(Backdated to the 14th) Video/Action/ Open to All

[ Video ]
[ Sometimes, you just have to take a break from the battles to goof off. Lucy was puttering about in her room, folding up a pair of cloaks and taking another one off its hook, draping the navy fabric over her shoulder. With Natsu out of the room at the moment - probably getting a shower or something, Lucy grinned into the video feed. ]

Hey, if you're seeing this, I need you to do me a favor if you wouldn't mind; if my partner Natsu is looking for me, don't tell him where I am. [ A giggle. ] That's cheating!

[ She winked at the feed with a grin. leaving that open to guildmates and others, Lucy left the message there. Well he probably won't need it anyway - dragonslayer senses and all that, but there was a chance he'd run into someone anyway, whether or not they were from the guild. ]

[ Action ]
[ Feed finished, Lucy proceeded to summon Gemini into the room. ]

It's been a while, you two - you know what to do, right?

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Lucy?"

[ Gem and Mini weren't so sure - but it had potential for hilarity and backfiring messily, so they could easily get behind that. And after one POOF, the spirit had taken the form of a towel-clad Lucy. Lucy immediately pointed them to get dressed in one of her outfits because like fun was she letting them walk around outside like THAT.

Minutes later, she was ducking out of the shared apartment, only leaving a note behind on the door reading: 'Bet you can't find me~~! <3' ... she was so going to get the jump on him this time! She wrapped herself up in the invisibility cloak she gained, immediately vanishing from sight and sprinted out of the apartment building with Gemini quick to follow behind and ready to throw off Lucy's trail. Though Lucy might bump into others along the way - literally in some cases. ]

[ OOC: Feel free to meet and say hi to Lucy, in other words :3 ]

[The moment he enterst their room, his eyes pick up on the source of Lucy's scent which just so happened to be close by to the note on the table. A bet. No a challenge of his own abilities. was that how she wanted to play this little game then.]

Hmph hide and seek or Tag. Either way I'll definitely track you down Lucy~

[With that he quickly bolts in the direction the scent is taking him to.]

[ Perhaps a little of both! She and Gemini had to really hustle to put some distance between the two of them, though Gemini deliberately let herself be seen by various people they passed. Since Lucy had used an apple scented shampoo the other night, she'd bought a small bottle of apple-scented perfume that Gemini spritzed into the air to see if it would throw him off any, the two splitting up along the way. Gemini started into town, while Lucy made her way towards the forest, startling little bunnies that hadn't seen her coming. She had to think of a good way to ambush the dragonslayer though! Hrm! ]

[It was rather hard to miss the fact that there were two sets of scents smelling of apples. Even so he wound up first following the one belonging to Gemini, eventually catching up to the girl.]

There you are!

[ Gemini-Lucy squeaked, nearly leaping off the ground when she heard Natsu's voice behind her, pivoting quickly. ]

WAUGH! O-oh! Ha ha Natsu -- so ... you found me! I guess you win after all! [ Jeez, she didn't think he'd catch up so quick!

Meanwhile on the True Lucy route, she decided a great way to get the drop on her partner was...to..dig a pit... well it worked on someone at some point! Covering up the pit with sticks and leaves, she trotted further into the forest with a mischievous chuckle, looking around for a vantage point she could watch him from safely. Even with the inviso-cloak on. ]

[He stops a short ways away and narrows his eyes.]

I win? You give up awfully easy...

[And then he sniffed in her direction.]

[ Gemini-Lucy smiled nervously. ]

Y-yeah! I mean you caught up so quick and I didn't even get a chance to hide or anything so u-um... [ ACK, no sniffing! She fumbles for the apple perfume bottle and spritzes it at him! Hopefully before he catches on that she wasn't the real Lucy who hopefully has managed to finish laying her totally not obvious trap and hide! ]

[Right before he's doused and pretty much borderline sprayed wiht the scent, there is a flicker of realization in his eyes. Sadly now he's stuck coughing.]

What the hell?! You're not- hack -Lucy!

[ Oops. Sorry about that buddy - it'll pass, no worries! Uh... well Gemini thinks so anyway. ]

Wha? O-Of course I'm Lucy! Haha, who else would I be?

[ She starts scooting backwards though - her cover's blown anyway! She didn't think she'd be able to convince him of being his beloved partner any. ]

That scent before you ahghaa sprayed me. I know that scent. You're Gemini!

[Natsu growls and considers using fire to burn away that stinging sensation left over from the perfume.]

Ah --- nuts, I guess I can't fool your nose then. [ hrmm. She grinned. ] But you won't catch the real Lucy as easily!

Oh you think so do you?! Just you wait. All three of ya. I'll track you down in no time!

[And with that he wraps his body in flames purging the perfume around him.]

[ Gemini-Lucy giggles. ]

That's some confidence! Welp, I guess I'd better head back to Lucy and let her know you caught on quicker than we thought. Though I told her the 'trick' wouldn't last long. 'Just long enough' she said.

[ Mutter grumble - but as Natsu purged the scent of perfume, Gemini quickly desummoned herself, the bottle of perfume clattering to the ground in her absence. ZOOM. ]

[He growls as the two spirits go back to their master. Natsu didn't need Lucy's scent since he was already very acquainted to it.]

So this is your game is it. Alright you're on!

[He quickly dashes back to Lucy's apartment and this time follows the other trail of her scent.

[ AND LO, Lucy would lie in wait for him, scrambling between a large rock and a tree, tightening her grip on her cloak so she could keep herself hidden. Muhaha. From that vantage point, she'd be able to see him coming, and if he charged in like normal he'd fall right into her waiting pit. YEP THERE IS NO WAY THIS COULD BACKFIRE ON HER.

Pausing as she felt the energy in Gemini's return with the spirit whispering to her through the key, Lucy stifled a soft giggle, a hand against it. ]

Good job Gemini - and don't worry, I didn't think you'd fool him for long anyway. Now shh, I don't want him to find me when he gets close. [ It was silly and juvenile, but she couldn't help but feel a bit of a rush waiting for him to track her down. ]

[Tracking her scent back from her apartment was just as easy as he expected now that he had checked the alternative route off of the list. Sadly for Lucy, he didn't just bullrush onto the scene instead walking up slowly, sniffing the air all around him.]

Lucy I know you're here somewhere~

[ Perhaps TOO easy, now that Gemini wasn't about to throw him off the trail - or try anyway. She froze when she saw him approach slower than she expected, 'tch'ing softly. ... Then immediately covering her mouth. ACK he probably heard that. WELL. Hearing doesn't mean catching~! She got ready to move - maybe she could still trick him into falling into that pit! ...eh... actually she'd probably end up falling in it herself. ]

I heard that.

[well there's her proof that she wasn't doing a good job at keeping herself completely quiet. Though to be fair Natsu suspected foul play given Lucy was going out of her way to stay hidden despite his senses.]

[ She stifled a soft giggle, but she refused to come out of hiding. She was gonna make him work for his capture damnit. Even though she wasn't a mermaid anymore. She was ..A FOX. A sly fox. ~~No, wait.~~ Reaching down to nab a rock quietly, she started to lean out, tossing the rock in the opposite direction from where she was. Just a distraction that she hoped would make him turn, since she was going to sneak out of hiding at that point, creeping quietly up on him. Sure he can smell her coming but the game would only end when he caught her right? ... well ... maybe. ]

Natsu had a pretty good idea where she was but this was more of a game or a challenge and ending it like that would be boring. As for catching her...well he was likely much faster than Lucy.]

Hm?! A rock?

[The clattering sound identified it as such. That being said he looked at the place of the sound regardless. That was about the closest thing to an opening as she was going to get. As long as she remembered that the trap was behind him where she was aiming to move to in the first place most likely]

[ AN OPENING! YES. Lucy did remember that the trap was behind him, so if she gave him a little push... - well it wasn't deep or anything, and he could jump right out if he wanted to. The point was being able to dump him into a pit in the first place. So while he was momentarily glancing towards the rock, she hopped out of hiding, aiming to give him a push as hard as she can manage because she knew full well if he didn't want to move, she couldn't make him. But if she caught him by surprise... ]

[Providing he let her push her and just didn't shift his posture a little to allow Lucy to go by him with the minimal amount of force. Which was exactly what he did the moment he felt her presence and scent dangerously close.]

[ CHEATER! Although she supposed she should have expected that. ]

Wha--

[ OHCRAP. Unable to stop her momentum in time, she teetered precariously over the pit, arms pinwheeling. ]

EEYEEEK!!

[ She grabbed for her whip - maybe she could still save herself and get the whip to snap around one of the tree branches before she fell in -!! Or she could catch herself on the edge of the pit and keep from falling - that was a possibility too~ ]

[Or the special option. Having Natsu's arm looped around her waist and get pulled back from the brink. Kind of like what just happened.]

You tried~

[ That IS a special option. One she wouldn't mind staying in. BUT she wouldn't let him win so easily! ... yeah. ]

It's...it's not over yet! [ Or it is and she just won't own up to it, but she squirms in his grip, trying to get free! ]

[ANd just how is she going to win while one arm is securely holding her by the waist. Natsu smirked faintly knowing he had her.]

Oh isn't it?
