I think a part of the post explosion likely has to do with the guild being finicky and everyone posting when it goes back up again.

L.A.D. --- Living Alchemic Drive RP

It seemed she wasn't the only one to not speak up until all of this happened; thankfully, they seemed to have enough sense about them to realize that a fight now wasn't a good idea. She didn't want to confront the others about what she perceived as being a bit hotblooded; they were team mates, and needed to reach an understanding. Right now, her life was in taters, but there was little she could do. While she didn't treat the situation casually, she could push forward and try to make the most of it as a person.

At least, that's what she told herself. She was barely holding herself together on the outside, and that was with her particularly good skills with charisma and acting as she needed.

Regardless-

"Guys, I know you want to fight, and I can understand why you'd want to make this enemy pay. They're the enemies of humanity...But we're here to train, and become strong. We're nothing in the face of this enemy right now. Lets do our best to change that with time- but this is a hopeless battle, even for the adults." She said her piece with a steady enough tone. While she was nervous on the inside, speaking to groups of people was in her element, so it calmed her down a bit and made it easier.

Anything to get her mind off of this. She had already absorbed all the information, and despite being a strong willed girl, doing nothing can eat away at you right before combat. She wasn't sure if it was excitement or fear, but she needed to do something else before it got the best of her.

Katyusha turned toward the girl who was reaching for a granola bar and smiled warmly in approval of what she had said. However, a little bit of worry showed itself in the smile. She was bottling her emotions in, but this situation was stressful.

"I'm Katyusha. What's your name?" Getting at least one persons name was worth the likely awkward reaction. At the very least, it would get their minds off the current situation while the adults started making decisions. There was little they could do right now but wait the few seconds for everyone to be ready to leave the room.

[ Caster, Backyard, Ryuudouji Temple]

"Oh, I see where your priorities are regarding conversations with others, Master. I suppose I'll need to make sure it doesn't happen again."

The speed of a servant isn't to be underestimated. A normal human cannot even comprehend their speed for a single moment. Of course- Magi are no exception. No matter how good a magus they are, they're certainly still "human". There are certain limits to what a normal body can and cannot do, no matter the level of magical potential it has, at least for modern magi. Of course, Skuld was not held to such limits.

She was a servant.

A simple single action spell threw up a "shadow" of magical energy, obscuring everything behind it in a black haze. It was naturally between Skuld and Rei, as to make sure he couldn't see anything go on.Before his chant was even started, the attack, under the cover of this magical energy began. Dashing forward at a speed that anyone within humanity couldn't even comprehend, Skuld began an all out attack on Christelle.

Unfortunately, there was no way to take her clothing off without destroying it.

So she just settled for groping her and inspecting most of her body through her habit. "Most" meaning all of her body.

"Don't worry master, I'm just making sure your body is pure enough to serve the Church.

It'll be all over soon.

I promise."

Katyusha had kept silent, and stood next to the other children unflinching. While she was still a girl, she had become quite adapt at things like this. She was a social girl, and a popular one at that; hiding your emotions, giving off fake confidence, and so on were all part of being an idol. So while she stood there, doing nothing, she thought and absorbed all the information being thrown out. While the other children interacted, tested the waters with their "Father", and that "Father" responded, the gears in her brain were moving at overdrive. While having time to think and take in everything was nice, she also wanted to blend in. If she were to talk right now Katyusha may have gotten recognized, and it was best to just be scenery right now.

By the time the man offered snacks, she had reached conclusions, but this wasn't the time to worry about them. She had listened carefully to what he said during that call, and prepared to leave. She stood by the snacks waiting for it to be time to go. While she would've liked to know these peoples names, this likely wouldn't be a good time, just like how going over what she had figured out needed to wait. As it was, there wasn't much to do but prepare and leave.

However, she noticed some of her soon to be comrades react to the news of the Cruxi's arrival. Her face darkened somewhat. While it was perfectly fine to be excited for battle, clearly they weren't prepared to fight. She doubted any of them would last long in their current state against any boarding action. It'd be suicide, a waste of death, and she was sure that their "Father" wouldn't send them to fight without any sort of protection or chance. Some people here had blood lust off the battlefield, and that was worrying. These would be the children to keep an eye on, and while she was sure that the people who had captured her were keeping notes, it didn't hurt for her to make sure everything was order anyway.

Other than that, it was clear this situation had degraded. If the cruxi were here, that meant these people were the real deal- the military. In other words, that meant any of her worries about this being some weird rebel or separatist movement were gone. If that were the case, she would've found a way to commit suicide or cause some sort of damage before she'd be forced to betray her Motherland. But now those fears had been mostly erased.

Well, time to get a move on. Perhaps she could cheat the system a bit while they were on the run. Still, time to try and get a question in before they started running. She doubted they'd be leaving this area instantly. Things took time to move and prepare to move, after all.

"Hey, Father, how did they manage to find us? If you guys can kill children easily, I'd imagine we're pretty well hidden." She had two options, try to awkwardly talk to one of the other children, or attempt to talk to the man who had told them to ask questions. It was a long shot considering they were ready to high tail it, but might as well try.

It was pretty clear the guy wasn't her biological father, but it isn't like they could defy them. That was pretty clear from the conclusions she had made earlier. To bad reviewing them was essentially out of the question for now.

I'm alive

Fate/Eunoia

[Caster, Backyard, Ryuudouji Temple]

The end of a thousand years is approaching, and certainly humanity will lose "something". Of course this is true. It's a kaleidoscopic of possibilities to the untrained observer, but in reality, time is linear.

Humans aren't. Origins aren't. Indeed, the cycle of life is circular, reincarnate, be reborn an infinite number of times. But only the "intent" is preserved. That's right. Only the origin remains after death. The soul scatters into a thousand beautiful petals and disperses across the world. Only the origin is eternal- not the soul. In a way it's less romantic than the idea of an eternal soul, but in other ways it's more than romantic. It's an infinite cycle of life, rather than death. Even if humanities "bad ends" are numerous, certainly it will one day stumble upon perfection...-

But while life is circular and beautiful, time is not. From the highest dimension, from a branch far away from human perception, above it, it's all linear. "Fate" and "the future" already exist. Even the "Gods", even "Heroes" are subject to that. Indeed, even the observers are subject to this. But these worlds are not absolute. Nothing is eternal. Anything can be killed by "those eyes". If that's the case, they can be destroyed normally. That means fate can be changed. That means there is no absolute.

Yes. While Casters body formed, she thought.

No, she didn't think, she read "that book" and scanned through it. Nothing is certain. It isn't like one is at a "higher level". It isn't like looking down from a birds eye view. No, Caster is an outsider. So while the information is there, "that book" makes no sense to her. In the end, it's a useless thing that's only relevant after it would've been useful. Things like that are the most despicable in Casters opinion. Yes, if one looks forward, there is only one "absolute". -The Red Moon at the end of one thousand years. A wish almost two thousand years old certainly carries a lot of weight.

Arms, legs, torso, head, and so on. The "presence" that existed in that space became an actual being, no longer merely a half formed spirit. So this is what it was like to "live" again after nearly two thousand years of imprisonment.

The information of the Grail flowed into her. So she was in a land within the far east, huh? How disappointing but exciting at all the same time. Certainly the lands of Midgard were much larger then when she had "lived". -However, the lands didn't matter. It was the people who inhabited them. The world is a large game with an infinite number of choices and constant gambits and bets and risks. Not only between humans, of course, but between humans and luck, humans and fate, humans and nature, and humans and the world. The world, even in this day and age, still requires a struggle to live in. There's nothing wrong with such a system, of course.

-But why is there a system? Everything has become so complicated. Rather than real difficulty, there is false difficulty made by a false system. It's real, of course. But any lie is "real" if everyone believes it, right? History is fought in wars, but won by bards, historians, and books. In the end, heroes are nothing without the former and cannot exist without the later. In the end, even a villain with no good traits can become a "Heroic Spirit" if an ancient historian decides their psuedo fanfiction should be put in their historical library or something. But the struggle to live and die- from those few humans with the makings of "Greatness" that inspire and uplift humanity always become eternal. No name is forgotten in humanities quest for survival.

However, this system is dying. "The end of one thousand years", the Moon that will kill humanity is approaching. Times change. This is natural. But extras and their producers are crying for "stagnation" to occur. In other words, while the fate of humanity certainly looks grim, the reasons for it reaching this stage, no matter the outcome, are the same. Stagnation has caused humanities lifeblood to stop. Yes. It's humanities fate to keep going further up and further in. That is the nature of life, but "Alaya" has denied the earnest wish of humanity and its mother. Humanity is at war with itself, and the result will be grim.

My, my. To the world that humanity is destroying in the game of "life", it must seem like a fair game lost. The world doesn't hate its sons and daughters, of course. It's not a sore loser in that regard- but in the first place that "game" humanity is playing with the world isn't a game.

The result, after the year AD 1353 is when things began to fray. But the march of progress led to the final result of the year 2005 AD. There is nothing inherently wrong with technology, or the AD calendar. One doesn't have to be on the front line against the demonic beasts and giants to have "value'. But there must be a game, a struggle, and a will, right?

So in the end-

"The game was set from the very beginning." Humanity has reached "stability" and it doesn't want to change anything to push forward. To stagnate is to die. To stagnate is to lose value. To stagnate is to make a play with nothing but extras, to constantly play a game you cannot lose.

Isn't it sad?

In an instant of time not even lasting a moment, Caster processed this. After all, she's a servant, and a Caster at that. The light and booming wind fades as quickly as that instant lasts. A small girl with a queen like gaze is the only thing remaining in that circle.

Ew, bird guts. Everywhere. Ew. Ew. Ew. Her master had to be some sort of weird sadist.

"Christian girl- I presume you are my master, little Roman?" Ah, being a little girl was tough. Talking big felt awkward in this small form. Perhaps she should change her form, but her master may be into this sort of thing. Still, something wasn't right-

Her hidden right elven ear twitched. For Caster, "detection of the enemy" was a trivial affair. Right behind her was an enemy master without a servant.

Then there was no need to pay attention. Such a man was not a threat, and it would be rude to disengage a conversation with the girl who had summoned her. The boy could be talked to when that was over.

Taking in her surroundings, Caster somewhat appreciated the layout of this temple. Certainly there would be many useful things here, and it would be interesting investigating the magecraft and religion of this far eastern land first hand. In the end, having a grail flood you with knowledge wasn't the same thing as experiencing it yourself.

Katyusha

Name: Katyusha Hilda Burghsa

Age: 17



Personality:

A big time daddies girl who wishes to follow in her fathers footsteps. Conflicted about the path in life she should take, so she has been unnaturally acceptive of her current situation as a pilot, as that makes her decision for her. However, as a strong willed person, this leaves her in conflict. In the end, her mind is relatively strained, but she doesn't show it.

She is not particularly intelligent, but she tries her hardest to make up for this with creativity, basic logic, and hard work. She is somewhat envious of those with natural intelligence and abilities in more technical fields, though in general the only areas of expertise of her concern involve music and the military.

As a person who has had an awkward social life, she tends to be relatively open with friends in most cases. Because of her father and mother being absent most of her childhood and present life, she tends to rely on friends for support, which has hindered her social development somewhat. Despite that, she indeed has an air of a "charismatic idol" and can make friends with those around her rather easily. She has always wished for a sibling, and has a tendency to correlate friends with family. She is a high class empath, and this has added appeal to her status as an idol and increased popularity accordingly.

Despite seeming to be a rather stable person it's clear she's fraying at the ages, or perhaps a bit more than that. Having many close friends become causalities of war and the stress of having a very social life has put a strain on her that only time can heal. Unfortunately, time is a premium in the current world, and a thing that cannot be bought. Due to her upbringing she is very casual when she is casual, and very strict and professional in any other situation. As such she is thoroughly loyal to the government, and while she isn't necessarily a "rules" person, she is a person who cares more about intent then following the rules. If one doesn't follow the rules of the government but is still at a core loyal to it, she will not have many problems, but if the opposite is true she won't hold back.

Has an unnatural gun fetish.

Battle-Style: Squad Support Role

Hospitalized Special One: Her father is currently hospitalized after a recent attempted boarding action in the fleet. They will return to the front line as soon as physical and mental recovery permits.

Background:

Living her life in a military style family for much of her life, Katyusha is a girl with the rare talent of being an excellent entertainer. She has relatively good capability with most instruments, and is an ace at singing and guitar. Despite being a girl who expected to join the military, her parents pushed her toward developing her talents as a singer, and she became relatively famous at around fifteen. Though her father was often not present in her life because of military actions or military politics, she kept an excellent relationship with him.

Her family tended to be one deeply involved with the government; her mother was involved in governmental politics and administration, while her father maintained a job as a high ranking naval officer. Because of this, her family life was one with very busy parents who tended to not be around very often, causing her to rely on her closer friends for more immediate emotional support. Though her father and mother tended to be away for extended periods of time, she still has a steady relationship with them, though it was often strained at times.

After she discovered her singing talent, she was no longer expected to join the military to live up to her fathers name. After almost three years of singing she has become quite popular and is an "idol" of sorts. About halfway into her career she began to star in propaganda films about the war, the government, and the people, all trying to restore faith in the war effort, increase morale, or install loyalty into the government. Despite her change in career, part of her still earnestly wishes to be a part of the military and many of her hobbies involve that. Ironically enough, she was "plucked up" by those in control of the experimental Framework program and put in the pilot seat, filling her half hearted wish.

Framework

Framework Name: Potemkin



Primary Weapon-Type:
PK-Type 45 Putin LMG squad support rifle
Due to advances in alloys and air cooling it does not over heat and is relatively stable even when at full automatic. Its biggest drawback is being an ammo hog if one holds down the trigger. The more one moves the less accurate the fire gets and the more unwieldy the LMG gets, though it is intended to be usable on the move. It fires high caliber gyro based rounds, with caliber and ammo type being selected for the mission at hand. With average caliber munitions and ammo type, it is capable of laying down heavy, powerful, and fast firepower on enemy positions.

Secondary Weapon Type:
Tyulpan-Vladmir mortar launcher
Capable of firing in an arc or being used for direct fire(If not rather inaccurately), this built in mortar launcher is stored in the back of her Framework. Much like the squad support rifle, the size of its shots and explosive types can be changed per the need of the mission they are being sent on. As a local indirect fire weapon, it is useful for destroying enemies in defensive positions in supplement with larger artillery.

Side-socket 1:
Thruster package
Exactly what it sounds like. A boosted and enhanced thruster package that can be used to quicken walking speed, glide to the ground, and make controlled aerial movement easier. Still not a jetpack, but this package is an excellent addition for the Potemkin that allows quick movement if needed to push aggressively with the LMG or pull back for a defensive position.

Side-socket 2:
Ammo
A necessity for her ammo consuming LMG, her mech has an ammo pack attached to it in case her LMG runs out of ammo or she wishes to make use of an alternative ammo type. The material around the ammo is rather obscene, mostly to ensure she doesn't explode if someone nicks it. Detachable.

Special Ability:
Kladenets-Hyper Velocity Wave Motion Cannon
The ultimate expression of firepower on the battlefield that is capable of slicing through and destroying bunkers, fortifications, and enemy bases. It's a powerful attack that should only be used in desperation or to finish a battle solidly. It fires an electromagnetic slug covered in plasma that melts its way through almost anything and then explodes in a gigantic ball of plasma. The focus of the plasma and the speed of the projectile is unparalleled, with the plasma doing huge area of effect damage and the slug allowing accurate destruction of a single target(Such as a bunker, or building).

Because the slug moves so fast it simply looks like a focused beam of plasma, hence its name.

Fate/Eunoia

Skuld

Name: Skuld

Class: Caster

Gender: Female

Birth and Death Dates: 3rd or 4th century AD

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Personality: Progressive Witch who sets their mind on one goal and works as hard as they can reach it. In that way they are a top class worker who won't hold back. Despite being an evil person and someone lacking morality, she can be quite charismatic at times, and is capable of leading a country or maintaining proper diplomacy.

Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skuld_%28princess%29

Weapon: Elf ears, Ulfberh Sword

Parameters:

Strength: E

Endurance: E

Agility: C

Mana: A+

Luck: B

Class Skills:

Territory Creation: A
The skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus.
Creation of a "Temple", which is superior to a "Workshop", becomes possible.
For Skuld, who is a necromancer, control of the land could almost be said as more important than controlling the undead.
Fuyuki is a land particularly favorable to Necromancers, so her capabilities are not hindered here in the slightest.

Item Construction: A
Capable of manufacturing a variety of quality magical items.
Skuld is a hero with expertise in the primary paradigm of Norse Thaumaturgy. She is capable of preparing and maintaining all things needed to practice her magecraft and quite a bit more. Relative to shamanism, Necromancy, and so on.

However the true experts of "magical items" in Norse myth were the vengeful dwarfs. At the end of the day her capability isn't comparable to theirs, but that is to be expected. They are far to different to be compared in earnest.

Personal Skills:

Charisma: B
The natural talent to command an army.

Increases the ability of allies during group battles.

A rare talent.

Queen of Denmark, but only ruled briefly. It seems that commanding an army of undead still takes some skill.

Seiðr: A++
The talent to use the main thaumaturgy of ancient Scandinavia.

For Skuld, she is a top class practitioner who has a specialization in Necromancy. Her abilities reach into the realms of the far BC era despite being an AD mage.

Undoubtedly an evil witch of the absolute rank.

Elf: B
Status as being one of the phantasmal race, that of the Elves.
Grants the hefty benefits of being an elf including all of their various abilities in the mythology group of Scandinavia, along with the normal capabilities of phantasmal beasts.
This is a rare skill, and few in ancient myth can claim to be half elf like Skuld.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Name: Herløv

Title:The Army of Victory

Rank: A+

NP Type: Anti-Army

Range: 1-40

Maximum Number of Targets: 1000

Ultra-precise Noble Phantasm that brings forth an army. Rather than just summoning, this ability is also capable of simulation. It can bring forth human warriors and mercenaries who are simulations of the actual thing. However its true ability is summoning elves and nords from "inside the world". While the process is skipped, the magical energy cost for summoning forth beings like elves and nords are still very high. It's an excellent Noble Phantasm for Casters needs, even if it is indirect and unwieldy.

Fate/Eunoia

Ima jump out of Rider and claim Caster in that case. It fits my servant better anyway, even if I lose a good melitlith reference for my riding skill.
