Cross Effects- The RP

[Alice]

Hakuno forced a smile, not wanting to worry the little familiar, and simply nodded in response.

Finn turned to Ruu, once again affecting the demenor of a military commander, albeit more playfully this time. "Alright, this little lady's the one we're here to help. We're gonna help her watch this marathon, and we're gonna help her watch it good. You ready to rock little buddy?"

He turned to Hakuno, and his smile faded a little. "Hey, you alright over there?" he wispered. "You look a little uncomfortable."

Hakuno forced another smile and shook her head. "I'm fine."

"If you say so. If ya need anything though, I'm right here."

Hakuno smiled in response, this time genuinely, and nodded. She turned towards the television, to begin her magical girl education.

***

Well, that was a waste of time. Well, all I can do for now is go back to what I needed to do before this mess happened. As far as Archer could tell, the most recent drama had ended, and there wasn't much his younger self could do to cause damage. So he marched back to the kitchen, hoping to find Forest there. After all, Hakuno still needed clothes, and now that the kitchen was repaired, he needed to prepare a meal.

***

"There, I think I have it," Archer said with a smile before propelling Rin under the spray to get rinsed off.

Rin let a happy sigh slip out as the pleasantly warm water washed over her, but her comfort was short lived as she heard a familiar voice.

The corrupted Archer chuckled as he heard their Landlady's accented Japanese shout at him.  He looked at Rin and asked, "Do you want to play Auntie after we get done here?"  He bent forward and kissed the side of her neck.  "Not that we're going to rush to get to the kid though."

Rin sighed again, this time with some irritation. "What awful timing. And just when we were getting started again too. I probably need to get out there, he's probably lonely and scared without his parents here." The corners of her lips perked up into a mischievous smile. "Still, I do need to finish cleaning up. Certain hard to reach places included. I would say we have enough time for that at least, don't you agree?"

***

Standing over the crumpled corpse of her former would-be assailant, the vampire wiped her mouth and turned in the direction her other prey had wandered off to. She had a faint grasp on the girl's scent, the faint scent of tea and spices and a hint of metal. "Not bad sweetie, but make sure you make sure your enemy is actually dead next time, hm? Though I definitely know not to underestimate you so much, that was... oh, a bit close for comfort, if I do say so." She turned to look down at her victim. "Wouldn't you agree?"

The man's eyes just stared up blankly, his mouth still agape in surprise and horror, just like it'd been in his final moments. Stepping over the body, the vampire began to track the wannabe hero, confident that she'd find her soon enough.

---
Rebecca stared up at the massive Complex, her expression a bit wistful.

This is it. This is probably where they're staying. And if not, well... Forest should be here, right? She might know where they are.
Without a word, Rebecca began to circle the Complex, searching for the entrance.

[Elf]

Archer chuckled at Rin's annoyance and said, "We have plenty of time."

He would have loved to just taken her there against the wall, but that would be too soon for his lover.  He knew he'd get frenzied and possibly harm her.  However, washing her was an enticing prospect.  He grabbed the loofa sponge and began to lather it up.  He asked, "Now, will you help me with those hard to reach places, Rin?"

******

Forest had showered and dressed within record time.  Since she wasn't going back out for the night, she dressed in dark blue flannel pajama bottoms, a black turtle neck, and braided her hair into two braids to keep it out of the way.  The one person she would have liked to impress wasn't interested and she got the feeling she was being "friend zoned" by him.

So she figured she'd go drown her sorrows with some Bruce Campbell.  On the way to the living room though, she grabbed an extra pair of clothing, jeans, underwear, and a t-shirt, for Hakuno.  When she reached the living room, she was glad to have gotten them because the girl looked as uncomfortable as hell. 

The blond waved her bundle and said, "I've got clothing.  This'll do until we can take you out shopping proper."

Standing over the crumpled corpse of her former would-be assailant, the vampire wiped her mouth and turned in the direction her other prey had wandered off to. She had a faint grasp on the girl's scent, the faint scent of tea and spices and a hint of metal. "Not bad sweetie, but make sure you make sure your enemy is actually dead next time, hm? Though I definitely know not to underestimate you so much, that was... oh, a bit close for comfort, if I do say so." She turned to look down at her victim. "Wouldn't you agree?"

The man's eyes just stared up blankly, his mouth still agape in surprise and horror, just like it'd been in his final moments. Stepping over the body, the vampire began to track the wannabe hero, confident that she'd find her soon enough.

I'm just going to be typing all of Jacks stuff in first person. Because Noir is what I'm aiming for with him.

I saw the first broad - the faker - get up after that pounding the girl had given her. Stake to the heart - Jesus, that'd put any blood sucker down. Except her. Maybe it missed, like both of them missed me. Being Kindred had it's perks.

I was going to step in myself before the girl did. It ain't right, how this city's degraded. I've seen it all, remembered a time when this was a nice place to live for the most part. Now? People lock their doors at night. There's gunshots every five seconds. Things I have never even heard of popping up in town, doing weird unnatural shit like I'd just seen.

She'd drained the thug dry - I never went in for that, raised too many questions - after she got up, taking a life like most people would stomp on ants. It wasn't kind of me to do this, and I'd never done it before, but sending her to the final death was probably best for this town. I'd drink like a fish after this, real whisky down my dead throat before it'd come right back up. Problem is I can't get drunk, not off of just drinking anymore. I've gotta find some old sauced up wino and drink until his red nose turns white, and when I did do that... well, I nearly fell off the wagon, drained some young pretty thing within an inch of her life before someone pulled me off of her and shoved a stake through my heart.

Idiot pulled it out afterwords and I got away, but thank Christ he was there. Shoulda left it in and left me for the sun.

So I opened my stupid mouth, something I never should do, and spoke, "I'd agree, ya bloodsuckin' tramp." The .357 police revolver, a Colt Python, was in my jacket pocket. I'd shoved some .38 special in it like a moron today. Like that'd do shit to this girl.  Still, she couldn't be as tough as me. "Now, back off and call this a night before this gets ugly. You ain't the only one who needs to feed in this city."

[Alice]

The woman tossed her hair before turning to her fellow vampire. "Hmm? You interested in the little girl too? I would like to think I have dibs, since the little bitch rammed a stake so close to my heart, but I'd be willing to share~"

***

Hakuno and Finn turned around to look at Forest. A faint blush lit up Finn's cheeks as he greeted the now clean and more comfortably clothed vampire. "Hey there, Forest." His blush intensified as he added, "you look nice."

Hakuno smiled, grateful, and walked over to take the clothing. Before she could thank Forest, however...

"Oh, there's some clothes for you~ Now you don't need the transformation anymore~"

And then the uniform was gone. Hakuno let out a small cry as she quickly worked to keep her towel around herself.

Finn shook his head. "That wasn't very nice, ya know, Miss Magical Girl stick." He then turned away politely to give Hakuno some privacy.

***

Even though it was faint, Archer heard his master cry out, and immediately beelined for her location. It didn't take long for him to get there, but...

"A-archer?!"

Hakuno's had been blushing hard before, but now her face was as red as a beet. Archer quickly turned away, now with a blush of his own. "Y-you should probably get behind something, Master. I'll project something for you if I have to."

***

Rin nodded. "Now then, do you mean my hard to reach places..." She hesitated for a moment, as she was still learning the ins and outs. But it didn't take long for her to pluck up her courage and gently begin to caress a large vein on his shaft with her finger. "..or yours?"

[Elf]

Forest's eyes widened as poor Hakuno was suddenly naked.  She flicked the magical stick and said, "Ruby, that was a bloody awful thing for you to do!  You don't go around leaving young women naked."

Then, to make things worse, or funnier, Archer ran in the room.  He was obviously flustered by his Master's lack of clothing, stammering, "Y-you should probably get behind something, Master. I'll project something for you if I have to."

Forest raised her eyebrow at Ruby and said, "You planned this, you magnificent little git?"  She pressed the clothing to Hakuno and said, "There's a look right around the corner.  Hurry there and get dressed before your Servant has a heart attack."

******

A groan passed its way through Archer's lips as Rin began to stroke him.  He was already hard and swollen just by being in contact with her, but this brought him to full attention.  He smiled at that and began to nibble on her throat.  "Well, since you want to take the lead, I'll allow you to go first."

He did wrap his hand around hers, guiding her to show that he liked a bit more pressure and friction than what she was giving.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

The woman tossed her hair before turning to her fellow vampire. "Hmm? You interested in the little girl too? I would like to think I have dibs, since the little bitch rammed a stake so close to my heart, but I'd be willing to share~"

So she'd been nearly staked. Wasn't an Aswang then, or Jian Shi - might be one of the weird types then, the ones that don't play by any of the normal rules. Probably not Kindred, though.

"Nah, she ain't my type. You got your fill so leave her be, or you'll answer to me. Kaapesh?"

It wasn't the most concrete answer, and she'd just fed. The broad would think I was hogging her for myself then. Fine.  "If you want her so badly, you go through me, got it?"

I was hungry. There was blood on the ground, the scent filling my nostrils with its heady scent. God, I could just pin her down right now, right here, have my way with her and leave her empty and broken. I felt a little pop, as my fangs fully extended. Oh, please please please let her say no.

[Bloble]

Axe Cop instantly sensed that he'd be able to get along with this person. Or rather, that they'd be able to communicate. At the very least, they both had an intrinsic appreciation for rules and morals. He displayed his badge, axe still looped through his belt.

"Sorry for the interruption, citizen, but I have reason to believe that there is a criminal taking refuge in this building. A gunshot was heard a few minutes ago around this area, and a vehicle linked to an earlier crime was found parked outside. Under current law I'm allowed to enter without a warrant for the purposes of investigating. You wouldn't mind if I took a look around, would you? I'll even promise not to chop the criminal's head off if I see him."

Axe Cop also thought he sensed another presence approaching the building, but shook off the feeling. It must've just been interference from the sheer volume of 'danger' the building, and in fact, the man in front of him, exuded. Hm. He was missing close combat on his team, and that blue hair was almost as good as a cop hat...

[Mordalfus Grea]

"You two could have been a bit more subtle and raided a blood bank" A new voiced spoke out from the shadows as an elderly homeless leaped from a rooftop with agility that did not match the person before them, the homeless woman's appearance shifted to that of a well endowed blonde haired woman in a dark red military uniform "Or one of the many illegal clinics in the area" she finished calmly as she pulled a blood pack from seemingly no where and began to drain it like a six-year old kid wiuld drain their kool aid jammer.

[Alice]

The lady vampire's coy smile faded. "You seem awfully protective of that girl. An acquaintance of yours? You might want to tell her it's hardly polite to interrupt someone during a meal. Or go wandering about playing hero in the alleyways, just asking to be eaten."

She then heard the new voice, and frowned at the newcomer. "It's none of your business. Besides, there's pleasure in the hunt. You don't want to spoil my fun, do you?"

---
Rebecca froze. There was the entryway, but it was blocked by a police officer and who she suspected to be Lancer. She contemplated what to do for a bit, before deciding to do what she often did- charge in headfirst.

"Hey there, Mr. Officer, Mr. Blue-haired guy. How's it goin'?"

***

Forest's eyes widened as poor Hakuno was suddenly naked.  She flicked the magical stick and said, "Ruby, that was a bloody awful thing for you to do!  You don't go around leaving young women naked.

Ruby bounced around innocently. "But she has clothes now, she didn't need the transformation anymore~ Plus she has that towel around her, so she's not completely naked~"

Hakuno glared at her. She probably would have flicked her too if she wasn't struggling to hold the towel up.

"Still wasn't very nice of ya, leavin' poor Miss Haku with nothin' but a towel," Finn said, still looking away.

Then, to make things worse, or funnier, Archer ran in the room.  He was obviously flustered by his Master's lack of clothing, stammering, "Y-you should probably get behind something, Master. I'll project something for you if I have to."

Forest raised her eyebrow at Ruby and said, "You planned this, you magnificent little git?"

"Maaayyybe~"

[Forest] pressed the clothing to Hakuno and said, "There's a look right around the corner.  Hurry there and get dressed before your Servant has a heart attack."

Hakuno nodded, quickly grabbing the clothing and fleeing so she could change at last. She hastily dressed herself before returning to the living room still blushing.

Archer, in the meantime, still blushing a bit himself, turned to Forest. "S-so, I'm guessing my Master isn't the only one that needs to be fed. While I'd have to see what's still left in your kitchen before I'll know what I'll be able to cook, having a general idea of how many people I need to feed would help."

***

A small gasp of pleasure escaped Rin's lips as Archer nibbled her throat. Glad for Archer's guidance, Rin continued to stroke his member, changing her finger's movements in the way he'd just shown her. While she was enjoying the feel of him, she hoped that she had changed her movements enough to his satisfaction. This was about both their pleasures, after all.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

"You two could have been a bit more subtle and raided a blood bank" A new voiced spoke out from the shadows as an elderly homeless leaped from a rooftop with agility that did not match the person before them, the homeless woman's appearance shifted to that of a well endowed blonde haired woman in a dark red military uniform "Or one of the many illegal clinics in the area" she finished calmly as she pulled a blood pack from seemingly no where and began to drain it like a six-year old kid wiuld drain their kool aid jammer.

...Now that was a new trick. That could prove handy for me to learn if I could. The Beast inside roared with aggression, raising its hackles at the new intruder.

"I don't get as much nutrition from the blood packs. Besides, blood tastes best warm, like good whiskey."

I... when had I gotten within grabbing distance of the first vampire? And when had my claws come out? Cool it Jack, don't let the blood get to you.

"And I'm not with the tramp here. Just happened to be passing by."

The lady vampire's coy smile faded. "You seem awfully protective of that girl. An acquaintance of yours? You might want to tell her it's hardly polite to interrupt someone during a meal. Or go wandering about playing hero in the alleyways, just asking to be eaten."

She then heard the new voice, and frowned at the newcomer. "It's none of your business. Besides, there's pleasure in the hunt. You don't want to spoil my fun, do you?"

"You're asking to get eaten. You and your lot have already fucked with the masquerade enough. If you don't stop chasing her, I will put you down, right here, right now."

I couldn't do it. I couldn't' do it. What sort of shitty vampire hasn't killed someone before? Me, that's who.

[Elf]

She snorted at Finn's response and said, "I doubt Ruby cares about being 'nice'."

Forest nodded at Archer's question and said, "Well, Kiyoshi definitely needs something to eat, then there's Taiga, the little redheaded girl who could use a good meal too.  So there's at least two there.  I'd wager that Lawrence could use food too, and maybe Rin and your asshole self.  If what you are does need to eat then."

She glared at Ruby, then looked at Hakuno.  "Maybe instead of being a magical girl, you should be a witch instead.  Witches are far more bad assed and wear better clothing."

******

Archer's free hand moved to Rin's side, gently holding her as they worked together.  The feeling of her slim, warm fingers around him, stroking with the near perfect blind of friction and pressure was going to be his undoing.  He moved to kiss her, not losing pace as he did.

******

Lancer nodded, eying the cop's axe and sensing a kindred warrior.  He moved out of the way and said, "Course, come on in.  We've got an odd bunch of people who live here.  Some of which are assholes, but I wouldn't call . . . Okay, yeah, there is this one arsehole that is a criminal I think.  Bastard cheats in a battle."

[Mordalfus Grea]

"Quite right." Seras stated before she stabbed her Shadow arm forward at the offending vampiress, what appeared to be thousands of bladed tendrils began ripping apart that unfortunate vampiress before the other fellow could even hope to off the wicked wench himself. It was a gruesome end for that vampiress being torn apart in such a manner but in truth Seras had seen worse ways to go, she knew that the wench would receive her punishment in the afterlife. But low and behold the vampiress still lived as she clung to life or rather unlife desperately, turning her attention to the other fellow she smiled in his direction.

"You can finish her off now, but use this instead" Seras tossed the man an old but customised Desert Eagle .50 Handgun "Its loaded with explosive blessed silver bullets that are made for sending the misguided on their way to hell, much like this poor sod and don't worry about any noise, it's got a built in silencer for putting them down quietly"

[Bloble]

"Cheating in a fight is definitely a sign of a bad guy," Axe Cop said. "Why, just this morning I confronted a lady running around and shooting ghost blasts at everyone without a license, but all she did was say some stupid stuff about being god-like and too good for mortal laws. Then she teleported away like a coward. And that was after I offered to let her off, too. You just can't find a good fight these days without someone trying to ruin everything."

Then another girl appeared from behind them. So this was the presence... well, she looked harmless enough.

"Hello," he said to the girl. "I'd recommend not going inside right now. We've got a suspected criminal in here. It might be dangerous. Actually, scratch that, it's really dangerous. I'm sensing enough 'danger' in here to flatten a city. Anyone not as strong as me would only get in the way. But since you're here, mind watching the door? The criminal might try to run off. All I know is that it's a woman with black hair dressed like a ninja, and two brown or black haired men."

It was okay to ask a random person for help, since Axe Cop had taken the time to switch on his Morality Sensing glasses. He could tell if someone was a good or bad guy, and if they were lying. The girl seemed nice enough, so there was no problem.

[Elf]

Lancer nodded and said, "Real men don't rely on nasty tricks to win a battle, ye kin?"

Then the Celt's crimson eyes sparkled as he said, "I'm always on the look for a good fight.  I've got a match planned with Joe over there.  He looks like he'll give me trouble. It'll be great."  Then Lancer shook his head and said, "Anyway, there's this arsehole bad guy in here.  He's corrupted by evil as well; you can see on him and I can smell it.  Just don't cause any trouble for my landlady and I'll see what I can do about giving you that fight."

Lancer grinned, held out his hand, and said, "They call me Lancer."

[Bloble]

"Axe Cop. It's a pleasure. I'll try not to mess with your lady."

Privately, Axe Cop assured himself that Secret Attacks were most definitely not cheating, or nasty tricks. Okay, maybe the Free Poison Soda attack was a bit underhanded, but if you got taken out by that then you were probably too dumb to fight properly in the first place.

He entered the complex, one hand on his axe the entire time. The feeling of danger intensified.

Axe Cop eventually decided that subtlety was for morons. He was a police officer with every right to be there! Why should he be creeping around like some kind of bad guy?

He opened the door to the first room he saw, his badge proudly displayed on his chest and axe, despite an urge to pull it out, still on his belt loop.

"Citizens, this is the police! I have reason to believe that a criminal resides among you. Please stop what you're doing and tell me everything you know."
