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...?

fujimaru ritsuka (gudao) | spoilers okay!

[lastmaster]

[ the last time he wore this swimsuit, Ritsuka had spent more time on shore, scavenging for materials with his servants on an abandoned island.

but this time!! he was going to enjoy the water! paddle around in the water!! float around in the tide pool!!! go down the slide!!!! all while making sure not to let go of his little floats.

because… well… the truth is… Ritsuka wasn’t the best at swimming. in fact, he kinda…… fails????

but that’s not important. what’s important is that if he sees anyone harassing people you’re going to get a nice whack with his pool noodle. ]

[ obligatory sleeping in random places prompt. find your own ritsuko in awkward places! (like maybe next to that dead captain’s body???!!!) ]

[ wildcard!! ]

[abgrund]

[ Master is sleeping in the halls again.

Ain finds Ritsuko by virtue of his own decision to keep away from practically everyone else, wandering within the hallways of the cruise ship instead of the deck. The Foreigner's presence is muted, his shadow allowing him to blend into the dim walls and corners.

Why is Master here? Shouldn't be he outside?

He sinks down to approximate a kneeling position, tentatively laying a hand on Ritsuko's shoulder. ]

Master....?

[ His voice is deep, much deeper than his face might suggest. ]

[lastmaster]

[ he should just carry a pillow and blanket at all times with his frequency of falling asleep at weird places. it's a talent.

Ritsuka's still soundly asleep, probably tired from running around the ship and floating around in pools. instead of waking up, he just curls up a little more ]

whoa i typoed really hard there i'm so sorry lsfklsdjklfjskl

[abgrund]

[ Okay, that didn't work. He could technically shake Ritsuka a bit, but that feels rude. What might be more polite would be to carry Master to somewhere that he could rest safely. He's sure that he had passed a guest room or lounge on the way here...

Dark tendrils appear from the mist that pools at his feet, extending upward to support Ritsuka's frame in the Foreigner's thin limbs. Despite their murky appearance, they feel more like solid cloud than conventional marine sliminess.

It takes a short while before he is able to locate a suitable sofa and set his Master down. Will he wake up now? ]

lol its okay!

[lastmaster]

[ he's been carried around in various ways before including a bridal hold and just being slung over shoulders, but it's his first time being tenta-carried! too bad he's not awake to enjoy it...

thanks to the Servant's careful handling, Ritsuka's REMREM is mostly undisturbed throughout the journey. at being set down though, he fidgets a bit ]

Mmnn, no... [ it seems Ritsuka enjoyed the feel of the cloudy tentacles. it was kinda like a weird bed....? ]

[abgrund]

[ The movement makes him pause, unsure of what it means. Usually, people protest at being deprived of something they like. Did Master like this?

... the possibility does not usually occur to him. But if that is what Master wants, he supposes he can oblige.

Instead of standing (or floating) up, he settles himself down next to Ritsuka, leaving his tentacles tendrils in place. As legs are kind of unwieldy, he demanifests them so that his lower body fades into an amorphous mist.

This is a really weird scene so let's hope no one walks in on them... ]

[lastmaster]

[ it's okay there's probably been weirder scenes in Chaldea that's been walked in on.

with the comfortable tenta-bed staying put, Ritsuka lets out a content sound with a small smile. he snuggles in more, hugging one of the tentacles like it's the second pillow on his bed that he keeps around to hug while sleeping. it's comfortable, okay??? no judging please... ]

[abgrund]

[ Ain neither minds nor cares, so there is no judging at all.

Maybe he can reconfigure his tendrils to something more comfortable, but he lacks an idea other than copying the other Foreigners and suckers definitely aren't comfortable. So he'll just remain as he is now, watching the Master's face intently to see if he's ever in any discomfort.

After a good while, he would use one of his shadow hands to gently shake Ritsuka on the shoulder. ]

[lastmaster]

[ by now, Ritsuka has had a nice, long nap. which is rare, because most often people wake him up and shoos him off to bed or drags him off to somewhere. at the shakes, he rouses, turning his sideways body to face upwards towards the ceiling... and Ain's face ]

...? [ it takes him a while to realize what kind of position is, and what he's hugging in his arms. but once he does, there's a slight bashful look ] Er... Sorry? [ he lets go of the comfy tentacle ] Did I sleep long?

[abgrund]

[ He blinks when the Master wakes up, slowly backing away as to give him some space. Once Ritsuka regains his lucidity, Ain would retract his various appendages back to their proper positions and out of the way. ]

An hour, maybe two. [ The Foreigner folds his hands in his lap. ] Are you ill, Master?

[lastmaster]

[ as the other puts away the bed tendrils, Ritsuka also sits up, straightening out his clothes and lightly combing through his mussed hair ]

Hm? Oh no! I’m not ill or anything, don’t worry! [ see this smile it tells no lies. he might be a little tired but it wasn’t out of illness or anything ] Sorry for using you as a pillow for so long. I guess you were really comfortable.

[abgrund]

[ He's not sure if that was supposed to constitute a compliment, as one usually does not sleep on other people - but the Master said it, so it should probably be okay.

Curious, how things unfolded. ]

I would suggest sleeping in a room and not the hallway.

[lastmaster]

[ considering Ritsuka's always on a lookout for best arm pillows, it's definitely a compliment ]

I know, everyone tells me that... But I just get really sleepy sometimes. Mash calls it my special skill to be able to sleep anywhere. [ by now a lot of the old-time Chaldea Servants have gotten used to it ]

If you see me again, you can just wake me up there. I won't mind it.

[abgrund]

[ Wake him up, or carry him to a bed. He'll note this for potential use later.

Foreigner hums, a low, soft sound much like a foghorn. It resonates not with a person's ears, but with their body - a tremor against Ritsuka's ribs. Yet, it isn't uncomfortable, merely... unnearthly. ]

... what will you do now?

[painalty]

[Sanson is sitting on the side of the tide pool, dabbling his feet in the water quietly and staying away from the other Servants messing around. As Ritsuka floats past, he can't help but...stare.

That's a lot of pool toys. He blinks and has to say something.]

Er...isn't that a bit much?

[Also, there are a lot of servants around who can act as his lifeguards! Sanson probably included.]

[lastmaster]

[ Ritsuka stops the floating and looks down at the huge unicorn floaty he was on, with a purple pool noodle laid across his lap, a penguin and various candy floats stacked behind Ritsuka on the unicorn. ]

Th-They're fun? [ does he sound defensive? maybe. maybe he does ] Did... did you want to get on? [ he gestures behind. if all the floats were taken out there was more than enough room for Sanson to ride this unicorn with Ritsuka ]

[painalty]

[He's not judging, pls. But okay, they did look fun. Just not Sanson's idea of fun.

At Ritsuka's offer, Sanson just shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair. His floofy white hair, which looks like it hasn't seen any water for the day.]

Thank you, but I can manage.

[No, he really can. He kicks his feet lightly in the water as a wave comes rippling toward him and Ritsuka.]

[lastmaster]

[ you should clearly have some other type of fun. he reaches to the edge of the pool so he won't get swept away too far from Sanson ]

Really? Are you sure? The unicorn's really steady, it won't fall over or anything. [ unless Ishtar cannonballs into the pool or something ]

[painalty]

I'm not worried about that.

[The waves continue coming in, each one bigger and faster than the last...Sanson blinks, looking over at where they were coming from.]

They're getting stronger...

[lastmaster]

[ Ritsuka holds on a little more tightly to the ledge so he doesn't pushed away by the waves or worse, overturning and falling into the pool ]

Maybe someone's having a water fight? [ it did seem like there was more of a clamor than usual towards where the waves were coming from ] Er, m-maybe I should get out here for now...

[painalty]

[Uh-oh. Sanson squints into the distance and his brow furrows in worry - not the way it's usually furrowed.]

It seems like it. [His blue eyes flick toward poor Ritsuka clinging to the ledge before looking back over at where the waves were coming from. Holy crud, did a group of Berserkers decide to play chicken or something?

After a moment's hesitation, he stares at the water - before diving off the ledge into it. Sanson breaks the surface, brushing wet bangs from his face.]

I think both of us have to see what's going on. [Ritsuka has far more authority, being the Master and all.]

[lastmaster]

[ sanson stop making yourself wet and emerging like a sexy bond lady. thats not fair ]

B-Both of us? [ he looks at the incoming waves, figuring out how to go up the current ] Er, how about we just go from land? It's probably safer isn't it...? [ please don't overturn my SS Unicorn ]

THANKS I WANT AN AU OF RITSUKA AS JAMES BOND NOW

[painalty]

[LBR Ritsuka is Bond and all his servants are the sexy bond ladies who look so beautiful and handsome even when they're dripping wet.

Sanson thrusts out a hand to steady the SS Unicorn. He thinks for a moment.]

I thought of the "divide and conquer" approach. You can run to them out of the pool. [You know, he's slowly beginning to put the pieces together about Ritsuka and his mysterious horde of pool toys. But he hesitates again.]

And to be honest...the sun was already beating down on me.

[WOW???]

[shinssin]

[ Upon finding his Master, Yan Qing... blows into his ear to wake him up, because that's always fun. ]

[lastmaster]

[ !!!!! ]

Fwwaahhh! [ Ritsuka bolts upright, letting out some weird yelp-yell-flail thing and clasping his hand over the victim ear ] Wh-wh-what!?

[ ... ]

Yan Qing!!! I told you not to do that!!
