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

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Kay, kay, I don't need clothes and I'm full, so don't worry about that." She shrugged. "Sure, let's go, then!"

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu 

The blond vampire motioned for Rikuyo to follow her, back the direction she had come from. After walking longer than she had anticipated, they finally arrived at the building where Corbin's apartment was in. "Here it is" She said while pointing at the balcony she had jumped down from a while ago.

Not really waiting for a response she rushed at the wall at full speed, fast enough to run up it. Reaching the balcony she was aiming for, she made a precise jump off the wall and landed on it. She noticed that Corbin had left the balcony door still open after her, leaning back on the railing, she waited for Rikuyo.

[Lycodrake]

Lycodrake Aptera

"I certainly don't mind. Company tends to help retain sanity, and honestly wandering around the streets of Nexus and repeatedly letting the humans know that I'm not going to hurt them without reason - and that my reasons are based on morality - has been monotonous." He tapped a talon on the ground. "Well, I have heard there are several libraries, but I'm not sure which one to look for. I would personally look for maps, at least."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lorna

"I'm Lorna. We should probably go and get some clothes now, unless you don't want to come." The shapeshifter didn't wait around regardless of the reply. She immediately tightened her rough clothing around her and began to walk away. He was fast enough to catch up and right now she wouldn't be sad if a car came out of nowhere and crushed him much less just stayed standing there. She just wanted to go.

[Knick]

Fiona

“Well, I just wanted to be alone so I could practice, I have to keep my skills sharp you see!” She told the spirit, Oden, cheerfully as she let most of her suspicion fade away. If it wanted to hurt her it would have already. 

She then turned around and put her hand against the ancient oak she was sitting against, where the grass had turned green and vibrant by her presence, “And the woods here are so old, they make the perfect audience.” Not to mention she felt closer to the garden just by being here, it was relaxing in a way. Not like she was actually closer, it was just pure sentiment.

The rustling of leaves, the soft wind between branches, the scurrying of animals, they all calmed her.

[SINIB]

Jin

Jin nodded as he heard what she said. When she sat down on Wormy, Jin noticed that he large bug stopped moving around allowing her to sit comfortably. So he did have manners as she said.

"That makes sense, if you have enough money to pay for so many hotel nights." He finished his burger and then continued what he was saying. "People have trouble leaving this city though. It's like there's something stopping them."

Oka

"I should have enough, yeah." Oka said shortly, concentrating on eating her food more than talking, and slipping Wormy his share of the fries.

[Knick]

Nanashi

Nanashi just blinked at the….well, kind of stupidly macho display. He wasn’t even close to the most threatening thing he has seen today, and so all she could do was sigh. “You heard what I said, also, you owe me a couple of bucks.” She told him, “But really, is ‘four eyes’ really the best you could come up with?” She said chuckling a bit.

Then she held up her arms and seemed to cower in her seat. Well, it would have seemed like it if it was not for the obviously over the top voice combined with the smirk. “Oh sir priest, don’t stuff me in a locker please. I just couldn’t take it.” She pretended to be horrified milking it for all it was worth, “Oh, no please! It’s just too scary!” Then she started to snicker at him.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

She simply climbed the wall, as she had some experience doing that. She could have jumped, but ah well, exercising her muscles instead of using chi was more fun, and she wanted to save it for now anyway.

"He lives there, right? Yo, check what he is doin' there, he probably trusts you."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Oren

The girl with antlers skipped towards her new friend before leaping straight into the tree. She skillfully clambered onto a branch and pushed through leaves and twigs as she moved around. "Do you want to make a deal, Fiona? I can show you something really fun, but after I do you have to show me something too. I promise it will be good."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Darcy Hugh

The priest's eye twitched and his vein popped as he tried to keep calm and smile. It didn't work, and that even despite him trying to alleviate the tension by laughing along a bit.

Hahaha... oh, I might just do that.

Darcy sighed and rubbed his forehead as if trying to alleviate a bad headache. "Oi oi oi, don't get your panties all in a bunch. Is there something funny or are you already bashed?"


Sakagami Kenzo

"Lorna... I like it! You should thank your parents for blessing you with such a beautiful name." He said with a huge good-natured smile. Then, he puffed his huge scarred chest and nodded.

"Let's go!" He cried out cheerfully.

[Knick]

Nanashi

Nanashi simply shrugged, not noticing the slight warmth in her cheeks absentmindedly, “What can I say, listening to someone make a fool of themselves is just so entertaining.” She chuckled; her ears were picking it up, the slightly harder beating of his heart, the clenching and slight gridding of his teeth. Not to mention the look of pure annoyance on his face.

Well, well, such a short patience, “Well, whatever, just don’t talk shit about me and we good. Who knows, I might even buy you something to eat if you’re nice, would a grain of rice do?” She smiled at him with a toothy grin.

Ok, it was full of shit, and it could not be more fake if she tried. If he could notice it he would have seen her tail swaying happily behind her.

Fiona

Oh no. “U-uhmmm, I guess it depends on the fun thing you want to show me is?” She gave him a wary grin, the worry palatable on her face. Spirits… weren’t always friendly, and if this was a Fae, well, that would be worse on so many levels. She might not be able to die but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt!

[NinjaQ]

William

A slight but forced smile crosses his face, “I suppose it would be tedious to explain yourself multiple times and still get nowhere."
“As for the library, it doesn’t matter to me, any information would help. Now,” His left hand gestured forward, indicating the direction his now travelling companion was headed shortly before they met. “I believe you know where the library is?”

[Kotomine_Rin]

Darcy Hugh

The priest let out a tired sigh. He was starting to feel a little hotter than usual. Well, her shenanigans weren't infuriating, but damn could that shit eating grin get on someone's nerves? Just how much of a cocky shit can someone be? Well, honestly he didn't mind her that badly. He kinda liked it, in it's own way. Perhaps that was why he couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"You care that bad about what a fool has to say? Well, whatever. This cheap booze ain't gonna cut it. We need a real man's drink." He smirked. And then, he had an idea. A wonderful idea. A wonderful, awful idea. Well, not really awful. The priest gave her a nudge and grinned.

"Hey, you know what? I think I might need a helping hand for a job to do. I don't mind sharing the pay 50/50, and we can get all the food and drink in this goddamn city. I might just treat ya to something real fucking nice. You game?"

[Panda]

Emily

It had taken some doing, but the first suggestion they got was to try a new hotspring that had opened up outside of the city, apparently in the middle of a forest. The directions they'd received had been a bit odd to say the least, but they'd at least managed to find the forest after taxi ride and a decent walk. The forest itself was rather confusing to navigate at times, but they managed to find their way in the end. What they finally came across was a quaint little cabin in the woods, well-kept in spite of the forest around it, where the air felt oddly humid. As they made their way inside, the Changeling found herself questioning the lack of any apparent owner of the establishment when they came across the spring itself, the warm damp air relaxing the Changeling as she took in the oddly peaceful establishment.

Well, I suppose this does work for being relaxing.

"It's a bit odd though," Emily remarked aloud, "I wonder where the owner is. It's not like there would just be a hotsprings just out here in the middle of nowhere with nobody staffing it, especially not with the building as tidy as it is."

[Panda]

Ananbeth

It felt like every sense had been dialed up, leaving her able to clearly hear the sound of the button being undone, the soft sound of flesh against fabric. She might have jolted a bit as she felt the tip of his length against her, squirming as he seemingly hesitated before sliding it in. The sudden feeling of fullness brought a long groan from the Hunter's lips as he finally slid home, the dripping mess that he'd made of her ensuring that the insertion was absolutely painless, if a bit uncomfortable as her walls wrapped around him with an almost vice-like grip. Annabeth shivered a little as she lay there, helpless under Ron's grip, some distant voice in her head remarking about the oddly appropriate choice of position.
