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

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lumen

The Patchwork stared at the absurd amount of fish they had captured. They weren't even far from the shore. Where did all these fish even come from? Did they normally just gather in droves? Regardless of the case Lumen was starting to think she would only have to settle for a few fish. She would only spill so much blood for food.

Lumen took out a vial of gold liquid and swirled it around a bit. "So, I hope you have an idea on what to do with the rest of these. We can cook a few but I somehow doubt we'll be able to sell the rest."


Erica

The clothes of the blue haired girl had been torn in several places and implied some small injuries but she was completely fine. Any damage had been undone by the repair function of the Spirit Vessel and the surplus of aura from the souls that had been freed and used. She was no more hurt than she was when this entire thing began.

Now it was just her and the first stranger as the second interloper had been quickly torn apart. They stood a decent distance apart in front of the lab and she simply stared as the Mantle remained in its neutral state. She would wait and watch before acting. Rushing in could result in unnecessary damage.


Oren

The Fae clambered onto the cowgirl's back and shut her eyes. She wasn't truly tired but she also wasn't one to pass up a free ride. However, it didn't take long for her to begin tapping Annabeth's sides with her feet. Almost as if she was telling the tanned girl to start moving but was too lazy to say it.

[SINIB]

Noel

Noel lifed up the cat and inspected it. "It looks like it's a she, but I don't think she has an owner. I think I'm gonna name her um... Coco."

Oka

Oka came out of the changing room after a while with a grin on her face. She dumped a few clothes into a bin to be rehung, and returned with her chosen clothes. Pink short shorts, teal stockings, and a bubblegum pink shirt. And of course, cute underwear that had little hearts on it. After depositing them in the cart, she returned to an equally important issue.

"Now, I wonder if they sell hair dye here..."

[Panda]

Annabeth

The cowgirl quickly got up, finding that Oren's weight really wasn't too much of a problem for her. Smirking as she felt the girl's feet tapping her sides, Annabeth set off at a simple walking pace.

"Alright, is there anywhere you want to go in particular?" Annabeth asked, making her way through the streets, trying to ignore the stares. This deep in the city, the rooftops were a bit too high for the Hunter to feel like chancing using those to get around.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Garou XIII

Garou's clothes were completely torn and bloodied, turned into rags that were barely recognizable. His body was covered with all sorts of wounds, ranging from bullet wounds to visceral cuts. By all means a normal human would have passed out from wounds of such magnitude. A particularly nasty wound ran across his back,  letting a trail of blood pour down violently before stopping.

But not a monster.

Clutching at his dislocated head, he snapped it back into place, shook it for a while and kept breathing heavily for a while.  His lips curled and his mouth grew into a bloodcurdling feral smile before he stroked his bloodied cheek and licked the blood off his hand. Then, his frigid reddened body turned to the girl and his crimson eyes turned to pierce her again.

"What's your name?"

[Adella]

Tohuw Balagan

"Yay~! I won't let you down sir!" He cheered, jumping up in excitement before bowing dramatically. Then, he walked up to the castle doors and pushed with all his might, as if he was putting all the effort he could to move a giant boulder. Eventually, the door opened and revealed the castle's interior.

The demon smiled and puffed his chest in pride before walking in a cartoonishly jolly manner down the hall, urging the two to follow. Then, he looked back for a second, remembering something super duper important!

"By the way, what's your na-

And suddenly a giant spiked flail swung from over him and cleaved his upper body off, sending blood, guts, sprinkles, cake bits and candy scattered all over the halls.

Adella

So he lead them through the hall, Adella watching her surroundings attentively as they entered the castle, once their odd... reception, had pushed open the gates. Just when he wanted to ask them their names however, he blew apart into pieces, a trap tearing him apart. Adella got splattered on by a guts, blood, and pieces of food, causing her to sigh softly as she looked down her garments. An update later, the dirt was gone however, her body and clothes as good as new, before she picked up a piece of candy. "Curious..." she said, showing it to Julius, without moving forward, the flail still dangling from side to side in front of them. "...I have never seen somebody blow apart into candy." she then confirmed and tossed it away, apparently losing interest.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE

"Alright, then, no time like the present. Let's get this over with," he said, walking into the oriental establishment. Hopefully, they had Won Ton soup.

He spared a look behind him, to see if she was coming, and stepped indoors. "For two," he told the person at the cash, and the exaggeratedly asian woman nodded crisply.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

ALPHA

Alpha wandered, as she had been for the last hour, trying to find a horizon of some kind in this dense conglomeration of large buildings and blandly dressed people. She turned a street, for what must have been the thousandth time, to see a head of blonde hair with a body that was uh...

Wearing blue.

Descriptive terms failed her as she saw what must have been one of the two only recently-met people she would call friend.

She broke into a run before she even knew what she was doing.

"Noel!" She cried out, rushing towards the petite blond, who she realized as she got closer, was holding a cat for whatever reason.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

The construct carefully examined her opponent. His injuries were severe enough to incapacitate any normal human and considering how his largest wound ad suddenly stopped bleeding his body most likely had superior healing abilities. Regardless his speed was approximately equal to her and she had every advantage in range.

The moment he asked his question one part of the Mantle morphed into the Needle and released a storm of projectiles at him. At the same time Erica leaped into the air and gain distance as blue platforms flashed into existence to allow her ascendance. This was just one human, and a human will fail eventually.

[SINIB]

Nowell Varmillion

"Noel!" She heard a feminine voice call out. She spun around, to see a...

...

...

...

To see an apparently female version of Ragna?

Noel rubbed her eyes. She was dreaming. Obviously dreaming. She didn't notice the cat trying to leave. She was just—confused.

What was she looking at.

She blinked again. Nope, still there.

She slowly brought her hands up to her head and slowly removed her headband from her head, allowing her hair to fall down. Information flooded into her head as she observed Alpha.

Noel dropped the headband from the shock. And she was now positive she was dreaming.

This was absurd. This was crazier than Ragna when he'd saved her. What she was seeing was… what the fuck...

Noel grabbed her head. She felt like she had vertigo.

"Uhhhh... Hello... Alpha." She was apparently her friend, right?

[Kat]

Forest

She had managed to get Rikuyo in an arm lock right as she jumped up towards the ceiling.  The vampire bent backwards, using the leverage on Rikuyo's arm to push her up as they rocked towards the ceiling.  This meant Rikuyo would hit first, and Forest could still hold on despite the jarring impact as they made their way back down.   

Rikuyo

And so she hit the ceiling, the impact wounding her head and blood trickling down her temples. Maybe if she couldn't heal from almost anything she would get a brain damage, but this was of no concern to the girl. Still it hurt a bit. In fact, she was pissed enough to want to settle it as soon as possible. She gritted her teeth, and quickly considered how the fuck she could shake her off. They were about to crash, so maybe she should have landed in such way that Forest would crash first. She twisted her body as much as she could so she would repay Forest.

Mordred

The kitty landed on the dirt as the blonde girl started tripping or that's how it looked to Mordred. Picking up the kitty quickly so it wouldn't wander off and get ran over by something, she called out to Noel with concern. "Hey, are you really feeling well? I will call for a doctor!" The kitty nested firmly in the pocket of her jacket, meowing. There was no phone booth nearby, so she reached for a cellphone. "Please take care of her, I'll make a call." She told the silver haired girl who seemed to be her acquittance.

[Elf]

Forest

As they tumbled to the ground, Rikuyo twisted violently to make sure that Forest would crash first.  So Forest jabbed Rikuyo in the gut with her knee before letting her go and pushing her off her.  The blond twisted so she landed on her feet and charged over to Rikuyo.

Well, play time is officially over.


Rin

Well that was the most awkward thing ever, Rin thought as she ran the blow dryer, drying her long, raven hair.

Vanguard had offered to wash her back, and Rin had turned her down while Archer's cheeks matched his tail and mantle during the whole surreal affair.  She had dressed in some of the new clothing she got last night with Sakura, a pair of black  fleece lined leggings and a red sweater dress.  As she dried her hair, she looked at her former Servant and said, with a smirk, "I know who you are, and I guess we need to catch up before we go out there."

Well, play time is officially over.

Rikuyo

That stung too. The vampire was a pain in ass, but on another hand, even in her supressed rarely Rikuyo had to give her best to not get overwhelmed. So she also felt thrilled about the prospect of such challenge. A vicious grin appeared on her face as she really wanted to pay her back for all the hits she had endured. Everything was a fair game, hair pulling aside. Even so, she attempted to feign a retreat, so she could regain enough space to dash forward and try to wrestle with Forest again. And bite her because maybe she wouldn't expect such dirty move.

[MissingMandible]

Blackburn:

"B-but Ayech Cue is secured..." Blackburn sputtered, feeling something tugging at his mind, "Besides, our orders are to reach Rally Point Theta...?"

What were his orders again?

Then he remembered something: Beckett was not with Sergeant Halliday. Focusing in on that, "Why aren't you with the Sarge, Beckett?" he demanded.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

The seperated halfs of her body was suddenly drawn together reconstructing her body in mere seconds. The vampire rose no signs of her previous state remained, well besides the clothes that were in tatters exposing most of her body, that and the blood visible everywhere around them.

"I am hungry now...." she stated with an empty voice.
