DO NOT POST YOUR CHARACTER SHEETS HERE! When you make a character, PM me the sheet and once I approve it, you can post all but the last three parts.
Hope's Peak Academy is a unique high school, educating only the best of the best and training them for future success. There are two criteria for admission: you must be of high school age, and you must be the best at what you do. This can be any number of things: alumni range from the Ultimate Detective to the Ultimate Gymnast to the Ultimate Farmer or Gamer. The original school was located in Japan, but in order to further their research of talent, branches in other countries were opened. You are members of the first class of the American branch.

... Or you were supposed to be. However, when you arrived for the first day of class, you passed out as soon as you entered the main building. Now you are trapped in the school with your classmates and a strange bearlike creature who says the only way you can leave is by killing one of your classmates and not getting caught.

Why are you here?
What happened to the Academy of Hope?
And will you have it in you to commit murder?

I have no objection to letting my partners control my characters. Moses won't be very useful in this fight (unless you want him to punch the thing) and Marguerite will stand off to the side and let Sumanai do his thing. Which is hitting things.
Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been here; things have been extremely hectic at home. On that note, I'm about to go on a trip with my family to a place where I will not have Internet access for several days. I will try to be active tomorrow (as that's when we'll be traveling) but after that, I cannot make any promises (right now I've just ducked away from packing long enough to relay this).
Moses

Arkwright Residence, Northern Shinto, Fuyuki City


“Xavier Arkwright,” Moses repeated his Master’s name, testing the feel of it. Personally, he thought it sounded odd, but who was he to judge the names of another place and time? Despite the oddity of the name, the way he spoke was more or less exactly what Moses had expected. He sounded like a scholar, which is what he understood the modern magus to be, from what he had been given to understand this new era. As far as his class went, however… “Yes, I suppose you would call me a Caster.” He was, as far as he considered it, a human channel for divine wrath, but he supposed his ability to make the miracles manifest counted him for the class. He was about to make another comment when the explanation started.

It seemed this Grail War was not proceeding as it should. He understood how it should properly happen, and a meeting between Servants was just about the opposite of a how it should properly happen. It could easily be a trap, but at the same time, he did not want to risk incurring the ire of every other Servant, let alone Ruler.
“Very well,” Moses acquiesced with a nod, “I’ll admit that I don’t know anything about your family and its fame, but I do agree we should go together. It would be a shame were something to go wrong so soon after you summoned me.” He cracked a small smile at that. “In any case, we should get moving. I take it you know where this meeting is to take place?”

Marguerite Calder

Sundown, Eastern Field


The message had been a relief, in all honesty. It had come in the middle of the reconnaissance that had been so rudely interrupted the night before, yes, but it neatly helped settle many of her concerns. For one, it confirmed that there was something rotten in the city of Fuyuki, so to speak. Something was… incorrect about this Grail War, something that required a temporary truce, it seemed. In Marguerite’s mind, it meant that she was right about her concern about the thing they had first encountered. It was an aberration, but then what else could it be? Surely no one would summon someone that could create something like that.

Also, the truce gave her and Saber a chance to make up for the risky maneuver that had resulted from the encounter. Marguerite was not a gambling woman, but if she was, she would be willing to bet that at least one, likely more of the other Masters had been watching that battle and seen Saber let off his Noble Phantasm. And if they had, they would almost certainly know his identity. This lull in the inter-Servant fighing to focus on a common foe would give them an opportunity to show that he was formidable, that they were formidable, known weakness or no. It would also make it easier to perhaps negotiate alliances with other Master-Servant teams.
And there would be snacks. So all in all, she was quite optimistic about the whole thing. Not that she looked it, of course. Standing there grinning like a loon would detract from the image she was trying to project. Instead, she stood beside her Servant, her suit as close to immaculate it could possibly be after the trip here, her posture perfect, her arms behind her back as she surveyed the others there. This first moment was about dignity, about a presentation of power. The friendly approach could wait until after the introductions.

“Hello, everybody,” she spoke after Saber, acknowledging the others with a nod. She intended to do most of the talking between the two of them here. Saber was… not the most social of Servants, and it was here, in social situations, where she excelled.

Moses

Arkwright Residence, Northern Shinto, Fuyuki City


The man who stepped forth from the summoning circle did not seem like much, at least not at first. He seemed young, only barely older than Xavier himself. Pale, almost white hair framed a round, unassuming face with a slight smile that could mean any number of things, good or bad. On his feet were sandals that had clearly seen the wear of the road, and hanging from his back was a wooden staff. This was a man who had made the King of Kings bend to his will, but for all the world he appeared nothing more than a simple shepherd. Only two things hinted at his ability: a golden band around his neck—a gift from an old friend—and the way he stood. For he did not present himself as a mere shepherd—he was not sure he even knew how to stand without power anymore.

Moses stayed where he was for the moment, studying his new surroundings. The lighting in the room was dim, but he could still make out that it was very well-kept. That meant that someone here had an eye for detail, as well as enough forethought to make sure the room was clean before they summoned him. That was a good sign. He would not want to be bound to a careless Master, although he would rather one careless than cruel or ruthless. Moses knew why he was here, he knew what he could do, and the very thought of how things might turn out sickened him. As for the person himself…

He was younger than Moses expected. When he had felt himself being summoned, he had expected his summoner to be older, perhaps even wizened, or a priest like those magicians Ramesses had kept around. But this man looked young, although he did have the unmistakable air of someone that had been raised for power. He did not look to be the type to force plague on his enemies, but then, not many did. Only time would tell.

“Peace be with you,” Servant Caster spoke softly, but his words easily filled the basement, I ask of you, are you my Master?

@Kost Alter
Terribly sorry for vanishing, but my last weeks have been a hellish mess of projects, exams and needing to go to the hospital.

Getting hit by a car sucks. Who knew. But yeah, I was still an idiot for not dropping a heads up about it -- sorry.


Oh no! That's awful. Are you doing okay (I mean, relatively speaking, I'm sure okay is subjective when you've been hit by a car)?
Okay, I just got off work, and it was a sweaty hell. Moses will respond to the summons as soon as I can and we'll go from there. If there hasn't been any word from Breo, can I just have Marguerite go and do all the talking for Team Sumanai? It wouldn't be too horribly out of character for Siegfried.
Okay, so I was at work today and just caught up (I will be working tomorrow as well but will try to do as much as I can), and I am totally down with getting Moses summoned in time for the meeting.
