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

[Elf]

Rin

Schorl purred as he leaned his head against Joe's hand, butting up against it.

Rin sighed and said, "Technically it's my sister's.  She's practically given it to me.  Honestly, I should save up and try to get my own place away from here.  Sometimes it can be . . . tiring."

She looked away, not wanting to get into her issues with her sister right now with Joe.  "So, how do you feel about Chinese food?  Real Chinese food, not that Westernized garbage they sell to idiots."

[Panda]

Michael

The immortal watched wordlessly as Meti tore through her own weight in food like a starving woman. Quietly ordering a burger of his own on the side, Michael slowly worked his way through the sandwich, savoring every bite as he watched the young girl eat. Waiting until she was done, Michael finished the soda he'd gotten with the burger and filled a couple of small cartons of complimentary peanuts before bringing them along as well.

"Well, I probably should have warned you to eat at a more measured pace, but I'm sure we can wait a bit before we give the rides a try," Michael mused, eyes firmly on her while his other senses observed their surroundings.

[yinsukin]

Marcus

An object suddenly appeared in the sky, falling from the heavens like a meteorite.  It came down strong and fast, shooting downward like a bullet.  A loud thud echoed through the streets as the object struck the side of a local nightclub.

As the dust cleared, a man emerged from the rubble.  His body was coated in blood, dirt and a strange glowing orange aura.  "Ugh, what the hell?!" he said brushing off the dust from his body.  He turned his head right and left, scanning his new surroundings.  "It looks like I went flying into some far off city," he muttered to himself.  The aura faded from his body.

Shit! That means I lost.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Meti

As she fit some of those fried fatty dough things into her mouth Meti broke her incessant eating and blushed a little at her attitude as she looked over at Michael. Maybe she shouldn't have eaten so much? ...But it tasted so good.


Still, she had something important to do. "Hey, Michael... Do you want to help me kill Vanguard?"

[yinsukin]

Guy

The man looked at his fist for a moment before bumping it reluctantly.  "Maybe?" he said in a confused voice.

Yeah this had to be a dream.

All of the sudden, his expression became more determined.  His eyebrows furrowed and his frown leveled out into something more neutral.  "Alright, what do we do."

[Elf]

Forest

It had been a little while since Anastasia and that peck left, and Forest was in the middle of her sound check.  The soundcheck was going well, and with the lights flashing, Forest found herself dancing.  Even though she was alone, and definitely not dressed for it.

And once she was actually feeling good, someone came flying through the wall which prompted two things:

Great, I now have to get this bloody wall replaced, and it's not quite sundown yet.

The blond vampire walked over and reached down, feeling the remaining sunlight burn her hands, and yanked the wanker into the club.  "You know how much it's going to cost to repair this?  And I'm not even open yet," she snapped at him once she was away from the sun.

[yinsukin]

Joe

Joe smiled at the cat.  He looked up when Rin changed the subject.  "Hey, I like my garbage!" he said with a playful smile.  "Ill eat my garbage Chinese food and Mcdonalds until I die."

He paused for a second, turning to face the kitchen.  Then, he turned to face Rin.  "But yeah, that sounds good."

[Elf]

Rin

"Well that trash is part of the reason you were getting out of breath on that hill," Rin replied as she let Schorl down.

She pointed, and headed to the kitchen.  "Come on, I'll fix you some real food."

[Aiden]

Neptune

The surprise kiss caught her off guard and her entire body tensed for moment. She relaxed soon after and pushed back with her tongue, determined to not lose against him so easily. She sank deeper into the kiss, enjoying every moment to it's fullest extent. Eventually she was forced to pull back for air, her lungs screaming for it. Panting slightly, the purple haired goddess met his gaze with a hint of affection present in her eyes. "So do you like actually like me or do you just want to do me Gaddy?"

Gadreel

If Gadreel truly needed oxygen then he, too, would likely be gasping for breath now as well. As it were he was simply licking his lips and chuckling in the aftermath. "I believe the answer to that question is 'yes.' There is nothing 'just' about my intentions here, my cheery friend." He didn't let go yet - why bother when they were about to continue? His voice lowered in volume. "Now, shall I show you what a good friend I can be...?"

[yinsukin]

Marcus

Marcus's eyes widened as he looked down at the young woman's hand.  It looked like it was burning somehow.  He followed the momentum of her tug so she could get out of the sun faster.

His eyes lowered as she snapped at him.  He gave her a shrug and said,  "Wow, so you just opened?  That's just horrible luck."   He pointed at her hand.  "Are you allergic to sun too?"

[Elf]

Forest

"Wow, so you just opened?  That's just horrible luck."

Forest gritted her teeth as her hand began to heal and looked at the person who burst into her club.  "Tall, dark, and handsome" was a cliched adage, but a fitting one to describe this guy.  While he wasn't as handsome as Gadreel - stupid fucking pang- if she'd saw him on the street she would have admired him.

"Are you allergic to sun too?" he asked as he pointed to her hand.

Forest sighed, rubbed her forehead and said, "I have an aversion to it, and you know what, my whole bloody existence is horrible luck.  Let me guess, you were doing something else before your flashy entrance, right?"

[Kat]

Mitsuba

Hah, didn't have even to stay on the ground. Her real body manipulated electromagnetism so aptly that she could levitate in the air. Before Relius managed to tie her down with those annoying puppets, she moved backwards and upwards thanks to her propulsion. Just enough mobile to slash at Ignis as she closed her distance towards them. Muramasa would not break easily, so she could afford doing what might have already broken a lesser blade. She was resolved to win this clash, so she didn't mind some internal damage from using an Embed that would make Muramasa more sharp as long as she could cut through Ignis. She also used another Embed in conjuction, the one that would cause Ignis to suffer a similar damage from a secondary source if Muramasa cut her through. That damaged pole looked quite sharp, and could impale the puppet through a weak spot created by Mitsuba's counterattack.

[yinsukin]

Joe

Joe's smile faded.  "Yeah...."

He got up on cue and walked towards the kitchen. As he got through the door, he scanned the place for a spot to sit.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin grinned as she walked over to the sink, washed her hands, and then put on her apron. 

There was an island in the center of the kitchen with a couple of chairs around it.  Schorl trotted up to one and jumped up on it with a tiny, "Mrrrow."   He curled up and watched Joe through hooded green eyes. 

Rin on the other hand was moving with purpose, setting the oven to preheat as she walked to the kitchen.  Turning to him, the magus asked, "You're not allergic to seafood are you?"

[Kat]

Rikuyo

Rikuyo strolled through the city in the evening, supressing her aura to make herself feel as inconspicious as she could manage it. Heck, she even stole some Western looking clothes from a passerby she robbed and then knocked out unconscious, dumping her body into an open trash container. The woman got spared as the redhead decided to this time prey on some young supernaturals for the heck of it. Their expression as they would realize that they picked on someone out of their weight class would be so priceless. Then she would crush them, savour their fear and devour them. But for now, she looked as unassuming as she could manage. She wore her crimson hair in a ponytail and she was wearing a striped dress reaching above her knees, deep blue tights and black shoes. Honestly it was the first time she wore such a girly clothes, but she didn't mind it as long as she could catch somebody off guard.

She was now sitting in in a cafe, ''dating'' a guy who picked her up. She knew that he was a vampire from his smell. Her insticts were sharp enough to not fool her, and she already had a degree of experience when it came to bloodsucking corpses. Of course it didn't escape her attention that he was trying to affect her through his powers of suggestion. They were on such a low level that she could be not swayed by them, instead she played along, pretending to be a naive village girl that was new to a big city like this. She was getting a bit impatient, but she supressed the urge to murder  him just right now. She would reveal her true nature when he was feeling in total control.

When he finally suggested to go to that dark and foreboding alley, presumably with intentions to drain her there, she still went along with his proposal. He leaned towards her, his fangs withdrawn as he was completely confident that he had her in his thrall. Then out of sudden Rikuyo grabbed his face faster then he could react, slamming him into the wall. Rikuyo smiled psychotically, now her facade dropped.

"Are ya few weeks old or somethin', boy? I actually can't believe it went so swimmingly." Rikuyo remarked, the vampire voice muffled. He hold onto her and his legs flailed, but the resistance was futile. His eyes showed fear and pain as the redhead slammed his bloodied head repeatedly into the wall. She also kneed him in the groin out of malice, once. "Huh, I'll give ya credit for one thing, yer a sturdy toy. I'll have a bit more fun before I eat you~"
