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

[SINIB]

Shiro

"Ah, you're lost." Shiro nodded understandingly. "I understand."

"I don't think this is a demon city, I haven't had to kill any, after all. It's just a city. A weird city with crazy things that are called ought-o-mo-bils and other crazy magic stuff."

[Thedoctor]

Archer

Sakura essentially broke down in front of them, she tried to hide it, but the signs were there and both him and Rin were paying attention to them. " I don't know what happened to cause this, but you shouldn't do something like make dinner when you feel like this, it's not good for you, you should take a rest Sakura." He said agreeing with what Rin had said.

"I can handle the dinner, and no I'm not accepting any complaints Sakura, it's for your well being." He told her with a stern yet caring voice.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Theodore

Perfect, just perfect. He should’ve just shut up and let him do his thing. On the other hand, it seemed that poor man Relius had gotten careless. Letting go of his negociation piece like that, what an idiot lol.

While he was too busy making an ass out of himself, Irisviel fell through the floor while his back was turned. Despite the fact this room was not above Sakura’s, she fell through it and landed on their bed. She should wake up soon and follow the plan.

However, the Demon had not shown any signs of his actions. There wasn’t a single reflection that would point out what had happened. An advantage of his magic was that it was subtle, if one could call it as much. Simply put, it did not break any rules. Instead, it twisted and changed them. Because of that, unless he allowed it, detecting such a thing would be much more difficult than any other display of magic.

Instead, he sighed and scratched his head. “ Sure, why not. Just keeeep wasting my time.”

[SINIB]

Jeanne

As she saw him go flying once more, she sheathed her blade and walked over to him. "Maybe we should call it for now, you look really distracted Shirou." She told him, concerned after seeing him fumble twice in a row. "Maybe we should go in and see what they're doing." She suggested to him, with a smile on her face.

Shirou

Shirou nodded and sighed. He regreted falling this out of shape. He had alot of regrets about his life. As he walked back to the house with Jeanne, he considered his biggest one. Sleeping with Rin. He frowned and shook his head. If there was one thing he'd undo if he could, it was that.

"Hey, Jeanne." He asked her with an oddly timid voice. "Do you think a sin can be forgiven and absolved?"

[SINIB]

Theodore

The demon gazed at the masked man with the same unreadable expression as always and spoke without a hint of emotion or attachment.

"I'M afraid there is no value in the things you call words, nor do you have any way of confirming the veridicity of whatever I say. However, you weren't exactly in a good shape the last time I saw you. To barge into a castle to abduct its owner without any sort of protection or backup to rely on, is it truly wise?"


Sakagami Kenzo

The oni smiled meekly. She seemed to be alright with him sitting at least, at least that is what he tought she mean by nodding. So he sat down on the bench next to the girl and looked down gloomily. He was silent for a while, but after mustering a little courage, he managed to speak.

"Do you like any hobbies?"

Oka

Oka scooted away from Kenzo as he sat down, slightly annoyed that he'd bothered to ask and then did it anyway. It was a free bench, though. She didn't feel like she could really complain that much. "I capture ghosts, I train my pokemon, I read comics and I like watching cartoons." She answered curtly. She didn't really want to do anything with him.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Sakagami Kenzo

Kenzo’s gloomy look seemed to have completely vanished, he looked at her with eyes wide in surprise and curiosity. He seemed extremely intrested, so intrested that he couldn’t help but leer in closer to poor Oka.

“Ghosts? So you're like an onmyouji?” 

[SINIB]

Oka

"The hell is that?" She asked him. "Speak english!"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Sakagami Kenzo

The oni looked surprised at her words.

“It’s a bit tricky. They’re like a gateway between the spirit and the human world. They can even tame shikigami and other spirits! I’m surprised that you haven’t heard of them.”

He paused for a second, as if there was something stuck back in his mind. "Uhh, what's a cartoon anyway? Or a comic for that matter."

[Cherry Lover]

Sakura and Shirou

With the drama done, Sakura and Shirou returned to their room. With nothing better to do for the time being, and still feeling horny from earlier, they returned to their previous plans, Sakura rapidly summoning up her shadow tendrils and getting down to business, stripping his clothes off before removing her own. Restraining him with her magic, Sakura began to tease him and dominate him, bringing him close to orgasm again and again whilst "forcing" him to get her off.

However, as they continued to play, Shirou becoming ever-more frustrated and excited as he brought Sakura to orgasm over and over, there was a sudden intrusion. Out of nowhere, Irisviel fell onto the bed beside them, dressed in a nightgown. Shocked, and assuming this was another one of Togan's games, Sakura quickly untied Shirou, before wrapping herself in shadow tendrils to cover her nakedness, rapidly doing the same to Shirou as well, forming makeshift underwear on them both before moving to obtain their clothes.

"I..Irisviel?" she asked, wondering what the hell was going on.

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

Sakura stood up with a start, shaking her head at both Archer and Rin. "No!" She said loudly, a slightly paniced look in her eyes. "Cooking will help… It always does." She said in a much calmer voice as she explained it to them. "It's not like the grail war, I'm just emotionally exhausted. Cooking dinner will make me feel better, I promise! I'll even stop if you think I should, just let me try! Please!" She begged Archer. "Please…"

She sat back down, feeling woozy again from her outburst. "At least let me come in and help after I rest for a bit." She looked up at them, about to cry.

[SINIB]

Irisviel

Irisviel ignored what they were doing, and began to issue commands flatly. "Come on, we're leaving. Get dressed as quickly as possible, I don't have time to explain. Only grab what you absolutely need at this moment."

[Panda]

Dante

The half-demon spared her only a glance as her outfit changed back, eyes widening in surprise as her old one replaced the current one.

"Got anymore outfits hidden away?" he mused, locking his bike up with a bike lock before taking a moment to stretch a bit.

"Well, let's get going, then," Dante said, leading her on into the restaurant. Though the girl at the reception spared them both a curious glance, the two were soon seated near a window, the half-demon easing back in his chair across from her, waiting for her to join him.

[Kat]

Erica

The blue haired girl's head tilted ever so slightly. It was almost as if she was confused or at least giving the appearance of being so. "I do not kill anyone that angers me. This was a special case. An unprecedented level of anger was brought forth so I acted upon it. It is also unnecessary for me to 'cool off'. I had already decided to simply let her go if there was outside interference."

Erica returned to her floating state as she stared back at the man and analyzed his every movement. "You are not my babysitter but perhaps you could instruct me? The previous ones I was speaking to have vanished and I am again lacking proper instruction. You also seem to have an inclination towards stopping violent issues so it would work to both of our advantages."

Rikuyo

"Don't you tell me what I should do, I'll be fine." Rikuyo shifted her glare to the white haired man. Her animosity wasn't malicious, but she was more like annoyed that he told her to take it easier. Why she would, even as a shell of her former self her body was more healthy then most of humans. "Oh, old habits already kickin' in? If ya wanna to humor her, yer choice, but don't feel asleep in the middle." She quipped, her back close to the wall and her somehow standing upright. Right now, she was quite cranky and not upbeat like usual. Not because she got beaten up, but simply because she really, really disliked that doll talking shit about her. She even ignored Rikuyo talking back to her after she called her soul inhuman. Don't ya fucking ignore me like that. I will send where garbage ends up once I'm in shape

[Kat]

Mordred

"Huh, your organisation fashioned yourself about the good old legend of Round Table, maybe? Before I got here, I was in organisation that had more historical inspiration, ranks and structure based on Roman Legions. I don't know if our founder was just enthusiast of Roman civilisation or we really dated back to times when Legions walked British land, records has been lost about it, but we adopted some symbolism. Even if we didn't adopt Roman names as codenames." There was no need to go that far, they weren't exactly similar in methods to Roman Legions. Their initiation rites also took a lot from Mithraism. Mithra was an angel of oaths co-identified with the Sun. A good symbol for Entitlement that took principles of Summer Court to its heart. Seems like Corbin had fond memories of his superiors, but Mord couldn't bear to tell about the one who got her into Entitlement. He died, and she felt quite guilty about the circumstances even if she didn't cause that directly and no one blamed her for that.

Of course, Kuro continued teasing Corbin. Hah, if von Einzberns were really nobles then they didn't pay enough attention to discourage a rude behavior. "I like vehicles too, and I had to do odd jobs for my superiors as well before I got accepted fully. You know, had to learn how to maintain equipment, fetch supplies, and such. Maybe I cannot fix a car if it's damaged in major way, but minor fixes are something I can do. I like model kits too, even if companies charge so much for models, paints and kits. Unfortunately my collection didn't get here too. Gotta start from scratch, then."

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider smiled at him.

"No, sorry, my master took all the clothes I got back home with her", she responded with a smile, surprised he'd not made more of a fuss of it.

With that, she followed him into the restaurant, soon taking her seat opposite him.

"So", she began, waiting for the waitress to come over and take their drinks orders, "what is your world like? You said you were a demon hunter, are demons a common occurance in your world? I've never seen one, personally."

Her words were, at least, mostly true. She'd never seen what people would usually define as a "demon", i.e. an infernal creature from the underworld that tormented humans and tried to overthrow the Gods. No such thing existed in her pantheon, after all, although Hades was, somewhat unfairly, treated as an analogue of the Christian Devil by the modern world, and the Titans played a similar role in Greek history to the one Satan played in Christian mythology. But, she had certainly seen plenty of monsters that were somewhat similar in nature. In fact, she had been one....
