Fate's Mirror: Fortune and Favour
This is an interactive fan fiction. The characters of the Nasuverse (along with fan characters, OCs, genderswaps etcetera) are all trapped in a large facility, complete with all the amenities needed for normal living.
Their time in the facility is divided into two categories, daily life and deadly life. In the former characters carry on in a slice-of-life manner, socializing and the like. In the latter characters fight for their lives (unlike situations like dangan ronpa however it is not against each other). The survival and relationships of the characters depend on you, the voters.
However, in addition to the usual voting process, each voter chooses characters to support. In helping Shirou succeed, the chosen characters get points, with enough points you can improve their relationship with other characters, and encourage romance and the like.
The relationships assist survival in deadly life as bonuses to the character's abilities and in recovery in the case they fail. Should they fail too many times they will be confronted by Satsujinki and given one final chance to escape death, should they fail this then they die permanently.
The objective is for the characters to survive until they can escape the facility.
The mechanics
Alongside their first vote, each player submits a list of six female characters that they wish to support. Note that, once submitted, this can not be changed, so choose carefully.
Choosing the correct option in a vote gets you a point for each character you support. For every ten points a given character obtains, that character's supporters get to choose an event, action or special scene (lemon, comedic, action etcetera) involving them.
Additionally to this, a character's points are also used to develop relationships between them and other characters (both male and female). These relationships give them a bonus to their survival rolls in the deadly life chapters. There are seven relationship levels for each pairing, and for every ten points assigned to the pairing by a character's supporters, the relationship level advances by one (for female/female pairings, the relationship level can be increased by either character's supporters and is shared between the characters, but the ten points needed to increase the level must all come from the supporters of one character).
The relationship levels are as follows:
1. Acquaintance.
2. Friend.
3. Buddy.
4. Best Friend.
5. More than friends.
6. Interested.
7. Romantically Involved.
On reaching the final level, a vote will be held amongst the character's supporters to see if they should pursue a romantic relationship with the character in question (subject to sexuality, compabitility with any existing relationships they may have and, in the case of a female partner, acceptance by the partner's supporters). If the supporters vote against, then no relationship is formed, but the relationship level and associated bonus is still increased.
The story is split into acts. In each act, there are a minimum of three chapters for daily life, and anything from one to six for deadly life. For the deadly life sections, six female characters are chosen from the 30 available using a table and a six-sided dice, and they, together with the male characters, have to fight for their survival.
To survive, the character has to score a roll of 15 or higher (after relationship bonuses) on a 20-sided dice. Male characters have to survive one such roll per act, whilst the chosen female characters must survive three. Each character has ten hit points, and every roll they fail causes them to take damage.
Finally, every character has a synergy with certain others, based on their personal preferences and those of the other character. If these characters are together in deadly life then they get an additional bonus (depending on their relationship level), helping them to survive peril.

Prologue
"Well, what are you waiting for kid? Use that healing power to wake him up", a familiar voice says, stirring me from sleep.
"Avalon isn't an alarm clock old man. Nothing is wrong with Shirou, we just have to wait", a voice replies, clearly irritated. Even without seeing the two I figure the "old man" must have said it to intentionally piss off the younger man.
Pushing past the odd desire I have to sleep, I force my eyes open and look around, noting that I appear to be in a classroom.
Archer is there, staring at me with irritated relief. He is talking to another man, a blonde, green-eyed man dressed in a pair of black jeans, white sneakers and a black tee shirt sporting a logo consisting of a silver S inside some kind of shield. I feel I've seen the logo before, but I can't place it with my head feeling so heavy.
Archer pulls me up. Normally I would fight him, or at least make a remark or such, but I'm still woozy.
The two take me to a room, where a bunch of people are gathered with Rin and another black haired girl in front of a white board. Looks like a meeting, I guess.
Who should we view the meeting with?
1) Shirou
2) Archer
3) Satoshi
-
they die permanently.
I'm sure of whose death the public will approve, hue.
-
It's Tamamo, lantz, not Tamano.
-
Well, is there actually a proper Romanisation of it? It's not always entirely clear.
Anyway, I'm interested in this. Since we have 6 characters to choose to support and I can only manage to think of 5 females I particularly care about even if I stretch it, does anyone want to exchange support, so I support their favourite in return for them supporting Sakura?

-
Apparently BL is now the 'archive' of this thread.
I suspect the thread will get locked the moment Sakura or Satoshi are endangered.
-
If Lantz didn't want Satoshi endangered then he wouldn't have designed the mechanics to allow it to happen. As for Sakura, I'm not going to lock someone's thread because the game mechanics take it in a direction I don't like. At most I would just stop getting involved.
-
X, Lyco, if you are here to complain and not to join in the process, then I ask that you please leave.
-
I will just vote, like at an anonquest.
-
Fine, I'll bite.
3) Satoshi
-
2) EDGEMIYA
-
2) The Latino Spirit EMIYA
-
By the way, you guys are aware that you are meant to pick the characters you're supporting at the beginning, right? Supporting characters is an important part of the concept, and helps prevent them dying.
-
I support every character but Satoshi, who I hope dies of herpes.
-
Here we go again.
-
Arch, cut it out now.
Alice isn't here, so I'm going to have to deal with this, and I will not have you bringing your crap over here just because you got shut down on BL.
-
Even if it is my honest to god statement and the death for him I'll vote for?
-
Firstly, we don't vote to kill characters, and it is not possible to support every character but Toshi, and secondly it was clearly intended to rile Lantz up.
Just because you got shut down on BL that doesn't mean you can bring your crap over here. You're clearly not here to get seriously involved in the game, so just get the hell out and leave those of us who are to play. And, no, I don't want more arguments or bullshit replies like that one, at least not in this thread. If you do then I will take action.

similarly, Leo, you haven't given your vote, if you guys could correct these issues that would be appreciated.

oh shirou or something i don't care
-
Ayako, Sion, Caren, Kohaku, Tamamo, Satsuki.
-
I'll support Lancer, since he's a good ally and a bro. He's definitely experienced in many ways and could act like a big brother to Shirou.
As for the ladies, I'd go for Rin, Kohaku, Saber, Bazett, Caren and Hisui.
Rin, Saber and Bazett could work well with Lancer as well, and potential for romance with him could be a possibility. Maybe.
-
Wait, is the vote for a death or to support with Shirou?
-
Firstly, we don't vote to kill characters, and it is not possible to support every character but Toshi, and secondly it was clearly intended to rile Lantz up.
Fairly certain me and Magos are entirely serious in our endeavor to kill Lantz's aids-baby. We're not trying to insult lantz (at least not directly), we're just trying to abort his baby. Or at least try until he has you lock the thread and therefor not have to write it.
Ayako Sion Caren Tamam o Nero Rin
-
Due to recent events I'll have to ask Brah and Arch to leave the thread, please go without a fuss.
-
You cant tell me what to do, that's deeply insulting and is a blatant offense on my person. I have done nothing wrong.
Sorry, I'm just trying to behave like you, it's fun because it requires no thinking.
-
Tamamo (nevah forget), Akiha, Ciel, Rin, Sion
-

Sorry, I'm just trying to behave like you, it's fun because it requires no thinking.
Brah, you are clearly being an asshole, just leave or I will make you leave.

Mike why are you trying to cover this hard for lantz, I am genuinely curious as to why. First you unban him from a 2 weeks vacation after he pretends like rape is a non-issue and then gets buttmad when people tell him otherwise, and now this?
It's laughable how much favoritism you show towards lantz, who on any saner forum would be booted in a matter of days with the attitude he has.
-
Brah, I told you to leave.
This is a warning. Get the hell out of the thread right now. If you want to argue with me, then go argue somewhere else. This is not the thread for having admin arguments.
-
OK, come on, come on, let's calm it down in here. If the subject is not dropped now, I will issue a warning. Is that understood?
Also, if Mike says for a conversation to stop while the rest of the staff is gone, please drop it. I don't want to have to clean up an additional mess when I get back.
-
*reads argument*
Hey, I have an idea. How about we vote to follow Satoshi's endeavors in this story, so lantz can prove to us that Satoshi can be a likable, humane, and even complex and well-written character the way he envisions him?
That seems fair, does it not? It's the best way lantz can counter-attack the accusations on his writing and his OC after all.
-
My vote for Lancer still counts right? I'm just here for a chance of seeing a Lancer appearance be serious (again) in fan fiction.
It is up to Lantz however, so its his decision.

I'm sorry but if your title is Moon Cancer I'm always in doubt over whether you're real staff or Zouken mistaking silicon for silicone when planning Sakura's future breast size.
-
Can we at least let Lantz write something before we go to war with him? I'd like to see what he'd write at least.
-

Lancer isn't an option for this vote, and only female characters can be directly supported, but you can support Lancer by pairing him with the girls you've chosen (which gives him a bonus to his survival), and he certainly will be involved in the fic in general.
-
I picked my waifus so I can have casus belli if he writes them OOC.
-
I'm sorry but if your title is Moon Cancer I'm always in doubt over whether you're real staff or Zouken mistaking silicon for silicone when planning Sakura's future breast size.
It's a CCC thing (specifically, BB's class). :V I might need to change that title though, due to unfortunate implications.
-
Keep it for Lantz, it fits.
-
Come on now, be nice. :P
On a more serious note though, try to behave in here, and that goes for absolutely everyone. I'd prefer to minimize the amount of drama I have to put a halt to if possible.
-
I promise that if my favs get mistreated, I'll respond in civil way, the way Umbra-san does. :)
-
You flatter me X. I just might blush.
-
Hush.
-
Oh well. I'll stick to those ones for support I guess. Some like Bazett and Rin could work well with Lancer.
-
X, please leave, given your reason for participation is admittedly to justify attacking me I feel your presence would only hinder the goal of the project.
Arch's nasty comment aside, I do think that changing that title would be best. I called it months ago Mike.
And thanks YOLF but you need not follow him all the time, the story is after all, for fun. So remember to have that first and foremost.
-
I made a mistake earlier with my vote. I say view the meeting with Shirou.
As for the story, don't mind them too much and keep up the story. People will have more to say when chapter 2 comes, but until then there isn't much to discuss about other than the voting.
-
X, please leave, given your reason for participation is admittedly to justify attacking me I feel your presence would only hinder the goal of the project.
At this rate the number of voters will rapidly decrease.
-
Just try to stay polite X. You amuse me, and I would hate to see you go. Do it for me?
-
Sadly Umbra, X said previously that he picked those characters just to have a justification for acts of war against me. It's not welcome period.
-
So you're admitting you won't play any of them as in character?
-
I didn' know I am a country.
-
Lantz X only said she'd get civilly pissy if you wrote them OOC as fuck as everyone keeps saying you do.
You're telling her to leave when this is literally your chance to prove you don't write characters OOC to someone giving you a chance.
Just take her votes and presence and move on.
-
Firstly that's Katsura, not a woman Names. Secondly, it doesn't matter, hostility as motivation pollutes the point of the work. Regardless of whether or not X can vote I'll write the characters my way, the key difference is that X has taken the threatening stance against me personally which threatens the work as a whole when they can ruin it because they don't like the way I see things.
-
Look, X, Arch, drop the crap. If you genuinely want to participate then fine, but if you're here just to find an excuse to attack Lantz then I assure you I will not just ignore it. This is not a damn Lantz-bashing thread, and just because you got told to stop on BL that does not mean we want you bringing the crap over here instead.
-
OK. Right now I'm not really interested in nor have the patience for another drama-bomb exploding in this thread.
Arch, MHX; you hate lantz and/or his OCs, we got it the first time. Now please leave the thread before I have to start handing warnings here.
-
Okay, leaving it to die a natural death could be better option.
Firstly that's Katsura, not a woman
1) Katsura is unisex name
2) I crossdress.
-
Lets just wait for Lantz to write something first. At this rate, he'll never write anything for his fic if we could waiting for failure.
Arch and X, you guys gotta wait a bit before saying anything. At least let Lantz finish writing his second chapter before assuming anything. If you guys don't like it, you don't have to follow the fic. Give him a chance.
-
Actually, Lantz is mostly waiting for me to vote at this point, I think. And, there are a few other things he's written but is waiting on me for, too.
-
I'll wait. I'm just hoping the fic will turn out well.
I pray for his success, as I usually do for most starting fics.
Except Fate's Gamble, because fuck that shit. I can't even recognize Harry Potter anymore what the hell?
-
OK, well, here goes. I vote for 1) Shirou. For my supported characters, I choose:
Sakura
Rider
Rin (Extra)
Rin
Emilya
Fem Shirou
-
I'm not voting, because I don't believe in democracy.
-
Because you believe that only your god king can make the decisions?
-
Yes, only my god-king can make true decisions.
For he is Mecha-Christ, archenemy to Kaiju Hitler.
-
Apparently, Beast Lair has this thread as well.
Wonder what will happen now.....
-
The thread is on BL, but the voting is being done here only. BL just gets the results.
-
Vote closed, due to Ram's non committal answer before the winner of the vote is Satoshi thanks to a tie breaker roll.
-
WHAT?!!?! SATOSHI WON?!?! I BARELY SAW PEOPLE VOTE FOR HIM?!!?
Darn, I was hoping Shirou would be the winner. :(
Oh well, I'll still get to see how Satoshi is like. Go for your fic Lantz.
-
My god-king has informed me he wishes to vote for Archer, the tie-in.
Would you deny Mecha-Jesus his vote, Lantz?
-
But spessmareen Names, if you don't believe in democracy, why not just have your god-king decree that this decision is already done by him? After all, why tell Lantz that mecha-Jesus must vote when Mecha-Jesus does?
-
Mecha-Jesus doesn't have internet. Because there is no internet in space.
-
My god-king has informed me he wishes to vote for Archer, the tie-in.
Would you deny Mecha-Jesus his vote, Lantz?
Given that Lantz has already written and sent me the next part, I'm going to guess that he's probably not accepting any more votes for this choice....
-
This democracy is a lie
I double disbelieve in it now
-
That's paradoxical Names and you know it.
IF HE'S A GOD, THEN THE INTERNET IS NOTHING TO HIM. SPESS MEANS NUTHIN' TO MECHA JESUS. MAY THE WILL OF MECHA JESUS OCCUR WHEN IT HAPPENS, FOR HIS WILL IS UNSTOPPABLE AND UNKNOWING. NO MAN OR BEAST CAN TRULY SEE THE MACHINATIONS OF OUR STEEL LORD.
-
NO MAN CAN SEE HIS MACHINATIONS, THUS HE NEEDS A VOICE UPON THIS REALM TO MAKE HIS INDOMITABLE WILL KNOWN.
I AM THIS VOICE, AND THROUGH THIS I AM HIS WILL MADE MANIFEST.
-
YOU SPEAK LOUD WORDS, YET I SEE NO PROOF OF HIS WILL THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS. PROVE IT TO ME SPESSMAREEN, FOR I SHALL CONTINUE IN MY DISBELIEF UNTIL YOU DO.
ALSO, yeah ok.
-
IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR YOU TO NOT BELIEVE IN HIM, FOR HE STILL BELIEVES IN YOU AND LOVES YOU. FOR HE IS MECHA-JESUS.
Also, if the next chapter was done in such super sanic speeds, where is it?
-
He's just doing votes at the moment. I think he needs to write the thing.
-
He's just doing votes at the moment. I think he needs to write the thing.
Well,
Given that Lantz has already written and sent me the next part
this.
-
Also, if the next chapter was done in such super sanic speeds, where is it?
In my inbox waiting for me to beta-read it.
-
Also, if the next chapter was done in such super sanic speeds, where is it?
In my inbox waiting for me to beta-read it.
ah.
-
That feeling when you know the next chapter is done and getting betaed but you don't want to wait even though it's SO CLOSE
-
I only feel anxiety and fear on what is to come. If its good, I'll relax then.
-

Arch, what did I tell you? I already asked you to leave, but, apparently, you didn't get the message. This is a warning, so please leave the thread now.
-
I only feel anxiety and fear on what is to come. If its good, I'll relax then.
Ahahahaha fat chance.
It's called benefit of doubt. I shall hold off any disbelief that it will be bad so that he may have a chance.....
-
Choice three: Satoshi.
Before Rin can ask what else we found apart from Shirou, it happens. Most of the girls are swallowed, instantly, into black holes.
Still remaining are Arcuied, Sion (alchemic genius), the ever-lovely Medusa, Elesia, Kohaku (the only mad scientist who looks good in an apron), Satsuki, the most adorable vampire school girl I've ever met (also the only one I've ever met), my beloved caretaker and friend Leysritt, Dust of Osiris (Sion's unstoppable future badass), Kohaku's sister Hisui, Mecha hisui (Kohaku's creation and, in some worlds, fully operational LMD for her sister), the millionaire aristocrat demon Akiha (also sometimes a giant) and, finally, Sakura Matou, a fairly nice, ordinary girl (when not jacked-up on super-evil, that is).
The stunned looks on the faces of everyone else reminds me just how fucked-up I must be if sudden kidnapping by the big bad doesn't phase me.
Well, I ought to nominate a leader. In group situations like this I'm best at being the mid level guy, plus that way people don't ask a lot of questions about me. With so many of the girls disappearing, there's no doubt that one of the guys needs to be the leader.
Unfortunately, analysis of the five other guys or, at least, their basic, personalities, leaves me with few options. Shinji and Gil have egos that could crush a country and continent respectively, so they're out. Lancer is too much of a battle maniac and Shirou would just piss the others off, so they're out too. So, that leaves Archer, I guess. Shirou won't like it, but it's the best option.
What should I do?
1) Nominate Archer
2) Stay silent
3) Go greet the other people present.
-
4)Nominate dual leadership by Shinji and Gilgamesh
I MAKE MY OWN OPTIONS

Seconded. This is obviously the best option. Gilgamesh was king after all.
-
ARCH WAHT TRE IJG G:SL:V GEt out
ORDErS ARE ABSOLTUE
Something something that "don't post in Lantz's thread" means "don't post in Lantz's thread", not "it's OK if you post as long as you're not being obviously inflamatory"
ilu
But like seriously though, don't post in here. Admin say-so.
-
Seconded. This is obviously the best option. Gilgamesh was king after all.
Hey Archie. I believe you've already been asked to leave multiple times by the mods for.... various reasons. You are not making things easier on yourself by continuing to answer in this thread, so I do suggest you refrain from any further posts in here unless lantz says otherwise (You can discuss things in private with him for this matter if you wish).
M'kay? Do as I'm asking, it's better for everyone.
Also, yes, what Names said had some merit too.
-
wait a what
why are the majority of actual posters mods
-
We're a hive mind.
-

It isn't actually approved by the admins. After reaching a certain amount of posts you evolve into a moderator.
-
wait a what
why are the majority of actual posters mods
Well, the problem is that having a small forum doesn't change the fact that people have different sleep patterns, or that mods can be inactive sometimes. So, even if there are only 10 people on the forum, you still need 5 mods and admins just to ensure that at least one is around at all times....
-
I like my explanation more.
-
you don't actually need a mod around at all times, it's a small forum
-
Normally we wouldn't. The answers though, may well lie within this very thread...
Or it could be like Umbra said and certain posters evolve after so many posts. Either way. :V
-
Sadly no badass Mega Evolutions, since those are temporary.
-
Guys, vote plz.
-
Satoshi sounds full of himself. Also, describing the girls doesn't sound like something a normal person would do, especially listing out how great they are. Also, great job nominating yourself as leader because obviously you're the best for making the decisions Satoshi.
I'd go for option 1, Archer's capability of looking at the situation better than most and can keep up with the details, complementing the "heavy" decision making on Satoshi's end. Also, eye of the mind to list out possible scenarios and the best route for not dying.
-
Sadly no badass Mega Evolutions, since those are temporary.
Temporary admin status for the mods?
-
1) Nominate Archer.
-
OK, I'm going to change my vote to:
3) Go greet the other people present.
-
Let's see what chance gives me...
1) Nominate Archer
-
Hmm, if you're going to get involved, then you should nominate 6 of the girls to support (hint, pick Sakura as one :P).
-
We do that? I thought that was only for the first vote. Well, let's see...
Ciel, Akiha, Sakura, Ayako, Tamamo, Emilya
-
why are the majority of actual posters mods
To keep them around with illusionary promises of power and candies.
-
3) Go greet the other people present.
Nominating Archer as a leader without consulting him won't go over well with him, at worst, and neither will it please Gilgamesh, at best. So best to just keep ourselves out of that.
To keep them around with illusionary promises of power and candies.
I, for one, do it for the glowy name.
-
We do that? I thought that was only for the first vote. Well, let's see...
Ciel, Akiha, Sakura, Ayako, Tamamo, Emilya
It's only for your first vote, and you never voted last time.
-
Vote closed, it's a tie for the moment so I'll be back with the tie breaker shortly
-
Choice one: Nominate Archer
Just as I go to open my mouth, a loud chime sounds throughout the room. Should have known the bad guys wouldn't waste time.
"We have taken a considerable number of your group. They will be returned, however there will be a price. And, for those of you unwilling to agree to our conditions, well...", a distorted voice announces, trailing off.
Gilgamesh collapses suddenly, whilst my chest grows cold.
"As you can see, it's not just people, we can take your powers as well. Any violent action against other residents, outside the designated area, will result in restriction of your abilities or even removal. You have been given clothes and rooms on the main floor, the kitchen, dinning hall and common room are there as well. The facility rules are posted in all those areas. Curfew is at ten o'clock, touring the facility at night is prohibited", our jailer says.
After a moment the heat in my chest returns, as do the stolen members. Clearly leadership isn't going to be an issue here, everyone's enemy is clear.
Not sure what to do now, honestly.
1) Take a seat and recover.
2) Check on the returned members of the group.
3) Find the kitchen, can't wage war on an empty stomach.
-
Hmm, let's see....
I think that, whilst 3) is a good idea in principle, the battle over who gets cooking duties is going to be bad enough (we have five versions of Shirou and Sakura here at the moment) without Satoshi getting involved in it, so I don't think that's a good choice. And, whilst Satoshi clearly did have something odd happen to him, there's no indication that he needs to sit down here. So, I'm going to go with 2).
2) Check on the returned members of the group.
-
I nominate 1, since I have no idea where that will lead the story.
-
4)Check on Gilgamesh, you assholes
Collapsing doesn't mean death, go check on him to see if he's alive and if he is move him somewhere more comfortable.
jeez, the "good guys", act like it. Fucking twits.
-
But Names, that would be the rational choice. What would Satoshi do? Well, he might cook or check on his harem.
I chose 1, since I want to see what Lantz would write with that kind of action.
-
I make my own choices though, I can't pick 1 through 3
It is a decision that I have made!!!!!!1
-
4)Check on Gilgamesh, you assholes
This is the best decision so far.
-
I use my first and only vote to parrot Nachos's vote,
4)Check on Gilgamesh, you assholes!
Seriously, I don't care if he's Gilgamesh, he's still your ally. You owe him that much, geez.
-
Lantz would probably ignore that since its not what he would want. It may be a rational choice, but its not what Satoshi would do.
If it were Sakura, then maybe Satoshi would give her CPR, to Cherry's approval.

Yeah, I assume there is a reason that option is not in the list. Either Gil is obviously OK and doesn't need help, or else Toshi doesn't want to help him. Even if it's the smartest choice, if it's not in-character then it's not an option.
-
Lantz would probably ignore that since its not what he would want. It may be a rational choice, but its not what Satoshi would do.
If it were Sakura, then maybe Satoshi would give her CPR, to Cherry's approval.
Give Gil CPR. The look of utter disgust he'd have would make it worth it.
-
Once Gil realized where he is and with whom, he started faking death for his own good.
-
Kat, did you forget...
OK. Right now I'm not really interested in nor have the patience for another drama-bomb exploding in this thread.
Arch, MHX; you hate lantz and/or his OCs, we got it the first time. Now please leave the thread before I have to start handing warnings here.
This^
Yeah. Please leave.
-
For what?
-
I never said that order had a time limit. Hence, the reason.
-
Because he is clearly not here to contribute, and that last comment was quite obviously an attempt to troll Lantz.
And, no, I don't want this to turn into the "argue about moderation" thread, if you have an issue then take it somewhere else.
-
Don't worry Kat. Gil had a heart attack from being too lazy in all the fanfics he appears in and not taking everything seriously.
-
4: check on Gilgamesh.
-
I would check option 4, but I want to see how Lantz would continue the story from just sitting and doing nothing.
It's quite an odd option...
-
Surely Satoshi isn't willing to discard his greatest asset over past grievances?
-
He would if it meant sitting down to recover. Besides, its Gil. Not only does Satoshi not like him, Gil isn't needed if Satoshi is around.
-
Even if Satoshi was somehow stronger than Gil, he's not even close to being as versatile. Gil literally has NPs for every occasion possible.
Edit: Taking chances with something powerful enough to knock out Gil is dumb. You need your greatest assets on hand unless you want to get smacked down.
-
As I said, all for the chance to sit down and recover. Besides, I'm sure Satoshi thinks Gil wouldn't be required.
-
So is choice #4 actually going to count or all the votes for it going to be discarded?
-
It's not for sure, but I'd stick to our guns for now. While I'm told that's not how this game normally works in terms of choices, hopefully with enough of a popular vote it'll go through, especially since it's a reasonable enough request.
-
Checking on Gilgamesh is not an option out of respect guys.
-
What do you mean, "out of respect"?
-
He respects the king of heroes, he knows that checking on him is the same as calling him a pussy.
-
Checking on someone is showing concern. Not showing it isn't a disrespect. In fact, not checking up on him makes Satoshi out as disrespectful.
-
That holds true for most people, not the king
-
How does Satoshi's RM punish the rule breakers? I'm actually pretty curious about this.
-
I don't think that Satoshi is official for this fic. Lantz won't say anything about that Satoshi.
-
So is the one featured in the RP not the Satoshi in this fic? Does he not have an RM?
-
I think it's the same Satoshi, but from further back in the past than the one in the RP.
-
Does he not have an RM?
Or is that an unknown?
-
Don't worry. That just adds mystery to the fic. It will all be revealed in time, as Lantz would say.
-
Nothing has been confirmed as to what Satoshi has as of yet. As for his RM, intangible force strikes the offending party with feedback relative to their offense. It's worth noting that Gilgamesh is one of the characters who can break the rules and remain a viable threat.
-
Well okay, I can sorta accept that reason
5) Go take a dump
As an old man of 2000 years, it is better to control your bowels rather than have them control you. Have Satoshi go to the toilet and squeeze out a stool, and then gently caress that old man ass with toilet paper.
So like 3) but with a goal in mind
EDIT: I work with seniors and I am entirely serious
-
I vote for 5. It is a very important process to undergo.
-
He can do all that dumping by sitting down.
And recovering.
-
On a toilet seat
-
OK, guys, just stop it, this is utterly stupid. There are three options presented, you pick one of them. It's pretty fucking simple.
The Gil thing I could understand, because you had a valid reason to think that, but this is just purile.
-
We've just been put into a forced SoL situation by a Gil-Dick-Punching god thing. The only way to go ahead is to go crazy or go home.
Thus, we go crazy. Lantz's given choices are tame, so we must take matters into our own hands and offer more amusing choices.
Also I've hardly ever seen a writer who remembers the existence of bathrooms and what they're for (apart from semi-public sex) so I wanted to see someone take a dump written. Unnecessarily epic words and prose to make the scene funnier would not be bad either.
AND IT'S sOl ANYWAY SO WHATEVER, IT FITS THE FORCED sOl SCENARIO.
-
I totally am choosing. I chose number 1, which is sitting and recovering.
Names is just making that decision more.... Creative.
Besides, Lantz is the one that actually made that choice, so there. Honestly, I just wanted to see where that kind of choice could go, but Names totally made it awesome. LETS HEAR WHERE THIS DECISION IS GOING, IS SATOSHI GOING TO CHALLENGE THE TOILET GODS OR NOT!??!?!
-
Honestly though these things are all about fun, and SoL CYOA is not fun unless you make it so like number one with phazers. Done right you get a fucking buttload of it, done wrong you get:
X) go to kitchen and obtain food, because nutrition is important. You can eat it on the couch while you rewatch all of RvB for the 13th time this year
WHICH IS WHAT I DO EVERY DAY ANYWAY. Break the mundane, or make the mundane ridiculously over the top and amazing.
If Lantz truly is against people trying to propose different ideas then I'll stop though.
EDIT: Parts of this post are only valid on the 13th of january, because only then will I rewatch RvB for the thirteenth time of that year.
-
Names, please, be serious.
Edit: It's a matter of a slow roll while the general pace is established.
-

OK guys, seriously, start behaving. This is getting ridiculous.
Names, that goes to you too as well; of all people, I don't think I have to tell you to behave properly. So please, either vote the options lantz posted, or just leave the thread, OK?
-
Dropped.
-
Has Lantz actually decided what to do for his fic yet? I am serious about sitting down and recovering.
-
I'm not against pitching stuff to do but it won't change the current vote. It may come up as the next choice or such. But also, Names, utterly silly suggestions like the one to do number two aren't really valid. The work isn't entirely seriously but it's not crack either.
Shinji's route was similar, basic choices leading to more fun ones by way of discussion and conversation.
-
Satoshi is 2000
Have you ever been around a senior having bowel movements?
Because I have, seriously.
Also people seriously need to go to the bathroom sometimes, seriously. To take pisses, and drop shits. Seriously.
But like I said I dropped it whatever.
3) Go to kitchen, obtain food
If there are RvB DVDs in the living room, you know what to do
-
Did I say he was 2000 here? I don't recall indicating physically or other his age.
-
He's Satoshi, unless otherwise stated he is his complete self.
Which is the position I take on all of the characters, might I add.
There has been nothing saying he is not 2000, and there has been mention of him not giving a fuck because of experience or something, so it was likelier for him to be his complete self than not.
-
Actually Names, I referring to the fact that Shirou doesn't describe him as an old man in the first part.
-
Because Shirou calls his son an old fart.
-
Young on the outside
Old and constipated on the inside
Don't sweat the details
-
Basically Edward Cullen.
-
Nothing has been confirmed as to what Satoshi has as of yet. As for his RM, intangible force strikes the offending party with feedback relative to their offense.
I'm unsure what you mean by this. If they only break the rules a little bit they only get hit a little bit? Does it constantly attack them?
-

Imagination beams? In the shape of swords maybe? The RM doesn't even give us any idea of what it looks like, just how Satoshi has absolute dominance over whoever he fights against.
-
The first umbra, in example, no violence is declared as a rule, someone say Archer punches Shinji in the face. He would receive the equivalent relative damage, same rule but say Gilgamesh attempts murder outright, the penalty would be enough force to almost kill him (Satoshi doesn't believe in killing so it will never kill a rule breaker)

So what's stopping Satoshi from making the rule "No violence against anyone with dragon blood." Also do the rules still apply to the rule breaker after they have broken them? For example, if someone broke the no violence one already would he still be affected if he attacks again?

So, Magos!
What's this, the third time I've had to tell you to leave the thread?
Leave the thread now. If you post in this thread again, then you'll leave me no choice but to start handing bans.
That goes to anyone else who has been told to leave the thread as well.
-
Does the damage just happen, or is there some special effects that occur? Also, what do you mean by "Satoshi doesn't believe in killing so it will never kill a rule breaker"? If Satoshi sets the rules for no violence and he breaks that rule, shouldn't he be going through that penalty? Or are you saying he won't do that act?
Anyways, it doesn't matter. Satoshi can break his own rules and be fine because of Avalon.
-
It defies his basic nature Umbra, a reality marble will always be slightly unfair due to the basic point of it being a power to help the user. However Satoshi doesn't believe in unfair competition, fighting or otherwise, so his reality doesn't accept such terms. The rules apply until the rm fades, although every time the rm responds it costs mana.
-
He believes in fair competition, yet Satoshi sets up any five rules he wants. If you wanted his RM to make a fair fight, give some actual penalties for his RM.
Besides, it doesn't matter about the RM, since he can never have a fair fight. Avalon makes him invincible, hence he will always have the advantage.
-
I think it fits the concept rather well, actually, because chivalric warfare works the same way. The knights would have said that it was about having a fair fight, but the fight was intrinsically biased towards them because they designed the rules to benefit their style of fighting.
There is simply no such thing as a truly "fair" fight, because fairness in that context depends on who writes the rules.
And, no, penalising Toshi for implementing the rules wouldn't make the fight "fair", because there is no way to make the penalty fit with the benefit he is gaining. What would make it fair is if both sides could make rules, but then it wouldn't be much of a Reality Marble if it didn't benefit the user....
-
Which is why I his RM doesn't make it fair. Saying that he wants a fair fight, but being in control of the rules is the exact opposite of a fair fight.
While allowing the opponent to make their own rules would make it equal, it wouldn't matter because Satoshi has Avalon to make that "equalization" null. Fact is, Satoshi always has the advantage because his opponents will not be able to even hurt him, let alone kill him. In the end, the RM is just a way for Satoshi to gain reality warping powers on top of his reality warping powers, dragon powers and special swords.
-
Qwerty please discontinue , any more votes should happen asap, I'm closing the vote tomorrow.
-
Well, while I'm here, might as well...
I'll take...*random action used to make choice* option (2)
-
Fine. I'll be waiting for your fic then Lantz.
-
Vote closed, winner option two
-
Lolwut.
Wasn't 1 tied with it, same with 3?
-
Kaiza voted #2. Too bad, I wanted to see Satoshi sit down.
And recover.
-
Yeah, my vote is up there.
Arch, I know you're not causing trouble yet, but my order is still standing. Please leave the thread now. You're still on very thin ice; any more problems and I'll have to ramp up the punishment, if you know what I mean...
-
NEXT TIME, ON SATOSHIBALL Z.
SATOSHI CHECKS UP ON HIS HAREM MATES AND BEGINS FORMULATING ON HIS PLANS ON HOW TO MANAGE HIS HAREM LIFE.
SHIROU'S NEED TO BE THE MAIN PROTAGONIST HAS ALSO BEGUN TO THREATEN SATOSHI'S POSITION AS THE ALPHA MALE. WILL SATOSHI DO SOMETHING TO PROVE HIS DOMINANCE OVER WOMEN?
ALREADY, MANY OF THE OTHERS TRAPPED ARE NOW RUSHING FOR THE KITCHEN, POTENTIALLY RUINING SATOSHI'S CHANCES OF SHOWING OFF HIS EXTREME COOKING SKILLS INHERITED OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS OF TRAINING AND BEING SHIROU'S SON.
WILL SATOSHI TRULY BE PREPARED TO HANDLE ALL OF THESE SITUATIONS AFTER LOSING HEAT IN HIS CHEST?
YES BECAUSE SATOSHI IS INVINCIBLE, BUT SEE IT FOR YOURSELF IN SATOSHI BALL Z!!!!
-
Qwerty, you were allowed to stay so as long as you remained civil and didn't try to start anything.

is a no no. Don't push it, or you'll be forced out as well.
-
Fine. I'm not even insulting Lantz or Satoshi there, but I'll stop.
Now we wait for the fic....
-
Actually I would prefer you left Qwerty. I've tolerated the obvious troll remarks and tried to ignore them but this recent one goes too far.
-
OK fine. I went a little too far with that one I guess. I'll stop being a troll to you. However, since you don't want me to say anything else...
Lantz, your fic is too small. I don't think people will mind your fic taking longer if the word count is longer.
Be careful with that large cast, it'll be hard to manage everybody in your fic all at the same time. You've advertised all those characters already, so you gotta find a way to integrate them into your fic.
You gotta give a better description of the place. You don't need to go purple prose or anything, but some description of where your fic takes place helps.
Good luck.
-
Choice two
It hurts to move, but I can't bother with that now. The victims come first.
Luckily, after a few moments it becomes obvious that, while shaken up, the abductees are no worse for wear. I, on the other hand, realize what happened to me. My soul was just yanked on, and now the Dragon's flame has grown quiet. Which is more reason to fade into the background. Defeating Gilgamesh even at my full power would be, at best, difficult. Left with only modern magecraft and typical human strength, not to mention weaponless, honestly I'm pretty sure I'd be screwed. Still, at least Avalon is with me, so, small miracles.
Rin, as usual, decided to take charge of the general assessment of the situation. I've been drifting in and out while Rin has been talking, but from what I can tell the end point of her speech is that we have no way out and that, despite the solid white blandness of the current room, the rest of our prison is built like a manor or mansion, with ornate fancy rooms of all sorts.
Near where we found Shirou I think I remember a library. When I get time, I should check it out, and exchange information with the others. In the mean time, however....
"We need a group leader", I announce.
Rin frowns at my interruption, whilst a clamoring starts among the others. Gilgamesh, as hero kings are prone to do, responds immediately.
"We already have one, although I will forgive your unfocused eyes for not recognizing my greatness, a mongrel like yourself is certainly blinded by fear from the thought of being trapped", he says.
Archer looks towards the gold-clad hero and shrugs. "Even if you were actually the best for the job, King of Heroes, you haven't fostered trust among us, force won't work in here", he says, his statement punctuated by smirking at the red-eyed man.
Gilgamesh pauses for a moment, likely remembering the mysterious collapse that had afflicted him.
"Then what, Mongrels, do you suggest?" he asks.
"It's simple, we need a leader everyone can trust. With Shirou out of it, I suggest Archer", I reply.
The group looks at me, puzzled.
"It's simple, we need someone who can use the information we collect in short order, plus Archer lacks an egoistical streak and ulterior motives as far as I can see", I explain.
The group looks around, clearly considering my point. For a moment I think Sion or Dust will object to the idea, but they just exchange a look I can't explain and then nod.
Shinji looks like he's scheming and Shirou seems to still be light headed. Rin is rather happy with the idea, as expected I suppose. The rest comply, whether honestly supportive or simply because they don't have a better suggestion.
Gilgamesh, of course, is unhappy but doesn't object. He's got an ego, but seeing that most of the people present support my suggestion causes him to relent. Which seems entirely wrong, on every level.
Without a clear clue how to resolve our imprisonment, I'm stuck wondering how to proceed.
1) Start investigating the area solo
2) Go find the dormitory
3) Punch Gilgamesh in the face
-
3.
Because I want to see Gil's reaction.
-
We must collect all of the bad ends.
3) Punch Gilgamesh in the face
Miraculously he didn't feel inclined to attempt to maim or murder Satoshi after some of what he said and implied so far, but I doubt he'll take this one lying down.
-
3)Punch gurugamesh
I have a good feeling about this
-
You know, I have a strange feeling that that is actually the right option. Gil seems to be acting really bizarrely right now.
-
3. Punch Gil.
-
I have a bad feeling this won't work out quite like we're wanting it to, but I also vote
3) Punch Gilgamesh in the face.
-
If you guys intend on actually voting you need to follow the procedure. Namely supporting the girls.
-
If you guys intend on actually voting you need to follow the procedure. Namely supporting the girls.
You should probably have put that request in your post there then Lantz.
(KAIZA Don't get pissed, just saying something)
-
It is mentioned in the original rules, although evidentially either people haven't read them or it's not explicit enough.
Also, Arch, please just keep out. I appreciate that you're not being rude or offensive, but anything involving you and Lantz tends to head that way very rapidly, and if it goes down that path I think that, given how many times you've been warned to keep away, it would be hard to justify anything other than a ban.
As for my vote, despite how silly it seems, I have a feeling that option 3) is actually the right choice here, because I don't think it would be here if the only result was to get Toshi beaten-up by Gil, and Gil is definitely acting bizarrely.
So:
3) Punch Gilgamesh in the face.
-
Fine, fine... Wasn't exactly enforced last time though, nor is it stated explicitly enough for people to notice:
Rin
Bazett
Nero (Saber Extra)
Arc
Kohaku
Ayako

While I'm glad you're being polite there Magos, what ticks me off is that you keep disobeying my order to stay out. OK?
Trust me, it's for the benefit of everyone involved.
-
Actually Alice you only state your supports once, that's likely why you thought it wasn't enforced last choice. However as you are correct that it may be vague I'll say it plainly.
Anyone wishing to vote needs to select six girls to support in order for their votes to count, supports are chosen once, no take backs.
Also the vote is now closed.
-
Ayako
Sella
Leysritt
Bazzet
Sakura
NO ONE ELSE THEY'RE ALL WHORES
Yes seriously I am only using 5/6
If I can use that to minus someone's chances I minus Female Archer
Because why
-
Honestly, Satoshi would be a GREAT villain. Someone gone so far over the deep end that he has turned villain without even realizing. Killing in manic glee, stopping the Counter-Force, fucking relatives.
"WHY WON'T ANYBODY LISTEN TO ME, IT'S ALL FOR YOUR GOOD!"
Basically a Hitler, convinced that the ovens will cure the Jews of their skin problems. An all powerful, insane entity. Basically Yog-Sothoth.
I just want to share the idea that Satoshi as a villain is amazing. Completely insane after 16 million years of failure.
(I've quoted this from Bridgeburner90.)
-
So apparently Merlin sold Satoshi to a dragon as a prostitute.
-
Umbra, Satoshi already has a villainous counterpart, long story but he's a lot more interesting than burner's attempt. Again Lyco, not a prostitute.
-
Umbra, Satoshi already has a villainous counterpart
He does? I don't recall you ever mentioning him, unless you mean his Dark form, who doesn't really come across as particularly villainous from what I've seen of him.
-
Again Lyco, not a prostitute.
He was pimped out to a dragon by Merlin, though.
-
No Lyco, servitude is different.
-
So he's not the dragon's whore, he's the dragon's bitch.
I wish I could order Satoshi into the kitchen to make me a sandwich
Actually considering his culinary experiences (given to him by chef Gilgamesh) I'd rather not
Then, I could make him do groceries?
Nah, he'd finagle his way into another dimension
Satoshi is the worst bitch ever
-
Names, please desist
-
Jeez, learn to take a joke
-
He didn't for my DBZ joke :(
-
Names, work on your delivery. That shit looks like a mean spirited jab.
-
Only if you're overly sensitive.
Generally saying someone's terrible at being a bitch is not a bad thing on their track record.
-
Names, dude, look at how other people come at me and tell me your joke wasn't similar.
-
The biggest difference is that I'm not serious when I say it.
Which you should come to expect, I haven't been serious about your little man since I tried to explain the flaws in his existence to you.
Which I won't contest any further because I don't give a damn, but still. Serious nevermore.
-
Choice three.
I take three steps and plant my fist into his jaw. The gold-plated hero goes down like a chump. No broken bones in my hand, either, which means I'm right. This guy cannot be the King of Heroes.
As I peer at the limp form of the hero, a whirling noise starts up and he rises to a standing position. His lower jaw is clearly inhuman, metal and false skin clearly visible. Sion moves to attack it, but Dust beats her to the punch and, with a boot to the head, shatters the effigy.
The room fills with silence.
Crap! They wanted me to hit him. They want us untrusting of each other, and if one guy is a robot then anyone could be. Damn it Toshi, you should have known better!
Dust speaks up, and that's when I realize that everyone is dressed differently from usual.
Archer is wearing civilian clothes, specifically a black shirt, black jeans and black shoes, whilst Saber is in rough peasant clothes, with her hair tied in a ponytail. Sakura, meanwhile, is wearing nothing but a pair of jean shorts which are, bizzarely, held together at the sides with snap fasteners, along with a pair of suspenders that are holding up the shorts. Aside from the suspenders, which just barely cover her nipples, her upper half is completely bare. Strangely, her chest seems to be significantly larger.
"There's a medical room, it's automated so we can get the test results without bias", Dust finishes.
I shrug, having lost track of the conversation some time ago, and follow the group. Eventually, we reach the medical room, where we all take blood samples to demonstrate our humanity. The loss of blood is enough to make us all slightly light-headed, and someone suggests that we all head to the dorm, and to the rooms we have been given.
No one objects and we enter our individual rooms. When I wake up from a nap, I'm left lying on this borrowed bed. I wonder what I should do next.
1) Examine the room
2) Explore the facility
3) Meet with the others
-
OK, I'm genuinely not sure about this one, but I think I'm going to go with:
3) Meet with the others
Also, what the hell is going on with Sakura? Why does she seem to be turning into Passion Lips?
-
Literally throw a d6 for me because I'm lost and kinda drunk right now so whatevs
1-2: choice 1
3-4:choice 2
5-6:choice 3
-
I thought you liked Passion Lips Cherry. Also, I go for number 1.
-
With that it's a tie between two and three(sorry Qwerty but you were removed from voting thanks to your prior actions, better luck next game) I'll be closing the vote tomorrow when I get here, so vote asap guys.
-
2) Explore the facility.
-
I thought you liked Passion Lips Cherry.
I don't mind Passion Lips, but regardless it's odd that Sakura has suddenly started to look like her.
-
"Odd" is the nice way to put it. :/
-
Vote closed, winner two.
Lyco, please desist that behavior, the constant digs you take at me are not acceptable. I have said before that there is a reason for it.
-
Eh, I don't mind not voting. Green Lantern.
-
Choice two
It's probably best to look over the facility myself. Yesterday Archer and I did explore a little before finding Shirou, but waiting for him to awaken stopped us investigating any further.
Stepping out of the room, I start to look around the first floor. There are, in total, seven areas on this level. A dining hall, a kitchen, a common area, a bath house, a library, a laundry room and the aforementioned dormitory.
The question is, excluding the dormitory, where I should start my investigation?
1) Dining hall
2) Kitchen
3) Bath house
4) Library
5) Laundry room
6) Common room
-
OK, I'm going to go with the Bath house, because I honestly don't have a clue and that sounds like it might end up with something interesting.
-
Vote closed three is the winner
-
Because Satoshi is such a gentleman.
-
Choice three
We have a bathhouse on the property at home, so investigating the one here makes sense, I guess.
The locker room area is filled with rows of small insets, filled with robes and different types of clothes. It's all fairly standard, although bigger than ours, I guess on account of the number of people present.
With the locker area mapped-out in my head, I move into the bath area. As I step toward the door, it suddenly opens and I'm thrown forward violently. Rolling forward to avoid crashing to the ground, I find myself in the bath area.
Inside, I find Rider, Arc, Leysritt, Nero, Kohaku and the lady pirate Drake all bathing, naked.
Well crap, what to do now?
1) Run, you fool.
2) Calmly join them.
3) Apologize and leave quietly.
-
D) Killyourself via sepukku to right this dishonour
-
Well they didn't waste any time
WE'RE IN A STRANGE NEW HOUSE WITH SOMEONE OBVIOUSLY WATCHING US
BETTER GET NAKED
-
D) Commit sudoku.
A) Run, you fool
-
If you're serious about voting Lyco then follow the OP.
-
We can't add options?
We can only go along the paths you create. Aw that's too bad. Had some fun in Anon Quest creating option (basically turned teh protag into Alex mercer) and that makes the audience feel more involved. Besides you don't get too many people voting so I figured I'd add in an option that would take the story I would actually like it to intead of the 3 little railroad tracks you offered Lantz.
-
There are stories in which that works well, yes (and Lantz has done such before), but the mechanics of this story means that it won't work well here.
-
But it wouldhave been so much fun, would have given the audience a greater sense of participation and challenged the author in new and interesting ways. What's not to like?
-
In Addition adding kill yourself as an option is rude at best Gray.
