Cross Effects 3.0 - April 13, 2015—June 23, 2016

[Kat]

Noriko

"So, where are you taking me?" she asked. Hopefully stores here had what she wanted. Buying foodstuff and drinks was a priority before looking for materials she needed for magic and research.

[Panda]

Seras

"It's this odd little place called 'The Emporium of Man'," Seras explained, "Of all the names they could've thought up, I honestly don't understand this one. That aside, they've got pretty much everything you could need."


The bus ride had been boring, the walk to the store itself even more so, but they were finally at the store. Seras didn't bother to give the storefront a hard look, simply bringing herself and Noriko inside, following the woman around as she had little better to do at this point.

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura looked around for a bit, searching for her familar, before pointing off into the distance. “He’s over there, why?” She asked Rin with a curious expression.

[YOLF]

Tar

Henry paused in his unsteady steps and looked up, recognizing the voice of the young woman at the station who was asking about Saber before. On top of a tree.

"More importantly, the hell are you doing -," he began, before a wave of pain coursed through him, when his hold on his arm slipped just a little. "Ugh..."

That was when Noel caught him, apologetic, and seemingly began to cast something. His first instinct was to slink away and get into cover, but he managed to hold it back as he realized whatever she was doing was relieving the pressure on his broken limb. The permeating heavy sting that was spreading through his arm at least appeared to be lessening.

"Thanks," he mumbled, recognizing healing for what it was, despite its conspicuous lack of mention on Noel's file. Only one of the many things that were missing there, it seemed. With a sigh, he turned his head back to the person who had called for him. "Yeah, I'm not doing so good."

[SINIB]

Noel Vermillion

Noel continued to hold her hands over him, allowing his arm to continue to soak up the healing light. As she looked up, her concentration was nearly broken. There was a woman who looked suspiciously similar to Saber who apparently knew Henry.

“Who are you--you’re not Saber!” She exclaimed in surprise. “How’d you get here, I don’t recognize you on the force!”

[Elf]

Rin

"I'm just making sure he's not causing a commotion," Rin said, "Because he's big and literally just armor."

With a grin she swept a red leather duster off the rack and tried it on.  She turned back to her sister and made a slight pose.


Saber

Saber glared at Mata one last time before climbing out of the sewer.  She didn't remove her mask immediately; she was afraid that her stench would sort of knock her over.  She eased Lancelot out and shoved loose strands of her hair from her face.

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura smiled and gave Rin a hearty thumbs up. “It looks great on you! It’s definitely a keeper.” Sakura said slightly awkwardly, unsure of quite how to act in this situation.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin chuckled and said, "It's not too silly?  I feel sort of cool when I wear mine at home."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura shook her head vigorously in response. “No, you look great! You look like the coolest!”

[Elf]

Rin

Rin chuckled and said, "It's not overly warm, but it does look rather neat.  It would be good for spring, I think."

She shrugged off the coat and put it in the basket.  She muttered, "Now I'm still confused why I wear a 4 in one brand and a two in another.  Americans."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura shrugged, looking through the racks. She found a nice coat with flower prints all over it and pulled it off, trying it on. “Well?” She asked Rin.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin frowned and said, "It looks like you killed a couch and skinned it.  Then proceeded to wear its skin.  Here . . ."

She peered through the racks until she saw a heavy wool, purple plaid pea coat.  "Less couch slaughter."

[SINIB]

Sakura

“I do?” Sakura said in shock. “I thought it looked good...” She accepted the coat Rin offered her and tried it on, putting the other one back on the rack. “So does it look better?” She asked hopefully.

[Elf]

Rin

"Yes!  You don't look like a couch murdering matron now," Rin said with a grin and a nudge.  "Now the right floral print in a dress would be really pretty on you."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura giggled. “You really think so, or are you just teasing me?”
