Chaldea's Gems

Somewhere in Hawaii another island has been created, lava still flowing as it grows out of the sea. If an entire island wasn’t odd enough, there seems to be enough magical energy there to interfere with even analyzing the location! The island itself is infested with Berserker Class Servants and spirits of madness, all consumed by madness and attacking nearly anything on sight! On the island multiple servants have managed to get a foot hold, and want to control more of the island! Though, their true goal is destroying Chaldea. There seems to be one Berserker servant behind this, but their identity is unknown.. And another thing unknown as of right now is the effect of the island! It’s covered in so much magical energy because it has a passive effect on anybody who is on the island. You will begin to go mad.

“Mechanic” wise that means that servants will begin to gain the skill Madness Enchantment while on the island, and regular humans may start to find themselves easier to anger, and may find it a bit harder to think rationally. The rate at which servants gain ranks in Madness Enchantment varies, with those who have magic resistance gaining it slower, and Berserkers gaining higher levels incredibly quick! Foreigners are near immune the the effect as well! 

There’s going to be a few NPC berserkers, but there’s going to be a few “boss” ones as well, which will be split between me, @grandchaos, and @despairfiles! We’ll reveal those as the event goes on!

Tags will likely be (for me at least!)

Island Of Madness;; Berserker Event

Island Announcement;; Event Update

“Oh, hello Serenity. Standing in your silent vigil I see.” Polite as always.

!

“Ah.. Yes, I heard you say that you want today to stay quiet so.. I’m now going to make sure it does.”

‘ —  hahaha ! ‘  an outburst like that was one of the last things he expected from her .  was there a wrong way to take his words ?  then again ,  there was pretty much a wrong way to take anything somebody said ,  wasn’t there ?  ‘ don’t worry ,  don’t worry about it !  even if somebody did start thinkin’ somethin’ weird ,  i’d probably be the only one gettin’ punished for it . ‘  well ,  not that he could ever claim himself innocent for as long as he ran his big mouth . 

it’s another cause for the raise of his brows the moment she inquires over his own birthday .  how much did she know about him ,  exactly ?  probably not much ,  to ask something like that .  little orphan boys didn’t get birthdays ,  and he wasn’t like her —  involved with the world so much that anyone would bother to pay any attention to him .  ‘ my birthday … ‘  a brief melancholy settles over his expression ,  nothing more than a passing shadow before it brightens ,  vibrant .  

‘ my birthday …  is every day ! ‘  any day ,  whenever he wanted !  …  at least ,  it could be .  ‘ but too much of a good thing an’ it starts ta get borin’ ,  na ?  my havin’ yours was just a joke ,  mash ,  c’mon ,  y’should let us all spoil ya for once !  how about this ,  y’want anythin’ else ?  ‘cause you’re a special birthday girl ,  yatta ~ ! ‘

“That’s not true at all! If you’re not careful I’ll have Kiyohime interrogating me again! Do you know how stressful that can be?! I’d absolutely be the one in trouble!” A short pause “But.. I guess she’d want to ask you questions as well..”

She tried to feign a look of belief, not wanting to give away the fact that she noticed that split second where the other’s expression changed. She wasn’t one to point such a thing out though. Even with Senpai she usually kept quiet if she noticed such a thing.

“That makes sense.. But, I haven’t seen you celebrate in awhile, so I don’t mind sharing at least some of my day with you!” She was already holding out one of the pieces of candy she was given

“Honestly, I’ve gotten the feeling that in the modern era, the general opinion on you has gotten better. So, the humans in Chaldea probably think you’re just fine, although they might expect you to be a bit more passive. Nothing to be done preemptively on the latter, and in this old man’s opinion it’s probably a boon if there’s anyone you need to surprise. I think you’ll be pretty fine, everything considered. Even Achilles doesn’t make much of long-dead events.”

‘ ah ,  sheesh … ‘  where to even start with this ?  it’s a little strange to want to give the sort of speech the master should have been giving to her ,  but …  ‘ i guess it’s fine if y’think about it that way ,  but you’re still master’s first servant . ‘

‘ not only that ,  but the day you’re born is practically the day y’first came inta contact with the world ,  right ?  your existence is definitely a celebrated one …  well ,  one that deserves celebratin’ ,  at least . ‘  although really ,  in the end ,  mash was just a humble girl .  

‘ y’don’t exactly strike me as the person t’forget senpai’s birthday either ,  so i guess it works out ,  huh ?  you two are really perfect for each other . ‘  he’s almost a little bit jealous .  without lingering on it too much ,  a hand amiably slaps her on the back .  ‘ haa .  if you don’t care for it ,  mind if i have it ? ‘  and with that tongue mischievously sticks out —  just kidding . 

Deserves celebrating.. Well she can’t argue that, not anymore. She was always happy to celebrate everybody else’s, so why shouldn’t hers be celebrated too? Just because it never was in the past doesn’t mean that has to be the case for the future as well.

“I am setting a bad example if I act this way as Master’s first servant, aren’t I?”

Any further thoughts she had were quickly ejected out of her mind once she heard the other proclaim the two were perfect for each other, flustered rambling replacing even the smallest trace of actual words in her mind

“W-WAIT! YOU CAN’T JUST SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT OUT OF NOWHERE! WHAT IF S-SOMEBODY HEARS YOU AND TAKES IT THE WRONG WAY?!”

A small eep interrupts any further avalanche of words, a small reaction to the slap on the back

“Oh.. Wait do you actually know your birthday..? If not we can have a birthday on the same day!”

“Happy birthday? But my birthday is on.. The..”

She thinks about the date

“...Today! Uhm! Thank you!! Very very much!”
