cʜᴀʟᴅᴇᴀ pʜᴀɴᴛᴀꜱᴍ 3 [OPEN POST]

[formidable]

Premise Okeanos has been conquered a long while ago and yet there is yet ANOTHER observed irregularity in the middle of the ocean. The waters are eerily calm, the sky is clear with only a few white clouds dotting the sky. There is no land in sight. What is there instead, but a titan of a cruise ship full of luxuries such as fully furnished bedrooms, an indoor waterpark, an equipped gym for exercise and sports, an industrial kitchen with a stocked cabinet of food supplies, a ballroom, a mini-golf course, bowling... And more! The Servants of Chaldea aren't slackers by any means, but a little more fun can't hurt, right? But maybe this time around, things won't be as straightforward as it seems... "Chaldea Phantasm" is an open sandbox RP post for players to roleplay in the setting based on the mobile game, Fate Grand Order and the Fate franchise. You can play out scenarios between Master and Servant(s), Servants fighting each other, monsters, material/event grinding, AUs, etc. This post will have actual prompts that can be used at your leisure! Otherwise, feel free to write up your own scenario. A) Waku Waku Splash! A certain child king has brought it upon himself to deck out the indoor swimming pool with his own personal touches so everyone can have an exciting and enjoyable experience. There's a current pool, a wave pool, a HUGE water slide, and even pools for diving and racing. You know what this means! Swimsuits! There are rules in place to keep the peace and one of them is of particular note. "Troublemakers will be banned from Waku Waku if they are caught misbehaving, disturbing and/or be harassing our female guests. The following guests have been banned:" Archer (Gilgamesh - Adult) Archer (David) Saber (Gawain) Saber (Fergus mac Róic) Lancer (Fionn mac Cumhaill) Lancer (Cu Chulainn) Lancer (Leonidas) Berserker (Spartacus) Caster (Merlin) Caster (Mozart) Rider (Blackbeard) "Thank you and have a nice day. If you have questions for the management and want to protest your ban please talk to Heracles." Honestly, it really is up to you whether you take this ban list seriously or not... B) Fate/Grand Blue This is your more general SOL prompt. Have a walk around the beautiful cruise ship. Enjoy the blue sky! Maybe do some fishing. Raid the fridge or wait until the Kitchen Moms of Chaldea create a fantastic spread for everyone. Reenact that scene from the Titanic (except the boat sinking part). There's a karaoke machine in one of the lounges that might be fun to do! C) A Study in Ocean Blue SPECIAL EVENT A body has been found in the ballroom! The poor deceased man looks as if he was the captain of the ship. There may be several clues littered around the ballroom and into the captain's quarters that may lead to an answer! Or not? Make sure the body doesn't disappear and don't run into ghosts on the bottom floors of the ship if you try to solve this mystery! (For this prompt, feel free to write the mystery any way you want! Comedy option is that the body disappears, serious option, it was ghosts.) E) Fatal Battle!? Something sinister and monstrous this way comes. The more keen-eyed and alert Servants may have noticed a presence that has marked this oceanic singularity as a threat and it comes in the form of a titanic Water Dragon. The cruise ship trembles as the beast approaches, angry that its territory has been invaded. Hopefully, our more skilled Riders will take the wheel and navigate around it safely, but it's up to you to subdue the dragon and try not to get swallowed whole, there's a whole other level inside and maybe valuable mats and a Grail!?. Good luck with your Boss Battle! Basic Guidlines ➢ In the subject line or in your opening thread, please say if you're opting in or out for spoilers! ➢ If you have a fanmade Servant, please try to link to information or have a quick summary of your character! Likewise with cross-canon characters with a Fate/AU. ➢ Be kind and courteous to one another about spoilers, please! ➢ If stuff gets mildly NSFW or something just mark your threads and we'll be good to go! ➢ A high seas adventure...?

[ It's honestly just too much... what with the high pool-to-person ratio, the sun, and the fact that people were not wearing gear for battle. They came here to fight, not to relax; so he'll be judging each and every one of them. Okay, maybe only the more blatant revelers. ]

I am not surprised.

[ Seriously, as a chosen of gods, Gilgamesh should show some restraint. ]

Are you still going in?

[ If not, he can fetch Sanson a coat. ]

[painalty]

[That'd be great, coatbro, but Sanson nods. In any case, if they had to fight, his sword was just one reach into hammerspace away.]

Marie Antoinette wanted me to accompany her. [His cheeks color a little. Who was he to say no to his queen? Also, Mozart was banned.]

[erstderletzt]

[ It's probably better for the both of them that Ain chooses to not comment on Sanson's expression. ]

A valiant duty, no doubt. [ A pause. ] I can give you some moral support, if you prefer.

[ They are sort of both executioners, so he'll afford the Assassin more respect and concern than other Servants. If Sanson needs someone to go with him (and diffuse the tension), he'll bend his self-imposed rules just once. ]

[painalty]

[Yeah, don't. Or Sanson will just presence concealment his way out.

The offer surprises him a little, and the blush remains in his face. He still can't believe people are willingly approaching him and want to keep him company. It's nice, but...yeah.

Yeah.]

That's...I wouldn't mind at all. And neither would Maria, I bet.

[erstderletzt]

[ It's a quirk of his that he pays absolutely no attention to what doesn't interest him, and pays absolute attention to that which does. Sanson falls into the latter. ]

It's decided, then. Lead the way.

[ Ain isn't going to take off his clothes, though. He'll go in as he is right now. ]

[painalty]

[Sanson isn't even going to tell him to take off his clothes. In any case, the dress code was...well, permissive, compared to the rest of the rules.

So he does lead the way, weaving past the large water slide and the wave pools, relaxing now that they are not talking about Marie. Especially about how she wanted him to be with her today. Ehehe.]

On the bright side, this means there are many choices in refreshments.

[erstderletzt]

[ It's a good thing that angels don't sweat, so he is able to keep wearing his layered coat. Getting splashed is another issue altogether, though...

His eyes pan over the pool, gaze unnaturally bright to be a human blue colour. ]

Would you recommend any of them?

[painalty]

[At least Sanson is in no position to be splashing him. If he even wanted to. Which he doesn't.]

The iced tea is very good, as well as their Citron Pressé.

[I HAD TO RESEARCH THAT LAST ONE.]

[erstderletzt]

[ Citron Pressé... I had to look it up too, but it's a good drink. ]

I see. I shall examine it later, then.

[ Really, his whole manner of asking Sanson for recommendations is because he has no idea of what he's supposed to do in a pool. Swimming and other assorted things are way below an angel's dignity, so he's just following Sanson's decisions. Better to trust a reasonable human than.... any of the other fools splashing around. ]

Is it wine?

[painalty]

[HAHAHA SANSON...A REASONABLE HUMAN...

Okay so compared to some Servants he can be reasonable if you get past all his guilt and self-loathing and inner emo monologue. And the blood and death bits. Yeah.

An angel can just float around in an inner tube or on a raft, maybe??]

No, it's actually a drink of lemon juice, water and sugar. You can mix it yourself and make it as sour or sweet as you want.

[erstderletzt]

[ Sanson is, in many ways, more easily understood by him than the rest, executioner duty included. Thus, he's practically a paragon of humanity in Ain's eyes. ]

Hm. [ Curious... while he doesn't need to drink, he supposes the experience can make him more favourable in the Master's perception. So he will deign to descend a little. ] A safe thing to imbibe, then.

[ Also, an angel on a floaty is also an abomination.

Okay, maybe not really an abomination. If he was summoned as a Caster, then perhaps he will be more inclined towards the idea.... ]

[painalty]

[Better to be a paragon of humanity then, rather than a pariah of society with bloodstained hands.

Unfortunately Sanson in any incarnation would be a stick in the mud.]

Indeed. [He pauses, his forehead creasing in worry.] I hope they have rules in place for the alcoholic drinks.

[Well, he didn't really give that a thought until now.]

[erstderletzt]

[ Ain is also a stick in the mud, so he sees nothing wrong with this. ]

You believe some might lose their composure with wine?

[ That is... a problem, yes. His expression shifts closer to a frown. ]

[painalty]

[AH, A KINDRED SPIRIT.

He answers that question, first, with a slightly pained expression.]

Absolutely. It has happened before.

[erstderletzt]

[ He's not surprised. But at the same time: ]

I do hope we do not need to take matters into our own hands.

[painalty]

Agreed. [Sanson casts an eye over the other Servants frolicking...possibly to the point of horseplay. Too bad Heracles is more focused on keeping the banned Servants out of Waku Waku.]

The rules aren't too strictly enforced, although Master might be able to tell them off if necessary.

[erstderletzt]

[ The master is not here, which is... a problem. ]

It seems we are in the clear for now, but if the need arises, I will take action.

[painalty]

[It's a good thing they're already close to the bar and there are more than a few empty spots for two sticks in the mud - I MEAN TWO REASONABLE SERVANTS - to sit and chill.]

And so will I.

[Despite strength only coming up to rank D. It's his duty. D for Duty.]

At least the bar isn't crowded this time.

[It was, awhile ago.]

[erstderletzt]

[ Sticks in the mud can have their dignity, too. it's fine. ]

You dislike crowds?

[ The question is posed when he sits down, careful to not crease his robes. ]

[painalty]

I prefer peace and quiet. [He hoists himself up onto the stool gingerly.] So yes, I'm not very fond of crowds.

[And they weren't fond of him EYYY

Plus, crowds brought back unpleasant memories of executions with large audiences of varying degrees of fascination and disgust.]

[erstderletzt]

[ Ain doesn't answer immediately, getting tea for both of them from one of the Servants who have taken up the task of manning it.

(He wouldn't buy from a person they didn't know.)

Once that's done, he indicates the cruise ship with a wave of his hand ]

How do you think about this entire Singularity, then? It's very... lax.

[painalty]

[Sanson looks up to see the Servant, er, serving them. Satisfied that it's a personage he knows, he makes no other complaint.

He tilts his head a little, at Ain's remark about the singularity being lax.]

It is, but we shouldn't let our guard down.

And I don't mean with regard to Servants and alcohol.

[erstderletzt]

[ The Archer closes his eyes, steepling his fingers in exact symmetry. ]

My thoughts exactly. I can feel a faint, dark presence here; thus I am quite concerned that some of the others might not take it seriously.

[ Call it his angel senses, but he's here with the impression that they are to fight, not enjoy themselves. ]

[painalty]

A dark presence...

[Sanson lets his voice trail off and he glances around, paying no attention to his tea for now.]

I'm certain others might feel it too. [There's a bad feeling like a prickle on the back of his neck. Did being an Assassin cause him to be attuned to omens of death or something?

Or was he just paranoid?]

[erstderletzt]

[ Sanson is an Assassin, but Archer is a celestial. Thus it stands to reason that he's much more perceptive. ]

Do you?

[ If he used a sword, he might have gripped it. ]

We can partake in the tea for now, but - if you can, I need your help to determine where it's coming from.
