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

[Kat]

Mitsuba

That idiot might have had more braincells then he looked like as him betraying that hero wannabe so audaciously was quite impressive. But that didn't delay his sentence as he simply had to go. The Unchained was deeply convinced that he was more trouble then benefit to keep him alive. The air felt dense as she focused her powers on murdering Darcy. To be more precise, she took a risk to make it sure that the idiot would die and used her Exploit. The priest would die from an unfortunate accident without arising any suspicion and she would sleep soundly tonight without any worry. She couldn't afford him messing around that draconic watch dog any longer.

[Kat]

Petra

"I thought Asians are supposed to be educated, but whatever floats your boat." She doubted that was really the case and simply suspected she was playing a fool about it. There were no Westerners named like that unless she had some really nutcase parents. But could have been worse. She could have been called Aryan Nation or something as outrageous. She herself easily could pose as an Italian or a South Slav thanks to the popularity of the name she used, so Petra just presented her a messianistic Jew whose parents came to USA during 30s from Italy if anyone asked questions.

"And I'm not in mood for paying for your drink either. Everyone will pay for themselves, then. Though I'm new here, so I don't really have clue where we could go." She could have also proposed
Trussardi's place to her for extra humiliation, but that wasn't the best idea. She could only imagine that Tohsaka would mistreat the proprietor with her magecraft for such treatment.

"Maybe we should just go to the nearest place we find and pray for the best. God will feel merciful and save us from finding too shady place, maybe." She shrugged. Petra trusted the Lord, but had no clue how favorably He would look at her companions.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

"Wait for what? You were the one who suddenly tore off her clothes." The vampire said as she walked closer to Medaka with a smirk on her face.


Jeanne

Her master response seemed serious, she then said something unexpected.  After all, you're a cute little thing, Jeanne. Was Sakura teasing her now? She wasn't quite sure, but it looked like it. When they walked through the front door, Jeanne saw something that truly surprised her, A woman with white hair followed by...Sakura and Shirou. No they looked a bit older than the ones she had just met.

Her master acted friendly towards the other Shirou before suddenly punching him, Jeanne was too surprised by this to react in time. The white haired woman rushed over to the new Shirou and helped him out, while yelling something about him going to apologize. The other Sakura was enraged, and rushed at her master trying to hit her. This time Jeanne was prepared.

In a bright flash of light, she was back in her servant outfit. Time seemingly slowed down as she moved, moving at a pace no mortal could match, she easily got in front of her master and grabbed the fist that the other Sakura was sending at her, her grip was firm, not letting go of the fist as she kept looking out for these people making any more moves. Sakura, what's happening? Are you alright She sounded both confused and worried.


' Kuro

Kuro turned to Mordred as the blonde woman complained about her sitting in her lap. "But it's a nice place, and it's so soft." Corbin then bragged in his weird dorky way again. "Wow, resilient enough to handle two sodas, you must be proud of yourself." The white haired girl teased him.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Coung Greyskull

To her relief, the serpent finally ceased its wild stuggle that consisted of trashing about. however, instead of showing dismay, the amazing dark lord cackled in pompous delight, his victory all but assured. Wait...

"NYEH HEH HEH! QUITE SKILLFUL AND BRAVE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT I, THE GREAT COUNT GREYSKULL HAVE COME ON TOP IN THIS GAME OF WITS!!"

Skeletal hands emerged from the hand and grabbed the girl's wrist. At the same time, slowly, the serpent began to incenerate into dust from the tail up, like a timer for a bomb. Once the flame would reach the head, she would be dooomed!! After all, it's not like she could, you know, yank her hand out.

[Elf]

Rin

"No Garou, 'nice' is probably the last word that I would ever think to describe you," Rin said with a sharp smile to Garou.

Then she looked at Petra and said, "Believing in stereotypes is never a good thing.  I'm new here too, so I'm clueless as you are.  However . . ."  She looked across the street at a Quickie Mart there.  "I'm pretty sure I can go in there and ask to use a phone book to find a good bar."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Garou XIII

The fake kyuuketsuki grinned smugly. How foolish, she was truly the foolish one.  "Hah! You really are clueless." He said without hiding a shred of his condescengingness. For one who got riled up so easily over nothing, he sure talked big.

However, it wasn't all baseless. Strangely enough, Garou looked up and began sniffing the air, analyzing his smells with his superior nose like a dog, except with more fleas. His cocky smile only seemed to grow bigger as he finally found a lead.

"Hehe, let's go." He said gleefully, as a nerd about to soil his pants as he is about to enter an anime convention would. He just walked off proudly, almost arrogantly. He sure expected them to follow, he was after all the leader.

[Kat]

Mordred

Honestly, Kuro was being too clingy for Mordred's taste and she wished other people respected her personal space more. The girl again bantered with Corbin, and the changeling started getting a bit bored just sitting in the cafe. "Hey, we just sit and talk here. We should go out and have some fun, maybe..." She suggested. And maybe Kuro would stop clinging to her so much if they went outdoors.

[Elf]

Corbin

Corbin grinned at Kuro and reached out to lightly tap her little, adorable nose.

As he pulled his hand back, he said, "My bladder is mighty.  It takes more than two sodas to make me do the I Gotta Piss dance."

"Hey, we just sit and talk here. We should go out and have some fun, maybe..." Mordred said, looking a little restless.

Corbin put down his now empty glass and asked, "Well, were do you wanna go, Mord?"

[Kat]

Petra

Trust the "insticts" of her eccentric colleague or whatever that girl unearthed in a phonebook? Honestly, who used phonebooks in the modern age. She really should buy a phone next time she has such occassion.

As she really didn't care where they went to begin with, she just shrugged and followed Garou, humoring his whim that way.

[Panda]

Emily

The Changeling allowed a laugh at that, a relaxed smile gracing her face as she leaned back in her seat.

"Well, at most I've got a temporary solution, to be honest," Emily admitted, "One that you seem to already have in mind,  if your question is anything to go by. Unfortunately, I haven't had the fortune of meeting anyone who'd fit that description since I arrived here."

[Thedoctor]

Kuro

Kuro stretched a bit as she thought about what the said. "Maybe going out somewhere will be fun," She stuck her tongue out at Corbin as he poked her nose. "Yeah and if we go out maybe you can demonstrate your awesome hunting powers." She joked.

[Kat]

Mordred

"It's not that I shy away from danger, Kuro, but let's not think about fighting, you will jynx us." She so wished she spent at least the remainder of the day in peace, she really needed it. "But you know, if you really have stamina, maybe you are good at sports? Wanna go out and play something? Though we would probably need a fourth person for any team sport, that might be a problem..." Where they would find someone who had enough free time and good will to play with strangers?

[Aiden]

Forest

Why do you allow this? Because it’s friends with Saber? Disgusting creature, remember the penalties. Life penalty, body penalty, freedom penalty, fame penalty, fortune penalty.

Forest flinched ever so slightly as the unwanted occupant in Lancelot's head made itself known.  Her hand tightened around Gadreel's ever so slightly as the feed back dug into her, like needles being inserted into her ears and eyes.  The room tilted ever so slightly.

Why care what Saber would wish? Selfish ⎕⎕⎕, you paid her penalty, and she violates you. Violation for benefit, violation for respect.

Yes, Saber is very much someone who uses people, myself included.  She made sure not to project the thought, keeping it to herself as the evil in Lancelot continued to rant as he said aloud, “I, ah, yes. As I said, distracted.”

Had he not had all the World's Evil living within him, and Gadreel hadn't been there, Forest would have teased him ever so slightly.  However . . . Her vision blurred as she threw up barriers to try to block that thing.

⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF ⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF ⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF ⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF ⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF ⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF ⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF ⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF ⎕⎕⎕FOR SELF

“I… I need to go,” the fallen knight said in a soft voice before literally running away.

I suddenly have the impression that he had an unfortunate affair with his lady king, but I suspect that has little to do with this action. Shall we pursue? Gadreel asked.

Forest shook off the literal pain of being around Lancelot and rubbed her forehead with her hand.  I don't know if here's anything I can do, other than standing here and letting him insert the pointy end of his sword in me over and over until the voices in his head shut up.  He's . . . not alone in his head, and I'm not talking about MPD either.  I'm talking Father Merrick type stuff here.

Gadreel

His current companion's psychic misery by proxy leaked into the exile's mind as she projected her explanation to him. The residue of human malice provoked in him the need to visibly grimace. He could not repress his profane form's automatic response in that manner. Such a thing is... just receiving the echo is disturbing.

Gadreel attempted to shake the thought loose from his head. Is this a regular occurrence for him, then?

[Elf]

Rin

". . . I . . . just . . . " Rin's eyes widened as she watched Garou sniff the air like a dog and head in a direction.

She ran a hand through her hair and muttered, "I can't believe I'm doing this."  Then she followed Petra and Garou to wherever Garou's nose was leading them.


Corbin

"Why are you always trying to borrow trouble, Little Bit?" Corbin asked Kuro with a grin before turning back towards Mordred.

He toyed with his now empty bottle and said, "Well, there's always Rugby or . . . laser tag."


Gabriel

"So what is your temporary solution?" Gabriel asked with a smile.  "Then I will tell you if it's the same as mine."


Forest

Forest watched as a grimace marred Gadreel's perfect face.

I'm sorry, I thought I was shielding you from the bulk of it, Forest replied, It is yes.  Saber isn't aware of it; if he wants to tell to her he'll tell her.  Anything I could do to lock it or shield him would be temporary at best . . .

She gave his hand a tiny squeeze and said aloud, "I'm sorry . . ."

[Panda]

Emily

The Changeling smirked in return, leaning in a bit.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I'd say she sounds like she needs to get laid," Emily admitted without even the slightest hint of an embarrassed blush, though the alcohol was starting to light a slight glow in her nonetheless, "Badly. Sounds like that would help out with whatever stress she's dealing with, and it would be a nice break from doing things for other people, I'd imagine."
