OOC Link: OPEN SIGNUPS - Fate/stay Night - War of the Fourteen Magi - Reboot - Alternate Universe
It is the year 2012. The Date: December 1st. The long and arduous task of gathering servants, and masters alike for a new holy war has already begun but at the request of the mage association the very first fight has yet to truly start. The war zone is a city known as Fuyuki City located in Japan which has held multiple wars there during it's life time. Many heroes from beyond time have appeared from times past, present, and future to serve in this war known simply as the Holy Grail war. Typically there are at the very least several servants at maximum vying for the chance to get their wish granted by the Holy Grail itself. Said to be able to perform most any wish theoretically the grail is greatly treasured by mages.
However only those whom the grail selects as worthy masters are worthy attending. And somehow this year despite the odds fourteen master have been selected...no one knows what it means. Or how have doubles of each servant class would work. Would new classes show up? Would old ones change? Would there be no change just more chaos? The Mage's Association has planned ahead this time to both guarantee a winner after the failure to declare one last war by sending two overseers, one monk in training and a father, to make sure things go smoothly with all the servants. The overseer himself has also decided to step up to the plate and add additional rules to the tournament first however he asked that all willing magi meet him at the Fuyuki City Cathedral built and paid for by a wealthy owner from the association itself and donated as neutral ground for the war.

The time is 6:00, and the cold night air is flowing all around the city with some minor snow falling from the sky. It wasn't anything to worry about but it was pretty, and very cold all the same. The fact that the war hadn't officially kicked off yet meant that either the overseer was really powerful, the servants weren't all in the city yet, or no one really cared to start a fight before all the dice were thrown. Either way things would start very soon. Probably by the end of the night if what Leon Winchester had thought was true. Leon was clothed from head to toe in thick clothing just to make certain he wouldn't catch anything.
He had a wool cap on even and that was something he hated wearing. On his back sat his ever present ally, and friend Archer. Archer was...an anomaly to say the least. He was a young man with eyes full of wonder, and ever ready with quip about the lands they had visited. He looked like, and sometimes acted like, he was ten years but in reality he was older than any member of Leon's whole family. The handsome young devil with red eyes, golden hair, and cultivated with the wealth of some small nations had his head planted firmly on Leon's shoulder. Leon never really had any siblings only people he knew from his parent's workplace, or his newly made friends from his school. He was wearing a light blue coat, a pair of multi-colored tan pants, and a pair of golden ear-muffs. Leon could feel his breathing on the back of his neck. He still hadn't seen what this little guy was fully capable of but he was a heroic spirit of some kind. One of an number of ancient heroes who was said to have been capable of destroying entire city blocks in some cases.
That line of thought made him wonder just how strong this little 'brother' of his exactly. He still was't sure if Archer was who he said he was despite his vast amount of resources at his disposal. Archer had insisted that he wait and show his master what he could do when the time came to do it. He didn't want to risk the chance of exposing is power to some mind reader, or spy. Archer had claimed that many masters would probably be looking for them especially since he was one of the famed knight classes. Archer had little worries otherwise though and had eagerly followed him around wanting to make new friends, and do things with Leon.
"It's a beautiful evening isn't it?" Leon chimed in as they turned a corner. He had been walking for about twenty minutes now and his feet hurt a little. The two of them had been mostly silent nothing to really talk about that they hadn't already talked about before leaving the house. Besides that he really didn't want to get into a long conversation with Archer. They tended to be drawn out, and filled with niceties. "Yeah it really is isn't it? I remember the skies being a lot more lit up back when I was back home. They were a lot more bright back then and they filled the whole sky. I guess advancements in technology now of days has caused the sky to change huh? Well at the very least I get to spend the night with you Big Bro." Archer said with a cat like smile as he chuckled and swung his legs back and forth. Leon chuckled as he nodded at his young servant. ["You're not too far from the truth I suppose. We as a species have evolved a lot and with it came industry. It must've been one hell of a wonder to see the skies unclouded everyday huh? I could probably only imagine that unless I went to some remote place in the world." Leon replied with a casual tone as he looked back at the sky.
"Well I can't really say much on the subject my old home had been reduced to rubble long ago before your family's great ancestors probably existed. It doesn't matter now for now we're going to need to stay focused on the task at hand Big Bro. We're going to be going to an area brimming with masters, and servants. It'll be cool meeting the other classes in a neutral area but I'm not entirely sure it would be wise if we just introduced ourselves flat out. If I had to give a guess at what was happening and why the priest in charge was sending out a call to everyone it's probably because he has something big planned for all of us that may require the masters to show their faces. If not he'd have called us servants there by ourselves. Don't worry even if things go down no one's as strong as me! Not even that Saber class people hold so high in regard. I mean I could be wrong but I like to think otherwise." Archer stated to Leon who nodded. He figured Archer had the right of it at the moment. He couldn't help but wonder what exactly was happening. But he also understood Archer had a knack for knowing things...like how to cheat at card games using his seemingly bizarre talent of knowledge. "Is that something you know because you saw it, or is it just conjecture?" Leon asked of Archer who shrugged. "The future changes all the time big bro all I can do is try to wade through it as best I can. I'm not some caster class seer. I'm still just a little kid after all can't expect me to hold all the answers you know." Archer said with chuckled as Leon grunted he was right but most little kids didn't have the ability to crush car frames with their bare hands.
As Leon came to a stop he saw a man in a black priest's robes, and a cross dangling from his robes in front. He had mittens on, and had long dark brown hair. He didn't appear to be the main overseer. As Leon approached he turned his head, and acknowledged him. "So then our second guest is here? Welcome Master. Servant I would ask that you stay out here. I'm afraid servants aren't welcome on neutral ground at the moment. Too many servants in the middle of the same place could cause a ruckus. Of course fighting is forbidden out here so close as well. But there is much more room for all of you to do what you will out here. I apologize for the inconvenience it is the will of the Overseer." the man said as Leon frowned, and nodded his head then took a look at Archer "Will you be ok out here?" Leon asked of Archer who jumped off his shoulders and giggled. "No problem big bro I'll go see what kind of stuff I can stick more nose in. Maybe I'll find out something cool. Catcha later!" Archer said with a grin as the golden haired young boy turned into a spiritual mist right before Leon's eyes. Leon took one last look at where Archer had just been before nodding entering through the front door after walking down the small pathway leading there from the front gate.
As he entered the cathedral he was immediately welcomed by the warmth that was hoping for. The room was spacious, and had many door ways and entrances to other areas however a small sign indicated where he should go. Leon looked around and felt the need to pull off his extra clothing and stuff the stuff he could into his jacket pockets. He then put all the stuff up hanging from the coat hanger, and then placed his shoes by the entrance as was customary in Japan. He took one last look back at the closed door. He made his way through the door until he came to a large hall with a single teenager in there around his age. He had bright tanish hair, and dark brown eyes. He looked well off as he was wearing a suit, and was well groomed. He'd probably be trouble later. "I was told we're to wait here until more people come. The overseer has left for the moment to procure some things. He'll be right back. Of course the fo-good man has been gone for awhile now." the young man said with a sophisticated tone, and it was clear he was a bit of a snotty jerk. At least by standards of being a prep kid. At least he wasn't being too big of an asshole...yet. Now to just wait for more people.
