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

Shinobu

The vampire threw the couple a look as they accused Medaka of intentionally hiding her abilities. Judging by what she had seen from the girl that didn't seem very likely. "I am sure Medaka-chan did not mean anything harmful by it."  She then took a step closer to the blue haired girl before suddenly wrapping her arms around the girl's soft waist. Pulling her into yet another hug, this time face to face. "Maybe we should inspect that bedroom Medaka~"

[Umbra of Chaos]

Liseth

The dark haired girl slipped comfortably into another chair opposite from the side that Sakura was sitting on. There was a slight slouch to her posture that she was sure someone would have chastised her for if she was at home but she felt comfortable enough here. She considered the ideas of magical familiars and wishes. It sounded pretty far-fetched, even for magic. Although, the idea of servants was...

Something resonated in her with that idea. A thought that pushed the machine inside into a grinding motion. Servants, servants, servants. They could be really helpful and could keep her safe when she's alone, but servants sounded so demeaning. What would be a better name?

But as gears spun into eternity she snapped her attention back to the conversation with a bit of a shock. Kind of like someone who was about to fall asleep but suddenly woke up. She tried to think of something to fill up the silence and make it look like she was paying attention. "Aren't wish granting things kind of silly though? You can't know if something can actually grant your wish until you've won the prize, and there's always the chance you put all that effort for nothing. Besides, almost every myth and legend always makes those kind of things sound like they'll screw you in the end."

[Elf]

Rin

She started unbuttoning her coat as she looked at Liseth.  "Yes, it didn't work.  It should have worked, but someone summoned something they shouldn't have as a Servant."

Rin sighed, turned to Sakura and said, "Her name was Petra.  Or at least she said her name was Petra.  She also knew quite a bit about magi and magecraft, and she makes me think she knows more than just, 'I fight Dead Apostles for the Church'."

She met Sakura's eyes and said, "And a guy we were with at the beginning, even though he was a bit touched, mentioned the name 'Saber' and he wanted to beat her.  So your cadre might not be the only Servants in town."


Gabriel

The Shadow was breathing hard, but he slid out of Emily and cradled her to his chest.  He rolled so he was on her back and she was pillowed on him.  Smiling, he stoked her hair to allow her to recover.

After all, he was fairly sated for now.

[MissingMandible]

Operators Gone Wild (18+):

The two pilots knew that the groundpounders were compromised. As they weaved through the city streets, they prepped the weapon systems for a possible fight.

Screeching into the alleyway, the miniature Pelican bathed the tango with the  headlamps. The Co-pilot brought the forty mike-mike to bear, all the while feeding targeting data to the ANVIL-II missile racks. The blondie unfortunate enough to be in her cross-hairs will soon meet her maker...

Hold fire!

The order was sent into their comms from the lead groundpounder herself. Dissappointed, the co-pilot sent back a reply: You sure?


Positive.

The Squad Leader, though suspicious, was willing to give the blonde woman a chance. That, and having her tie up the food bag and latch it onto the Pelican would save them so much work...

She told the others to keep their weapons trained on the woman, then stowed her SMG away. Pointing at the food bag on the other side of the dumpster, she proceeded to do various hand gestures hoping that the instructions would register.

Julius

Something insidious encroached on Count Julius Richter's mind, his mind blasted with blasphemies that would only come from some satanic being, in language that he could not comprehend. Not that wanted, as nothing good would come from words spoken by a wretched hellspawn. People around were going mad, and his hands trembled, reaching for the crucifix. The only logical refuge was devote himself to the God Almighty, the only being worth devotion in this world. His faith would be his shield!

CRUX SACRA SIT MIHI LUX! NUNQUAM DRACO SIT MIHI DUX. VADE RETRO SATANA! NUNQUAM SUADE MIHI VANA! SUNT MALA QUAE LIBAS. IPSE VENENA BIBAS! - He started shouting on the top of his lungs in attempt to ward his soul and mind against the corruption of the infernal beast.

The voices noticeably lowered in volume though he could still hear them. But his faith in God Almighty did not falter. The God gave him a sign, as he could smell stench coming from a direction where Lady Forest and Ser Gadre headed.

That smell was that of a villain!

The holy man marched even if each step was made with a conscious effort on his part. He wouldn't stop. He couldn't be negotiated with. Not until he punished the villain who was responsible for the atrocity.

[Panda]

Seras

Vampiric senses soon picked up the sound of the approaching...aircraft? That thing was way too tiny, but it bathed the blonde in light, bringing its weapons to bear all the same. Frowning, the vampire's tied-off sleeve exploded into a mass of shadows, the sharp tendrils of shadow moving behind Seras to shield her from incoming fire. Unlike whatever it was that that sniper hit her with, the vampire doubted the aircraft was loaded with paintballs.

The apparent leader of the soldiers on the ground, however, brought the vampire's attention away as the tiny soldier came forward, stowing its weapon and making various hand gestures indicating...something. Upon closer inspection, the vampire spotted a small bag of food on the side of the dumpster, giving the soldier a confused look for all of a moment before realization dawned. Taking a moment to judge the distance, the vampire got her thumb under the steak before flipping it up like a large meaty coin, landing it perfectly in the bag nonchalantly.

"You sure you don't want to get some more food?" Seras asked, "It should be easy enough."

Part of her was hoping that they did, at least if it would give her an excuse to break something. That fight with that man had reminded her all too well of something vital. Regardless of all her efforts, she was a monster, and had been for a long time. So there was no reason she couldn't indulge in a little senseless violence every now and again...

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Hah, shy one?" Rikuyo commented as Ron got red like a tomato. "Don't worry, I'll treasure a gift from you, Ron-kun."

If he got so shy and distracted around her, Rikuyo couldn't help but exploit that for shit and giggles. She wrapped her arm around his neck, leaned closer and said with a grin. "Ya get so shy around every girl who kisses you? C'mon, maybe ya need more practice~" Then she rested her other hand at Ron's hip, dangerously close to his bottom and crotch alike. Who knew what she would do next.

[Panda]

Emily

Exhausted as the Changeling was, she couldn't help a groan as Gabriel slid out of her, part of her already missing the fullness that she'd grown a little accustomed to already. Emily sighed contentedly as he pulled her back against him, the warmth of his body spreading to her as the warmth of his essence settled inside her. Unable to help a slight yelp as he pulled her back, resting her on his chest, the Changeling couldn't help a contented little smile as Gabriel lay her, stroking her hair as he waited for her to recover.

"...That was..." the Changeling drifted off, unsure of what to say next. To simply say it was amazing would be to cheapen the experience, but at the same time...

"...Thank you," Emily said after a moment's pause, "I really needed that."

[Kat]

Mitsuba

That was unexpected. And honestly Mitsuba didn't like when unexpected things started happening around her. This girl was unexpectedly potent in power for someone who claimed to be a psychic person. Or she lied to her, and could have been one of those individuals who claimed to be mages. They often wielded powers even beyond the understanding of the Unchained, but they were as prone to blow themselves up. The demon only sweated internally because she still didn't want to out herself as someone weak in front of her opponents.

Misaka-san knocked the sword out of and it was floating against the ceiling on the other side of the room. Seems like the oaf got enraged for a moment about the girl disarming his woman. He is bound to do something stupid if riled up enough, and she or Misaka-san could exploit.

"You know, if you think apology is enough, you are out of your mind." She pointed her sword in their direction. "I will stop you and bring you before the local court. Just fixing the inn won't be enough. I will claim the sword of yours until you fully make up for your crimes." That was certainly a beautiful sword, and it looked like it would be a fine addition to her collection. She didn't know why, but she really felt like it would suit a swordswoman like her. "Human or not, you still scared away people with your foolish games."

She assumed her stance. No wasteful movements, or readily visible openings. From now she focused on the battle alone.

Liseth

The dark haired girl slipped comfortably into another chair opposite from the side that Sakura was sitting on. There was a slight slouch to her posture that she was sure someone would have chastised her for if she was at home but she felt comfortable enough here. She considered the ideas of magical familiars and wishes. It sounded pretty far-fetched, even for magic. Although, the idea of servants was...

Rin

She started unbuttoning her coat as she looked at Liseth.  "Yes, it didn't work.  It should have worked, but someone summoned something they shouldn't have as a Servant."

Rin sighed, turned to Sakura and said, "Her name was Petra.  Or at least she said her name was Petra.  She also knew quite a bit about magi and magecraft, and she makes me think she knows more than just, 'I fight Dead Apostles for the Church'."

She met Sakura's eyes and said, "And a guy we were with at the beginning, even though he was a bit touched, mentioned the name 'Saber' and he wanted to beat her.  So your cadre might not be the only Servants in town."

Sakura Matou

Sakura frowned at Liseth's comment. "I don't think wanting a wish to be granted is a silly thing at all. I wouldn't have—" escaped my torture otherwise. She finished in her head. She was glad she'd caught herself. She normally wouldn't have ever begun to reveal what she'd been through to anyone, but here she was nearly spilling it to a total stranger!

"I'm sorry." Sakura said, "I don't know what got me so worked up." She wanted to bow, but restrained herself, fully aware of how odd the custom seemed to foreigners. Uncultured swine She thought before turning to Rin and smiling.

"I know Saber's here, she's the police force's resident moron. I'm surprised they haven't gotten around to firing her, with all the stupid stuff she does." Sakura paused before continuing. "This Petra though, I've never heard of her. She must be really new here." She mused to herself before blushing and redirecting her attention back at Rin. "She might be a ranking member of the church, or even something more… but we should probably entertain our guest, rather than musing about such things right now. Would you like some tea?"

[SINIB]

Jin

So they two of them had met while Rider was out on a date and Oka had crashed out. It seems like it had turned out for the better however. Oka also appeared interesting in learning "magic", but he doubted she had the actual devotion to learn it. "Not really, learning Ars Magus is a dedicated process that takes a long time, it requires you to have real devotion to it. You don't just wake up one day and can do magic."

Oh right, he couldn't just ignore their guest, so he turned to the woman called Rider. "Would you like to have anything to eat ot drink?"

Rider

Rider chuckled slightly at Oka's excited question to Jin, finding the girl's enthusiasm cute and endearing, and wondering if she realised she had been talking to a magical being. At the same time, out of the corner of her eye she noticed another little creature watching her somewhat nervously. It looked somewhat like Sylveon, with the same, unusual, ribbon-like tendrils next to its ears, but it was obviously a different species, albeit a related one. Sylveon, following Oka into the house, walked over to it and they began making strange noises, presumably conversing with each other in their own language.

Whilst Rider was watching this, Jin addressed Oka, chiding her a little for her somewhat spur-of-the-moment attitude to magic, something Rider could fully understand given Sakura's experiences, and even Rin's. Then, he turned to address Rider, asking if she would like some food or a drink. Turning to him, Rider smiled.

"Yes, Oka mentioned something about pizza, if that's OK with you", she said.

Then, she turned to Oka.

"Hmm, is that another one of your Pokemon?" she asked, looking in the direction of Sylveon and the creature it was talking to. "It looks a lot like Sylveon, are they related somehow?"

Oka Kurosawa

"Awww, I'll practice hard! I promise? Can't you at least see if I have the aptitude for it with some test?" Oka begged with large puppy eyes, tilting her head and trying to generally be adorable. That is, she was doing that until Rider noticed that Sylveon and Chuck were talking and also genetically related. "Ding ding ding!" Oka said. "You get a gold medal Rider, they both evolved from an eevee! Sylveon's the fairy type evolution, and Glaceon is the ice type! But you're not right about him being mine, Chuck is Jin's pokemon."

Saying that name out loud still made her groan internally.

[Thedoctor]

Archer

The man in red was enjoying the calm he was now expriencing. Sometimes just watching tea get ready could be relaxing. It seemed like Sakura had brought the guests to the the living room, from what he could hear Rin had brought someone else with her back. He didn't have much more time to muse as the tea was about ready now. He put the teapot along with 3 cups on a plate and went to the living room.


When he arrived he noticed Sakura and Rin sitting in chairs talking to each other, along with another dark haired woman who was rather tall. "I've made some  tea for you." He said while holding the plate with the teapot and the 3 cups. He then turned to newcomer "I believe we haven't met before, I'm Archer."

[SINIB]

Jeanne

The blonde hand move teasingly over his inner brushing past it as the hand moved up. it moved all the way up to his crotch stopping just before actually touching it. Her hand was instead rubbing back and forth slowly in the same place. "You're so cute when you're embarrassed."

Shirou Emiya

Shirou continued blushing, and looked around, trying to ignore the fact his member was visibly hardened, and that Jeanne was so attractive, and how hard it was to resist fooling around with her now that Sakura had given her consent.

"Le-let's just find some drinks first, before we do this, ok?" He asked, no, begged her.

[Lycodrake]

Lycodrake Aptera

"Very well. Erm, MORTAL, I DEMAND YOU TO GRANT US ACCESS TO A MOVER!!" He ordered the lady with a fiery roar.

"Very well, that will be ten dollars for a ticket."

The incredulous lord cried out in outrage, fire and flame bursting from his terrifying armor. "T-TEN!? YOU IMPUDENT MORTAL, HOW DARE YOU DEMAND A LORD! YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR ARROGANCE!!!!!!"

"H-Here!" He mumbled, holding out twenty dollars that were so graciously lent to him by a couple of his gentlebones.

"Would you take a popcorn and soda with that?" She asked.

"OF COURSE!!"

The dragon felt further exasperation at the Count's antics, for he couldn't take the skeletally-armored man seriously after he had fanboyed at not one but two dragons. Granted, the wingless one had no room to talk when it came to Bellatanus. Either way.

"Um, Count, do you even know what a mover is? And must you be so loud? I am not speaking of it to scold you like a parent, but to consider others around you, myself included." He pleaded for a volume change. He really didn't like noise, and the Count seemed oblivious to how upsetting it was. Granted, he had scared the humans with his mere presence which brought no small amount of shame and dejectedness to the young dragon.

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Jin shook his head at Oka's enthusiasm. Puppy eyes wouldn't work on him, he was a professional. "It would take hundreds or thousands of hours of learning depending on how good you are." he patted her head in consolation. He then turned to Rider "Sure take as much pizza as you want, the taste might surprise you though!"

Sylvaeon and Chuck were chatting to each other, that reminded him. With how many so called evolutions these pokemon had, there was no telling how many of them there actually was. "How many different types of pokemon are there even, eevee seems to have a mutliple different evolutions, do al pokemon have that?


Jeanne

She didn't mistake the visible bulge in his pants, Jeanne couldn't help but giggle at how fast he got hard. "But Shirou you look really pent up, are you sure you don't want me to help?" Her hand trailed up from his thigh and travelled across the length of his bulge, applying gentle pressure along it.

"But I think you're right, it's about time we started looking." She pulled away from him, her hand leaving his crotch as she walking towards a shoppin district.
