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

[Umbra of Chaos]

Numina

The cultist felt something slip into her ear as she sent waves of truth spilling all around and almost snarled. Then it spoke a command to her, and that didn't help her attitude at all. She grabbed onto the tentacle with one hand and began yanking on it to try and get it out. She might be grateful but she wasn't going to let her head get violated by anyone. Still, she directed the knowledge up instead of all around her. It would be best if her transportation didn't go insane.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin smiled as Sakura nudged her in return and the light came back in her eyes.  She then spoke of them; that disgusting worm and Shinji.  Zouken had been given something precious in Sakura.  She should have been the key to the Makari salvation; bringing the Tohsaka line in should have been the jolt to bring the Matou family back into glory.  Sakura should have been properly trained and cared for, but Zouken abused her and worse.

Then there was Shinji, who was lucky that he was already dead or Rin would have gone after him herself.

"Calling them 'pets' would be an insult," Rin said with a smile, "They're much more complex than that, but they think and feel just like we do.  However they're a lot more powerful."

She turned to Sakura and said, "Also, we met someone very interesting today.  Apparently the Church even has their Keys here too."


Gabriel

Gabriel smiled at Emily's request and gripped her hips.  "I can concede to that," he said with a grunt before lifting her hips up.  Her scent filled his nostrils and he let go of any sense of control.  Arching his back, he started to thrust hard, using all of his strength.

The bed started to squeak and groan under the force of his thrusts.

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

It was brief but Medaka managed to catch the slight disappointment on the vampire's face.  However, before she could react, Sakura's disturbed curiosity caught her attention.  Her relaxed calculating face turned into slight discomferture.  "Oh im sorry.  Thats personal information.  Well back in my old world, I read a book on spatial reasoning.  Plus, im really good at math."  The blue haired girl's head shifted to face Shinobu.  "Of course.  I confirmed them when you took off the top."  She said with an air of confidence.

[Panda]

Emily

Emily yelped as she felt him lift her up, soon finding herself gasping as he started pounding into her with all the force he could muster, the bed creaking under them. The new pleasure threatened that last scrap of rational thought she had left in her, overwhelming her with each passing moment until she was practically meeting with ecstasy.

Then, at last, the last vestiges of lucid thought were washed away as white flashed in her vision, the Changeling arching back with a cry as she clamped down hard around him. Emily went taut for all of a few moments before finally collapsing, letting him take care of her just as he'd promised just now.

[SINIB]

Oka

Oka kissed Jin on the cheek. "It wasn't really a good time, but Rider helped. I met some prick named Dante who was a giant creep and seemed to enjoy scaring the bejeezus out of me." She said, wrapping her arms around his chest.

"Can you unlock the door, though, before we talk more?"

[SINIB]

Liseth

She raised a brow at the mention of a bodyguard and let out an amused snort at a harem. Although, part of her felt a bit nervous afterwards. Was that offensive to people? It was just a joke, right? But any fear like that died down as Sakura continued without interrupting or showing any distress.

Her face did look kind of weird and uncomfortable when she talked about her family but Liseth was sure it was probably fine. The gamer started paying much more attention when the purplehead mentioned magic though. "So you mean like pets? Or are we talking about something bigger than that?"

Rin

Rin smiled as Sakura nudged her in return and the light came back in her eyes.  She then spoke of them; that disgusting worm and Shinji.  Zouken had been given something precious in Sakura.  She should have been the key to the Makari salvation; bringing the Tohsaka line in should have been the jolt to bring the Matou family back into glory.  Sakura should have been properly trained and cared for, but Zouken abused her and worse.

Then there was Shinji, who was lucky that he was already dead or Rin would have gone after him herself.

"Calling them 'pets' would be an insult," Rin said with a smile, "They're much more complex than that, but they think and feel just like we do.  However they're a lot more powerful."

She turned to Sakura and said, "Also, we met someone very interesting today.  Apparently the Church even has their Keys here too."

Sakura Matou

Sakura giggled as she opened the door for the two and let them in, simultaneously sending a mental order to the bugs to not kill or harm Liseth. "Haha, Rider probably wouldn't mind being called a pet." Sakura joked to Rin before she became serious once more. "But no, they're leftovers from something in our world called the Holy Grail War. Why don't we go inside before I give the full rundown, though? It's a bit nippy out there."

[Thedoctor]

Jin

"Still you have my thanks for that." He said to Rider as he wrapped an arm around Oka's waist pulling her closer. "Mhm I'll open up now, I put it there to stop thugs from breaking in."

He took a step closer as he begun removing the Ars barrier, strange symbols appearing in the air for a brief moment as he did so. The barrier shone brighter for a moment and then faded away allowing him to open the door. Letting his guest in he then closed the door behind them. "So how did the two of you meet?"


Jeanne

She drew back slightly and released her grip around him. "Alright if you say so. I'll have to pay you back later then...Anything you'd like?" One of her hands drifted around his back and went down past his hips and stopped by his thigh, waiting there for the moment. "I know, I'll give you a nice massage later~"

[Aiden]

Gadreel

Anything else the fallen angel might have said, thought, or done came to a startled halt as the abominable, unutterably familiar sensation of the Taint washed over him. T'was a miasma not of malice, but of wrongness, a misalignment of frequencies at the most essential layers of God's reality. It was foreign, that which did not belong, that which Gadreel the Wall of God had been given form to monitor and oppose before the formation of the earliest stars.

It was the breath and blood of what mortals referred to as a Mad One. The blasphemous revelations imposed onto reality by it unraveled the outermost layer of his sense of security before the angel could force it away, and let him momentarily shaken.

Gadreel's hand fell to his sword, and his eyes turned sharply to the direction from whence it came. His face twisted into a scowl. "I see even here I cannot escape this filth...!"

He began striding out of the liquor store so that he might make haste to the site of the intruder's introdus. He shouted back to his companions in a deep, bass voice. "Either be ready for this, or leave. If you know not what I speak, then you are certainly not ready!"

The exile did not wait for them. He could not.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Mary

"It's called like that because it's made quick to be eaten quick. It's also easy to carry around if you're in a hurry and can be eaten pretty much anywhere any time. It's also pretty cheap..." She replied methodically, gazing at the display menu through her glasses to analyze each and every option.

And then she turned sour, as if she suddenly became sick.

"Ugh, $11,99 for a Bigmac combo!? What a ripoff, this isn't what McDonalds is about." She moaned in displeasure like a whiny highschool girl, cursing the calamity that is inflation. Back in the good old days inGod blessed America, this would've been $2!!!

Thus for what seemed like minutes, she went on a tirade about how the Nexus economy was terrible, how cheap food should remain cheap, how the sanctity of the king of fastfood had been desecrated by greedy capitalistic jews and yadda yadda yadda. Once they arrived at the cash, she was already crushed and defeated.

"I'll have a happy meal with cheeseburger." She said tiredly. "That will be $2,79." Said the waitress cheerfully, and thus she reached for her pocket hesitantly and pulled out the money. Before long, her sad excuse of a meal was delivered.

"Thank you, have a nice day! "

[SINIB]

Misaka Mikoto

"Sorry, but if you think I can just step back and let you handle this on your own, you've got the wrong idea." The sound of electricity sparked around the room as she turned into the door, to see the perpetrators. Her eyebrow twitched at the woman's word. "Mess...?" She asked, anger obvious in her voice. "You call what you did out there a simple 'mess'?" A mass of black particles began to gather around Misaka and swirl around her. At the same time, the sword in the woman's sheath violently blasted away from her, tugged by a powerful magnetic force.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider smiled as Oka and Jin continued to cuddle each other affectionately, Oka explaining to him what had happened before asking him to open the door. Weird rune-like symbols appeared in the air as he disabled the magical barrier Rider had detected earlier, before opening the door and showing the two of them inside.

"So how did the two of you meet?" he asked once they were safely inside the house.

Rider turned to him, a smile on her face.

"Well, I was on a date with that moron Oka mentioned, and she showed up. The three of us got talking, then he acted like a collossal moron and frightened Oka off, so I dumped him and went after her", Rider said, frowning slightly at the memory.

Ugh, if she hadn't shown up, I might have actually ended up going out with him, Rider thought, disgusted by the concept.

She turned to Oka, a smile on her face.

"Thank you for showing me what an idiot he was", she said. "If it wasn't for you, I might have ended up going out with him."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Liseth

Rider? What kind of person would go by Rider? Well, it wasn't that strange she supposed. It was still kind of weird, but she supposed she could just ignore it. She walked into the house with all the confidence of someone who had done so a thousand times before. Every panel of wood and chunk of wall was familiar to her. She didn't really bother saying anything seeing that she had nothing to say.


Alarice

The noble stood silently and regally next to her companion. Her hold loosened a bit as there was little danger to be found in any eating establishment, but she was still guarded enough to strike a man down before he could reach to draw his weapon. Thankfully, such tactics weren't necessary and Mary received her meal without too much issue. Alarice didn't have much to say as she ranted but the blonde did nod and make some attempt at paying attention.

[Elf]

Rin

"I think if Rider had her way, she'd keep Ayako or even me as a pet," Rin said with a mock-shudder before rolling her eyes as they walked into the house together.  Her stomach knotted up for a moment; not because of Sakura, but because every bit of her balked about staying here despite this being her sister's place.  It felt off too her.  Enemy territory she shouldn't be entering.

She quelled the sensation and smiled, lifting one finger.  "Yes, the Holy Grail war, a mythical battle where epic heroes are brought back from the dead to fight a battle royale to win a wish granting prize.  Or at least, that was the cover story."


Gabriel

Each thrust brought the Shadow closer and closer to completion.  He could feel it cracking though him as that familiar pressure became greater and greater.  Emily's very obvious bliss bubbled up through him right as she shattered.

Her velvet walls clamped down on him, milking him, enticing him.

Then that very dam broke and he arched before swelling for that last push.  Then he emptied his hot essence into her all too willing body.  He held her tight with a groan as he poured himself deep inside of her.


Forest

Before Julius could reply about Forest's little joke about his whip, she felt an invader try to enter her mind.  Try to feed her some sort of knowledge that was thoroughly believed in.  The vampire gritted her teeth as she erected her mental defenses before trailing the source of the violation.

Her skin crawled and her stomach churned while her head spun.  Thankfully, she wasn't emphatic, but she could feel all the disjointed thoughts and madness spreading through the minds of hapless shoppers like a plague.  Whoever was doing this was infecting minds at a staggering rate with whatever - the glimpses that Forest could get reminded her of some pulp fiction she read years ago - they were sending. 

Then Gadreel's handsome face turned into a scowl as he said, "I see even here I cannot escape this filth...!"

The fallen angel then charged out of the liquor store, leaving Forest with Julius.  Biting the inside of her cheek, she realized it would be better if she didn't charge forward to punch whatever was doing this.  She looked at Julius and said, "I'm going to go help him."

Then she took off, following Gadreel.  She began to steel and center herself as she sent to him, I'll see what I can do about this physic backlash and maybe block whoever's doing this.  Just be careful, okay.

The blond headed to the center of the mall, climbing up on one of those decorative statues that had no form.  Once she was perched on top, she sent out her own mental call with the intention to hypnotize them into forgetting what happened and to leave without harming themselves or others.

[Panda]

Emily

As Emily was sent flying over that wonderful peak, she cried out as she felt Gabe swell inside her for a brief moment before his seed spilled into her anew. The Changeling soon found herself filled with that now-familiar burning warmth once more, sagging as the pleasured haze swept over her. Even so, she could feel some of him already starting to leak from her core, Emily groaning and trying to hold herself closed, but it was in vain. She was simply too exhausted now to muster the effort, sagging forward onto the bed as she gasped for breath.

It had been amazing, all of it, but the Changeling found herself too exhausted to say so, resolving instead to do so at the earliest opportunity. Even so, she couldn't help a senseless little smile as a feeling of contentedness swept through her, nothing mattering for the moment but Gabe's presence. Not any of today's events, none of the bad memories that had been stirred up as a result, none of the tense moments, nothing but him inside her registered to what was left of her ability for lucid thought.

[Break]

Coppelius
The man's grin sent shiver's down Coppelius' artificial spine, but he ignored it in favor of the intriguing words following it.

"Something special, you say? What might that be?"

Had he known, his curiosity would one day lead him on the path to destruction, he surely would still act the same.
