Cross Effects- The RP

(1/377) > >>

Elf:
(All OCC discussion goes on the Discussion Page.  This is the actual RP.)

Lancer was doing pretty well, all things considering.  While that castle had been burning around him, he was dying with satisfaction.  Rin was safe and that bastard Kotomine had died at his hands.  Vengeance for Bazett was served and even though he didn't get the fight he wanted because Archer was an asshole, he had saved Rin.

So the castle had been burning around him and he was dying, but that was all well and good.

Then he had woke up here, corporeal as he remembered the real Hound of Ulster in life.  He was now alive and well, with everything that entailed.  Just he didn't wake up in Fuyuki, in fact this place was like nothing he had seen.

There were men who turned into wolves.  People who were dead who still walked around and drank blood.  Monsters.  Magic and the like.   Of course a pack of werewolves had attacked him when he'd been looking for shelter. 

While defending himself, and having a blast doing so, someone had come across the commotion, and wonder of wonders, thought she could help.

Like that Emiya kid, but with far nicer legs, fair face, and arse.   Sure, she was lacking a bit in the bosom, he liked his lasses with curves for the most part, but she was one of those personalities that was fun to tease.  And she could fight. 

Then he found out she was a vampire, her name was Forest, and she filled him in on this world.  Then she gave him a place to stay with one strict rule: no smoking inside.   He was sort of trying to figure out how to get into her knickers - she was pretty and repressed - and she was a Celt.  Maybe a few generations after him, but she was kin. 

So he had someone he could speak his native tongue with, that he may roll into bed with, and there were monsters to fight.

And tonight, he was off to find what sort of trouble he could get into.

Alice:
Even the Dark Side of the Moon seemed friendlier than this place. To all sides were the ominous walls of countless towering buildings, a testament both to humanity's attempt to defy the heavens and also to make a place for themselves in an increasingly crowded world. But despite this sprawling expanse, the feeling of claustrophobia still remains familiar, and ever present. The feeling of foreboding that permeated the place didn't help much either.

No more could that be said of than in a certain alleyway, somewhere hidden in the urban labyrinth that was the City. And in this alleyway stands a teenage girl, a confused look on her face.

Even if she felt like someone could potentially argue that the Sakura Labyrinth was potentially more dangerous, taking in her surroundings, Hakuno felt as if she preferred it more than wherever she was now. It was more colorful at least. Plus at least there she hadn't been alone and defenseless.

She'd stood there for a good ten minutes in the blind hope that she was still in the Moon Cell, hoping to hear anything from the Student Council that'd guide her back to the school. Nothing. It wasn't just feeling separated from them either- some part of her knew that she could no longer reach them. She wasn't 100 percent sure yet, but one thing seemed to be clear- she wasn't in the Moon Cell anymore.

She looked down at the Command Seal on her hand. She still felt something from it- her connection to Archer was still in place, and she couldn't help but wonder if he was around somewhere. Knowing him, he was likely frantically looking for her right now. She took a look around at her surroundings again. While it was best to wait there so it was easier for Archer to find her, she doubted that this was the safest place to stay.

Hakuno's hands balled themselves into fists, her eyes blazing with determination as she marched herself down the foreboding alley, hoping that she could find Archer again, or, if nothing else at least, some form of answers or safety.

lantzblades:
Despite the foreboding feeling she got from the city the Ex servant noted the winds were warm, had she anymore tears she might have cried for the memories the warm night stirred in her but sadly the curse had robbed her of everything except the frown she wore and her sword and armor.

"Arturia Pendragon, yes I must remember  my dearest master is a master no longer, and I once again just a lonely king. Shirou, thank you for your tears, as the king of knights I vow to fulfill your wishes since that woman took your purpose" the brief statement honest but more of a prayer.

striding into the night in a black tracksuit and wool took she would see what this city had to offer.

Cherry Lover:
I'm going to kill that idiot, thought Rider as she heard the werewolves howling outside the hotel they were staying in.

"Aunty Rider?", came a frightened-sounding voice from the bed beside her chair.

Actually, I think Sakura will do it for me....

Whilst Kiyoshi was a not by any means an ordinary boy, he was still a child lost in a strange town without the mother who had always sheltered and protected him from all the bad things life had to offer. It was only natural he would be frightened.

"Kiyo, we'll get back home, I promise", she said, leaning over to give the boy a reassuring hug as she noticed barely-suppressed tears in his eyes.

"Goodnight, Aunty Rider. Goodnight, Kuro", he said to his mother's two familiars, giving his pet shadow a little stroke as he did so, the feeling of his mother's magic comforting him.

"Night, Kiyoshi", Rider said, whilst the little shadow lying beside him acknowledged him with a slight wave before settling down in an imitation of its master, causing Kiyoshi to smile gently.

As Kiyoshi fell off to a fitful sleep, Rider considered their situation, and it didn't seem good at all. They were stuck in a dangerous town with no money and, worse, without Sakura around to provide her with prana she would soon disappear if she didn't find alternate sources. Although, it did at least seem that she wasn't suffering the usual effects of lacking an anchor to the world.

At least they had managed to find somewhere to sleep. She had spent much of the afternoon and evening desperately searching for somewhere to stay, particularly after she had been warned of the dangers that lurked around the town after dark. Unfortunately, though, whilst she was pretty well-off, she hadn't carried physical money as a matter of course for years, and her electronic payment methods were of course useless. If only Rin had been sucked-in with them, since she still stubbornly insisted on paying for everything with cash. Mainly because she couldn't for the life of her work out how to use any of the more modern contactless payment devices. Eventually, though, she managed to strike a deal with a hotel manager to provide them with a room for free and food for Kiyoshi in return for Rider providing protection against any attacks from supernatural elements. Although she did have a suspicion that the manager may have just been using that as an excuse to help out a couple of people who were stuck in a bad situation.

But, even with a place to stay, this world was fraught with danger, especially for Kiyoshi. Whilst he could defend himself, he was still an inexperienced kid and, worse, one who had a tendancy to seek out trouble. In a world like this, that could easily get him killed. And, if that happened, Sakura would be utterly distraught, even more so than she would be if she lost Shirou or her sister. Worse still, without Sakura to supply her with prana she was much weakened, and could even disappear altogether. In this state she could barely defend Kiyoshi, let alone the hotel, and she would rather not have to find another place to stay if she could help it, not to mention that Kiyoshi would be very upset with her if she left the people here to their fate. Plus, the man had been kind to them, and she would prefer to reciprocate that kindness.

So, she would have to find a source of prana. She could, of course, contract with Kiyoshi, but that would put him in potential danger, plus he didn't have all that much prana anyway, and was using what he did have to sustain Kuro in the absense of his mother. Right now the little shadow was a big comfort to him and, besides, it provided a potential link to his mother and, therefore, a possible route home. Or, at least, a potential method to reunite Sakura with her little darling. So, she couldn't risk drawing on him and, therefore, she would need an alternate source of prana to keep the boy safe until such a time as a route home could be found.

And, unfortunately, the only way to do that was to drain prana from people in the vicinity. She could activate her bloodfort, but that would take some time, and in any case it risked drawing attention to her. So, for now she would just feed on any unfortunate person she came across, preferably non-fatally. Leaving the sleeping Kiyoshi in the hotel room, she excused herself and went out into the big city, looking for suitable prey. Whilst she could drink from anyone, she would prefer someone she could have a bit of fun with during the act. And, of course, they needed to be alone and isolated. She couldn't risk being caught, that would expose Kiyoshi to danger.

Fortunately for her, she didn't have to travel far. from her vantage point on a rooftop, she spied a young brown-haired schoolgirl standing and looking around aimlessly seemingly just as lost as they had been. Rider hesitated a moment, but ultimately her desire to protect her master over-rode her concern for the girl. Besides, she was very attractive, and seemed to have some magical potential, seemingly untapped. Rider would enjoy drinking from her....

However, she waited in her vantage point as the girl looked down at her hand before marching off in a determined manner, right past Rider's hiding place. As the girl came past, Rider pounced, jumping off the building and aiming to land on top of her.

lantzblades:
Although her vow had just been reaffirmed the king of knights would find it tested sooner than she had expected. The figure who had dived off the building was mostly unidentifiable to Alter save for the fact that it was a woman. It didn't matter which gender was the attacker to her but information was information after all. Snatching the lid of a nearby trash can Alter tossed it hard enough to decapitate the attacker. Normally Alter would have held back but between the utter mandanity of her chosen ranged weapon and the speed of the attacker she judged that it wouldn't die from such an attack.

"find your meal elsewhere monster, preferably in hell!" she declared as the lid flew toward it's target.
