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

[Elf]

Forest

Forest frowned at Gadreel's admission of not having something to eat in "much too long".  "So yeah, the Food Court.  It'll be my treat," she said with a shake of her head.

She bit her lip for a moment and made a note to ask him if he had a place to stay once she got some food into him.  She tilted her head and said, "Shall we?"

[Panda]

Annabeth

The Hunter was unable to help a grin at Ron's reply, taking note of his apparent aversion to being carried for future reference.

"Well, I suppose that would help, but it shouldn't be necessary," Annabeth admitted before a wry grin made its way to her face, "And now would be fine. Unless you're too tired, of course."

[Panda]

Emily

Emily cocked an eyebrow at the woman's strange way of putting it before nodding.

"More or less," Emily admitted, "Doesn't go any further from what I've seen."

The Changeling looked back at the gorgeous man, only to suddenly find herself utterly captivated. Emily's eyes widened as she quickly realized what was happening. The sudden rush of need was somewhat unfamiliar compared to the time she'd tried meeting with another Changeling of her Kith, but aside from that Emily managed to weather whatever he was doing well enough. After all, what kind of Vernal Sovereign can't master their own desires if the need arises?

Even so, Emily couldn't help feeling a little flushed as the feeling passed.

"Interesting," Emily noted, "Though I doubt that our conditions are similar."

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Jin felt a strange prescence as if he was being watched, but he couldn't see anything wrong in the kitchen so he relaxed. He then turned around and looked at the door as he heard that someone was running towards him. "Oka is that you?# he called out.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

As the vampire was approaching, the redhead's tail suddenly shot out and and grabbed hold of one of her arms. Shinobu gave it no mind and simply continued on with the momentum she had going, twisting herself around Rikuyo to end up on her back. As she did so, the pull from both the tail and her movement was enough to rip her arm off leaving her free to grab hold of Rikuyo's back with her remaining limbs and try to wrestle her down.

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Apparently the two didn’t think he was good enough at english to follow their conversation. Well, okay, he didn’t understand everything they said, but enough to get that Mitsuba was determined to mine him for information, and that Darcy expected her to give him what he wanted for free. It was honestly rather pointless, he was willing to share what he knew with them, but he decided to not interrupt their conversation lest he appear rude.

“Sure, that’s fine,” he said in response to both of their questions. He didn’t mind bars or the occasional drink. Hopefully they could trade information and then go their separate ways without any complications.


BRIGIDA DOENCA

The woman blamed her mount for the accident, to which the language instructor pursed her lips in a skeptical frown. All that was forgotten, however, when the lady in red dismounted the stag and the plants that had grown up so quickly now moved to the side so as to not get in her way. Brigida sent her an appraising glance.

“Those plants… are they yours?” She asked the lady in red. If she was lucky, she wouldn’t even need to force the woman to come back with her.

[Aiden]

Annabeth

The Hunter was unable to help a grin at Ron's reply, taking note of his apparent aversion to being carried for future reference.

"Well, I suppose that would help, but it shouldn't be necessary," Annabeth admitted before a wry grin made its way to her face, "And now would be fine. Unless you're too tired, of course."

Ron

He just had to make use of a flat stare for this one. "Oh, trust me, I feel great. How about you?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around Annabeth from behind and lifted! "You feeling tired?"

[Panda]

Annabeth

The Hunter's grin widened at the flat look he gave her, only to let out a surprised yelp as he suddenly wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up.

"N-No, not really," Annabeth said, grabbing onto the sides of the tub to prop her self up out of instinct, "But, then again, my standards are probably a bit different from yours."

As she was held up, the cowgirl couldn't help but shiver a little as the air hit her warmed skin, looking back at Ron for all of a few second before managing to regain her composure.

"So, I suppose we should at least get out of the tub," she remarked.

[Kat]

Shinobu 

As the vampire was approaching, the redhead's tail suddenly shot out and and grabbed hold of one of her arms. Shinobu gave it no mind and simply continued on with the momentum she had going, twisting herself around Rikuyo to end up on her back. As she did so, the pull from both the tail and her movement was enough to rip her arm off leaving her free to grab hold of Rikuyo's back with her remaining limbs and try to wrestle her down.

Rikuyo

Wow, sacrificing one's limb to get hold on someone who tried to put you into hold. Really crazy, but as expected from a fellow lunatic. Though she probably didn't feel pain like her, so she had it easier, maybe. Anyway, Rikuyo partially got what she wanted. Shinobu was there and didn't plan to move. Perfect. She tried to pin her down, but she fought back with all her strength.

She took a deep breath to focus better her lifeforce. She wanted to try to hit the vampire with a chi infused elbow to the gut, shake her off, quickly turn around and unleash a blast charged from another arm, hitting her point blank and giving her opening to hit her with even more, so even her body would give up.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

The forced piggy back ride was rough on her but she managed to hold on, when suddenly the redhead paused. The vampire took advantage of the opening created when Rikuyo paused to focus her mind. She also clamped down with her legs around her waist so she would still have a hold of the redhead and then let go with her still intact arm. She maintained her focus and made a sword appear in that hand which she tried to stab Riku with. Meanwhile the arm that she had sacrificed had already started regenerating.

[Aiden]

Forest

Forest frowned at Gadreel's admission of not having something to eat in "much too long".  "So yeah, the Food Court.  It'll be my treat," she said with a shake of her head.

She bit her lip for a moment and made a note to ask him if he had a place to stay once she got some food into him.  She tilted her head and said, "Shall we?"

Gadreel

"Although if we could avoid food with garlic or onion, that would be ideal," the exile said, grimacing at the thought. "I fear I have ... little ability to remove the stench from my mouth at the moment. Beyond that, your choice. Let us depart."

Annabeth

The Hunter's grin widened at the flat look he gave her, only to let out a surprised yelp as he suddenly wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up.

"N-No, not really," Annabeth said, grabbing onto the sides of the tub to prop her self up out of instinct, "But, then again, my standards are probably a bit different from yours."

As she was held up, the cowgirl couldn't help but shiver a little as the air hit her warmed skin, looking back at Ron for all of a few second before managing to regain her composure.

"So, I suppose we should at least get out of the tub," she remarked.

Ron

The werewolf felt his arms tremble a moment before he took a deep breath and steadied them. Of course, then he recognized the effect of the bathroom air touching Annabeth's wet, temperature-sensitive skin. Weight was now the least of his concerns.

Ron pursed his lips together and blew air through them onto her.

[Panda]

Annabeth

The Hunter yelped a little once more as the sudden chill raced over her skin, looking back at Ron with a pout. With that, the Hunter decided to take matters into her own hands, literally. Focusing for a moment, Annabeth let her aura nodes open up again before going into Ren, maneuvering her legs out of the tub before pushing herself up to a standing position. Whether Ron decided to let go was more or less his call.

[Kat]

Shinobu

The forced piggy back ride was rough on her but she managed to hold on, when suddenly the redhead paused. The vampire took advantage of the opening created when Rikuyo paused to focus her mind. She also clamped down with her legs around her waist so she would still have a hold of the redhead and then let go with her still intact arm. She maintained her focus and made a sword appear in that hand which she tried to stab Riku with. Meanwhile the arm that she had sacrificed had already started regenerating.

Rikuyo

She could see a blade sticking out of her body, the sword stabbing through her without her being able to do much about it. Okay, if she started using blade weapons, then she would skewer her back.

Her monkey tail receded and her body started sprouting quill like needles, intent on skewering Shinobu like a shishkebab. The small animal that had such defense could even ward off hyenas and lions. Naturally in case of Rikuyo those quills were even more dangerous than in the nature.

[Aiden]

Annabeth

The Hunter yelped a little once more as the sudden chill raced over her skin, looking back at Ron with a pout. With that, the Hunter decided to take matters into her own hands, literally. Focusing for a moment, Annabeth let her aura nodes open up again before going into Ren, maneuvering her legs out of the tub before pushing herself up to a standing position. Whether Ron decided to let go was more or less his call.

Ron

Ron held on just because he honestly didn't think she would be able to stand right up like that between how easy it was to manhandle her during uh, intimate moments. Then again, that could have been the alcohol. Or she could just get off on that. There were a lot of possibilities occurring to the werewolf right now since he was dangling off of the bounty hunter's toned body.

"Huh. That's like uh... did you know you smell good right now?" he couldn't help but ask with his face buried against Annabeth's back. "I mean not just the soap, but, wow."

How long could she keep this up for? Wait, this counts as carrying, didn't it? Crap.

He let go. This was a bad idea. "Ow."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica
 
The construct listened in on the two others but only found the impetus to speak when the clink of her spoon against the empty bowl rang. A look that for a moment could almost be considered forlorn was cast down upon the finished dessert but immediately vanished. She simply looked up to add her own input. "I agree. Whatever the intensity or control you have over your ability she seemingly lacks the latter but has the ability to affect everyone. You do not as I feel nothing when I look at you."
