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

[Panda]

Annabeth

The Hunter kept her guns leveled a moment longer before relaxing, letting one of the guns dissipate as she drew closer. Heaving a resigned sigh, Annabeth caught Oren as she stumbled over, helping the antler-headed girl support her own weight.

"Well, try to give me a bit of warning next time, okay?" the Hunter asked.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider began to dig into her food enthusiastically, enjoying the taste, but her enthusiasm rapidly went away as she noticed Sakura picking listlessly at her food, obviously not hungry. Rider looked at her with concern, eating her own food very slowly and distractedly, worried about Sakura's well-being. Shirou, too, seemed rather distracted, presumably by Sakura's obvious lack of appetite and what had happened prior to the meal. However, Rider was uncertain how to react, not wanting to make Sakura feel worse than she already did, so she simply continued to eat pointlessly, unable to enjoy the food due to the circumstances and, as a servant, obtaining no nutrition from it.

[SINIB]

Sakura and Shirou

Sakura furtively glanced around at the other two, and her heart plummeted once more. She felt like a piece of shit, actively sapping the enjoyment of the meal from the other two. She really didn’t want it to be this way! Not. One. Bit.

She would have to fake it.

She suddenly started eating with great gusto, devouring what was on her plate in record speed. “Mmmm, that was good Shirou, as expected!” She said with a flawless smile.

Shirou looked at her with a saddened expression. He couldn’t help himself, this was just... pitiful was the only word he could think of. And he wanted to smack himself for thinking such a thing. But he knew that even that would upset Sakura. He was a cornered rabbit, with enemies coming from all directions and closing in on him. There was no escape route evident. “Sakura...” He began before noticing a small, completely minute twitch on her face, betraying her true feelings to him even more clearly. “Thanks alot. It really means alot to hear that from you.” He smiled back at her, unaware of the rueful nature of it.

[MissingMandible]

Corporal Blackburn:

He was checking the corner when something leaped onto his back, nearly bowling him over. The soldier managed to not only stay on his feet, but he was able to swing the momentum into slamming the assailant latched on his back into the wall.

[Elf]

Forest

Without missing a beat, Forest punched the board that came flying at her face from the floor.  It broke on impact, wooden shards going everywhere as she kept going.  Without missing a beat, she closed the rest of the distance. 

However, instead of striking, she just reached out and aimed to flick the girl's nose.


Gabriel

Gabriel sighed at Petra's admonishment of his preference for sweets over fish.  After liquor, it was his greatest vice.  Sometimes he wondered if he actually preferred sweets over alcohol himself.

Instead he gave them a little wave and said, "Good luck ladies, and watch out for Cuthulu.  I believe he's lurking in the depths here, or rather, I wouldn't be overly surprised if he was."

[SINIB]

Irisviel

"Who answers the doorbell like that Saber?" Irisviel asked merrily.

[Elf]

Saber

Saber smiled and said, "It is a proper greeting.  I will buzz you to come up.  Did you bring coffee, by the way?"


Corbin Caw Caw Mother Fucker

As he was flying away, he heard gunshots.  Cursing to himself he turned and glided back to the direction he had came.  The gas station was still in flames and he could make out the charred remains of his motorcycle.  He mentally frowned at that when he saw that Cunt fighting against a large man who looked like he stepped off the set of Starship Troopers. 

He had slammed her against a while, and considering the blood on the vampire, it look liked he shot first and had no desire to ask questions.  He really didn't want to get in the middle, but he remembered he had a duty as an Elite.

Which also meant he had a badge and some clout, which he completely forgot about.

He reverted to human form, landed, and rushed to where the two were tussling.  Pulling out his Elite badge, he extended it in one hand while the other held his gun.  "Okay, both of you, bloody stop this bullshite now.  Freeze, I'm an Elite!"

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

Shinobu was just about to throw the armored man off her when she heard a voice yell.

"Freeze I'm an Elite!".

She turned her head and saw a man waving a badge and a gun at them. She simply looked at him confused before asking. "Who might you be, and what are these Elites?".

[Kat]

Forest

Without missing a beat, Forest punched the board that came flying at her face from the floor.  It broke on impact, wooden shards going everywhere as she kept going.  Without missing a beat, she closed the rest of the distance. 

However, instead of striking, she just reached out and aimed to flick the girl's nose.

Rikuyo

Forest's attack was halfhearted. There was no intent to strike, to deal pain. So Rikuyo caught her arm in the mid-way, before it reached her face. Gripping it, she delivered a kick without holding back, with as much power and speed she could muster while still staying a human.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Oren

Oren leaned into the tanned girl's touch as she used Annabeth to support nearly all her weight. She clung to the cowgirl and yawned in an adorable fashion. "I will, but I'm tired now. Carry me?"


Lumen

The rather strange pair had managed to make it to a pier stretching out deep into the ocean. They had managed to scrounge up a bit of money to purchase a net for appearances sake but Lumen didn't seem to be doing much of anything as she stood at the end of the wooden structure. "So, how do you want to do this? Do you have your own special way of fishing or can I just get to it?"

[SINIB]

Noel Vermillion

Noel was holding a kitten and scribbling in a notebook at the same time. She was awkwardly attempting to hold open the notebook with her elbow and write at the same time. She was so engaged in it she didn't notice Mordred approaching, and was thoroughly surprised by her greeting.

"Hi Noel, how are you doing?"

Noel slammed the notebook shit and shook from the surprise.

"O-oh. Mordred. Hi. Don't sneak up on me like that.

[Panda]

Adjutor

Adjutor raised an eyebrow at the man's comment, the expression hidden by the armor, before deciding to ignore the comment and make his way in. Unfortunately, upon entering, he found himself being ambushed by six cyberzombies, which made short work of the teen.

The end.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Alma

The silver haired girl tightened her grip before yanking Archer closer to her. With the other one she pulled his head towards her own and roughly kissed the tanned man. Her tongue was forcefully pushed in as she dominated his mouth and almost painfully held him in that position.

Eventually she let him go and pushed him back with one hand. Then she turned to face Rin and the blue of her eyes shone a bit brighter. "He's not quite my standards but I suppose I can see why someone would enjoy him. Oh, but we've been a bit distracted, haven't we?"

The Spirit Cloth simply fell apart as she willed it to and her flawless, naked form quickly moved right in front of the magus. "Come on, Rin. We should really get to that shower. Introductions can wait, although I wouldn't really mind if he had it with us."

Archer really didn't understand women. Not at all. First, the girl had pretty much thrown him through a wall, now she was kissing him - rather forcefully and he had to say with some real skill - and inviting him into the shower with Rin. He'd reached, as he supposed the Sin-Eater he was still tethered to would put it, "Hitting the what the fuck quotient."

His mind somehow went even more scatterbrained as he listened to the girl's announcement of showering with Rin. And he was invited.

"I mean, uh, Rin, I ah, have some catching up to do, and..." A slight flush hit Archer's cheeks. "Can I at least keep my clothes on for now?"

Mordred

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that." Mordred apologized for surprising Noel who was absorbed in doing something. She wouldn't inquire further about what she wrote, but she asked instead about the kitty: "Oh, who we do have here? Mr or Ms Fluffykins?" The kitten looked completely adorable.

Lumen

They had managed to scrounge up a bit of money to purchase a net for appearances sake but Lumen didn't seem to be doing much of anything as she stood at the end of the wooden structure. "So, how do you want to do this? Do you have your own special way of fishing or can I just get to it?"

Petra

"A special way? Nah, I will just cast a net. I'm sure it will be a big catch." She reassured Lumen. After a while she pulled the net back, now almost overencumbered from the sheer weight of fish the saint caught. "Skill and faith is all that matters, I don't need to be flashy about it."
