Cross Effects 3.0 - October 21, 2015—June 23, 2016

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

The blonde vampire rose up from the couch, walked across the room and sat down on Corbin's lap. "Just how lazy are you?" She said as she looked at him.

[Elf]

Corbin

"Mm, I'm just not as energetic as you are, Shinobu.  Now, I can take from your wrist or your throat," he replied as he looked up at her.

Fuck fuck, she's on my lap because of course she is .  .

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

Shnobu leaned forward exposing her throat. "Are you gonna do it sometime soon?"

[SINIB]

Irisviel

Irisviel blinked at Saber before she figured out what she was talking about, slamming her fist against her hand. "Right! A paycheck! That's what you get after working for two weeks!" She felt really smart and proud for remembering such a meaningless piece of trivia. She deposited the coffee on a table and looked around. "Where are the mugs?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

GAROU XIII

Well too bad pal, cause you’re not getting shit.

Garou frowned before giving a tired look. He rested his hand and rubbed his temple in annoyance before giving into resignation. He was going to regret this.

“Fine, you can come. I guess. But  try something funny I'll rip your face off and make you eat it. Anything you'd liker?”

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

"He could be tricking her!" She insisted to Rider. You couldn't know. It could be someone else just pretending to be Archer who just looked like him and knew Rin wanted to talk to him, it could be one of Hamara's hitmen. That man was a monster, she hoped he'd be killed by somebody. She should have tried. She really felt she should have tried harder. She could have done something, anything. Anything at all!

She felt Vanguard put his hand on her shoulder.  "Is something wrong?" He asked her, clearly concerned.

Sakura balled herself up into the fetal position and started to cry. Tears welled up and flowed freely from her eyes down her cheeks. She sat in Shirou's lap saying now words and just letting her sobs out freely.

[Kat]

"I think Magic is a bit beyond me. Ramen for me too, then," he said, concealing how much he liked noodles by sounding indifferent. The waitress came over as they both closed their menus, and Ragna told her two bowls of ramen.

Ragna felt like he'd made the situation awkward by killing the conversation though, and revitalized it the best he could.

"How long have you been in... Nexus, anyway?" He said, properly remembering the name of the city he'd been introduced to a few hours prior.

Noriko

Ragna passed up a chance to know more about the magic, but Noriko was more of an apprentice than a master, and he wouldn't be able to learn more than theory anyway. So it was no loss for him.

"I didn't pay much attention, but certainly less then a day. I walked through streets, and didn't even notice when I ended up here, nothing flashy. The city even partly looks like the one I was visiting. It's as if parallel reality aligned for a moment with my own world and I unknowingly crossed into it. But I'm not knowledgeable about time and space magic. Alchemy, necromancy, mind magic, these are what I'm decent enough at."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Vanalma

Vanguard rubbed Sakura's back with a look of compassion, cradling the sobbing girl to comfort her like a mother would comfort her child.

"There, there. Let it all out my child." She said with a gentle smile, stroking her hair softly and reassuring the crying girl.

[SINIB]

Shirou Emiya

Shirou tightened his grip around Sakura as she began to cry. He felt her soft body curl up on top of him, holding her close to comfort her. He frowned at Vanguard as she got close and began to comfort Sakura like a mother would a child. She wasn't her mother, in fact, Sakura didn't even want a mother, she hated her mother and father with a burning passion. Neither him nor her even really knew who Vanguard was, they'd known him for less than a day.

He did not trust Vanguard. At all.

[SINIB]

Noel

Noel returned Alpha's smile with a smile of her own, completely contented and happy to have made a new friend. "Great! What should we do,
                          _{Death Dinner}
make our own special feast or we could go out and get some food from a restaurant!"

[Kotomine_Rin]

VanAlma



Vanguard kept cradling the crying girl, patting her comfortably. However, something was off about this. Vanguard seemed pained, genuinely saddened by something. He didn't look at Sakura, simply staring at his (they weren't actually his) feet and trembling for a bit. After a while, he smiled hesitantly and spoke.

"Are you worried Rin might get into trouble again?"

[Thedoctor]

Jin

"...Jin has a point though, Hell, I haven't seen a single Magical Beast since I got here. Wherever here is..."

It looks like this girl doesn't know where we are, I should probably inform her Jin thought. He turned to her and spoke. "I believe this place is called the Nexus, it's some weird place that draws people in from different places, I can't really tell you more than that, I'm pretty new myself."

[Elf]

Saber

"Yes, that is correct Irisviel," Saber said, a slight smile playing across her face.  "I do receive my paycheck every two weeks.  As to where the mugs are, they are in the kitchen of course.  In the cabinet above the Kurig.  Here, I will show you."

Without further preamble, she started to show Irisviel to the kitchen.


Corbin

"Maybe, or maybe I'm just savoring the moment," the Brit said as he gently took Shinobu's chin with his hand and tilted her head to the side.  He moved his free hand up to push her glorious, long, soft, almost glowing golden hair from her throat.

Sighing, he felt his fangs lengthen before he bowed his head to her throat.  Her skin tasted sweet-tart on his tongue as he licked her throat before gingerly sinking his fangs into her.  As he began to drink, he focused on making the bite pleasant but not orgasmic.  Not yet.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

"I have no likes or dislikes. The chance to taste something and eat it is enough for me. Where do we plan on going, and do you require me to transport you?" The stoic girl rose from her seat and the Mantle of Cinders resumed its neutral state as she floated in front of Garou and held out her arms. If he was incapable to she could lift him and carry the human around with little trouble.

[Kotomine_Rin]

GAROU XIII

Garou's brow twitched and his body turned cold and pale for a second, at least paler than before. He closed his eyes and gave a chilling pretense of a gentle smile. Except it wasn't even trying to be gentle, more like horrifying.

"Are you... pitying me?" He asked with a shaky voice.
