FATE/GRAND ORDER

[spirithacker]

Seven Masters, magi of the present day. Seven Servants, heroes of days past...

...is what would normally happen with a Holy Grail War, but this is a different system and things are more complicated than that. The organization of Chaldea employs Masters who summon Servants, but they have more important tasks than fighting against each other: various pieces of the past have been destabilized into Singularities, and without Masters traveling into these Singularities to fix history, human civilization as we know it will cease to exist.

In the Chaldea system, one Master can summon many Servants who will fight alongside each other. Spirits who would never ordinarily work together can find themselves building up a rapport from many battles covering each others' backs. Evil Servants and good Servants can function on the same team for the same goals. Masters will bond with their Servants, trusting their lives and their futures to each other.

Besides the Servants who are summoned to fight and the Masters who travel into the Singularities themselves, Chaldea also employs a small staff. These are the doctors who make sure that Masters are in good condition before they head out, the technicians who make sure the machines are in good repair, the researchers who furiously investigate any weakness their enemies might have, and so on.

And in between saving the world, you can all live together in one building and have a little slice of extremely unusual life.

Instructions
1. Comment with your character. In the subject line, put that character's name, canon, and which role (Master, Servant, Staff, or any) you would like them to fulfill. Though not mandatory, it would be preferred that you give a brief summary of your character as they will (most likely) be AU'd into the setting. (If your character can fill the role of Servant, I suggest you state which class(es) - Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker, or a more uncommon Extra class - they fall into.)
2. Reply to others' comments. Pick your character's role (and the other character's if they list "Any" as their preference).
3. I'm not putting in prompts because it's 2 AM and I don't want to.

Comments

[disinfection]

[They're both wearing gloves, it's okay. She's not looking directly at him but she gives it barely a squeeze to acknowledge she knows.] This is merely professional, you understand.

[curseseparated]

Professional hand holding, of course.

[He does not believe that at all.]

[disinfection]

It's not unheard of in the work of a nurse.

[She coughs.]

[curseseparated]

You'd know better than I would. What are the professional benefits of holding hands?

[disinfection]

It can comfort a patient, for example, reducing their anxiety.

[curseseparated]

That sounds reasonable. I'm feeling more at ease already.

[Even if he's not a patient and Nightingale's probably more anxious than him right now.]

[disinfection]

Of course you are. I'm a nurse, after all.

[...she's feeling better, too.]

[curseseparated]

I don't think I'd be this relaxed with any nurse besides you.

[explain that nurses]

[disinfection]

Are you trying to flatter me, Rama?

[becuse it's working.]

[curseseparated]

Of course not. That implies it isn't true.

[charisma: b rank

smoothness: ex rank]

[disinfection]

[Oh. Oh no.] I wouldn't try to say it wasn't.

[curseseparated]

I'm just trying to tell a woman who's important to me how wonderful she really is.

[and then nightingale passes out from combination sleep deprivation and embarrassment]

[disinfection]

[she's! not at all wonderful!]

Ah... I'm not sure what this is... Some kind of treatment, perhaps.

['Are you flirting with me???' She's just too embarrassed to not fall into medical speak.]

[curseseparated]

Is it effective?

[Rama's not completely fluent in medical speak, but he tries.]

[disinfection]

I believe it is.

[She coughs.]

Ah... this is the treatment called, ah, flirting, yes?

[curseseparated]

It is.

[Now he's a little red... more than usual, that is.]

If the patient is responding favorably, then... Then.

[help he can't flirt with a beautiful woman and keep up the medical speak and stay smooth the whole time]

[disinfection]

Then... I suppose I have no choice but to accept his attention.

[dang it.]

[curseseparated]

It helps when the nurse is responding favorably, as well.

[She's so cute. ...He gives her hand a tiny squeeze.]

[disinfection]

I'm... happy that you're satisfied with someone like me.

[She's about to die of exhaustion and embarrassment but she means it. She's honestly happy.]

[curseseparated]

More than satisfied.

[If she passes out from exhaustion and embarrassment then Rama has accomplished what he set out to do.

...But he'll still be holding her hand until she wakes up. No disappearing acts here.]

[disinfection]

I'm honored to be your comrade and your friend.

[That's big praise coming from her. She... might feel like she could fall asleep right here.]

If I sleep here could you... [Stay here.]

[curseseparated]

I'm not going anywhere. I promise.

[especially if it gets her to actually sleep for once]

[disinfection]

I believe you.

[She let's go of his hand but only to stand up.]

I suppose this part of the barracks will be sufficient for a nap... I should create a bed.

[???]

[curseseparated]

We have some already made that you could use instead...

[not that he doubts that she could make a bed, just that she doesn't have to?]

[disinfection]

Not in this room.

[Nightingale...]
