CE 3.0 2017-2018

[Kotomine_Rin]

Costin

She lost sight of the two for a split second, but it didn't matter. The man telegraphed too much, and while the vampire bitch was good enough to move out her range she forgot one fact. A person needs arms and legs to attack, but a monster's entire body is a weapon of destruction.

She spun before the runt landed on him just in time to catch her axe between her neck and her shoulder, sending a gash of blood splashing all over but hardening her body enough that it wouldn't move any further in or out of her body. Meanwhile the bullet lodged in her cranium, but while she couldn't harden fast enough it did not penetrate her brain. They were really good to do this much damage, but they weren't prepared. As they were she could kill them both easily, though it might take a little too long.

But both were good, damn, this was the stuff that turned her on like a Christmas tree. Ahh, but trees should have branches, and decorations! She'd look lovely with their guts wrapped around her stakes she just knew it.

"Phew, not bad." She whistled with a pleased grin, grabbing the axe lodged in her body with her arm and squeezing hard, sending more gashes of blood and gore spraying all over. She sniffed and snorted.

"Hah! Silver? What do I look like, some fucking werewolf?" She laughed before crushing the axe into shattered pieces with a bloody hand as hard as metal, and immediately released dozens of bloody stakes from her body to impale both.

[Elf]

Forest

This blood ability is a fucking problem, Forest thought to herself as Costin caught her axe with her body.  Or rather, her crystalized blood.  The other vampire removed the axe from her body before crushing the axe.

Forest didn't have time to correct the other vampire in that it was steel, not silver, as Costin readied bloody spikes of her strange blood to launch at both her and Marcus after his reckless as hell attack.

Costin was fighting as a monster.   

Forest let red bleed into her vision as she felt her own fangs begin to lengthen and throb again.  Costin grew spikes of that crystalized blood like some demented sanguine porcupine.  The smell of it was thick in the air, and Forest wondered just how much she had and what would happen if Costin happened to bleed out.

Or her own blood used against her, Forest thought, suddenly regretting she hadn't taken up magic other than the fire spell she knew.

Instead of reaching out to strike Costin, Forest hit not Costin, but aimed one swift strike at two spikes, one for the right and one for the left hand.  It was a hard chop meant to shatter it away from her body in the hopes that Forest could collect them to use against her.

Rin

Rin felt Joe watching her.

Admittedly the attention was nice.  Joe himself was nice.  Yet doubts and concerns were running wild through her mind as the credits began to roll.

She nodded at his suggestion and flashed him a smile.  "That sounds nice," Rin said, remembering her promise to make sure he got home safely.

[yinsukin]

Marcus

The blade sliced cleanly through his body.  His eyes widened with pain, while blood overflowed, rushing down his lips like a crimson waterfall.  He actually blacked out for a split second, his field of vision blinking back into focus as his arms slammed into her chest.  If he still had his dick, he would be happy right now.  Of course, he couldn't actually feel anything and the crushed metal flew into his abs and chest, extracting even more blood from his body.

"See thats the problem with hookups!" he roared, pushing the gun barrel into her throat.  With his other hand, he grabbed her by the skull, sinking his aura claws into her head.  "We can't bond as well!"

I could copy her power... he pondered. But he didn't want to.  Truthfully, part of him was scared to do it.  Those bloody things destroyed her body, tearing at her flesh just as she tore at his.  If he actually fought her one on one, the battle would last forever.  While he had an insane amount of pain tolerance from getting his ass kicked, hers would outlast him in a prolonged battle.

With the barrel of the gun pointed at her neck, he pulled the trigger, sending a bullet into her flesh. "Besides, a werewolf would howl more when I put a bullet through her chest."

I don't want to lose, not before I pay her back for killing me twice!

Joe

His smile grew wider when she agreed.  High off of his own giddiness, he shot up from his seat, extending a hand to Rin once he reached the top of his ascent.  Once he pulled her out of her seat, the two walked down the isle and into the hallway.  The sudden difference in light became apparent, especially with how the light reflected off of Rin's skin, something he was becoming even more infatuated with the more he looked at it.  Her hair seemed to gleam as well, the thick black hair standing out beautifully in the light.

"So I probably don't even need to ask what you thought of the movie huh?" he asked, poking her playfully on the shoulder.  Her arm felt nice, a tight and toned.

He realized now why he was so enamored with her beauty before.  Why did I not fap last night? he thought as his mind instantly flashed through all the stupidly attractive women he had met today.  It was only a second, but he glanced down at Rin's body as he waited for a response.  It was like he was on a date with a fitness model, except better.

[Kat]

Anastasia

"It'll be boring if I just say inside. I can go outside, you may fill in me with what I should now. You were kinda in hurry back then, right?" Perhaps he would've run out of time if he presented her the whole picture. "Are you interested in our plan, Paladin? It's fine if you're not, I'm already in your debt."

[SINIB]

Jeanne

She had just finished cleaning when those two arrived, what impeccable timing they had. She shook her head as Sakura teased Shirou. "Now Now Sakura, it's unbecoming to tease your husband to that extent. He just found himself unable to restrain his vile desires any longer, so he took them out on me in your absence." She turned to them and gave them a bit of a tired smile.

"Rin has brought an... interesting man." She paused as she thought about how she should continue it. "Much more accomodating than her regretfully."

Sakura Matou and Shirou too

Sakura was going to make another teasing quip about Shirou and the ass thing. It wasn't as if she was mad, and she actually secretly agreed, Jeanne did have a great ass. But she held off in responce to Jeanne's tone.

"What did my sister do?" Sakura asked her mentally with some real concern, as to make sure Rin wasn't listening in on them discussing her behavior. One could never be too careful. "Yeah, I met him myself, he seems like a nice guy, but Rin has filled him with all sorts of misconceptions about my work, I think." She said with a big shrug, giving Jeanne a hug before she went to assist her with finishing up the cleaning, which Shirou followed. He could tell something was up, but stayed silent.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Paladin

He shook his head. "No, I believe I will stay home for now. It is important to keep one's health in mind, and I will not be able to continue my current duties in my state. I think I will just stay home for a little while and clean up."

[YOLF]

Mason

The boy giggled and said, "I don't know if I can make it that big.  I would run out of magic quickly."

Mason touched the ground and ran forward, drawing a glowing line in the concrete.  It would take a few minutes, but once he drew a border, he would be able to make a barrier that could contain even the boss's strength.

Lorenzo

The pirate snorted at the girl's witty retort before nodding with satisfaction. "You're right, where are my manners? I haven't even named myself." He said  before leaping down the roof, falling down freely before sending a gust of fire downwards to cushion his fall.

Flames spiraled beautifully around him like feathers before fading, a grand entrance for a grand man one could say, but there was a certain otherworldly quality to the flames littering his body and the shining embers in his eyes that went beyond the common man. And with that out of the way he threw his arms to the side. "Well, Sir Smokey will do for now. Now, pray tell, how much do you like gold?"

Irene

Their seemingly casual dismissal of her obvious suspicion was returned in kind. Before her eyes even glowed with ferociousness, Irene jumped ahead of the kid and stamped out the line he was drawing with her foot, cracking the pavement beneath her.

"You shouldn't ignore a woman to talk among yourselves," she said, fangs lengthening in her mouth. "Two strikes, three and you're out."

She looked at the burning skeleton again. "Your intent doesn't seem so straight to me, sir. But to answer your question, there are greater lusters in the world than gold. I can only like it so much in comparison."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lorenzo

"Gee, and I thought I was hotheaded. It's not that easy for me either, y'know?" He shook his head and rubbed his temple at the needless show of violence, but he couldn't quite hide his anger perfectly. His voice was as casual as ever, but his flames grew much, much hotter when she cracked the pavement, the sort of sign that told someone to stay. Away.

He wasn't too worried that she'd do something to Mason, because if she touched a hair of his he'd burn her to ashes. Or maybe just half of her, he had to bring her alive after all. That aside, he did like her boldness and her honesty, as much as it would be a pain in the ass for him he respected her enough already.

"Mason, next time try to be more...ahem, subtle. I was trying to get the attention away from you." A fiery creature concealed in the boy's hood called out to him in an affectionate whisper, the sort you'd give when scolding a nephew you just couldn't stay mad at.

He put a hand on his hip and walked up to the girl, his scorching teeth clenched into a wide grin.

"And indeed, gold and all that jazz gets boring after you see its shine for so long. I always had more of a liking for gems, like emeralds. But man, what a pain, my first job and I already get my hands in trouble like this. At this rate, I'll have to choose between one or the other." He tipped his hat playfully, then pondered for a bit. 

"My hand's as unlucky as yours, but my cards aren't exactly terrible for this situation. Still, I feel bad for you, there are some gold coins you would have been wiser to stay clear from. Well, I guess the same applies to me. I'll be honest, I like you, so this situation doesn't exactly strike me fancy. We've bot got shit luck, but it just so happens that you picked the losing side. See where I'm going?"

[YOLF]

Irene

She hid her sneer behind a melodious humph, crossing her arms and stepping closer to him, leaving no threat aimed at the boy he called Mason.

"If you lament your luck before your own failings, then any gold you'll find is a fool's, and same goes for all who can only look at the shiny surface of things," she retorted, lips curling upwards. The true losers were men who could only live by such material creeds. "I would have liked to not take you for such a hoodlum, but it seems inevitable, is that what you're saying?"

[YOLF]

Butler

He nodded pleasantly as he followed, slaking his analytical thirst on the well groomed environment of Suzuko's home. It was almost a bit too comfortable, but he had no reason to judge so soon. It was not as if he was normal, and if she had any unusual circumstances, then by her own words she would share them. But more than that, an employer must have discretion and he was here to sell his services in the best way he could.

Butler steepled his fingers on the table and faced her expression with his gaze before beginning. "Such as it is, I am well aware that in this exceptional place there is no shortage of demand for someone with my talents, or more than human constitution. I've served many in physically demanding ways, not to the exclusion of my mundane skills, but lately I have seen myself in the service of somewhat crass goals or employers. To put it simply, I seek a change of pace. My work may be my joy in life and loyalty my anchor to people, but I still have my preferences and moods."

His voice resounded lighter when he angled his skull at her, looking as though he was smiling faintly from the perspective, macabre a picture as that may have been if one was not prepared.

"I wish to have a smaller and more earnest role where I can be counted on. I wish to offer my support in spirit, body and mind for the well-off but straightforward life and needs you seem to have. As fortune would have it, your request found my eye, despite or perhaps because of its steep demands for dedication, and I was curious to learn more."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lorenzo

The pirate shrugged. "I hate to disappoint, but I suppose so. Bah, I guess this is the part where I dump you in a bag and laugh my merry way back to the headquarters, but..."

The pirate sighed and rubbed the back of his skull as if annoyed by something. "I'm just not feeling it. If it were up to me, I'd rather have a drink with you, a toast to a fine lady or something. But, hmmm, well I guess there's no point in bitching about it at this rate."

He hummed melodiously, putting a bony finger on his chin before resuming.

"Say, I don't suppose you'll be a good girl and come along nicely will ya? Bosslady says you have history with her, not that it's my business, but at the very least I'd like to not disappoint two ladies in one night."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Suzuko

Well, he certainly didn't seem to be a fool. And in spite of his appearance he managed a surprising amount of eloquence of charm. She nodded along with his statements, but despite the relaxing nature of the room she never seemed to entirely let her guard down.

"I see. I can't say that I'm not sympathetic. There are forms of business that some wish to refrain from after all. But we should settle on some basics first then, hmm? List for me your qualifications, please." Straightening a slight slouch as she did so.

"Once that's done we can go out and have a field test of sorts. Full pay regardless of what actually comes of it. And then I'll be able to make an informed decision then."

[Panda]

Adjutor

If she hadn't had that near miss with the energy beam earlier, the monster hunter might have been surprised when Gojira collapsed the storefront with. As it was, she was still caught off guard by that, a slight frown coming to her face as she re-evaluated their situation. Definitely would've been a better idea to explain the line of sight part to her earlier. Emerging from her concealment to catch the lizardwoman by a shoulder, Adjutor glanced back towards the manager's office before speaking.

"Next time you're going to do something like that," the monster hunter said, seemingly unfazed, "Warn me. I need line of sight to use shadows, so now this is going to be tricky."

Supporting the monster woman on one shoulder, Adjutor practically dragged her limping companion back to the kitchen as quickly as she could, turning the lights off as listened for the pounding of boots and the sounds of their weapons. Moving up next to the rear doors, Adjutor quietly pushed one of them open with a metal tendril, the strand barely visible against the door even to her eyes. With the light coming in casting them both in shadow, the monster hunter took a moment to set up one end of the link in the shadows they now stood in before focusing her gaze, finding an alleyway across the street from the restaurant and another one across the street from that. Taking a moment to set up a link to the second one, the world around them slipped into the familiar blackness for all of a instant before they emerged from the shadows of the more distant alley, still with her companion in tow.

[Panda]

Emily

The redhead winced a little at the lavender-head's pout, already feeling a bit worse about holding out on the woman like this. At her question, however, she quickly perked up, pulling out her phone and quickly setting up a new contact for Rider to fill out.

"Yes, that would be lovely," the redhead quickly said, handing the woman her phone.

[Kat]

Mitsu

"You're a very trusting person, willing to accept so readily someone whom you know for hours. Even with those bizarre tests and trials you had me go through, you're so hasty in making a decision. Maybe it should be my turn to test you before I give my answer?" The Unchained asked her host. She shouldn't just expect a straight answer from her after such a short time.
