#grandservantgala2022

[aecorus]

dear potential reader.

if you have recieved this letter, it means you have been invited to attend the grand servant gala of the year 2022. in contrast to previous years, security has been raised to prevent any unfortunate activities, whether accidental or on purpose, from happening. in addition, rooms and sustenance will be provide to any and all partygoers, so there is no need to worry about where one will stay.

we eagerly await your arrival to avalon, and further questions may be raised to the gala’s host, lady vivian.

Unlike past years, there aren’t any large planned events, though I may sprinkle in some activities here and there to keep the party lively! Some of you may be wondering, what exactly is the Grand Servant Gala? I’ll eagerly answer any questions!

The Grand Servant Gala is an annual event for any and all Fate muses (or those with Fate verses) to participate in! It is a formal gala filled with fun, dancing, and festivities, and it spans for about two weeks to a month. I normally hold it earlier in the month, but I have been busy with job hunting.

Who can participate? Anyone with a Fate verse, regardless if it’s Stay Night, Grand Order, Extra, or others! Come on and enjoy the fun!

When does it start? Right now! Go ahead and dive in with starters, graphics, or whatever you would like to do with it! 

Please like and reblog to spread the word to other Fate muses and Muns! In addition, please tag your Gala interactions with #grandservantgala so I can read all of your lovely posts! <3

It was no secret a Beast had infiltrated the gala. But they were hidden; a mask in plain sight. Self Modification was a hell of a skill, being able to change a Spirit Origin like it was putty. Judgement molded it into a perfect little disguise, but there were eyes on them from the start.

The Beast could feel the inferior one's gaze boring into their back at almost all times. They had to admit, to have such a look was moderately vexing. But no matter, Judgement would take care of them soon.

It was late into the night, where the beautiful midnight sky was lulling many of the partygoers to sleep. Some lingered in the ballroom, but besides those spare few, things were quiet. A perfect time to cause the chaos that Beast desperately craved. Once they were certain they were alone, Beast morphed to their true form: a beautiful angel, hellbent on destruction of all life. They also let their Beastly Spirit Origin shine for just a moment; their minder would be here soon, no doubt.

And right they were. Rounding a corner, the suspect came across the Beast in all their glory. The violet shock of hair made Judgement raise an eyebrow, but a chilling smile remained on their face.

"Lancelot du Lac…" They said with a sonorous voice. Everything about them was beautiful, except for the deep seated black that was their soul. "How amusing. I was just on my way to kill your mother."

Lancelot, like an unhinged dog, snarled and readied a blade. Judgement's smile grew, and they let their Mystic Eyes activate. Where Lancelot was about to launch an all out assault, the Mystic Eyes froze him to the spot.

With a lackadaisical flutter of their many wings, the Beast floated closer. As their proximity increased, the Berserker went into a frenzy. Still, he could not move. Judgement was hovering before him, their malicious eyes glowing in the dark of the hall. They rested their hand on his cheek, and had Lancelot not been paralyzed, he would have tried to bite the angel's hand off.

"Child of man, raised by fae." Judgement began, running a clawed finger along Lancelot's chin. "I know the perfect place for you, man who forsakes humanity."

"The Realm of the Dead is where you belong."

With a flash of movement, Judgement quickly withdrew his hand from Lancelot. A beat of silence, then, Lancelot's head rolled forward, falling pitifully to the ground below. His body quickly followed, gravity pulling it down. The Berserker faded into golden dust.

Not a speck of blood on them, Judgement reverted back to their gala attire, wiping their hand on the front of their clothes. They gracefully stepped over the pool of blood on the floor, before finding a room to retire in for the evening.

     “ THE gala, huh ... ? ” It’s been awhile since he’s attended any Chaldea event it but then again, there was the matter of who he could potentially ask. Well, he would be just as satisfied with watching from the sidelines too. After all, it was always nice to see his servants enjoy themselves ( he certainly would be lying to himself if he said he didn’t have a few candidates in mind ). “ I wonder what I should wear ...”

    ❝ So you have no one to go to this gala with? Pathetic. You deserve no explanation from my end, however i’ll be merciful with you this time. I actually have been invited ❞   Now do not ask him with who he is going-

It seemed like this year at the Gala there was no Magus in sight. Even with the Caster’s terrible clairvoyance, unable to sense him, was he ultimately the one who caused his downfall last year after trying to have some fun. And it already seemed like there was word of a beast roaming the manor’s halls of this year’s Gala. The Pretender hear murmurs about it, about how a death already happened. If he were to do anything now, no matter what the rules were in tact this year, it wouldn’t be any worse than what already happened right?  After all the security here must already have their hands full with tracking down that beast!  Upon the Pretender’s entrance would he be accompanied by thick dark purple smoke, spores that seemed to be from the local Mors; aswell as his usual vermin of moths and insects, and of course, his large, rathe friendly caterpillars. Alright Avalon, ready for round two?

I mean yeah, someone dies every year, but that’s why Ritsu is just here to observe and make sure it doesn’t get too out of hand. Casually sips from the large glass of mead they sequestered. Yeah, yeah, they’ll simply keep it casual until Vivian.... tries to kill somebody or something. Personally, Ritsu isn’t worried for anyone in their vicinity at all— there might be a Beast wandering the halls, but there’s a Beast anchored to Ritsu, too, and they’ve got more faith in their Beast’s capabilities than in the new one’s.

Ah well, they’ll keep playing Obeserver. See if anyone wants to share snacks with them, or compliment their cute dress or something.

The tall man would get quite the viewing spot from the Gala of where would likely be the battle site.  The scent of bloodlust in the air, the calm before the storm of a skirmish.  It provided perfect compliments to his spirits(liquor) he was partaking in.  Even if it wasn’t human vs human warfare, the deity was not too picky on the smaller details, war was war.  The look in the man’s eyes was something bestial, inhuman look of excitement, conflict, war, battle, all these were what this deity enjoyed most.

She’s back up and running! She’s going to be a lot more careful this time, and-

oh.

After some inquiries, Sir Kay arrived at the scene of the murder.  It had been cornered off with the puddle of blood in the middle.  “I’m sure it goes without announcing, Sir Kay, if you wouldn’t mind allowing me to survey the scene without distractions.  Don’t worry, won’t touch anything.  And I’ll relay my input vocally for you guys to here.“  He’d wait till he was given the go to by the fairies on site to grant his request to enter the scene.

When he was given the clear to enter, he would enter the scene.  Giving a sigh.  “What a fine mess this is...“ Kay remarked in a slightly crass low tone, that was his first reaction to the scene in full.  It wasn’t clear what it was, but he was looking for something.  His eyes narrowed as he took in the details.  “Hmm...“  He remarked as he had taken enough of the scene in to find what he was looking for... or in this case what wasn’t at the scene....

“If it had been Saber Lancelot, no matter if he was caught by surprise or not, he would do everything he could to at least leave behind a clue in the event he was slain.  The lack of one would indicate it wasn’t the Saber version, but the Berserker version...”  Kay stated aloud in a calm tone, the act of leaving clues for the other knights was not uncommon among the round table, any clue left would improve the survival of the rest so to find none at all was telling of which version was reportedly killed. 

“...in both cases, one would expect see any sign resistance but there is none here.  No assassin class would be able to pull that type act, even if they had presence concealment EX, that alone wouldn’t be able to prevent an retaliation or act of resistance.  This is outside my field of expertise so I can only offer a general conjecture a guess... it would have to be a type of binding curse or something, and a strong one at that.“  Kay concluded as he was relaying his input to the rest of the staff, he wasn’t sure how much it would help but it would at least be better than nothing at all.

The title of Grand Saber was nothing but that, a title, until tonight.

She walked the hallways, before coming across a mysterious, blonde person of great beauty. They said they were a new Servant of the Chaldean Master’s, but after the death of her son and the attempted murder of another Master, the faerie queen was skeptical. They turned to her with a smile on their face, one that didn’t betray any emotion. 

On the surface, this Servant seemed normal. A Rider class, with a decent amount of power, though not as much as some of the stronger Chaldean Servants. They seemed content, sipping languidly at a glass of wine and mingling with other guests. That is, until they spotted Vivian.

“Ah, Lady Vivian.” They greeted, their pale blue eyes shining with life. “It is nice to see you about. I heard about what happened to your son, my deepest condolences.”

Vivian said nothing, letting her sword appear in her hand. The guest speaking and the ones they were talking to looked alarmed, and they attempted to back away after seeing the expression on the faerie queen’s face. She didn’t give them the chance to escape.

She ran them through with her blade, splattering blood all over the floor and her elegant dress. A look of shock was on their face as their head slumped down, looking at their chest. Vivian had stabbed the blonde directly through the heart. There was nothing but silence, until a shrill laugh pierced the air.

“So, you’ve figured me out? How astute of you. Or perhaps it was a little insect I should have squashed?”

Vivian withdrew her blade quickly, before going back in for another stab. The blonde simply smiled with blood dripping from their lips, narrowly avoiding the blow. 

The blonde’s clothes melted into robes, and beautiful white wings erupted from their back. Their laughter echoed through the ballroom, before flapping their wings. Wind in the room kicked up as they gained distance from the angry Saber. 

“I am Beast. Judgement, if you wish to know my true name. I seek the end of all life.” Their smile was haunting, their once blue eyes shifted to a sickening red. Everything about this screamed danger, but Vivian was still ready to fight. “I must say, your reactions to what I’ve done were amusing. But I believe it is time to end this farce.”

“In three days time, Chaldea will be annihilated, Avalon with it. There is no escaping my sight, for my eyes miss nothing. I suggest you live as much as you can before I kill you all.”

A flash of light, and they were gone. Leaving behind a single, white feather that fluttered to the floor.

“The time is almost upon us... I do hope you all will entertain me.”

The Beast has shown themselves, in all their glory. They seem to be waiting for someone to make the first strike.
