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

[Kat]

Gintoki

And so he abandoned Shinobu. It was her choice if she wanted to stay and be a bother, but he would have nothing to do with that. Now alone, he wandered through the streets of Nexus, fishing for coins lingering around under vending machines. After all, he was flat broken. He probably needed employment. But only posters he noticed recruited for a thing called Elites. Such uncool name. At least name yourself Hero's Association or something. Even if the idea of paying heroes for their deeds was kinda silly. You are a hero because you are obsessed about justice or feel like it. Probably there are ones somewhere who do it for a hobby. And he hardly could call himself a hero anyway.

Noriko

Now the blondie directed her emotional outburst at the mage. Honestly, she didn't give slightest damn about her opinion, but she wanted no external hindrances when she settled her squabble with the whitehead. She grabbed Ragna's arm and tried to pull him away outdoors. "Come on, I don't want those stare at me while I argue with you!"

[Kat]

"Because technically I'm not alive," Forest said folding her arms over her chest and scowling.  "I'm a vampire.  Nosferatu.  Creatures of the night, what sweet music do they make and all that nonsense.  I exist, because technically not living, by drinking the blood of the living, but I don't kill to feed before anyone get's their knickers in a twist.  Or attack me.  And no, I can't do the blood bag thing or pigs blood.  My vampirism doesn't work that way.

"Annnnnd what I'm worried about is garlic, because that's something that Stoker's book got right."

She then took a deep, unneeded breath.

Rikuyo

Riku's ears were bombarded by a torrent of weird words that really didn't mean anything to her. This vamsomething stuff, she never heard about that. Neither she could read anyway. But She only got few things right out of her explanation.

"Such a flawed hunter. Ya can't go out into the sunlight and prey only on one animal. Huh, I guess you must be pretty strong if ya survived with such handicaps. Wanna fight after the breakfeast?" Rikuyo grinned devilishly. A ghost possessing a dead body was nothing much out of ordinary, but a dead body feeding on humans? That was a novelty. She would see if this Forest vampire was strong enough to prevail in spite of such shortcomings, or luck had been on her side.

Mordred

Even weird, blood magic induced dreams were not enough to wake up the slumbering Changeling. After all, she didn't sleep for two days straight, and she didn't get much sleep anyway last time. Even her falling off chair didn't interrupt anything. Giggling moronically with sort of blissful expression on her face, she continued her deep sleep, her tail moving around from time to time.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

The blonde vampire was now sitting in one of the booths of the gas station, depressed that they didn't serve donuts as she had hoped. Nevertheless she was too tired of merely wandering aimlessly and decided to take a break there. While enjoying said break she was trying out this drink called coffee, it was quite bitter but seemed to sharpen her senses, well there had to be a reason as for why so many humans drank this with regular intervals.

Taking another sip of the coffee, she yet again looking around at the people present there, all of them seemed to be relatively normal humans. Then she saw her, a young blonde woman in a dress with a cat shaped umbrella of all things, and if her intuition wasn't fooling her the young woman was a vampire. She was a bit unsettled by her earlier encounter at the mansion though so instead of approaching the young human Shinobu decided to sit back and watch for now.

[Adella]

Adella

Staring at him blankly, Adella could not help but wonder what he was on about this time. "A man might be burning with passion, but I have rarely seen that in such literal form. Alas, I am moreso wondering as to why I have 'not' seen it in the literal form, when you so evidently burst out of your clothes -quite- literally." Almost carrying with it something of a scrutinizing undertone, Adella instinctively moved her upper body back a little, when he pulled her closer to him by her waist, which was roughly on the level of his chest to begin with.

When he then did his best to bring his face closer to hers she could not help but sigh, in discontent:"Dear man, must I really ask you, whether you are trying to court me?" Her otherwise relaxed, calming voice rang with a faint note of annoyance this time, Adella shook her head a little to get it out of the way of his greedy fingers. "No, I would not die. But I would be breaking a promise I am not willing to break." With that she'd give his face a "gentle" shove, trying to get him away from her.

"Now... if you would refrain from further grasping me in such an act of uncalled for skinship, I would greatly appreciate it..." It was not even that she disliked his appearance, but she barely knew the man. This was entirely too... harsh and impolite. Such indecency was nothing she wanted to bear for no apparent reason. Not to mention that she'd not be able to get anything out of a bout of physical pleasure one way or another... such an inscrupulous man...

[Kotomine_Rin]

Darcy Hugh

Darcy backed away immediately.

"Sorry, I went too far. While a man may lose himself to temptation at the sight of a beautiful woman, I am a gentleman!! I, Darcy Hugh, would never impose myself on a cutie! That is the path... OF A MAN!!!! "

Then, he took a more serious tone.

"Ya keep your promises, I respect that. I think I like you even more now. An honest lass is a good lass in my book, lets have a drink sometime. You hungry, is chocolaté fine?"

[SINIB]

Oka

"Huh? Um. Oh. I'm not being attacked anymore, at least. So I'm probably—" then Oka realized something. This man looked strong. She could get back at Gabe with him. "No, actually, I'm not okay! The man over there just appeared and started sexually harassing me!" She pointed at Gaberiel. "The woman with the weird skin is a good person, but that man is a definite pedophile."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Tohuw Balagan

The demon smiled mirthfully before sitting on a chair that just happened to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing right in front of the two. It was fancy, pink and comfy. Just like how he liked them.

"Well, who am I to refuse?"

Crossing his legs, he took a licorice candy string out of his pocket and rested it on a tiny porcelain plate. Then, with a ridiculously tiny fork and knife, he cut a small piece of licorice and brought it slowly, elegantly to his mouth. It was as if that small fragment was the height of cuisine. Chewing it carefully, he swallowed it with a smile.

"Want some?" He asked, holding another piece with his fork to them like a kid who is eager to share candy with a best friend.

[Thedoctor]

Major Kisaragi

Sexually harrassing her? well he did admit she was pretty cute but that's despicable. Jin bravely walked forward while saying. "Have no worry fair lady, I the hero of Ikaruga will deal with this scum".

With a hand on his trusty blade he approached the scum who dared to show his face in his prescence. "I suggest you leave this young woman or I'll show you the power of Yukianesa".

[Umbra of Chaos]

Urthemiel

The Old God ignored the other girl for a moment as Mordred fell out of her chair. She took careful note of the Changeling's expression before a wave of her hand crafted a glyph under the prone blonde. It kept her carefully suspended on the air so that she wouldn't fall again. Only after making sure of its comfort did she turn back to face Emily.

"It wasn't a terrible scuffle. Mordred made little progress against a mage and ran into a wall he conjured. She landed a blow with her spear and I repaired her ribs." The mage's tone was Cleary dismissive. She thought very little of the issue and gave it less attention than one would a fly.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Van/Alma

The girl smiled before speaking with a teasing demeanor.

"It better, unless boasting really is all Rider can do. Hell, both of you can have a contest and I will be the judge. Wasn't that our little agreement, Sakura?"

Walking towards Sakura, she sighed before scratching her head a bit, both lazily and annoyingly. Well, she wasn't really annoyed, but the hunger made her cranky.

"I will let my retroposition resurface. I suppose its not much to ask of me to play nice, correct? As far as it concerns you, she is me. Got it?"

[Elf]

Gabriel

"Have no worry fair lady, I the hero of Ikaruga will deal with this scum."

Gabriel blinked as a slim blond man who was dressed in questionable and bright fashion brandishing a Japanese based blade, still sheathed, approached him with Oka still in her hiding spot.  "I suggest you leave this young woman or I'll show you the power of Yukianesa," he said.

Gabriel sighed, shook his head, and said, "You would be wasting your time if you did.  I was asked by this lady," he gestured to Lumen, "to help navigate this city.  If you would like this task, I would happily give it to you."

He smirked at Oka, "I have better things to do anyway."


Forest

"Such a flawed hunter. Ya can't go out into the sunlight and prey only on one animal. Huh, I guess you must be pretty strong if ya survived with such handicaps. Wanna fight after the breakfeast?" Rikuyo grinned devilishly at Forest.

Forest frowned and said, "Not really . . . I don't get into fights where I have no chance."  She did smile and said, "Now, maybe after I know a little bit more about you I'd be willing to spar."

[Kat]

Forest frowned and said, "Not really . . . I don't get into fights where I have no chance."  She did smile and said, "Now, maybe after I know a little bit more about you I'd be willing to spar."

Rikuyo

"I can hold back. If I didn't do it, many of whom I had fought would lose from a single punch or something." After all, she was an abnormality. Very few people in her own world could stand up to her base form. She would have eventually grew bored of fighting if she didn't end up in this strange place. "I won't transform unless you make me to."

Julius

He marched through the forest, his instincts leading him to the nearest anomaly that disturbed his dreams. Now, the dreamer awake, he would find it and maybe judge it if it was something that deserved judgment. His sharp eyes spotted a pair of people wandering in the same forest. Maybe calling on of them a human would be a stretch. The woman was unusually tall, and for some reason he knew she could be the source of nightmares he experienced.

"What are you doing in my forest, strangers?" He called out to them. The forest did surround a castle, but nobody of its inhabitants seemed to venture there. By the virtue of actually living there, albeit in modest conditions, he claimed its as his own.

[Elf]

Forest

Forest wasn't sure if Rikuyo was bragging or being honest.  The girl was absurdly strong; Forest could feel that.  She didn't even come in the same weight class as the shapeshifter, and the girl was obviously the sort that found fun in fighting.

I remember those days, the blond thought with a bit of nostalgia that made her smile.

"I might have to take you up on that.  Just no hair pulling; I really hate that," Forest said as she extended her hand out to Rikuyo.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

As someone not raised in Western culture the girl did not exactly understood the meaning of Forest's gesture, but from the context she figured out she agreed for Riku's offer. So she bowed politely like usually her countrymen did. "Thanks. Let's fight after the meal if there's large enough room here. If there ain't any, I can wait for the sunset." She realized she kept Kenzou waiting too long. "Kay~, let's eat! Just take out garlic if there's any, she said she can't eat it." She turned to the demon, remembering that Forest couldn't stomach that one thing.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lumen

The abomination turned to look at the blonde man and was thoroughly unimpressed. Throwing around threats was both unpleasant and irritating as far as she was concerned. Part of her considered leaving and just cutting her losses but decided to linger a bit. "Hey. What do you think you're doing? Jumping into a conversation and tossing around threats isn't really appreciated. If you're so concerned then you can go over and guard the kid yourself."
