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

[Kat]

Julius

The castle wasn't his... but a honored guest was basically the same as the owner anyway? "There's a castle behind a forest. I know the way, but I came here to explore the city, even if it's unsightly. I know every nook and cranny of my other hunting grounds, and surely monsters are guaranteed to lurk in glass and stones cities of men." Vampires, werewolves and even weirder things should better behave or [HOLY DIVER] would purge. Assuming just his knives and pistol wouldn't be enough for some of the rabble among monsters.

[Kat]

Lumen

The Patchwork nodded in agreement at the former spirit's exclamation. Anyone would have said the same thing if they had the chance to taste of the divine. "You can keep the rest if you want. It's good on any food, and even things that aren't. It's no big deal if you do. I can always get more."

Petra

"Sure, if you say so." Petra could have asked where Lumen could get more of this kind of spice, but she didn't want to be pushy about it. So she moved on to another topic. "So, what are we going to do now? Go to a market, maybe?" Petra's clothes weren't that out of place compared to other Servants, but still, she could blend with the crowd better and just resummon them if she wanted to.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lumen

Lumen thought about the offer for a moment. She didn't necessarily need clothes but they would be nice in covering her body since she gave her cloak away. However, there was an issue with going to any market or store. "I wouldn't mind going but I don't have any money and I really don't feel like mooching off of someone else."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Garou XIII

Garou blinked for a second at the sudden change, but then proceeded to grin ferociously. Yes, that was it! That was exactly what he wanted to see. That look... he wanted more. More!

"Nah, I'm not some crazed mass murderer like the fodder back there. I'm different. I'm a monster, an animal, trash, scum unfit to even call itself human. It's natural for garbage to want to tear fellow garbage apart. But you're not human either, are you? You have the same eyes as me! The eyes of a killer. That turns me on you know?" He said, unable to contain hints of glee.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin returned the quick kiss before gasping at the quick squeeze to her rear.  Then Archer pulled away and said, "We should probably wait for them to get down and maybe leave before we do anything further."

Heat filled Rin's cheeks and she looked up at Archer with wide eyes.  She made a tiny sound that wasn't quite a yelp as she realized that Sakura, Shirou, or worse Rider, would walk in while Archer was taking her virginity.  Then the color drained out of her face as she reached for her tea and took a tiny sip of it.

"Yeah, being caught wouldn't be . . . It would be bad," she said woodenly before taking another drink.

[Thedoctor]

Archer

"I figured you wouldn't want that" he said. Then he took a look at the tea before saying. "At least you have some...good tea."

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

“Ok, we’ll be out in a second Rider!” Sakura called out excitedly. “Come on, let’s go, Senpai~” She tugged excitedly on his sleeve.

“Yeah, yeah,” Shirou responded. “Let’s have a good time. I’m counting on you, Sakura.”

Sakura and Shirou then opened up their door and started walking down the stairs, Sakura smiled at Rider as she passed her while Shirou had a half grin, half frown, expression.

[SINIB]

Oka

Oka backed away slowly from the cowgirl. She had no interest in sticking around at this point, and she was kinda freaking out. “Come on Jin, let’s go.” She said, grabbing her bags in one hand and Jin’s hand in the other before taking off.

[Kat]

Lumen

Lumen thought about the offer for a moment. She didn't necessarily need clothes but they would be nice in covering her body since she gave her cloak away. However, there was an issue with going to any market or store. "I wouldn't mind going but I don't have any money and I really don't feel like mooching off of someone else."

Petra

"I don't have either. But surely someone generous could loan me money? It's not exploiting someone if you pay them back." Without interest of course, the interest was inherently sinful. "Let's go anyway, with some luck I will find someone willing to help the cause."

[Elf]

Forest

Forest led Greyskull, still trying not to snicker, to the hot springs.

Then proceed to face palm at the amount of violence going on around her.  There was some new guy with a staff fighting Riyuko and a whole lot of nonsense going on.  Sighing, she shouted, "Kenzo!  Hey Kenzo!"

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider smiled at the exchange between Sakura and Shirou as they prepared to leave, waiting patiently for them to come out. She could tell that Sakura was very enthusiastic for the trip, whilst Shirou was far more ambivalent. Her suspicions were confirmed when they exited the room and walked past her, Sakura smiling at her brightly whilst Shirou had an uncertain look on his face.

As Sakura passed her, Rider followed along behind her, also smiling from the happiness her master was showing. As they walked down the stairs, she addressed Sakura.

"I told Rin we were going out. She had some issues with Archer, but hopefully they'll patch things up with each other whilst we're gone", she said.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin looked at her tea and said, "I mixed two different tea bags.  It's not bad, but not what I expected."

She heard people leaving the house and took a drink.  "I think everyone's leaving."

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Jin suddenly found himself dragged away from the crazy cowgirl by Oka, she had taken hold of his hands with one of her own. "Good idea, she looked dangerous." He then remembered how she had reacted earlier when a similar thing had occured. "Well look who's doing the hand holding now." he said with a smile.

Archer

 "I think everyone's leaving." He heard Rin say and responded with, "We should probably see them off first don't you think." Not even waiting for answer he was already moving out from the kitchen and towards the stairs.

[Elf]

Rin

"That would probably be a good idea," Rin said, "Plus Emiya should see you at the least."  She then trotted off after him, taking her tea.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

"Uh, yeah. Is something the matter Akatsuki?" He said nonchalantly before tilting his head. His profusely bleeding, deformed and crushed head that was luckily starting to visibly heal up.

Akatsuki stared for a moment too long, and then shook her head, put a hand on her toweled chest and looked up to the side in what she thought was a ladylike pose.

"Of course not, I just wanted to make sure the bath was having its proper effects on you." She edged in a few looks to Kenzo. "Looks like you're healing fine though."

She fidgeted overly much in her concern, making her "few looks" seem far more as if she were shaking her head back and forth, staring at injuries, scars, Kenzo's expression, and more.

Except for his willy wonka, which was hidden by the water.
