Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) The RP
YOLF:
Fate Averruncus
--- Quote from: Mooncake on May 26, 2014, 07:08:58 PM ---"I am of the understanding that you are in need of funding and supplies, Homunculus. Tell me, why should I give them to you?"
The Golden King paused, his sharp, crimson eyes noting the happenings of what occurred on the city streets.
"Convince me that your cause is important enough to warrant such a thing."
--- End quote ---
Fate did not let the way he was adressed bother him. He had predicted to hear such straightforward self-importance from the CEO of Golden Rule. Or more accurately, he had grown to expect it after just the few interactions they had had until that point. Regardless, that stance was in the King Of Heroes's full right. It was not arrogance, but fully founded awareness of his own supremacy.
He would know, having bore witness to the massive duel between Gilgamesh and Karna.
"I require your aid to develop the technology that will give my men the edge they need to stand against the supernatural denizens of this city. Not as a bother or a damage control net, but a force capable of imposing order and balance on the run-down strenches of this city." Fate explained.
Lightly tapping his fingers on his desk once, the mage continued.
"I understand that there are those in Nexus City foolish enough to incur your displeasure. Inane trash that does not know its place, scum that dares make claims of this city as their own. Individuals like Deacon Frost arrogantly extend their control over the underworld, and disturb the status that should exist according to your will. Their unworthiness stains your domain, and opposes the stability I desire for this city and its citizens."
Fate paused for only a moment at this time, long enough to allow his point to be considered, but not so long that it would push the king's patience.
"If you answered my request, I would be pleased to begin dealing with this issue, and more than willing to begin an advantaged permanent partnership with Golden Rule. This would be to the benefit of the both of us, and eliminate any need to deign yourself to punish the troublesome elements I mentioned." he said.
Fate concluded his speech by asking for Gilgamesh's confirmation.
"Would this arrangement, details pending, be to your liking?"
Elf:
"What... what happened to me?"
Ash mentally flinched but kept her composure. Her mind was racing, part trying to figure out what to do here and What the bloody fuck was I thinking?
She had turned someone. She didn't have the strict anti-siring stance her mentor had, but it wasn't something she was itching to go out and do. She wasn't one of those whiny, eternally lonely types who could only fill a void within themselves by making other vampires. Ash could find companionship whenever she wanted, and had those she readily considered family.
As a vampire, she was very content with her existence.
Until some wanker she had her eye on to eat had decided to stab an innocent girl just because he could. Thing of it was, the girl didn't want to die. The child wanted revenge and to make sure what happened to her didn't happen to others. Plus Ash had been after the wanker who stabbed her, so she felt responsible.
Without knowing first aid, again, Fore's schtick, Ash did the one thing she could think of: blood transfusion into a vampire.
Just now she had a fledgling who didn't know shit from a shingle, and Ash wasn't the most patient person in Nexus City.
The auburn-haired vampire clasped her hands together and answered, "You're at my flat, you're a vampire now, and I'm your Sire. Also, those voices in your head are quite normal. Its your telepathy starting to go to work."
******
Forest blinked as the spell obscuring the girl's face lifted, leaving a rather young girl looking at them. Said young girl went to her knees, in tears, and begged them not to kill her.
She's just a child, she thought, realizing that someone had given her all of those nifty skills and probably spun some story to make her more compliant. Sodding wankers.
Automatically, Forest knelt down beside the girl and started to stroke her hair. "Hush poppet, don't worry, no one's going to kill you. Especially if you stop trying to kill them."
"Sorry about the spaghetti," the fairly good looking man who had the sense to put the bombs in the trash, even though it had covered pretty much all of them with it, "The name's Henry."
Forest sighed, shook her head, and said, "It could have been worse. I'm Forest."

"Good evening. To whom do I owe the pleasure?"
She had some accent he hadn't quite heard before; it sounded light and pleasant. It was a sweet voice but eager. She's polite but forward, Gabriel noticed with a smile before bowing his head.
He replied, "I am Gabriel Umbra, since I have given you the pleasure of my name, would you be so kind to return the favor?"
Kurogami:
"Well, while we wait for Jojo over there to wake up, I am sure you have some questions you would like answered."
Minato takes a sip of his tea.
"I would be happy to answer a few questions while we wait."

She turned her head, hearing the voice of the woman who turned. She vaguely recalled her face. So it was not a dream...
'You are not joking right? It sounds like stuff from movies." she replied, inclined to disbelieve the woman, but not being sure it was all dream. She reached for the place where she was stabbed, just to confirm it "I remember I was stabbed. There is no wound anymore..." Now less skeptical, she stood up scratching her and asked:
"Then, does it mean I really have to drink blood and live without sunlight?"

--- Quote ---"All right then, Tokiomi, Jojo;"
Minato pulled another traesto gem out of his inventory.
"You may feel somewhat disoriented for a few minutes, spacial transference tends to do that the first time; Ah by the way Jojo my name is Arisato Minato."
Minato held the jewel in the air, the last thing the other two heard before the pale green light took them away was,
"I'll have tea ready when you recover."
He was telling the truth, when they recovered five minutes later in the lobby of a somewhat old western style dorm, he was seated nearby with freshly steeped tea waiting for them both.

This was a freaky experience. The boy called Minato reached for something resembling a gem, and poof, JoJo reassembled somewhere else. The tea was ready.
"Oh boy, that was hell of a trip. Is it similar to what Professor Walentynowicz can do? He can manipulate dimensions to an extent through his Stand" he noted.

‘It is a trick? Would he really answer my questions? Or is he baiting me.’ Tokiomi contemplated this for a moment, ‘Might as well ask, with what he seems to be capable of if he wanted me dead I don’t have a chance anyway.’
“Hmm, I am rather curious what you did to take us here. It seemed like gemcraft but the amount of energy for spatial displacement of that level would incredibly large.” Tokiomi took another sip of his tea and waited for Minato to answer.

Looking over he saw Jojo lift himself off the ground. "Seems our friend has also woken up."
