Cross Effects 3.0 - November 16, 2014—April 13, 2015

[Panda]

Adjutor is unable to stop a wry little smile from making itself known on his face as he considers the non-human's declaration.

"In all fairness," Adjutor says, "This place pulls in all kinds. Hell, I might find my own lookalike somewhere here, maybe even an alternate universe version of me. And as for the vampire, I'm pretty sure she's not quite like the vampires from your world. Then again, my own experience with her is rather limited, but this place does take all kinds, so you never really know how vampires from different dimensions may be. Though, to be certain, the vampire you're referring to-"

It is at this point that Adjutor, having never bothered to seal his eyes after the encounter on the rooftop, notices a little something on the fae. A simple spell with a familiar signature. Looked like a tracking spell of some sort, going off what he'd seen before, nothing particularly overt and it wasn't even active. The teen figured that, judging by the power behind the spell, when active it would probably act like a simple beacon of sorts. Adjutor deigned to file that bit of information away for later.

"Regardless, I doubt that Saber is in any actual danger from her companion. Likely quite the opposite, considering that most people don't just take in random people off the street who don't have a place to stay, and most vampires don't refuse a willing donor."

Sakura

Sakura landed in Shirou’s arms, wrapping her arms around him as she fell. She began laughing,  a chuckle at first, but it quickly grew into a crescendo. With tears staining her and has face, she grabbed him in a tight embrace, squeezing herself against him as if she was afraid if she let go, he would disappear once more.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Abigail

The half-Fae girl held up her finger at Archer, shook it and said, "Vanilla is an enhancer when used properly.  Especially in anything that's remotely pastry like.  You always put a dab of vanilla in pancakes, no matter if they have fruit in them or not."

Abby looked at Law and asked, "Did Death look like Brad Pitt?"

"No, thank god. More like... well, a girl. Actually Death was a girl. Rather attractive, if it wasn't for disintegrating all my clothing and trying to give me a handjob while I was driving..."

Law shuddered a little bit. "Just forget I mentioned it. It was rather uncomfortable OK?"

Archer ignored the finger waggle, his own comment on the ravaging of innocent pancakes under vanilla's overwhelming flavor cut short as the other newcomer joined the table, along with Forest. His comments struck a similar tune. "I find it hard to believe as well, but she hasn't killed you yet now has she?" He said to Richard, before beginning to make another batch of his pancakes. They were running out of them at an alarming rate after all. He'd need to corner Law later; and see if he couldn't make a contract with him of some kind.

Law meanwhile poked again at his food, appetite fading at the memory of Death's embrace.

You should just find her again. She's more interesting than anyone else here.

No. I want to figure out what the hell is up with the spirit here first. Besides I have a feeling finding Death after she called us her property wouldn't be too pleasant an experience.

It isn't rape if she yells surprise first, and I enjoy it.

Not funny.

[theunknownhero]

Shirou (HF)

Reunited at last

At long last the young man and woman, who so desperately sought one another have been reunited.

"Sakura..."

I can't believe it after all this time it's really her. I wrap my arms around her, as if to try to not only hold on to what I had lost but to make up for not being able to when we were separated.

"I'm sorry, it took me so long to find you... Rider, Tohsaka, and I we all tried our best to find searching all over the world... just when things looked bleak a portal opened up... and here I am... I can't say I know what's going on, but I glad we're finally together again. Now, that just leaves the question... how do we get back?"

[MissingMandible]

Corporal Mathew Blackburn:

"He sounds like the Astartes." Mathew began.

"They are the...metaphorical sons of the Emperor, who created them. They stand a little over two meters tall, wear these power armors, and wield the best weaponry the Imperium has to offer. A single squad of them can turn the tied of almost any battle." Mathew fanboyed.

[Elf]

Forest

"I generally dislike killing humans.  Unless they're rapists or child molesters, then it's a good pummeling and a snapped neck.  If they're doing anything else unsavory I'll just generally give them wet knickers and a really strong impulse to confess all their sins to the police," Forest said as she sat down at the table.

"I find it hard to believe as well, but she hasn't killed you yet now has she?" Archer said.

Forest raised an eyebrow and said, "Archer has a point.  You wanted to kill me.  I would have been in my rights to kill you in self defense.  Instead I brought you into my kitchen for pancakes."

She grabbed a towel and wiped her wet face off.  "Ugg, that water was so bloody cold.  And yes, Lady Death tried to get Law's rocks off, rotted his pants off and gave him a serious case of, 'My cock and bollocks are so confused . . .'"


Abigail

Abby frowned, looked at Richard with wide eyes and asked, "You mean . . . You've never heard of Law Unto Herself?  Like the vampire vigilante who's ridiculously stubborn and fights for the forces of good all while quipping?"

She cut into her pancakes, looked at Law, and said, "Well, she sounds like a dirty ho and probably is crawling with death STDs.  Don't let her touch your junk. It might rot off."


Saber

Saber blinked as Lancelot entered the apartment.  She walked up to him and asked, "Where have you been?  Are you alright?  I was worried about you, old friend."

She frowned as she could sense that something was amiss with him.  She pointed to the living room and said, "Come, go sit down and I can bring you something to drink."

[SINIB]

Noel

Noel didn’t know how to deal with this. Their worlds were so very different, stuff that seemed to be common knowledge to one was an utterly alien concept to the other. “Huh...” She haltingly responded. “So, is there anything else you want to know?”

[MissingMandible]

Corporal Mathew Blackburn:

"Sorry, sidetracked right there." Blackburn apologized when he saw Noel's confused look.

"Anyways," Mathew continued, "What about this Jube-Jubie-...I'm sorry, how do you pronounce that name again?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Richard silently downed his pancakes, even the sweet delectable taste of this (un)healthy breakfast couldn't ease his mind.

These pancakes are dry...

Listening to what the others had to say, the man stood silent for a while, obviously troubled. Of course, he didn't like vampires, but to him in a way, it wasn't fair to treat one who welcomed him with open arms in such a way, vampire or not. She and the stranger both had a point: she could've easily killed him, yet she did not. Maybe, just maybe, he felt a bit relieved in his heart. Had he met her in the past, maybe he would have turned out differently, of that no one could be sure.

"I... I am sorry. This was just a really terrible misunderstanding. I shouldn't have been such a wanker to you, it was ill of me.", he apologized with a tint of sadness.

Looking at the vampire, he Grabbed onto his scarf and untied it before handing it to her."You... you can use this. It keeps things cozy and... warm.", Richard spoke with a blush, slightly embarassed.

"Of course, you have your towel... but if it's too cold... If you're fine with it of course."

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Forest

She grabbed a towel and wiped her wet face off.  "Ugg, that water was so bloody cold.  And yes, Lady Death tried to get Law's rocks off, rotted his pants off and gave him a serious case of, 'My cock and bollocks are so confused . . .'"


Abigail

Abby frowned, looked at Richard with wide eyes and asked, "You mean . . . You've never heard of Law Unto Herself?  Like the vampire vigilante who's ridiculously stubborn and fights for the forces of good all while quipping?"

She cut into her pancakes, looked at Law, and said, "Well, she sounds like a dirty ho and probably is crawling with death STDs.  Don't let her touch your junk. It might rot off."

"I mean, I'm glad you care bout my junk, I mean... shit..." Law just slipped into silence as Archer listened to the newcomer and soaked up whatever information he could about his host.

"Uh, aren't you overreacting? Like, are you jealous she made my junk react ah, god fuck." Law just stared at his pancakes. He felt like he'd shoved his entire foot and leg into his mouth.

Smoooooooooth.

I AM NOT GOOD WITH THIS SORT OF TOPIC, OKAY?

[Elf]

Forest

Forest handed the Not-Van Hellsing some syrup and said, "Here, you need this for pancakes."

"You... you can use this. It keeps things cozy and... warm. Of course, you have your towel... but if it's too cold... If you're fine with it of course."

The vampire hunter was blushing as he handed her his scarf.  The blond shook her head and said, "You'll need it more than I do, but thank you.  I'm Forest, the scruffy guy babbling about his bits is Law, Abigail is the redhead, and Tall, Dark, Handsome and Asian is Archer."

Abigail

The redhead blushed and said, "I didn't say I cared about your junk just Death STDs would be really bad to have you know! A-and so what if you got a chubby from it.  Its a natural reaction when someone grabs your junk . . ."

She looked away and said, "I don't care about your stuff.  Eat your pancakes."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura buried her face into his chest and continued sobbing uncontrollably, sucking in large amounts of air with each breath. In between gasps she managed to get a few short sentences out, “I’m sorry!” She forced out. “ I didn’t mean to leave一I didn’t want to come here!一I’m sure it’s been hard, I’m just glad you’re ok! I don’t want to ever leave you again!” She looked at his eyes for a moment before she forcefully lowered her head down and kissed him, squeezing ever tighter in her embrace.

[theunknownhero]

Shirou (HF)

I see, of course Sakura didn't choose to leave. But what exactly happened to pull her in to this place? And what exactly is this place? I'm not sure, but there is plenty of time to get answers later. Right, all that matters is the girl I've worked so hard to find for the past few years.

"It's okay, Sakura, I know you didn't choose to leave. And I'm glad to see you're okay after all this time. But, I promised I'd be there protect you, and now we're together I intend to keep that promise."

It's been a while since I've held this girl in my arms, she is soft as she ever was... but this situation, with her on top of me like this... it's hard for me to be excited after finally being with the woman I love after all this time.

"Umm... Sakura... perhaps we can take this reunion else where."

I say these words desperately trying to hide my excitement at the situation.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Taking back his scarf, he tied it  around his nap like a napkin before applying a copious amount of syrup on his pancakes, enough to drown whatever stood on his plate and have a chosen one build a butter ark to save the remaining pancakes.

Stuffing his face with abundant amounts of the sweet food, Richard mumbled, his mouth still full."It ish a pleashure to meetchyou all...". Taking his time, he consumed and devoured the poor pancakes, wails of pancakagony could be heard from his plate as he left not a single survivor.

"About your bits... have you tried to perform a purifying exorcism in order to cleanse them?", he asked the scruffy man with a deadpan tone.

[Elf]

Forest

Despite what Saber liked to call her "Black Mood", Forest chuckled at everyone talking about Law's danglies.

She eyed the scruffy young man and said, "Out Foul Satan, get out of my danglies?"

Then she eyed the would-be-vampire hunter and said, "You know I'm just going to call you Wanna Be Van Helsing until you offer a name."
