( action in genessia ) : ( video ) DRIP.

[rainclouds]

( when the video transmission tunes in, there's one very deflated looking blue-haried woman looking down at it... ) H-How is it that Juvia has woken up here? The Grand Magic games were just about to begin, and Juvia cannot miss Gray-sama in action! ( the information from the communication device was helpful, sure, but it also left her with a lot of questions...

there' a sigh -- ) Hello, is this working? Gray-sama, can you hear me? Juvia never meant to abandon you! Oooh how could this happen, how could we be separated so suddenly...!

Is-- is anyone there?

[ Video ] Oh boy XD

[celestial_wizard]

[ ...Grand Magic Games? Ohhhhhhhhboy. ]

Juvia...?

:3c

[rainclouds]

L-Lucy! So you have woken up here as well? Is it true what the device has said? Juvia... Juvia is in another world?

[celestial_wizard]

Y-yeah, there's...actually a couple of us here. Master Mavis and Erza have been here for a while, though supposedly Natsu and I were here before them once already. And we got brought back again for whatever reason--

And shortly after we arrived, Wendy and Levy also showed up. This place... I think it's kind of like how we were transported to Edolas, though I doubt an Anima was used. And time doesn't seem to pass back in Earthland while we're here.

[ Although Lucy and Natsu were both a year older than everyone else. That...might make things awkward.. ]

You mentioned the Grand Magic Games - Are you alright?

[rainclouds]

Juvia is all right, yes. ( ah! so the others are here, too! that means that gray-sama is probably safe and with them too! suddenly all of that otherworldly stuff doesn't seem so bad... again. ) And many of the others are here as well, Juvia is relieved. ( even master mavis! )

But is there... really no way back to Earthland?

[celestial_wizard]

So far we haven't found a way back, no. Natsu and I have been here a little over a month already. You're still in the Bay right? The place where you woke up?

[spacedragonmonk]

I'm here. Sup chummer?
[TACT!]

video.

[rainclouds]

Chummer...

No, this is Juvia...

video.

[spacedragonmonk]

And this is Adeline. Sup?

[rainclouds]

Adeline... What a strange place... Juvia is still unsure who Chummer is, but it is... nice to meet you.

[Video]

[skilledwithwords]

I'm sure Gray is fine.

[She smiles at the screen knowing that Juvia would be more worried with that then where she is.]

It's good to see you Juvia [Levy doesn't have a recollection of the Grand Magic Games but she knows what Lucy had told her which means that Juvia is from a time after her.]

[rainclouds]

Ah, Levy. Juvia... is sure Gray-sama will be more fine once we are reunited! Juvia did not intend to leave his side.

( that's enough to get her muttering just low enough that the microphone picks up words like 'punishment' and 'restitution' before she faces the camera fully again. )

Lucy has told Juvia that most of the guild members are staying in Fayren, has Levy decided to stay there as well?

[skilledwithwords]

For now. I only arrived a week or so ago. I'm still getting used to it.

[Juvia might see books behind levy on the screen.]

I've been spending a lot of time in the library.

[rainclouds]

( there's a small smile at that, as the comfort that some things never change isn't lost on juvia. )

It will take some getting used to but... if everyone is together, then that's more than Juvia could have hoped for. In that case, Juvia will head for Fayren, too!

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

[Well isn't that a familiar face. She looks better than the last time he saw her though that's to be expected if she's talking about the Grand Magic games. Oh well. One more guild member was never unwelcome.]

Yo Juvia! I see this place dragged you in too huh?

[rainclouds]

Natsu! It is good to see you're all right. It was a very sudden arrival, though Juvia feels as though she has been sleeping for some time...

( she rubs at her eyes with a free hand )

[explodewiththerage]

Yeah it's like that after you wake up in here. Don't worry it'll get better in no time.

[Speaking from experience here but that's really irrelevant right now.]

Anyways there should've been some pamphlet kind of thing on you when you woke up. You should probably read that first. If Lucy didn't get in touch with you already, I mean.

[rainclouds]

Juvia has spoken with her, yes. Lucy and Natsu must be staying together, right? ( gray is probably somewhere near as well, in that case! you can never trust a love rival in these situations...! ) Is that in Fayren? Juvia will make her way over there.

[video]

[vernier]

Oh... Juvia-san?

[First Levy came from an earlier point in time, and now Juvia. That aside—]

Gray-san isn't here... At least not that I know of. [Better to break the news to her now then have her find out later...]

( video )

[rainclouds]

Wendy. ( there's a smile during that brief pause, which quickly changed to a look of horror as juvia's hands went to her face... )

Did you say...! Gray-sama! He isn't...!

( juvia drops the videophone to the ground, collapsing to her knees in grandiose fashion with her palms upturned ) It can't be true, Gray-samaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[video]

[vernier]

It's possible Gray-san arrived sometime before you did and just hasn't tried using the device yet.

[An unlikely scenario, but you never know.]

If he isn't here, it's possible he'll arrive soon. A handful of people from the guild have ended up in Genessia over these past couple of months. [She takes a moment to think.] Levy-san arrived two weeks before you did, and I ended up here two weeks before her. [Two weeks is probably too much for Juvia, though...] Natsu-san and Lucy-san arrived at the same time. [Sighs.] Unfortunately, it's impossible to know exactly when someone will arrive or leave from here.

[rainclouds]

( huge tears wendy. in fact, the level of the bay might be rising ever so steadily as she bawls comically, muttering for a good few minutes with the words 'gray-sama' 'punishment' and 'unforgiveable' are repeated...

and she finally motions to wipe at her eyes with her sleeve... ) Juvia... Juvia is sure he will come...! Gray-sama... he'll be here one day, definitely!

video;

[graduations]

I haven't heard of anyone called Gray here yet.. but he might show up eventually. Sometimes people from different worlds show up at staggered times, after all! I'm sure you won't have to worry about Gray-san thinking he abandoned you, though.

[ Yui offers a kind smile; an attempt to comfort. ]

[rainclouds]

( there is a lot of sniffling going on on her end... in fact, a steady flow of tears seems to be pouring down poor juvia's face... )

It seems... ( hic ) It seems Gray-sama is not here, just as you say... BUT JUVIA WILL WAIT FOR YOU, GRAY-SAMA! NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES! B-but... Juvia still hopes he comes soon...!

[graduations]

[ Oh... Okay. Yui looks a little uncertain for a few seconds. This is way more dramatic than she was thinking it would be. Still, she can tell this person needs comfort and is just missing someone important to her. ]

You'll have to be strong for him until then, alright, Juvia-san?

[rainclouds]

( eventually juvia was reduced to only loud, exaggerating sniffs again, wiping away at her tears ) Yes, of course, you're right, Juvia will...

Ah... I'm sorry... ( she seems to be a little more back on earth now that that's out of the way -- ) What... did you say your name was?
