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

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka shot Toe a glare, non-verbally calling bullshit.  He was even harder to deal with then Kumagawa now that he doesn't even emote.  Why did he take that punishment from her if he could do that the entire time?  Is there some limitation to his power or did he actually feel sorry?

Shinobu and Toe started bickering

“Don’t you kids have anything better to do?”  Toe said flatly.

"You are not actually annoyed, you are just faking it." Shinobu calmly replied back.

It wasn't hard to sense the tension, despite the fact that the conversation sounded like two old men trying to argue but too tired to care.  Perhaps she could change the subject.

"Toe, you gave me this flattering outfit yesterday.  But, their is a lot of dirt in it, particularly around the chest area." She said pointing at her chest.  "I hate to ask, but is it possible to conjor up a new outfit?  Literally anything will do." 

[Kotomine_Rin]

Theodore

"Oh, of course! Anything for a friend." He said in a cheerful tone, smiling affably and completely ignoring the blondie. It was probably easier for both of them, and less exhausting for him. Yet even that seemed fake and uncanny. It's like he was tired more than anything.

And so, the dust on her clothes dissappeared and they turned good as new. You might have expected a transformation scene or some new make over or something, but he didn't have the time or energy for that.

"Good enough?" He asked flatly.

[Panda]

Emily

The Changeling stared at the odd woman for a few moments, unable to help wondering a little at her words.

"...I suppose we've reached an impasse, then," Emily admitted, "I can't honestly say I've ever felt something like that. Then again, to be honest, I've not actually experienced romantic love for myself. If that's how you feel about it, then I suppose that will suffice for you."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

The construct gazed at both of them for a moment as she considered what had just been said. She had not expected any of them to feel as she did. Their conversation did reveal that was a failing inherent to their natures. But to not feel even the diluted shade of that? To be so unaware of your own flaws and at the same time be incapable of understanding something so good was a harrowing thought to the Spirit Vessel.

She supposed that an adequate comparison would be that of a stupid, blind creature who had never felt warmth and lacked the capacity to even think about the sun. It was one of the most sorrowful fates she could think of. When she looked back at the redhead her face hadn't changed at all but the slightest degree of pity filled her eyes. "I am sorry for you."

However, as the words came out of her mouth a sudden realization came to Erica. For all their flaws if she could somehow manage to arrange these two into a romantic relationship it may allow her to study how beings similar to humans approach their idea of love. Perhaps there was something she could learn from them that she would be incapable of understanding by herself. "What about you two? You both share the issue of being unnaturally attractive to those who would be of interest to you. Would not the natural inclination be towards another who is capable of feeling empathy towards your respective situations?"

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu 

The kyuuketsuki watched as the man performed his trick on Medaka, restoring her clothes to their optimal state, not a single speck of dust remaining on them. Her annoyance at the man was rising, he completely ignored her question and now that she thought about it, he hadn't even introduced himself.

She felt a strong urge to rip him apart but there was something stopping her from going through with it, it was probably something He had said. But for whatever reason she felt like approaching this one more time.

"Maybe I should not have punched you, I just felt incredibly annoyed at the fact that you invited me to that picnic and then started doing tricks on me with the food."  She then looked straight at him and gave him a weak smile. "You never introduced yourself either."

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Feeling Oka take his hand he decided to pull her closer into a comforting hug instead "Of course we can Oka, take the time you need." He said to her while escorting her back to the apartment with an arm around her waist.

[SINIB]

Shirou Emiya and Sakura Matou

Shirou nodded at Ruler. "Yeah, there are five more movies! All of them even better than this one."

He turned to face Sakura. "Sakura, do you have the original trilogy at home?"

She nodded. "Yeah, and the prequel movies too, so if you want Jeanne, we can watch episode two whenever you'd like."

She turned to face Rider. "What was your favorite scene Rider, you look like you enjoyed it alot."

[SINIB]

Oka

Oka wrapped her arms around Jin and buried her face into his arm. She was scared. This was really really scary. She slowly and silently walked alongside Jin, feeling comforted by his presence. She held onto one of Sylveon's ribbons as he walked alongside them, looking at Oka with concern.
As soon as they got inside the house and locked the door behind them, Oka sent out Wormy and grabbed him in a hug, shivering, holding Jin's hand in a tight squeeze in one hand and Wormy with the other arm.

"So, is it um… permanent?" She asked. "It is, isn't it?"

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Oka looked so scared while hugging Wormy, her other hand grasping his as she almost seemed to tremble. Her question did nothing but confirm his suspicion regardig her mental state. Looking into her eyes he answered as calmly as he could. "I'm sorry but I don't know, maybe there is, but the ones I've heard of doesn't manage it." 

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

"Yes thank you Toe."  Medaka responded poitely

Thinking Toe would do something insensitive, Medaka moved to Shinobu, responding in his place.

"No its ok to punch him.  He never apologizes for anything." said Medaka, half kidding.  "Besides, I think something is wrong with him.  He is usually a lot more obvious about his mischevous nature.  It sounds like he was..... pulling one of his sick jokes.  He didn't do anything else to you right?"

She glanced back at Toe, before returning her gaze to Shinobu.

[Panda]

Michael

There was something off about the other woman, something the could could've felt from further but now made itself much more apparent with the proximity. That aside, she seemed like she'd be a passable fighter simply from what he could tell of her build. That aside, her words were somewhat disheartening, and it was fairly clear to the immortal that she was evaluating him as a potential danger.

"Ah well, better luck next time, I suppose," Michael noted before the fox-girl suddenly grabbed both of them and started walking off. Seeing no reason to resist, Michael simply went along with it, following along as she led them on.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Theodore

But I didn’t do anything wrong until that jerk punched me…

The demon sighed and scratched his head. This was really turning out to be a huge pain in the ass, not that he actually had one. And the other one wasn’t much better, she looked like she’d jump on him and tear him apart any moment now.

Ara ara, what is it with this city and crazy women anyway? He was just minding his business, and they all just decided to be a nuisance. But when he did try to deal with them, he was the bad guy? Jeez.

“Um, my name is Theodore, but you can call me Teddy-san with affection. And I haven’t been up to any mischief, just harmless goofs and gaffs that wouldn’t even endanger a panda. If you’re trying to protect people, you’re doing a pretty bad job at it. Kids like you should stay at school and study hard. Same for you, blondie; I don’t know what sick hobbies you have, but I want nothing to do with them. Now please, my ramen will get cold.” He replied calmly, bowing politely before walking away. Hopefully blondie would get the memo that he wasn't in the mood for any of her perverted stuff.

And for a second, he looked surprised. As if he realized his underwear got dirty, or remembered something very important. "Oh, I almost forgot." He noted before pulling out two cellphones from his pocket, fiddling with both and typing something in each before turning around and tossing one to Medaka.

"It's dangeorous to go alone. We're contacts now, so please call me when you're in trouble. Knowing you, it will be often, which is good. I get lonely." He said flatly before walking away - again.

[Thedoctor]

Kiss-Shot Acerola Orion Heart-Under-Blade

 He didn't do anything else to you right?" She heard Medaka ask her in what she thought was a concerned tone.

"He...He raped them...he twisted their form and now I do not have anymore. I want my donuts back!" The kyuuketsuki shouted in despair, the mockery of the culinary delight beyond her ability to fathom. She slowly turned to the blue haired girl and asked her the most important question. "Do you have any?" Her expression told a tale of outmost despair, of someone who's entire world got stripped away from them.

[SINIB]

Oka Kurosawa

Oka momentarily tightened her grip on Jin's hand as she heard his responce. "I-gulp-I see." She said quietly. This would mean she'd never see any of her friends, her other pokemon, her family...

Shiro...

Oka took a deep breath and nodded.

"Ok. I shouldn't worry about it if I can't change it. It'll just make me more upset, won't it." She patted Wormy on the back and leaned against him. "And you're still here, aren't you. Everything will be fine."

[Kat]

Mitsuba

She parted her ways with those two unreasonable people. If they wanted to shorten their lives, fine, she wouldn't have anything to do with their folly. She decided to head back to her establishment before the sun set.

Sometime ago she had several posters tacked to the walls of Asian District. She needed a bouncer, just in case, but it seems no one had been willing so far to work for her. She wasn't surprised about that, but still, someone helping her with rowdy customers would be nice.

She made sure to check another good for nothing guy she met today. He was gone. Fortunately he didn't touch any of her belongings, it seemed. He was an eccentric guy, but in comparison to the priest he seemed to be at least a bit less annoying.

Then, Mitsuba returned to her duties, making sure that everything was ready before she opened the bar for real.
