Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order]

Reader mode
Well, there's Jack the Ripper too. And I don't just mean Jackie, 1888 is within the timeframe living Jack was active. Although with how Fate pushes on the ''no one know who they are'' part of their legend meeting the real one might be inappropriate. It's probably why they went with summoned Jackie in the canon Singularity.

Who is Barthomeloi? I can check wiki (and i did), but name-drop without any explanation before, or after (besides "it's influential aristocratic magus family", is a bad form.

One of the 12 Lords of the Clocktower

Here's the page for the family head as of the early 2000s: Barthomeloi Lorelei she's head of the Policies Department, and also the Vice Director of the Clocktower as a whole.
 
Heh, London is gonna be hard on Taylor, as her usual bug network is gonna get killed by that damn fog. And woidl be cut eid they managed to find Albions head or a fragment and managed to get Melusine ahead of time... Meluko and Jeannu getting into arguments would be funny, then Saber Alter joining in to create more chaos...
 
Things that happened in 1888:
The Football League was founded
Tiddly-Winks was invented
The first film was recorded
The first of the Whitechapel murders (a series of 11 murders, 5 of which were linked to Jack the Ripper)
 
I just had a thought...
would Emiya connect the dots that Makiri Zolgen is actually Zouken Matou?

Sidenote, personally, about the whole mystery of Jack the Ripper in fate, I always had an idea, that there were several "jack the rippers", with Wraith Jackie being one of them and due to collective beliefs from humanity (and no body of jack found/captured) the different sides coalesced into the multifaceted existance in the Throne of Heroes.

i think in fate, canonically, there was only 1 "real" jack the ripper.
But because it was never discovered who it was and the continuous mystery over it, the position of "jack the ripper" is open to anyone who could have believably been it (not limited to mundane people)
examples: A collection of wraiths, An embodiment of the mystery itself, etc.

I think you meant the Animusphere the Barthomeloi are a different High lord family entirely. Namely they are led by the Vice Director who has the biggest hate lady boner for vampires EVER. Not to mention have no real connection to the cast of FGO.

Lil' Jack Assassin explicitely says in her Interlude she doesn't know if she's the real "Jack the Ripper" and she's afraid Master would leave her if the real deal appeared.

Honestly, leaving the real identity uncertain is one of the best thing for a figure that is especially known for not knowing who they are.
 
Nobody is going to think "hey, there's an incredibly infamous serial killer in this time period, in London", which should pretty much occur to anyone with the slightest connection to post-19th century London or English literature?

Like, you know, Waver, Marie, or Taylor?

That would require that Taylor be relevant as anything other than an observer and advisor. She hasn't really done anything in quite a while beyond angst and leave everything to other people.

You forget that Zolgen's Mastery of Worm Familiars came from the Demon God he he butchered to learn it's secrets (yeah, he soloed it, Zolgen was badass)and that's in Normal Human History. Not at all what is going on in the Singularity.

wut? really?
i know Zolgen/Zouken was a host for the demon pilarBarbatos of his time, but did he really exorcise it and then went full magus on it?

Albion is only mostly dead. Its spirit still remains bound to its corpse, still futilely trying to dig all the way through to the Fairylands.

As for Jack, they're an unusual situation in that there is no one true Jack the Ripper. Since they were never caught, their identity is a big fat "What If?". Our adorable little bundle of joy and murder is only one possibility, a potential Jack; it could have been Prince Albert Victor (using magecraft or a body double to be in London when he was supposed to be at Balmoral), Sir William Gull (there was a theory in the 70s that he did it), a Clock Tower magus performing some depraved experiment, or someone else altogether. It might even have been Moriarty; 1888 is after all his time period, and while he prefers to be the mastermind, he certainly wouldn't have a problem with getting his own hands dirty.

He arched an eyebrow. "You don't remember? I already told you guys. I'm just holding the seat. The proper heir of the El-Melloi lordship is someone else entirely."

However it was that worked. Clock Tower politics had always sounded positively medieval when Marie described them to me.

"Hopefully," Romani cut in, voice strained, "you won't encounter anyone like that

This is the sort of thing that makes me wonder if we'll be seeing Reines sooner rather than later. Sima Yi isn't a particularly strong fit for London but on the other hand, it'd be pretty funny.

Oh yes. They encounter Reines after losing contact with Chaldea, and circumstances conspire to keep Waver in the dark about the strangely helpful "Lord El-Melloi" being Reines until they bring her back to Chaldea with them, at which point he promptly flips out.

They do know, but why on earth would a single serial killer, however infamous, be capable of or desire to uproot the entirety of human history?

That was fun! Marie is really protective of her people. It's comforting to rember how important Taylor and Mash are to her.

This is probably an old topic by now but Taylor's nature in the setting brings up some interesting questions with the Lost Belts. Could they bring people from those worlds back with them or is there a special allowance just for Taylor?
