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

[Aiden]

Muramasa Katase

"Is that so?" The weapon looked out through Meti's eyes at the girl's hand with a frown. That was an unfortunate thing to hear. Nothing she couldn't fix, but she she want to expend the energy on this girl? "How unfortunate. It wasn't even really her blood."

It was... saddening, really. Especially for a girl so eager to just let her do as she pleased! This was unheard of; not even her beloved Kenzo had surrendered his body this way. It was... actually, it was beginning to make her suspicious. She began to withdraw her will from the girl's body in case this was a trap.

you can't fool me

[YOLF]

Rafalia

Truly, Methuselah had a knack for appropriate backdrops. She could already picture the accidental devastation they would sow on the surroundings. Completely unrelated to his attempt to shame her at this time course. And it would definitely be poor form on her part to flail against this cheeky opening on his part.

So she smiled and allowed herself to fall unceremoniously but swiftly into the lake, producing a small splash as she hit the water and slippled through the tranquil surface.

It stayed undisturbed after she fell, but for no longer than a second. A small hail of lights burst from the face of the lake, shot like spears at Methuselah one after another in the span of an instant, and a glimmering eruption followed as Rafalia flipped herself out of the water, landing like a dancer on the shore.

She flipped her hair over her shoulder, grinning up at the dark avatar in perfectly dry shape, a light-eating bow held at her side and droplets scintillating around.

[Panda]

Adjutor

While Gojira probably meant well, the monster hunter heard the woman the first time around. Wincing as the lizardwoman yelled, Adjutor followed her along, following along with the people quickly filing out of the building, ushered along by the piercing alarm. Part of her was tempted to smash the alarms, but she didn't even know how they worked and wasn't sure if that would stop them. Better to figure that out first before trying anything hasty.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

The Saint felt relief at not having to diclose that topic at this point. It wasn't really something she felt like talking about at all. Ah so he was asleep after all, She noticed as she looked into the room.  Sakura closed the door, obviously with the intent of letting him rest before asking her if she wanted to have something to eat.

"I would love to, if it's your making. The practice was more intense than usual and it seems like Shirou is getting worse somehow. Or maybe he's doing badly on purpose because he enjoys getting beaten up."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Meti

This was impossibly peaceful. She would need a moment before even beginning to pay attention to what was actually happening. Right now all that she needed was to act in a way befitting of a blade. Then the feeling began to slowly, inevitably vanish.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'll prove it! You can feel how much this means to me! Let me show you!

She held the sword and for a moment surveyed the area. There were enough people around, that curious instinct to watch keeping them here when one should run still remaining. She raised her arm and devoted herself in totality to the blade in her hand. Her hand was a hand that was cutting, her arm an arm that was cutting, her body a body that was cutting, her mind a mind that was cutting. Within that moment she became an extension of the sword in her hand, a pure will alloyed to its own.

Meti burst towards the crowd, ready to carve apart every person in her way.

[Thedoctor]

Neptune

The purple haired goddesss looked amused at his response and went up on her toes to give him a quick kiss. Enjoying the brief yet electrifying contact with his lips before she pulled back. The look of amusement hadn't faded as she spoke up. "Now Now Gaddy, you're just reading lines out the white knight hand book. Did ya practice infront of the mirror every morning or something?"

He was holding back something and no she didn't think it was his lust. There was something else that he was holding back. It was troubling him and she would break his shell. And by Nep she would do it.

[Kat]

Julius

"If your oaths do not allow you to join such a club officially, then I understand. You shall always be my honoured comrade, my friend." Paladin was one of the few people who shared the same earnest wish to keep the good people of the city safe. Thus he thanked God that he had an opportunity to meet him.

He realized that he had to explain his idea in more detail. " I plan to register a club for citizens who share the idea of protecting other citizens who lack ability to shield themselves from monsters and criminals. It would prudent to find a patron, though. I might be a Count by birth, but unfortunately my castle and fortune didn't end up in this bizarre extradimensional city-state."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Methuselah

The dark one looked down at the lake he just dumped the poor girl into, wondering if he didn't go too far. Shoot, what if she couldn't swim? He was genuinely worried for a second, but then he noticed bubbles coupled with a faint glow underwater.

"Oh crap...!"

He swung his left arm forth as soon as he noticed, leaving a trail of darkness before releasing a blast of shadows. Dark clashed with light, and most of the arrows were deflected, save one which grazed his face, his right thigh and his left hand.

Tch. He grit his teeth and fell, shooting down like a diving bird while his cape fluttered behind him. No, there was something different about it, like the shadows and folds of the cloth suddenly came to life. He crossed his arms and changed his trajectory so he would fly towards his foe, but if one was keen enough you could notice his grit teeth looked closer to a smile.

At once, he released his energy and sent a dozen blades of darkness flying like deadly lances towards her, each dark construct shooting from his cape with the strength to tear through a man easily.

[Aiden]

Neptune

The purple haired goddesss looked amused at his response and went up on her toes to give him a quick kiss. Enjoying the brief yet electrifying contact with his lips before she pulled back. The look of amusement hadn't faded as she spoke up. "Now Now Gaddy, you're just reading lines out the white knight hand book. Did ya practice infront of the mirror every morning or something?"

He was holding back something and no she didn't think it was his lust. There was something else that he was holding back. It was troubling him and she would break his shell. And by Nep she would do it.

Gadreel

"White knight hand book...? My dear, I wrote the volume of which you speak!" He laughed, and smiled, and yes it was a rather pleasant kiss indeed. "I am certainly old enough to have done so." She could scarcely nay say him on this point. "Would you appreciate it if I went around bragging to other ladies that our lips had touched?"

He had no idea of what hidden intentions lurked behind those eyes. None whatsoever, truly.

[YOLF]

Rafalia

She laughed at the danger and twirled between the lightless edges, flying between heartbeats to draw her ebon bow in Methuselah's direction. Three of his weapons cut through her cloak like it wasn't there, but she waited for his offensive fearlessly.

Starlight whistled towards the dark god with the strength to pierce through solid walls, and three more arrows awaited release to skewer the space around him if he attempted to escape.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Methuselah

Too fast, she was truly a remarkable one! As she drew her bow, he retaliated by instinctively waving his right arm forth, his fingers crackling with crimson lightning which formed into a great crimson orb of dark energies as soon as her starlight projectile neared his heart, taking the brunt of the impact.

The clash pushed him back ever so slightly, and he could feel his hand burn from the discharge of so much energy at once, but the projectile was soon sucked into its core before being released towards the fae with even greater speed. He needed to keep pressuring her, to make sure she didn't take control of the battle. He raised his arm theatrically and snapped his finger as soon as his counter was released, not wasting an instant. He was slower, much slower, so he needed to keep her on the guess.

In that moment, oddly enough, the shadows of the trees and the forest almost seemed to bubble.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin smiled at Joe's question and then sighed.  "A little bit.  I need to start getting the rice ready."

As she started the preparations to make fried rice, she eyed her shrimp and tilted her head.  "You know, I wonder what the hell is in Nexus's ocean."


Forest

Marcus's hand went to her back from her rear before he looked Forest in the eye.

And then he said something ridiculous that made the vampire giggle.  She eyed him and asked, "Why would I want your virtue though?  I could have your blood instead you know."  She leaned forward, going to his neck before placing her mouth to her ear.

"I'm pretty sure I'm not a cherry boy hunter," Forest whispered in his ear, "Too much work."

[yinsukin]

Joe

Joe turned the rest of his body around.  "Everything," he retorted with a chuckle.  "I heard they even have sea monsters out there."

He walked back to his seat so that he wouldn't be in Rin's way.  "I'm surprised you've never seen one before," he said, resting his elbows on the table.

Marcus

The moment her otherwise cute giggle traveled through his ear, he realized something.  He messed up.  She had officially thrown him off his game, or at least put him against the wall.

However, it was her final comment that set him off.  "I'm pretty sure I'm not a cherry boy hunter, too much work."

He turned his head away just as he was beginning to blush.  Then, he cocked it towards his shoulder, exposing his neck.  "Fine!" he said somewhat defensively.  "If your not interested in my virginity, take my blood."

[Elf]

Rin

"I generally don't go looking for sea monsters in the ocean," Rin said with a grin as Joe got out of her way as she began frying the rice.  Deft, practiced motions allowed her to flip the rice by tossing it up and catching it, without missing a grain.

She tilted her head and said, "As someone from an island nation, I'm just glad we have fresh seafood.  Easier access to beef is nice too."


Forest

Check, but no mate, Forest thought to herself as Marcus turned his head away blushing.  His tone came as defensive as he offered her his blood , but she noticed he didn't let her go.  Without knowing what his glowing purple aura meant, she wasn't sure what he was capable of.

She grinned and then reached up to tousle his dark hair.  "It'll probably be more fun if I took both," Forest said before moving to push her off of him, "But right now you maybe a little drunk, and I'd want you fully aware."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Costin

The dead apostle smiled and nodded, finishing half of her ice cream herself. She soon found that she wasn't quite in the sweet mood just yet, and couldn't bring herself to finish it. Aah, how deplorable, maybe she should have borrowed that vampire a leg or two. Oh well...

"Here, you can have it." She said casually, handing her her half cup of strawberry-chocolate parfait. What a good, generous friend.

She jumped out of her bed and went straight for he wardrobe, opened it, and dumped clothes on the bed one after the other. Just what sort of devious intent did she hold against the poor innocent Rikuyo, to present such scandalous dresses and coats?
