{ Zeref takes a moment to adjust the device. He's leaning forward, fidgeting with... something. The sound of a heavy object behind the screen being adjusted behind the device could very clearly be heard. The device seems to be placed strategically to leave as little detail about where he could possibly be posting from; the area behind him was non-descript, except for a simple bare, wooden wall, typical to buildings in Fayren. There were no nearby windows or any decoration of any kind behind him. }

Is the concept of a 'mage guild' truly so foreign to other worlds? Other worlds with magic, of course. { Zeref had never been a part of one, nor did he have any desire to join one, but they were such an integral part of society in his world that it seems strange to him that so few others seem to know what they are. At least they exist in Fayren. } I'm curious... in those worlds in which they do not exist, what, exactly are mages expected to do? Join the military? Live as hermits? Die?

{ He's aware of more than a few worlds where mages are persecuted out of fear by non-mages, if not killed outright. }

Can you meet me at Scribes and Scripts? There's something I want to give you.

[ Pivate to Erza Scarlet - text ]
Hello, Erza. Are you available? I'd like to talk about something if you have time.

I suppose I can't blame you for that. I recently found out what was going on in my own world, as well. I--... well. Let's just say it's given me a lot of mixed feelings, and I'm not in any hurry to go back.

I see.

I hope that my home improves...

[She doesn't think it can get worse.]

I've spent more than four centuries hoping the same for my world. After a certain point, it's hard not to want to give up.

I plan to help it improve if I can.

[She isn't going to sit back and wait.]

That's noble. Unfortunately, I've long since come to learn that one individual human cannot change the collective of humanity. At least... not permanently. In the end, human nature always wins, even if one calamity can be averted.

I suppose it's lucky for me that I'm not human and I don't think I'm alone at home either.

[He might not be able to convince Terra otherwise.]

You aren't? What are you, then, you don't mind my asking?

I am an Esper.

[She doesn't know if he'll need more of an explanation than that.]

{ Zeref is silent for several seconds. Well, that explains a lot. No, he definitely didn't need more of an explanation than that. }

I see... { She must have her own reasons for working for this empire, then. } In that case, I am even more relieved that Kefka is not here anymore.

[Terra pauses, her eyes widening.]

Kefka was here?

[Memories flash behind her bright blue eyes and she drops the phone, pressing her fingers to her head. Fire rages behind her eyes as well as that familiar cackle. Yes, he had been here but that was so long ago. Had this man known him? Does he know her? Something familiar tugs at Terra's mind as she composes herself and reaches for the phone.]

I'm sorry. I've been regaining memories of Genessia slowly. That one... had been an unpleasant memory. [But it's hers and she's happy to have it back.] I-

[A beat.]

Have you met me before?

{ He's starting to catch on to that, yes. He tries not to let it show, but if that's true, that memories of this world can be regained... well, that's a game changer. }

I have, yes. { A beat. } Do you remember that?

[Terra thoughtfully presses her index finger to her lower lip.]

You seem familiar.

[A beat.]

I remember fairy tail. Someone there was helping me with my magic the last time I was here but I don't remember who it was.

I can't help you with that. My staying with the guild is fairly recent, and even then, I'm not a member of the guild.

{ And he has no desire to join them. He can see no scenario in which he would join them that could possibly end well. Mavis must agree, because she hasn't brought up the possibility once. }

So... you do remember things about this world, but not completely. That's...

{ Potentially very useful information. }

Can you?

[Terra looks hopeful. She wishes she could remember the person who she knew at Fairy tail.]

What is it?

[She isn't sure how it is useful.]

I could only tell you who it might be. What kind of magic were they helping you with?

{ Zeref shakes his head at her next question. }

It's nothing. It will only matter if he ever returns.

All of it.

I am attuned to fire but I can cast many different spells. I can't always control them though.

[She wonders about his reply before nodding her head. Terra has no reason too but she's going to trust Zeref.]
