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

[Kat]

Mitsuba

Oho, he wanted to gossip? Sure, maybe she would indulge him for a bit. He did change his tone a bit. And maybe she could hear some interesting tidbits from him. She sat down in front of him, resting her chin on her hands.

"It's a dangerous place as of late. Terrorists blowing up police stations, monsters rampaging around like in some violent horror story. A poor human like me doesn't go out in the night alone. Ah, if only the police was more competent." She sighed, this time honestly worried about the situation. Maybe she wasn't a human, but she led a life of a one. She wasn't even sure if God-Machine was actually gone from this strange city. Her definition of Hell didn't include violent supernaturals and other crooks making her worried about her potential well-being. She just wanted to marry, move out from this seedy district, and have two kids or more. At least a one boy and at least a one girl.

[Panda]

Annabeth

The Hunter raised an eyebrow at the man's response, unable to help a slight blush in spite of herself. For the moment she was a bit thankful that he hadn't tried approaching, but still watched him with caution as he introduced himself.

"I'm Annabeth," the cowgirl said, before indicating her antlered charge, "And this is Oren. Anyway, I suppose we shouldn't waste any time then. Heck, we can get you some clothes while we're at it, why stop at pants?"


It didn't take long for them to find the clothing store once more, the Hunter leading the strange man inside.

"Well, here we are," Annabeth said, "Go ahead and pick something out."

[Kat]

Rikuyo

Michael hesitated, even if slightly. It was her chance she should exploit. Would he be able to block lightning from such distance? Punching him would feel more satisfying, but she honestly had no patience. Fry him and finish the fight, then go find some new clothes. She wouldn't touch his clothes and she didn't feel like eating his remains if he didn't survive it. So the electricity flowed forwards, aimed at the immortal.

[Aiden]

Ron

On the trip there Ron made sure to keep to a position where Annabeth was between himself and Oren at all times. The hair on the back of his neck stood up from her presence, and every little motion the silent creature made was registering to him as threat for some reason.

Sure, I've always had a good head for telling how dangerous someone is, but this is ridiculous.

Had he been to this store before? It did look familiar, and he had gotten lost taking a turn in the city before so he had been all over the place since he was a little boy. Ron stopped for a moment to appreciate the absence of balls-shriveling cold that crossing the threshold of the store heralded, and sighed with relief. "All right then..."

Ron nodded in gratitude to Annabeth, walked over to the pants while being careful to keep Oren visible out of the corner of his eye, and picked up a pair of sweats. He tilted his head to the side, nostrils flaring, and then held the pants hanging down from his waist. "Well, should be warm enough... won't make up for the jeans I lost..."

Now to get something on before they kicked him out of the store. Ron grabbed some boxers and a random blue button-up shirt on the way to the changing room. He glanced backward again to check Annabeth and Oren again, just in case, and closed himself in there.

Hurrah for decent coverage!

[Kotomine_Rin]

Garou XIII

A ghost of a smile flashed on Garou's face.

"Monsters you say? Tell me more." He said with an humoured tone before holding up his glass, swirling its contents hypnotically before cheering, awaiting a response.

[Kat]

Mitsuba

This topic would genuinely give her headache if she explored too quickly. She wasn't a human herself, but she had no shred of sympathy for non-humans would flaunt over their supernatural traits. At least have decency to pretend to be a human as much as you can, trash, if you cannot get a steady job like a sane citizen would. "Oh dear, they can be really annoying. You know, supposedly there are man wolf things out there. What this poor widow would do if some naked furry pervert assaulted her?" she half feigned worry. She wasn't defenseless, but it was better to keep low profile. "And vampires, these are the worst, just waiting to drain blood from any young woman..."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Garou XIII

Garou raised an amused eyebrow. Was this chick retarded or something? Everybody knows that vampires and werewolves are just fairy tales. She didn't actually believe in that kiddy shit, did she? Her needlessly polite attitude still pissed him off, but he could live with that for now. Grinning with his bare fangs, he barely contained a chuckle before speaking.

"Hah, they sure got interesting hobbies. Any recent talk involving those monsters?" He said before sipping his drink.

[Kat]

Mitsuba

Oh, no, he could be one of those crazies. She watched a one movie. She was still trying to catch up with how the civilization evolved, but those TV set things were cheap enough. And there was this movie about a guy thinking he became a vampire. It was more likely according to her calculations that he was just a crazy rather than some daywalking vampire, even if she could never be sure. Still, she'd play her role and pretend nothing out of ordinary happened. "Some of local boys got up beaten by a vampire for trying to steal its car. My, my, what kind of vampire is one who cannot keep such rumors from spreading." She chuckled softly.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Urthemiel

Patient eyes observe Darcy finish his song. This style was certainly passionate but it lacked grace. Even the wild retained that beautiful hint of movement and while there was a spark here it had not been kindled well. She was so focused on this that she practically ignored Emily leaving for a moment.

With her thinking done she locked eyes with the priest and blessed him with a smile so radiant it made the sun look dim. "That was certainly impressive, Darcy. It appears that I have underestimated you, and for that you have my sincerest apologies. Being n this place has simply lowered my opinions of the general populace by a good amount."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Garou XIII

Vampires don't exist, but moving on. Garou was still pretty thrilled. There were so many strong, confident people in this city waiting to be crushed. Grinning, he didn't bother hiding his good mood one second.

"Or perhaps that was his intention all along, to send a message perhaps. What do you think ma'am?"

[Kat]

Mitsuba

"Hmm, whatever it wants, it will be a bother if my clients die. You know all those hoodlums come here to drink their money away? I don't feel like changing a job right now." She said with a grumpy expression on her face. Damn, if any vampire like that came here, she would have to kill it herself if anyone other wouldn't do it. There was already one that she had to dust earlier. Some lost blabbering child in clothes that female foreigners presumably wore during Mitsuba's original timeline.

[Panda]

Annabeth

In spite of herself, Annabeth couldn't help but find her eyes drifting over the curious man as he went about his business. In a way, though, the Hunter supposed that she shouldn't have been surprised that it took so long to find another possible Nen User. After all, Nen Users weren't exactly common, and with good reason.

The Hunter's thoughts were distracted, however, as the man made his way inside. Taking a moment to consider the situation, the Hunter allowed a sigh as she drew a bit closer to the door, her Ren going up just in case.

"So, are you planning on jumping this one too, Oren?" Annabeth asked, deciding a contingency was in order.

[Thedoctor]

Archer

As the cute couple walked by him, he noted that Sakura had gotten sad for some reason, so he gave them a nod and said. "I hope the two of you have a good time..."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Darcy Hugh

"Bah, you think you can buy me with compliments? Sorry, but you'll need to try a bit harder than that." Darcy puffed with a haughty smirk. "Besides, this is only a fifth of the magic. I don't see how anyone could appreciate something so lackluster. You must be either lying or trying to pull one on me." He said smugly.

Then, he turned over to Emily with a concerned look.

"Yo, you alright? Don't look so good."


Garou XIII

Garou nodded in understanding. "Any particular freak I should be watching out for?" He asked, part in genuine curiosity and part to see just how crazier this would get.

[Elf]

Rin

The raven haired magus blinked as Shirou pretty much attempted to deny her existence.   Or at least that's what it feels like, she thought to herself.

She lifted a hand to wave, forced a smile, and said, "You two have fun and be careful."


Forest

The blond sighed as Riyuko and the other guy just kept fighting.

She looked at Greyskull and said, "You know what?  Everyone has become violently retarded.  You just wanna bail?"
