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

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

After Sakura dropped off Ron at his little inadequate house, she had her driver take her home. She finished eating her food, laid down in the back, and closed her eyes.

I'll be home soon. Can you let Shirou know? Wake him up if he's still sleeping and stuff, ya know? Sakura asked Jeanne.

Sakura yawned and then took a short nap.

 About half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of her property. Sakura got out and walked up the path and opened up the door. "I'm home!" She called out as she took off her shoes.

Emily

Emily blew through the air, insofar as she was capable of doing so while being air herself, wondering just what the hell she'd been thinking. Perhaps finding out more about an unknown factor like William might have been a good idea at first, but she really should've bugged out when she realized her mind was being tampered with. Well, all the same, she'd left soon after being pulled away by those two women appearing out of nowhere, that Contract proving as useful as ever.

That whole situation was rather uncomfortable to think about, now that she looked back on it, and not just because of how off-balance she'd been for most of it. Opting to put it behind her, the changeling flew back to Liseth's place, wondering just what the taller girl had buried herself in now. Perhaps she had a point in staying inside most of the time after all...

[Kat]

Mitsuba

Curse this doll's resilience. Any lesser creature would have been by now cut to ribbons by Muramasa's and Mitsuba's combined might. And now that bloody wizard tried to pull off another annoying tricks of his. Gears surrounded Mitsuba, trapping here in attempt to crush here. The shell summoned by Muramasa started taking damage, the main body of Mitsuba in danger if her armor is completely compromised. Figuring out that using an Embed that damaged her body was still a small price to avoid more serious injury, Mitsuba slashed at the gears. Muramasa for a fleeting moment was sharper than before.

[Kat]

Julius

Ah, they looked so happy. The couple and their unusual pet. Honestly he had never seen such around. How odd. But being a witness to such a happiness just reinforced his belief that it was worth fighting so that others could cherish such moments in peace. When Sakura introduced him, he politely greeted her husband back. "It's an honour to meet you, Sir Emiya."

[Kat]

Anastasia

What a weird animal. Hmm, what she was supposed to do now? Would ordering the cat like creature work? I guess learning if her new familiar understood her speech wouldn't hurt. Maybe it could attack and scratch the other animal with its claws.

"Go and scratch your enemy!" She shouted, pointing at Oka's Pokemon, as if she ordered a soldier to follow her orders and decimate the target.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

Hah, she was now pretty stubborn in the contrast to how cowardly Oren seemed! The dragon followed her when she was still mid-air, and then her much slower partner followed up on her. She had a glimpse of the other's gimmick, suspecting it was some kind of invisible blast. That, and her relatively slow speed gave her an idea. She would transform into her second fastest form, the eel one, try to zap away from Oren and catch Red off-guard, kicking her towards the large lizard if she succeeded. Nothing personal, kid. Fights weren't fair and straightforward after all.

[Aiden]

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.

Auspicious Breeze

She was a bit spoiled for choice there, so it took Breeze a minute to figure out which character to pick! She didn't know anything about how they played, or that there was even a difference to begin with, so she was going off of appearances. Eventually she just picked one at random and gave it a try. "Okay! Let's hope this one goes well."

[yinsukin]

Joe

Joe's eye's darted around for a second.  "Y-yeah, I guess so," he said somewhat reluctantly.  Wow I sound really racist now that I say that out loud.  Still, they are scary.

He smiled as he took note of the cute gesture Rin made with her hair.  Then, his smile faded a few seconds after she finished talking.  "Wait, what do you mean your not traditional magi?"

[Thedoctor]

Neptune

"Sweet!" She gave the tall angel a big hug as he let her stay at his cool base. The purple haired goddess then gave hima curious look as he began testing the blade himself. "You could always try taping weights to the handle... No wait that would make it like an off hand weapon with an unwieldly modifier. Preettty bad idea and I've seen some bad ideas...." The goddess trailed off apparently having lost her train of thought.

Glancing back and forth between the sword and him she spoke up again. "I see what's going to happen now. You're gonna make do lewd things in exchange for the pudding aren't you?"

[Elf]

Rin

"I'm not saying become friends with any vampire you meet, like you shouldn't become friends with every person you meet, but I've found out it's better to keep an open mind," Rin said with a nod.

Then she frowned and said, "Just not around Sakura, and anyway, yeah, I'm not a traditional magus.  Not anymore.  I mean, I used magecraft openly in front of you and didn't wipe your memory afterwards.  Or kill you."

[Panda]

Annabeth

The Hunter leveled the gun again the moment she got the undershirt back on, gathering her vest in her free hand. Taking a moment to fight back the rising nausea, Annabeth got back up to her feet, keeping the gun trained as circled around him, making her way to the washroom door. The cowgirl bit at the corner of her lip as she considered her options here before letting the firing hammer click back into face, moving her finger off of the trigger.

"Fine, but nobody else finds out about what...nearly happened," Annabeth said after a moment, lowering the gun, taking a deep breath as she tried to calm her stomach.

[Elf]

Gabriel

"As long as you don't attempt to shoot me for your own mistake," Gabriel said with a Gallic shrug.

If she did attempt to shoot him, it wouldn't be the first time he had escaped gunfire, and it would not be the last.  Not to mention, he could pop in and out of his Shadows, but she could not.  So, if her bluster and clutching the gun helped assuage her own guilt, Gabriel wasn't going to deprive her of that.

[yinsukin]

Ignis

Sparks flew as the blade sliced cleanly through one of the pillars of gears.  The pillar in front of her collapsed into the rubble. Seeing her opportunity, Ignis charged the assassin, rushing the opening created by her attack. Her arms shifted into blades as she wound up for a horizontal slash. 

[Umbra of Chaos]

Meti

Mmh. Well, she wasn't really expecting that. But food was good, right? Right. Might as well eat while she still had the chance. Going hungry was the worst! It didn't happen a lot but when there weren't a lot of people around and she was just wandering it was hard to get food.

"Okay. What's there to eat.?"


Jasey

Huh? Why were Nexus people so damn nosy? This rarely ever happened back at home. People usually did smart things and stayed inside their homes and cars rather than poke at what she was trying to do. And she couldn't even kill him! Well she could. But that wasn't why she was here.

Whatever. She would just do this the old fashioned way. Then her frightening presence intensified and crashed down on the two as she just kept walking. If that didn't stop the buy she would just kill him bop him on the head or something.


Paladin

The knight did still seem a bit lost in thought but he nodded as Julius introduced himself. "Yes, we were both wondering what kind of man would have so thoroughly earned the heart of Lady Sakura. It is gladdening to see a companion so happy."

He held out an armored hand for the man to shake. That seemed to be the custom of this land. Or one of them at least.

[yinsukin]

Joe

Joe nodded as Rin spoke.  He really wanted to meet this Sakura girl, if only to put a face to all these stories.

"Yeah, ill be sure to remember that," he said with a sigh.  "Hey, that crazy skeleton never mentioned any of these rules."

For a second his pupils darted to the side, checking their position.  Its not much farther now.
