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

[Elf]

Shirou

"I'm here, Sakura," Shirou said with a smile as she forced him into a cuddling position on the bed.

He stretched out as well and watched as Rider started to go.  He said, "Night, Rider."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura wrapped her legs around Shirou’s stomach and laid silently for a while. She listened to the beat of his heart, felt it reverberate through her, and the gentle rise and fall of his breathing. It was soothing, like listening to a soft breeze on a warm spring afternoon, sitting in a field of pink flowers in the shade of a large oak tree.

Eventually, she spoke up. “You’re here right now, but will you be here tomorrow?” She asked.

[Elf]

Shirou

He tilted his head at Sakura's question and answered, "Well barring someone kidnapping me or mystical mishap, I should be right here when you wake."

He frowned, "Unless I have to relieve myself, then I will be in the washroom.  Or the kitchen."

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

“That’s relieving.” She said as she got out of the bed and wandered over to her dresser and began to disrobe, looking for her pajamas. “We need to go out and get you some clothes tomorrow.” She noted absently as she stood in her underwear, searching through her mess of a dresser.

[Elf]

Shirou

Shirou sat up and enjoyed the sight of Sakura's supple curves in her panties and bra.  He stripped off his shirt and jeans; he normally slept in his boxers with Sakura anyway.  He watched her rummage through her clothing and sat up.

"I might have to do some serious cleaning," he said as he looked around.

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura shook her head. “No it’s...everything’s got its place. The dresser is fine-ah.” She pulled it out and haphazardly threw them on, turning around to see Shirou waiting for her in bed. She smiled tiredly at him and walked over, only to jump onto him and pin him to the bed. “I got you!” She said with a smile.

[Elf]

Shirou

Shirou grinned and said, "You got me?  So you gonna have your wicked way with me why I blush and look away?"

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

“No, of course not.” She grinned wryly. “I’m going to hold you, and cuddle you, and make you mine. Forever and always.”

[Elf]

Shirou

The redhead canted his head and said, "That doesn't sound nearly as fun.  It sounds nice, but . . . You know I'm yours."

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

She poked him in the nose for his impudence. “Just trust me, it’ll be great. I promise.” She said. “I’ll make sure of it.” She flopped down on top of him and rolled over to grab her plush. “Just wait and see.”

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

It had not taken long at all for them to arrive at the buffet and her claim seemed to be true as all three of them were admitted without any trouble. Due to the nature of the Nexus it was rather easy to gather a wide selection of exotic foods that most people would never have seen before and Erica took advantage of that. The moment they had been seated the Spirit Vessel got up and floated over to the food before returning with a plethora of food. Not only way the table covered in plate and bowls s but the Mantle of Cinders became claws to hold even more delicacies.

It seemed almost impossible for someone like Erica to begin tackling this collection but she did. She relentlessly devoured a variety of meats and vegetables, drank bowls of soup dry in a single move. Her perfect mechanical movements failed her in the excitement and small spots of various sauces were smeared around her mouth. The amount of enjoyment she took out of eating and trying every flavor eventually wore off and she realized she had been ignoring Noel.

There was a short pause as she considered how to initiate. Being cordial and less polite seemed to work and making use of the environment would be logical. With a degree of shyness she speared a chunk of succulent grey meat with her fork and held it up towards Noel. "Do you want to try some?"

[Panda]

Seras

The time passed like a blur for Seras, with Noriko and the newcomer, oddly enough that same man he'd seen with that robot-lady from earlier, heading off under instructions from Vanguard and the metal man himself heading off in a different direction. Deciding that she didn't particularly feel like following Vanguard, Seras made her way back to her apartment to grab a new button-up to replace the torn one. With no real way to hide the shadow arm, the vampire decided that she might as well make use of it and flew home.

Whilst she was changing into the new shirt, a familiar buzzing registered. Picking the phone up with her shadow arm, Seras quickly answered it.

Probably the mage. I doubt the police want me back, and I'm pretty sure nobody else was scouting me.

"Hello," Seras said, "Noriko, I'm guessing?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

? ? ?

The woman was walking for a while, noticing that the suns from earlier had dissapeared. Then, she arrived into an empty alleyway and, without even turning around, spoke to the man from earlier.

"Oi mister, why are you following me?" She asked innocently.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Oi, is this hot-springs for alive or dead folks? There are two already." Rikuyo commented, noticing the ghost materializing. It was clearly without a body unlike the ghost girl. And this one was a kid. It wasn't so unusual for young people to die, but she didn't particularly care. Such things happened and there was nothing one could do. She cared more about the feast.

 "So, everything's wasted. This is not good." She frowned, unhappy about the situation. "Hey, should I go out and kill a bear?"

[MissingMandible]

Lone Wanderer:

"Well, the suns are gone and the night seems peaceful," Jeremy explained, "A stroll sounded nice."

Half-truths are still truths: He was a wanderer, and a wanderer roams around, around, around....

But, really, Tenma's odd behavior was the main reason why he was here. One can ask why he should concern himself with a woman he only knew for a few hours, only for Jeremy to reply back 'Why not?' He'd thrown his ass on the line for people he knew even less about. Also got a few bullets in said ass, but that is nothing that a stimpac and a air of tweezers wouldn't fix!
