[ Action ]
[ On waking in the pod, Lucy was admittedly very.. disoriented. It wasn't her apartment back home OR in that other world she'd been in for a year. MOreover, Natsu wasn't with her like usual. Or Levy, or Erza. But maybe they'd gone to scout ahead? ]

[ No, she was sure Natsu would have waited. After looking over the items left with her and familiarizing herself with the new equipment (thankfully she was familiar enough with a thing like that so it didn't take long for her to understand), she slipped out of the pod, searching around the Bay first, before heading out to the city.

Boy did she hope her friends were here somewhere. One can find Lucy exploring/scouting around not far from the Bay, her videophone in hand. ]

[ Video ]
[ It isn't long after she's digested all the information she was given before she fussed with the videophone enough to turn it on to broadcast a question. ]

Hi - I'm new here, and I'm looking for some friends of mine. I'm not sure if they're here, but they all have the symbol of our guild on their body - it looks like this. Though it isn't always on the hand. But if you see anyone with a tattoo matching that description, please let me know. My name is Lucy; Lucy Heartfilia, from Fairy Tail.

[He'd woken up first with a jump, startled to not find himself in Lucy's comfortable bed back in the cabin in the world he and a few others had been taken to. Needless to say his pod suffered a bit of damage as he jumped out quickly scanning his surroundings and realizing with dawning horror that this was not the same place. So the first thing he did was run out of the place, sniffing the air like a bloodhound and earning quite a few odd looks.]

[That was until the device he'd found on waking, sparked to life with a familiar voice. Thanks to his time in that other world he wasn't as technologically inept so he had no problems replying to the call.]

Lucy? Lucy they brought you here too? Where are you?!

[celestial_wizard]

[ And she stopped short at the first response over the videophone. ]

Natsu!?

[ Thank everything she hadn't been sent somewhere else and left him behind. She remembered how he reacted the last time she went home. ]

I'm here too - I haven't seen Levy-chan or Erza yet though. Are you still near that bay? I'm not far, I'm turning around.

[ Turning to quickly trot back the way she came. ]

[explodewiththerage]

The bay? Okay I'll head to the entrance and meet you there.

[Honestly the relief he showed was merely a flicker compared to how it was on the inside.]

That's a relief.

[He sighs as he rushes over.]

They're not with you? Hmmm Well I've been out for half an hour now so they should show up if you did.

[celestial_wizard]

Okay, I'll be there soon.

[ Excellent, a meeting point. It's easy enough to find her way back - she'd gone in a straight line, after all. Oddly it didn't occur to her that he might not remember Exsilium. The last thing she remembered was the party -- and then she supposed the transporter sent them home and... somehow she wound up in a new place after that. ]

I thought if you all were here too, you might have been scouting around to figure out how we all ended up here.

[ And when she drew near the Bay and saw him waiting, her heart skipped a beat. ]

Natsu...!

[explodewiththerage]

Yeah I went looking around. This place is totally not where we should be! I couldn't pick up anyone else's scent so far though...

[But that tone quickly changes as he spots Lucy approaching.]

Lucy!

[He runs up to her and spins her in a hug of relief before setting her down on her feet again probably leaving her a bit more dizzy than intended.]

Action

[celestial_wizard]

I know... [ She sighs faintly. ] Do you think it's just us..?

EEP!

[ She doesn't have time to think about that possibility when Natsu is abruptly scooping her up and swinging her around in a hug, causing her to drop her videophone in surprise. She laughs, wrapping her arms around him in the hug. When he put her down again, she stumbled a little, because yep, that was really dizzying. ]

Haha, Natsu, jeez..!

[ For as chiding as she sounded though, she was just really happy. ]

[warring_triad]

[Kefka had been relatively quiet since coming to this place. He'd mainly been studying, waiting for something to come along that was worthy of his attention to announce his presence. That's when he noticed something. Something... magical. After making his way toward the Bay, he sees her. Pure, powerful, naive. If it weren't for her physical appearance, he might've thought she was his favorite plaything. He floats down, just hovering over here for a moment, examining, before making a comment.]

You seem lost~

Oh dear :D

[celestial_wizard]

[ Hey, Lucy is no one's plaything! And... this guy is floating. Obviously this is some kind of magic, but his makeup was kinda of...odd. Startling at his particular manner of arrival, she blinked, before venturing a hesitant smile. O K A Y ... ]

Well, I guess you could say that. I just arrived in this town this morning. I was hoping to find one of my friends - I don't suppose you've seen anyone with this marking anywhere?

[ She held up the back of her right hand. ]

Yes, it begins~

[warring_triad]

[No, Lucy is definitely not Terra. That's not to say he can't have fun with her. ...Even if she isn't half-Esper.]

[He floats downward, getting a little... too close to her hand before shrugging and floating back.]

Can't say I've seen it anywhere, no. What does it mean, if I might ask~?

Fffff XD

[celestial_wizard]

[ H.. hey you're getting a little close there, buddy. Look with your eyes! ]

It identifies members of the guild my friends and I are from back home, and symbolizes the bonds we share with each other.

[ With a soft smile, she drew her hand back, though the smile faded a little. ]

So you haven't seen them... still, according to the map this is a pretty big place. They could still be here somewhere.

|3

[warring_triad]

I see, I see...

[He taps his chin in mock thought for a moment, taking a seated position as he floats.]

Are all your friends mages, then?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Well there's no harm in answering that, he'd probably be able to figure it out for himself anyway. And it's not something she would ever hide. ]

Yes, that's right . .. you're one too, aren't you? Floating like that and all.

Action!

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Look out Lucy! There's a girl in a red hood about to literally run into you. She's kind of focused on some other things, like worrying about her lost sister to pay attention to where she's going right now.]

Action!

[celestial_wizard]

[ DoobeedoobeedoOHGODINCOMINGRUBY *WHAMM!!* and Lucy tumbles over stumbles, pinwheeling her arms for balance. ]

EEP!!!

[onecream_fivesugar]

[And Ruby stumble and crashes to the ground. Give her a second to shake off the dizziness and figure out what the heck just happened.]

What the heck just happened?

[Or she'll just ask.

Oh wait, she just figured it out.]

Oh no, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy is disoriented from being knocked on her keister too, at first. The hasty apologies heard though, get her attention next, and Lucy blinks at Ruby first, before raising both hands placatingly. ]

Ahah - it's okay, it's okay. Are you hurt? [ She got to her feet, reaching out to help Ruby up in turn. ]

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Ruby will take Lucy's hand and pull herself up to her feet.]

Y-yeah, I'm fine, A little dazed but that's all.

...Are you new around here?

[aero_sage]

[Ah, another human cast into this world. She seems to be a very pleasant human at that.]

I have not seen a mark matching what you have shown, but I shall alert you at once if I do.

I am General Harpuia. You have my welcome.

[Video]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy for a moment looks a bit discouraged, but she bolsters herself again, smiling. ]

I see... well.. I expect to see them here sometime, or at least I hope, so I appreciate the notice if you see them. And thank you very much for your welcome!

You said you're a General? There isn't a war going on here is there? [ Of course a being a General didn't necessarily MEAN there was one, but better safe than sorry. ]

[Video]

[aero_sage]

A war?

[He tilts his head, his chin in his hand.]

No, I would not call it as such, though there are conflicts to be found within this realm. I carry the title of 'general' from my previous location.

[Even if, technically, he was stripped of his rank.]

[Text] Speak of the devil

[jim_fixes_it]

I haven't seen it but I will certainly be keeping an eye out for it from now on.

- M

[Text] Aw nutbunnies D:.. I mean hi ;D;;

[celestial_wizard]

[ ... M? She hesitates a moment, before responding. ]

Oh? I appreciate it... [ I think. ] Of course I'll be keeping a close eye out for them too - these videophones are pretty convenient for that.

[Text] Hiiiiiiiii

[jim_fixes_it]

It's my pleasure.



I think you'll find they're convenient for a good many things.

[Text] :3;

[celestial_wizard]

You sound like you've been here for a while... or you're just familiar enough with this kind of equipment?

[Text]

[jim_fixes_it]

Both, as a matter of fact.
