Cross Effects 3.0 - June 23, 2016—April 02, 2018

Michael

In spite of his best attempts, he couldn't help a short laugh at Mordred's example.

"Ah, my apologies," he said, not particularly meaning it, "That just reminded me of this one vampire hunter I met about a century back who boasted of that same tally. The part he didn't mention was that none of those were elders, and unfortunately for him, there was one nearby who was quite happy to show him the error of his ways. Well, they tried."

Well, if she thinks that of me, then let her keep that illusion. It'll make surprising her all the more enjoyable. All the same, perhaps this might turn out a bit more interesting than I thought.

"In any case, what was the most rigorous training you've undergone?" Michael said, letting it seem like he was regaining composure he hadn't truly lost in the first place, "I'd like to get an idea of how to pace your training under me."

[Kat]

Mordred

"10 kilometres long runs for my life, getting my bones crushed by gravity, stabbed repeatedly by any monster just passing by and picking on me when I'm doing my errands, and sit ups, push ups and plenty of juice. I even sometimes get almost killed by my friends and acquittances. To be honest if I grew stronger just by being wailed on I wouldn't bother to ask for the training in first place." Mordred's tone was plenty of sarcasm. She was so jaded about experiencing the worst from her life that she would endure any rigorous training by now. "So I don't really care how hard it is. If you want to impress me, give it best shot."

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

Ron snuck his hand under her top, feeling her up like there was no tomorrow. She arched her back slightly in response, pushing her breasts closer to him.
The blonde vampire also kept up the grinding of her butt against Ron's hardness as Medaka started questioning her.

"How far? Until he is all the way inside of me course~" She whispered back to the blue haired girl. Could it be that the younger vampire was jealous? She seemed rather curious too however.

"I think he's pretty big Medaka, or at least that is how it feels. Maybe you could have a look at it?" This time she spoke louder clearly inteding for Ron to hear it.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

Jeanne turned to Shirou as she heard him complain, flashing him a cute innocent smile. No it couldn't be, the smile merely appeared to be innocent, it was the same she'd given him earlier when she made him drink.

"Master Sakura was telling me how she'd buy me a lifetime supply of alcohol for my services. Maybe I should get serious with my training of you?" She turned to Sakura once more. "Am I allowed to tie him up and whip him if he fails to meet my expectations? The blonde asked with a straight face and a serious tone.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Yeah, then it's a promise." Rikuyo remembered her words and treated them seriously. She would be more than disappointed if she went back on her word. 

"Don't ya worry about Annie, Ron-kun, if she's gonna meddle, I'll beat sense into her." The redhead reassured the werewolf nonchalantly, walking up to him again dangerously close. After all, she was all naked and he could still her see her full frontal nudity. "But I hope she gets angry, this will be chance  fight her, haha!"

[Panda]

Michael

The immortal listened as Mordred listed off the things she'd gone through, looking mildly unimpressed.

"Impressing you is not the matter at hand here, only training you, but considering that you've gone through all that, I suppose we can move things ahead a little bit," Michael said, taking a moment to shuffle around the training schedule in his head, "I've been doing this for long enough to be sure you won't be risking death, though I'll be hiring a healer later on, just to be safe. That aside...well, your conviction seems to be strong to keep you going, so you should be fine."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Vanguard

Vanguard closed his eyes and spoke in a soft, calm voice, laying a hand on the table firmly yet with no excess of strength.

"Don't make someone repeat a question only meant to be asked once. It makes the respondent look unintelligent."

[Panda]

Annabeth

As much as the irritation she felt towards the man was gnawing away at her, she still recognized the gesture, muted though it was. At the very least, it was nice that he didn't seem to be looking for trouble either.

"Or you could just leave the question be, no one's making you ask again," the Hunter shot back, leaning back with her arms crossed over her chest, "If you must know, then yes, I've been in a fight recently."

[Kat]

Mordred

"Whose is even that healer? Actually let me handle that aspect. I have certain connections within the  law enforcement, so it should be easier for me than you to find the right person." The true reason is  that she wanted to have control over that to not let Emily and whatever shady company she hanged out with let meddle with her training. Only certified Elite, Enforcer and police related specialists, no civilians. That was the only way to be 100 % sure. Plus I guess she could hire one of them at a discount if she justified well that improving her skills would be a future investment for Elites and Enforcers.

Medaka

Medaka pulled away from Shinobu's back circling the two.  She placed her hand on her hip.  "Oh really?  Your hogging him all to yourself.  I still want to play with him a bit more too."  She said almost impatiently. 

She looked at the two, smiled and got on her knees.  Then she began crawling towards the two, her breasts hanging in full view with nothing but a bra.  "But I think I like that face of yours, even if it doesn't come from me. Cmon Rikuyo.  Hes clearly is still holding"  She said, crawling on top of Shinobu and tearing off her top.  "Aren't they a lovely pair?"  She said with a proud smile.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lucy

So she slapped her hands over her ears and shut her eyes. Even the small group of manifested Messengers mirrored her motions in order to show how serious she was being. "Alright, alright. But it better be good! I'll have to bully you a bit if you made me do this for nothing."

[SINIB]

IRON=SAKURA

After Sakura left Paladin's house, she meandered about for a while, carrying her heavy duffle back casually over her shoulder. Eventually the young woman ended up at a park, and on a whim, decided to get on the swings. She idly swang back and fourth, enjoying the feeling of moving through the air.

[Thedoctor]

Kuro

She acknowledged his plan with a nod, the plan was a decent as any. That still left the question of how they were controlled, She couldn't see anyone near them, maybe it was through sensing? Kuro took a step back, and another, as she kept cutting at the swarm. How was he plannin to act like the bait anyway, he wasn't planning to throw himself into it was he?

Increasing her pace she sent him a look. "Are you sure you can keep up?"




William

The last of the drones ceased to function as it was crushed in between his hands with a mighty squeeze. Pathetic, they'd been truly pathetic. Of course he realized the drones were a diversion for them to get a away and he couldn't care less. They weren't a threat and they'd never be. The boy would likely be history unless a miracle occured.


Sigh.

The terrible aura around him dissapeared, if this was the extent of the their power he could just walk in there right now and take over. No, calm down. She's most likely just a nobody, would explain why she was both alone and so terribly dissapointing.

And with that the man vanished, leaving only the broken remains of the waterslide behind.

[SINIB]

Jeanne

Jeanne turned to Shirou as she heard him complain, flashing him a cute innocent smile. No it couldn't be, the smile merely appeared to be innocent, it was the same she'd given him earlier when she made him drink.

"Master Sakura was telling me how she'd buy me a lifetime supply of alcohol for my services. Maybe I should get serious with my training of you?" She turned to Sakura once more. "Am I allowed to tie him up and whip him if he fails to meet my expectations? The blonde asked with a straight face and a serious tone.

Sakura Matou

Sakura smiled at Jeanne with what at first glance would be mistaken for a cute and innocent smile. However, it was anything but that. "I don't think Senpai deserves to be whipped, Jeanne." Sakura told her servant seriously, as if veiling a threat.

Just as quickly as her mood had changed the first time, it went back to being normal as instantly as it had changed.

"It wouldn't befit such a cute servant as yourself, after all." Sakura reached over and pulled Jeanne into a hug as they reached the top of the stairs.

So will you... be joining us tonight? Sakura asked with a shy tone, failing to hide her obvious interest and lust.

Shirou listened to the two silently, annoyed at the banter they seemed to be having. He was sure they were planning a prank, and that he wouldn't like it.

Mordred

Five months later

And so a whole season passed. She juggled her time between assignments for the law enforcement and her training. Michael was not someone with a compelling enough personality that she would treat as a role model or her true teacher. More like a hired specialist for the sake of managing and supervising her training. If it wasn't for the company of Breeze she wouldn't even consider that option no matter what result it yielded. Paying bills of that shady dojo wasn't a sign of gratitude but more like financial compensation for services rendered.

As for her times with Elites, it seems like Noel transferred to the police force due to her personal preferences. Seeing that just doing assignments for Elites wouldn't help much her secret goal, she transfered to Enforcers herself hopefully to get some more say and influence in the law enforcement. After few months of largely impeccable service and impressive achievements like melting faces off skulls of troublemaking vampire trash by decking them right in the face (honestly, the rung bottom of the vampire scum was unimpressive enough that she really didn't bother to try hard. How pathetic they must have been considering her own track record, indeed.), she gained a rank of a junior officer within Enforcers which meant better pay and authority to order around even weaker people than herself. Well, she figured out that in a need she could always use help of Breeze  if the situation demanded so as long as she didn't reveal anything confidential to her.

Sitting on a bench and waiting for her appointed meeting with Breeze while smoking cigarettes idly,
she noticed a familiar looking woman coming over and getting on nearby swings. Where she saw her last time? Oh, those three Stooges! But maybe that was just a coincidence. "Hey, you look familiar. I feel like I've saw you somewhere before..." She tried to strike a conversation while Breeze seemed to had been delayed by something.
