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

[Aiden]

Sakura Matou

Sakura smiled back at Ron, awkwardly. "Mhm, once I get some food in my belly, it'll all be fine. Everything will be great." She said, as much to herself as to Ron. Maybe if she said it enough, it would actually be true.

Ron

He wasn't entirely convinced, but if she really didn't want to tell him then who was he to force the point? Ron made himself relax then, and nod to Sakura. Soon they would be there, she would have some food, and he would know what came next. Besides, he was curious to see what a drive-thru window was like when you had a chauffeur.

[SINIB]

Jasey

"Uhh... I think they just call the whole place the Nexus, and I don't think we have a goddess either." She shrugged. "If there's one around then I definitely haven't heard about her before. Maybe that's just a thing from where you're from?"

Noire

"What, how could there possibly not be a goddess? Even Eden had a goddess." Noire suddenly shuddered. Thinking about the seven sages reminded her of... No, she didn't even want to think his name, he was too creepy. How could anyone be so perverse?

Ohhh, why do I attract this kind of attention... Noire bemoaned her fate.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Noire asked her again. It just felt completely unbelievable.

[Thedoctor]

Neptune

"Sure I do, it wouldn't be much of a challenge if I didn't and I kinda like you, so you get bonus points there." As the angel then went and paid for the food he couldn't help but wonder what to do with all that he had in reserve, fear not for Neptune is here. She looked up at him, eager to have more fun with him. Hopefully a lot more fun. Soo much fun it would be ultra fun.

"But I wanna go now, I can even help you with the pudding. It's a total win-win for you." The heroine smiled proudly as she presented her flawless logic to him. There was no way he could resist that.

[yinsukin]

Joe

Joe chuckled and scratched his head.  "Ill take that as a yes then," he said, lowering his hands to his sides.  "Sorry to get all serious all of the sudden.  That does remind me, how much time do you have today?  I kinda realized, I sort of just dragged you around today without asking if you had work or anything."

[Panda]

Emily

The changeling wasn't entirely sure how to feel. On one hand, she wasn't sure if he'd actually noticed what she did. On the other, this had come entirely out of left field, after the moment of focus she'd diverted for that mage. Emily's eyes widened as she was pressed up against William, face heated by the sudden kiss, over before she could allow a surprised gasp. Then Lucy came up behind her, leaving her sandwiched between the two and stifling a moan as the taller woman snaked a hand between her and William to grope the redhead.

"N-no," the changeling said with short gasp, "Though this is a bit of a new situation for me, admittedly."

Well, the trapped between a teasing little minx and an admittedly not-unattractive man in the middle of the latter's castle bit, certainly. If not for what was happening right now, Emily might have thought she was getting used to being on the back foot.

[Thedoctor]

William 

"Going straight for her breasts Lucy? I guess I'll have to make do in that case." To follow up on his words, his hands that were already wrapped around her slim waist descended further down and grasped the soft flesh of her impressive butt.

"It's true that she has bigger assets than you but can she use them better?" He asked the maid as he continuee to feel up the redhead.

[YOLF]

Methuselah winced and blinked with wide eyes while Rafalia suddenly cut his dark dome. C-crap, why did she have to make things harder instead of easier for him!? How cruel of her, this was beyond what his dark heart could bear. He covered his face and narrowed his eyes, the sun almost seemed to be brighter all of a sudden. But when he glanced back at her weapon, he looked intrigued for a second.

"Jeez, what a waste. You're not very good at listening to others, are you?" He poked her forehead again, this time a little tad bit annoyed, though still warm in a way. "Can you lend me that butter knife for a second? I would like to gaze upon my humble reflection. You wouldn't be so savage as to deny me even that, would you?"

Rafalia Tredecim

She shook her head lyrically, accompanied by a 'tut-tut-tut' while the knife spun between her fingers.

"I'm afraid this power is only for me," she sung, but reversed her grip, showing him the face of the blade, wicked and unreflective as if hazy obsidian had eaten into the metal. "Besides, it doesn't reflect very well."

The flames in the building adjacent to them crackled and hissed in protest at the efforts of water and determination to snuff them out, but began to falter, leaving even greater plumes of smoke decorating the sky. What had not dispersed of the crowd was cheering in anticipation.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Jasey

"Yep. Pretty positive. I can get a second opinion if you want." Then reality Shifted. It distorted. Something unknowable and vast reached upon the gap between worlds and... and massive spider popped into existence on top of Jasey's head.

"We don't have any goddesses or anything, right?" The massive arachnid made a loud chittering before shaking its body. "Nah, it doesn't think so either. Oh, right this is Spider. It reminds me to do my duties and stuff from its other world place thing."


Lucy

"Well, I certainly have experience over her," she said as her fingers cruelly twisted and pinched Emily's nipples. The Messengers sent a surge of pleasure equal to the pain with every tug and squeeze. "I'm sure that I could have her on her hands and knees begging to learn exactly how to use them better if you gave me some time with her."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lorenzo

The skeleton nearly blinked at Medaka's incredible declaration. W-wha? Why did she have to tell him that? Jeez, this was kinda awkward now all of a sudden, really awkward in fact! Were all modern girls this complicated? But more than confused he was angry, if he could move more than just his skull he would've landed a mighty chop on his poor foolish companion's head.

"Erm, congrats Medaka. That's great! Also kinda pointless, are you a dummy or something? Your soul's way more important than your modesty, and why do you have to tell me that!? Do I look like some scoundrel who'd get angry or jealous just because you've opened yourself up to someone else? Fool!"

Jeez, seriously! Only one girl in this entire world could rile up his heart like this. More than anything though, he felt like he understood the situation a bit better. But vampire... that would explain a lot. Did this mean she was immortal too? Either way, there were more important matters. He sighed, the calmly turned to the blonde vampire and spoke calmly to her, in a surprisingly nontheatrical manner, as if he was opening his heart up to her.

"Shinobu, I know we have gotten off a bad foot, but even despite our duel I consider you as part of my family. You have helped my friend a lot, and I can tell you're not a bad lass. I know it's less than you could ever deserve, but thank you. You will forever have a place in my heart, so if there is anything you need, just ask. I will provide it to the best of my ability."

His words were earnest, there was no exaggeration or delusion of grandeur in any shred of his voice. It was a promise made on the honor of a pirate, one he'd swear upon his father and all those who had made him part of who he was. A pirate may lie, cheat and steal, but his father had taught him one ultimate lesson. Promises are made to be kept.

Lorenzo pondered for a bit, but suddenly, a thought came to him.

"Uh, wait a sec. Medaka, you said the one who snatched your soul kicked the bucket. In that case, this means its returned to you, right?"

[Panda]

Emily

Though it wasn't at all surprising, William escalated things along with Lucy, the man's hands slipping down to the redhead's rear and groping her, tugging a breathy gasp from the changeling. At this point, however, Lucy opted to go the opposite route, twisting and pinching at her hardening nipples, drawing a pained hiss from Emily's lips, but the pain was mixed in with pleasure all the same, perhaps a bit more than usual. Then again, she wouldn't be surprised if it turned out the maid had a fair amount of experience with this. The combination of pleasure and pain rippling through her started up that familiar heat in the changeling, though it also left her incapable of articulating a reply to Lucy's remarks or William's, though her face suddenly felt like it was on fire.

As another moan passed the changeling's lips, she quickly realized that the two mages from earlier were probably still within earshot, though she didn't exactly have the time to concern herself with that predicament at the moment.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin sighed and said, "Yes, I'll help another hopeless case."  Then she chuckled and eyed him.

"So realizing you took advantage of me . . . as for free time, I work free lance and I currently don't have a job right now."

And there's only so much of my happy, pregnant sister and her support group I can take.  So the less time I spend at the manor the better.

[yinsukin]

Medaka

Medaka blinked as she took in her two companion's reactions, her strawberry face finally losing its color.  Perhaps her worry was baseless after all.  Now that she thought about it, sex was far different in the cultures these two came from. 

"Uh, wait a sec. Medaka, you said the one you offered your soul to died. In that case, this means its returned to you, right?"

Medaka shook her head.  "Im not sure why, but another person has my soul," she said, looking upwards at the sky.  "Me and Shinobu ran into him earlier.  He seemed like a kind man with a wounded heart.  Still, next time I see him, I plan on retaking my soul."

The young vampire returned her head to a more normal state, looking back at the two.  Now that she looked at Shinobu again, she finally processed her words.  "Personally, I prefer the adventures we had at the mall and doughnut shop,"  she added, obviously preferring not to relive that.

Joe

Joe smiled as Rin eyed him.  Then, once she was done talking, he stood up and said, "Then it looks like I get to keep you all day."

[Thedoctor]

William

The redhead was reacting in a most satisfying manner to their advances. Her cute moans only spurred his groping on further and he felt himself rise to occasion, his hard length pressing against Emily's stomach. However what his maid said couldn't simply be ignored, to do so would be folly of the highest degree.

"Oh is that so Lucy? Then why don't you put the greater experience into use and show her how you please your master. I'm actually quite interested to see if you can live up to my standards, all you've done is talking so far."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Methuselah

"If you say so..." He shrugged, his ears and cheeks turning slightly red without him even noticing. Surely they were red to begin with! Hmoh, he needed to find a way to reassert his assertiveness, being dragged along like this was unbecoming of him.

"Let's go, no point in sticking around. All this smoke, fire and destruction is making me kinda hungry. I can treat you if you want."


They had been walking for a while together through the city, looking for a good spot to grab a bite. Along the way they found a nice sandwich shop, so he used what little remained of his pathetic savings to buy one for each. With that, they set off until they found a park where they could lie down and relax.

The dark god and the faerie were sitting on the grass under a tree. His back leaned against the trunk while he unwrapped his buffalo chicken sandwich and took a healthy bite. The cool wind, the comfortable shade of the tree's foliage, the ducks swimming peacefully on the pond. For a moment, he felt at peace.

"What a beautiful Nexus. There is no better place for a picnic as this, wouldn't you agree?" He said, turning back to look at the little cheeky fairy.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

"I will make sure to keep that offer in mind Lorenzo."

Shinobu sat up and turned to face Medaka. Her golden eyes roamed all over the blue haired girls body before settling on her adorable face. "What she means is that she is going to try and beat him up only to fail even more so than you did against me. That man is.... dangerous. The blonde vampire sounded entirely serious when she spoke now, all teasing having left her voice. She wanted to punctuate just how grave the situation actually was.

Then her grin returned and she spoke once more with her previous tone. "You seem to have forgotten that little promise you made~"
