[ 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.

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.

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...!

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.]

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. ]

Well I thought it was just me. Until you called.

[He holds both arms out to help steady Lucy until she can stand on her own again. ]

Sorry. I couldn't help it.

[He was actually genuinely afraid when he woke up and she wasn't there.]

[ She placed her hands against his arms when the world no longer felt like it was spinning around her.]

It's okay. I was worried too, when I woke up and I didn't see anyone else. [ She flashed a grin at hime. ]

Just goes to show not even the Powers that Be would dare separate us, right? [ Because they're partners! ... and uh... ]

Taking that as a signal that she could stand on her own he let his hands fall back by his sides.]

Sorry. I should've probably stayed closer to where I woke up I guess?

[He says sheepishly before laughing at her words.]

Looks that way. Though I've gotta say the lack of snow is definitely a plus here.

[If she somehow doubted he was from Exsilium he had just unintentionally provided her with the confirmation that he indeed did come from there.]

It's all right - we found each other now. Maybe Erza and the others too -

[ She trailed off, suddenly blinking in surprise. ]

Snow...? [ Waaait a second. ] Natsu, do you ... have you heard of a place called Exsilium?

[He blinks innocently at her surprised reaction. Did he say something weird? Nope it's just Lucy being her weird self same as always.]

Yeah. That's where we fell asleep last night after the party.

[And BOY what a party that was.]

[ Fkl HE REMEMBERED THE PARTY TOO. A slight blush surfaced and she mentally choked on her response, for a minute. Then she decided to... not question that any further. He might ask awkward questions. ]

A..ah, I... wasn't sure if you remembered that place. [ Cough. ] I... the last thing I remember was .. the Transporter must have sent me back home for a while, before bringing me here, in the middle of the night.

[ A frown. ] But I don't remember the Initiative saying anything about sending us to another world without consent or anything. When we were evacuated to the moon they at least gave us some notice.

[Now it's his turn to be surprised and a little afraid to boot.]

You were sent home?! How far?

[He frowns at the mention of the transporter and the lack of warning.]

Maybe it broke somehow and threw us here?

[ Lucy was silent a moment, because she remembered what Natsu told her, and he hadn't told her about her future self's fate. Not that she hadn't found out anyway, but living through it was ten times worse. ]

We declared war on Tataros. Happy, Wendy, you and I were going to one of the ex councilor's houses. The one you told me about, where Jackal appeared. But before he showed up, I wound up here.

[ She looked thoughtful a moment. ]

That's possible.. if that's the case, then maybe Levy-chan and Erza are here somewhere too. ... and Zeref. [ She was a little torn on that. He was a friend but.. ]

[He never intended to make her live through that but now she likely knew why he was much more attached to her presence than before.]

So almost to where I'm from huh. Well at least you made it back okay.

[Because he's still worried about what happens after he got taken out.]

[His expression sours a little bit at the mention of Zeref given that his creations put Laxus in the sickbay poisoned while also killing lots of innocent people.]

Yeah I'm sure they will. In the meantime we should have a look around, get our bearings.

[ She certainly did. And she shared the feelings from her future self, naturally - going so far to keep him and the rest of her friends from dying. But especially him. ]

Yeah, although ... [ She was worried about the others. Laxus, and not to mention how they were going to defeat Jackal. She shook her head; they always came out on top, one way or the other, now was no different. ]

You're right. [ She smiled again. ] Here, look.

[ After a second, she punched up the map on the videophone. ] This place looks like it might be even bigger than Exsilium was..

[ And WAY sunnier, which she certainly liked. ]

[He never knew what Lucy read in that journal. How could he when it faded away with the destruction of the Eclipse gate? But it didn't matter. It was better to not know too much of the future. They could write it themselves. A brighter and happier future.]

[He sidled closer when Lucy called him over and looked at the map.]

Woah. Four cities?! That's way bigger alright!

[ Lucy grinned, nodding. ] And who knows how much bigger the cities themselves are.

[ But if it's considered city size, it's pretty big, more than likely. ]

Which way do you want to go?

Edited 2014-01-12 19:39 (UTC)

That would be awesome.

[He looks at the map again and taps his chin in thought.]

What about this one here?

[Points to the one that starts with Fa.]

This one sounds interesting. Lets start with that.

[ Snerk. Well it would certainly give them all plenty of places to explore, and exploration was always fun. ]

Fayren.. sounds good to me! So it's.. this way. [ And lo she set out! Though she kept an alert gaze out for a particular redhead or bluenette. Until a thought suddenly occurred to her. ]

.. you don't think they're still back there, do you?

[Adventures and exploration go hand in hand after all.]

Sweet!

[He follows after Lucy while taking in the surroundings. This place certainly looked much nicer than Exsilium.]

Back in the other world? I don't know really. All we can do is hope they show up soon.

[Though he's not as eager to see Zeref. Who knows maybe not that he's left that world he will start pestering Natsu to kill him again.]

[ Indeed they do. She glances up at the sky every now and again as she walks, because aside for back home it's /glorious/ to see the sky and it not be full of snow or rain or overcast gloomy clouds. ]

Yeah. Really they may not even be back there - they could be back home too. [ She studied the map again, thoughtful. ]

Compared to Exsilium though, this place is really beautiful. [ Absently she reached up to the necklace with the green stones around her neck, her hand stilling at the realization that the necklace she'd been given back in Exsilium was gone. She glanced towards Natsu, in particular his hands, but she didn't see the gauntlets either. ]

I guess our belongings back there didn't carry over either. [ That was a shame too; he put so much thought into her gifts. ]

[Yeah feeling the sun in their face is certainly comforting to say the least. Even so Natsu has thoughts of his own and he notices how light his hands feel. In a way they also feel a little cold. Which makes no sense really given his internal temperature at all times. But he'd grown used to having those gauntlets with him all the time they were like part of him. And now that part was gone. He shook his head and frowned when Lucy decided to voice that train of thought.]

Yeah. Your gifts and everything I gathered since we got to Exsilium...

[ Just like LUcy grew used to having that necklace around her neck. Even though she had a new necklace now, it felt naked without the one he gave her. ]

But I still remember them.

[ And the memory of it was just as good? Maybe? ]

Even though the memories we made back there aren't here - [ She coughs slightly, remembering a memory in particular ]

it doesn't mean we can't make more. [ she continues after clearing her throat a little. ]

Yeah. Me too.

[He's going to miss his tiny dragon head pets but oh well. No point complaining about that now.]

Making more memories huh? I guess that's a good point.

[Luckily he still has the memories that count including ones that would make Lucy's face go red all the way to her ears.]

We just need to figure out where we stand in this place first.

[ Y-yeah it's the memories that would make her turn red that are the problem! Well.. not a problem per se, but it would certainly make her flustered to speechlessness. Don't bring it up Natsu! ]

Right. While we're looking around, we should see if we can find a place to stay even if it's only for a little while. Especially if Erza and Levy show up. [ Let alone anyone else. ]

There's one of the archways now. I think that's the one that goes to Fayren.

[No worries. THey would make more of that nature for sure. Especially given that Natsu found he quite liked the feeling of kissing Lucy and her kissing back.]

Yeah we'll need a house for a while. I'm still staying with you though, right?

[Yes that is important.]

Woah this thing's huuuuge!
