Cross Effects 3.0 - April 13, 2015—June 23, 2016

[Kotomine_Rin]

(not) Lorenzo

The golden eyed man looked up at Medaka weakly and smiled before he closed his eyes and hugged her.

"Liar. You're just going to let me die like the last time and pretend it never happened." He said weakly, oddly happily and casually considering his apparent situation.

"You never really cared about me, did you? That's why you didn't even bury me after you murdered me. Right?"

[yinsukin]

Broken Medaka

"No. I always cared.  I cared so much."  She said, unable to articulate her feelings. "I tried to find your body.  I was going to look all night if I had too."

Just then, Medaka had an epiphany.  If he was still able to talk this much, she could take him to the hospital.  It was not very far away, maybe two or three blocks tops.  Plus with, her speed she could make it there in a matter of minutes.

"Just hold on.  Stay alive.  Please."  She begged softly, tears continuing to roll down her face.  She picked him up, holding him bridal style.  With him in her arms she began sprinting out of the crater.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Definetely not Lorenzo

Lornezo glared at her and slapped her hand away, backing off.

"Shut. Up." He growled angrily, the fury in his eyes now clear.

"I am supposed to keep living I can play pretend longer and make a fool of myself? And what for, so I can be your little hugbox for when you're not feeling happy about yourself? You're going to 'save' me so you can pretend nothing bad happened and wish it all away? And for who? Me, or you!?"

Then, he walked right up to her and looked at her straight in the eye.

"Aye, why don't you tell me why you want to save me in the first place? Come on, bark like you're so good at! Enlighten me, miss prez!"

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka stood silent, taken back by Lorenzo's strange outburst of anger.  He did have a point.  She was probably being selfish, only trying to save him to make herself feel better.  After all, if she can save him, that means she did not fail.  After staying silent for several seconds, she scowled at him.

"I need to save you!  Its my job!  I was born to help others!"  She wailed defensively.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Nameless Dumy

"So in the end, this was all simply a game to you. You helped me because you 'had' to. It's all about you, you, you, you! And now, it's still all about you! Oh, what's that? You failed to save one simple human being? BOHOO!"

Then, he gripped her shoulders viciously and yelled, unable to contain his anger anymore.

"You never loved or cared about me. You only cared about the little fantasy you were playing. You never tried to know me, or understand me! You simply accepted me so long as the little image you had of me stayed the same! Did you ever as much as ask me WHAT was wrong with me!? Did you ever question why I'd get better all of a sudden after crying like a little bitch!? Or why I was smiling so cheerfully when things were obviously going wrong!? Hell, you probably thought to yourself I WAS FINE! Simply because you were too busy thinking about you, your little 'duty' and your little head to even imagine what I was feeling!! A monster like you would never be able to understand love! You 'love' humans!? You don't even understand humans! So tell me, who'se fault is this! WHO'SE FAULT IS IT!" He roared, pointing to his now crumbling body. It was as if a statue of sand was now breaking apart and dissappearing into dust.

[yinsukin]

Depressed Medaka

Medaka stepped back as Lorenzo gripped her body.  Her face immediately lost its intensity as he attacked her verbally.

"No.... I always loved you.  I had faith that you would pull through.  Because I knew you were strong!"  She wailed, tears now pouring down her face like two large waterfalls.

She attempted to hug him as he disappeared.

"Please... Don't go!  I love you!  I swear I do!  You know I wouldn't lie!  PLEASE!"  She begged through her tears.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lorenzo the crusher of hope.

'It' glared at her and laughed, mad laughter unbefitting of any sane intellect. Backing away, the crumbling body took a much more casual pose.

"Sorry, sorry. I've gotten a bit too far with my joke there. I promise I won't do that again, Me-Da-Ka." He said cheerfully, his smile growing more perverse by the second. Then, he tossed a flintlock at her feet.

"Kill yourself. If you can do that, t's all going to be under the bridge! After that, we can forgive eachother and be together forever. I'll be sure that you love me, I won't doubt you again. If you really say you can live for me, then surely you can die for me." He said with the biggest, brightest smile ever.

"Besides, it's not like your life is worth anything, might as well do it. Who knows, perhaps someone who can actually protect people will take your place. Whatchasay? "

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka stared down at the flintlock on the ground.  Joke?  Kill yourself?  Would he ever say such a thing?  And that smile.  It was completely out of character. 

She looked around the crater.  He was no where to be found.  Then, she walked up to the crumbling Lorenzo, held the trigger to her head and spoke softly and clearly.

"I trust you."  She responded warmly.

Without hesitation, she fired the flintlock.  The impact of the gun shot sent her flying to the ground.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Tohuw Balagan

The ground opened wide it's eyes and bulged. Instantly, what was once an impostor of Lorenzo Remei twisted and churned until it took the shape of an odd pitch black tail, and from the ground Tohuw Balagan burst out, a look of complete fury all over him.

His eyes were now bloodshot red, his monocle gone, his teeth sharp and claws sharper. Running quickly to her, he cried out in outrage and anger with an inhuman howl.

"YOU BLOODY IDIOT!!!!!!"

Rage, shock, indignation. Did he perhaps care more about Medaka than he let on? No. He was simply and utterly furious that his toy would decide to kill itself without his permission. Without even noticing, he was biting his nails off to release his pent up stress. This was bad. Awful.

He hated to admit it, he cursed to have to admit it, but he had gone too far. But he couldn't allow the toy he worked so hard to obtain to waste away here and now. He hated it, he hated it, he hated it, he hated it!! But even so, even so...


She was not supposed to do that! She was supposed to fight back, to struggle and writhe like a human would. It would've been interesting, it would've been FUN! But instead, she decided to choose the coward's way out and end it all! End his fun! He would not allow it, HE COULD NOT ALOW IT!

"DON'T YOU DIE! DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME DO YOU UNDERSTAND!? I WON'T FORGIVE YOU, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!! JUST DON'T DIE!!! PLEASE!!!! He roared at her, gripping her tightly with a look which begged her to not die.

So he held her like one would wear his bride, running as fast as he could. He could make her a bit lighter and make his steps longer, leaping around to travel faster. He needed to get to that place, if he could just get to that place.

Internally, the demon cursed this whole predicament. He would have asked of a human not one, but two favors in a day. Far too much for one, no, ten thousand life times.

In the end, she would have the last laugh? Intolerable, unacceptable, unforgivable! He was Tohuw Balagan, the great demon prince, patron of madness and master of all folly. He would not let a snotty human girl get the best of him.

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka lifted her eyes slightly as she heard the screaming of Toe.  Her vision was blurry and it was difficult to hear over the sound of the ringing in her ears.  Still, it wasn't hard to tell what was going on.  Even if Toe tricked her, he still cared for her safety.  At least, that's what she told herself as he carried her in his arms screaming like a mother who had lost her child.

Her lips stretched into a satisfied half smile.

"I guess you should trust me more."  She muttered before losing consciousness.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Tohuw Balagan

Tohuw looked down at the stupid, stupid girl and gave her the dirtiest look imaginable. His red eyes were practically screaming bloody murder. Despite that, he looked like he was on the verge of tears.

"Save your breath." He growled, unable to yell any longer or any louder. So he hopped around silently, damning it all along the way. And then, he arrived near the castle.

He tried to open the gate, but for some reason he couldn't pass trough. He couldn't get in from around, above or below. He didn't notice earlier, but the whole thing was covered with wards. He didn't. Have. The fucking. Time.

Growiling, he whipped his tail. A pink Dora the Explorer cellphone appeared around the tail. He dialed the number and called Irisviel. Well, it wasn't her phone or her cellphone. He didn't know their numbers, nor did he need to. Another one appeared in her pocket.

Once he pushed the call button, the new cellphone rang with the 'FUN song' as ringtone.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Urthemiel

The clothing of the Old God had changed once more. Although he still wore purple robes with his mark emblazoned proudly in the center they were now lined with material that looked akin to silver and his back depicted all of the Old Gods in a circle. He had abandoned his cape in favor of pauldrons crafted from the same feathers that had formed his cape.

His skin was a bit less pale but his burning purple eyes were no less bright and no less beautiful. Black hair tinted at the ends with purple was cut short but was still just as fair. He seemed like a perfectly charming young man as he examined the castle before him. It was rather plain all things considered. Certainly to others it would appear large and grandiose but it lacked the decor of a proper place. It lacked the towering spectacles of precious metals of the Imperium. The smell of rare incenses and the displays of power that the magisters performed. It was infinitely less than the crystal spires entwined within the branches of Elvhenan and could not hold a candle to the statue of gods interwoven with enough magic to kill the strongest of beings. But it was adequate he supposed.

His thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of the demon. The creature he had so easily sent fleeing before, but he carried that girl as well. The one that he had rescued not too long ago. Considering the state of the false being and the fact that he was carrying the girl like that Urthemiel was provoked into action. It would be a terrible thing if the girl was to scar. Death was also a concern considering how frantic the insect was but the Old God was not quite sure which was worse. Regardless it would be unbefitting of the Dragon of Beauty to allow anything he deemed beautiful to perish so quickly without leaving anything of worth behind.

With that in mind he calmly walked towards them. "You seem distressed, creature. Is there something wrong with the girl? I am a mage and I would be capable of helping her if she was injured. My sister would be most displeased if something she found and proclaimed was worth preserving was to perish so quickly."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Tohuw Balagan

Tohuw turned frigid as he heard a voice creeping behind him. It was oddly familiar, he could have sworn he heard it somewhere...

Quickly, he made his cellphone become nothing and turned his head to face whoever was behind him.

"Um, do I know you?" He asked sheepishly.

[SINIB]

Irisviel

Iri laughed nervously. “I’m sorry, I just was trying to be a bit silly. I was offering to give you some warmer clothes to wear.” Irisviel heard her phone start to ring with an odd ringtone. She pulled out her phone and realized something. It wasn't her phone. It was-um-she'd heard of stuff like this! It was called something like a...superphone? She didn't know how to use this!

So, Irisviel looked helplessly at the screen as it rang with an utterly helpless and confused look on her face. She just couldn't figure out what exactly it wanted her to slide!

[Umbra of Chaos]

Urthemiel

The man smiled in a way that his previous forms could never do. The haughtiness or mocking nature he would have exuded before was replaced with something that was quite genuine. "You don't know me, although I most definitely know you. You put a beard on Urzara as she paraded around in her male form. But I'm sure introductions can wait. The girl?"
