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

[Aiden]

Molly

The feeling hadn't faded away at all, it lingered like a shadow in the corner. She had thought talking about the layout would have served as enough of a distraction but it didn't. The feeling instead grew and grew, until she could no longer endure it.

She was so wet.

She had to have him, there was no other way. In a heartbeat her mood shifted, and she leapt at him, wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Gazing directly into his eyes, she spoke with a clearly aroused voice. "Look what you've done to me. You have a choice here. Either you fuck me or I'll have to satisfy myself with you in other ways . So what's it going to be?

Liam

He could have reacted in time to catch the maid, stop her, and put an end to her nonsense. Liam really coulda. But the vampire could hear her racing heartbeat, smell her desire leaking out; she filled his senses with her sin. Well, far be it for him to deny her damnation. Not that he got the impression she needed his help getting there.

"Right here, Molly?" He asked as his body reacted with all the heat her blood brought to it. "Well, I reckon' I don't wanna see your 'other ways' right now. I suppose I oughta."

Then he just pushed her up against a wall and forced his lips against her's.

Marcus

Still sort of red, Marcus was drenched in a warm comforting feeling as he felt Forest's hands shift through his hair.  His face lit up uncontrollably, reflecting her smile in his own expression.  There was a moment of silence as he stared into those lovely red eyes.

....

All of the sudden he snapped to attention.  He rubbed the back of his neck with one hand and held her by the lower back in the other, making sure her body was pressed against his.  He didn't want to let go of this feeling.

"So, you took my body and my blood today," he finally said, his face forming his trademark wry smile.  "You're a pretty greedy girl."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Oren

"Geez, you don't have to be so shy about it." She hugged the blonde girl. "Breeze and I won't judge you. If we don't care then there's no reason to be hesitant. You're free. Well, as free as you're ever gonna be. Probably."


Jasey

Ugh. Costin was actually getting kind of irritating. Jasey didn't consider herself an artist but there was a way of doing things. It was like someone taking a dump right next to you while you were enjoying a meal. All screams and no substance. Terror but not real fear.

So she threw her machete and her girlfriend's head at terrifying speeds as she continued to advance after the girl. She was slow but her aura cowed the civilians and she knew exactly where the other girl was at all times. Jasey just walked.

She was inevitable. She wouldn't get tired. The other girl would. It would take a while but she would stumble, and fall, and not even have the energy to keep moving even with how scared she was. And Jasey was there, fresh machete held out, and she advanced.

Then she pulled the girl up and pressed her against a wall in an alley. Choked whimpering and wild, short breaths. This was what it was all about. Jasey held back, of course. She carved the girl up just like a human would. Brutalizing her with the finesse of an amateur but the love of an expert.

Jasey tossed the corpse aside like a used towel before walking away, popping off her mask just before she left it. "Ahhhh, that's the stuff. Costin, yoou still here?"

[Aiden]

Neptune

She actually blinked at that. "You...You wanted direct permission? Don't hold yourself back for little me's sake Gaddy, I'll tell you if you ever cross a line." That felt weird to say. Better go back to shares to clear her head.

"Yeah they go up by helping lots and lots of people and then we get stronger. Not that I wouldn't help them anyway, It would be nice if everyone could wear a smile on their face. Hehehe... sounds like a silly dream doesn't it?" Yet another example of her lung capacity presented itself to him. She must be used to holding long monologues.

Gadreel

Ah. It seemed the fallen angel had committed a blunder. Even with all of his eons of experience he was not immune to fumbling in a relationship it seemed. No great mistake then. He simply nodded and allowed her to move on to the next topic. It ended up being a wise decision in the end.

Gadreel smiled warmly when she finished. "Not at all. It is the simplest desire of a good heart, unmarred by cynicism. I like your dream, Neptune."

[Aiden]

IRON=SAKURA

Sakura patted Breeze on the head. "Stop thinking of lewd things and get your mind on clothes!" She exclaimed, grabbing Breeze by the hand and dragging her into the store.

"Hmmmmmm, what should we look at first..." Sakura wondered aloud.

"Let's go look at swimsuits! That's why we originally came here, right?" She said excitedly. Wearing a nice girly swimsuit should be super nice.

Auspicious Breeze

"E-Eh?!" Breeze's face turned kinda red at being caught out on it, but she still smiled at Sakura. "Those two aren't necessarily separate, ehehe." The former gladiator would have winked but she was being pulled around now so the girl wouldn't see it. Oh well!

There were so many clothes here. At least she had Sakura pointing out where they should start. "Hmm... oh, we definitely need to try them on when we find some good ones!" That was always a fun thing. "Let's look for one for you first." She tried to pull Sakura toward ones that she thought would be cute on her. Two-piece ones in pink and red.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Costin Andrei

The vampire blinked and her vision suddenly split as her entire body was launched back into the chimney. Tch! Damn, her brain just got scrambled again. This was rude, and started to literally get on her nerves. Heh...that wasn't funny... She limped and twisted her neck around to stretch her strained muscles. Gah, what a bother, she didn't even have the strength to laugh about this anymore.

She jumped down the roof with the machete still sticking out of her head and followed along nonchalantly, though for the first time she was frowning.


When she saw what her prey had become at the hands of her killer, the monster sighed and for the first time looked irritated. She was the prey she had chosen, and as mangled as her body was, the pure and beautiful murder was nothing more than a loveless act to her.

She had simple tastes, she simply couldn't love something without breaking it first. Object without cracks or wounds had no value to her, they might as well not exist. But there was no point if she wasn't the one able to express that messy, vulgar and unadulterated love.

"Man, did you really have to kill her? What a waste..." She groaned before stomping on the girl's skull like it was an egg. She had absolutely lost interest at this point, but meat was meat. Without much care she just picked up the broken ragdoll of a corpse and ate it whole from its hair to its flesh to its bones.

"Yknow, I'm starting to get real tired of your bullshit. Just because I won't die from it doesn't mean it can't hurt like a bitch! At this point I might just actually kick the bucket, don't be a moron." She said casually with a derisive snort, her face more of a bored grimace without any of the earlier mad joy.

Suddenly, she was pointing an accusatory finger at the killer. Well, it wasn't hers, but that girl's, she was just holding the leftover arm like a stick.

"I like you, but you can't keep doing this! This relationship is wayyy too one sided, even a brat like you should be able to figure out there's something pretty fucked up with stabbing your own gf for having fun. Are you like, actually crazy or something?" She asked Jasey, sorta kinda concerned, then she ripped the machete off her skull and waved it around like a toy.

"I mean, if you want I can  just stab you. You want me to stab you, huh? Do you think it would be funny if i just started knifing you at every opportunity? You got a jam a knife inside every cute girl around fetish going on? I mean, I do, but I also wouldn't keep you from knifing me! Toootally different."

[Kat]

Huang

"How you can be so oblivious? I'm not letting you feed him. You will either make him feel sick or angry or both. I'm cooking this time, I've served as an apprentice in a temple long enough to know how to do it. Be observant and learn." The monk scolded the sword, for right reasons. His cooking was a natural catastrophe.

[SINIB]

Anastasia

There was enough water in the air and magical energy in leylines that if the enemy was vulnerable to ice and cold then defeating it would be trivial. That was however not the case. But still Anastasia formed pillars and spikes to pin down the Pokemon further in order to render the target more immobile.

Paladin

The knight had been prepared for many things. Being telekinetically smashed through a sheet of ice and getting embedded in the wall was not one of these things. He had barely managed to slip his shield back onto his back in time, and that only stopped him from being knocked out.

As he was, a dull pain was blossoming across his back as he groaned. "Oka? Some help would be," he gave a small shout of effort as he tried to free himself, "would be most appreciated once the opportunity presents itself!"

Regice

The golem roared again, this time at Anastasia. The pokemon attempted to force its way out of the icicles. For some reason though, it seemed to have weakened a bit, and seemed unable to break free at this time. So summoned up five crackling electric balls, and began locking onto Anastasia.

[b/]Oka Kurosawa[/b]

Wormy’s attacks didn’t seem to be working. That was bad, his special defenses must be through the roof to be this strong against fire attacks. She wasn’t even sure it was taking damage.

She’d need to change tactics if they wanted to win.

“Yeah, one sec!” She called out to Paladin before the shadow claw shot out, and dug Paladin out of the wall, dragging him over to Oka. But Oka was busy telling Anastasia off to tell him her plan. “Ana, get out of here! That attack’s gonna finish you!”

[SINIB]

Lucy

Lucy smirked and prodded Noire's red cheek with one of her lithe fingers for a moment. "You're thinking all about it, aren't you? Yep. I'm sure of it. You definitely want something going on with William. And it won't be too hard to set up at all."

The next bowl was set down as the images slowly began to fade. They were still there just not as blatant. Just plain figments of her mind now.

Noire

Noire's blush faded, but just a little bit. She still looked plenty flustered. She moaned and groaned, all internally, and glanced away from Lucy. She busied herself with rapidly gobbling down her new bowl in a rather obscene manner, loudly slurping down the noodles and making contented noises as she did so. For some reason, it just felt like the right thing to do; it made her feel good.

She soon finished it off.

"So, let's get that dessert now, shall we?" Noire asked, resting her hand on her full and happy belly. "And um, do you really think I have a shot?" She thought she did, but she was super inexperienced, sooo...

[SINIB]

Grigori 
 
Grigori almost snorted at the deals being offered. It seemed like all that you had to do was get attention from the women here was be on the of being kicked about.

"It appears that the risks of having such a familiar is that they can be too clever for your own good, Lady Animusphere. Although I'm not quite sure how you will compromise with your demands. You've all gone a bit too far to just back out now." She waved her hand a bit, floating back to the ground as she called forth a rod of rock from the ground.

Runes hissed as they were carved onto the perfectly smooth surface of the instrument. Perhaps something defensive? She would consider it. "But I suppose it is necessary. We must simply work out the terms of exchange to make sure that there is equivalency. Lady Animusphere, how much is the knowledge that I am offering worth to you?"

Olgamally Animusphere

"It's worth a great deal to me, as you obviously must know." Olga said. "Why would I have offered something so extreme otherwise?"

"The ability you're offering me is invaluable, but can you please demonstrate it beforehand, so I know I'm not just being strung along?"

[Kat]

Anastasia

She didn't even have to tell her. And boosting her endurance with that risky spell paid off. She would just get bruised if she propelled herself away out of the way of electricity by getting hit by a pillar made from her own magic. That was a crazy and self harming move that some of practicioners of magic would hesitate to do, but she was a soldier before a mage. She was raised to do everything she could for her country and comrades, even if it meant severing her limb. Well, in this situation she didn't do it, but she still battered up herself quite a bit.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lucy

"Oh yeah, absolutely. You underestimate how much he values you, even after such a short time." She gave a firm nod and an assuring grin. "I'd bet on you!"

Then she ordered the pudding. A variety of relatively small cups filled with different flavors of the stuff was put out. Lucy started eating immediately.

[Kat]

Mordred

"I really can't tell if you're being nice to me or pessimistically looking at my life prospects..." Mordred quipped in reaction to 'probably'. Now they were hugging in such a private place. Breeze would probably have a ready remark about this. "Now a serious question, you're not just interested in Breeze?"

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

"No." She responded instantly. She wouldn't change anything in her life if she could, even coming to the Nexus. She had Shirou, and she wouldn't have met Jeanne if she'd been at home.

"I wouldn't change anything."

[SINIB]

IRON=SAKURA

Sakura patted Breeze on the head. "Stop thinking of lewd things and get your mind on clothes!" She exclaimed, grabbing Breeze by the hand and dragging her into the store.

"Hmmmmmm, what should we look at first..." Sakura wondered aloud.

IRON=SAKURA

"Hmmmmm, this one looks nice." Sakura said, holding a pink frilled one up to her chest. It looked ridiculously cutesy and girlish on her.

"Whaddya think?"
