Fate/Stay Night RP

The sixth holy grail has begun, Magus from all around come to become Masters and take part in this ultimate war. Our characters begin maybe a day or two after the final servant was summoned, thus beginning the war.

Joshua Kurogane smiled as he walked outside of his master's house for the last time. He walks home, which isn't too far away, and goes inside.

"Are you ready to help me take over the world, Berserker?" He asked his servant.

Located behind a well-guarded and elaborate gate, there was a path that led through a vast lawn and garden, and finally led up to what could only be considered a mansion. The home to the wealthy Tomoe family was kept in prime condition thanks to its unit of servants, hired by the Sir and Madam of the Tomoe household, and often kept in line by their.. rather unpleasant, daughter, Miho Tomoe. She wasn't particularly cruel, at least not in a violent manner, and yet she came off as intimidating and.. downright mean. most of the servants tended to avoid her due to this. The only ones she truly treated kindly were her mother and father.

Well, she was also nice enough to her newest companion, Rider, the warrior she summoned in her quest to obtain the Holy Grail. She tried, at the very least, not to irritate him overmuch. It was hard to be mean to one of the few people that stayed close to her, even if he really had no choice. The only other person that was near her, also forced, was Fujiko Tsukiwura, her personal servant and Caster's Master. She tended to treat her slightly better than dirt. She was quite fond of her, though, but obviously didn't show it. Currently seated in a chair in her room, the young ojou-sama breathed out a sigh of boredom, sipping at a cup of tea and making a face at how bitter it had gotten. "Eeehh.. sitting around and waiting is boring.."

Fujiko Tsukiwura, the previously mentioned servant, stepped into the room, bowing to her master before addressing her, "You called for me Ojou-sama?"

Miho turned and looked at Fujiko as she came in, giving her the usual disapproving look she always gave. "My god Fujiko, you're always so slow when I call for you," she berated her, letting out a sigh and shaking her head. Standing up, she proceeded to pace around the room for a moment in an impatient manner, before whipping around to look at Fujiko again. "Have you heard any word of other Masters in the area? Any at all? I'm, quite honestly, dying of boredom just sitting here!"

The servant girl didn't even seem to flinch at Miho's berating, keeping a calm and emotionless air about her, "Caster informed that the final Servant has been summoned Ojou-sama, but it seems no Master or Servant have made their move yet. If you wish, Caster and I could draw a Master and Servant out into the opening for you..."

Weirdest duo ever. A tsundere and a kuudere. Miho was used to the lackluster responses from her servant.. and she didn't blame her for being unenthusiastic. She too had come from an excellent magus family.. but lost it all and had to become her servant. Still, that didn't stop it from pissing her off, as most things tended to do. Huffing she shook her head as she calmed herself back down. "No.. I guess it wouldn't be the best idea to start running out and picking fights. The element of surprise is always useful, after all." Walking back over to her chair, she took a seat, crossing one leg over the other and adjusting her dress. "Fujiko, bring me some more snacks and some fresh tea. I suppose I'll just wait for a bit and see if another Master decides to reveal themselves to me."

"As you wish, Ojou-sama," Fujiko replied with a bow before turning around and heading out the room to retrieve the requested food and tea. Once out the room, she called out to her Servant, knowing Caster to be nearby just invisible whilst in spirit form, "Caster, the master is growing restless, have you been able to find the whereabouts of any of the Masters as of yet? I fear that if something doesn't happen soon, the master may decide to put herself in unnecessary risk."

Miho watched Fujiko leave, then sighed softly and laid her head on her arms when she left the room. Stupid. It was stupid how she acted, really. She couldn't help it, though. Maybe she'd grow out of it one day? Rolling her eyes, she smirked at herself. Probably not.

-------------

Indeed, Caster had been waiting outside the room the whole time, revealing herself to her Master when she left the room of that.. unpleasant little girl. She walked up to her Master, arms crossed, her expression unreadable. This one was pretty stoic and clam too, like her master, but she was more affectionate. Sighing, she reached up and patted her Master's shoulder. "I'll never understand why you care about that girl. She treats you quite poorly, Master. As for other Masters, I have felt the presence of another Master and Servant in another manor not too far from here, though it seems to have left that location and gone somewhere else for now. I've found no other definite sources, but I will keep looking if that is what you would like me to do, Master."

"I am merely a lowly servant, they may treat me how they wish," Fujiko stated as if it were a simple fact. There was no sadness in her tone, for she had accepted this path a long time ago and had no regrets in her choices, "But in any case, a nearby manor, you say? I know of no other magus family in this area. Hum... this is something that may need investigating... but for now, we'll follow Ojou-sama's orders and lay low."

Berserker grunted as response to Joshua obidiently following.
-----

Akihiko, turned page of book he read in his fathers study. Eyes following lines about concepts of spell's. Giving a sad sight as he lowered book of spells from his hand on the table leaning back on his chair.

"Guess it's time for dinner..." he said to himself, standing up heading to study's door.

Caster looked at her Master with an expression on disbelief. "Tsk. You're no longer a lowly servant, you know. You have a Servant now.. so that makes you a Master. In all honesty, you could easily kill that girl when she lets her guard down, and then you wouldn't have to worry about serving her any more. You could take over and restore the glory to your own family," she states, also as if this were a simple fact. Most Masters wanted glory for themselves, right? That's why she didn't quite understand why this servant girl remained how she was. If she were Master, she'dve taken out that spoiled girl already. Less competition. "Alright, Master. Just know that I'll do most anything you wish. All it takes is one order."

"Silence Caster," Fujiko's voice was calm but at the same time had a firmness to it that let the Servant know this was an order, "I will not hear anymore of such treachery. I've been given the task to protect Ojou-sama, I will not go back on my word. And I expect you to respect that wish of mine."

With that said, Fujiko walked briskly into the kitchen. Silently making the tea and snacks for her mistress. She kept her emotionless appearance, neither appearing angry or agitated. Even though what Caster said had greatly bothered her, she knew how to keep her emotions in check.

----

"Boo!" A voice yelled behind Akihiko as a southern looking girl appeared behind him. She had a cheeky grin on her features and her hands placed on her hips. She hadn't expected to get a Master such as him, but she had to admit he was a fun guy to mess with at times.

Oops. It was hard to tell with this, but she most certainly had bothered her Master with her last comment. Caster had learned quickly that this girl did little to express her emotions, so she had to pay close attention to the smallest changes in her voice and demeanor. She followed behind her master as she walked, hands clasped behind her back and she hovered a couple of inches above the ground. As they reached the kitchen, Caster bowed to her Master respectfully, her expression changing to one of apology.

"Master, I am very sorry for my suggestion. I will not offer it again, and I'll be sure to think my advice through before voicing my opinion again." She stood up straight again, placing her hand over her heart and giving her Master a very slight smile before her expression returned to its normal, near-blank state. "If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please ask." Her Master certainly did get on her nerves. She acted rather spineless, when she was really a strong-hearted girl. She refused to take a stand.. and this meant that she herself couldn't get ahead much with a Master like this. She supposed she'd just have to wait and see if that other little hime-sama of a girl would get herself killed anytime soon.

Joshua smiled, and said in english, "This is quite delightful, having a servant of my own..." He then went on to the kitchen, going over a series of ideas in his head. He had a berserker because he was intelligent, because he was one of the few capable of controlling such a beast. He had enough intelligence for the both of them, so he needed to think of a plan... First off, he had to locate other masters and servants, and decide on the best way to procede...

He would use a tracking spell of his own later...

-----

Rider smiled as he rose from the corner, and said, "You are a truly demanding Master. I'm happy that we have the advantage of those two on our side, but you might be a bit nicer. It would reduce the chances of rebellion,"

"It is fine, Caster," Fujiko said simply as she placed the items on a tray, "It's only natural that you would do what ever it takes for the Holy Grail, but I am not that kind of person, nor do I desire the Holy Grail. But if you really want to make amends..."

She then passed the snack tray to Caster, while grabbing the tea tray for herself, "Help me carry these to Ojou-sama."

Miho looked over at Rider, smirking slightly as she rose from her seat and walked over to her companion. He was one of the few people she could show her more kind side to. It was hard to get mad at this guy, for some reason, even in her tsundere fashion."Oh Rider, there's no worry about rebellion.. at least not if my servant can keep control of her Servant. Fujiko is quite loyal to me, so there should be no issues regarding that." She sighed, reaching up to pat her Servant's shoulder. "I know I should but, it's not that easy for me. You know that. I'm nice enough to you, anyway, so why are you complaining?" She smiled and giggled softly, then returned to her seat at the table.

----------

Caster was slightly dumbfounded when she was handed the tray, then looked at her Master and smirked. "Master, I will be sure to never underestimate you. You certainly are a crafty one." She held the tray carefully and waited for her Master to lead the way. "I do hope serving my Master's master will not become a common thing. It's.. rather strange."

"Aah!" Akihiko exclaimed in suprise taking hold of wall, turning around and looking at girl bit annoyed yet bit cheered up. "Sheesh Archer, how many times have you done that today? Fifth?!" He said to southern looking girl who was his Servant in holy grail war.

The dark haired girl remained silent, leading the way to her mistress' room. She walked quickly, knowing it would not do to displease her master by taking too long to bring the snacks and tea. Once she reached the room, she opened the door and headed toward the table, placing the tray down. While she waited for Caster to do the same, she picked up the tea pot and poored it into a cup before placing it in front of Miho. When she was finished with that, she took a few steps back and bowed.

"Is there anything else you wish of me, Ojou-sama?" She asked once she stood back up, straight.

--

"Nyaha, you is too easy Master," Archer chuckled at her master's reaction. Oh how much fun it was to surprise this guy, "Ah, but you were about to make food right? I'm starved, think you can make me extra large portions tonight? Gotta keep my energy up for the battles an' all."

Caster followed obediently behind her mistress, growing slightly irritated. This was foolish and boring, serving another Master than her own. it only hindered her goals further. She'd have to come up with some sort of a plan to get that little girl out of the way. Entering the room, she placed the tray of snacks on the table next to the tea, then backed off, her 'mission' completed. She watched Miho as she reached out and grabbed her cup of tea, taking a sip and smiling, very slightly.

"No." She paused for a moment, thinking over Rider's advice. Be nicer. Ugh, if he only knew how hard that was. It went against the isolation built around herself. Still, she had to try being a little nicer right? If only to placate Fujiko and her little monster of a Servant. that's it. "... thank you, Fujiko," she said, her voice small, not looking at her as she took another sip of her tea.

Caster smirked a bit, leaning on the wall with her legs crossed at the ankles. "Tsk. You really are a stupid little girl, aren't you, Miho?" This caused the ojou to lift her head and glare at the magical Servant, her irritation showing as she bit harshly into one of her snacks. "Servants should really keep their mouths shut. Their Masters would be wise to make sure of that." So much for being nicer.

"yes, and you'll get you extra portion. By the way, what's the situation regarding other masters?" Akihiko asked turning his back to archer placing his hand on the door knob, waiting for answer.

Fujiko shot Caster a glance, warning her that she should not say anything more. She then bowed to the mistress once again, "I apologize for Caster's rudeness, Ojou-sama."

---

"Ah well, Master, apparently the final servant has been summoned," Archer said brightly as ever, as if she was not taking this seriously, "Don't know nothin' bout any of the other Masters though. Haven't sensed anything close by, ya know."

Caster shrugged and smiled in a pleasant and affectionate at her Master, obviously not regretting a word she said. "Very sorry, Master. I tend to blurt out the truth randomly, especially when its staring one so hard in the face." Miho obviously did not enjoy this one bit, and was having trouble keeping her short temper under control. She picked up her tea and took another sip before speaking again. "I'd suggest putting a muzzle on your pet, Fujiko. She needs to learn her place." Caster burst out laughing at that, looking at Miho with a mocking smile on her face.

"Says the little girl who's too much of a coward to go and fight her own battles! You're terrible!" Caster smirked and shook her head, shrugging again. "But what can you expect from a spoiled little girl who can't control her own temper?" With that comment, something in the girl snapped, and she stood up suddenly, turning and giving Fujiko and Caster a look of.. well.. what could only be described as rage. ".. get out of my room. Get out! Now!"

Yet again, the dark haired girl didn't even flinch, even though Miho had yelled so suddenly and with such anger. There was a pause as she stared at her master, expressionless, before she conceded with another bow, "If that is what you want, Ojou-sama."

She turned on her heel, and walked calmly out, expecting Caster to follow behind her. Once they were outside the room, Fujiko stared ahead, not even glancing at her Servant. "We shall discuss this later," She said in a deathly calm voice before walk away at a brisk pace.

Rider looked threateningly at Caster as she spoke, with the full intntion of pulling his sword on her right there should he recieve the order. However, he didn't expect the order, and instead knew well enough that he would not need it. HOwever, he was one to be prepared for any eventuality.

He had decided to stay quiet during the exchange, because he knew anything he said would only escalate the situation.

Once they had left the room, he slackened the grip on his blade, and said, "Well, it could have been worse..."

Caster smirked slightly, waiting for her Master to leave the room first, looking at Miho. "Remember what I said, coward." She then turned and left the room, closing the door behind her and catching up to her Master. She hovered up off of the ground a bit, calling her spellbook to her side and flipping through the pages, the picture of nonchalance. She knew she was going to get punished for that one, but hopefully she'd get something out of it, like she hoped. "Of course, Master. I aim to please and serve you."

-------------------

Miho was tempted to scream, she really was. So, she did. Loudly and full of blind tsundere fury. It didn't last long though, and she forced herself to calm back down, whipping around to face Rider, her irritation quite blatant. "Worse?! How?! That little.. ugh!" She paced around the room for a moment, scowling. "I'll show her 'coward'. Come on, Rider. We're leaving, now. We're going to find another one of the Masters and take out my anger on them." With that, she stormed out of the room, fully expecting rider to follow as she made her way outside.

Rider closed his eyes as his master screamed. She then shouted at him, and he shrugged, before saying, "Yes master," He followed behind, keeping pace three steps behind.

"hmm, i see..." Akihiko said before opening door and stepped out from the study. Waiting Archer to walk out from study before closing door. The estate was eerily quiet as they heade toward kitchen area. "Look's like father won't be back for another few days...." He said as he pushed open kitchen door.
"So... any whishes for food?"

Fujiko paused in her step, but didn't turn around, "You don't mean that Caster, don't take me for a fool. I know you're only concerned with your own objectives."

The servant girl then sighed, before continuing on her way, "In any case, it's late and my shift is over so I'm heading home. I want you to spend the rest of the night patrolling the area. Maybe it will give you time to contemplate your actions."

---

"I've been hankering for something spicy!" Archer said jovially as she took a seat in the dining room, "Can you cook something like that up, Master?"

Caster looked absolutely shocked, if not for the fact that she was smirking. "As I said before, Master, I'm being sure not to underestimate you. I'll be sure to follow your orders, and you can believe what you like about my intentions." She really was a smart girl. She'd have to work hard to get this one to the end and receive the Holy Grail.. then get it herself. She floated over next to her master and smiled pleasantly. It'd be bothersome to search all night, but it wasn't as bad as she had thought. "Of course Master. I'll take care of it. I'll watch over your precious Ojou-sama, so have a good niiight~"

------------------

Miho was already almost to the town below her mansion by this point, her expression still one of irritation. Sighing deeply, she looked back at her companion and stopped to wait. "Rider. I would like for you to go and search for any nearby Masters or Servants, then come back and tell me, alright? It's time to get his tournament underway." She brushed her fingers through her hair and huffed, glancing back at the mansion. She assumed Fujiko was headed home by now, as her shift was over. Good. She wouldn't get in her way.
