still questioning how she was able to be summoned herself but she would figure it out later or something. "I hope you'll be able to accept me even if I'm not the Irisviel you knew." She really did want to get to know this daughter of hers, to see what she could've had if things went different.

Right then. It is time for this being to fulfill it's purpose. Even with most of it's features being unavailable, it's Magical Energy is freely available. There's no need to take a deep breath, it merely assumes the correct position, extends it's arm and.. "Initiating Summoning Protocol." and so the being began the summoning chant, closing it's eyes to properly focus on the process. "I call forth into time To heroes of legend Through wishes crystallized One of the individual One of the collective And one of civilization These are the final wishes of humanity. As I stand upon the infallible boundary, before the brink of its destruction, Take form from legend, armed to fight once more. From the collapse, we will forge a path. And from that path, we will carve a future. Through you, I embody change. And through me, you embody will. To those written into legend, of Heroes and Villains, from Men, from Kings, from Gods. To those who hail to heed the call Come forth in duty, from desire, under will."

@Shiki Nanaya

as light engulfed whe whole place, a hunched back, small figure appeared where the 'Servant' should've been. Surely this seemed wrong. But the amount of magic this figure expelled was... ominus, and quite huge. "Keke....kekekekekek! From the summoning of a Hero, an Evil comes by, to do your bidding... Oh little mas- huh? Well, now this is..." Light disappeared, leaving place to this hunched back woman, dressed in... rags of the sort? With a mask covering her face and white hair popping from her cape, it was clear this servant was... quite old. "Oh cluster of magic, creation of mankind, do tell this Servant, Are you My Master?" As the servant asked the question, she took off her mask, and with a momentary shine, a young aged face was under it, weirdly enough. Maybe it was magic, maybe it was not, but her ominus aura and pressure remained there, waiting for the summoner's answer. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/956194600131903521/1017048981072773181/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/956194600131903521/1017048830740549652/unknown.png

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

"That is my role, correct." "I will be supporting you, Servant." The Homunculus with no name is not intimidated. It is not scared. It is very aware that it can just be remade should it be hurt. Fear is something Humans possess. It is not one.

"OHHH, ohhh! how fitting!" The servant quickly inched close, while looking at her Master. "For a Master to have devil's wing, it is only obvious you'd call upon me, the Amalgamation of the devil!" "But, where are my manners... keke, well, Servant Caster, Baba Yaga, has come to respond your summons."

"Caster, understood." "Correction, these are not demonic in nature. These wings are Draconic."

"Draconic, eh? A bit disappointed... Also, no reaction when I told you my name... I wonder, have you no human emotions, or have you no fear? " The Caster was a bit upsett at the missing reactions. Not that she wanted a puppet master that'd fear her, but... Just a reaction of the sorts. After all, it wouldn't be any fun if there wasn't one.

"There is nothing to fear." "Would you like me to be more reactionary?"

"Perhaps it is common sense you're missing then. Youngun, you're a creation of the sorts, aren't cha? Your magic shows it, and your body does it too." Let's see her reaction to this "Why would your creator give you draconic feature's beyond me, but a thing is for sure... You're not living a long life with that body..."

The being shakes it's head. "My Body and Soul may be artificial, however it is the Materials I have been made out of that will allow me a longer life than most others of my kind." "These Wings are merely a side product of said Materials, an unfortunate imperfection that cannot be fixed." "My Creator claimed that it, and I quote, 'Adds to my Charm', or so he had said."

well now, that is.... unexpected. An expert maker of homunculi in this age? Certainly worth knowing... "Well, that is a point. It adds quite the bit of charms, those little devilish wings of yours, kekeh" With a devilish smile, Baba started to slowly creep her hands, almost to reach the wings, before stopping "Well, so? Don't you think there is something else you need to tell me?"

"I currently do not have a name to go by, if that is what you wish to know."

"ohhh! There is room for improvement then, yer'insightful!" Baba then inched close to her head, swiping slowly her finger on the face of the nameless one... "Nameless huh... безымянный ((read: bezymyannyy)) Bezy? That'll do. Bezy'll do for each and any of my summons, small or big have names! And you too are now a part of my little friends crew! kekeke!" As she finished her phrase, from her shadow a crow appeared, prowling on Baba's shoulder. "his name... He's Vor."

"Bezy it shall be." The First Smile. She seems to like it. "It is nice to meet you, Baba Yaga, Caster." "and you, Vor."

she... she's improving as we speak. This is no standard homunculi! NO, THIS IS MAGNIFICENT! The crow leaked a bleak cry, before Baba Yaga spoke again "Very well then, now, how about we get out of here and, while showing me around, you can tell me your... strong points, so that i can tell you mine and we can work out a strategy for the future. Sure, I may not be the kindest, but there can't be evil without good and humanity, so the better and faster we work, the better for me. And you."

"I excel in improving my Employers Magecraft, therefore it is quite efficient for me to have summoned a Caster." "I have other Skills as well, such as caring for Animals, Cleaning, Cooking and First Aid." "I possess a great amount of Magical Energy due to the Draconic Materials used in my Creation. I am something similar to a Walking Battery for Magical Energy." Bezy is no standard Homunculi, no. It can be considered something of a grander scale. ..Of course, it is no perfect being. "I have memorized the Layout of Chaldea. Where would you like to head to first?"

"Let us head somewhere were we can sit and talk with ease, shall we." "Oh... Yeah, i can certainly feel the magic connection... A Strong one too. Releasing the Noble Phantasm shouldn't be a problem at all..."

"Somewhere where we can sit and talk with ease.." "[My Room], perhaps?"

"That is probably a wise choice. Its unwise to let other know of our... features, shall we call them so?"

"I am afraid I do not understand what you mean." "All of our Abilities are at Chaldeas disposal, are they not?"

"W-well yes my dear but..." Is she so trusting?! This is like having a blank white sheet, ready to be blackened.... "You always need to have some ace in the hole my dear or.." as she says so, the crow disappears into the shadows with another bleak cry "... You'll never be ready when you're taken by surprise"

"..My Capabilities are unknown by the Enemy. However if you are instructing me to hide my abilities from our Allies as well then I shall do as such."

sigh... " Not hide them from allies, but not disclose all of them. You never know when an ally could be taken and made to talk. Charms are a powerful magic, dear Bezy"

"..Logical. I shall be keeping my abilities to myself in the future."

"Good, Good. Anyways, show me the way then..."

The Being now known as 'Bezy' nods. Without another word, it promptly turns around and moves for the exit. Expecting it's Servant to follow.

"Oh, Just to let you know, while you've seen Vor, there are many other i can summon, as well as myself..." With that, Baba Yaga proceeded to transform herself in owl, resting on Bezy's shoulder, while comunicating telepathycally like this, so that my form is... less conspicuous. I tend to... unnerve normal humans after all

"Convenient." With that, let us take this to her Room Thread.

Bezy had returned to the Summoning Room not that long after summoning Baba Yaga. Yes, it's Circuits can still handle more Ghost Liners- and its role in Chaldea is that of a Master. Is it not just correct to continue summoning until nobody comes? "I call forth into time.." It doesn't matter who answers. The Homunculus will support them either way. It is but a Tool. So the being continues it's chant. having closed it's eyes to properly focus- to not be blinded by the brilliant light filling the room.

6:34 PM

@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵

The figure of a relatively tall woman, with apparent demonic horns, began to materialise, as a light illuminated the room. This woman had a look that could be said to be attractive, in a way. She began to arrange her hair slightly, as well as her dress, the skirt of which exposed one leg. It seems she wasn't looking forward to this moment. With a firm voice, the woman decided to speak. "Greetings. So, you've decided to summon me. I guess you are my master. What a cute master... I'm sure we'll get along fine. Or so I think...? Who knows...?" She smiled, with a small grimace on her face. "Oh dear, I forgot. I have to give an introduction of my own, don't I?" She made a gentle expression, questioning herself a little. Heck, you do need to introduce yourself! "Assassin-class, La Sayona. Nice to meet you. Please, do call me Sayona." "I am sure that I will teach you several things that will be useful....~" Sayona was calm, although with a certainly intriguing aura, it seems that she is not what she seems to be.

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat sorry for the late response wAAaAah

"It is good to meet you, Assassin." "I have been named Bezy, but if that name is not suitable for you then please call me what you'd wish." The Homunculus didn't so much as flinch at it's Servants appearance. In fact, this Homunculus seems to be barely emoting at all. "I will be supporting you to the best of my capabilities."

"Oooh, so, your name is Bezy. I'm fine with that name. I feel like it goes a lot with you." Sayona nodded. "Well, well, well~ I hope you are true enough to your word, if so." She seems to like you. Don't worry, I don't think she'll do anything to you for now. "Keep it up~"

"Understood." "I shall keep doing as I have been, then." "I am afraid you will have to share my Room with Caster, but otherwise it is free for you to decorate as you wish." Bezy was not worried in the slightest. It wasn't that it didn't recognize the dangers of ghost liners- But it was also very aware of the Protection Masters had. "If there is anything you need, I shall do my best to procure it for you."

"Ah, so, I have a roommate... To say so." Her eyes close in determination. "And that means, I'm not your first summon, then...." Sayona is interested. Who would be this Caster-class Servant with whom she will share a room...? Who knows... "Thank you very much. I appreciate your helpfulness. I don't think I plan to decorate the room for the moment. Although, I might want to have dinner soon. I have a pretty specific diet. ~" She smiled.

"Do tell me the details of your diet." Even though it's aware that Servants have no need to eat, It will oblige it's servants requests nonetheless.

"You see, I like to murder unfaithful men. I also love those who are careless and drunks, but I kill those less frequently. That way, I can satisfy myself, and then, I get my mana like that. That's why I call it a "diet", somehow." Sayona's cheeks flush slightly. "I hope I don't ask for too much~" She giggles.

"I'm afraid that I cannot provide that." "I am neither a man nor in a relationship." "Well, I can be a Man if you prefer, but I am unable to meet the other qualifications."

7:53 PM

"Thankfully, Chaldeas and I will be able to provide you with the magical energy needed to sustain you normally."

"I see..." She nods. "I'd rather you didn't. You're my Master, after all. I'd rather it was with some stranger..." Her strange nobility makes her admire them. "Alright... Pretty nice. Then, I have no other suggestions. That's all. Thanks. ~"

"Understood." The Homunculus also nodded. "Is there anything else I need to know?"

"Not exactly. I don't have much to tell you right now. We'll know about each other through this time. ~"

"Understood." "In that case, I shall conserve my energy for my next summoning." "If you have any questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability."

"Alright, thanks. I do not have many questions at the moment." Sayona fixes her own hair. "I'll just wait for whatever is ahead of us."

With that, the Homunculus nods once more in understanding, and headed for the exit. Whew. Summoning sure is exhausting, especially in rapid succession like that.

With a speaker connected to the phone, Kaze's closing his eyes, entering the... zone From the speaker, a Japanes voice could be heard, seemingly an announcer?.... "Coming Down the ring, weighting at 107 Kg, and at a massive 191 cm tall, he hails from Toooooookyo, Japan.... HE IS, KAZEEEEE.... 'RAINMAKER' DOUUUUJI!" From the speaker a loud noise of people could be clearly heard, as Kaze entered the summoning room. "And his tag team partner..." click Kaze stopped the recoding, adding to the announcement, mimicking his style. "HE IS, My servant, Coming from the Throne of Heroes, A mighty Hero Himself! Come, Show me your Entrance, and TRY and shine as bright as me!"

@felice | 🥜/🧓/👮🏻/🤺/💳 you're never getting a better summoning than this

And so, to match such a maestoso call to summons, an equally grand answer is order. A flicker of golden light would mark the beginnings of the true miracle of man that the Japanese wrestler would soon witness with his own two eyes. The light would spin, accelerating until it reached upwards into a pillar of pure brilliance. For the second time, a familiar construct would rebuild itself, replacing the quaint walls of the summoning room. It was similar to a colosseum, with intricate decorations carved into its aged walls and cracks acting as proof of the erosion caused by time's firm grasp. The pitch black sky was contrasted by the tiny, twinkling gleams of the stars. And before long, a deep baritone voice would call from its center. "What an excitable voice… It would seem that another one from Chaldea has requested my aid once more." The figure would soon reveal himself to be a young man; His entire body seemed to glow with a regal vigor, as if untouched by the throes of time. His body was heavily armored with lustrous steel, with a deep carmine robe rested upon his right shoulder. Fine strands of gold framed the sides of his angular face and extended into a short braid; His eyes were bejeweled by blazing Amber. His lips were curved into a slight smile, crinkling his eyes which gleamed under the dim blaze of the stars above– truly, the visage of a King. "Here is my entrance!" he called out once more. "By the grace of God, I have been granted a chance to once again become the sword which rends the evil that threatens humanity. Called upon in the class container of Saber, my true name is Richard I, the Lionheart– monarch of England. And now, I ask of you: Are you my Master?" (edited)

5:16 AM

@Shiki Nanaya the king accepts your challenge-- I hope his answer is satisfactory skasmile

oooh! oooooooh! Lionheart... That's... couldn't ask for a better servant! Container of saber? Well, that's to be told later, but anyway... Kaze's face was shining in the darkness of this... Illusion? Even in his badly shapen state, Kaze could feel the magic swirling around. " I shall not be your master. I shall be your partner, that whom'll fight together with you, and if you wish it so, even a soldier of the sorts. For we're a team! And while I shan't put myself to the level of a king, I strive to move forward, to reach the unreachable!" @felice | 🥜/🧓/👮🏻/🤺/💳

“Haha, I see that my current summoner is an eager one!” he replied with a spirited laugh as he approached the other blond-haired man. “Very well, I accept these terms.” Richard then offered his right hand as an invitation to shake his hand. “My soldier, my comrade in arms… I will watch your back as you do mine. This is my vow as one who has been summoned to assist you. And as such, I refer to you by none other than your name. Tell me, what shall I call you?”

11:58 PM

@Shiki Nanaya Sorry for the late reply! I should be more consistent now that I have more time off goldenthumb

Kaze shook his hand happily, knowing that... He'd just met a strong one. A good one too! "The name's J- Kaze." a moment of shadow appeared on Kaze as he was about to say his name. "Kaze Douji, known as the 'Rainmaker'. Kaze's fine tho." "Still... Richard the First huh. Of all servants i could've summoned, never did I think the king of Eng-ah... is this a twisted joke of fate I wonder..." @felice | 🥜/🧓/👮🏻/🤺/💳 (just to be clear, the guy's a brit, who's run away and now under new alias)

”I will refer to you as Kaze, then, just as you may refer to me by my name.” His Master’s change in expression did not elude Richard, but he decided not to question it for now. And as the contract was finalized, the illusion of the colosseum-like structure disintegrated back into its true form. “Fate is a funny thing,” Richard noted on his Master’s comment. “It is not uncommon for one to find himself in an unexpected situation. In such a situation, it is important for him to maintain a clear head, for the way out may be just as unexpected as the situation itself.” “—But let us save that conversation for another day. We have more pressing matters to attend to, do we not, Kaze? Let us head out. Allow me to demonstrate to you my capabilities as the famed Lionheart!” (edited)

ooh, straight to the point, huh? well, that's good. "Yes, We should do as much. Let us see if we can figure out our strong and weak points, and work to hone them together."

”I look forward to fighting by your side, then,” Richard said with a firm nod. “Would you care to lead the way?”

"Ayup. Err- I'm still not that accustomed to this place, I'm still figuring out my place, but yeah." "So- Saber. I'm just as you can tell, I'm not much of a mage due to... problems of the past, but i'm a good fighter. I've developed and improved my body, and mastered the art of grapple, choking and such." "I suppose you're well versed with the sword in this case? I mean, you are Saber, right?"

”You are a martial artist then? I see… The Master I previously served was a mage, so this will be a new experience for me as well.” His smile seemed to widen slightly at the mention of his skills. “You are correct, my main armament is a sword due to my class. But if the situation calls for it, I may utilize other weapons or fighting styles. If you wish for me to take up a new skill— relating to combat or not— that is also well within my capabilities.”

ArbyOrNotToBe started a thread. 2022-10-17 11:26 PM

all was silent in the summoning room, there was no one in it nor was it barely ready to make a summon yet. With no mana sources to feed on to make a servant. But soon, the lights dimmed themselves as the FATE mechanism started coming to life. The summoning circle glowing as a bright light started to fill the room! However, there was a problem... the light started to become darkened, corrupted as it started to turn into a pitch black. Demon pillar tentacles squirmed out of the light and onto the floor, as if they were scouting for any possible dangers. As the darkness starts dissipating, the tentacles creep back into the darkness as when the darkness was gone... it left a helpless nun on the ground. The Womb Realm Mandala burned into the cold metal on the floor. As she looks... confused @Danni

Another tiresome day for the future Ideal King, training with his servants was certainly difficult work considering just how different the two were despite their similar origin. For the time being he was simply content to wander around the hallways and read his book, for the time being he was grateful for the peace and quiet that allowed him to reflect on his thoughts. He would likely have time when he got back to manage his multi - million assets outside of Chaldeas when he arrived back to his room, but then... "Hmm? Is someone performing a summon this late..." He shrugged to himself upon hearing the nearby room boom with activity, though passing by the room proper he could only make out one figure. It was quite easy to assume that it was another master who had failed to call upon a servant, Leonardo still had yet to learn the true differences between a servant's mana and that of another magus. With a sigh his book shut and was pocketed, he walked into the room and knelt by the side of the currently prone nun. "Hmm I don't recognize your face..." He said trying to take in her full form and seeing if he had remembered her from somewhere. There were quite a few nuns here though he couldn't match her to any of the ones he'd seen. "Heh, first time summoning is always the hardest though no need to be ashamed!" He said offering his hand and a suddenly rather cheery tone.

@Kouhai |Echo|ArcMC|Maou|Musashi

she looks up at the man who just came in, looking at him with a bit of fear. Before sighing in relief as he knelt down and cracked a joke, gently taking his hand "T-Thank you, sir..." she said a bit embarrassed while blushing "I-I um... a bit new to this whole servant and master thing." she said, dusting herself off and then holding her arm "W-Who might you be?" she asks as she tilts her head, looking a bit down at him but not by much "M-My name is... Kiara Sessyoin. You can just call me Kiara though." she said with a gleaming smile!

@Danni

"No need to thank me, just one master looking out for another after all!" He noted before taking her hand and helping her back up with some effort, he certainly was far from the strongest master here. "Yeah I could kind of tell, you've got that whole confused look on your face mastered down to a tee!" He teased again though also noted just how warm she was, perhaps this was a consequence of the summoning process but usually the master would be drained from it. It was something he'd have to be careful for in the near future. "Kiara hmm? Leonardo Harway then... though I haven't heard your name before here. Did you just arrive today perhaps?"

@Kouhai |Echo|ArcMC|Maou|Musashi

(Btw you can roll insight on anything I say)

(will likely do so if he suspects something)

she blushes a bit as he teases her, waving her hand a bit as she smiles "I-I only have been here a week. Going through training and all of that." she said with a giggle "Still pretty new here, barely learned of any faces. Haven't even learned the layout of this place! It all seems like a... maze." she said as she looks down the the Mandala "Has that... always been there?" she said, a bit worried that she was found right in the middle of it

@Danni

"Well that explains a lot, surprised you're still in one piece attempting the summoning ritual so early during your time here!" He noted chalking up the fact he hadn't run across this woman before to her being both a newcomer and likely spending most of her first week here lost and trying to find the cafeteria or any other basic accommodation. Perhaps they'd put more maps here in the near future, but that hope was far off given how much of the budget went into servant and master training. "Oh? Hmm could be the mark leftover by another master who attempted a summoning before... there have been stranger catalysts used in the past."

@Kouhai |Echo|ArcMC|Maou|Musashi

"I... I see, well um... I am a bit weak and I sleep in the uncomfortable... mass rooms. Mind if I sleep somewhere, more comfortable?" she asks, as she looks at him "Or are you also in one of these rooms where they crowd you up with people?" she said as she tilts her head

@Danni

(Sorry for the double ping, forgot I pinged you already)

"Mmm..." Leo mused to himself knowing they categorized his room as a private quarters, but between himself and his three servants it certainly felt rather cramped. The mass rooms were likely far more accommodating in that regard, though turning her down felt wrong so the future ideal king would be merciful. "Perhaps we could discuss this with a staff member, I'm certain they'd be willing to accommodate you somehow should your current conditions be... unsavory."

@Kouhai |Echo|ArcMC|Maou|Musashi

"Shhhh, it will only be tonight so i can get a bit of mana back into my system so i can resummon again. We can make arrangements, right?" she asks as she puts her hand on his cheek "We can make this one exception... right~?"

(Wanna have me roll persuasion?)

9:37 PM

@Danni

"Well..." She was coming on a little too fast, Leonardo couldn't help but be a little suspicious of this whole charade. The gut feeling of a ship ramming into the sharp rocks of the sea side after being lured by the siren's song. Though she seemed mostly harmless, surely she only needed a place to stay for the night right? Well she'd still likely be devoured by either Tristan or Gawain should things take a rather foul turn for the worst. "A-aha, you really are rather forward aren't you? Not really my type though I'm afraid--" He said still a little flustered from this whole situation.

@Kouhai |Echo|ArcMC|Maou|Musashi

"I am not trying to be forward with anything, Mr.Harway... I am just trying to sleep in a comfortable bed for once~ and not sleep on hard concrete~" she said as she puts her hands together as if to say "please"

"...Ugh fine," He relented finally knowing quite well she'd probably just take his bed and force him to sleep outside for the evening, that was fine he did have plenty to work on that would justify another all nighter. Though Gawain would certainly admonish him for the lack of sleep, but it was something he could live with at least. "Just a fair warning, don't interact with my other servants more then necessary they are rather terrifying at worst and pretty hard to deal with at best. Just focus on getting a good night's rest and I'll secure you a room come morning..." He relented, his hand going to his forehead as he felt a rather harsh headache coming on.

@Kouhai |Echo|ArcMC|Maou|Musashi

she smiles as she hugs him tightly "T-Thank you Mr.Harway!" she said as she was filled with joy "I-It is pretty late right now, so if you want to we can sleep right now." she said with a smile "I-I don't mind us sharing a bed."
