[ 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. ]

[ 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.

[ In spite of herself, Lucy had to listen because secrets. She does love them. Though she was a little concerned about this emperor of his. ]

Crazy...? W.. in what way?

[ Wearing underpants on the head crazy or worse? ]

Well, you know how I said that Espers were the creation of the gods for a war of theirs? Well, legend has it that they got tired of their war, released the Espers from their servitude and turned themselves into stone, forming a triad of balance. One keeping another's power in check, and so on.

My Emperor thinks that he can harness their power to bring the world under one banner. Kinda bonkers sounding, huh?

[celestial_wizard]

So these Gods got tired of the war but the Emperor wanted to use the Espers anyway? .. probably not even with their consent - she couldn't imagine that the Espers would want to fight after years of bloodshed. She could be wrong though. "... Yes, it's completely 'bonkers'..!"

[Kefka just takes to floating on his back as if lounging on some invisible sofa.]

I mean, even if he knew where the Esper homeland was, and how to awaken the Floating Continent, brave the beasts that live there, and get to the Triad itself, it's not like he could harness their power. He hasn't been infused.

[ You know - she just has a really bad feeling about this entire conversation. It might be the nonchalant way he was telling her about this war and the espers and everything, but .. that last comment.. ]

You... dont' say.

[ He was infused. Was he seriously saying what she thought he was saying? ... TIME TO GO, LUCY. ]
