@1Charak2: If we're going to insist that mystery still functions like that, the fact that there's a location in the middle of the pacific ocean that lets you summon historical and mythological figures is pretty mysterious, given not even the Association understands how it works. >.>

Servants can fire themselves, yes, but they can also resist being fired. And Servants are part of Fusang's law enforcement, meaning that someone trying to escape to use a Servant as a weapon is immediately going to be attacked by other Servants. Karna can still be defeated by other Servants. So can all your other heavy-hitters.

You don't start an arms race because you literally cannot have an arms race against Servants. What do you even do to try and surpass them? There's nothing. So rather then provoking the island full of superhumans that's policing itself effectively, maintaining an at least neutral relationship seems like the vastly better choice.

Fate/Eternum

@1Charak2: And later on the US military gets involved.

It's still pretty evident that magecraft isn't just up and vanishing, it's pretty clear that element is outdated in terms of the setting's lore. Mystery does indeed exist, but it's not just going to up and vanish in this scenario.

Also Fate/requiem still exists which shoots this down from the start.

Do people riot non-stop because of nukes? No. And nukes don't have a will of their own to resist being fired. And also aren't all in one place where they could be stopped by other nukes. Again, there's pretty much no nation in the world that could hope to eliminate Fusang or any Servants on it, so why not just keep a friendly relationship?

You also have to go to Fusang to summon a Servant without the Holy Grail. It's not possible to just summon them willy-nilly on your own, this specific location is unique as a result and is tied to the UN and multiple nations. If someone wanted to summon a Servant to attack a city, they'd need to...

Get to the island.
Summon the Servant.
Leave the island unnoticed.
Have the Servant agree with them and be unable to resist seals if they do not.

That isn't easy given that Fusang is set up to avoid these kinds of things happening.

Fate/Eternum

@1Charak2: Fate/grand order pretty much kills the whole "magecraft disappears with the advancement of science/magecraft disappears if it's revealed" thing dead(Chaldea is tied to the UN and other organizations are aware of what they're doing). Which is good, because it was always a very weak element of the setting that never made sense. Requiem, which this is inspired by, also kills that pretty dead.

I'm not sure why people would be rioting, but it's probably done and over with by this point if it ever happened in the first place.

Finally, Fusang was created under agreements with the UN, and now that it exists there's pretty much nothing that anyone in the world can do to stop it existing, so why poke the hornets' nest rather then make sure the relationship is good?

Saber - Benienma

Patience was one of many virtues that was should be possessed by one who desired to be both a judge and an innkeeper. A judge was one who patiently listened to testimonies and would be able to deliver a fair verdict. After all, it was the difference between condemnation and salvation, between punishment and reward. An innkeeper had to be patient with their guests, listen to their needs and complaints, and respond accordingly. Ideally, a good innkeeper would have no complaints, but an accurate prediction of the future, of what may happen, was impossible. And of course, patience was indeed something required of someone currently waiting for their Master to conclude their important lessons.

Thankfully, the Saber-class Servant Benienma had plenty of patience. In order to accompany her Master to school, for her Master's benefit(and because they were on-duty after classes) she had assigned some of her assistants to care for the inn. As of now, the tiny, redheaded girl was wearing an outfit that her Master had purchased for her. Initially, she had asserted that such a thing wasn't necessary, but Hakuno had insisted... and... ah! It was... it was perfect! The shirt even featured a picture of a lovely bird upon it, and the skirt was quite easy to move in! The thigh-high stockings were similar to her usual legwear, and while these shoes were quite different from the geta she had been used to they were very comfortable.

The kindness of her Master, buying her this outfit even though it was not required, was something that would be held near and dear to Benienma's heart.

The only sign of her usual clothing was her hat. Within it, as usual, sat one of her sparrows, currently preening itself and peering about as Beni waited for her Master. Their duties as part of Fusang's volunteer law enforcement were incredibly important, in order to preserve the safety of the innocent!

Indeed, her Master's drive to do such a thing had solidified Kishinami Hakuno as someone Benienma was proud to serve.

Soon enough, her Master had exited the school, and the small girl immediately greeted her.

"Of course I am, Master," she responded to Hakuno's question with a smile, "Our duty is of the utmost importance dechi. If I wasn't ready, I would't be serving properly as a Servant dechi."

The matters seemed rather serious, but Benienma spoke rather brightly about them. After all, she was pleased to be taking part in such an important duty. While her love of serving as an innkeeper was strong, she would never forget her duty to the innocent.

Kobayashi Seria

The letter she'd received that morning had soured her entire day.

'We hope will soon find someone to continue our bloodline with.'

It was obvious what her parents truly cared about, what they were pushing her towards. Why she was here. Even during her lessons, Seria had been unhappy. It was likely her Servant had picked up on her irritation, though she hadn't mentioned a single word to the knight. She was too proud to begin laying her problems on Mordred. Besides, she had no intent of acting on her parents' urging, for as long as she could manage. There was no need to go telling her Servant about this.

Still, the fact that she claimed to be feeling unwell towards her club as an excuse to head home early was hardly something the knight would fail to notice. Even if she was a rather rough delinquent-type, she did still make claims to knightliness... at the moment, Seria hoped that Mordred wasn't going to try and make any comments about it. She didn't want to talk about the subject.

Noting that she felt rather hungry, Seria begrudgingly decided to head to the convenience store. Maybe they'd have a candy bar or something to keep her Servant's mind off of her sour mood...

As she entered the store, she couldn't help but hear an announcement over the radio.

"... Gawain lost that fight?" she asked, "... Heh, I knew his Master was too confident. Pride doesn't mean stupidity."

Come to think of it, her Servant had known Gawain in life, hadn't she...?

@KoL: Hmm, okay, I have some ideas in that regard, then, in part to give other people in a similar situation a chance to get some interactions going.

Mihama Nanako

There was the mist! The circle was glowing! It was working! She could feel it working! She could see someone materializing, there was really a Servant appearing in her kitchen! She'd really succeeded!

Her heart hammering in her chest as she completed the ritual, Nanako tried to wave some of the mist away to get a better look at the Servant she'd summoned. Almost immediately, she was completely bewildered. The sight that greeted her didn't match any known Servants. The city's database had been formatted to catalog every mythological and historical figure that should be eligible. She'd poured over it again and again leading up to her summoning. But this...

A young girl, her age or perhaps somewhat younger. Incredibly beautiful and cute, which would be much easier to focus on if not for the fact that the way she was speaking was so... so... killing someone!? That... that wasn't unexpected, not really, Servants were often individuals who had killed others, but the way she spoke about it, as if it was the first thing she expected...

On top of that, weren't there a lot of other problems here?! Alter Ego class?! What was an Alter Ego!? Was she okay? It looked like she didn't have any legs after a certain point, instead replaced by the enormous stilt-like prosthetic limbs.

"I... I am your Master, but... but first...!" it wasn't difficult to pick up on the disdainful tone in Meltryllis's(who was that even?!) voice, "I don't want you to kill anyone! Can... we just talk first? It seems like you're really confused, er... So we need to talk things... out..."

Nanako trailed off.

What... was Meltryllis wearing? That was... just a plate... attached to her... her...

The brunette's cheeks immediately went bright red.

"... Y-you... a-also need a skirt... b-but first!" she shook her head. Dwelling on the crotch plate right now was definitely not a good idea! Meltryllis might have been literally no-one that Nanako expected, but that didn't mean she wasn't a Servant, and it didn't mean she wasn't someone worthy of respect and kindness.

After all, Nanako wanted to be friends with whoever she summoned! Even... Even if they outright said they were disgusted to be here at all!

"Do you want to sit down?" she asked, tearing her eyes away from the crotch plate, "I'm really happy you answered my summons, but I'm also really confused, so, um... we should really figure all this out!"

Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

"Oh?"

One of the mirrors sparked, and immediately another laser slammed into the downed shade. It still wasn't quite dead, but a hole had been burned clear through its twitching, thrashing body.

"Your job? That you weren't doing?" Kagami continued, cocking her head to one side as she floated above the centipede-like shade's quivering form. "My my, that's arrogant. To think someone like me came to rescue a piece of junk like you..."

She grinned as she spoke. It could hardly be called a friendly one.

"A coward? There's no magical girls in the world a worthwhile as me, but you certainly stand among the worst of them. Hiding?"

Kagami let out a chuckle.

"How pathetic. Go and tuck your tail between your legs and run, fox. You should give up on the Hex Night if this is your response to a shade."

Mihama Nanako

To be honest, she felt a little guilty.

She hadn't gone to class today. She'd claimed she was sick, and given she hadn't taken a sick day before now they'd believed her. But the truth was something completely different.

The truth was that Mihama Nanako had a plan. Unfortunately, that plan had to unfold today, of all days. There wasn't really any way to get around it, she had to target the time of the month, the time of day, when her power as a magus was at its peak. That happened to be during the school day, today. So she didn't really have any choice.

She couldn't really lie to herself and claim she wasn't nervous. The last time she'd attempted something like this... well... she didn't really like to think about it. But now, things were going to be different. She was going to summon a Servant! Nanako could barely contain her excitement at the prospect. She was really going to summon someone... she'd been trying to obtain a catalyst, but that was easier said then done. Nanako supposed that finding an ancient artifact tied to a specific heroic spirit was going to be pretty difficult, after all.

Most of the day until now had been spent cleaning her apartment. It hadn't exactly been easy, not because her apartment was messy(it wasn't! It really wasn't!) but because locating a position to place the circle was kind of difficult. There wasn't a ton of room where she lived, and on top of that it wasn't really possible to make a circle on carpet. So she'd ended up settling for doing it in the kitchen. It was a little on the cramped side, she'd probably end up apologizing to whoever it was she managed to summon...

But Nanako was still really excited! This time she was more prepared. Having to use chicken blood was a little gross, but for rituals like this some kind of sacrifice was usually required. If you couldn't fill it in with mana, you had to use something else. And Nanako was hardly a fountain of mana. She was sure she could sustain a Servant, but she didn't really have the means to fill out the ritual like that.

And so chicken blood it was! As gross as it was to work with, spilling it all over her kitchen floor, onto the circle.

Aaah... what historical figure would she summon? What were they going to be like!? Nanako had looked at other students at her school, those who had successfully summoned Servants already, and couldn't help but want the same kind of relationship. So she was going to make friends with whoever it was she summoned, no matter what!

... Well, maybe not if it was something like that creepy evil Caster that had to be taken out a month ago... She'd go right to the authorities if she got someone like that. But otherwise...

She was going to make friends with them!

Nanako tried to calm herself, however. She had to get this right. She had to take it seriously. Even though her heart was pounding in her chest, it was time.

The brunette took a deep breath. She'd practiced the chant every night, just in case.

"Silver and iron to the origin..."

She could already feel the mana flowing through her body.

Nanako was certain...

This time she'd succeed!
