Just think of "Maybe Galaxian doesn't actually like it" idk.
Lol Fate/E Atemporale. It's a joke though so xD

Nah I already had/have that thought very firm in my mind lol.
We should just name it Fate/E and get it done with xD

But what if I don't actually like it? Hmmmmmmmmm??

If you actually don't like it you would (and should) tell me straight away lol.
I mean I wouldn't be offended lol.
Offline
I actually wouldn't xD
So the title's Fate/Dolce Atemporale?

For now it is. I'll continue trying to come up with something, and I'll let you know if there's an option worth considering uwu.
Offline
Alright. However, if it's literally the best option for you, then I don't think thinking about it more would be wise.

👍!
Give me until tomorrow. If I don't reconsider, then it's cause the option does seem good enough to me.
But if you're not sure you like it then do tell me please so I can think more.

Alright, sounds good.

Update!
Seems like my grandma's fine now :D
-Galaxian-Sorry for the late response. Tbh the lack of response was more due to some considerations, but I guess you tolerate me really well and I'm not meaning to be offensive anyways, so it should be fine?
Anyways, it's good to hear. I guess by now she's probably home. I just wanted to put out a reminder of sorts, I guess? Since she was at a hospital, maybe it's a good idea to kinda quarantine her, especially since it doesn't sound like you and your family have been vaccinated/can be vaccinated soon. Your mom does have some immunity, I guess, but since she hasn't been resting well and there are variants running all over the place, I feel like it's better safe than sorry.
But quarantining aside, I'm glad she seems better. Don't be completely optimistic 'bout it, just so you guys can be cautious enough to consider everything that needs to be considered, but I hope that optimism will show the actual way things go this time around. Make sure she rests well, eats well, drinks a lot of water, and is happy in general, and all of you, stay safe.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice my post didn't send earlier.
Your advice is appreciated! I'll make sure to tell my mom just in case.
Actually something came up yesterday apparently, and now grandma's going to be staying hospitalized for one or two more days. Her recuperation is not being as quick as they originally said it would be, so there's a big big chance that she'll be sent home without a complete recovery.
Really sucks, but safety first I guess.
Still can't say for sure how much longer this will take. She's really nervous and that's not helping her get better. Anyways, hoping for the best, and thank you for your reply :D.

-Galaxian-It's fine, no biggie compared to the amount of time it took for me to respond, lol.
Well, she's pretty old, so that's to be expected in itself, to be honest. Also, it gives y'all more time to get ready for her coming back, so that's also good. Make her a smoothie or smthn ig. (Lol I suck at surprises)
Offline
I know, I kinda expected it, but still doesn't mean I won't worry at least a bit :')
But true! Maybe I can gather up our roses into a vase xD.
Dude thank you for replying lol it feels good to talk about this with someone, even if it's just a couple sentences.
Offline
-Galaxian-Yeah, I know.
Be careful, those things have really aggressive thorns.
Lol, like I would usually say, there's probably someone who's much better in terms of being someone to talk to about these sorts of things than me, but I'm glad that talking with me at least makes you feel better.

Caster, about Archer, to Sunny: Be careful, Master! Something tells me that this guy is trouble and never wins fights!

Aereon, to Berserker: I'd like to offer you moral support, but I have questionable morals.

Yvonne: With great power comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later.

The first one is more in-character than I could ever roleplay Caster xDDD
Also I agree with Yvonne, please just let her take a nap.

Seems like he just needs to meet Archer then xD to be mean to Archer you must meet Archer
Rider's fine with that. He can wake her up later

I don't know if I'll be able to do that well xD
I don't know if I'm looking forward to their meeting either xD
Do you mean Saber?

-Nyoko is gonna summon her Servant probably in the late afternoon, latest would be midnight. Maybe 9 P.M.
-Dion probably is gonna summon on either the 6th or 7th day, probably 6th due to his narrator's wishes. Probably before lunch; he wants to summon in the earlier parts of the day.
-Aisline will probably summon 4th day, during the afternoon so she can rest afterwards.
-Aereon is probably gonna summon on the 7th day, out of hubris.

Thank you for reminding me uwu.
The last part made me laugh but it's accurate xD. I lowkey wanna have Aereon suffer for that, but I don't want to make too much trouble for Berserker.
Soooo...what the next part of development for the AU we need to discuss?
Offline
Yloh liarG.
:0 "Liar." A good description of the original lesser Grail in canon xD
Probably Caster-related stuff, to be honest. That's what my mind is picking out to be "both the most troublesome as well as what will probably be the most troublesome" so
-Galaxian-
Offline
Yes, not just a liar, but a lie itself lol xD
Ookay then. I think we'll be starting from there, right?
Is there a part you thought for discussion?
Offline
Tactics, terrain. The "first summoning" part of the Grail's rules is definitely a lil iffy as of right now and probably needs work, and--wow, Caster's summoning happens to be the first summoning. Anyways, working on it probably will yield what the part of the world looks like as well, or at least the specific part that will be Caster's domain. Essentially--surroundings construction, solidification of the Grail's rules/logic and motives behind them. And tactics.
I did want to ask you too--think it's important to actually roleplay summonings in order? Or maybe just prudent, instead of important?

I think we mentioned something about a possible location while we were headcanoning in the beginning. I suppose we'll be building off that?
Like, are you asking around what part of the world the Grail War will take place? We did discuss this before but Caster's ideal domain should be a forested area.
Right now I'm just thinking of the general tactic of the Caster class. You know, setting up a good territory as a base and that. It's obviously the place Caster will have more access to "power".
Oh yeah I wanted to ask that as well xD. I don't know if it's that relevant as long as we stick to a general timeline in mind. I think it might be prudent, as you said, to probably roleplay Caster's summon first. But to do that we need to clear up at least this part of the worldbuilding and dev.
What do you think? What's your opinion on this?
I woke up too early today so I'm going to take a nap xD. Meanwhile, type away all you want, and I'll do better at replying with a refreshed mind later.

The location was like a "modern-time setting," near a suburban (I think) city of sorts. A forest is a central part of it. I kinda have an image in my head for it, not that I can say it's realistic, accurate, or helpful at all. But the central idea is that other cities tend to, like, you know, cut down forests, including those around it, for their construction. This one probably has a special forest that's so special (maybe a special species somewhere in it) that it has tourism reasons for it not being cut down. Or maybe the city's founders were actually good, ecologically responsible people, idk., since there's such a wide range of forest. Or maybe it has cultural significance, where some very important battle of the past was fought or where the founders of the "city" (a long time ago) were able to gain shelter and food after being prosecuted? Beats me tbh xD.
I don't really have an opinion. I just have different views from the different opinions.
For instance, that choosing which summons to do first might be too biased. It might lead to disinterest and a major clogging point when the "less interesting" summons occur. Then again, there's also how choosing summons can be beneficial as long as the "choosing" is more planning, and done in moderation. By choosing the supposedly more interesting ones and timing them so that they're spaced out evenly (in between the "less interesting summons", we could maybe do an even better job of maintaining interest and activity for this AU. And then another part of me points out how there might be certain happenings that do matter, chronologically, and thus it'd be a wise choice to POV chronologically. But then another part of the mind doubts that too important things will happen because of the no-fighting rule imposed by the Grail System...and then another part of the mind that scoffs at that part of the mind.
Lol, you see, I think quite differently from some people, who immediately think of an opinion. But me, I just think of both and never really choose unless I need to xD

Yeah I think it was something like that. I do have a mental image too but it's probably very different from yours xD. Especially since the main details already defined are few and the rest is my imagination Ig.
I imagined that the city would've grown expanding in the forest's opposite direction but that's not really how cities work lol. That forest area definitely has significance though. Maybe the city is kinda ecological or something?
Is it that important to figure out why the forest is there?
Yeah what you said there xD. That's a good way of putting it.
Okay but to be honest do you think any of the summons wouldn't be interesting? Not that it has to do much with how we end up roleplaying this, bc I think it's possible that we mix up things and create an interesting roleplaying schedule, just like you said!
Still, I think we should have Caster's summon be a starting point. Maybe it turns out that doing it chronologically is already a way set up with interesting timing. We'd have to check. And for important things, well, I know several of those come up during the roleplay, but if there's something major and we decide to skip ahead for another thread event then we could just keep in it mind for chronology? Once again, just like you say in that sentence, much major stuff shouldn't happen since it's just a bonding week Ig lol.
I wonder if there'll be readers aside from us xD. If there are then we definitely want to do a good job at keeping them entertained, right?
I tend to think of options before opinions and that's why I sometimes give vague answers lol but at the same time I assume I'm being asked for an opinion xD. Bruh anyways idk lol.
Offline
Yes, it is.
I personally don't think of any summons being "un-interesting," but I think there may be the possibility of some being a deal more interesting than the others.
Guess I really have to get on Sunny's design then, huh. (*continues to design Archer instead*)
One part of me wants there to be readers, and another part of me hopes there won't be any. No comment other than that inner conflict, because of the inner conflict. Yay.

Okay. Thinking about it a bit, I like your idea about the forest being a sort of cultural/historical site. Maybe that makes it a tourism site? Or maybe it's just that people aren't really supposed to go there, like, not a popular place or something.
I think I agree with that. So what do you say about the roleplaying order then? We don't need to set it out clear right now.
Take your time xD. Tbh I'm curious for the designs tho :3
I don't care much about having readers or not Ig I just hope that if there are any they won't be disappointed and if there are none that the roleplay is interesting enough for us xD.
