Cross Effects 3.0 - October 21, 2015—June 23, 2016

[Elf]

Saber

Saber smiled at Iri's reply and said, "I will buzz you up.  Then you should be able to open the door."

She hit the control that would allow Iri into the apartment complex.  "I am waiting here for you."


Corbin

And his femme fatal vampire just kicked the poor Space Marine like some empty can.  He winced at the sight before she turned to him and demanded to know what an Elite was.

"We're kinda like a special task force.  We do what the muggle cops can't, I guess.  I dunno, I just know I get paid pretty well to hunt vampires," Corbin said with a shrug.  "Which was why I was trying to warn you and your little Lolita pal because I didn't want to do some vampire hunting off duty."

He smiled and said, "Sorry I called you a cunt, that was me being a real sod."


Rin

"You can contract with me again, if you want," Rin offered, heat filling her cheeks, "I'm probably more compatible with you anyway and I want to make sure you have a proper supply."

I've lost you once, I'm sure as hell not going to lose you again, Rin thought.

"Drooling at a girl?  What sort of pathetic excuse of a Master did you contract with?"


Forest

 "Oi, oi, are ya really such a hot shit or a cheater? Getting into my head, ain't you? I might be a country girl, not some posh rich folk from Kyoto, but fucking ask first for invitation if you invade my soul."

Rikuyo went on, "I rarely do what I will do next since I cannot help but want to really screw over whom I fight, but I'm in a bad mood."

The girl didn't physically transform, but her bloodlust was palatable.  She wanted to tear Forest apart, beat her and show that Rikuyo was superior.  "Shut up. She's dead already anyway. And I'm not pissed enough yet." She said to herself, "Round 2."

"In a real fight," Forest said as she stared Rikuyo in the eyes, "There's no permission given.  And I didn't invade your soul, I gleamed your thought from your mind because you were openly projecting it.  If I were to 'invade your soul', you wouldn't be so talkative right now."

Rikuyo was right; she was simple.  Changing her perspective on everything would be so easy for Forest.  It would be as easy as opening up her Gmail account.  In the back of her head she could hear a voice that sounded exactly like Wynn's urging her to do it.

Come now.  You did not even want this fight in the first place.  If the child is going to do such things and has powers that you do not, take the one advantage that you have.

No.  Not now, not giving into that is part of what makes me who I am, Forest thought, shaking her head.

Sighing, she held up her hand and said, "I yield.  You've won the fight."

[Kat]

Rikuyo

Forest was ranting at her about never invading her soul, about Rikuyo's thoughts being so visible to her that she didn't need to. Bullshit. She never opened her heart to her. She wasn't her friend, she wasn't companion not a lover. Even calling her an acquittance would be stretching it. She wouldn't be talking if she did, huh? If she really thought she was such a bigshot, she should have followed on her threat. Agitated, Rikuyo made another step.

Then she heard the woman yielding.

"What, you won't even resist? How boring. It won't be even fun anymore." The disappointment on her face was evident. What could have been a fight to prove who was a superior predator would be a onesided slaughter if Forest didn't resist. She kicked a piece of rubble that fell down from the ceiling like an upset child. "Even Michael was more fun than this. And Richard and that boy were miles ahead of him." She mumbled to herself, her hostility abating. There was no point to that anymore.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

"Hmpfh, If you are really feeling sorry you should allow me to feed from you". The blond vampire said as she slowly walked over to the man, when she reached him she leaned up to him and gently pressing her body into his. Then she asked. "So will you allow me this?"

[Elf]

Forest

Forest shrugged and said, "Someone once told me the sign of a true warrior is to know when not to fight.  Someone else told me that even monsters should have lines that they won't cross.  If you don't understand, then you don't understand.  I could waste both of our time explaining it, but in the end . . . "

She then shrugged, knowing that any talk about morality and integrity would go right over the girl's head.


Corbin

Corbin blinked as she walked over to him and leaned against him. 

He smiled and said, "My blood probably tastes like shit, but . . . eh, I'll recover.  Better me than some bystander, right? Got a name, love?  Since you're going to be penetrating me and all, it would be proper."

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

"Penetration you say? I did not know you swung that way, I must regretfully inform you that I lack the appendage to claim your behind. We will just have to settle for this then".

The vampire bit down on his neck, her fangs penetrating his skin and drawing blood, blood that had hints of bird in it's taste. Shinobu slowly lost herself in the feeding, her grip growing looser as only the blood itself mattered now.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

She indeed didn't listen, just left the dojo in a grumpy mood. Kenzou and Akatsuki were likely done by now. It was only natural that she wouldn't fight them unless they could gave their best. Still, she headed for the woods.

Even if she prefered from now on to deal with Michael rather than Forest, seeing him still didn't make her feel better. "Oi, Mike, if you meddled in their fight I will strangle you." She threathened the martial artist. Mike was a shit. Not a mind controlling, soul invading shit, but the sort of shit that would try to break up a fight for reasons she didn't understand. Still, Rikuyo had enough patience left to wait to see if Kenzou and Akatsuki denied her accusations against the newcomer.

[SINIB]

Oka Kurosawa, the great and magnificent Pokemon trainer who is going to become the best there never was and become the champion and bang the fuck out of Shiro

Oka nodded at Jin and waited in line patiently until it was her turn to pay. She deftly whipped out an extremely full wallet and gave the cashier a large wad of pokèbucks before leaving with her new acquisitions for the changing rooms in the center of the department.

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Jin was slightly impressed by the glimpse of Oka's wallet when he saw her hand over a large wad of cash to the counter.

He then followed her to the center of the store where the changing rooms were, speaking up just before Oka entered. "Have you thought about getting a credit card? It would be painful is someone stole your wallet" he asked with genuine concern in his voice.

[SINIB]

Oka

Oka looked at him with a confused look before laughing. "I'm not old enough to have one yet, my mom won't let me she says I need to be at least sixteen to have one. How old do you think I am?"

[Thedoctor]

Jin

"Well you certainly look old enough for it" Jin said with a slight chuckle. "I'm guessing you're 15 then? that's quite the amount of money you have then, You must be great at what you do."

[SINIB]

Oka Kurosawa

Oka instantly adopted a smug expression, obviously extremely full of herself. "Yup! I'm great. The best, actually. Except for maybe Shiro. I have more gym badges though, see?" Oka whipped out a case holding her trainer card and all seven of her gym badges. "I only need to beat one more gym and then it's off to the elite four!"

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Oka looked extremely smug as she went through her explanation, the girl clearly liked boasting. "That...sounds impressive." Jin didn't quite understand what Oka was talking about but whoever the elite four was, they sounded quite important if you had to go through that many places just to see them.

[SINIB]

Oka

Oka laughed. "Of course it is, beating them is the highest honour there is, everyone knows that. Now excuse me, I'm gonna get dressed." She grabbed all her new items and darted into the changing room, a handicapped symbol hanging over the exceptionally large room.

"No peeking!" She yelled as she allowed Wormy to enter with her. Oka placed her clothes on the bench and quickly disrobed.

 As she stood naked she looked at Wormy with a smile and put her old underwear on him, to which he buzzed somewhat annoyedly at her as she laughed at how ridiculous he looked. "You look really silly!" She chortled at him before taking it off him and discarding it on the floor. They were ruined now anyway. She carefully removed the myriad of tags and put on her new underwear, somewhat annoyed by the feeling of newness they had.

She preferred it after clothing had been broken in. "Bleh." She posed for herself in the mirror. "At least it looks nice, doesn't it Wormy?"

She quickly donned her other items of clothing and shoes before returning to Jin, her bag hanging loosely from her shoulder.

"How do I look?" She asked him.

[Thedoctor]

Jin

As Oka was changing Jin was busy thinking, it had been almost a week since he got here, the time had allowed him to cool down from his brother hunt, even if he managed to get back somehow, Ragna would have left Kagutsuchi by now. That was if he got back that was, he'd have to make plans for that not being the case.

"How do I look"

Jin was snapped out of his train of thoughts by Oka's voice, he turned his gaze preparing to give her a normal you look good when he froze up and gave her a second look over. Starting from her long longs which was adorned by orange stocking that emphasized their lenght and shape making them seem to go on forever. His gaze went further up where he could see a black top under a white-pink striped hoodie. Then he reached her chest area, the hoddie stuck out quite a lot showing just how big her breasts were, they also seemed very perky as if to defy gravity itself, quite impressive for their size, wait why am I starring so much?, she's totally caught me, I'll have to say something quick he thought.

He quickly raised his sight to her eyes and said "You uhm look....gorgeus, the clothes are great, yeah that's it great." 

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Noriko

"You know, it has been a while since I had Asian food. I may not look like some from Europe, but that's where I spent the majority of my life so far." The mage didn't know why she felt like talking about the past in a presence of a near stranger, but maybe she was just in a mood. And she certainly cooled down. Or rather didn't see the point in continuing their banter. "Though I don't know if the name of Europe tells you anything. There so many people from so many worlds here after all."

Ragna couldn't help but let a short laugh escape.

"Well, you're almost right. But, I know what Europe is, or at least, used to be. Not much to visit there anymore, apart from the usual seithr-contaminated ghost towns and, of course, hierarchical cities. But those all look the same, in a way."

After he said that, the asian woman returned, and motioned to guide them to a table, or rather, a small booth. No chairs to pull out, just fixed benches. He sat down, waiting for the waitress to bring him a menu.

"But I guess, the difference wouldn't be what world we came from, but when," he said, cryptically, until he realized how he sounded. "Oh geez, I sound as pretentious as the damn rabbit."
