Singularity F: City District



The attack came fast. The knives thrown in front of him were easy enough to strike down with a swift flick of his rapier, but they were surrounded. It was only a matter of time before something hit him in the back, or his Master got hit.

Thankfully, Assassin seemed to have a plan. Don Juan stood guard over the pair as the smoke bomb burst into being, protecting them from any desperate knife throws. And as the smoke cleared, naturally, his allies had disappeared.

Don Juan grinned. It still wouldn’t do to underestimate these enemies. After all, they massively outnumbered Saber’s team of misfits. Still, with the point of weakness removed, now he could afford to go on the offensive. He spent a almost a second looking, picking out a target among the ephemeral shadows that flickered between the buildings, predicting a possible path for them, and-

He burst forwards, magical energy burning in his legs carrying him in a blindingly fast leap that carried him into a single one of the enemy Assassins, skewering it with his blade. One down. But he certainly couldn’t shred through all of them like this, particularly if they changed targets or tactics. He withdrew his sword and flicked away the blood, turning to scan the area for the rest of the foes while keeping his sword ready to deflect any daggers.

What do you think, Master? He asked, responding to Daniel’s alert. Should I draw them away to Rider, or distract them so we can reconvene here? It was the type of decision he’d usually make on his own, but he wasn’t sure exactly what Assassin was doing, or where or how secure Daniel was. He needed some input here.

Daggers flashed his way, and he spun into a jump, deflecting the first volley and vaulting the second. He ascended to the roof of a nearby building. The high ground was advantageous here, at least cutting off a number of angles for attack. Once more, he began to scan the area, until his eyes landed upon-



“Ehehehe…” Don Juan chuckled, before leaping again, making use of his Prana Burst to arrive rapidly in front of her. Raising his sword, he began to thrust. This time he wasn’t going beyond his body’s normal strength; using none of his demonic abilities. Rather, this flurry of attacks was all skill, and not intending to kill. It was a dazzling display of swordsmanship, a boast in the form of motion. The rapier stabbed forth with extraordinary swiftness and skill, each thrust hitting not the Assassin, but her outline. Each direction she could move was cut off, point by point. To the target of the flurry, and indeed to anyone who could see it, this was itself an attack - one of intimidation, directed at their minds. In between a pair of thrusts, he winked, and flashed his teeth in a relaxed smile.

Perhaps he was wasting time. Or perhaps he would learn a lot from this. The group’s response to this would tell him how much they valued each individual member. If their minds were linked, he’d likely be able to tell from how they responded to his attempt at intimidation. And above that, he’d be able to tell what state their minds were in - whether they attempted to talk, or surrender, or simply fought to the death. Yes, this was certainly a profitable use of his time.

Or maybe he was just flirting. But that could be profitable, too.

In either case, he was likely to find out soon.






Hell?



After his little speech to the kid, everything got a little rushed. Saber just went along with the flow. It was nice to meet everyone, even if he didn’t get the chance to properly introduce himself. Sure, the gender ratio was a little disappointing, but that one queenly Archer might make up for all that.

Before long, they had begun the Rayshift.

As a piece of debris burst into flaming pieces, he interposed himself between it and the master, allowing the pieces to scatter against his outstretched cloak. Quickly, he snaked a hand through the flames that hit him, and brought it up to his mouth. Another cigarette. Well, nobody would dispute his right to smoke here, at least. There was already enough of that around.

“This place looks pretty busted up, huh? Wonder what happened here.” Saber spoke casually, as if the cataclysm of flames around him was nothing more than a summer breeze.

“Well, the kid’s likely to melt if we stick around here too long.” Don Juan said, looking over his young Master, trying to gauge his response to the heat. “Though I don’t wanna just jump out of the frying pan, into the fire - I guess in this case it would be out of the fire, into the bigger fire.” He looked over towards his fellow Servants. “If you guys check North and South, I can keep the kid company.” It wasn’t that he was taking charge, just a simple suggestion that occurred to him.

For a moment, he considered jumping up to a building with Daniel, but that might end up collapsing on them or something. Better to hold tight for the time being.

“Heh, come to think of it - looks like all us scouting types got stuck together, huh? The others might be missing us, so let’s try and find them as fast as possible.” Yeah, it was a purely practical decision. Not that he wanted to be working as closely as possible with that Archer...

“Kid, can you get in contact with mission control? They might be able to help us find the others - or see if there’s any hostiles in the area. Though something might have gone wrong here.”

Don Juan paused, and took another drag of his cigarette. This separation was probably a bad sign, but it was impossible to know what it meant.

Hey there! Sorry for the delayed reply, I just woke up.
Like I said a few posts prior, I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping the English Teacher for myself along with the Leader's Mother since I feel like certain plot points would make a more diverse version of the character impossible or very, uh.. it'd clash.

That said, if you wanna snatch her up, I'll PM you some details that're pivotal to the character, or if you want to play a teacher that's entirely your work, you can make one too! The roles available are basically infinite under the 'random bystander' tab, after all.


Yeah I'll happily have a look at those details, if that's alright.
Hey guys, I've been meaning to branch out from my usual fandom stuff for a while now and Cu pointed this out to me, seems pretty interesting. I'm hesitant about trying to reserve one of the more important roles, but with the club members filled I'll admit the one that speaks to me most is the English teacher.
@VitaVitaAR
Are the current slots up to date? I thought it was only Archer, Assassin and Berserker that were free but now it looks like Rider and Caster are.
How similar is their Magecraft to what it is in the Prisma Ilya timeline?
Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, since one of the teams is Ainsworth, would it be possible to app an Ainsworth master? Also, are masters mandatory for everyone who's making a Servant?
Hm. Actually, is EMIYA summonable under normal conditions? I suppose F/SN is pretty abnormal, and Rin's summon uses a pretty rare catalyst.
That's understandable. I might just stick to Atalanta Alter then.

Actually, one more question. I know the rules say Reality Marbles are banned, but does that include canon examples like EMIYA or Iskandar?
I can link to an RP I posted him in a while ago, but I'm not really happy with that version of him and I'd want to rewrite a decent chunk.

Here it's.
