Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) The RP

[Brahmastra]

"You insult me, Henry. No widow true to his word would get flustered by a mere child. However, if you insist, then I have no choice but to obey", following the vampire whose looks too betrayed his age.

[Puck-Chan]

"Not my aim, sir," Henry replied to the demi-god, "I only wish to preserve her modesty. Though I apologize if you took offense to it."

He bowed down his head at Karna.

[YOLF]

Uchiten

Uchiten smiled in a simultaneously sweet and wicked way at Grigori as both took to the skies. Leading the way in the direction of the dog eat dog barrens of No Man's Land, the evil spirit proceeded to explain the basis of the plan that had been forming within his mind and was gaining a firm shape with his further calculation.

The dark and unlikely pair ventured forth as they schemed, and sought a suitable location for their lair.

[Elf]

Forest sighed as she was left alone with the young woman.  Karna was right, so that left her alone to take care of the young girl.  She sighed as she went over to the young girl and shook her head.

Despite her flippant words about deprograming being out of her skill set, theoretically she could "erase" the girl's programing.  Even though that meant she would be doing programing of her own, and that would make her just as bad as the lot who programmed her in the first place.  Just because she could, didn't mean that she should.

She knelt beside the girl and began to take her armor off, giving a little mental suggestion.

Please stay asleep, poppet.

******

Gabriel groaned as he was engulfed by warm, tight, wet heat.  Velvety walls enclosed around him and started to move up and down his engorged length.  His hips moved, thrusting deeper into her, delighting in the angle and the warmth of the water around them.

[Alice]

Wynn smirked as she shook Thomas Hale's hand and said, "A pleasure to meet you."

He responded with a nod of acknowledgement.

She looked back at the compound with the mechanical bird perched upon the rooftop.  She said, "Not having a title is a very freeing thing.  Do not wish it upon yourself to have you.  Responsibility forced upon you by another is a very confining thing."

He replied with a faint smirk. "I will not argue with that. I have little desire for such a thing, nor the responsibility it entails. Particularly where humans are concerned." He tilted his head. "Am I correct in saying that you yourself are not human? Something about you... It is somewhat difficult to explain, but in spite of your human appearance, something about you suggests that you are not."

[Brahmastra]

"Not my aim, sir," Henry replied to the demi-god, "I only wish to preserve her modesty. Though I apologize if you took offense to it."

He bowed down his head at Karna.

"Raise your head, Henry, you have done nothing worth apologizing for. Though I believe that you would be quite surprised what was called modesty in my time. For millenia after my time, all women were "topless", as they say in modern terms."

Looking out of a window into the city of night lights, Karna continued rambling about the past.

"It is a shame that the world has truly descended into the Kali Yuga, having lost so much tradition and history. But yet it conveys a flawed beauty that the previous ages could not convey. Do you not think so too, Henry? You have lived a long enough time to witness much of the world's beauty."

Gabriel groaned as he was engulfed by warm, tight, wet heat.  Velvety walls enclosed around him and started to move up and down his engorged length.  His hips moved, thrusting deeper into her, delighting in the angle and the warmth of the water around them.

Moans rang out in the echoing bathroom as La Folia began to pick up speed, dropping herself onto Gabriel's length at a slowly increasing speed, desperate for him to fill her more, to reach her peak before she exhausted herself. The overwhelming warmth of the bathwater was quickly bearing down on her endurance and she was not even close to done yet.

[Puck-Chan]

"Raise your head, Henry, you have done nothing worth apologizing for. Though I believe that you would be quite surprised what was called modesty in my time. For millenia after my time, all women were "topless", as they say in modern terms."

"Indeed I would have," he acknowledged hesitantly, "But I never had the pleasure to see any topless women when I went through the country."

It would have made a very awkward journey for Henry back in those days. But then again, most of his time crossing through Asia and then into Europe were awkward in the first place. If not just nerve-wracking with the number of people that have been in hot pursuit after him.

"It is a shame that the world has truly descended into the Kali Yuga, having lost so much tradition and history. But yet it conveys a flawed beauty that the previous ages could not convey. Do you not think so too, Henry? You have lived a long enough time to witness much of the world's beauty."

He only responded with a silent grimace and also looked out of the window as well. The city of lights greeted his sight while also glazing over the surface of his glasses. Henry looked somber as he continued to stare at the world outside of compound's walls. Bits of history and memory flashed through his head as he finally looked back at the demi-god.

"Nothing much has changed. The world will only continue forward on the efforts of the new generation as it has always done," he finally began, "There's nothing to admire about it. It is what it is."

[Elf]

 "Am I correct in saying that you yourself are not human? Something about you... It is somewhat difficult to explain, but in spite of your human appearance, something about you suggests that you are not."

Wynn smiled at this and tilted her head so Tom could see her clearly pointed ears.  She replied, "I could say the same thing about you, Mister Hale.  You seem very . . . catlike if it where."

******

Gabriel watched La Folia's flushed face as she continued to ride him, her core clinching around him as the water lapped at him as well.  The combined feeling was making his head spin, and he began to glow.  He leaned back so he could slide a hand between the two of them, his thumb aiming towards the apex of her folds.

[Brahmastra]

"Nothing much has changed. The world will only continue forward on the efforts of the new generation as it has always done," he finally began, "There's nothing to admire about it. It is what it is."

"That is where you are completely wrong, Henry. Everything, no matter how wrong or weird it is to you, is equally beautiful. Even if the world is no longer the beautiful paradise it was long before even my time, it is still filled with the flawed beauty of all humans. Though it may be heresy towards my father to say so, the radiant sun of humanity shall remain ever beautiful so long as even a single man draws breath."

A gentle smile cradling the pale-headed man's lips, he continued.

"So while you are correct that little has changed, saying there's nothing to admire is a grotesque lie, Henry."

Gabriel watched La Folia's flushed face as she continued to ride him, her core clinching around him as the water lapped at him as well.  The combined feeling was making his head spin, and he began to glow.  He leaned back so he could slide a hand between the two of them, his thumb aiming towards the apex of her folds.

The sounds La Folia emitted only increased in volume as Gabriel pressed his assault on her hardened nub. Her tight sheath grasped him like a vice as her speed picked up, her heavy breasts carrying a subtle jiggle to them as she accepted his length into her.

[Daiki]

Well, I don't need to do my job during daylight, so being nocturnal does not bother me. Neither this blood drinking stuff once I get hang of how to do it on my own

"That's a good attitude to adopt, yeah. All that's left is to decide what to do with your nonlife."

You are not in hurry of getting disposed yourself

He laughed.

"Think of me as a psychotic, self-indulgent asshole if you want. Most people would probably agree with such description. With two/three variants, I guess."

The girl seemed like a good person if a bit cheeky. At this point, she was still a mere acquaintance so, he refrained from unfolding his life to her. His eyes fell on the bar and he grinned.

"Oh well, time's running and it appears your sire didn't feel like going on a rampage. Wanna check on her?"

[Puck-Chan]

Henry snorted at Karna's reply. Demi-God he may be, but this false vampire did not agree.

"Then it looks like I am a grotesque liar then, Sir Karna," he spoke with a bitter smile of his own, "I fail to see anything beautiful of humanity anymore. After living this long, I just see it as a mere cycle that just never ends."

[Alice]

Tom

Wynn smiled at this and tilted her head so Tom could see her clearly pointed ears.

 
So, he was correct. His eyes softened a bit, but he remained vigilant. Quite possibly, Wynn was what they called a fae. He had fairy type creatures in his world, but not quite as unpredictable or even hostile as the Fair Folk. Tossing caution to the wind could very well lead to his downfall.

She replied, "I could say the same thing about you, Mister Hale.  You seem very . . . catlike if it where."

His eyes widened. Was it that obvious? Still, there was no indication that she knew what he was in full. Perhaps he was still safe. He quickly hid his shock before replying.

"You would be correct. I am not human, and you are correct in assuming that my true nature is most certainly feline. However... I am afraid that this is all I can disclose. I am perhaps safer in this place than I was in my home dimension if others learn the nature of my true form, but I maintain caution in this respect. The full details could, after all, be of great use to potential enemies, and this is a risk I do not wish to take."

Hakuno

Hakuno's eyes darted from the source of the voices above her to the way down the stairs. From the sounds of things, while it wasn't for certain, the two conversing above might very well kill her before they'd even think of helping her. The man at least didn't seem fond of humans after all, and the woman seemed to regard those seeking aid with some contempt. So she waited, waiting for the perfect time to sneak away to safety...

[Brahmastra]

"Your own weak will is all that is to be blamed then. I have observed mankind in my absence from my father's seat in heaven since before your most distant ancestors drew breath. Mankind must be believed in now more than ever, since it stands alone against all of the threats it once faced with the Gods at their back. That heroic stand and faithful struggle is part of what makes mankind so intriguing."

"The world I knew was never kind to me, Henry, and no doubt it was equally horrible to you. Yet, the little dots of hope I was given, a friend, my wife, my children, made bearing that great burden more than worth it, and when I passed away at the arrows of my dear brother, it was without regret in my heart."

Placing a gentle hand on his shoulder, Karna continued.

"If you cannot see all that is wonderful for all that you perceive as bad, or wrong, or injust, then you need to simply open the eyes that have been closed all this time."

Karna felt as if he was once again teaching the sons and daughters he loved so dearly. This was a man who needed guidance, and Karna would be happy to lend it to him.

[MissingMandible]

Sitting down, one knee pressed close to his shoulder as he leaned on it, Caules began to introduce himself.

"Erm, Caules. Caules Forvedge. If you didn't catch it already while I was shouting, my sister's name is Fiore, in case you stumble into her or have met someone by that name."

Nodding, the Knight spoke again, "I'd tell you my name, but I honestly can't remember it"

He proceeded to poke the fire, moving the logs around. This Caules is reminding him of when Sieglinde was looking for her father. It didn't turn out happily. 'If only I had actively tried to help them, instead of focusing on my own journey...'

The Chosen Undead would not let that happen again. It would not be enough to atone himself, but it would be a good way to start.

"As I said before, Caules, she could have arrived in any part of this city," he then pulled out a slightly tattered map from a pouch on his waist, "But, you know what? I'll help you find her. You remind me too much of a friend I once had."

[Brahmastra]

"Thank you so much, um, s-Sir Knight?", Caules being entirely unsure as to how to refer to the armored man.

"Hey, can I have a look at that map?"
