Cross Effects- The RP

[Cherry Lover]

Kiyoshi smiled at the now-free Taiga, but she did not respond to his words, or his actions. Instead, she just sat there in silence, seemingly unaware of his presense.

Kiyoshi continued to stand there, awaiting her reply when, suddenly, she started swearing, before hitting her chair and then bursting into tears. Shocked, Kiyoshi jumped back momentarily, before moving to comfort the girl. However, before he could do so, Sakura rushed over, grabbing the poor girl into a tight hug.

He felt a tap on the shoulder, and the newcomer spoke up.

"Come on boyo, let em be, they need a moment", he said.

Kiyoshi wanted to comfort the girl too, but he knew that Sakura was far better-placed to do so than he was. So, reluctantly, he backed-off. As he did so, he turned and spoke to the newcomer.

"Yeah, I think you're right", he said.

"Anyway, I guess we should introduce ourselves. I'm Emiya Kiyoshi, the son of Sakura and Shirou", he added, smiling. "Who might you be? Your speech is somewhat unusual...."

[lantzblades]

"I'm a son of Ireland, it ain't unusual for anyone born in Dublin  to talk this way. My name is Connor, you probably know me da best as CuCulain. Anyway, you're Emiya too huh? Guess Alex would be mad if I didn't make sure you were ok while I'm in the city. You met Alex? Well he probably introduced himself as Satoshi, he travels worlds and the wee tiger is here so I thought you might have seen him" Connor replied.

[Cherry Lover]

"Thank you, Forest", Rider said, handing her Finn's phone. "I understand your concern, but you were right. His changed nature is part of what is making me want to do this. Plus, having spoken to him and his sister I am sure I will come to no undesired harm at his hands."

Desired harm, on the other hand..., thought Rider, her lust growing stronger and stronger.

With the rooms sorted out, Rider was just about ready to get going. Before she left, though, there was one more thing to deal with. Rider had grown rather fond of Isa, and she would like to have the chance to say goodbye to the young girl, and reassure her that she would be OK.

For a moment, Rider wondered why Forest had not responded to her stated desire to say goodbye to Isa. But, then, she remembered what Forest had said previously.

Ah, right, she's getting washed.

Damn.

Rider really wanted to say goodbye to the girl. She'd been so nice, and Rider already saw her as a friend. But, at the same time, she desperately wanted to get going. Her arousal was only growing as she awaited Satoshi's punishments, and she desperately wanted release.

Quickly, she made her decision.

"Well, I'm going to get going now. Hopefully I won't be too long. Please say goodbye to Isa for me, and assure her that I am going to be OK. And, please, look after Kiyo for me until I get back."

Rider's lust and anticipation over-rode her desire to speak to the girl. After all, it's not like they'd never see each other again. Eventually she would get free of Satoshi somehow.

With that thought, Rider turned to leave.

[Alice]

Finn grinned after Forest and shouted back, "I hear that!" before turning to Ruu. "Alright soldier, time for us to carry out the mission." He figured that even if Forest didn't have any Magical Girl shows, she probably had satellite at least, so he could hunt down something for Hakuno to watch that way. With Ruu in tow, he headed down to the second floor.

---

Lady Luck seemed to be smiling down on Finn- not only did he manage to find a Magical Girl show for Hakuno to watch, but a whole 24 hour marathon. He turned to his new comrade in arms. "Alright, now all we have to do is watch and make observations until Miss Haku herself is able to come up here herself. You ready little buddy?"

Rin looked at Archer in curiosity. Certain events? Though it was likely he was referring to his corruption. It was possible it was also something else though. An event involving something rather bad happening to his dimension's version of her...

Then he tilted his head at her next question.  "I kept that pendent that version of you in my time saved me all my life.  I even had it with me when I was executed.  This lack of confidence doesn't suit you, Rin."  He took a step closer to her, grinned and asked, "What do you think?"

If Rin didn't already know Archer's true identity, those details would not have already led her to figure it out, but also would have rather surprised her in the revelation. But as it was, there was something about what he said that surprised her- the fact that he had cared so much about her as to keep her pendant with him all his life. Of course, it'd been the catalyst to summon him, but the fact that he'd held it so dear... Ugh, stop thinking such sappy thoughts! You're a Tohsaka, elegance and grace are your bread and butter. N-no need to get so sentimental over it!

Rin walked a little closer to Archer in turn. "O-of course you should have held on to it! It was from my father after all, it was really important!" She slipped a lock of her hair behind her ear. "And, well... my world's version of Emiya-kun has his eyes out for someone else and..." She closed her eyes. "Well... my version of you. He died early on in the War. So I didn't get much time to get that out of him." Her face became serious, and she stepped a little closer "What happened to your version of me? Did you lose her like I lost my version of you?"

[Elf]

"Archer, I want you to promise me something."

Rin's hand in his was getting colder and colder in his, and those aquamarine eyes were starting to dull.

The darkness in him was curling knots in his stomach, a combination of fury and grief as he replied, "What?"

"Be happy.  You're free, so don't lose this chance.  I order you to live your new life happily."

He squeezed her hand and said in a low voice, "Rin . . . "

Archer sighed and said, "Let me just say that your sister isn't one of my favorite people."

[Alice]

It was only a glimmer, but Rin could see it in Archer's eyes. I must have died, or, perhaps more accurately, was killed. And from the sounds of things, Angra Manyu still had a firm hold on Sakura throughout all this. It certainly explains why he was corrupted. No wonder...

"Well, either way, there's nothing we can do for our other selves now." She crossed her arms. "W-what matters is that we're here together now, right? We can't change the past, so all we can do is keep moving forward." She smiled wryly. "Normally at this point I'd ask you to make some tea for us, but I suspect the kitchen's still a bit too destroyed for that. Still, I think we could both do with a pick-me-up I think, tea or no tea. You got any ideas?"

She suspected somewhat what he would do or suggest, but... for some reason, it didn't bother her. A part of her even wanted it... 

[Elf]

He grinned at that, leaned forward and said, "I can think of a few things."  He looked at her with half lidded eyes before leaning back.  He folded his arms across his chest and said, "And they're not anything you're ready for yet.  Unless you're feeling a bit adventurous."  He grinned at that, "I may not technically be your Servant anymore, but there are a few Commands I'll obey."

He didn't really want to brave the kitchen with the Idiot and the other version of himself that had taken to little mousey girls.  Hakuno was cute he supposed, but she wasn't Rin.  Then again, no one was Tohsaka Rin.

[Alice]

Rin knew she should have been more careful. She knew that normally she wouldn't be letting things go this fast. But... well, really, this is what she wanted. And besides, she was a full fledged magus now, apprenticed to Zelretch, finally somewhat respected by the Association, all of which she had earned with sweat, blood, and tears. Didn't she deserve to have the one thing she had been denied? Didn't she deserve to have everything? Even if there was some sort of catch that she wasn't grasping, this was one deal with the devil she was willing to make.

She grinned at him right back. "Oh, you don't think I could handle it? I can handle plenty, believe me. You could say I'm feeling plenty adventurous tonight. But then... I don't know what I can handle until you show me, now do I?"

[Elf]

Archer watched as he could all but see the gears in her head turning.  He knew she was weighing every option of this, but he felt a thrill as she grinned at him.  Her aquamarine eyes were bright and there was just the faintest hint of a blush on her cheeks as she replied to him.

He smirked at her, moving a step closer, then another until he was looming over her.  "I think I have a lot I'm going to enjoy showing you," he said in a low voice before bending forward.  Chastely, he brushed her lips against hers, awaiting her response.

[Alice]

Rin shivered in delight, placing her arms around him as she responded with a kiss of her own, less chaste than the soft brush of his lips, but still gentle. A bit of subdued romance to build up to the big event. She could feel the leather of his coat between her fingers, the surprisingly cool touch of his lips against hers, was intoxicated by the smell of smoke and metal that she remembered oh so well.

Uncertain of what to do next to perfect the kiss in light of her inexperience, she awaited his next move. 

[Daiki]

The familiar followed the magus obediently. Ruu didn't know much about him for now, but he trusted Ruu in accomplishing... whatever he was supposed to accomplish. They climbed some stairs and ended up in a room he didn't quite know what to make of.

Finn addressed Ruu and the little guy answered with a nod. Silvery round eyes fell on the screen. The Familiar was used to going to theaters but he simply had to pay the fee at the entry and sit in a room full of people. Once, he tried to take on the mighty home theater available in a motel he stayed in. It didn't go well, at all. Unless one would consider having the thing smashed to pieces, a success.

Ruu stared at the screen, and he was sure it looked back, a smug grin mocking him as if to challenge and fail again, instead of overcoming his shortcomings.  It would be difficult, but he had an assignment to fulfill. The child-looking puppet furrowed and pointed a finger to the arrogant TV.

"Ruu won't lose!!!"

War was declared.

----

The vehicle parked not far from the building entrance. Shuya opened the door and was immediately welcomed by the cold rain. He turned to Lawrence and gave him a nod. His trick was rather strange to stop an engine like that but seemed quite useful. And he wasn't a shitty driver either.

"Not bad, Law." He had decided to shorter his name to make it simple. Next moment, he was walking to the building. "Leave your baby stationed there for now. Sure Forest will let you bring it inside the garage if you ask."

He looked at Ran. "As for going back home, ask the magi."

After that, he gestured them to follow him inside and kicked open the front door. As soon as he stepped in, he yelled powerfully. "Bringing you some more guests, blondie!!" He probably could have just let his thoughts gather the vampire's attention, but then, it wouldn't be as obnoxious coming from him.

He still removed his dirty shoes before going further. As bad manners went, he was among the top tier, however, he still was Japanese.

[OPOI]

Shirou was surprised to say the least when Forest suddenly stopped at the door, before quickly pushing him to the side. As he was about to demand an answer, he heard Rider's sultry voice from beyond the doorway, answering his question.

"Mind as well avoid an unwanted confrontation," he muttered softly, settling down against the wall. There was a strange odour hanging in the air, but he quickly brushed it off once he deemed it unthreatening.

It was only a short wait. Once he felt Rider's presence move off, he silently emerged from the corner, stopping behind Forest once more. He tapped her on the shoulder.

"Let's continue then," he said nonchalantly, as if they hadn't stopped. He was surprised to see Forest look...frazzled?

"What's wrong?" he said, concern coloring his tone.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider walked towards the exit of the apartment as quickly as possible, eager to get to Satoshi and the fun he had promised her. Once she was out of sight of Forest, she walked towards a corner. Standing close to ensure that no-one could possibly see her eyes, Rider removed her glasses, placing them in a case. Then, as quickly as possible, she changed into her battle outfit, before placing the glasses case into her pocket where Satoshi would be able to find it whilst undressing her.

Well, if I'm going to be his prisoner, it should be up to him to decide if I am allowed to see what is being done to me..., Rider thought, her arousal clear.

Rider opened the door and walked out of the apartment. Searching the horizon for the castle, she headed towards it at top speed, jumping off the rooftops to avoid people and traffic on the steets below.

I hope I'll be able to see them again, she thought. Well, most of them, anyway....

Several of the people had made a real impression on her in the short time she'd known them. Isa was a really sweet girl, and Hakuno too. She hoped they would both be OK, and could understand that she was not in danger. And, of course, there was Rin.

Not that she is going to be lonely as long as that Darkened Archer is here....

Rider did somewhat wonder how he'd ended up that way, and what had become of the Sakura in his world, but now wasn't the time to dwell on such things.

Yes, soon I'll be Satoshi's prisoner, to be tortured and raped at his whim. Or, even better, he'll be my prisoner.

The thought of what he would do to her aroused Rider greatly. She could only imagine all the ways he would torment and pleasure her body. As her panties got wetter and wetter, she idly wondered if they would end up in her mouth, being used to gag and humiliate her. She wasn't sure if she wanted that or not, but the thought that it might happen, and that she would be unable to do anything to prevent it, was definitely turning her on. The thought of being helpless and at Satoshi's mercy was arousing her beyond all belief, as was the hope that mercy was not something he intended to show much of....

Rider finally arrived at the castle, only to have an immediate problem.

How do I get in?

She noticed a large door, but this was a magical castle, and even with her strength it was unlikely she could break through. She approached the door, considering how best to gain entrance. Then, she noticed a small white box with a button, dwarfed by the massive door. A doorbell.

Well, I guess there's no harm in trying, she thought, pressing the button.

[lantzblades]

"come in Rider, door's open. Follow the blue line on the floor and don't bother the knights or Alter. The knight at the door will lock up once you enter." Satoshi announced before cutting off  suddenly.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Lawrence nodded as Shuya walked inside, yelling at the landlady. Really, this wasn't his first choice in residence - the two powerful spiritual entities, actually three when he looked closer and concentrated,  made it rather risky. It was like walking into the very lair of the dragon.

'Even though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I shall fear no evil...'

For I am the baddest motherfucker in that valley...

Killing the engine, he stepped out, heading to the trunk to grab his weaponry - no way he was leaving that in the Firebird yet. That duffle bag had cost him a pretty penny, 2 grand of the Don's money. Besides, Lawrence still needed to load the things.

"Well, Ren, time to talk to the wizards. Careful, as they're subtle and quick to anger." Well, at least from the rumors of the Twilight Network, they were. And powerful enough to erase him from reality with a thought, fuck with time, and a multitude of other things, including mind control and necromancy.

 Lawrence opened the door of the Firebird for her, rain still pouring down. Chivalry might be dead but it paid not to piss off people with swords.
