Fate/Eternum — Reboot

Archer - Tomoe

After a by and large uneventful week Archer was looking forward to whatever activities her Master had planned for the weekend. He mentioned something about an escape room, but even though she had an idea what that meant, she wasn’t completely sure about the details.

However, as they walked the streets, Archer’s was twisted with a thoughtful grin. There was something she felt like asking Mitsuki but had no idea of how to put it in a way that felt right. Nevertheless, she didn’t have to bother herself with it for long, thanks to yet another sudden encounter. This city really felt like a place ripe for them, wasn’t it?

“Well, it seems like you have a talent for stumbling into cute girls, Master. I wonder if that’s what they call protagonist power in some of those VNs I played?” Archer commented nonchalantly as she observed the situation unfold.

Andromeda couldn’t help but groan at the sight of what just happened. "Ok, now more than ever, is a good time for us to get going. Before we attract any more unwanted attention," she said as Mister Magic Man attempted to coax Miki back to them. At least someone else here seemed to understand that painting themselves as gullible strangers was a bad idea.

Well, at least they got some valuable information out of it. Like the fact that gold and silver were standard currencies in this world.

And then, Graham had to make his opinion known again…

"Wha—!? Are you nuts?" Andromeda replied in frank disbelief of what he suggested. "It might be ok for you but I’m not feeling like spending the night in an abandoned shack in some dirty slums," she said, bringing a hand to her waist.

"Our first order of business is to find a pawn shop or some other place where we can make some quick money. That’ll help us get a hold of this place’s monetary system and maybe some other information as well if we are lucky," Andromeda said as Isaiah returned with Miki. "I’m sure Mister Magic Man here will agree with it, right? If push comes to shove, he might even be able to pull one of his ‘tricks’ to help us," she said as a cheeky smile came to her face.

Fate/illuminated histoire

Saber of Black

“How was it that the Saracens said? If the mountain doesn’t come to Muhammad…” Saber sighed as she realized that her role had been compromised. Perhaps their faction’s strategy hadn’t gone according to plan, perhaps her allies were locked in combat already. It didn’t change the matter that her instructions were changed from making herself into bait to hunting the enemy on her own. Thankfully, she had the means to make such a task less time-consuming.

“Spread your roots and reveal me what I seek,” Saber said as she struck her scabbard against the ground lightly. In a moment she felt her perception expand like the roots of a great, ancient tree. For generations, the ancient cultures venerated trees as a source of wisdom and their roots as a representation of their wisdom spreading through the land. Saber’s sword was an embodiment of this very concept. Even if she was no mage, it was only natural that she was capable of so much as long she had her beloved blade with her.

It wouldn’t take long before Saber found one suspicious enemy not that far away from her position and moved to intercept them. What she didn’t expect is to find them ready to depart by the time she arrived.

“Excuse me for asking but, what possible reason could you have to turn your back to the enemy camp in the middle of a battlefield?” Saber asked of the bunny-eared Master who remembered her far too much of Asty, down to the hair and build. “If you wish to resign I won’t stop you. Otherwise, call your Servant forth and let us decide this in a way befitting of the Heroic Spirits chosen by the Holy Grail.”

—Andromeda Hardt—

It didn’t look like there was anywhere Andromeda could rest nearby. Maybe they should move away from this place and start looking for things. She’d hate to spend the night on the streets and she had no way of knowing how long the day lasted in this world. While on that matter, Andromeda made a quick note of the position of the Sun in the sky and the time on her watch. That would be enough to get her that answer later on.

"As safe as a place with raptor-drawn carriages can be," Andromeda replied, to Graham pointing to the number of vehicles drawn by strange dinosaur-like creatures moving up and down the street.

"Actually, teleportation kinda is an exact science, yes. We just don’t know how to do it yet," Andromeda remarked with the same wits from before. "The fact you know what an exact science is, already disproves your little trick, you know?"

"Anyway, conman or not, I kinda like you. It’s nice that someone else noticed the funny business going on with languages here. Though, if what you said is true, then why don’t you read what’s written up over there? If you can do that I’ll 100% believe you," Andromeda pointed to what could only be a plaque with street names written on it, hanging from a light pole.

"Nice to meet all of you all. Now that we are acquainted—I guess?—what do you say of us taking a look around? I don’t know about you but I don’t feel like spending the night on the streets in a new world," Andromeda said, smiling as well as she could after all of the others had introduced themselves.

Monster Federation Force (Monster Girl RP)

“I have no idea about that. I’m not the one who calls the shots here. But I doubt whoever runs this place needs money so badly they would be resorting to ransom now,” Haruka answered Akari’s question as she adjusted a headset on herself. “You are lucky, you know? I’m taking care of you the best I can, if it wasn’t for me, you would be wearing a straitjacket or something like this,” she added as she knelt by the red-haired girl and helped her dress.

“I think I’d be safer if I had one,” Akari replied as she pulled away from Haruka, trying to preserve her personal space. “If you aren’t part of their organization why are you even here?”

“You could say I’m a freeloader or something like this. But—” Haruka interrupted herself before she finished speaking. Her head turned away and attention focused elsewhere, almost as if she heard something or someone calling for her.

“I’m sorry, Cutie, I gotta leave now. Be a good girl and I promise to bring a treat when I’m back,” Haruka said as she left Akari at HART’s mercy.

“Hey, where are you going? I couldn’t be that you are one of the GMGs, right?” Akari tried to follow the retreating girl until she found that she was held in place by energy shackles.

※ ※ ※

It didn’t take long for Haruka to make her way out of HART’s mothership and find the source of the distress call. Though she couldn’t say that she was surprised by it, she found it hard to hold her apprehension back when she laid her eyes on them.

“Setsu—What are you two doing here?” Haruka asked as she ran to her friend’s side. “Actually, forget it, we have to get the two of you somewhere safe and treat those wounds before anything else,” she said as she called Tomoko to get them back ASAP. As she did so, she produced a small first aid kit and tried to at least alleviate their suffering.

It was only when she was trying to help Yeshua that Haruka noticed they had another person with them. “Who’s she? Are you guys trying to make prisoners too?” she asked as the rescue ship picked them up and made its way back to the Silencia.

Well, he had to be one of those types, haven’t he. "How would I know? Anyway, it wouldn’t kill you to be a little kinder, would it?" Andromeda said as she looked at the obviously younger boy trying to talk her down to cover his own panic attack.

"I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who got the gist of what’s happening here. Maybe we should, I don’t know… Introduce ourselves first? At least then, you wouldn’t be yelling at a total stranger for no reason at all. Right, Detroit? Actually why don’t we do a quick memory check while we are at it, just be sure we are on the same page," Andromeda said while looking at the guy dressed, and acting, like a street performer.

She didn’t think Detroit Boy would need more confirmation that they weren’t on Earth anymore. For the love of God, there were all kinds of fantasy creatures walking down the street. What else did he need to know?

"I suppose I’ll go first, then."

"I’m Andromeda. The last thing I remember before literally blinking into this world is crossing a street on my way to deliver a revised draft of my Master’s application. What about the rest of you?" she introduced herself while taking the liberty to find anywhere nearby where she could sit. It looked like they were going to stay here for a while after all.

Re:Zero - The New Constellation

—Andromeda Hardt—

"Now, that’s strange."

Despite her quirks, Andromeda always took pride in having quite a level head. Even taking her Master’s application into account, or the fact that she didn’t have a good date in the last couple months or so, she wasn’t under any particular stress that she could notice. She also didn’t have any alcohol recently. Certainly not enough to hallucinate like this while crossing a street.

"Actually..."

That wasn’t a hallucination at all, or at least that was what a cursory glance around and look at her phone led her to conclude.

"It sure isn’t Kansas either," Andromeda replied in a witty tone after her train of thought was interrupted by one of the handful of people around her who seemed to be as misplaced as she was. The line she chose wasn’t random either. There was an idea brewing in the back of her mind but reason dictated that could never be the case.

However, if the world around her was any indication, chances were that Andromeda was right. She just didn’t want to admit something that absurd. At least not yet.

Celestial Musician

"Now that I’m seeing you, I realized something, Saber," Subaru said mentally. "A battle is like a dance. And now, you should be the one taking the lead," she continued. This encounter was beginning to get rather suspicious. Not only could she feel some magic energy that didn’t belong to any of them nearby, meaning that they might be under surveillance, but now there was this illusion spell. It clearly wasn’t the doing of the other girl. With her senses as heightened as they were now, Subaru would have noticed it.

Unless she had some sort of Mystic Eyes of Illusion. "Maybe I should bring a Mystic Eyes killer with me the next time we go out of the mansion," she thought.

"I suppose you won’t be bothered if I kick things up a notch, right? Very well then, Allegro!" Subaru said, addressing the other girl this time as she changed the tempo of her melody, speeding it up even further. Soon enough, she produced a bounded field that drowned all the noise around them, except for those she chose not to. Now, even the least of Archer’s and his Master’s movements would be audible for saber and Subaru, rendering their illusions considerably less effective when Saber and Subaru could concentrate on sound, rather than sight.

"I think I can understand you," Shelk answered Lancer's questions as she walked around with her face buried in a map, trying to make sense of this city. Things would go much faster if it wasn't printed in Japanese, though. But Shelk wasn't keen on asking a legendary warrior to work as her guide.

"If my memory is correct, you were never that fond of sieges while you were alive, right? You and I are both women who like to get things done fast. I imagine that having to wait until our enemies come to us is hard for you," she continued as they made their way through the nightly streets.

"The problem is finding seven people in a city this big. They could be hiding anywhere. That said, I heard from our allies that the enemy is plotting something on a bamboo forest on the city's outskirts. Maybe if we go to a similar place, like say, this school over here, we can find someone. It's at least worth a try, I think," Shelk finished her explanation before calling a taxi.

"You can drive, right? I guess we won't need to involve any innocents, then," she added after charming the driver, giving him some compensation money and telling him to go back home walking—convinced that he was abducted by aliens or something like this.

Saber of Black

Saber was aware of her role in her Faction's plans. It seemed like they were relying a lot on her capacities, especially today, even though Roland or Charlie would have been more suited for it. Nevertheless, she was glad to be the one chosen, the static nature of the Throne is boring beyond belief and despite not being anywhere near as free-spirited as her friends, even saber felt the itch for adventure every now and then.

"That said, now and then doesn't hold much meaning for a Servant, does it?" she sighed, turning her thoughts back to the matter at hand. "I didn't know that holding a position alone would be so boring," she sighed yet again as she looked at the bamboo forest around her. Saber was told to guard a specific crossroads and, true to her word, she was standing in the middle of them resting her hands on Hauteclaire's hilt while her blade was planted on the earthen path.

None shall pass, indeed.

"Hmm?" Subaru was intrigued by her opponent's move but didn't do more than raise an eyebrow, not caring to break concentration on her performance.

"Saber, just keep him occupied for a little bit more. I can already discern some of Archer's capabilities if we can get more information it'll be to our advantage. At the same time try not to give too much information on your techniques if you can," Subaru said to her Servant over their mental connection. She had a good grasp on Archer's parameters but if they could keep him fighting for a little longer, she might be able to discern some of his skills too.

In the meanwhile, she tried to keep her senses sharp, trying to spot any ambushes or other unexpected situations.

Caster

Caster couldn't help but notice the strange presence laying ahead while she made her way to the shrine along with her Master. Since genuine spirits of such power are a rare sight in this era, it probably was another Servant.

While her Master went ahead to meet them in earnest, Caster decided to take a more playful stance. Before coming into view she changed her shape to that of an inconspicuous monk chanting mantras as she walked down the road, seemingly unaware of the other three until the very last moment.
