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

[Umbra of Chaos]

Ann

Death stared down at her steed. "You're being very good in this position. That's commendable but seeing how my entertainment looks like it's going to move I do hope you're prepared to follow."

A hand continued to tug at his hair as her mind pressed down against his and entered his own. A stream of intent, a language of pure meaning filled his head. "I am aware you have a passenger in your soul somewhere. It's an interesting little alteration. We can be introduced later but now I feel you should be rewarded for your services."

Her mind pulled forth a few memories and feelings. It wasn't long before a pure stream of pleasure flooded the teenager's head.

[Knick]

Mia

Mia was hopping around with PARIAH, moving though the city without catching any attention. Then, eventually she spotted man. He was dressed in an odd pure blue outfit and had blond hair. Mia’s eyes focused on him as he entered a large and fancy building.

“Hey PARIAH.” Mia started as the man entered the building and escaped her gaze. “I think I found a new toy. Just make sure it does not break to quickly.” Then she giggled lightly.


Suiren

Suiren frowned as the purple haired thing talked, and a slight jolt of golden light trailed along her arm like lightning. She disliked it more and more the more it talked.

The only one that has pissed her off more is the damn 2nd, and boy she is a bitch.

Suiren let out  tired sigh as that one left, and look at her opponent. “Nice words buddy, I was about to make her a smear on the wall.” She smiled, “And as for fighting, well, I will wait for you to get fixed up first. Only a good fight is worth having. If we run into each other again we can have our rematch.”

She then turned to the white haired man about to say something. Until he noticed him running past her at her opponent. She just stood there blankly in the direction he once was, blinking.

"Wah?"

[Arch-Magos Winter]

"I swear to god if you all don't stop talking about my dick I'll... do something I'll regret. And why are you so concerned about it working right Abby? I... uh, I mean I..." Law promptly stuffed his foot in his mouth for a second time in a row. "I uh mean, it wouldn't be because of the broomride that it wouldn't be working so uh, yeah I.."

Just shut up.

Shutting up now.

[Elf]

Abigail

The redhead felt heat flood her cheeks at Law's words and squeaked for a moment before she found her voice.  She stammered, "You're . . . just . . . NO!

Then she heard Forest start to laugh at this, a musical sound that seemed to fill the room.  Abigail pouted, folded her arms across her chest, and slumped in her seat.  "That's not funny."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Richard sighed with a smile as the vampire held her hand to him.
"We've been trough this already, dear...", he spoke before holdinf her hand and shaking it vigurously.

"But you know, this is rather troublesome. I expected a murderous manslaying vampire who would controll the police force from the shadows, but here I am holding hands with what appears to be the most peaceful vampire I've got to meet in my career... And now I am eating pancakes and having a rather pleasant time to be frank. If this isn't fate trying to punk me, I don't know what it is."

With that, he kept munching on his pancakes, smiling happily as the others carried on their conversation.

Suddenly, Abigail spoke, speaking of some secret technique known to man as one firsted monkey style. Blushing, Richard coughed as he tried to keep his composure.

"W-why, a lady shouldn't speak of such things so casually! Of course I- well... um, maybe sometimes... nono, I...", the man stuttered and mumbled incoherently as his blush became redder and redder.

"Oh jeez, and why do you care about this anyway!? It's not like you've never done or anything... it's completely fine they say."

With that, Richard entered in a state of pouting and kept eating his pancakes in a shy silence.

Of course, once witnessing Law's and Abigail's reactions, he couldn't help but fail to hold back his laughter, gradually growing until the man was close to falling from his seat.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider heard Shirou's question, and prepared to reply. But, before she could, Sakura responded, begging Shirou not to fight, telling him to trust her and Faust to protect her.

Sakura was, of course, entirely right. Shirou could not do anything to protect her that she or Faust could not do. In fact, he would most likely just get in the way. There was no circumstance she could imagine in which Shirou putting himself in danger could be necessary to protect Sakura, at least as long as she, Vanguard or Faust were around.

However, just as Rider was about to give her view, Faust walked up to her and spoke.

“It’s not a good idea to get in the middle of this. I don’t know about your Sakura, but the one right here has some issues, it’s a bad idea to try to butt in right now”, he said.

True, thought Rider. It would be better to leave this to them for now. I can talk to Shirou later.

Unfortunately, though, Shirou seemed to overhear Faust's words, and addressed him.

"Hey you, I'm not quite sure what you're trying to tell Rider, but Sakura is Sakura. It doesn't matter what world she's in, she'll always be the sweet girl who helps me when I need, that much I'm certain of", he said.

Rider smiled.

Hmm, I think I need to clear things up here.

"I've never met you before, but I have lived with an alternate version of you and Sakura for 30 years. I know you both very well, but Sakura's life diverged from that of the one I lived with when she got sent here, so there may be some differences, even if she is the same, sweet girl that we both know. That is what Faust was referring to."

[Elf]

Forest

Forest returned the hand shake and replied, "I was a little preoccupied with the whole you trying to Van Helsing me, I'm sorry."

Then she chuckled and said, "I'm an odd duck, what can I say?  No, I work with the local bobbies as for peaceful . . .  well, I'm a Celt.  My first response is to punch first when it comes to the Forces of Evil."

She started to laugh at the frank conversation about Law's junk and combined with Abby's squeak and "NO!" the vampire was laughing pretty hard.  She felt lighter as the laughs turned into giggles and she shook her head.  "Oh wow, this conversation is just bloody amazing."

[Panda]

"Keeping up with them won't be a problem," Adjutor states, deciding to appreciate the current situation as much as he can. Well, it's more Xarrest appreciating it, but the fact remains that the situation was appreciated, "If you'll allow me to prepare myself properly."

Oh come on, you have to admit that there are worse positions to be in.

...Sell out.

Correction. Hedonist.

Then message flooded his mind, a link that carried pure meaning from the woman's mind to Adjutor's own. The very experience was almost...uplifting in ways that could only be matched by the moment when a new Concept was learned.

And then the moment was ended as sheer pleasure flooded the teen's mind, catching him completely off guard for a long moment before mental barriers developed through years of nigh-religious training came up. The product of extreme levels of self-discipline, Adjutor did his best to steel himself against the oncoming tide as he realized that his body was being much more receptive to the pleasure than his mind.

These barriers lasted for all of a few seconds before the unending pleasure broke through, flooding through the teen's mind and body as he felt a sort of release he hadn't felt since a rather embarrassing dream about a week ago. He felt himself throb once, then twice as that hated substance burst out, soiling the borrowed clothing. Hated, of course, simply because of the annoyance it was to clean the strange substance out of his underwear.

Adjutor comes back into awareness to realize that the Armogarians anchored themselves into the ground, forming solid black pillars around his arms to keep him at least somewhat upright as he tried to collect himself, his face crimson with embarrassment. The teen was suddenly quite thankful that the two in front of him were in the midst of a fight and especially that neither of them had reason to look over in his direction.

...That was...

Amazing...

And very disturbing. She didn't seem to put any effort into that at all, and yet...

She did warn us, I suppose.

Telling us we were going to be rewarded could have meant any number of things!

"Curious ability," Adjutor remarks out loud, "This may affect my ability to keep up with them for a few minutes, but I should recover soon enough."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Ann

A wolfish grin covered Ann's face as the boy's face turned a dark shade of red. She did give the black metal that had flowed out to give him support a cursory glance but returned her attention to the flushed teen under her. "Perhaps I'll amuse myself with you instead of those two. I'm not very interested in combat."

Her head lowered and she gently nibbled on one of his ears before asking, "Do you want another dose?" Of course, choice was such a difficult thing with her, and pushing people into corners was something she was very good at. The Rot pulsed and her steed's clothing quickly began to fray and fall apart until there was nothing left. In the span of seconds his hoodie and undershirt were gone and his jeans dissolved leaving nothing but his soiled underwear in plain view.

[Panda]

"Fair enough," Adjutor says, the Armogarians retracting back into his arm as he decides that he should be able to support himself.

Then the strange sensation of her nibbling on his ear forces a light groan from the teen before he quickly stifles it. The question that followed caused the blush to flare just a bit as Adjutor considered it for a moment. However, something else forced his hand. A cool breeze registers on his back as he realizing that his clothes are somehow rotting away, soon leaving him almost completely bare except for the soiled underwear.

And they were still right in front of the police station, a fact that forces a despaired groan out of the teenager.

...Can this get any worse? Is it possible?

Why would you ask that?!

"...Would you stop disintegrating my clothes if I agreed?" Adjutor asks tentatively.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Ann

"I don't think that I need to take any more clothes from you. We can start something else now." She kept a firm hand on her victim as she stood up. Then she nonchalantly flipped him onto his back and straddled his waist.

Her ocean blue eyes were filled with mirth as she looked down at him. Then she leaned down and gave him a light kiss on the lips.

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura smiled when Shirou rose up to defend her. Rider and Caster were right of course, she was extremely different from Rider’s Sakura, the fact that that Sakura had children was a huge difference. She ran around Shirou and embraced him from behind, she leaned lazily on his back. “You obviously don’t know where we are, and what being in the Nexus entails. But for now, let’s get back home, ok? We can catch up once we get there.” She said in a sultry whisper, slowly rubbing herself along his back.

[Panda]

Adjutor, on the other hand, is frowning despite the blush.

...Okay, no. Not like this. We are not going to end up being raped on the street by some random stranger in broad daylight.

Adjutor doesn't respond to the kiss, instead he cordoning off some of his mana, preparing to blast her off with an Unfocusing.

"Are you certain we couldn't move this elsewhere?" Adjutor asks, keeping the Unfocusing at the ready, just in case.

[theunknownhero]

Shirou (HF)

Thirty years... To think Sakura and I could have such a happy life together for that long. I have no idea what the future holds, but a quiet life with Sakura doesn't sound bad at all.

"Ah, I see Rider, so you're from the future, though a different future than we are from as your Sakura was never a part of this place."

It's after I say these words that Sakura embraces me from behind and tells me that I have no idea where this place is. Well, she's right about that, I only came to this place to find her, without thinking about where here actually is. She something about this place being the Nexus. ... it's at this moment I realize she's playfully rubbing against my back. Considering it's been so long since we've seen each I appreciate her enthusiasm.

"Yes, Sakura lets get moving. The faster we can get to safety, the sooner we can... catch up."

[MissingMandible]

Corporal Mathew Blackburn

"An old cat-man thing that wears an eyepatch..." Mathew said slowly.

He had to admit, this was something he couldn't quite wrap his mind around. Cat's were somewhat of a rarity, though common enough that a commoner like him has seen a few in his lifetime. Such soft fur...

However, based off of Noel's description, all Mathew could imagine is some grotesque amalgamation between that calico-pattern hairball with a person. Somehow, he felt like he committed a minor heresy in the attempt.

"How human is Jubei, exactly?" He asked, wanting to form a better mental picture.
