[hr] Yuna nodded with a smile, looking over the assorted Masters in a new light. [color=00BFFF][b]"Mari, Rosa, Will, and Lili! i'll make sure to remember those names! Those are the names of the people who will save the world! Oh, but no smoking inside! It makes the place smell bad, you have to take it outside if you wanna smoke!"[/b][/color] The wind seemingly howled even louder in response to the Director's declaration. Holly shook her head in an exasperated manner, putting her hand on the Director's shoulder to try and ground her. [color=CD5C5C][b]"Director, you never introduced yourself."[/b][/color] The smile quickly faded from her face as she blinked owlishly. Then she rubbed the back of her head as she giggled with a sheepish grin and closed eyes. [color=00BFFF][b]"Oh yeah, I guess so huh."[/b][/color] She shook her head and put her hands on her hips, legs spread in some sort of superhero pose as she pointed at the Masters with a resolute stare. [color=00BFFF][b]"I am the Director of Chaldea, The Starchild, The Super Awesome Best Magus Ever! But you may call me..."[/b][/color] A dramatic pose as she did a twirl, then another in the opposite direction as she did a little hop. She landed and pointed at the stars, staring straight at the ceiling as if it were the sky itself. [color=00BFFF][b]"Yuna Hoshiyumi! But my friends just call me Yuna, so you can call me that too."[/b][/color] [color=CD5C5C][b]"We have a schedule to keep Director, important people to introduce..."[/b][/color] Holly tapped the tablet impatiently, shivering once more. [color=CD5C5C][b]"When I get my hands on him, I'm going wring his neck for moving the furnace again..."[/b][/color] She muttered as she began to walk away. [color=00BFFF][b]"Ok ok, fine! Now then friends, let me guide you to the most important room in Chaldea! The Summoning Center!"[/b][/color] Yuna looked at a spot on the wall and waved at seemingly nothing, before calling out to seemingly nobody. [color=00BFFF][b]"Hey Raph! We're heading to the Summoning Center, do the thing!"[/b][/color] They quickly moved towards a door, towards the kitchen actually if their week in Chaldea had taught them anything, but as they stepped through the door [hr] [center][h2][b][color=2e2c2c]Fuyuki City - 1994[/color][/b][/h2] [@Pyromania99][@Breo][@ManyThings][@Parallel Hearts][/center] [center][color=00BFFF][b][sub]-are you reading me? Please respond, something went wrong-[/sub][/b][/color][/center] The brick wall behind her was cold, as she opened her eyes it would strike her that her cigarette was lit and in her mouth already despite having just stepped through the door leading to the cafeteria. It was also readily apparent that this was not the cafeteria or even Chaldea in general for that matter. Her head was also beating like a drum, a dull pain pounding right behind her eyes as her eyes adjusted to the darkness around her. Another thing that was unusual was the three strangers around her all dressed in strange robes and garments from far off lands, along with the feeling of something itching on her left hand... [color=00BFFF][b]"Rosa! What's the sitrep, you all Rayshifted in and then the sensors went mad as you got scattered all over the city!"[/b][/color] Yuna was correct, Rosa and the three Servants were in fact in a city. Now that time had passed, she could maybe even realize that one of the strangers surrounding her was in fact her own Servant judging by the connection she was getting from her Command Seals. And would you look at that, she has Command Seals on her left hand. Hopefully she read the dossier talking about all this stuff, or she would be much more confused then she already is.

Only flashes of memories, a blinding light as Heroes of old appeared, the Director explaining how the Coffins work, the grin of a child as she pushed the button- Pain lanced through his head. It would appear as if the first Rayshift had not gone according to plan at all. A shadow flashed over the Servants and Master, paper raining from the sky as someone leapt across the rooftops. Accompanying the shadow was a laugh, filled with joy and arrogance as it's owner absconded into the night. Upon closer inspection, the papers were revealed to be flyers, each one decorated with a [url=https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51ejYd9HbRL._SX425_.jpg]picture of a masked figure[/url] and an accompanying message.

More importantly, was [url=https://i.imgur.com/RW3XC9v.png]the man[/url] staring at them with a wide eyed expression, a very handsome man if Lilliana had anything to say about it... There was no warning, no explanation, one second he was staring at them with a panicked expression, the next he was full on running away from them like his life depended on it. A decision would have to be made quickly, would they choose to pursue the man in hopes of explaining just where they were, or would they take the opportunity to claim the Leyline beneath them and let him get away?

Broken buildings all around, bodies strewn about the battlefield. Yet each one of these bodies were all unique in how none of them were. Each one lacked a face, each one dressed in the same military uniform reminiscent of an ancient centurion, each one with similar slash wounds, yet no blood on them whatsoever. No, instead of plasma and iron, the building blocks of life, they bled something far more sinister. Something that was anathema to life itself. None of them would know just what this was, but they would all know that touching even a drop of it would result in something [b]horrible[/b] happening. That thick sludge, that slurry of death and curses. All the worlds evil compiled into something physical, the black mud of Angra Mainyu. Perhaps it would be best to get away from here and put their heads together to figure out what was going on. Would also be a good time for introductions.
