Cross Effects 3.0 - June 23, 2016—April 02, 2018

[Aiden]

Muramasa Katase

Katase would have caught those, too, but her kimono was just constricting enough for her legs that she was only able to catch half of the food with her free hand. Her leg was... unavailable for the task. Rather than complain about something as inconsequential as food and dropped plates, she placed the side she could catch onto the table, and stepped over a plate to wrap her shell's arms around Kenzo.

"There, there..."

She had heard from humans that wives were supposed to take care of their men because they were foolish creatures who lacked in so-called "common sense", despite their other qualities. This was honestly to be expected. It didn't matter; he had already given her so much in the short time she had known him.


Ron

The werewolf put an arm around Rikuyo to support her better once it was clear she was feeling pretty sick. He picked up on what was wrong after a moment and nodded. "It could have gone worse," Ron pointed out to her in a soft voice. "You could have stayed in it too long and threw up."

He shifted back to his fully human form and started rubbing her back, attempting to sooth her. "But you didn't. So don't let it bother you, okay?"

Ron smiled.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Sakagami Kenzo

Kenzo wallowed in Katase's embrace and smiled. It wouldn't help to worry so much now, it was foolish of him. She had already accepted him, so it didn't matter if he showed her her happy, sad, pathetic or ugly side. She wasn't human, just like him. And because of that, she understood, and she accepted.

"Let's eat." He said kindly befire turing around to give her a quick kiss.


Darcy Hugh

The burnt man was laying atop an operation table naked. Next to him was Dr.Crossford, an infamous surgeon that had been called Plasticfingers in the underground, due to his various bodily modifications. When it came to plastic surgery, he was a genius. Of course, his prices reflected such things, but there was no issue anymore.

"Are you sure about this? You might not survive such a difficult procedure. Even with all the tools at my disposal, your chances of success are slim..."

"Well, you already have the money don't you?" A chillingly calm but irritated voice responded.

"Very well, let's begin."

And so, the insect-like robotic arm standing over the man's shoulder  fiddled with the plastic and began to work it's art.



"It's lovely." A woman purred contently, smiling in satisfaction before the mirror presented to her by the surgeon. "Excellent work. And the clothes?"

"Right here sir." The doctor answered, presenting her with the garnaments she had commanded and paid extra for. However, as soon as he said that the woman looked once again displeased.

"Well, I have no reason to stay here any longer." She sighed before getting dressed. His new body was something that could only be described as generous, with ample curves that would make most men turn to admire it and most women boil in jealousy. However, his movements were cold, almost detached.

That is, until his face regained once again a cheerful smile. Once dressed, the girl- for he now appeared as such, embraced the surgeon into a hug and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you for the good work, doctor!" She said cheerfully. Then, she turned away and walked in a relaxed swagger, much to the blushing doctor's confusion. But it wasn't until the door was slammed shut that the surgeon noticed a strange feeling. He felt hot, too hot. Even with the heater, the temperature outside shouldn't be enough to warrant such an overwhelming heat surge. It kept growing stronger and stronger, until he felt like his body was on fire.

It was strange, he had turned 75% of his body and most of his organs into puppet machinery of plastic and metal, he should not be feeling such things any more. And yet-

Before he could even realize it, the entirety of his plastic components, connected from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet in a single piece of reliable machinery, burst into flames and exploded. He didn't even have the time to realize what happened, for as soon as that happened he instantly died.

"Idiot." She sighed dissappointedly before going on her way.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Uh, okay, I just won't make same mistake again..." She said dejected, before Ron started rubbing her back, including the neck. It really felt nice and comforting. If she had a wall a tail right now, she would clearly wag it, but she wouldn't risk shifting before she knew if she was allergic to chocolate in any other forms. "You're really good at this, Ron-kun~" She muttered smiling as Ron continued giving her a backrub.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Oren

The Fae giggled as she was lifted up and placed on the taller girl's shoulders. She stroked Breeze's cheek and whispered, "That wasn't really what I had in mind. But I guess we can do that later, hmm?"

Her tone was rather innocuous but there was something sultry lingering under every word. It was something that was even more difficult to ignore with the healthy flush to her skin and the light wetness that was leaking down from the dark haired girl's inner thighs and onto the blonde's neck. She looked as if she was about to say something else when Stick Man came back up again.

She hummed and made a show of thinking about his apology. Then she smiled, and the smile was not quite harmless nor predatory but something that hovered perfectly in between. Something that could mean anything. "I guess I forgive you, Stick Man. We should go to one of those big stores and get my clothes. Then you can start training Breeze!"

[Kat]

Julius

"World wars? Do you mean a war spanning continents? There was a Seven Year War where my ancestors fought on the losing side. Not only the conflict encompassed Europe, but also America, Africa and Asia. Pretty much a pointless war over colonial possessions. Losing so much lives over Canada and Caribbean islands was not worth it. Not to mention all those pillaged towns and arsons." And in the end his country neither lost nor gained anything. Another meaningless war waged in name of squabbles between irresponsible rulers. He didn't really understand why Americans would choose to become a republic over a monarchy, but he did see some point to their anger over the war.

[Elf]

Forest

Forest bit the inside of her cheek, glared at Gadreel despite the tiny grin she couldn't quite hide.  After all, he was flirting with her and she felt bubbly and light because of it.  Excited in a way she hadn't felt in centuries.

She replied to him, My mother was a redhead, thank you very much and Scottish.  Not Irish.  Wrong bloody island!

"The wars that he's talking about were worse.  A lot worse," Forest said in a soft voice with a shake of her head.  "There are some wars that are fought for reason and then there's wars where it's a giant mess and just a senseless waste of life."


Corbin

"Well," the corvid dhampir said tilting his head, "It just depends on what you want to do.  Or what you like.  I mean a lot of people go to Golden Rule, but I think that's pretty shitty.  Oh, look, this giant phallic symbol of commerce, oohh . . ."

Corbin snorted and shook his head.


Gabriel

"Do you want my cock that badly, Emily?" Gabriel asked with a smirk as he rubbed against her.  "You're barely coherent.  If I keep this up, you just might become mine."

[Aiden]

Muramasa Katase

Her puppet's face grew warm from her wielder's spontaneous display of affection, but that was all. Katase adjusted her sword's position, and took her seat in her appropriate spot for the occasion of their first meal together. Right on her wielder's lap.

With an appropriately satisfied grin on her face she took up a bowl and got started. "Itadakimasu!"


Ron

She reacted to his touch like a cat or something. It was kinda cute. He was in so much trouble right now. If this were a comic or TV show this would be the exact moment where Anne would show up to catch Ron doing this and then take it the wrong way. His luck was not so great that he'd avoid this!

So doomed.

"Guess it comes with being a big dog," he said, sheepishly, ducking his head. He took the time to slowly remove his hand from her now that Rikuyo was calming down. "Feeling better?"

[Thedoctor]

Kuro

"The only thing this guy is senior in is age, he's probably older than he looks, that's why he's trying so hard to be cool." Kuro said while nodding, proud to have figured something so important about Corbin. Not like that guy would ever show off, he was all talk after all. The last thing he said catched her a bit off guard however. "Phallic? Isn't that....oh."

[Aiden]

Gadreel

Yes, she was clearly born on the wrong island.

Age and cunning, dear Forest. Never underestimate age and cunning. Humanity may be the destined master race of the cosmos, but Gadreel still had as much to teach as he had to learn from them. Yes, even from those unfortunates who had their spiritual development delayed through immortality.

His words to Julius were less... amusing. "Suffice to say that the development of semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms, an evolution from the single-shot musket, as well as advances in artillery were very ill-received and utilized in the first half of the 20th century."

Then the angel shook his head. "I will endeavor to find you some literature on the subject when I can, Sir Julius. The wars are quite a substantial topic to take in, and best done from an academic perspective."

[Kat]

Mordred

"Honestly, Corbin. If you associate mere skyscrapers so readily with male genitals then be glad that Freud doesn't operate a clinic in this city. But who knows, maybe he is. I doubt anything will surprise me, I've run even into Dark Ages knights here." Mordred crossed her arms and commented on how Corbin's mind was ready to associate stuff with human anatomy. Maybe he was quite starved.

[Kat]

Julius

"I cannot say I'm completely surprised. Few centuries before my time small armies fought pitched battle with armored knights and crossbow wielding militias. In my age soldiers marched in thousands, many dying from musket volleys within hours. Honestly, as time passes the world needs even more heroes. Even if Earth's scorched by some unbelievable horror of war, brave people with right mindset will struggle against the cruelty of this world." The times, like eggs, were hard. If he had a wish, it would be that God would bless him to become a savior of this century's beginning. He didn't need to look around too much to see that the city needed any help it could get.

[Aiden]

Auspicious Breeze

The Solar just grinned up at Oren and winked, before turning to face Michael. Ahh, having some fun with a cute girl cheered her right up! The smile didn't go away. "Thank you!" she said ahead of time, nodding to him a couple times. "I'd pay for it all myself, but I don't have any marks and my mistress doesn't have to pay for things so I didn't have her stuff either."

She almost shrugged, but then remembered she had an Oren on her shoulders. Okay, it was hard to forget; she was all wet and she smelled nice. "Well, let's get going!" Breeze said before she could get tempted to just find a nice tree that wasn't on fire and play with her.

Huh, she wondered if the cute fox girl's tree was in that forest. She hoped not!

[Elf]

Forest

The blond glared at Gadreel and nudged him ever so slightly with her elbow.  Well, you . . . you were born on the wrong island!  You're lucky I like you or . . . well something!

After that cunning remark she just sort of smiled at Julius' comment. "Brave people do struggle with the evil and nastiness in this world.  It gets bloody, they get lost and abandoned, but they still fight for what is right for those who can't," she said with a shrug, wondering if he'd agree with her vigilante lifestyle or actually praise her for it.


Corbin

"It's a giant gilded tower.  It even has a domed top.  If that's not over-compensating I'll eat my shirt, and I've seen a lot of over-compensation over the years.  I mean, why the hell would the bloody magnum and muscle cars become so popular if it wasn't for the fact that blokes are uncomfortable with their dangles," Corbin said with a snort.

Then he looked over at Kuro, folded his arms over his chest, and said, "And you should respect your elders, Little Bit."

[Panda]

Emily

Emily managed a weak grin at that for all of a few seconds before the feeling of Gabe rubbing up against her folds brought a soft moan from her lips as a buzz of pleasure surged through her.

"W-well, maybe I want to be," Emily managed to get out with a blush, squirming under him as she looked away, "So long as you feel the same way...Besides, I want to be on top this time, let you have a bit of a rest."

[Aiden]

Gadreel

The exile assiduously affected apathy to Forest's subtle retaliation against him for his thoughts.

The angel sighed at all the talk of heroes. He longed for the day when humanity could be its own. Not that the humans were lacking in heroic individuals, by any means. Such individuals were, however, lacking in numbers. "The best way to help someone, is to show them how to help themselves. But if someone points a firearm at their cranium, well, I can hardly argue the necessity of averting the shooter's aim."

He averted his eyes toward the alcohol available. "Perhaps we should purchase something a little more... recent, as well?"
