A FEW MINUTES LATER...



This was perhaps the first time Charlotte had ever entered Chaldea's most important room. It certainly wasn't for Daniel, who likely would have visited the room on multiple occasions before he was even considered for a Master applicant. After all, as long as he had behaved there was no reason to keep him out of the room. Still, the room was nothing more than the epicenter of Chaldea's greatest accomplishments. A revolution of work, all centered around a singular centerpiece.



The doors opened to this room, where several men and women in coats shuffled about. All whispering amongst themselves in a hurry, and none even bothering to look at the two masters and their chosen servants. They were all to busy. In fact, it seemed Raphael was quite busy himself, as several automatons could be seen around the area. One per-group, taking notes or even peeking over the monitors to adjust whatever parameters might need to be adjusted. So many folks at work that when the actual Raphael approached one might have been forgiven for not noticing that he was talking to them and not another scientist.



"Well well, I see you're both here on time!" Raphael said, with a broad smile from ear to ear. "I was starting to worry you might be a minute or two late, and then we'd have to adjust the schedule, but here you are! So no adjustments need to be made." Several people within earshot sighed blissfully at that. He didn't even wait for a response for hustling them along. "Now, I know you must have so much to say, or a rehearsed speech, but I insist we move along at a brisk pace, and leave all questions for when you're on sight. If we waited for all questions to pass, then we might end up having to delay until after the storm passes, and we're all too impatient for that!"

He laughed, but it was clear everybody was on edge. Some looming timeline it seemed. This was answered rather snappily by Raphael. "Naturally, I'd say to wait for the storm to pass, but the director was very clear that she wanted you out onto the field, and back before the storm hits. No idea why, but when the director decides, you listen."

Before Charlotte and Daniel lay the most important part of the system though.



The coffins. Based on the principal of Schrodinger's cat, they would be both alive, dead, and for all purposes... Non-existent. Thus, their conscious minds and existences could be projected anywhere else. The past, the future, or even Hawaii. Though a single rayshift was far more expensive than a hundred round flights.

"I see you both put on your uniforms already, so when you're ready we'll seal you in. Your servants have their own pods as well." Raphael said, leaving both masters to get into their coffins. He had scheduled in a few minutes for them to get comfy, and get used to the idea that they were in a suspended existence. They could hear nothing outside those pods as they closed around them. Probably for the better.

------------------------------------------------------------
Outside the Coffins

"Alright, we're ahead of schedule!" Raphael laughed as he took a seat by the controls. Several others sat around him, monitoring the master's vitals.
"All clear!"
"Heart rates are fine."
"Existences stabilized."
"Are we sure Daniel's mom is fine with this? W-"
"Look, she'd be here if she wasn't held up. Trust me, she'd want us to do this with or without her."
"Sir Raphael, can you look at these numbers for me? I think the s-"
"Servant Vitals are coming in clear too."
"Destination is set!"
"Very well, we shall begin!"
"Sir Raphael, can you please look at this report! The storm is a-"

Chaldeas had already begun. The spinning rings. The sounds that filled the air like a blowing wind. Magical energy flooded the room as the process jump started and heart rates soared amongst the watching scientists.

Until Raphael looked at the report. The storm had accelerated.
Everything... Went white.

------------------------------------------------------------
Team A - Daniel @Letter Bee

FIRE.

Flames raged all around him the world snapped into clarity. Surrounding him were buildings, and each had one thing in common. Each was a blaze, and not a single soul could be seen or heard amongst the raging fires. A world of chaos as a nearby building belched fire, and a chair came flying right out. The flaming chair landing right in front of Daniel, and exploding into bits and pieces of metal and plastic. A nearby billboard that had somehow managed to hang on during the start of everything collapsed finally, and fell onto the burning remains of a nearby car. The pitched screaming of the car alarm filling the air, before it died out a minute later when the heat caused the inside to melt into slag.

One could say with certainty, that he was in hell.

------------------------------------------------------------
Team B - Charlotte @Duoya

It was peaceful... Quiet... And dead. Nothing stirred around her as she woke up. Instead, she was greeted by something else. The feeling of dry clay under her body as she would find herself surrounded by high walls of dirt and clay. Stone and steel. She was laying at the bottom of a riverbed, but where the river had gone was unknown. Instead, it had all dried up, recently she could guess. Perhaps a day or two ago considering there was no fish. Rather, the odd set of bones could be seen amongst the stones.

Welcome to Fuyuki, indeed.

Raphael turned to the chefs, all of whom it turned out... Were him. All in different outfits. The head chef. The waiter. The su chef. All rolls were occupied by what was a perfect replica of Raphael himself. Except for the bustboy... He'd never stoop that low, and it was some sort of automated process. It probably wasn't a surprise, considering they'd been there for a few weeks already, and Daniel a few years. Still, the animatronics Raphael had invented to aid as his assistants through-out Chaldea and fulfill more mundane roles... Was impressive. Perhaps King Mu would have some opinions to give on their construction.

"Well dear Lancer, I must remind you that I am not Michelangelo. Though, I understand the confusion." Raphael corrected, still unaware the mistake was intentional. "Michelangelo was a major inspiration when I was in Rome. Why, his work at the Sistine chapel was a major inspiration, despite our rivalry. I actually scrapped a work I had been growing dissatisfied and used his works as inspiration and guidance. As such, you can look at my own masterwork, "Disputa" and see some of the influence in posture that I took from Michelangelo's. OH, but I digress! That stuffy old man isn't here to talk about himself, so why should I build him up before his own appearance?"

With a sigh, he gathered up plates for each person in the room, balancing them easily in each hand, and then unfurling some mechanical limbs from his back that carried the one that he could not hold in his hands. A showcase of his intellect.

Placing down each plate, he began to eat alongside Charlotte, though food for servants isn't really needed. It was still enjoyable to eat eggs and toast.

"Oh, but it seems part of your search has already arrived." Raphael said, gesturing to the suddenly appearing King Mu. He had to admit, the fact that the king also possessed an animatronic had been of great interest to him. If they had more time, he might have even requested to study it and see if he could gleam any inspiration from it. "Oh Mu, I am here merely because I wish to speak plainly with everybody here. As your mission control, I can't have any of you not knowing or trusting my words. A strong relationship is paramount to my work."

Though, with that said, he turned to the master candidate. "Miss Charlotte, I will not be able to assist you in finding Miss... Medb, simply because her entire existence offends me in much the way Daniel's Saber candidate does." Raphael said, with a slight pursing to his lips. He wasn't subtle about it, but even then the sexual behaviors of other servants was... Not something he showed much care for. He just couldn't stand it. Such meaningless distractions! Tsk!

"But, I do recommend that you all join me a bit earlier. We're actually bumping the schedule up a bit. Since we've received word there is a storm incoming, and we'd rather get your test over and done with well before it hits. Just in case it causes some kind of interference with the machines." With that, he patted himself down, handed his plate off to Yasuke to take care of, and left the room.

"You know Daniel, a Magus Killer may at first sound like an ideal path for a young man, but for a child to be touting so highly about it while still confined in the balanced space of Chaldea makes one imagine it's less about the structure or profession and more about a singular aspect of genocide." That voice, dripping with smugness could belong to no other than Raphael. Before today, Chaldea had summoned only a few other servants. This one in particular operated nearly every aspect of the facility, so he knew everything going on inside. "In layman's terms, a magus killer seeks to only kill those that might disrupt the tentative balance the world has found itself in. Bragging so openly about it as a career profession makes it seem like you're less interested in that balance, and more about the killing."

Raphael brushed the cuff of his bright red suit, and turned his attention to Charlotte. "Am I to believe you haven't eaten yet? That simply won't do! I shall accompany you to the mess hall. Daniel, I notice that none of your servants are here, while Miss Charlotte has already gathered one of hers. If you don't have Don Juan and Autocylus with you when we set off, I'll be having to lock them in the closet where they can drive each other insane."

With his hand, he pressed on Charlotte's back. Escorting her to the mess hall. Leaning in, he whispered to her. "I understand Daniel can be difficult to work with. If you wish to request a different partner for your first mission, I can look at the applications again and pull in somebody else."

They turned down a hall, and right there was the mess hall. People who were only half-awake were gathered. Some having just gotten up from their short naps, or others hoping to get some food before they go to bed. Raphael stepped forth first, glancing at the menu. It was quite extensive. A few of the chefs had been trained by Raphael himself, so to that extent they had become five star chefs.
"I'll have scrambled eggs and bacon. What do you want, dear? Oh and Lancer, what do you want too... I guess."
Organization Post


Welcome to Chaldea

Chapter 1


Nobody slept at Chaldea. It was a cruel reality that sleep wasn't on the table, even during the most peaceful times. But as the organization became closer and closer to the final end goal of their research, excitement was everywhere. Everybody worked. Everybody did multiple shifts. The dream of the Rayshift was so close, and today was the morning of the day when it all came together.

The night before, the leaders of Chaldea had gathered the first of many teams who would bus using the miracle of the Rayshift. To breach into the past. To see and observe the things that slipped off balance. It was a task only suited for the most elite and well suited among them to such things. Those chosen had been given the privilege to become the first Masters of Chaldea, who would lead servants.

That was yesterday though. Today, the team would wake up to the sounds of alarms. Clock alarms, and the charming voice of the facility's top scientist, architect, linguist, inventor, pa- Just assume he did a lot...



"Morning morning you lucky ducklings!" The ecstatic voice of Raphael echoed through the room. His smile was contagious, and his bright red outfit made him stand out quite abit in comparison to the grey metal walls of the facility. "You all slept a good 9 hours, which was 7 hours more than anybody else in the facility!" He swept his hands back, holding them in a Y sort of shape. "Now, there are still a few hours before we finally do our first major Rayshift and officially set you chicks to work! But until then, get some food, talk to your summoned servants, and whatever else you might have on your minds. Servants don't need to eat our sleep, so chances are they've scattered through the facility. If you don't have them all together by the time we Rayshift, you'll be going without them." Raphael prattled, while the team was no doubt getting dressed.

"If you have any questions, don't ask them here. Because I'm a TV and can't actually hear you. Ask me in person." And with that, the TV blipped off, and the most important day of many lives in the Chaldea facility began.

"With the passing of the Age of Gods and the start of the Common Era, Mankind has become the most prosperous species in the world. The fate of the planet is in our hands. We are the ones who will write its epitaph. Thankfully, there is a map to prolong mankind's survival and ensure its everlasting prosperity.

Welcome to Chaldea. You are the best of the best. At least that what we’re telling you. But we’re just thankful you’re here at all. Chaldea exist as an observation facility primarily. But since the founding of our organization we have found the odd moment in human history that is a blemish. A point that exists to mangle our timeline, and send humanity off its course. These are better known as Singularities.

To combat each Singularity, a team of two mages are gathered, and then sent into the field. Summoning Heroic spirits in the process. Chances are you have had time to talk with your servant from a prior summoning, or perhaps the servant summoned in done on the field. It’s your choice.

Consider this your mission briefing in that regard. The facility has been in need of fresh blood for a while. You’re it.

Your first point is a small singularity in Fuyuki. Something about things going off path. Anyway, small squabbles like this happen all the time. Show up, find who or what went wrong, and set it right. Time will set itself right when that’s done.

Are you ready? Don’t respond, we’re sending you there now.

This Roleplay is based off the game Fate/Grand Order. You do not need to play the game to follow the story, as this RP uses the concept as a jumping off point, rather than a bible.

Rules
1 - Don’t Godmod
2 - Be a decent person. If you have a problem with another player, you are invited to tell a GM. We’ll do what we can.
3 - There will be only two Master slots. But six Servant slots. Each Master can provide mana for three servants at a time. (It is heavily recommended that the RP max out at six players, two players playing both a master, and a servant so they can participate in heated battles.)
4 - If a servant dies, the player is allowed to perform a re-roll. If a Master dies (Which is less likely) they are not allowed to re-roll until the end of a Singularity. If a Master quits, another player is allowed to take over the character, and replace them when the Singularity ends.

Servant Gatcha:
While likely unnecessary, the mods have elected to include a Gatcha system. We have made up a list of Servants/Classes, and if interested you can ask to roll the Gatcha. Five options are generated from a list, including a little blurb on each. (You can decide to do something else entirely if you like none of the options.) It’s for those who have an interest in random chance, or want to try something different.

Servants and Master Applications





Servants should be roughly in the D-B tier. Strong servants, but not anything that can destroy a city on a leisurely stroll.
