Sent PM. I should of been specific when asking, sorry about that.


I know there was somewhere I was forgetting to post!

What was the result of Mathew doing X (as discussed in PM's + Email)?


Mathew rubs his temples. He needed to calm down.

"I'm sorry Bruiser, I shouldn't of yelled at you like that." He says. "I just need a second to think....." His face had gone pale from the shock, and it just hit him how weak he felt.

After taking a minute or two to compose himself, he asks Bruiser, his voice barely a whisper, and quite weak. "Do you know in what direction the magic came from? And if you felt it again, could you identify it?"

After hearing her answer, he realized they have to act now to get information. Asking Bruiser to help him to the car, he allows her to drive back to their base aw quick as possible.

Upon reaching the base, he readies [Action x] and releases [Action y]. These are discussed in the previous PM's sent to you.

Checks: (it appears they didn't go through on the PM
[Skill T] [augmented by magic T, spending 50 mana apiece]
1st: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
2nd: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27


PM'ed you a bunch of stuff instead of e-mailing.

Matthew Swift kisses his wife goodby as she gets ready to board a plane departing Fuyuki City. Bruiser standing behind them dressed in a Kimono.

wife: "Please be careful dear..."
Matthew Swift: "I know I will."

Bruiser: "..."
Matthew Swift: "Is something wrong Bruiser?"
Bruiser: "...It's...It should be nothing...Lady Swift, are you sure you should not put off this departure for another time..."

Matthew...

0800 - 1300

Mathew stands there, completely horrified by what just happened..... It can't be....

The one person who had supported him. gone. GONE!

Wait. Bruiser was acting different this morning. She even suggested waiting! SHE KNEW SOMETHING!

"BRUISER!" Mathew screams, his voice a mixture of anguish and rage. "WHAT! DO! YOU! KNOW!?"

After a second, he composes himself. Well, partially at least, considering the circumstances.

Surely this was an act of another competitor, trying to throw him off his game. There was no other explanation. Planes rarely malfunction.

First things first. Gotta get his eyes out. Definitely first. And then, it's time to do what he does best. What's known about this? He has to know.

"Bruiser. I need you to keep guard. We're being targeted, aren't we?"


Sorry I've been gone for so long. After the slowdown I thought this died........

Only for me to randomly check on this (it popped up as a most visited page on an old laptop of mine I hadn't been on in a while) and long and behold, it's still here!

I'm about to e-mail you the sheet for Mathew Swift, will be posting IC soon.

Again, sorry for not posting for so long.

Do you need bruiser's sheet too? acecipherzero had e-mailed it to me.

Expect the e-mail to be from: another_crockett@hotmail.com


Sorry still haven't been able to send you the info. Currently the only record of my sheet is on gitp, and its down currently. The computer with the info went down....


I'll pm it to you tomorrow!


2nd book of the Night Angel trilogy......................

WE HAVE A BRENT WEEKS FAN!!!! ALL SHALL REJOICE!!!

Ahem.

Have you by chance read any of his lightbringer series of books (specifically the new book, the Blinding Knife)? If so how was it?

Edit: Btw, Ace, did you get my PM? I know you've been busy with that IRL disease, just wanted to make sure you got it ;)


PM sent, with details about what he would look into and do on Day 1.

Of course, this depends on [Ability X], and what info he is able to gain from it.


I've been busy too. I was trying to get in as much time as I could with my wife last week, since I just flew across the county for my job Sunday, and will be gone for 3 weeks.

Hopefully will get a post in tonight.


Day 1 Schedule:

Shall be PM'ed tonight or tomorrow morning. Expect it to be a setup/prep day.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

My character would of gone to bed early, around 9. He would of woken up at 6 and started preparations. I'll send a PM on how he'd start his day (depending on a few factors) later today.

I think the big question here is....... Will Bruiser wake up before me and cause a huge ruckus waking us all up?

OK after seeing Archabald's perception check I'm realizing there may be some potential problems with character sheets my email is nlrosenthal@gmail.com please share your character sheets with me ether as google docs or email them to me (I can't see them if you just PM them to me). All skills are supposed to be capped at 20 for normal characters and this only changes for specific circumstances that are limited. If you have any skill above 20 leave it as is for now, and PM me any back ground story reasoning you have for it. I will then tell you how to adjust your sheets based on what you tell me. For example, if your character is a homonculus you are allowed additional magic stats. some characters may be allowed additional cunning, etc. but with no information or back story a perception of 30 makes no sense, and I am skeptical as to allowing it.

sorry for the inconvenience, but as game system writer I'm just concerned =P

start wrapping up your day 0 activities because $#!+ is about to go down
=D

I'll try to e-mail them tonight /tomorrow morning at the latest.


If you're gonna be pulling leeroy well........... at least I have chicken


Just realized I skipped number 5. He prefers coffee with sugar, although sometimes he'll drink it black if he needs an extra burst of energy from the bitter taste.

And I'm thinking along the same lines as Regalus.


Matthew wakes up after about an hour. He was having troubles staying asleep, so instead he quitely gets up and starts making preparations. He first uses [Ability], followed by packing useful items should he have to leave immediately.

He hopes to find something, anything soon.

5 mandatory random character questions to hide the one important one:

1) does your character favor large or small breakfasts?
2) where does your character get their water from: Tap, bottle, or filter pitcher?
3) who does your character ship shirou with: Rin, Sakura, Illya or Saber? (you may PM this answer, along with all the others).
4) when is your characters birthday?
5) how does your character prefer their coffee/tea: black, or with milk, or maybe sugar?
6) Do you know why I'm having you do this exercise?

1. Lite breakfasts. Got be quick and get moving!

2. He's not too picky. Just from whatever is usually available (usually bottle)
3. He'd probably just take the first available person to ship with him.
4. June 22
5. Because you can? :P


Matthew has quite a bit of trouble sleeping at first. He's thinking about the war, the challenges ahead of them, and his servant. He hadn't expected such a lively one, but in truth, he was glad. He knew it'd push him to do his best. He had to.

Sleep finally found him, and so he rested, dreaming about some new spell that had just come to him. If only he could actually remember his dreams, it'd actually be useful.


Matthew just smirks. Truely, he had summoned a great servant. But how strong would the servants be who they faced? That would be something he'd have to ponder about.

Deciding it's best to see what it going on, he........

OOC: PM yet again :P


Matthew just grins.

"To my marriage! I'll wake you later if I find anything. I did forget to ask though, is there anything you need to or want to know about the area? Or anything I should know about you?"

Pm'ed remaining details.


It felt good to be home. Getting to see his wife, and to relax for a second sounded wonderful to him. However, he should of known better. He really should of.

As soon as [Servants name] finishes, he just sighs.

"[servants name], that was my wife, not a servant. I'd prefer it if we didn't treat her as a servant."

"Anyways, here, lets head this way." He says, leading her to one of the back rooms of the apartment.

OOC: Rest is revealed in a PM.


Matthew just grins at the last part. He wasn't going to try and correct her about the generals part, instead just enjoying the drive as the head back to the town. The wind in his face, and the last rays of the sun, it was an all too perfect day for a drive. Still, he guides her back to his place.

"I think you'll enjoy the place. It has a very nice view of the city."


Even Matthew enjoyed it for a little bit. The ride, the speed, it was everything he enjoyed about the car. But everything must come to an end at some point.

"[SERVANT NAME], I know you're really enjoying yourself, but perhaps we should get back to our place? So we can start planning out our conquest of this war?" He asks. He figures it was her goal to dominate the enemies and claim the land, so perhaps this would get her to go to their place.


At first Matthew is surprised. But then he realizes what might happen if Bruiser drives his car. She may have an idea of how to drive it, but if she....... she...... Wrecks my car, then.....

Well, may the heavens have mercy on her.

Matthew takes a deep breath before saying anything.

"Bruiser, did you forget you don't know the way? And that you'll stand out? Not that I don't enjoy how spirited you are, but many people in this day of age are not as energetic or spirited as you are, meaning you'd stand out quite easily. I'll drive for now, and show you around the city for a bit after we have had a chance to prepare for this war. Afterwards you can drive if you show me that I can trust you driving; as it is right now I know next to nothing about you and your abilities, let alone your driving abilities. Ok?" He says, and then with a very quick motion turns off the car and takes the keys. He has a grin on his face, like all the other times, only this time, it's very easy to tell it's forced.

"For now, I WILL drive and take us back to my place. You are excited to see this place aren't you? It has quite the view." He asks, hoping this would tempt her more than driving HIS car.


I'll PM you a description of each place tomorrow morning!


"Well, we don't have palanquins in these times. However, I do think I possess something you will greatly appreciate. I just ask that you be careful in it, it was quite expensive......." He says, with a grin on his face. No matter how many times he drove it, he still loved his vehicle! The wind hitting his face, the gentle warmth of the sun as he drove down the highway......

Anyway, he turns around towards the door and opens it. Instead of heading straight down, however, he holds the door and gestures at his servant. "However, I must insist ladies first."

As they walk down, he leads her to his car, the finest one he possessed. Sure, he had another almost the same, but nothing could match this fine beauty. He proceeds to open the door for Bruiser and gestures for her to sit in it.

"We will be traveling in this beauty! I just ask that you please wear your seat belt, as I don't feel like dealing with the police." He says, a wide grin on his face. Perhaps she'll enjoy it more than his wife. She never had the passion for vehicles he had, even though both of them loved technology!


"You won't let me down, will you?" He says, and proceeds to smack his hand to his face is frustration. Although if he was an onlooker, he can't say he wouldn't be rolling on the floor laughing right about now at his own situation.

"Anyway, its in that direction" he says as he points in a direction. "Its not a fortress, since we can't stand out too much, and I already stand out anyway. A lot of people unfortunately know my name. Do you mind travelling in spirit form, at least until we get there? I don't want others seeing your form quite yet? It'd be nice if we can catch at least a few people off guard. "


I'll PM you the rough locations for now. Once you have the better map up, I'll select a specific area.


OOC: Ok, that just made me laugh :D

"................... Can you put me down? We already have a base with provisions and men guarding it." He asks kindly. His face stuck an odd balance between amusement and anger. Something I'll have to get use to, he thinks to himself.


Matthew grins at this. He had gotten a live one for his servant.

"Well, mainly to learn more about magic! Yeah, bringing honor to my family is another reason, but not my main one. I just want to know everything there is for the magics I specialize in, and surpass all in those fields!"
He answers with a grin.

"Well, I've finished erasing the seal. Ready to go? My place isn't too far from here, although we have a lot of preparing to do." He says with a sigh. He was not looking forward to tonight, probably would have to take an all-nigher to finish his preparations!

(OOC: Sorry for the PM, I don't know why the edit didn't go through.)

As the sun finishes setting, a whirlwing od dirt envolps your circle, foring you to close your eyes for a second. When the winds abate and you open them, a woman in red stands in front of you.

"Servant Bruiser, Summoning COMPLETRE! I ask of you, Are you my Master?!?!?!" She says, taking a bold, enthusiastic pose.

OOC: Sorry for the late reply, I have to go to bed early since I have to wake up early.

Matthew is surprised by this! Surely he didn't expect to have such a bold character as a servant. Sure, it wasn't the class he was hoping for, but after thinking about it he realizes this could be for the better! This class would surely be useful, especially with his abilities!

But he quickly recovers. "Yes, I am. My name is Matthew Swift. As soon as week clean up these marks we'll get going! We have a lot of things to accomplish ahead of us. And if there's anything you need, just let me know, I'm sure we could get it." He says, making a quick but warm smile at his servant before starting to splash water over the marks. He was thankful that it hadn't rained that day, he would of had to gone elsewhere for the ritual!

"So tell me, what do you hope to get out of this war?"

ah, please don't post in the thread yet. I'll have starting stuff worked out when I get home. Also yes, I am Serial Phantasm.

I'll try to get you all who you summoned soon enough too, just rather hard running everything from my phone, and oh so busy. But I am absolutely LOVING what I am getting. So keep up the good work.

--Ace

Glad to hear you're loving it! I'm really excited to see what you come up with!
