"MonsterVerse" - A Kaiju Gijinka Roleplay

So...how is everyone's weekend been so far?

Lorelei Baggett

[Back Yard, Abandoned House South of the Matou Estate, Southwesrt Part of Fuyuki City]

"Yes, i am your master-" Lorelei had said, barely having the words leave her mouth to confirm their contract as master and servant, before the immediate burn of her newly-formed Command Seals stopped her in her tracks.

There was someone here, who had apparently taken the time to wait for her to summon before attacking. It was the worst-case scenario she had hoped to avoid by getting here early and summoning before anyone else perhaps came to this area. But why had they not attacked her before? Why had they not stopped her from summoning, and why had they not attacked her instead of her servant? Surely killing her would easily remove the competition from this conflict, especially if she was attacked before summoning a servant. Though at this point in time, it was really not in her or her servant's best interests to stick around here any longer. As such action was needed.

The moment she had felt her Command Seals burn, she instinctively begun uttering a Ten-Count Healing Spell aimed at her servant specifically. Perhaps it was that she felt confident he would dive in front of her if she was the one being targeted. Perhaps it was because she felt he would be the target if an enemy had waited so long to attack them. Whatever the case really was, as her servant was visibly impaled through his center of mass by the seemingly faster-than-light attack, Lorelei continued to chant the Ten-Count spell as best as she could. She was going to pull out the best of her healing spells for this, as holding back at such a venture as this was not something she could afford to do in regards to her servant. The damage was abysmal looking, and if she lost her servant this early into thing it would only serve to force her out of them unless she could get another servant.

She was also not too sure how these enemies would feel if she tried to summon another servant as well, albeit she wouldn't do so here if it came down to that.

Eventually, however, the homunculus would finish casting the Ten-Count spell onto her servant, with Lorelei herself being thankful for the thirty second cast time as compared to the one minute it would have taken for others. Visibly she could begin to see the spell shimmer over her servant's body, and it would immediately begin knitting up the damage to Rostam's physical form and body the moment she had finished casting it really. The spell would last for a while, thirty minutes, though the female homunculus was not too sure if her servant could move right now so they could get away to heal after what had just happened.

"I wish to give no disrespect," Lorelei said to her servant after finishing casting her spell over his body, her eyes darting around the windows and other areas of the abandoned house to see where the attack could have come from, "But it seems we need to retreat back into the nearby forest for now. I have cast a healing spell on you, but if we are attacked again i do not know if my magecraft can keep up with the damage."

It was safe to say this event had caught her off-guard, even despite her having come here knowing the risks. However, at least her summoned servant seemed to be hardy enough to survive a brutal attack like this that seemed to pierce through all and deal absurd damage in just one blow. Not true name had been called out, however, so unless this was the result of some passive Noble Phantasm this enemy was likely not using their best attack on them. To retreat for now would be paramount to their survival as master and servant, and Lorelei hoped that her suggestion to retreat for now would not be offensive to her servant. If nothing else, she hoped the tactic would make logical sense enough to them that they could get out of here without the use of a Command Seal. After all, she was unsure as to if she had summoned as stubborn servant or not at this venture, though his initial kneeling before her was a good sign to the homunculus if nothing else...

oh hey, Rostam is being attacked already.

@Holy Grail did you set up your summoning circle someplace weird?

@Beloss

Maaaaaybe. Just maybe. The plan was to summon and run though. XD

Don't worry, @Beloss there is always Plan B: Heal Rostam and run away!

[EDIT]: Lorelei is not pulling punches when it comes to her healing spells right now as well. A potent, healing-over time spell should hopefully help things right now. Unless i am stupid and such spells cannot exit in the nasuverse.

[Additional Edit]: @Breo@YukitamasThere are some totally awesome servants up for grabs, btw, like that Moses guy.

Fate/Empty Providence

I'm not going to be so mean as to kill off a character after they've made exactly one post without any mercy.

While this encounter can be a fatal one if played incorrectly, I'm sure you'll come out of it fine. Given the enemy's situation and orders, this isn't an especially deadly situation.

@Moonlit Sonata

Mmm, at least this means the situation is not as bad as it could have been! XD Hopefully Lorelei and Rostam are able to avoid this becoming a lethal situation though.

I have to leave for work in a few minutes as well, however, so i'll be gone for the rest of today as a result and won't be able to get in a post. So with that i in mind i will get a response post for Lorelei up at some point tomorrow, unless @Beloss wants to jump in with a Rostam response to the attack before then. Whatever works best really! :)

Fate/Empty Providence

@Moonlit Sonata@BelossAaand i am already possibly getting my master's servant killed. (-__-)

Just lovely....

Fate/Empty Providence

@Moonlit SonataDuly Noted.

By the way, as i did note before that i will not likely be able to respond or post on Saturdays, if i am attacked in a post later today once i get off, can the time limit be extended to Sunday? Just want to be clear on this matter on my end.

@Beloss I have made Lorelei's summoning post as well, whenever you are able to get a chance to post with Rostam and such. :)

"I...am finally finished," Lorelei said with a slight huff of tiredness, dropping the dead body of a chicken she had bought earlier to the side, also backing up from the summoning circle she had just finished making on the ground before her with blood in the back yard of this abandoned home.

The Holy Grail War had finally begun, and the black-haired, fair-skinned homunculus was ready to get her servant summoned as soon as possible. She was no military strategist, but if she could summon her servant first and attempt to secure a base of operations, it would give her all the more advantage in surviving the entirety of this conflict. Though as for the idea of securing a leyline, she did not know whether to do so or not. To take a fallen leyline would be to place a target on her back, but would also make for being able to provide for her servant especially well in regards to mana. Still, just "summoning and running" might be a better position to take up for her, and/or perhaps trying to ally with one of the two magus families that were orchestrating this Grail War could be of use. She was still thinking over the ideas at the moment. After all, if she were attacked here or the like she would have to adjust plans for fleeing to a safer area first.

Whatever her initial actions and decision would be, she was summoning her servant here where one of the fallen leylines were. She had just arrived here the other day, getting in some rest and planning where to summon her servant if nothing else. It was a start, a small one, but a start in her quest for the Grail and to survive. Why had she been chosen for the Holy Grail War as a master, though? It was an odd thing, as she could not recall having any specific wish she would want to search for in a conflict like this. Yet all the same, her family had sent her here to observe the Grail War and its details, and to participate as well to try to get a chance to observe the rumored chalice itself. Were the Holy Grail to be too dangerous of an object...well, she understood fully what that meant for her.

But for now, beginning the ritual to summon was of most importance. With that in mind, the homunculus picked up a small wooden box she had brought with her and placed on the ground while she had been making the summoning circle for the ritual. Cracking it open, a piece of old and worn iron sat inside, something that according to the people her family had bought the artifact from was from the weapon of a great hero. A strong hero, one who slew monsters and rode upon a great and powerful steed. This was who she, with the help of the Baggett family archives, had picked to try to summon as her servant.

Placing the piece of simple and incredibly old iron into the center of the summoning circle, Lorelei stepped back once more to begin the incantation she had memorized for this very occasion...

"Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Let each be turned over five times, simply breaking asunder the fulfilled time.

Let silver and steel be the essence. Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation. Let my great master Schweinorg be the ancestor. Raise a wall, against the wind that shall fall. Close the four cardinal gates. Come out from the crown. Rotate the three-branched road reaching the Kingdom.

I shall declare here. Your body shall serve under me. My fate shall be with your sword. Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail. If you will submit to this will and this reason…… then answer!

An oath shall be sworn here! I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven. I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell! – From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three great words of power, come forth from the ring of restraint, Protector of the Balance!"

As she chanted aloud the incantation, Lorelei saw the circle before her begin to glow with what at first was a faint red light. Yet as she spoke each line of the incantation, the circle seemed to glow brighter and brighter, and the command seals on the back of her left hand began to glow as well. Brighter and brighter the glowing became as she continued on, until upon finally delivering the last remaining line of the ritual...the summoning circle erupted with power in front of like an explosion, causing the homunculus to pull her arms up to protect her eyes and head.

Had she...done it? Had she managed to summon a servant? The servant she wanted?

Fate/Empty Providence

@Moonlit Sonata In b4 we learn that the Tohsaka family is the "forgotten family", and that they had some former Tohsaka female head who was the one that created the physical vessel of the Holy Grail instead of Justeaze von Einzbern. Zouken likely fell in love with said Tohsaka female magus as well.

Also writing my initial post as well~

Fate/Empty Providence

Sure, I will roll with Rostam and Lorelei, no prob. That healing is going to make them a nightmare team.

@Beloss

It has been decided! Not even the Illuminati can stop us! Our team shall seize the Grail through much glorious combat! >:D

And we shall win from smashing faces in with Rostam's giant mace from the back of a badass giant Noble Phantasm horse. Because that would be literally awesome....and while i am working on a college assignment this ridiculously late into the night i might be hallucinating cool mental images a tad bit as well. Whatever works best! XD

Though i agree about the healing magecraft of Lorelei's making them a nightmare team, especially when combined with Rostam's sheer attack power and tankiness of sorts.

There goes Rostam's plan to lock his Master inside a hermetically sealed lead case to keep them safe from Assassins...

@Beloss

Hey, Plan A does not always work out. At least we have a hyper-observant horse to help keep her safe!

@Holy Grail pssst, saber. destroy the grail.

@Cu Chulainn

*Chi-You Shrugs* "Hey, i don't mind. I mainly just came here to smash some faces in. But these stupid magi in their stupid quest for the Root just had to go and corrupt the magic mud cup we were all promised if we won this thing, didn't they?"

Fate/Empty Providence

And meanwhile I'm here thinking literally every master is really cool and have no idea who to ask XD.

@Ijoyen

Also this. Seriously, everyone has made some cool masters and servants so far, and i look forward to having fun in the RP when things can get started.

Though just to give a head's up or everyone i am not going to be here (or at least unable to post) on Saturday unless a miracle happens. Then again, i am usually unable to post on Saturdays due to work. XD
