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

[Kotomine_Rin]

Darcy Hugh

After a while, Darcy stopped at the heard of a girl calling up to him. He looked up in a haggard, nearly drunk fashion and noticed the sight of a pretty lady before smiling friendily and closing his eyes, still trying to keep his trembling body's shivering to a minimum.

"Heh, I could use a drink or two. And a coat, but I guess that makes two of us." He joked in good humor, as if he wasn't freezing in the first place.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

Weird, he smelled like a one, but didn't look like all those wolfpeople she met back in the north of her homeland. Everything about him screamed that he was an overseas foreigner, maybe except the beard. Ainu men were all bearded ones. Maybe all wolfblooded guys had beards. Sounded legit!

But when the werewolf opened his mouth, she asked her something weird she had no clue about. "Uh, Saiya-what? I ain't got clue whatcha talkin' bout. Don't ya see I'm a half-monkey?" She replied confusedly, the meaning of his words lost on her. But whatever, foreigners were all weirdoes.

"Eh, whatever. Pals from yer pack ain't here. And I'm bored. So you'll make for a good warm-up. C'mon, it's been ages since I fought anyone like ya." She grinned, challenging the guy. Now that he had a closer look at him, he also looked quite yummy. If he disappointed her, she would just have a good fest anyway. Even greenhorns tasted much better then the long pork.

Ron

"Asian comics reference," he said out of politeness. It was only fair to clarify what he meant, after all. "Saiyans were alien warriors with monkey tails who transformed into giant apes on the full moon."

Ron's eyes flitted about, and back to the comic store behind him. He didn't want to wreck it or get other people involved. "I don't have a pack for you to worry about," he confessed after a moment. His fingers clenched into fists. "But if you want a fight, let's move it somewhere a bit less... crowded."

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Huh, I don't get what yer talking about." What were comics even? So confusing. Neither she had clue what aliens were. Silly foreigners and their silly things. But what puzzled her more was why the heck he didn't have a pack. They've also came in packs unless were only separated for a while. A long wolf froze in the winter while a pack survived.

"Wait, wait, wait, yer just some loner? Or new to this? Maybe you even have less clue about your folks then an outsider like me? Nah, that won't be any good. Eh, I've waited for months, then maybe I'll wait a bit longer." Something rubbed wrong about him being a lone wolf. If he was clueless about his people, then it didn't matter if he was strong or weak. He should at least know something or it wouldn't be different from fighting all those werewolves that smelled unfamiliar and rambled about being opressed by vampires.

"Wanna me show ya ropes? I'm not a werewolf like ya, but I've hanged out enough to know the gist of it. Then we'll fight whereever ya want, I don't give a shit."

Relius Clover

The masked scientist casually walked down the street, his body language was extremely relaxed, as if he had nothing better to do.  He became more lost in thought the more he walked.

I must obtain more data on my current condition.  What are the limits of this magical contract?  How powerful is the effect itself?  Perhaps if the residue of the magic is powerful enough, this Theodore will be useful in constructing Ars... The incomprehensible thoughts of the genius scientist followed this pattern.

His thoughts were interrupted by the dolphin or rather frog hanging out in the street.  He stopped moving.  For a good 60 seconds, Relius Clover simply stared at the frog, unable to process the absurdity of it all.  Then he started laughing.

"Pft... Hahahaha! How fitting!  The lowly animal finally shows his true form!"

[Kat]

Mordred

Like in a flash, Kuro materialized a pair of swords that didn't remind Mordred of anything she usually used. She tried to knock away her spear with those swords, but the changeling firmly grasped her spear and didn't let her achieve the goal. Shit, that was close! If her own reflexes weren't enhanced and her physique could match that tiny powerhouse, she could have got disarmed. Looked like it would be a tough fight even if she had still an ace or two in a sleeve. Didn't look forward to that.

Her senses started focusing more and more on the opponent in front of her. Probably she would get enough fixated on the fight to ignore anything what Corbin would comment, but that was one of disadvantages of the spear. It was great equalizer in duels, but she had less of a grip on some aspects of reality around her. She moved away a bit and again moved forward to engage her enemy. She roughly knew what to expect, assuming she kept those short swords. She had to utilize the benefit of her range and try to pressure her while staying out of the range of those blades. At least in the beginning. She would use one of her Contracts if things weren't going her way.

[Panda]

Emily

Emily allowed a slight frown at Gabe's reaction, or rather the lack of the one she was going for. Then again, she was being rather soft on him. With that in mind, she gripped him somewhat more firmly, stroking with a degree of vigor now.

"Better?" She mused before leaning her head down to lave at the head of his length. Then she spotted that one particularly thick vein, looking up at him to give him a wicked smile before turning her hand so that her fingers were resting along that throbbing vein, pressing down on it like she was playing an instrument as she took his head into her mouth and started to suck on it, lightly at first, but then with a bit more vigor, her tongue lapping at him while she did so.

[Elf]

Duke

Duke raised an eyebrow at the girl with the honey colored hair and said, "Wine from Israel.  No brand, just wine from Israel?  Well, let me look."

He disappeared in the back for moments before returning, hold his hand a dusty green bottle.  "It's pretty old and not cheap.  Do you wanna buy the bottle or by the glass?  Buying by the bottle would probably save you some green in the long run," he said as he set it on the bar.


Rin

Rin smiled as Dante shook her hand before turning to his sundae, obviously enjoying it. 

Blushing, she looked to the bar and asked, "May I have one too, please?"

The handsome barkeep nodded and yelled something in a language she didn't recognize to the back.  Within a few moments she had her own sundae in front of her.  She eyed it for a moment before taking the first spoonful and almost swooned when that first creamy, sweet yet tart bite hit her tongue.  "Oh, wow," she whispered before digging in.


Gabriel

Gabriel hissed slightly as sensation lanced through him as Emily put pressure just where he wanted it.  He ran a hand through her thick red hair as he rode the increasing pressure.  He replied, "Much better."

[Panda]

Emily

The Changeling smirked at his reaction, unable to get a reply out due to her mouth being otherwise occupied, leaning into the hand burying itself in her hair as she continued for a few moments more before slowing down a bit. Allowing him a few moments to realize this, Emily then started to take more of him into her mouth, bobbing her head up and down on his length and stroking on what she didn't have her lips around.

After a few moments more, the Changeling tentatively reached her free hand up to starting teasing the sack under his length, knowing full well that this was something of a mixed bag and going easy on it just in case.

[Aiden]

Auspicious Breeze

The ugly feeling building up inside of her froze for a moment, still in anticipation of Oren's response. Some distant part of Breeze recognized something bad was about to happen, but she wasn't sure what it would be.

Then, she could move her arms again. There was meat in front of her.

This was good. The former gladiator couldn't feel those thorns scrape her heart anymore. That was also good. They were annoying.

She sat down and started to pick at the meat, placing it in her mouth and chewing it. She didn't say anything. There was no reason to.


Gadreel

"You have an uncanny sense of direction," the exile could not resist mentioning, perhaps to preserve his own minimal ego. He was permitted to have at least some sense of pride in petty mattes such as this. After all, he had already committed to the ultimate humility for a being such as himself:

He had devoted himself to the defense and development of the species who would be his masters some day.

In the meantime, however, he could appreciate the items on display ... and anticipate the choices Forest would suggest for him.


Ron

"New?" he asked, blinking in confusion as some of the excitement of a possible fight ebbed away in favor of, well, confusion. "Not really. I'm just a native of our fair city, here."

Ron motioned dramatically with his arms to all the buildings. He felt his urges and hungers recede, as if telling him to let them know when things were gonna be interesting again. "And I've seen plenty of werewolves, but none of them were... like me. So, I'm not sure if you even know the right kind of werewolf."

Still, if she did... that could be interesting.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

"I'll have my revenge, mark my words, one day you''ll be tickled so hard you want to die...ha-ha-ha-hah" Jeanne threatened her master in a joking tone, ending with a fake laughter. "Yes, let's get to the kitchen." She said more calmly as she followed Sakura.


Kuro

Her swords met the blonde's spear, their weapons clashing with no one giving any ground, the blonde woman could match her strenght when she tried, not that Kuro hadn't expected that. The first blow was not meant to disarm the blonde, just to see how she would react. The blonde then jumped backwards creating distance between them. So she's the type to retreat when surprised, now how should I draw advantage of that? The white haired girl thought of a plan as she matched Mordred's movements and jumped back herself creating even more distance between them. Yes this would be enough.

As the blonde started charging her again, Kuro suddenly threw the swords she was holding at the blonde, the blades spun through the air at high speed. Then the white haired girl charged as well right behind the thrown blades, a new pair of identical swords appearing in her hands as she moved. She intended to take advantage of the moment Mordred was distracted by the thrown blades to run around her and attack from the side.

[SINIB]

Faust

Faust remained dead.

[Kat]

Mordred

Throwing blades like that and charging in unarmed would have been a ridiculous move but she proved she could afford that as she materialized another pair of swords. Mordred spun around her spear to deflect the blades, but realized that she was playing into Kuro's scheme. She was forced into deflecting weapons she discarded and would have been left open to her attack. Or really it was the case? After all, she had more than four limbs. If the girl tried to exploit the opening she just created, she would just slap her with her tail which conveniently was invisible to Corbin and Kuro. Well, the girl would have been amnesiac if she forgot about her true form, but it was still worth a try.

[Kat]

Petra

While they all busied themselves eating their sundae, Petra at least was the one with original ideas there and prefered to stick to her guns. "The bottle, of course. I wouldn't have it another way."

And then, without care for what other would think, she proceeded to down half the bottle in one go. "This is really some good stuff, heh." She commented on the wine, her stress miraculously going away with each gulp. Though she wasn't drunk yet, it took more to affect her liver then that.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Sakagami Kenzo

The oni was walking around a bit when he heard something annoying behind his back. He turned around and glanced at the familiar face and sighed.

"You don't need to announce yourself, I know that you're there." He replied calmly, not quite in a friendly tone but neither with hostility.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood for jokes. I don't think it's in your intrests to look for a fight. Do you need me for something?"


Garou XIII

Garou's face immediately twisted in rage unlike ever before, clenching his teeth in seething fury far beyond simple anger. The air around the two turned cold, even though that already happened so really nothing happened but i just felt like trying something poetic and cool but am reaizing that I am running out of ideas gah this is so frustrating just put me out of my misery already.

"THEY'RE NOT FAKE, ALRIGHT!? THEY AREN'T FAKE! NOT! FAKE! THEY ARE FILED, I MADE THEM MYSELF! HOW DARE YOU FUCKING DISS MY AWESOME FASHION YOU SH-"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the monster stopped and instantly calmed down, as if his outburst never happened. Crap, he had fallen back into his old habits. Still, after a pause he smiled haughtily and chuckled as if amused.

"I see. How clever, to provoke me with such a ruse in order to lower my guard. Classic misdirection, I must applaud you. You're less of a dumbass than I thought, but it's futile." His foot traveled to rest confortably atop the freaky costume girl's head, intending to slowly crush it.

"I suggest you try a little better than that, or else these people you're trying so desperatedly to save will die." He added with a cruel, cocky sneer.
