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

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lumen

Having already finally decided her clothing the Patchwork gladly ignored the drama and bought her clothing. She returned with the bag in one hand just in time to hear Petra's explanation of what she was. "It's probably true. She landed on my head when I met her because she thought she would phase right through me."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Greyskull

The skeleton tree nodded and spoke formally. "I see."

Well, that was awkward. Hopefully no one would ask him anything. Still, it was strange. The dead could not come back to life, that was a fact he knew quite well. There was something more to it, he was sure, but he did not feel the need to pester her.

"Um, yeeeah. How's the weather!?" He asked, trying to shift the subject.

[SINIB]

Oka

"Mmmm." Oka grunted as Jin grabbed her right breast, carefully feeling it and gently rubbing her hardened nipples. "I guess I can't argue with that." Oka made several quick hand in Wormy's direction, who chittered and flew away to lay on the couch with Sylveon. "Jin…" Oka quietly said, looking away shyly. "Where's the bedroom?"

[Thedoctor]

Jin

He continuing to squeeze her breast as he noted that wormy left for the living room. "It's this way." He said while gently embraing her and pulling her with him to it. As they got to the room they saw it was of moderate size with a bed, a wardrobe and an unpacked box in the corner.

[Panda]

Seras

The figure hardly seemed daunted as Garou broke free of the hands, not even flinching as its hand exploded along with Garou's. If anything, her smile only widened as the man fired off a kick in response. The creature's own leg lashed out to intercept Garou's in turn, meeting his force with everything she could and not even wincing as both limbs exploded into bloody chunks once more. Undaunted by the sudden loss of two of her limbs, the creature simply lashed out with another fist, uncaring whether he would choose to sacrifice another limb or to dodge this time.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Garou XIII

Garou gritted his teeth as his leg gave in to the impact. This was his last chance, he threw himself at her and grabbed her by the neck with his maw, sharp fangs sinking inside her. The bloody thorns sticking out of her began to glow before suddenly setting on fire. For the last time, he grinned.

"Auf wiedershen, motherfucker."

Suddenly, multiple fiery explosions set off inside her, annihilating her body and blasting Garou's bloody soon-corpse away.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Urthemiel

The mage watched the boy leave with a detached look and smothered the fire in her hand. It was impressive how rude the people of this city could be. They acted as if they didn't understand the basic ideas of opportunity and appealing to superiors.  She brushed a hand on her coat before focusing on the alien drake.

"Your theory is rather sound. Even the most intelligent of dragons from my world cannot speak with a human language, although they would not have needed to regardless. However, before we speak anymore I would implore you to give your friend some advice. Rude actions rarely ever make allies, much less friends. In fact, the ability of unrestrained bluntness to create enemies is not uncommon. I would never patronize any draconic being with such common knowledge but I simply thought it would be wise to inform your friend." There was nothing overtly threatening in her tone, but there was a layer of displeasure coating a few of her words. A subtle promise of what could come.

However, an amiable expression returned to her face. Coiled heat gathered around her before radiating out in a wave of warmth that melted the remnants of snow for meters around them. "Now that's finished I would like to give you some advice. Any library you seek will only be helpful in a general sense. Few have actually been built here instead of being imported. Personally exploring would allow a much greater amount of knowledge to be gained."

[Panda]

Emily

With the other woman far behind her, the Changeling allowed a relieved sigh as she finally made it back to the city. Managing to regain her bearings, Emily wandered aimlessly through the streets, pondering her next course of action. The fact of the matter was that she needed a job, and soon. She wasn't going to be a freeloader, and the extra source of income would probably be handy even aside from that.

Well, I'd quite like to find a clinic to work at again. They don't ask nearly as many questions as hospitals...If there aren't any openings, though, I suppose I can find another job to work while I wait for something to show up. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to save enough to open up a clinic of my own. Ah, who am I kidding?

Allowing a momentary chuckle, Emily continued on her way, looking around for somewhere warm. Maybe a cafe or something, just so long as she could take a moment to rest and maybe relax a bit. Maybe she'd just go back to their apartment and take yet another long bath.

[SINIB]

Oka Kurosawa

Oka looked around the room, still embracing Jin. The large bed looked nice and inviting, with its soft looking pillows and blue sheets. "You have a nice room, Jin. It looks like you're just getting settled here."

Oka suddenly had a very good idea.

"Oh! Oh! Jin! Do you have any alcohol?"

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

The blond woman listened to what they told her, getting the feeling that Sakura wanted to spend the money on her, because it made her happy. What Rider said only confirmed it, however the part about having to protect them from threats was a bit concerning to say the least.

"That maybe so, but from what threats would you need two servants to defend from? There doesn't seem to be any Grail War going on here." She paused to catch her breathe before continung, her voice was serious and there wasn't much trace left of the cheerful deamenor she just displayed, instead her very presence was commanding making it hard to ignore what she was saying. "Or is this place overrun by supernatural beings? To tell the truth I don't really know your abilities and that would rather hamper any effort made to protect you so to say."

[Panda]

Seras

The vampire's eyes widened as he managed to dodge the punch, only to chomp down on her neck. Her grin remained unabated by the irony of the situation, when she registered a slight glow a bit lower down. Glancing down, the being sighted on the burning thorns still stuck inside her right before they detonated with enough force to reduce everything above her waist to bloody chunks again.

Defiant to the end. Respectable.

Undaunted, the vampire lay there for a few moments before starting to reform, new flesh growing up as shadows bled from her wounds. It wasn't long before she was completely healed, as if she'd never been injured to begin with, though her clothes still remained missing. The same couldn't be said for the other man, but...

"Garou," she called out, staring into his crimson eyes, "Would you like to live? There is a price that will have to be paid, but you will live if you are willing to pay it."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura, for her part, was not intimidated in the slightest by Jeanne's commanding presence. Faust and Zouken were far far better at it than this small woman. "Yeah, that does sound like a good idea. I'd like to learn more about your abilities too, your stats and skills are interesting, but I've learned there's always more to it than that. Why don't we check out and find a place to sit down? We're kinda holding up the line now."

[Kat]

Rikuyo

She started losing patience for that. The werewolf trying to hit them with a tree only convinced her there was no reason to hold back anymore. But instead of powering up a bit more, she tried something else. "Stand back." She told Shinobu. She jumped into the air, palms in her stretched out arms started crackling with visible energy. That surely would draw attention of werewolves, but her plan hinged on that. The redhead gathered energy just to blow up werewolves into chunks of meat and bones. Hopefully Shinobu would take a hint and remove herself out of the way.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

"That looks excessive." The vampire dryly noted as she saw Rikuyo jump into the air and gather some form of energy. "If you feel like wasting your energy like this then be my guest." She said as she dashed back and jumped up onto the the branch of a tree behind them. She then leaned back against the trunk of the tree with her legs on either side of the branch, she  appeared to be disinterested in the fighting now.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

Whatever, she was just going to blow them to smitherens! Ignoring what Shinobu said, she released a wave of energy from outstretched palms. That would be a payback for trying to hit her with a gigantic makeshift club.
