1st Star | Action

[celestial_wizard]

[ When Lucy went to sleep last night, dreaming of her friends, she didn't expect to wake up in an entirely new world. She also didn't expect to see the friend she wanted to see most of all, to have been brought to that same world with her. But... she couldn't help but smile. It was amazing how much brighter you could view a situation when you knew you weren't alone anymore. Sure, she was trapped on another world - but that's happened before. More importantly, someone she hadn't seen in a year, who she never stopped thinking about, was with her. She turned her attention back to the pamphlet, musing to her companion. Once they were settled somewhere she'd... she shook her head, focusing. ]

So it looks like the first thing we should do is find a place to stay - and a job. That shouldn't be so hard. Maybe... and maybe we'll be able to get some information about this Genessia from the locals too.

[ Since Fairy Tail was disbanded, and they couldn't expect it to be here won't they be surprised when they go to Fayren and see the branch there~! ]

[ OOC: Introing like a boss! Also there may be threadjackings, since Natsu will be with her. :3 Anyone who may have known Lucy back when she was here before, feel free to still remember her, though she'll look different now and won't remember them. ]

[explodewiththerage]

After being transported back and forth between worlds on multiple occasions, Natsu had started taking the transition better with each repetition. However his arrival to Genessia had two advantages from the one in the previous world. One was that he was close to Lucy from the start meaning he found her as soon as he was out of the pod. The other was sweet sweet terra firma. AFter being forced to live on a giant airship while traveling the alien world in search for a way back to Earthland, it was so good to have solid ground under his feet.

That being said there were some differences. What had happened not too long ago had happened yet again before he woke here. He had new memories from Earthland. Ones that involved him tracking down Gray to stop future Rogue's warning from coming true. As it turned out Gray had not been corrupted and after reuniting the whole team for the first time in over a year, they had taken the fight to Avatar. Only for Natsu to suddenly wake up in the pod. But rather than tell Lucy about these things, he decided to keep it in until they were settled properly.

"Yeah finding a job shouldn't be too hard for us." We're both stronger than ever!" Natsu pointed out with a proud puff of his chest.

[celestial_wizard]

She'd have to agree on both of those advantages. Although it seemed he knew more than she did about things back home, she'd learn that later when they had a moment to take in the full scope of what happened. Also, as interesting as it was traveling on an airship, being on the ground was her preferred place to be.

She chuckled at Natsu's boast - but she knew it wasn't just bragging, she could sense that his power had gotten a LOT stronger. "That's true," she agreed with a chuckle, "Especially you, Natsu. You must have done a lot of training in the past year."

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi had started visiting the bay again. With the memory-stars gone it was safe. At least, as far as she knew. She was sitting on the edge, dressed in her usual yellow and green. She had removed her shoes and was currently splashing her feet in the water. She paused as a sound met her ears, looking up, blinking and tilting her head.

She felt a vague recollection. A mind that she was familiar with but was, at the same time, distant. Someone she had not seen for a long time. But still, it was someone she remembered. And that was more than she could say for a lot of people.

Floating up, she shook off her feet, grabbing her shoes and socks and slipping them on. She took a moment to fiddle with the heart clips, making sure they properly secured the arteries before drifting forward to investigate...

Its not likely Lucy would see Koishi before the little youkai impacted her in a tight and very sudden hug, complete with multiple blue tendrils winding around her several times. Without prior memories of Koishi or exceptional observational skills she was nearly invisible after all.

"HELLO MISS!" She was nearly shouting, her voice echoing around the bay. "Hello hello hello! I remember you now! I missed you so much!" In an instant Lucy's feet had left the water, the tiny youkai lifting her into the air and spinning around a few times, laughing. "Its been months! Moooonths! I was afraid you weren't coming baaaaaack!"

[explodewiththerage]

"Heh speak for yourself. That Taurus outfit of yours looked pretty strong too." Natsu pointed out with a big happy grin before Lucy was suddenly captured by what sounded like a little girl.

"Hey?! What are you doing with Lucy?!" After the close shave with the torture guy he might be a little bit overprotective of his partner. Just a little bit more than usual anyway.

[what_is_a_man]

[There was a wolf laying in the nearby shade, watching The Bay today. One that didn't look like a normal wolf - or smell like one either. The wolf was jet black with red tints at the tip of its hair around its neck, almost making it look like it was wearing a coat with red lining. As soon as Lucy stepped out of The Bay and into its line of sight, the wolf's ears perked up.]

[Blond... busty... pure of heart... Dracula's favorite flavor of blood. For now, the wolf will stick to his shade, but will follow from the shadows as she and Natsu move about.]

[explodewiththerage]

[Natsu caught the unusual scent first given his Dragon Slayer senses and for some reason he couldn't help but be on his guard because of that. So much so that he was blatantly ignoring Lucy's words at the time, instead scanning the surroundings with his eyes to get a bearing on where the source of that unsettling scent came from.]

[celestial_wizard]

It looks like there are bounties we can take too, and they vary in pay - so it's not that different from...Earthland...

[ He's totally not listening. And... the skin on the back of her neck was prickling like someone was watching. She glanced around, and then looked towards Natsu. ]

...maybe we should get off of the street. [ Before someone thought they were green and easy targets. ]

[fairy_tail_knight]

Lucy!? [Erza's mouth is perhaps a little wider than it would normally be, upon seeing her friend. Other than that, however, she's the same Erza Lucy would remember. It had been much less than a year, by her count.

Armor glistening in the light. There's a sword in her hand - the fingers lightly loosened, but still tightly gripping the blade, even in her shock. She had been planning to get a little training in.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ It had been exactly a year by Lucy's - at least if they were going by how long it had been back home. She stopped short hearing her name, blinking in shock. ]

Erza...? [ Turning to her partner, she put a hand on his arm to get his attention. Even though he probably smelled Erza well before Lucy saw her, or Erza even said anything. ]

Natsu look~!

[explodewiththerage]

[It had been technically a year for Natsu as well before he'd heard her voice over the communication Lacryma on their way to stop Avatar. Which kind of threw him for a loop a little when he saw her unchanged before he broke into a big grin.]

Yo Erza! Should've known they'd bring you in too!

[Action]

[spacedragonmonk]

[Adeline wandering about the city was a sight all too common to most people nowadays. Between her job at the Schnee's and her own natural wanderlust, she could often be found traveling about the city on foot, some food on a stick in her mouth and her scales gleaming dully against the light of the cities. But her wanderings were often without purpose, just idle ambling about as she enjoyed the feeling of the cities.

Today however started much the same. Didn't stay that way for long though, not with that scent wafting through the air. It wasn't something her noise had ever picked up before and yet her blood boiled from it, a deep dark part of her very lizardy brain knowing what it was even as the rest of her was clueless.]

[So perhaps Lucy and Natsu will come across this very reptillian woman, sniffing around, idly chewing on some kind of meat on a stick. Maybe they might see her very draconic feature or smell her distinctly dragony scent? But one way or another, it wouldn't matter as she would bump into them. Literally. Girl's real distracted yo.]

Cor! Th' hell'd you two leatherheads pop out in fronta me fer?

[Action]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Pay attention Adeline, gosh! Lucy didn't have Dragonslayer senses so she couldn't smell dragony people, but she could see the scales on her skin. Shiny~! But before she could call out to alert Adeline that she was about to collide with two people, she collided with two people. To Lucy's credit, she didn't stumble, but put a hand out in case the lizard lady was unsteadied. ]

Pop out...? Actually we've been walking this path for a while now. It looks like you were pretty deep in thought, so that's probably why you didn't notice.

[Action]

[explodewiththerage]

And who you callin a leather head!? What the heck is a leather-head anyway?

[Since Lucy took care of the civilized side of the reaction.]

*Quietly slips this girl in, too*

[fairiesinourhearts]

More people with that symbol....

[Zeira is crossing her arms, and staring at the two of them from several feet away. Quite a few feet away, actually. And sort of behind a barrel. But she's still staring, almost glaring, really. That symbol means they're in the guild Mavis made...]

I thought you people had all started leaving.

Listen! Just because you're part of Mavis's guild, doesn't mean I trust you!

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy was chuckling over something she saw in the paper with Natsu when some voice randomly popped up. A little girl? She stared blankly at Zeira, feeling like she was missing out on a hell of a lot of context. ]

Er...

[ She gave Natsu a 'Do you know this girl?' look briefly, and then glanced back to Zeira. ]

... and, uh...who are you?

[explodewiththerage]

[Natsu gave Lucy a "I dunno who she is" kind of shrug.]

You don't trust us? Well we don't trust you. Comin out of the blue like that and saying random things.

[Only for the name she mentioned to finally sink in.]

Wait. You know the First?

[switch_over]

[Setsuna had the day off from both her job as a fortune teller and from her dual life as Eas. At least she hadn't seen a good opportunity to start causing anyone misfortune quite yet.

She was walking down the street with a bag of fresh donuts in hand when she caught sight of Lucy and Natsu walking with the pamphlet in hand. She tilted her head curiously. Newcomers.]

...I take it you just arrived here, correct?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Misfortune was a bad thing missy! Don't do it! She glanced up when Eas addressed her and Natsu, however, and smiled, nodding. ]

Is it that obvious? Eheh - but yes, we just arrived today actually.

[explodewiththerage]

{So many new faces Natsu was gonna have trouble adding nnames to those faces in no time at this rate.]

We're just trying to figure out what t do next. Since apparently goin back is never an easy option.

[He growls to himself that point.]

Fairy Tail disbanded, what a terrible thought... ;;

[fairysoul]

Hey there!

[If they turned towards the voice, they'd found Mavis, sitting on a low wall, smiling and waving enthusiastically at them.]

Good to see you. I take it you were just brought here, weren't you?

Yus~

[celestial_wizard]

[ ... there's another voice she hadn't heard in a very long time. Lucy stopped short, disbelief on her face. ]

Master Mavis... it's good to see you. Though I didn't expect to see you... here~! [ She cast a quick glance at Natsu, and then back to the First, genuinely smiling. It's nice to have some friendly faces after the unfriendly situations they'd been in already! ]

The worst. What were you guys thinkin letting it happen while he was off trainin

[explodewiththerage]

[Natsu quickly grins when he hears that voice and greets the founder of the guilt with a toothy smile.]

Yo First! Fancy seeing you here!

Action;

[ainoakuma]

[Flonne just happened to be around since she just got off of work when she noticed the familiar face. Sorry, Lucy... You're going to have a fallen angel glomp you.]

You're both back! I'm so glad to see you both again.

[Oh man. Now she can tell Lucy about the developments between her and Laharl.]

Re: Action;

[celestial_wizard]

[ Equally sorry Flonne, Lucy has no idea who you are D: But she OOFS~! at that glomp, hugging back a bit awkwardly. However no tentacles accompany the glomp this time, thank god. ]

Ah-- thank you...? [ She steadied herself, glancing over towards Natsu, and then back towards Flonne. ]

Erm.. Sorry but I uh-- who are you?

[ At least this one knew who Natsu was~! ] Natsu, do you recognize her?

permaction

[explodewiththerage]

[So many people just running up to them and claiming to have known them. Or Lucy anyway. Though Flonne does apparently know Natsu so that helps with some small concerns that have been hovering over his head since the previous meeting.]

Nah can't say I do. But she wouldn't be the first person we don't recognize here. That and something tells me she ain't lying.
