FATE/TERROR
TYPE-MOON Reformatory.
Main Building: ???
June 17th, 5:57 PM.
The place itself was pretty dark.
The room had no windows, so the weak sunlight could not get in, no matter how hard it tried. There were no lights turned on, or candles lit up. The door was locked tight, and the lights from the hallway did not reach the place where she sat.
But, even with the lack of illumination, her figure did not become any less beautiful. Despite being surrounded by darkness, her pure silver hair and her charming yellow eyes were not swallowed by it.
And, using the instrument before her, Caren Ortensia began playing a song she played many times before. One of her favorites, you could say, for reasons unknown.
For this particular song... She did not need to see the keys.
Nagareru toki no naka matataku setsuna teki kirameki wo
Amidst the passing time, a twinkling and ephemeral sparkling
Kono yo no kioku ni kizamu tame aruki tsuzukeru Believer
I'm a believer that keeps walking, to carve her memories of it into the world
She sang... Only to be listened by death itself.

"Are you sure about this...?"
He was asked by a serious voice. Or more like 'it' was asked? It was hard to tell. Its figure hardly resembled a man anymore. Its insides were that of a monster. A empty monster who have been filled with a purpose. But, being too 'old' to continue, the only thing he needed...
--- was one who will take its place.
"Yes. This is what has to be done."
It aswered, with a rotten voice.
To this, the man was filled with an inexplicable joy, and curiosity.
"Then I'll do nothing to stop you... Let their test start."
TYPE-MOON Reformatory.
Main Building: Special Classroom.
June 17th, 5:57 PM.
"This would not have happened had you decided not to stand in my way."
Matou Shinji: In detention for starting a fight.
"Sorry. I just couldn't let you treat a girl like that."
Enjou Tomoe: In detention for the very same reason.
"Hah, that...?"
The blue haired boy sighed, as if pitying the naivety of one sitting behind him.
"Tohsaka Rin does not deserve that sort of treatment. After all, she punched me first, you know...? Can you believe it...?"
He got angrier and angrier as he said so.
"Just wait until grandfather finds out... He is th-"
But a new voice interrupted him.
"Could you please shut up? I've heard that story a thousand times already. We all know your grandfather is the Headmaster. If he wanted to do something about you, I bet he would have done it already, Shinji."
Kokutou Asaka: In detention for starting a fire.
"S-Shut up! You will regret talking to me like that!"
He said, unable to come up with a counter attack.
"Easy."
The professor in charge, Julius Belkisk Harway, stopped them, before things could get any worse. The aura that emanated from him was so frightening, than everyone in the classroom resorted to silence. With one or two threatening looks, it was decided that they would settle the score later, somewhere else.
"Actually, it's already six, so I guess we can leave now, right?"
A male student with white hair declared, as he pointed his finger towards the clock on top of the blackboard. But there was no answer. Professor Harway made one step backwards, then one step forward, clearly lacking balance.
"Something wrong, sensei?"
Matou Shinji mocked him. It was only when he saw the man grab his chest, that his face adopted a terrified expression, finally realizing that something serious was going on. The blue haired boy turned his head to the left, only to spot other two students with the same symptoms.
In a matter of seconds, three persons collapsed, lifeless. Among them were Professor Harway and Kokutou Azaka. The only two who remained there alive...
---- Were him, and Enjou Tomoe.

Starting Point: 2F - Student Council.
What they have been doing: Argument with Issei over club funds.
NPCs in the same area: Ryuudou Issei; MMC
"But Presid-!"
Issei did not manage to end his last sentence. The alarm was something that caught him off guard, but at the same time allowed him to calm down, as ironic as that might seem.
"... Now that seems serious. As members of the Student Council, It is our duty to protect the safety of those inside the school. Let's go see what this is all about."
MMC, the brown haired boy who was also there, nodded in approval.
"President. Let's go."
•Tui (Brynhilde)
Starting Point: 2F - Drama Club.
What they have been doing: Acting.
NPCs in the same area: TATARI; Illyasviel Von Einzbern
It was a very classic play. Its plot was very predictable, but there was still plenty of entertainment. They were reaching the climax of the story, where the wicked villain threatened to kill the princess' daugther if she didn't marry him right there.
TATARI, who was playing the villain, was holding Illyasviel Von Einzbern, with a knife -an imitation, of course- close to her neck. She had taken her as a hostage. Tui, who was playing the princess, had just asked him to release her 'daughter'.
"No. This is my insurance. Only after you marry me I'll let her go."
TATARI was determined that the show must go continue, despite the annoying alarm voice. But, after a few seconds, and before Tui could continue with her act, his patience reached the limit, and he waved his arms, as a signal that it was over for today.
"Illyasviel, Tui. It was a magnificent act. However, as things are right now, it seems we won't be able to continue."
He said, somewhat dissapointed.
Illya on the other hand, seemed to be quite happy about it. After circlying around Tui twice, she grabbed her hand, and insisted on going outside.
"Let's go Tui! Let's see what's going on out there!"
It was hard to say 'no' to that angelical face of hers.
•Wizard (Fangstrike)
Starting Point: 2F - Detective Club.
What they have been doing: Talking about mysteries that could be investigated.
NPCs in the same area: Aozaki Touko; Kokutou Mikiya
"Oh. Seems we've got a winner."
Aozaki Touko let out, somewhat relieved, as she put out a new cigarette and lit it.
Their previous talk had been just garbage, as those mysteries were nothing more than rumors. Truth is, the Detective Club was not what it had once been. Lately, they had become something close to the School Newspaper, looking for interesting things to be investigated. However, those things were often boring and sometimes stupid.
This was, in a way, their chance to recover the light they had lost.
"Mikiya, Wizard. Find out what's going on. I'll be with you in a few."
Kokutou Mikiya stood up, quite enthusiastically, and gave Touko an assenting nod.
"Yes, boss!"
He then turned to his partner, Wizard. There was no need for words, they were going.
•Merry (Mereo Flare), Ryuuji (Mellon)
Starting Point: 1F - Reception.
What they have been doing: Just came back from a game - Talking about Merry's lost PDA.
NPCs in the same area: Irisviel Von Einzbern
Irisviel Von Einzbern, the receptionist, was really nervous. She moved from side to side behind the counter, as if looking for something, to no avail. After a few seconds, she picked up the phone, but she hung up shortly after that.
It was then when she noticed Merry and Ryuuji, still wearing their baseball uniforms, standing there.
"E-Excuse me! Could you please do me a favor?"
She desperately called up to them.
•Ace (Ace), Harabote Hina of the Steady Hand (Chaos Greyblood)
Starting Point: 2F - Dojo.
What they have been doing: Watching a sparring match between Ryougi Shiki & Saber.
NPCs in the same area: Ryougi Shiki; Saber
"Kuh...!"
"Guh...!"
Their shinais clashed with a tremendous force. For those who were witnessing the ferocious battle, it seemed their weapons were about to break apart. They were evenly matched. Ryougi was clearly faster, but Saber could be compared like to an impenetrable wall. However, as she had to focus on defense, there was no room for a counter-attack.
The alarm, however, made them come back to reality.
"Let's take a break."
Saber offered, to which Shiki nodded in approval.
They both approached Hina and Ace, they cleaned the sweat off their faces with their towels.
"But, seriously, what was that just now...?"
Ryougi inquired. This made Saber stretch her eyes, as if she was trying to remember something.
"The Kira Case... I think I heard about it somewhere..."
•Ashura (Blackdeath6031)
Starting Point: 1F - Cafeteria.
What they have been doing: Having a Snack.
NPCs in the same area: Hotaruzuka Otoko; Rani VIII; Leo B. Harway
It was weird.
The alarm should have made people at the Cafeteria panic. Or, at the very least, it should have made them interested on what was going on. But that did not happen. It was as if the cafeteria was a different world, separated from the Reformatory.
---To make things even stranger...
"Hello. My name is Leonard Harway, but you can call me Leo. Can I sit here with you...?"
The blonde, clearly rich, boy asked. He seemed to pay no attention to the alarm, or he didn't consider it to be anything serious.
•Pflaume (Ivan the Mouse)
Starting Point: 2F - History Club.
What they have been doing: Reading.
NPCs in the same area: Medea; Kuzuki Souichirou
"That is..."
Professor Kuzuki reacted immediately. He closed his book, stood up, and reached out to the door handle in a three second span.
"Wait, Souichirou-sama! It could be dangerous!"
Medea tried to stop his loved one from going, with no success.
"I'm going. You can do as you please."
There was silence. She then turned to the one known as 'Plum'. She would be the one to make the decision. Stay at the club room with Medea... Or follow Kuzuki and figure out what triggered the alarm.
•Aaron (Satehi), Messenger (hero)
Starting Point: 2F - Art Club.
What they have been doing: Drawing/Painting.
NPCs in the same area:None
Messenger did not react. He continued to work on his drawing, which was nearing its completition. It's only natural, for he cannot hear or speak any word. In other words, he is both deaf and mute. Well, to be honest, the reformatory did not perform any test on him to see if this was true or not. They didn't bother, given that it seemed to be that way.
The easiest method to comunicate with him was by PDA messaging, but people who knew the deaf alphabet could comunicate with him without the need of technology.
His drawing featured some greek woman drinking from a chalice. Indeed, on the top of the drawing there was an inscription that confirmed this. "Forbidden Chalice", it said.

•X over Y (Tangerang)
Starting Point: 1F - Hallway - Near Special Classroom.
What they have been doing: Ordered to deliver some pills to Julius Belkisk Harway.
NPCs in the same area: Matou Shiniji; Enjou Tomoe
The door was violently slammed open. Out of the classroom came Matou Shinji, walking backwards. Taken over by fear he tripped and fell down on his butt, his back to the wall.
"Y-You... It's you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you! Y-You killed them!"
He was talking to someone who was still inside the classroom.
"N-No! Don't come any closer! G-Get away!"
Gathering his strenght, Matou Shinji managed to get up. He immediately started to run away, only to find that X/Y was standing in the middle of the hall. Apparently, he hadn't noticed her until that time.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY-!"
He yelled in desperation, as he pushed the girl aside with force enough to make her fall. He continued to run as if nothing happened, and was able to flee from the scene.
"Ah... This is bad."
Enjou Tomoe scratched his head, nervously, as he came out of the classroom.
