Indian Summer Illusion: New residents, New villain, New anniversary [Video open/Action closed]

[fairysoul]

A [Video/Open to all]

[Mavis is sitting by the lake in Fayren.]

August is a great month of the year, isn't it?

[She sounds dreamy, and she might be blushing a little.]

I would have liked to be able to tell him that.

[She suddenly realizes the feed is open. She blinks and then simply smiles.] I've heard people celebrate anniversaries by offering something that corresponds to the number of years. Like... 50 years corresponds to gold, 60 years correspond to diamonds,... But I couldn't find a book about it.

Could one of you help me figure out what 3 years mean?


B [Text message - Private to Fayren's deputies + Moon Knight]
I believe you all saw this. Qubine, the villain in question is the guy who made the recent anonymous posts against heroes and guardians. I wanted to inform you that Aizawa - and probably some of his students - is going to be moving to Fairy Haven, for his protection. This means we need to be careful and keep an eye out for this villain.

According to the information I could gather, he's a human male, he has light blue hair and a disembodied hand covering his face. Though I suspect it's mostly a way to hide his true identity when actin as a villain, so he might not wear the hand all the time. Let me know if you notice any new arrival who'd match this description.


C [Action - Open to all Fairy Haven's residents/employees/regulars and to Aizawa, Bakugou and whoever they decide to bring with them]
[Mavis is waiting by the entrance of Fairy Haven. She's watching the horizon intently. Suddenly, she claps her hands happily and turns around.]
Mira! Erza! I think I see them! Want to come with me and show them their new 'classroom' and their beds in the dorms? Tatlyn and Zeref, you're welcome to come too.
[Though she's not sure Zeref will want to.]
[[Edit OOC note: feel free to threadjack any action thread you want.]]

Behind the Bar

[hot_handed]

[Bakugou is fucking starving. At some point after being freed of Aizawa's scarf and putting his belongings away, he wandered back more quietly than before and spotting the bar, had taken to searching it for any food. He looks at the ingredients on hand with a scrutinizing eye, and then, like the place belongs to him, he starts preparing ingredients looking just as cranky as usual. He seems to know what he's doing though and is preparing enough for multiple people.]

[bigbadrose]

[It's Rose's favorite hang out!! And if Bakugou hasn't caught on, the fire mark on her right hand, is actually her guild mark to Fairy Tail. She's VERY PROUD OF IT. And super fond of Mirajane and Mavis. And of course Jack is her best friend other than the Doctor.]

[So the minute she sees Bakugou tending bar there's such a record scratch you'd think it was her magic power or something.]

Baka, no!

You can't jus-- [Cuts off when she realizes...] You actually made a correct Bloody Mary? [OR she's gotten too used to Haunted Eatings using real blood and forgotten what a regular one requires.] Where did you learn to do tha--

[Headshake!] Mira's gonna kill you if she sees you there...

[hot_handed]

[The hand clutching the glass goes tense, veins throbbing as he death-glares at the person who used that name.]

Do you want your shitty drink or not?

[In the background there's something simmering. It smells delicious.]

[bigbadrose]

Mirajane's practically my sister. She knows what I-

[Sniff. >:T] What's that?

[hot_handed]

Who's Mirajane? She must be annoying if you can relate to her.

What's what?

[grossartig_mond]

[Camilla had been exploring Fayren when she came across Fairy Haven. She'd heard of pubs of course, but had never been allowed to visit them. Upon peeking inside, it seemed to fit the descriptions Beruka had given her, but nicer. Assuming this was just a pub, she waltzed in, her flowing black dress trailing behind her. Though she lacked her massive axe, she was carrying a gold-embossed tome under her arm. She makes her way over and takes a seat at the bar, waiting for Bakugou to turn around. When she gets tired of waiting, she sighs a bit.]

A glass of wine at least would be very nice.

[hot_handed]

[He sneers when he turns around. Really? This Emo Grape Haired looking woman had the audacity to act impatient when not even specifying what kind of fucking wine?]

Be more specific-- Syrah, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay-- what do you fucking want?

[She better know what those mean or he's throwing a glass of tap water at her.]

[grossartig_mond]

My word, such manners.

[She gives a glare veiled by a strained smile. She taps her tome with a finger tip, causing sparks to fly.]

I would suggest you watch your tone with me, boy. [She takes a steadying breath, putting her regal mask back on.] Pinot Noir please.

[She wasn't familiar with them, but she was always up for trying new wines.]

[hot_handed]

[He's about to mouth off at her, but he goes silent in anger, boiling at her attitude. He smirks mirthlessly.]

Too fucking bad, Sparky Fingers. I've decided not to serve your entitled ass.

[leekspins]

[At the end of the day once the bakery is closed, Orihime goes around to her friends to drop off the leftover bread and pastries. She has to go a little further now to find Aizawa and Bakugou, but secretly she's a little glad she has a reason to go to Fayren, especially when it's not on business. She really wants to ride a pegasus, but hasn't managed to see one yet.]

[She has two bags to take care of everyone at Fairy Tail as well, one on each elbow as she makes her way inside.]

Mavis-chan! Mirajane-san!

[She doesn't immediately spot them, but she definitely knows the owner of that head of poofy blonde spikes behind the bar.]

Oh, Murder-sama! I'm surprised, I didn't think Mirajane-san let other people back here.

[She puts one of the bread bags up on the counter, out of the way of his preparations. ...Wow, he can cook? She didn't know he had that kind of skill.]

Have you had a chance to settle and unpack?

[hot_handed]

Fire Hair.

[Finally, a familiar fucking face he doesn't despise. Even though he says her nickname neutrally, he's glad to see her. He shoves a bowl of stir fried noodles he just made at her.]

What do you want to drink? You're too young for alcohol. ...Who the fuck is Mirajane?

[He shrugs.] I got started.

[leekspins]

[Orihime's eyes widen at the very sight. It looks so delicious...and it smells like heaven! How long has it been since she got to eat someone else's home cooking?]

Ohhhh...th-thank you!

[She's completely starstruck. No arguments from her about the alcohol as she picks up the chopsticks.]

Water or tea, please! I brought you and Aizawa-sensei some bread too... Itadakimasu!

[She bites down, and closes her eyes with a look of pure bliss.]

Uwaaaahhh! It's delicious! A surprise talent!

[Horfhorfhorf.]

[hot_handed]

It's not like cooking's ha--

Bread?

[He looms over her against the counter.]

Where?!

[fairysoul]

[Mavis waves at Orihime as she notices her.]

Hi, Orihime! What a nice surprise!

Are you going to be attending Mr Aizawa's classes too?

[leekspins]

Some of them!

[Orihime hurries toward Mavis, bag of bread in tow.]

I won't be able to do it full time, since I'm still putting in hours at the bakery and making deputy patrols, but I plan to show up whenever I can!

[She holds the bag out.]

It's going to get much livelier around here, isn't it?

[Who could she possibly be referring to.]

[fairysoul]

You wish to become a hero too, them? I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

[Mavis finally notices the bag of bread. She claps her hand happily and then reaches out for it.] Oh? Did you bring this for us? That's very nice of you!

...Are there cakes in the bag too?

[Hopeful Mavis is hopeful.

A soft chuckle and a nod.] It's going to feel just like home!

[fashionably_strong]

[Since Bulla's not moving in here, she's shown up later simply to meet everyone at Fairy Haven and see where they're supposed to be training. What surprises her is seeing Bakugou there at the bar. It's not surprising that he's helping out - she knows that his pride means he doesn't like feeling indebted to anyone. But she is a bit surprised they've let him serve alcohol.]

Excuse me, bartender...I'll have a whiskey sour, please.

[She's pretty sure he's not going to serve her alcohol, and she's incapable of getting drunk with her metabolism anyway. This is just for teasing her friend.]

[hot_handed]

[He turns to the familiar voice, giving her a shit-eating grin. He knows she's not old enough to drink, and no way in hell is he serving her anything alcoholic. He won't even drink.]

You get juice.

[fashionably_strong]

Pineapple juice, then. And some of whatever it is that you're cooking because that smells delicious.

[She knows that he's a surprisingly good cook, even if he's overly generous with the spice and peppers. One day she'll have to find one of those places that make you sign a waiver to eat their food because it's so spicy.]

Have you gotten all your stuff unpacked?

[mira_strauss]

[This was bound to happen eventually... not as many people were as familiar with how territorial Mirajane could be when it came to her bar here. Not to mention that Bakugou wasn't a traditional member of Fairy Tail, and she hadn't exactly had much time to lay down the ground rules. Still the fact that the two of them hadn't really gotten off to a good start to begin with made it even harder for Mirajane to keep her barely withheld rage in check.]

And just what do you think you're doing behind my bar?!

[She swears, if he scared off any of her customers sparks were really going to fly.]

[hot_handed]

[She can rage all she wants, Bakugou has enough rage to match. He sneers at her, tossing some grilled veggies around in a pan.]

Since when did this bar belong to fucking you?!

[mira_strauss]

Since the day it was built. I've been Fairy Tail's bartender for eleven years and I've never been very happy about letting anyone rummage through my stock, not even Fairy Tail's guild masters.

[Okay, so counting the seven years she was in stasis was sort of cheating, but since she spent nearly every single day of her life tending bar, she wasn't too pleased to see him there.]

Where did you get the vegetables?

[Just so she doesn't have to worry about scolding him even further for stealing her personal stock.]

[sleepingbagsensei]

[After a good long move, and possibly working on classroom and organizing, there is a weird yellow sleeping bag next to the bar counter in the main tavern. Aizawa is snoozing away, for now. He smells the aroma of food, which may wake him up a little sooner. But first... five more mins of sleeping!!]

[hot_handed]

[He's not stupid enough to wake Aizawa up when he's catching some z's, so he just slides a plate next to him for when he wakes. Buta-maki, rice with pickled ginger and a bowl of ramen.]

[sleepingbagsensei]

[Smart Bakugou. Sometime later when no one's looking, the plate is clean and the bowl is empty, while Aizawa was still snoozing. He may wake up later. Maybe.]
