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

[Umbra of Chaos]

Alarice

The noble stared at the food being offered to her. Was she to eat it from her hands like a dog? Still, no one seemed to have noticed so it couldn't have been that strange here, and lords who failed to adapt were ultimately resisted for being too foreign. So she leaned forward and let the other blonde place the food in her mouth.

It was fine, she supposed. A bit greasy but one could say that for the entire establishment. Her logical approach still failed to stop the hot flush from creeping into her cheeks. The behavior was shameful and no one could tell her otherwise!


Liseth

"Yeah, of course. Thanks." She still kind of felt bad about it, even if he was some super powered magic familiar thing. Did magic familiars even buy things? Did they just make clothes out of nothing? Well, it couldn't hurt. So while she took out her phone and began to scroll through some fanfiction she used other hand to start pulling out golden coins.

When she had about 4 stacks of six coins side by side she stopped. "Well, you can have these. I don't know if you really need them but they could be useful if you ever wany to buy something for yourself without Sakura's cash. Think of it as payment for the tea. I'm sure anyone else would've liked it."

[Break]

Coppelius

Absorbed in the masks on display, the Doll listened only absent-mindedly to the old man's courteous words.

At the idiom, however, he looked up, and an almost mischievous smile appeared on his face as he turned toward the salesman:
"Oh, this one does'nt have a soul. Thats on a completely different level."

Settling on one mask that particularly caught his attention, he grabbed four more without even looking; clearly the intent he had for those were of far less concern than the first one.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Recognising that the two lovers were in the middle of a conversation and had barely even noticed her arrival, Rider opened up the box and took out a slice of pizza as she listened to their conversation. However, then, the conversation got onto the ribbon in Oka's hair, Rider's eyes widening momentarily as she heard the very-different explanation for it's presence, before she smiled gently.

"You're right to be proud. Not everyone can be a hero, after all", she said, smiling.

Then, she took a bite out of the pizza. To her surprise, the meat didn't seem to be beef, although it was something similar. It tasted jucier, more tender and, overall, just nicer.

"This pizza is good", she said. "Do you two want some?"

Then, after a pause, she added another question.

"What sort of meat is this, anyway? It tastes a bit like beef, but it's definitely different."

After she asked, she heard Jin address Oka.

"I see...", he said. "So anything you'd like to do, I'm feeling a bit tired after that fight, so something relaxing would be nice."

Seeing how they were interacting, and knowing Sakura all-too-well, Rider quickly got the subtext behind the question. The two of them were horny and wanted to have sex, and she was in the way. She would need to leave soon, to give them some privacy, but not until she had at least exchanged numbers with the sweet girl.

[Thedoctor]

Archer

Archer raised an eyebrow as he saw that Liseth had pulled  out her phone and started looking at it while browsing her pockets for something. She finally pulled a bunch of gold coins and lined them up in 4 stacks with 6 coins in each, numbering 24 in total. Her intent of paying hiim was both a bit awkward and cute, perhaps she wasn't used to being a guest.

Archer caught her hand with his while the other grabbed the coins and started putting them on her palm one by one slowly. "There's no need to pay here Liseth, You are a guest and furthermore I have no use for the money. I appreciate the gesture though."


Shinobu

The vampire let out a slight moan which she quickly tried to supress when she felt Medaka's hands move down to her butt and squeezed it. While it felt nice she wasn't going to let the girl know she was doing a good job. She shivered slightly as the hands moved around her and slid up her belly, however to her disappointment they stopped just short of her breasts. When she cast a look at Medaka's face she notice that the blue haired girl was flustered in pretty strawberry pink color. This was good, just a little more. "I hope you are not finished~" Her voice had a teasing edge to it but underneath a hint of genuine excitement could be heard.

[SINIB]

Oka Kurosawa

Oka glanced at Rider and laughed. "What in the world is beef?" She asked her. "It's Tarous meat." She said, as if it was completely natural and normal to her. She glanced back at Jin and smiled, discreetly pressing herself against him. "And of course I'd love to help you relax."

But before that… She looked back at Rider. "Well, what's your phone number, Rider? It's getting late, and I don't want to keep you too late."

[SINIB]

Foxkura

Shiro continued chasing them around, dodging objects where she could with unearthly fluidity and smashing through walls where she couldn't. She noticed the stangers approching, but largely ignored them, instead focusing on the hunt.

[SINIB]

Jeanne

The woman kept smiling innocently while appearing to be thinking about it. "Maybe...Do you prefer beds?"

Shirou Emiya

Shirou chuckled. "Don't you? He asked her as he climbed off the counter and offered her his free hand. "Come on, let's go buy this and try it out. We better make sure it works before heading back."

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider looked at Oka with confusion.

Taurus? But that just means "bull"....

Yet, the context told her that it wasn't as simple as that. After all, the girl's world seemed to have many differences, and why would she have described the meat with the Latin word for "bull" if that was all that it was? Besides, it didn't taste like beef....

"Erm, beef is the meat from a cow. And, what do you mean by 'Taurus meat'? 'Taurus' is the Latin for 'bull', which is a male cow", she said, recognising that the girl probably meant something different, but nevertheless confused.

Then, smiling, she took out her phone and unlocked it, displaying a picture of Sakura held in Shirou's arms. Blushing for a moment as she realised how odd it would look, particularly to Jin, she quickly accessed her phone book and brought up her own number.

"Here you go", she said, giving the phone to Oka. It was easier than reading the number out, after all, although she wasn't entirely sure even how her Japanese phone number would work here in the Nexus.

"Try calling me when you're done, that way I can get your number and we can make sure it works. My phone number is Japanese, but the Nexus works in an odd manner...."

[SINIB]

Oka Kurosawa

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Oka said honestly about cows and beef and whatnot. "Tarous is a pokemon bred for food. I guess this is just another thing I'll need to learn about." She said. "But anyway…"

Oka then took the phone from Rider and tapped the add new contact button, putting her name and number into it, then sending a call to herself, ending it on the first ring. "Ok." She said, handing it back to Rider. "Have a safe trip, Medusa." She said to her.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

A confused look came over Rider's face at Oka's words. Pokemon bred for food? She thought they were intelligent creatures.

Meanwhile, Oka entered her number into the phone, before calling herself and, then, handing the phone back to Rider. Opening up the phone, she found Oka's number in the list and smiled. As she did so, Oka gave her an entirely unsubtle hint to leave. Rider felt a little upset, since she'd not even finished the pizza yet, but she could tell that the girl was obviously horny and wanted time alone with her boyfriend, so she couldn't really blame her for it.

Yet, whilst she knew she had to leave soon, she was still curious about the meat on the pizza. Oka didn't seem like the sort of person to eat sentient creatures, after all. So, taking out the other remaining pizza slice, she addressed Oka again.

"Aren't Pokemon intelligent?" she asked, quickly finishing the slice of pizza, not wanting to hold the girl up any longer than she needed to.

[Kat]

Petra

Short long story, Petra and Dante managed to find a place where they could sell the gem, but she still couldn't totally shake off feeling that she could fetch much better site for it.

"Here's your share" Petra said as threw the bag with money into Dante's direction. "I will rent an apartment, but you're on your own. I don't have intention to be a host."

[Panda]

Annabeth

The Hunter leaned against Ron in turn with a grin that was part contentedness and part triumph, trying to tune out the white-haired man's bullshit when Riku pointed at the phone booth and it exploded.

Oh, great. She can do something resembling Emission too.

Of course, the white-haired man continued to ramble, now calling Riku a werewolf. Well, to be fair, she kinda looked the part right now, but so far as the Hunter knew, that was about it. Regardless, the temptation to shoot him was making itself known all over again. The temptation to simply leave Riku to deal with him was also rising, Annabeth deciding to suggest as much to Ron by meeting his eyes and then quickly glancing over at the door once she was sure he was looking.

[Kat]

Mordred

So in the end, Kuro still was interested hearing out her story. She let out a sigh, as she wasn't exactly eager about revealing her past just like that. "Okay. If I told you whole story about my origins, it would take too long, so I will tell you what's important. There was a time when I was quite naive. Others could say I was 'idealistic' back then, but it's just that my 'ideal' change. When I used to be younger and more inexperienced, I was assigned to my superior as sort of trainee. If he looked like a knight some could say I was his squire, but he really didn't look like. Man, if feels like
a distant past even if it was only 8 years ago. I wonder if you had a mentor figure too. Your swordsmanship is really superb after all."

Her swordsmanship didn't look like something inborn to her eyes, but more like a result of years of training. If that was the case, she really didn't approve of that. Children should have a peaceful youth, not spend it on training from your age, or worse, forced to fight from a young age. Like maybe the changeling herself. Her memory was really blurry even about her early part of her 'stay' in Arcadia, let alone how she ended up there. 

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka's glance moved away from her breasts into the eyes of the golden eyed vampire.  She could see the excitement in them, unlike anything that she had ever displayed before.  Even if she was a bit nervous she had to keep going.  She wanted to see her smile.

"Of course not." She said with a nervous smile.

Her hand glid moved upwards from her belly to the breast. She examined them with her hand elegantly feeling the outline of the each breast.  Her other hand went down on the vampire looking for her slit.  It traveled down and gently touched it before coming back up to join the other hand at the chest.  Both hands firmly squeezed the breasts of the girl.  Then she attempted to try to push her onto the bed.  As she did so, she monitored the vampire for a reaction.

Relius Clover

In reaction to the girls comment, Relius's grin vanished, replaced by a look of neutral calculation.  This presents a problem.  Based on what I have encountered so far, fighters here are much stronger than in my own world.  It would be foolish to attempt to capture them both.

He looked back at the puppet and noticed it was picking up many masks.  "So I take it, those mask interests you?  That is definitely one of my favorites as well.  Although you did say you were looking for doll parts yes?  Come.  Follow me to the back.  I can check that out with the rest of your things."  He said, walking to the backdoor.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

Jeanne ignored the hand he was offering her as she instead flipped down from the counter, bracing herself with one hand as she spun through the air before landing on her feet. she then turned to him, giving him a bright smile. "We can't have you do all the work now....come on the day is no longer young." She then started looking for the cashier.


Jin

Jin was leaning against Oka, enjoying the feeling of her softness as he half listened to her conversation with Rider, they were talking about Tarous meat and something about Oka giving her phone number.  The fight had really put a number on him so he didn't interrupt their conversation. Rider suddenly questioned whether or not Pokemon were intelligent. "From what I understand....some Pokemon are and some aren't." He finally interuppted them, pausing mid sentence in a way that suggested he was feeling a bit tired.
