Cross Effects 3.0 - The Third Time's the Charm? The Velvet Room (NSFW version)

[Panda]

Adjutor can't help but stare at the curious flames, eyes alight with no small amount of wonder before Forest's next statement forces him to look away. The teen's eyes widen further at the show Forest makes of removing the boot, and he can't really help but stare at her stocking-clad leg for a moment before practically tearing his eyes away, suddenly finding his drunk much more interesting.

Then Lorenzo's statement draws his attention, and Forest's little display holds it. The teen looks at the vampire for a moment before shrugging, unfazed by the changes in the slightest.

"You're a vampire," Adjutor says, "I was aware of this already. We've been through two rounds, and Lorenzo's a tomato, I'm not doing much better, and you're still more or less clear, to say nothing of the fact that you're somehow paler than magi who've spent almost their entire lives locked up in their studies. No blood in the veins, no blushing, simple as that."

Then Lorenzo's offer to show the vampire something in return registers.

"No setting the bar on fire," Adjutor warns the pirate, "And I suppose it's your turn now, Forest."

[Kotomine_Rin]

"Hah, quite the charming little thing you've got there, Fore." said Lorenzo as he found himself before a seemingly different lady. Her fangs were sharp, and eyes were of a glowing blood red. Still, he found a certain... beauty in it.

Lightly pinching her cheek, Lorenzo smiled warmly as if to tease her. "How cuuuuuuuute, you are just such a nice lady. Really like ya, yknow?"

Then he laid back and proceeded to stretch, his knuckles cracking as he braced himself. "It's been quite some time since I've enjoyed myself like this mates, have one on me."

With that, he gave a cheeky look at both before snapping his fingers nonchalantly. Suddenly, a burst of flame came from all sides, countless familiars circling tem three. Fire now breathed, lived under the forms Lorenzo had given it. The birds approached the lady before rubbing lightly on her, displaying affection as their shine burned brighter than a star.

"See? The bar didn't go on fire. Progress I tell ya!"

"You're a vampire. I was aware of this already. We've been through two rounds, and Lorenzo's a tomato, I'm not doing much better, and you're still more or less clear, to say nothing of the fact that you're somehow paler than magi who've spent almost their entire lives locked up in their studies. No blood in the veins, no blushing, simple as that."

Forest raised an eyebrow at Adjutor's reaction before Lorenzo leaned over and gently pinched her cheek.  "How cuuuuuuuute, you are just such a nice lady. Really like ya, yknow?"

"You know most sensible folks would have turned tail at that and ran," the blond said as she relaxed, letting her eyes go back to their normal indigo hue and her fangs retract.  However there was a subtle throb now, making her aware of the warmth in Lorenzo's touch and how he smelled like smoke and rum.

Then Lorenzo leaned back before stretching, cracking his knuckles and said, "It's been quite some time since I've enjoyed myself like this mates, have one on me."

He snapped his fingers and flame came from all sides.  Forest tensed up until the flames shaped into countless birds, living and breathing, but still flame.  The birds glowed like miniature suns, almost too bright for her to look at, as they began to nuzzle her.  She didn't catch on fire, and the birds were wonderfully warm so she found herself giggling as she had a bird perch on her shoulder.

"Okay Adjutor, you just had sex in the last few hours, and I'd wager my knickers that you lost your virginity then too."

[Panda]

Adjutor allows a chuckle at Forest's comment, "Well, I'm sorry to say that I don't think either of us fall under that category and you seem like a decent person, so your dietary choices don't really matter to us."

Then the fire bursts from everywhere, before forming into countless bird-familiars, which proceed to gather around her as she allows a giggle

Then Forest makes her guess that's probably not a guess considering that she could have just plucked it out of his head with her telepathy. Regardless, her statement forces a grimace from him as memories of that incident with Rider resurface.

"Honestly, given that she apparently chose me simply because of the things I could do with these," he takes a moment wave the tendrils around, "It was less sex and more-" the teen cuts himself off with a brief shudder, "But yes, I did lose my virginity in that incident."

Had he been sober, or even less drunk, at the time, chances are that Adjutor might have simply restrained himself to the vest.

Whoa whoa whoa, wait a minute, Adjutor. She only guessed one and you remember what happened last time-

I refuse to be outdone by a pirate! My earlier failure was due to a lack of initiative!

...Fuck.

However, given Lorenzo's earlier actions, Adjutor decided not to let himself be outdone, and proceeded to unbutton both the vest and the dress shirt, sliding both off to reveal the full length of the tattoos, covering almost every inch of skin on his arms from his shoulders down to the tips of his fingers, as well as endless collection of scars, all varying in size, shape, and source.

"The first is for guessing correctly," Adjutor says, folding both pieces of clothing and laying them down on the bar, "The second is for the promise that we will never speak of that incident again."

[Kotomine_Rin]

"Oho, that's bold, quite bold indeed!" Lorenzo cheered with a jolly whistle. Leaning towards Forest, he whispered in her ear.

"I'm sure lad's a lady killer. Just think, these things look lewd! Like, super lewd! Imagine all the possibilities..."

[Elf]

Forest lifted her hand and said, "I swear never to speak of That Which Shall Not Be Named.  And for tendrils . . . Ffffft I prefer flesh, bone, and blood obviously."

Both eyebrows raised as he took off the vest and the shirt.  He was lithely muscled, lacking Lorenzo's width, and his pale skin was covered in oddly intricate tattoos and a number of scars.  The blond swallowed and reached out to squeeze the teenager's hand.  His skin was cool, especially for someone who was alive and she blinked but didn't withdraw.  Instead she said, "I'm sorry."

Then Lorenzo leaned forward and whispered, "I'm sure lad's a lady killer. Just think, these things look lewd! Like, super lewd! Imagine all the possibilities..."

I don't know if this drink is magic or what, but normally I wouldn't be doing this.  I wouldn't be thinking of sexy math and . . . Lord and Lady I'm sounding like Wynn . . . No. I'm sounding like Gabriel!  Bloody hell . . .

And there.  There it was.  Forest felt the stirring of want inside of her.  Lust started to make its way known through her body, and it was lust, her inhibition dropped mind was telling her, that she could gleefully state for once.

She chuckled though at the pirate's enthusiasm.  Then she leaned back and admitted, "Normally I wouldn't be but , bloody hell I am."

Then she straightened up, held out her empty glass and pointed her finger to it.  "A fuzzy navel, if you please." 

She then smiled crookedly at Adjutor and said, "My first time was so rotten that I'm an Eternal Virgin because of it."

[Panda]

Adjutor couldn't help but raise an inquisitive eyebrow at Forest's attentions, growing even more confused by what she says, then Lorenzo takes a moment to whisper something to her that he can't quite catch and the teen decides to let it be.

"There's nothing to be sorry about," Adjutor says, "That experience wasn't even close to being one of the worst things I've gone through."

Then she asks for a-...wait what? Intrigued, Adjutor quickly flips through the mixing book until he finds the...fuzzy navel...

"...You have got to be kidding me," the teen says with a sigh as he goes about mixing the drink, tendrils bursting out of his shoulder to grab ingredients behind him as he works. After a few moments, the finished cocktail is slid across the bar to Forest, it doesn't need to be said that the ingredients were Reinforced. It does need to be said, however, that Forest's next statement stops him cold.

"..." Adjutor takes a moment to compose himself as he takes this in, mind racing, before Xarrest sharply cuts off that train of thought.

Stop thinking about it. Like the pirate said, it's in the past. What matters is the here and now.

But-

No. Dammit, if she can get over her traumas, you can get over yours. Hell, I shouldn't even have to be telling you this, considering that the pirate went to great lengths to literally beat this truth into you. Now move over.

"So," Xarrest says, wry undertones differentiating him from Adjutor's even tones, "Are we feeling up for another round, or shall we move on to other entertainments?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

"See!? I knew he was a lady killer! A bold one too!", Lorenzo roared as he finished what little remained of his bottle.

Lightly pressing on Forest's shoulder, he laughed before giving her a more... intense look. His golden eyes looked right at her own, his smile warming up as if to accept all her burdens. Looking more and more at her, he realized she was really a lovely lady.

No, realizing was wrong, he knew she was fine looking and had a good heart from the first glance he gave her. But now, he felt something... more. His heart danced, and he could feel a need to make her happy, to see her smile and perhaps even to...

Suddenly, his finger siddenly pressed on her lips, he could feel her cold touch. It was strange, he never felt one so cold. But even so, he felt such a thing... beautiful.

"Aye, we can move on to the main course, but if possible I'd like to askcha to make one. simple. guess." said Lorenzo with his usual kind warmth, but not without a tint of sultryness growing to his voice.

"No mind reading, no tricks and no bullshit. I ask ya a question, and you have to answer it truthfully. Aye?"

[Elf]

Forest That Is Not With Tom

Forest took the Fuzzy Navel and took a sip of it, enjoying the tang of the orange juice with the sweet sting of the peach schnaps.  It was an easy cocktail to make, but it didn't stop it from being a good one.  As she drank, "So, are we feeling up for another round, or shall we move on to other entertainments?"

She noticed the change in the young man's voice and raised her eyebrows. Before she could answer, Lorenzo's warm, rough hand was on her shoulder as his golden eyes looked over her.  His smile was warm and then he laid his finger on her lips.

"No mind reading, no tricks and no bullshit. I ask ya a question, and you have to answer it truthfully. Aye?"

Forest nodded and said, "I c-can do that.  Yes.  I can answer honestly.  So, ask."

[Panda]

Xarrest simply watched as Lorenzo went in for the proverbial kill, laying a finger across Forest's lips as he asked her a simple question.

Well now, looks like he's beaten us to the punch.

...Well then...

Oh, goddammit, don't you start moping again. Okay, maybe things didn't work out this time, but it's not like an opportunity like this will never come again.

With a drawn out sigh, Xarrest quickly takes up the empty glasses and starts cleaning them, resigning himself to wait for his next patron.

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Shirou looked down at his lover while continuing to nurse at her sensitive skin. The sight of Saber's flushed skin and erotic expression and the beautiful, pleasured sounds coming from her were almost too much to take. His erection throbbed and heartbeat thundered within his chest as the fire of his need consumed him. Her hips bucked at him, but without her use of magical energy he was more than capable of holding her in place. The freelancer came down on the former king with renewed vigor, sucking deeply as his tongue fervently lapped at her tiny nub, refusing to let it retreat beneath the folds of her skin.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lorenzo's smile grew wider, his eyes brimming like fire once more.

"You know, I've been a pirate for a long time, seen lots of gold and gems. Aye, treasure and loot is a beautiful thing, but tonight I've seen something that shined even brighter than gold! Something more precious than a thousand gems, something that I will never forget, so beautiful I would protect it even if I am to die for it."

Hand gently caressed her shoulder, the pirate smiled before leaning over her. His body getting closer and closer to her's, his hand let her silky golden hair flow trough his fingers.

"Yes, I have seen a beautiful, charming lass. A woman with a good wit, a kind heart and a gorgeous body. To keep it bluntly, I feel that if it was for you, I would gladly throw away all treasure of the world. All I want right now... is to see your bliss, see your beautiful smile and your charming eyes." whispered Lorenzo, his voice burning with the fires of passion.

He felt that if he didn't ask this now, he would never be able to do so again. If there was a time to embrace his desire, to welcome passion, it was now.

"Would you let a poor worn out pirate fill your heart? Would you let me make you happy? Even if it's just for one night, I would love to spend it with you. Even if it's my last night, I would never weep over having it be a night where you'd lay in my arms."

Now, he let her go and simply held her beautiful white hand, pressing onto it with his reddened hands. Looking up her face once more, he felt a sudden throb in his heart, much stronger than before.

"Whatever you want, whatever you say I will act upon it. This night belongs to you truly, and I want it to belong to yours truly. All I need is one word, do you feel the same flame I feel? Do you wish for this night to claim us?"

[Elf]

Saber

"S-shirou . . ." Saber was trembling under Shirou's touch.  He held her easily and gave her no quarter, each suck drawing her higher and higher.  More tension was building up within her and she was gasping.  Sparks were flashing through her and she gripped his hair and the sheets.

One last hungry suck brought the former king over the edge, a cry echoing through the room.  Her empty core clinched at nothing as bliss washed through her.

"Whatever you want, whatever you say I will act upon it. This night belongs to you truly, and I want it to belong to yours truly. All I need is one word, do you feel the same flame I feel? Do you wish for this night to claim us?"

Forest blinked after Lorenzo's rather beautiful confession and he held her hand, looking at her eagerly.  She looked down then up at him again.  She swallowed and said, "It's . . . it's been a while since I've let anyone make me happy.  I'd . . . like to try."

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Shirou held on tight, riding out Saber's writhing as she climaxed. With one last, gentle lick, he let go and laid her back down on the bed. He watched as she recovered herself, panting as beads of sweat trickled down her side. Shirou himself was breathing heavily, his body compensating for the heat his own lust sent through him. His own sex was so close to hers...

He leaned over the blond until he was resting on his elbows, his face inches from hers. "Saber, may I?"


LANCELOT AND AKIHOLARME

Aki gave the newcomer a dry smile. "Yeah, sure. More the merrier, I suppose," she said. With that she took a large gulp from her drink, only for her eyes to widen and quickly put it back down. Her face contorted with effort as she worked to swallow. "Gah. Holy shit, this is strong stuff. What did they put in here?"

Lancelot in turn wasn't too happy about company. He appreciated that the lady, Aki, was trying to look out for him, but he really wasn't feeling sociable, and hard liquor... no, this wasn't a good idea.

"As long as said company has the sense to not make like rabbits," he muttered while glaring in the general direction of the couple going at it on the other side of the bar.

[Panda]

Xarrest finally decides that he's had enough of simply sitting by and moves forward taking Forest's other hand.

"If I may be excused," Xarrest begins, "I must admit to noticing you eying both of us earlier, and you hardly restricted that little show to just one of us. One cannot help but wonder if you were greedy enough to want both of us, but if this were case, all you need to do is ask, and we'd be fine with accommodating you. After all, this is the Velvet Room, and even if it weren't, if it would make you happy, it would be worth doing."


Curious, the immortal down his own glass before scooping up some of the punch in it. Swirling the strange concoction around a bit, he shrugs and takes a sip, rolling the drink around for a moment before swallowing.

"Liquor," Michael states, downing the rest of his glass in a single go, "Lots of liquor, though not with a heavy hand...hmm...commendable work, but...the bartender lacks experience."

Michael then offers an good-natured laugh at the knight's comment.

"Hardly," the immortal says, taking a seat next to the woman with face-paint, "While I must admit that I wouldn't mind sharing the company of either of you in that manner, what caught my interest about you two was something else entirely. Honestly, both of you look like you've might have seen some interesting things, and if you live for long enough, interesting people tend to get more and more rare. All that aside, what's the problem with wanting a little company when I'm drinking?"
