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

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Emily

Emily raised an eyebrow at the woman's answer before following her lead and filling the rest of her glass with cherry coke before taking a sip. The curious mixture of alcohol and soda bubbled and burned its way down her throat as she appreciated the drink.

Hmm, not bad at all.

"...Well, this certainly is a curious place to search for that kind of knowledge," Emily admitted, taking another sip, "How do you hope to find that here of all places?"


Adjutor

His task complete, Adjutor left the pirate for the newly arrived man and Servant.

Suddenly I'm thankful these drinks are Reinforced. Be a bit of a party-pooper if Sir Tall Dark and Red couldn't get drunk.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room," the teen says, sliding over in front of the two, "What'll it be?"

The Servant sidled aaway after hearing a voice he'd thought he'd long forgotten, as Law pondered his order. "Whiskey sour," he finally said, settling on something strong enough to get rid of that annoying feeling of being cockblocked for a second time. Then he noticed the redheads. Including the one he'd been fucking not too long ago. Sliding over to them, he interjected into the conversation by tapping Emily on the shoulder. "Mind if I get you another drink?"

Archer meanwhile found himself staring at a face he knew too well. Rin was here.

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Shirou was confused by her words at first, then realized she had heard his internal question. He pulled away and leaned Forest down so she was flat on her back, then crawled over her to sucking and laving at her other breast, his tongue swirling around the erect peak. Her skin was as pale and cold as ever, but her excited panting and shivering did wonders for his own arousal.

You what, Forest? he thought to her, not willing to stop pleasuring her to speak normally.

[Elf]

Abigail

Abigail blushed and said, "Well I heard some forces were at work and I was going to study them.  Instead I was taken to a pirate ship by that guy over there and it was all very weird."

She blinked as the unknown guy offered to get Emily another drink.


Rin

"I see... Well, it can't be helped. They do say misery loves company. If there's something you've got bottled up, not the jack mind you, you should get it off your chest. Keeping things to yourself is not good for the stress, that and the wrinkles."

Rin sighed and said, "I don't like to talk about it.  I sound like a selfish bitch when I . . ."

Her voice caught as she looked into an all too familiar face.  Funny, I only knew him for a few days, yet the bastard still haunts me.  Is it because he died to save me and I feel like I failed him?  Or because I know who he was and I still have a yen for Emiya Shirou, no matter what version he is?  I don't know if I want to punch him for leave him or ask for forgiveness because I failed as a Master.

"Do," Rin finished before swallowing, slowly rising from her seat.  Her feet were moving before she realized it, and she grabbed onto the anger and all the things she'd kept bottled up within her as she stepped aside for Sakura's happiness.  Her crest flared to life, glowing under the red fabric of her sleeve as she balled her hand up into a fist.

Then once she got to Archer, she threw a reinforced punch right to his face.


Forest

Forest whimpered as he pulled away from her, but Shirou adjusted and pushed her so she was flat on her back and moved so his mouth was at her other breast.  The first suck made her hips arch and made her gasp.  She was aching, empty, her own lust openly weeping from her core.

You what, Forest?  His greedy mouth was working a spell on her, driving her thoughts farther and farther away from her.  She could feel him hard against her thigh and whispered, "I want to take you.  With my mouth."  Then she shyly looked away at the confession.

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Shirou blinked and then flushed with nervous embarassment at the blond's whispered confession. His lips released her breast and he pulled back to look at her, distractedly wondering how she could be so sexy and cute at the same time.

"Um, o-okay..." he stuttered out as he unzipped and shimmied out of his pants, his underwear following after. Now with his face almost completely red, he crawled back over to Forest, running one hand through her rich golden locks. "So..." he mumbled, far less sure of himself than he had been only a few moments before.

[Elf]

Forest

Forest bit her lip as she looked at Shirou's blushing face as he lifted his head from her small breasts.  Her nipples were so hard they were almost painful, and his gaze made her squirm.

"Um, o-okay..." he said with a stutter as he quickly undressed, leaving herself bare to her gaze.  A red flush was spread across is skin as he moved back over to her, one hand going to her hair.  She leaned into is touch with a sigh as he said, "So . . ."

She kissed him before gently pushing him on his back.  She rose up to slide her jeans off her legs, leaving her black panties on for now.  She gazed at his form, admiring the muscles there and his exotically beautiful skin before she looked down at his hard length.  One hand holding her hair back, she began to kiss and nibble her way down his body, placing a kiss over his heart before making her way down to his hard need.

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Forest leaned up to kiss him before gently rolling him over onto his back. She slid out of the rest of her clothes, leaving her entire body exposed save for the very last piece of her modesty, covered by black panties. She stared at him, her eyes soaking in his revealed body, including the most male part of him, and he would have looked away if he weren't also enraptured with her body.

Then she leaned in and started kissing and nibbling lightly at him, slowly trailing down his body. He squirmed a little, then gasped as she placed a particularly slow and loving kiss on the scar over his heart. Then she made her way down to his erection, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest, the excitement and shy nervousness overwhelming.

[Elf]

Forest

His heart was pounding; Forest could hear it like a drum solo in her ears.  She looked up at him as he was watching her, squirming ever so slightly.  She found it endearing and reached up to give Shirou's hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze before nuzzling his thigh.

Then she ran her fingertips up and down his length, feeling it hard and hot against her fingertips.  The musky smell of arousal was stronger here and it made her head spin ever so slightly.  She studied him, admiring his thickness, and realizing even here he was perfect in his imperfections. 

Then she bowed her head, golden hair spilling across his thighs as she began to slowly lick up and down his length, making him slick with her saliva.

Lorenzo Remei

Lorenzo's eyes narrowed at her words, but before he could object he noticed her gaze was averted elsewhere. Then, she walked up to him in a gaze and-

Well, she definetely would have landed a good one on the poor lad's face. Luckily for him, Lorenzo moved in quickly and blocked the blow with the back of his forearm. Immediately, he winced.

There was no way the pirate would have expected such a slender girl to pack such a punch. But instead of showing any pain, he simply glared at the woman.

"Don't." Lorenzo said flatly.

Adjutor

The teen wasn't long in making the drink, all the ingredients Reinforced, and quickly sliding it over to the man who'd now approached a pair of redheads.


Emily

Emily raised an eyebrow at her fellow redhead's explanation, taking a long drink of the cherry coke and rum as she took it in. Before she could answer, however, she felt someone tapping her on the shoulder and asking if he could get her a drink, judging by the sound of the newcomer's voice.

Turning around, Emily found herself face to face with someone strangely familiar. In spite of being fairly sure she'd never met this man before, there was som-

Memories flashed through her head, almost too quickly for her to get a clear view. Memories filled with desire, want, need...

Emily grinned to the stranger before finishing her drink off in one go.

"Sure, why not," Emily said, looking back at the her fellow redhead as ideas churned in her head.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Abigail

Abigail blushed and said, "Well I heard some forces were at work and I was going to study them.  Instead I was taken to a pirate ship by that guy over there and it was all very weird."

She blinked as the unknown guy offered to get Emily another drink.


Rin

"I see... Well, it can't be helped. They do say misery loves company. If there's something you've got bottled up, not the jack mind you, you should get it off your chest. Keeping things to yourself is not good for the stress, that and the wrinkles."

Rin sighed and said, "I don't like to talk about it.  I sound like a selfish bitch when I . . ."

Her voice caught as she looked into an all too familiar face.  Funny, I only knew him for a few days, yet the bastard still haunts me.  Is it because he died to save me and I feel like I failed him?  Or because I know who he was and I still have a yen for Emiya Shirou, no matter what version he is?  I don't know if I want to punch him for leave him or ask for forgiveness because I failed as a Master.

"Do," Rin finished before swallowing, slowly rising from her seat.  Her feet were moving before she realized it, and she grabbed onto the anger and all the things she'd kept bottled up within her as she stepped aside for Sakura's happiness.  Her crest flared to life, glowing under the red fabric of her sleeve as she balled her hand up into a fist.

Then once she got to Archer, she threw a reinforced punch right to his face.

Law
"And of course - " Law said, reaching under the counter to pull out a bottle of absinthe, "Something for the pretty lady next to you as well." He poured a shot of it and handed it to Abigail, as he downed the whiskey sour in a single gulp, enjoying the warm burn as it went down his throat. He really needed that drink at this point.

Archer

Archer blinked as the man Rin was with blocked the sudden punch thrown at him by his former master. "You know, I think I sort of deserved that. Hi Rin. Mind if I take a seat next to you?"

[Elf]

Abigail

Abigail's eyes widened as she saw the bottle of absinthe.  She leaned over the bar, grabbing the slotted spoon, a sugar cube, and the water for it, all but bouncing in her seat.  There was a reason why the drink got the knick name "Green Fairy"; the wormwood had a stronger affect on Fae than it did humans.  Chasing it varied from Faerie to Faerie, but it was something she had always wanted to try.

"Oh thank you," she said, looking at the both of them.  She grabbed more glasses and sugar cubes and asked, "Have the either of you tried this?"


Rin

Lorenzo glared at Rin after blocking her blow.  Reinforced as she was, it should have shattered the man's arm, but it hadn't.  She gave him a flat look and said in a cold voice, "That was a stupid thing for you to do, pirate."

"You know, I think I sort of deserved that. Hi Rin. Mind if I take a seat next to you?"

Rin felt her anger drain out of her as she said, "Maybe you should have taken a swing at me."  Then she gestured to the seat beside her with a lump forming in her chest.

[Panda]

Emily

Emily eyed the bottle worriedly. She hadn't always heard the best things about the Green Fairy, and it had led to rather unfortunate incidents with some of the Lost in her court during her time as Spring Queen.

"Thank you," Emily said, "But no thank you. I'll be fine with the rum and soda."

"Though," Emily continued, flashing Law a grin, "I suppose, no matter what we end up doing, the more the merrier, no?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lorenzo Remei

Ohmygoshwhyismyarmdangling?

Lorenzo's nerve was immediately struck by the man's response. If he knew he was going to be this grateful, he would've punched him himself! Smiling politely, he tried not to look ticked off.

He failed.

"Oh. Well, there was no way I could have known that. Don't worry, I'll let her punch you next time."

Then, he claimed his throne back and sipped his drink. He must have put too little in the glass, because it was over in a little sip.

Ohmygoshwhycan'tIfeelmyarm?

"Also, Rin, you do know... I have a name. It's Lorenzo, not pirate. Lo Ren Zo, cute isn't it? As I was trying to say, don't call yourself a bitch. Besides, what's wrong with being selfish? I'm not here to judge you, I just want you to have a good time."

[Panda]

Adjutor

The dull thwack of fist against arm caught Adjutor's attention, drawing his eyes to Lorenzo returning to his seat, one arm noticeably swollen. Making his way over to the pirate, Adjutor settled in front of him, taking up the man's injured arm.

"...I'm almost surprised that this isn't broken," the teen said, pulling back the sleeve to take a look at the damage.

"In any case," with that, a green glow lit up the teen's free hand before he pressed it down on the exact spot where Lorenzo had taken the hit, "This should do it."

The healing magic quickly went to work, mending the pirate's arm and reducing the swelling.

"There, all better now," Adjutor said, deciding to have a little fun with the pirate, "Need a bandage with little pirate ships on it to cover this up? Or is the wound to your pride something that will heal?"

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Emily

Emily eyed the bottle worriedly. She hadn't always heard the best things about the Green Fairy, and it had led to rather unfortunate incidents with some of the Lost in her court during her time as Spring Queen.

"Thank you," Emily said, "But no thank you. I'll be fine with the rum and soda."

"Though," Emily continued, flashing Law a grin, "I suppose, no matter what we end up doing, the more the merrier, no?"

Abigail

Abigail's eyes widened as she saw the bottle of absinthe.  She leaned over the bar, grabbing the slotted spoon, a sugar cube, and the water for it, all but bouncing in her seat.  There was a reason why the drink got the knick name "Green Fairy"; the wormwood had a stronger affect on Fae than it did humans.  Chasing it varied from Faerie to Faerie, but it was something she had always wanted to try.

"Oh thank you," she said, looking at the both of them.  She grabbed more glasses and sugar cubes and asked, "Have the either of you tried this?"

Law

The Sin Eater grinned as he sipped his Whiskey, catching Emily's little bit of innuendo. "Well, more the merrier indeed in my opinion, if you can handle it. I have to say I have before." The drink burned a little as he looked at Abby. "Absinthe? Not really. Once or twice, but the taste isn't my favorite to be honest. I wouldn't mind a shot or two though, once I'm done with this."

Rin

Lorenzo glared at Rin after blocking her blow.  Reinforced as she was, it should have shattered the man's arm, but it hadn't.  She gave him a flat look and said in a cold voice, "That was a stupid thing for you to do, pirate."

"You know, I think I sort of deserved that. Hi Rin. Mind if I take a seat next to you?"

Rin felt her anger drain out of her as she said, "Maybe you should have taken a swing at me."  Then she gestured to the seat beside her with a lump forming in her chest.

Archer

The Servant slipped into the seat next to her, leaning against the bar lazily, casting a smile at his former master. Archer had to admit her fiery temper wasn't unexpected all things considered, but how fast she'd calmed down was a little surprising.

He'd expected Rin to have much worse than a punch to throw at him.

"Why would I take a swing at you? You're my master after all."
