The HOLY GRAIL WAR Meme

 

Seven Masters, magi of the present day. Seven Servants, heroes of days past.One Holy Grail, granting whomever claims it a wish. Only one team of Master and Servant may claim it.
Who will it be?
For those unfamiliar with Fate/Stay Night or Fate/Zero, you can find a better explanation of the Holy Grail War here. (Note: The Holy Grail War in Fate/EXTRA functions in a dramatically different way, and one not followed for purposes of this meme.)

Instructions
1. Comment with your character. In the subject line, put that character's name, canon, and which role (Master, Servant, or either) you would like them to fulfill. Though not mandatory, it would be preferred that you give a brief summary of your character as they will (most likely) be AU'd into the setting. (NOTE: If your character can fill the role of Servant, I suggest you state which class(es) -- Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, or Berserker -- they fall into.)
2. Reply to others' comments. Pick your character's role (and the other character's if they list "Either" as their preference), then use the RNG to pick a scenario that fits the two characters' roles.
3. Enjoy! Though there might be triggers, depending on how the prompts are interpreted.


TWO MASTERS

1. Battle. Who says that Servants get to have all the fun? After all, most Masters try to kill each other, too. Whatever the circumstances, the two of you are locked in a fight. Neither of you are willing to use your Command Spells just yet, so no Servants here. Just two magi duking it out.

2. Alliance. There's a bigger threat out there. Either one Servant is exceptionally powerful, or the situation has changed and the participants need to take action aginst it. One way or another, you're teamed up with one of your rivals for the Holy Grail. How long will this last before you try to stab each other in the back? Or, will something more develop?

3. Protection. Uh-oh! One of you has lost your Servant! Unfortunately, there's no way you'd get to the church safely on your own, so the other one will help you get there! Or maybe you don't trust the priest presiding over the Holy Grail War and are giving shelter to them yourself? Given their track record, no one would blame you.

4. Death. One or both of you lay dying. It might have been by the other's hand, or by someone else's entirely. How will you spend your last moments in the presence of one of your rivals?

5. You, Too? Surprise! You may have been friends before, but you've just discovered that you're both Masters! How will you handle this revelation?

6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!


MASTER AND SERVANT

1. Are You My Master? The summoning is complete. Whether intentional or not, catalyst or not, a magus has summoned a Servant. What kind of meeting was it? Was everything totally under control, or did a hitch occur? Or maybe it happened in the middle of a life-or-death situation!

2. Identity. Either the Servant has flat out told the Master their identity, or they unleashed their Noble Phantasm. Either way, the cat is out of the bag. How will the Master react, now that they know their Servant's name and legend? Will anything change between the two?

3. Battle Aftermath. A battle has just ended. Who participated? Are either of you hurt? Did the Master have to use a Command Spell? Any number of things could have happened here.

4. Discord. Uh-oh. It looks like the Master and the Servant don't get along. Here come the arguments! Don't do something stupid, like waste a Command Spell over a triviality...

5. Love. And then, there's the opposite. Sometimes Masters and Servants fall in love with each other. How will this affect things?

6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!


TWO SERVANTS

1. Battle. This is what usually happens when two Servants meet -- they duke it out. This probably says enough as it is.

2. Alliance. There's a bigger threat out there. Either one Servant is exceptionally powerful, or the situation has changed and the participants need to take action against it. One way or another, you're teamed up with one of your rivals for the Holy Grail. How long will this last before you try to stab each other in the back? Or, will something more develop?

3. The Grail Dialogues. Maybe you're not interested in fighting just yet. Maybe you just want to sit down and talk with the other Servant. Find out what they want, what makes them tick. Get some wine while you're at it -- nothing like good wine to go with good talk!

4. Death. One or both of you lay dying...again. It might have been by the other's hand, or by someone else's entirely. How will you spend your last moments in this War in the presence of one of your rivals?

5. Identity. Congratulations, you've just learned each other's identities! Will this change the situation, or will you press onward?

6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!

Veylin Arlette | OC | 20+, OTA for shipping

[ Accidental Master, who can do a bit of Magecraft with her hoops. One scenario is that, her brother is the original Master, but he's out of the picture and the role could be passed on to Veylin. Or she just happened to own the catalyst that brought the Servant forth. She can't fight but has a lot of mana for a normie, either way. ]

master/servant, battle aftermath?

[merelyatool]

I apologize, Master. [ Assassin bows deeply as she speaks, a hand pressed flat to her middle. ] I allowed you to come in harm's way.

[ And Veylin had left it unscathed, thanks only to her class container's high agility and a quick reaction. Still, that alone isn't enough to make up for the fact that the situation had occurred in the first place. Assassin has already double- and triple-checked the security of their current location — not her Master's usual home, but a closed market Assassin has commandeered as a place of temporary respite.

She straightens up, and the only sign of hesitation in her manner is the way her weight is poised on her back heel, as if she were about to pivot. After a few seconds of silent consideration, she asks: ]

Is there anything you would like?

[cercle]

[ Veylin was shaking after what she's been through, like anyone who's never seen intense violence like that... or someone who has but wishes to forget. She tries to calm herself, grabbing something soft to tightly hug, feeling her heart rapidly pounding against her chest. She looks down, not answering Assassin's apology with anything more than a distant hum ]

Some tea.

[ She says, hesitating and glancing to her side as she draws her feet and legs closer to herself. ]

Or maybe something strong.

[ She glances to Assassin, very briefly before turning her gaze away once more, ashamed that she wants to get buzzed after what happened ]

I'll let you decide what it is...

[ She sighs exhaustedly, muttering "I just want to go home" to herself. She never wanted any of this, but her brother had to get himself involved. Now he's gone, and she's left to pick up the pieces of what he's done while mourning for him. It made her very distant to Assassin, keeping their relationship professional. It's working to her detriment, since she doesn't have anybody to talk to anymore, making her feel alone in a War that would likely claim her life. ]
