Saber - Benienma

On sight of the burgers, Benienma had become quite distracted. While they certainly had maintained their good qualities... there was still plenty of things for the diminutive enma to talk to the cooks about.

"Master, I shall return in a moment dechi. There are important matters I must attend to dechi."

Reminding herself to seek out Suzuka and introduce her to remedial lessons at some point in the near future, Benienma vanished into the kitchen before anyone would be able to stop her.

Among those who were dining at the restaurant(many of which had been quite distracted by the site of a little redheaded girl disappearing into the back before a single person could even react enough to prevent it), one notable patron was a child, a young girl no older than nine.

While she was not incredibly famous, those familiar with the ins and outs of the city would likely recognize her after a few moments.

Tsugihara Amelia was a young girl born from the union of two very recently-created mage families. They had not expected to summon a Servant, but they had expected their daughter to learn quite a bit in a city full of magecraft.

It was difficult to separate a Servant from a child once they had been summoned.

While Amelia's Servant was not currently present(she had been asked to run an errand for the moment), those who worked in the CCF or had knowledge about the town might pay passing notice to her.

And thus they would likely notice, even though she was in a relatively crowded spot in the building, when she suddenly dropped the drink she'd been holding... and seemed to vanish. Anyone who hadn't been looking at her at all, who had never noticed her in the first place, would most likely miss this happened at all...

... But those who had noticed her presence whatsoever... would see a hazy shape, one hand over the unconscious young girl's mouth, swiftly departing from the restaurant...

Touhou ~ Distorted Records of Parallel Fantasy (Now Accepting)

Youmu listened carefully to what Akyuu had to say. There was something messing with the records of Gensokyo's history? To the point where the teacher fell unconscious attempting to read it? Not only that, but strange spaces had developed in Gensokyo... The moment that Hinanawi mentioned one of the altered records, the pale half-phantom froze for a moment.

Yuyuko-sama... was Yuyuko-sama in one of these spaces? Were the events of that incident being altered? If that was the case...

"... You... you're right, the Saigyou Ayakashi..." she trailed off. She didn't know just what was happening, but a terrible feeling had suddenly clutched at her heart. "I have to go. I have to see what's happening. If Yuyuko-sama is in danger, I can't wait any longer!"

At this point, incident resolution was a distant secondary to ensuring Yuyuko-sama's safety. Given how little was known about what was happening, and how historical records were being altered, there was no telling what was going on. But the chance of danger was far too great for her.

Immediately, Youmu turned and began to hurry off.

Fate/Rising Sun

Higanbana Shoujo

• Name: Sekiguchi Akane, also known "Higanbana Shoujo" to local residents
• Age: Physically, she is no older than 9 or 10. In actuality, she is around 469 years in age.
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Would you like to test your courage~?"
• Personality: Akane is motivated largely by the things she finds interesting. At times she could be considered quite lazy, but the moment something catches her attention, or she finds herself interested in someone, she immediately pursues that topic of interest with considerable fervor. Indeed, entertainment is one of her chief pursuits. In the past, she has entertained herself by frightening locals or people from out of town. Akane finds people who believe they are in danger to be quite amusing. Indeed, the reaction of human beings who are scared, confused, annoyed, or some combination of all of those three traits is something she takes pleasure in. Indeed, she enjoys nothing less then causing others difficulty. Even inflicting pain is enjoyable for her, though she has never casually killed anyone purely for the sake of her amusement. That is not to say there is no blood on her hands, however. Regardless, her pursuit of that which amuses her conceals two things: As a sort of guardian for the land, she feels some level of obligation to ensuring its safety, and the fact that she can be rather lonely. Even if she expresses her interest in people in ways that are likely to frighten them(and enjoys it) she is still liable to follow people simply to be near someone else. That being said, her interest in someone can easily turn deadly, if they are an opponent. Akane may not casually kill others without reason, but she has no qualms with the act.
• Skills: Akane has little to no practical skills of her own.
• Abilities: To begin with, Akane's existence is conceptually tied to the land itself. As long as the local land exists, killing her is a remarkably difficult prospect. This is not to say it is impossible, but even grievous injury or destruction of much of her body will simply cause her to reform within the bounded field containing her home. She does not age, nor does she suffer from illness. Some injuries can be mended on the spot, while others force her to break her body down and reform it within her bounded field. One way to end her life properly would be to sever her connection to the land itself, but this is difficult without the capability to interact with such connections. A large-scale ritual with the explicit purpose to denying her existence would be one method, and placing her within a reality marble and attacking her there is another. While truly killing her is very difficult, her body is no more durable then it appears and thus forcing her retreat into bounded field is no more difficult then inflicting sufficient damage. In terms of her capabilities as a practitioner of onmyodo, as opposed to more western methods, it can be said that she is possessed of exceptional circuits of exceptional quality.
  As an onmyouji her compatibility against spirits is high, though this does not mean she is capable of dispelling Servants. Still, spiritual existences are easily dealt with by her. As a part of the process that rendered her an existence tied to the land, Akane produced a bounded field containing her home, an expansive Japanese mansion surrounded by higanbana. She can freely manifest higanbana around herself, as well, creating an area of denial that drains the energy from those who enter it, though it is considerably less effective against Servants it can act as a defense against attack. She is also capable of utilizing ofuda to apply an energy-draining curse to a target, or even erode solid objects. Indeed, due to the nature of her existence she has a high compatibility with curses. Her ofuda can also be used for various methods of attack, such as causing them to erupt with magical energy or fix a target in place. As a highly adept onmyouji, Akane is highly dangerous to potential opponents. However, she can only defend herself from most Servants.
• Brief Backstory: In the local area, there is the tale of a mysterious little girl known as Higanbana Gozen. A child no older then nine or ten, with long black hair, pale skin, and red eyes wearing a red kimono. It is said she is accompanied by higanbana, and when she appears to someone something terrible will befall them. The most well-known version of the myth states that she will offer those who meet her a test of courage. If it is rejected, they will die in ten days, suffer terrible misfortune, or any other number of negative outcomes. If it is accepted, it is said something truly terrifying will occur, that may lead to the person's death anyway.
  This myth originates with Sekiguchi Akane. Hundreds of years ago, she was the child of a family that had long worked to create a 'permanent' human, someone who would exist even if the entire family perished. In order to accomplish this they had devised a ritual sacrifice that would tie the offering to the land, thus creating an artificial guardian spirit rather then resulting in the sacrifice's death. Their young daughter, Akane, became the subject of this ritual. It was out of a warped form of affection, her parents believing that their daughter living on forever was worth the process that it required, something Akane was unable to understand. An agonizing experience followed, her limbs broken and her body buried while she was still alive. Even though it succeeded, she suffered greatly in the process. The result was a living human being whose existence was thoroughly tied to the land itself, thus rendering her nearly immortal but incapable of leaving the local area. She was swift to reject her family in the aftermath, and did not mourn them when they perished. She has spent many long years, now, entertaining herself by scaring locals and other endeavors. It is only natural, then, that she was drawn to this Holy Grail War...

Phew. This is a weird idea, I know.

Blades of Iron Roses: An Anime-Inspired Fantasy Knight RP

A full-tilt sprint down the stairs that had been cleared was the best path forward. They had to reach Vosahnn's sister. They couldn't end this with the nem's sister dead. They couldn't...!

Even as that fear played at Fanilly's mind, she spurred herself onwards. Not a moment of doubt could be allowed. For that single moment could be the difference between life and death for the girl who was at the bottom of the crypt. The roguish man who had been leading the mercenary reinforcements had made it sound quite clear that she was alive... and Fanilly hoped that whoever was at the bottom with her would rather have a hostage they could attempt to use then a corpse that would seal their fate.

Rescuing a hostage wouldn't be easy, but it was their best chance!

The mercenaries had divided their forces too, but the bulk of the reinforcements had accompanied the cloaked man that gone up the right side. The moment Fanilly met one of their number, a tall bald man with a two-handed hammer, she ducked low under the initial swing! Driving herself forward, he staggered back and used the handle of his hammer in a bit to deflect her thrust. It worked, metal screeching against metal as he raised his hammer again...!

But she was faster, slicing through his side, cutting through leather armor and flesh in a single swing. To end his suffering more swiftly, she thrust the blade once more, upwards and through his heart.

But as she turned...

Fanilly was forced to bring her sword up, sparks flying as metal clashed on metal. Her attacker this time was a man in armor, plate armor, with dark hair and a light beard, grinning as he pushed his strength against her. At his sides were no living, human mercenaries...

But skeletal husks, some with no flesh at all showing bleached white bone underneath, others displaying some scraps of flesh, holding swords and shields, axes and maces... there were at least a dozen of them.

This had to be the work of the necromancer...!

---

The hulking Barukstaedian man was quite clearly a cut above the other mercenaries. Not only was he clearly far stronger and more skilled, but the runes on his armor and weapon spoke of some form of magical enhancement, though at the moment it was difficult to tell exactly what this meant.

What was quite obvious was the fact that he had already begun to move again, both hands on his two-handed axe as he made a bit to use the head as a ram, before swinging it once more to use the edge!

"Iron Roses? Yes, I'm quite aware," the hooded man commented, cocking his head as he spoke, face still concealed by the hood. "And I'm sure you would love to take me alive... but I think you're a little late."

Almost immediately he fired his crossbow before following it up with an incredibly, almost impossibly swift lunge forward. The mercenaries at his flanks, too, began their charge.

Fate/Eternum — Reboot

Mihama Nanako

Helping Meltryllis change wasn't difficult, even with the memory of the terrible scar forever carved into her wallet was still lingering in her mind quite intensely. First the figure, now this... but it was worthwhile, at least. She did want to patch things together with Meltryllis. She wanted to keep moving forward and keep making things better. And finding clothing that she liked was a good step... she'd grabbed a few underclothes options as well, to the further pain of her wallet, and her Servant had only shown interest in the smallest bikini she'd grabbed just because it was less expensive...

The fact that the Alter Ego had only her ordinary(if you could call it that) outfit made helping her change a little more embarrassing then she'd initially though, but when they were done...

... What was this feeling?

Deep inside her, this heartthrobbing sensation...

Meltryllis looked adorable in this hoodie! The purple-haired Servant was so slim and cute and the hoodie was over-sized for her and this was... this was... even after seeing how brutally Meltryllis could slaughter her opponents...! This was too much! It was too much! Meltryllis was too cute! She'd already been very beautiful and cute, even in spite of her sadistic leanings, but this hoodie... it was just...

It almost made Nanako forget about how expensive it was. Almost.

It was only when Meltryllis paused and took note of some others nearby, a girl who looked like she didn't get out much in many, many ways and what appeared to be some form of kitsune Servant. Presumably, they were both a pair.

"... Is that a compliment or..." Nanako scratched the back of her head uncertainly. She hoped it was, but Meltryllis didn't often make direct compliments like that and her wording as ambiguous enough to make it difficult to be certain.
