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

[Elf]

Gabriel

"Do you have a preference or are you feeling daring?" Gabriel asked with a smile, "As to your question, only the ones I'm interested in."

[Kat]

Petra

It seemed like the misunderstanding had been cleared. The chef turned out to be just a person too bit dedicated to personal hygiene, and the powers he possessed actually expelled unhealthy body parts in most direct and efficient way and replaced them with healthy issue. The food was good, but she honestly didn't feel like going there any soon. Petra prefered eating healthily rather then develop health problems. She paid for Garou's bill and fortunately still had money left on her.

"I really should have picked more normal place if I knew." She sighed, apologizing to Garou.

[Panda]

Dante

The half-demon allowed a chuckle at Oka's indignant response, watching with a degree of amusement at Rider's request and the waitress's growing impatience. At last, the lavender-haired woman turned and made her order, and it took all of Dante's considerable self-restraint to not look visibly put-off by her choice. Olives on pizza, to the half-demon were just...incomprehensible. Why anyone would ever prefer olives, even go so far as to ask for extra olives, was completely and totally beyond him. This was tantamount to heresy against pizza, and he was the one literally paying for it.

Ah well, I can't exactly back out on my word now...

Dante hid his disappointment behind another swig of his beer, sighing as the warm burn slid down his throat.

"Say, how'd you end up here?" he asked, turning to the shorter purple-head.

[Kat]

Mordred

Her fingers twitched instinctively when Corbin brought up vampires. Her mind was in enough disarray that she gave such subtle cues at that point. But Kuro quickly shot down that idea, claiming she needed magical energy to sustain her body. Damn, it still wasn't excuse to do it in such absurd way!

"Hey, even if your circumstances are like that, quit screwing around like that and get people into trouble." She stared coldly at Kuro expressing disapproval in her shameful display. "Can't you just contract someone for magical energy?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Theodore

Theodore couldn't help but be impressed as the masked man deflected all six projextiles. He didn't think he'd have been able to do it himself. However, it was already too late. Just as they deflected the projectiles-

A massive screw burst out of the ground behind Relius, intent on impaling the man through his chest.

[Elf]

Corbin

"I'm really not a spellcaster, Little Bit," Corbin said with a sigh, "And look, I get that you have abnormal 'dietary needs', trust me, I understand that all too well, but worn a bloke before you go sucking them for energy."
 
He shook his head as Tuck arrived with three green bottles of soda and three menus.  To himself, Corbin murmured, "Hell, we could honestly use a few spellcasters and a really good telepath on the Elites."  His voice piped up and he smiled at Mordred. 

"Here, try one of these.  I promise, it's just soda.  Worse thing in here is caffeine."


Rin

The raven haired magus had really no idea she was going, she was just walking aimlessly with her arms around her.

Maybe I should get a pack of cigarettes, I need something to calm my nerves, Rin thought.  She really didn't want to get drunk again, not after last night.   She just knew she needed something. 

She looked up to see an attractive young woman hanging around some Goth punk with one arm.  She tilted her head and frowned at the sight before chuckling and shaking her head.

[SINIB]

Oka

"No, they're my friends. Don't be rude." Oka looked annoyed. She was tired of the collective people of the Nexus' ignorance of pokemon. " Wormy's as intelligent as you or me."

Then she noticed the tryhard plebe was talking to her.

"Ehh, why would I tell you that, of all people?" She said disdainfully to him.

[Panda]

Emily

The Changeling couldn't help a slight grin at that.

"I think I'm feeling a little daring," Emily said, "And I suppose I should admit that the feeling is mutual."

[SINIB]

Shirou Emiya

Shirou frowned at the mention of Archer and Sakura cooking. He didn't particularly mind Archer, but...

He wanted to cook with her.

He knew she was teasing him, doing this to get at him, at least partly, but...

It still hurt.

"Yeah...

Ok, let's heal me..." He let go of her loosely, feeling a bit depressed.

[Elf]

Gabriel

Gabriel smiled and said, "Well, that pleases me.  Now, I will be back."  With a tilt of his head, he headed to the bar, humming slightly out of tune with the band playing.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Garou XIII

Garou was walking along Petra, feeling full, refreshed and having nothing better to do than to roam and follow her. Not like he had a real place to stay in, but he didn't mind her presence. At least she wasn't annoying.

Suddenly, he heard someone snicker behind him. He turned around to notice some fat assed japanese bitch in a red jacket chuckling like a retard. His dark crimson eyes narrowed  and he glared at her behind his awesome sunglasses before walking up to her.

"Oi, what's so funny brat?" He asked sourly.

[yinsukin]

Relius Clover

The creature gave the puppeteer no time to go on the offensive as he conjured some sort of drill that popped up from the ground intended to impale him.  The moment he saw the ground break beneath him, he activated his Ars that allowed him to float.  That few seconds allowed Ignis to teleport in front of him and grab him with her hat tails.  They stretched and wrapped around her, tieing Relius to her back.  She floated forward at high speed, charging the creature.

[Kat]

Petra

She sighed as she saw that Garou became a bit confrontational. Maybe she should just defuse any tension before Garou did something rude. "Hey, what's wrong, Garou?" She butted in. Honestly, she didn't have clue why Asian woman was chuckling, but surely Garou was overreacting.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider couldn't help but notice the hint of annoyance on Tony's face when she ordered her pizza. Apparently, something in her order really put him off. Was it the olives? Did he really not like olives? Rider knew she'd have to address it later. Right now, though, she was too focussed on the girl who looked like Sakura. Even if she wasn't Sakura, she was still somewhat similar, and that was enough for Rider to at least want to get to know her. As such, she felt a little saddened when the girl responded to her with annoyance, clearly upset at her referring to the two animals as "pets".

"Oh, I see", Rider said, clearly upset that she'd hurt the girl's feelings. "Sorry, I didn't realise that they were intelligent. I understand that it can be annoying when people make that mistake."

She fully understood the girl's feelings. After all, she knew plenty of creatures that were perfectly intelligent, but were nevertheless treated like unintelligent monsters just because of how they looked. In fact, her own son was a horse, so she knew what it was like to have close relationships to those who did not look human.

"Well, can I stroke your friends, then?" she continued, wanting to interact with the creatures and get to know the girl better.

As she spoke, though, something else was niggling at her mind.

Wormy? That's an odd name, she thought.

It was an odd enough name as it was, particularly given that neither creature looked like a worm. The fact that the girl looked like Sakura only made it even more weird. After all, her Sakura had a strong connection to worms as well, albeit in a very different manner.

"Wait, which one is Wormy? Neither of them look very worm-like", she asked, genuinely curious, the whole situation very confusing to her.

How was it that this girl was so much like Sakura, yet not her?

[Elf]

Rin

"Oi, what's so funny brat?" the Goth guy asked her, glaring at her from behind his sunglasses.

Rin felt a surge of anger through the haze of depression that was starting to become disorienting.  She grabbed a hold of it, using it as a focus and felt a grin cross her face.  Tossing her long raven hair, she unabashedly made eye contact with him.

"I could have found a bunch of things funny, but your presumption that I was chuckling at you is pretty hilarious," Rin answered with a sigh and a shake of her head.
