@Cu Chulainn: Technically, we have one Archer(if you're counting Gil, given he's just Gilgamesh here) and no Riders.

Fate/Eternum

@1Charak2: Honestly I feel like we somehow have completely different viewpoints on how mystery works in the Nasuverse. Perhaps because it's kind of vaguely defined and difficult to articulate, but based on what I know of the setting I don't see the issue here anyway. I'm putting my foot down, it's not erasing magic by existing. I would also like to state that it's not just a lot of leylines, anyway, since that alone doesn't allow for Servant summoning.

As for command seals, the ability to resist them goes up the more the order runs counter to the ideals of the Servant/magic resistance. Trying to order Arturia to destroy a city filled with innocent people would likely be something she could resist long enough to stick a sword through her Master, given it took three to make her destroy the Grail in /zero.

Fusang's law enforcement is composed of both Servants and Masters. Masters are still relevant as the anchor for Servants, allowing them to exist in the world.

It is not possible to summon Servants outside of Fusang without something like the Holy Grail, which is pretty difficult to obtain given the Einzberns sort of need to be involved there(or you need the Chaldea system which is a little murkier). The point being unless you have the cooperation of magi, it's not going to work.

However, Servant vacations is most likely a thing, because of course they'd want to visit their homelands for a while when able.

... And then @Raineh Daze comes along and easily explains what I was too worried about trying to articulate. ^^;

Fate/Eternum

@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.

Well, Nanako reacting to Melt being... Melt was fun.

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."
