Cross Effects- The RP

[lantzblades]

Satoshi nodded "Fair enough, I thought he was trying to say something else. Go, take care of the vampire business." he replied letting Rider go.

[Alice]

Lancer peered at the slight redhead - Even though she has the sort of curves made to pillow a man,- and said, "You sure about that?"

He placed the back of his hand on her forehead with a grin.  He asked in a lilting voice, "Sure you don't need any prana?"

Mille's heart began to beat wildly, her face red as a beet. She swallowed before replying, both missing the message and not at the same time. "Well, I could use some prana, it's how I got like this in the first place."

Archer laid Ryoko on the bed and made sure she was tucked in.

Ryoko woke up for a moment as she was tucked into bed. Blearily looking up at him, she softly said, "thanks, Dad," before falling back to sleep.

***

Forest blinked at Tom's offer and handed him the brush.  She turned her back to him and said, "You know I don't trust just anyone with my hair."

"I'll be sure to be careful and thorough." A bit nervous at first, he worked through her golden locks cautiously. But after a bit, it came more naturally, and soon he was making his way through her hair without damaging it. Perhaps he had come to possess such finesse when he had been training to control his powers, he wasn't for certain.

She fidgeted slightly and said, "I mean, I'm not sleepy but I'm not planning on going out again, it's too close to sunrise."

"And I certainly can't blame you for that. I imagine sunlight doesn't agree with you particularly well," he said, continuing to work with her hair. "I prefer the night myself, so I can't say I find that too bothersome. After all, there is safety in the dark..."

Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the adjacent room. His body tensed. At least he was essentially done brushing through Forest's hair, that was a plus.

"We'd better dress quickly. It seems you have a visitor..."

[Elf]

Lancer chuckled at Millie's blush and said, "I don't think you're ready for me to donate it directly to you.  At least not yet.  Even though I'd make sure we'd both enjoy ourselves."

Then he winked at her with a grin.

******

Archer blinked at Ryoko's words as she woke up for a moment before falling back to sleep. 

"Y-you're welcome," he replied softly before heading back to find Rin.  His mind was churning, picking through information. 

******

"Well, you've proven yourself to be thorough already," Forest said, flushing slightly herself.  However when he started getting into brushing her hair it took every ounce of willpower she had to simply not melt.  Still, she was slightly leaning on him, a smile on her face as her eyes closed. 

She raised her eyebrow as she heard footsteps in her office.  "Of course there's a visitor.  There always is one."

[KAIZA]

The strike had been successful, and the behemoth was cleanly cut in two pieces. The unit was already preparing another attack, when the creature suddenly lunged at her and brought its fist down towards her. It was surprisingly fast for its size, catching the unit off-guard. It barely registered the attack, and as a result could not evade it in time and received the full brunt of it.

The unit tumbled to the ground a few meters away, though she managed to use her boosters to immediately spring back into a combat stance and steady herself. Her systems had already begun assessing the damage, though fortunately, her armor had absorbed most of it.

DAMAGE: 23%
PROCEED WITH CAUTION

“Directive accepted.”

She would have to maintain her distance, it seemed. As the unit finished its assessment, she turned towards the creature. Pieces of rotten flesh and bones began to twist and connect, as the two halves of the monster once again began to merge together.

“Subject shows regenerative abilities. Processing...”

If the creature could regenerate itself, undoing any physical damage to it, the unit would have to find another way to dispose of it.

“Activating Mist Cannon”

From her chest, a medium-sized cannon came out, aimed towards the beast. In a fraction of a second, it began drawing Mist from the surroundings towards it, fully charging itself before firing a powerful energy blast.

[Alice]

Mille, somewhat missing the point for a moment in a fervor of passion, looked at Cu Chulainn with a determined expression on her face. "I-I'm ready for anything! I can't become stronger if I'm not! Bring it on, I'll face any challenge that's presented to me!" She paused for a moment. "P-provided it's halfway within reason," she added sheepishly.

Sad that this all had to end so soon (Forest leaning into him had been strangely pleasant, after all, as had been working through her hair), Tom made one last stroke before replacing the brush on the vanity.

"I'm not normally one to believe in such things, but perhaps I jinxed us by saying things would die down." He smirked. "Perhaps pajamas are the best choice of apparel after all for the moment. It would indicate that you are in a state of mind where you do not wish to be bothered."

[Cherry Lover]

"Fair enough, I thought he was trying to say something else. Go, take care of the vampire business", Satoshi said as she walked out of the room.

Hmm, I didn't expect him to go along with it quite so enthusiastically, she thought.

Rider followed the guy downstairs, taking little notice of his threat. She had yet to see any evidence that he could come even close to harming her, after all.

The guy entered what appeared to be Forest's office. There was a poster on the wall saying "Army of Darkness", a nice retro desktop computer and a decent-looking old-style stereo system. Honestly, it reminded Rider of her master's younger years, when Aoi and Kariya had been mere children.

After taking a moment to look around, Rider addressed the vampire.

"OK, what is it you wanted to talk about? And, why did you attack that girl? I assume you needed to feed, but why attack her?" she asked.

[Elf]

Lancer laughed at Millie's enthusiasm and his innuendo going right over her head.  He chuckled at her determined proclamation then sheepish amendment.  Then he stroked her hair with a grin.

"Any challenge within reason eh?  Well, I don't think you're ready for my kind of challenges," he said with a wink.

******

Forest said, "If you jinxed us I'll . . . think of something really creative and somewhat naughty later, but pajamas would be good.  Besides, this is my bloody abode.  I can where whatever the sod I want."

Then she wandered into her huge walk in closet, finding something for both of them.  She appeared with her arms full of clothing.  A pair if black silk boxers and black silk pajamas were thrust upon her lover.  They would fit Tom, if a little big in the shoulders and waist, but not overly so.

"My Godson's chest and shoulder are bigger than yours, so they'll be a little loose," she explained as she began to put on a pair of violet micro-fiber pajamas.  Frowning at the sheer unsexiness of the outfit, she realized she might have to go lingerie shopping. 

[Alice]

Mille's heart began to pound even more wildly- even if her stubborn nature meant she was misunderstanding him, her body certainly didn't.

"A-and what sorts of challenges would those be?" she asked. "T-though... I suppose if a hero of your caliber says I'm not ready, I'm not ready," she added, with just a hint of disappointment. Not in him, really, but in herself.

***

"If you jinxed us I'll . . . think of something really creative and somewhat naughty later, but pajamas would be good.  Besides, this is my bloody abode.  I can where whatever the sod I want."

"That's fair," Tom replied with both a bit of a chuckle and also not even the slightest hint of sarcasm.

Then she wandered into her huge walk in closet, finding something for both of them.  She appeared with her arms full of clothing.  A pair if black silk boxers and black silk pajamas were thrust upon her lover.  They would fit Tom, if a little big in the shoulders and waist, but not overly so.

"My Godson's chest and shoulder are bigger than yours, so they'll be a little loose," she explained as she began to put on a pair of violet micro-fiber pajamas.  Frowning at the sheer unsexiness of the outfit, she realized she might have to go lingerie shopping.

Tom stood there for a moment, not used to wearing clothing with this luxurious of material. "I don't think that'll be much of a problem," he said with some bemusement.

He dressed himself in the silken boxers and pajamas before floating the towel to the laundry hamper, not noticing Forest frowning at the lack of sexiness in her pajamas in the process. As Forest had said, they were a bit loose, but it was hardly noticeable, and it was still quite comfortable. He would have to get used to the feel of silk against his skin, however.

"Thank you." He turned to her only to see her in her own pajamas. She looked quite comfortable, and while they weren't form fitting, they still looked nice on her and somewhat... what was the word? Cute?

"Those look nice on you," he said with a smile.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

"OK, what is it you wanted to talk about? And, why did you attack that girl? I assume you needed to feed, but why attack her?" she asked.

"Because I didn't fucking attack her." God this fucking misunderstanding the Mick had created. I had half a mind to bust some teeth out of his head sometime.
"The idiot, Connor, decides its a lovely idea to scream at me as I'm trying to exit. He thought I was trying to attack the girl he was obviously planning to fuck in her sleep. Now, I'm tired, low on blood, and being screamed at and threatened with the sharp end of a bedpost. So, like we're prone to doing I start to fall into a frenzy, but I keep a leash on my instincts, and I'm about to calm down before I jumped on the mick and tear out his throat with my teeth after draining him dry when Forest decides it's a good idea to touch me. So instead, I bite her, she cum's buckets from the Kiss, and fucking hell breaks loose."

Taking a slight break to imitate a sigh - not a bad job considering I can feel the Blush of Life starting to drain away and my gut beginning to reject the drink - I launch into the second half.

"Anyway, misunderstandings ensue, namely spearheaded by Connor. But enough about that, we have some matters we need to discuss, especially if you're new to the city."

[Elf]

Lancer tilted his head and heard her heart pick up.  He patted her leg and said, "We just met.  Besides, sometimes the chase is almost as fun as claiming the spoils."

******

Dark Archer started his way back to the kitchen, lost in thought.  He saw the group of people gathered by the steps and moved to avoid them.  However, that wasn't so easy when it involved a blind girl in a wheelchair.

******

Forest blinked at Tom's complement and said, "Thank you . . . Plus they're super comfortable too."  She absently tugged at the too long sleeves while studying Tom.  The black silk contrasted nicely with his white hair, fair skin and violet eyes.

She smiled and said, "Well, you look fantastic."  Then she reached up to help straighten his glasses.  "There."

[lantzblades]

Satoshi moved Taiga out of the way and signaled Tsukasa to take care of the kids.

"Archer, can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked

[Alice]

Mille blinked before the innuendos finally started to sink in. If she hadn't been flushed full blast already, she would be now. "...I think now I understand what you mean. I'm probably not quite ready for that yet." Stubborn and strong willed as Mille was, there were cases where even she had to admit she was in over her head. This was one of them.

***

Tom nodded a "you're welcome" to Forest- he was glad that the garment was comfortable and easy to wear, but that seemed obvious enough, given how they looked.

She smiled and said, "Well, you look fantastic."  Then she reached up to help straighten his glasses.  "There."

His cheeks turned pink. "T-thank you."

However, the blush didn't last long, as he could hear voices coming from Forest's office. He narrowed his eyes as he turned towards the door.

"It appears your intruders think your office is fit for their private discussions. Shall we interrupt?"

[Elf]

Lancer laughed and said, "That's what I thought.  I'm just having a bit of fun at your expense, that's all."

Unlike Ryoko, who had just grabbed him and kissed him.  He shook his head at the thought of the two very different redheads he'd met tonight.

******

Archer sighed, looked at the blond kid and said, "This has better be worth my time."

******

"If anyone has touched the Army of Darkness poster I will have someone's ass," Forest said in a low voice as she headed towards the office.  She paused, her keen hearing able to pick up the conversation.

Scowling, she threw open her door and stalked to the office with a cry of, "I did not cum buckets!"

[lantzblades]

Satoshi nodded "I think it will, we should talk in private though" he replied.

[Alice]

Mille sighed. "I should have picked up on that sooner." She looked away. "Maybe some people are right. Maybe I'm too serious about things."

***

Tom followed Forest only to pause at the sound of her outburst. He rushed to her side, giving the conversing pair one of his best intimidating glares.

If you wish me to inflict some sort of harm on either one of them, just give me the word, Tom said telepathically to Forest.
