You're after the french revolution but before the american one, you said?

[RoydGolden]

You're after the french revolution but before the american one, you said?

"No, maybe I misspoke. I'm after both revolutions, America was already firmly established in my lifetime."

Did you have any association with women's suffrage?

[RoydGolden]

Did you have any association with women's suffrage?

"Yes, I was involved with the movement."

Lucy Stone?

[RoydGolden]

Lucy Stone?

"Nope, she was already a middle-aged woman by the time I was even born. Sounds like a badass though!"

[jishara]

What type of event did you use the ceremonial sword for?

[BnEl15]

Did you dabble in fashion or the arts?

[RoydGolden]

What type of event did you use the ceremonial sword for?

"It was a wedding ceremony, hence my attire. To be honest that anecdote doesn't stand out so much alongside many of the other things I got up to, but it appears it was enough for me to manifest in this Class."

Did you dabble in fashion or the arts?

"I was known for my fashion choices, especially my love of giant hats. I even had a color named after me."

[BnEl15]

Alice Roosevelt?

[RoydGolden]

"Yep, the one the people reverently called 'Princess Alice' for my audacious antics, that's me! I look forward to forging a name for myself in this era as well!"

The Boy awakens from his transient slumber.

"Where...?"



"This place... If... No... I know where this is."

The Boy turns to look for that man.

But he was nowhere to be seen.

Only esoteric ruins remained around him. Stuck in timeless stasis.

"But why...?"

He felt the cloak on his shoulder.



He remembers what he must do.

"That battle... That place... Where he now lies... It is not over yet..."

He closes his eyes...

"It is here... where we must gather once again. To do battle against Adversity."

He raised his voice towards the skies. Towards the seas. Towards the Ends of Time and Space.

"Hear me!"

"Eternal Companions of the King of Conquerors!"

"It is here where he stands! It is here where we shall rally!"

"Come forward! From Past and Future! From one end of the Worlds to the other!"

"Friends from Eras that is impossible for him to meet you!"

"Friends from Lands that was impossible for him to greet you!"

"All are considered friends to him!"

"All are considered his closest companions!"

"Of one timeline! Of another!"

"Answer his call!"

"And stand by his side once more!"

---
AN: Who shall answer the call of the King of Conquerors? Who is willing to step upon the beaches of Okeanos once again? Who among all Histories shall step forth against Adversity?

Who you are guessing is not who you may expect.

Regular guesses or Servants who answer the Call are accepted guesses to fish hints for. Five guesses/questions as per usual.

[BnEl15]

"Now isn't this a touching reunion. You must be... no, I suppose it is too soon for me to hazard a guess. Perhaps you are summoned in a form different than how I remember you, if our paths ever crossed at all. Were you involved in that war fought between the Diadochi following the king's passing? Hmph, in any case... another expedition, is it? Life in Egypt had its ups and downs, but it has not eroded my senses in the battlefield just yet, I assure you. My name is Ptolemy, Pharaoh of Egypt, Father of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and creator of the Great God Serapis! However, at this moment... those titles are irrelevant! I am once again a blade to be wielded beside my king! Now lead the way, Okeanos awaits!"

[Ismail2002]

To what end would seek out this conquest of yours, Fame, Fortune, or Faith? I rather not blindly follow someone to an endless war without a clear reason for it.

Pope Julius II:
"Another battle? How fun, I'm always up for that. So lead on. Anyway, were you a warrior in life?"

"Hail, Pharaoh of Egypt. Hail, God of Serapis. Hail... Friend of Iskandar. It is good to see your face. You have brought... your followers, yes? The ramparts require many more companions than we can muster at the moment. I hazard we require those who exist within our King's dream in all timelines for this coming battle. Our King cannot manifest in his highest form with so few numbers after all."

"Hail, Commander of the Holy People. Hail, Fellow Follower of a being larger than Life. Hail... Kindred to Iskandar. Tell me, Muslim. Did you feel the same as us when you fought for the dreams of your Prophet? Could it be that you have arrived to this battlefield by the request of your beloved Messenger? To assist in this great battle foretold in the pages of your religious texts?"

"Hail, Vicar of Christ. Hail, Father of the Church. Hail... Slayer of Barbarians. Our King could not have asked for a more potent comrade. You, who stood for the Word of your God. You, who stood tall with a warrior's heart. You... who now stand at the shores of Okeanos to prevent the End of Times foretold in your ancient testaments. May we fight well."

Initial Manifestation active.

In a mere moment or perhaps it was an eternity...

The ruins that surrounded the Boy morphed and shifted.

Cracked foundations repaired themselves. Fallen walls reversed into pristine conditions. Abandoned battlements fortified themselves to become worthy of a great war once more.

Until...

"My King... We await for your return..."

"Iskandar is calling? How marvelous. I shall join this battle, in honor of the revered founder. Ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself. My true name is Berenice II, the warrior queen of Egypt. Now then, lead the way."

[BnEl15]

"Tch, I swear, that Pharaoh seemingly loses all reason the moment anyone mentions 'The King of Conquerors' and 'Okeanos' in the same sentence. I am nowhere as foolish, though. For one, I believe there is more to this 'adversity' you speak of. I mean, a great battle comparable to the end times written in the scriptures! One that would require men from worlds beyond our own! Such battle seems absolutely delightful, and yet I cannot help but think that your ambition lies further than the shores of Okeanos. In any case, allow me to partake. I simply cannot pass up on the chance to witness the beauty of humanity once again, which I am certain to encounter as we fight and claw our way to victory. Still... I am very much interested to hear more of this 'adversity' you speak of."

Creator's notes

There's something reaaal sus going on here, though I can't place my finger on what.

[BnEl15]

...Well, it's been five days, so I interrupt this round with another round!
We can go back to Scribe after this, and this one shouldn't be too hard.

Assassin of the Flourishing Chateau
-- ??????? of the ???? Garden --

"Oh, is it my turn? Public appearances are such a pain, I'd rather go back to my garden and- I can't? What do you mean I can't do that? Aren't you the one who insisted on summoning a third-rate Servant like myself? It should come off as no surprise when I'd rather sit back and indulge in my hobbies, especially when you have so many others better suited for any kind of Servant-work."
...
"Fine, just this once... Ahem, greetings! I am... no, I shouldn't mention anything about my name. I swear, those titles will be the death of me one day. I am Servant Assassin, a completely ordinary woman with an ordinary life who never once got involved in any kind of war nor political unrest. This is my companion... huh? Now where did that boy run off to? Well, I'm sure he'll be back, sooner or later. He's always been so overprotective of me, I think it's good for him to walk around and get some air by himself every now and again. There. Can I go back now?"

Creator's Notes

Finding her companion can be treated as some kind of sidequest here. It's not necessary to figure out her identity (and she's more famously known for a few other things outside simply having this companion anyways), but it would greatly help in limiting your options. Maybe some Servants can help with that?
