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

[Kat]

Mordred

Breeze took the initiative and started playing with the controls. She managed to reach the character selection menu.

"You should use this stick to move around that thing called cursor. Then press that button to select a warrior over whom the cursor hovers. No need to rush, pick whomever your like." Her girlfriend advised. The selection was quite wide, but fortunately it had quite sizable number of female characters. Whoever made this game they certainly didn't ignore the fair gender.

[Thedoctor]

Neptune

"Need any help with that? I don't really have a place to stay and well..." She trailed off at the end, distracted by something else. The purple haired goddess had stopped swinging the sword she was holding around and turned to him. "I'd say this one's badly made. The weight is all unbalanced, too much of it is put in the handle. Here have a try Gaddy." She offered the broadsword to him in order for him to have a try.

[SINIB]

Jasey

"Yeah, yeah, have a good day and everything." Jasey took back her phone and gave Noire a little wave as the black haired girl went her way. Wherever that was supposed to be. Now then...

The spider popped back up on her shoulder chittering rather intensely. "I know... But I don't wanna do her. She's kinda cute, y'know? And seeing them at your place just isn't the same. They're all crying, or fighting, or in despair or something stupid like that."

Her finger tapped her chin. "But you're right about one thing. Just scaring her would be kinda fun if she doesn't freeze up like a rabbit." She reached behind her back and pulled a hockey mask out of nothing. Then she just slapped it on.

Ahh, that really felt good sometimes. The killer stretches a bit and cracked her joints before turning her view inside out and seeing the world through the twisted reflection of the Shift. She could still make out the faint flow of the dark haired girl's soul from here.

Then she just waited a bit for reality to twist and turn and walked forwards before vanishing in a slight distortion of darkness. Here she was all but flying, a barely substantial force wearing her telltale mask moving across the land towards her target.

The murderer peeled her way through reality behind her target as the air suddenly grew chilly and a tenseness saturated the area. Then she emerged, striding out of the dark with a terrifying presence and inhumane disposition that made the idea of her being Jasey irreconcilable.

She stared for a moment, an almost murderous intentness that was directed right at Noire. "Damn, she's cute even from this side."

Noire

Noire almost jumped in terror and surprise at the sudden appearance of the monstrous person standing in front of her. All her hairs stood on end, and she pulled out her sword from her belt, brandishing it at her foe. She could tell at a glance that in her current state, she stood no chance of defeating this monster.

Even so, she couldn't back down. As Lastation's CPU, she couldn't show fear or weakness. Never ever!

So Noire readied her blade, bit her upper lip, and glanced around for an escape route. She was going to get out of this alive, damnit. Or better yet, beat them. Maybe it'd be weaker than it looked.

Joe

Joe couldn't help but smile as he felt Rin's surprisingly soft hand against his.  "Well, no promises," he said, lightly tugging her towards him.  Then, he guided her outside.

As they walked down the sidewalk, he turned his head to her.  "So, how about you actually tell me about this sister of yours," he said with a raised eyebrow.  "Is she like a gang boss?  She uhh, seems pretty connected."

[Aiden]

Sakura Matou

Sakura nodded. "Alright, I understand. Take as much time as you need to discuss it." She said, but with a hidden undertone in her voice implying that sooner would in fact be better.
"I can take you home now, if you like. Just tell me your current address and we'll get there in a jiffy."

Ron

"I'll try not to keep you waiting then." He smiled to Sakura, then nodded and rattled off his address to her. Well, current address. It was easy enough to find because it was above the only bakery in that particular neighborhood, so there was no way they would miss it. Ron certainly wouldn't when he moved out.

Baked goods had lost their luster compared to fresh game.

[Panda]

Annabeth

The pleasant sensations running through the tanned girl only lasted until Gabriel's words properly registered. A hot stab of something that wasn't pleasure this time around pierced the Hunter around the same time a sudden chill ran over her, like someone had just dumped the proverbial bucket of water on her.

Wait a minute, the hell am I doing?

With the illusion broken, Annabeth pushed the man away with all the force she could muster in her current situation, short of bringing her Nen into play. The cowgirl then dove for her pants, pulling her revolver from its belt holster and bringing it to bear on the man with unerring speed. For the moment, however, she was hardpressed to keep her aim steady, a combination of anger, confusion, and mild nausea assailing her as she tried to keep her focus on the present and not think about having to explain this to Ron. At least not yet.

"Okay, three seconds," Annabeth said, voice shaking a little, "The hell happened?"

[Elf]

Gabriel

Gabriel didn't stumble as he was pushed back and went to grab his own trousers and underwear as well.  If anything, he was completely nonplussed at the fact he was naked with a gun held on him.  Not too long ago, that was a fairly regular occurrence. 

As he tucked things into place, he answered, "You were the one insistent on coming here.  I believe you had too much to drink and . . . well, were not thinking properly was the case."


Rin

Rin smiled and said, "Most of Sakura's business dealings are legal.  Let me just say she has very deep pockets and is very generous about sharing her wealth with the right people."

Her nose scrunched up and said, "She also has this irrational hatred against vampires.  And has a cadre of servants at her beck and call."

[yinsukin]

Joe

Most? He thought to himself.  Yeah, she still sounds shady...

Joe's raised eyebrow was replaced with slightly pursed lips.  "Irrational?  Aren't vampires bad, like werewolves?  Why wouldn't she hate them?  I mean haven't you seen the news?  Apparently they are a real problem in lower class neighborhoods." 

[Panda]

Michael

For the first time in a while, Michael found himself feeling rather perplexed. It had been a while since he'd had to act as a parent, and longer still since the child he'd been entrusted with was such an odd bird. With the lesson he'd just literally pounded into her, the immortal felt he'd be better off giving her some time to absorb the drills rather than trying to put her through more. That aside, with how he could guess the girl's upbringing had been, it was the least he could do to let her see something cool.

It was with that in mind that Michael had led them to a local amusement park, the familiar sights, sounds, and smells already drifting in. A pair of day passes were soon wrapped around their wrists as they entered, the immortal looking around at the various attractions and game stalls, concession stands, and, of course, the rides, ranging from sedate little merry-go-rounds to the obligatory adrenaline-junkie bait rollercoaster that looked like its riders risked death whenever they got on.

"Well, after today's lesson, I figured we might as well try something that would probably be new for you," Michael explained, "Where would you like to start, Meti?"

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

Her flush deepened as the man stared into her golden eyes and demanded that she should take off his pants. Before she could process his sudden command, the man had already unclipped her bra and flung it away in the direction of Medaka. He immediately begun working on her breasts, tracing their shape and sucking on her hardened nipples.

While it did feel great, he had a lot of nerve thinking he was in charge all of a sudden. The blond vampire grew irritated and forced him down on the bed with her superior strength.

However she did do as he say and moved backwards bringing his pants down with her. The length he'd been hiding was indeed impressive. The blonde vampire grasped it in her small hands and began giving it slow deliberate strokes. "When did I give you permission to order me around Human? How much pleasure you will be given is up to me. Do not forget that."

[YOLF]

Methuselah

Methuselah looked like he was deeply absorbed in his own thoughts, trying to come up with an answer to Rafalia's question. His eyes closed, his serene expression turned into an ominous, mischievous smile.

"Hmm, I could start with eating your chips."

As soon as he said that, a pitch black snake-like tendril emerged from his shadow and went straight for the prize, fully intending on snatching a good couple of tasty snacks from poor innocent Rafalia's bag, bringing them back in the palm of the culprit's hand. And it did, oh dear lord it did, much to the dismay of the witnesses and children. Without a shred of mercy or compassion, he devoured them one by one much like a demon devours daughters and wives.

" *crunch* Forgive my callousness, but allow me to answer your question with another question. *munch* What would you consider an ideal peace?"

The dark god turned to face her with his moon pale face, closed eyes staring at her expectantly.

Rafalia

It was fine if he wanted to snag a few chips. She completely understood their appeal and would not condemn him for this audacious action! What was a picnic without sharing some food with your friends, even more so when you had more at your disposal? But the question he made made the excrucian pause to look at him, swallowing what she had in her mouth at once.

"Ideal peace?" She asked, tasting the words in her mouth before she licked her lips clean. "To know that every gesture on your path, no matter how foolish or shortsighted it might be, will have meaning. To live in a world where you can accomplish your dreams, no matter how impossible, and to rest at the end of your journey absolutely knowing it had worth, and that your resolve is rewarded always."

Her starlit eyes focused back on her sandwich, and she grabbed a handful of chips to put in her mouth. Rafalia's smile stretched delightfully at the taste.

[yinsukin]

Short dude+Medaka

Oh god, I went too far.

The man's eyes widened as he was pushed onto the bed.  Her strength was both surprising and terrifying, even if he already assumed she was physically stronger than him.  After all, she had such a slender frame, especially compared to his own stocky build.

He stared upward at the icy cold eye's of the blond, his pupils dilating with a sudden jolt of fear.   He probably should try to keep her interest if he wants to get out of here unscathed.  She might want sex now, but what if she changes her mind?  He will have to figure out her tastes quickly if he wanted to avoid sharing the same fate as the pirate from the stadium.

"Haaaa..." he gasped as she stroked his length.  It felt like she had a lot of experience with this.  Her stokes were perfect, causing his already hard rod to strengthen in its firmness.  "Th-then, umm, how may I please you miss?" he said, his voice going back to its meek state.

Meanwhile, Medaka slipped her hand into the moist opening underneath her suit.  She wondered if this reaffirming of dominance was an intentional part of Shinobu's power play.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Oren

An roar of pain erupted from the beast as the energy engulfed her head. It blasted off several scales and ruptured one of her eyes, but the dragon was far from beat. She could withstand far more than this.

Oren's remaining eyes shifted over to the girl as she moved through the air. She had to tire eventually. The Formless One was certain that she would not. And if the girl could somehow predict her movements then there was no reason to stay below for now.

So the dragon charged towards the other shapeshifter and readied herself to dodge another blast before launching herself into the air to bite the girl in half.


Jasey

The killer actually laughed a bit when she saw Noire raise a weapon at her. It wasn't that it couldn't be threatening but the dark haired girl just seemed kinda adorable more than anything else. Of course, a laugh from her right now was more of a chilling exhalation that was barely louder than a whisper but it would do.

Then she just began to walk towards Noire, a machete suddenly appearing in her hand. She was slow, steady, and if anything she only seemed more intimidating as she approached.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Meti

The girl had left her cart back at the lot along with a few other vehicles as she followed Michael into this park thing. People were riding around some connected cart things and mechanical horses. It seemed so... dull. "Why are we really here?"

[MissingMandible]

Gojira:

"Oh?" That was an odd statement. Why couldn't she just put the bucket down?

Gojira dropped that lien of thought - it was ultimately irrevelevant. She pulled out a drawer and grabbed a few items. "Very well then," She said while unfurling some wax paper, grabbing and wrapping each fish. She placed all but two of them in plastic bags.

"Well, then," she said while washing her hands a few moments later, "Sit down, relax a little. The meal will be done shortly."

The She-Monster bent down and grabbed a frying pan. In truth, this was the first time she actually ever attempted at cooking. Why must others over complicate such simple matters such as eating food? The flesh was there, just eat it. Regardless, it was only just a one time deal anyways. It shouldn't be too hard...

Gojira placed the pan on the burner and turned the dial to "high". All she had to do was wait until the metal was hot and throw the fish on. Simple. Easy.
