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

[Aiden]

Liam

"Well, I normally wouldn't start pushing for this sorta thing on a first meeting," the mobster pointed out before he offered his opinion, "but how long have you been in this strange little city for? You found yourself work, a church for Sundays, that sorta thing?"

He let the young lady whose heart he could hear pounding so close next to him lead the way, slowly. Liam wasn't in any rush after all. They'd get to her place one way or another.

[Kat]

Petra

"I've not been long in this city. Since the morning. I don't have regular job and as much as I'd like to pray, I haven't passed by a church yet. Except the one burned down. Sad thing, isn't? It's like either nobody cares or people are unable to stop this. That's really a pity." Petra said in a sad voice. Rumors had it that the church was burned down by some madman few days ago. This was really godless and dangerous place. She really would like to do something about that, but not before getting her life together. The saint was too stressed recently to handle the situation.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Oren

There was something empathetic in Oren's eyes as Mordred spoke. An understanding, even if their circumstances had been different. Of course, the Fae didn't resist when Breeze pulled them all into a hug. She even pet the warrior girl on the head in thanks. And if her smile was a little brittle, well, who would notice? "Thanks, Breeze."


Lucy

As the saint wandered away Lucy decided to make herself at home. She had to come back at some point, right? So she sent Mammon to watch her from a distance and had the rest of her Messengers go through the minds in the building until they found which door led to the girl's room. Then she just had Asmodeus unlock it and the blue eyed girl settled right in.

One of them brought a deck of cards from another flat (the owner was currently having a fitful nightmare) and they got engrossed in a game of poker. However, because money was a bit short and all of it belonged to Lucy anyways they tried different stakes as they played around the table.

If anyone walked in they would see an interesting sight with Lucy's stockings, top, and several buttons, pieces of fabric, and string on the table. With just her bra, shorts, and panties she gave the mutilated Messengers dark looks as the game progressed. She would win! She'd already lost once to a cheater, and it wasn't going to happen again!

[Aiden]

Liam

"And you already gotta place to stay? You're mighty resourceful, Miss Petra," Liam said to her with a nod of his head. "But don't let be said people can't do a thing. It's all a matter of willingness."

He had heard something of burnt down churches before, but hearing it from this young lady like that darn near broke his little dead heart. He'd have to do something about that. The complicated bit would be finding another priest. Well, he'd break that kneecap when he found it.

"Best I can say then is, sit down and have along talk with God. As for the jobs... you got any skills? Bright lady like you's bound to have a few she can earn a decent wage with."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Mobb Boss

Mobb could feel his heart flutter with joy, he was saved! What a relief, he thought he was done for a second. But in the end, it seemed that [LUCK] trumped all once again. What a lucky guy he was, hehe.

"I see, how bizarre..." He muttered as he climbed down the downwards ladder. He took her words into careful consideration and pondered. Then, he sighed in relief and turned to face her.

"Then you must be a princess from another dimension. Thanks a bunch!"

[Kat]

Petra

A talk with God? Gee, if he only knew...

"Ah, come on, if I were so bright like you say, I'd have some higher education or something. I can fish and I used to beat up people when I was teenager. That's really not something giving me great perspectives for finding a job." The saint sighed, knowing all too well that she didn't have knowledge to have some fancy white collar work. Like probably the gentleman he was so kind to escort her.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

After hearing Shirou's approval, the saint snatched one of the wine bottles and presented it to him. "This looks good don't you tihnk?" She then opened before promptly putting it to her mouth and tasted it. The taste was absolutely divine, and it was strong, really strong. She didn't know if Shirou would be able to handle this, but they shall see.

Lowering the bottle, she jumped onto Shirou's lap while pushing him down into the couch, her mouth closed on his as she kissed him, letting some of the wine that she'd kept in her mouth go into his.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider sighed at his response. Amusingly, though, despite his obvious insanity, he wasn't actually that far wrong. She was, after all, certainly from another dimension and, whilst she was not a princess, she was a fallen goddess. Still, despite him having stumbled upon something vaguely resembling the truth, she could tell that talking to him was going to be taxing and, after pondering what to say for a few moments, she decided she simply couldn't be bothered to correct his false impression, especially since she had no desire to explain her true nature to him right now.

"Eh, that's close enough, I guess", she responded with a somewhat-forced smile.

Then she held out her hand.

"I'm Rider", she said. "Nice to meet you."

[Elf]

Rin

"Twins eh?" Rin mused with a sigh and then chuckled.  "I wouldn't know how to deal with that.  I think just being sisters would be nice enough, you know?"


Gabriel

"Well, I am in a tub with you.  I just didn't exhaust you and leave like I am wont to do.  Once I get a place and settled in, I can bake for you," Gabriel said with a grin.

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

Sakura tugged on her sleeve playfully. "Come on, it'd be fun!" She insisted with a wry smile and wrapped her arm around Rin's neck, waving the other one out. "Sakura and Rin— The genius magus sisters."

[Elf]

Rin

Rin laughed at that and said, "That would be a lot of fun actually.  Start work together on various things.  Maybe even become magi for hire."

[Aiden]

Liam

"Let me tell ya something, miss - you're never too old to learn a thing or two," the secretly centennial vampire said, grinning in the night. "And I'd say, from experience, you got plenty of foundation to build on there. My father ran a woodworking shop, and I got my hands dirty plenty there."

Liam made a proper fist with his free hand, and held it in front of himself but away from Petra. His knuckles under the streetlights were the sort of a man who'd been in scraps himself. "Ain't a dumb woman in sight if she got any skills worth using like that. Just gotta ask the right questions of the right sorta folk."

It was gonna be pretty simple to fix this girl up with some honest work in a couple nights. He'd just ask around, find the right people she could sell to, put a few 'directions' in their noggins so she'd have a market. It'd be enough to keep her goin', long enough to give Liam a sense for if she really had a future like this - or if he'd found a candidate after all.

[Panda]

Emily

The Changeling allowed a warm smile at that, leaning her head back a bit.

"Well, you do have a point there," Emily admitted, "Though I think I'd like it if you could show me how to bake as well. I do have a place, but it's a bit on the temporary side to be honest."

Oh right...I never got around to letting Mordred know I'm fine. Ah, I'll have to do that when I get the chance...and also apologize for molesting her in the shower.

[SINIB]

Rin

Rin laughed at that and said, "That would be a lot of fun actually.  Start work together on various things.  Maybe even become magi for hire."

Sakura Matou

"We could dominate the Nexus with time, create a newer, better, Magus Association. With blackjack and hookers." Sakura joked to Rin.

[Kat]

Petra

"Ah, so you climbed up the ladder even if you started low. That's quite impressive. Yeah, maybe I should be more ambitious and not doubt myself." Petra nodded in agreement. She couldn't help but notice that his hands looked like someone's who got into fights a lot. So they got not only working class origins in mind. "Huh, so you've been into quite a lot fights? Is your job dangerous or that was a thing of the past?
