Fate/Clusterfuck (Fate/Stay Night) Mature - Fantasy - Modern

The tale of a grail war gone mad. As a young boy finds a dying witch in a park, many destinies are altered. And in distant England, a shadow stirs.
 
USA! Now I remember. So this is... probably George Washington though it could also be some other notable historical American figure who would have negative memories of snow in Pennsylvania. Assuming it is Washington that means we have a tactical badass who was so charismatic people wanted him to be king. Nice.

As an added bonus, with all due respect to the canonical source material, basically anything American president wise will be better than the insanely stupid corpse of an amalgamation that is Thomas Edison in FGO.

I almost want to guess that Ruler is Thomas Jefferson, but that's almost a pure guess as he's only really slightly taller than Washington.

You know what? I like this plan

Magical GIrl Shirou.is.a.GO!

Besides, Lancer Demon God Pillar has been a Big Problem for a Long time. Gotta TRY take him down
 
It's a bit frustrating to be late to making this suggestion, but maybe we could offer to give Ruby a polish with wood oil, without gloves, as additional incentive to behave? Have the vote be something like:

[X] [Write-in] Have Ruby and Ayako take her family to safety while Shirou and the Witches (and any Servants we can get here without a command seal) go to help the man. Offer to polish Ruby with wood oil (by hand) if she promises to behave and help.
 
Uh, no. Remember what happened last time Ruby was left alone with Ayako and her family?
Would note that Ruby is best considered as a magical girl obsessed fairy. She's not evil(just insane by human definitions) and the magical girl thing to do right now is either fight the monster or save the civilians.

At first I thought Medea had finally slugged Circe, but nope!

His hair was white, but… oddly unnaturally so, in a way, you couldn't quite describe. In one hand he held an old-fashioned flintlock pistol, in the other, a slightly curved sword.
Instead it was George Motherfuckin' Washington! He's here with a powdered wig and an axe to grind against the local toothy anomaly!

Let's go help!

Circe is fast enough to magic away to the civvies somewhere safe and then poof back to help save us from our horrible decisions!
 
He was dressed in a blue and gold… uniform of some sort, you didn't recognize the make, but it was old. It was also torn to shred, bits of it were missing, and gashes cut into the material to reveal bloody skin underneath. His hair was white, but… oddly unnaturally so, in a way, you couldn't quite describe. In one hand he held an old-fashioned flintlock pistol, in the other, a slightly curved sword. He tucked the second away quickly, reaching down to aid Circe. "My apologies madam."

In bullet point form :

  1. Blue & Gold uniform.
  2. Unnaturally white hair.
  3. Flintlock pistol
  4. Cavalry saber

As others have speculated, (putting in a picture will get those who skim comments to notice) it is most likely :



George Washington

Results so far.

To leave somebody to fight evil alone not this hero of justice

Glad to hear it!

Willing to change vote with good enough debating, but rn this seems the best option. For the sake of specification, I'd prefer Medea go with us--between her sulking and Circe's recent bedroom time, it would likely be better to have Medea take the role that keeps her close to Shirou. Grand Witch is cute and cool and awesome, but Medea is more likely to stick to a defensive/buff/debuff role in combat.

I brought it up earlier but Shirou already spent most of his mana this morning on helping Mordred. I think any plan where we make him fight without doing something to rectify this (for example borrowing Ruby) is going to get us killed. Not a lot of people seem to be biting on plan mahou shoujo shirou-chan though

Fair point. That said, after what just happened I'm iffy on any plan involving immediate reliance on Ruby (also at this point in time I'm not convinced we can summon Mordred from this distance without using a CS). That nixes two options, and of the remaining two (with decent votes) I'm thinking it's safer to go the distance and have a servant get Ayako's family to safety.

hey listen
I know this guy is a bit beyond Ayako's capabilities right now
but if not now, then when the hell is she ever going to gain confidence in her ability to protect her loved ones
we can't just give her Ruby and tell her no, she's got to be <this> tall to fw a servant
we've got Circe AND Medea in one spot, if that's not strong enough a pair of training wheels for baby's first Beserker Worldstar when will another chance come?
