(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 ]

[This felt like some kind of reverse deja vu. LIke that one time Lucy turned herself completely invisible. And yet he wasn't moving away from her hand. Heck if she actually managed to find him like that well it was rather impressive. But then something got her attention and distracted her away from the rock. Moment when he hopped off and started circling around to the right with slow cautious steps.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Only this time there wasn't the accidental side effect of being forgotten and not existing - though if it were, Lucy would absolutely remember him, and bring him back the way he had for her. BUT back to hunting. She chuckled faintly at the bunny, then turned back to the rock. ]

It'd be typical if you did hide on the rock here. Ha...! [ She grabbed at the air, only to surprise herself when she encountered... air. Was she wrong? ]

Hrm.... well he definitely wouldn't have left... [ Although that would have been a hi-larious prank. ]

[explodewiththerage]

Nope still here~

[He whispers softly before moving around to the right and out of the way since she's going to investigate it no doubt.]

[celestial_wizard]

YEEP!

[ Lucy jumped, even though she knew to expect him at some point. ]

That's creepy! Don't do that!

[ Hypocrite. She would totally do the same thing if his nose wouldn't give her away! In any case she did automatically pivot towards the sound of his voice, creeping forward herself - like he'd stay in one spot after doing that though. Left or right? Or back more? Augh, tricksy! She turned left! Untentionally moving towards him from the opposite direction, go figure. ]

[explodewiththerage]

[He doesn't answer though she can probably feel how he's chuckling to himself at her expense. With all of the circling around though they have likely lost track of the pitfall trap Lucy made at this point.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ That was an excellent point - Lucy was so focused on finding Natsu that she hadn't even given a spare thought to her trap. She...should have marked it before beginning this silly game. ]

I might not be able to see or hear you but I *know* you're laughing, Natsu...!

[ She could sense it! Because she knew him that well. Hopefully she managed to avoid stepping in her pitfall. Too bad she didn't fill it with water though, she could throw some on him. ]

[explodewiththerage]

[A snort escapes the invisible dragon and he quickly moves away from that position in case Lucy hears it. Sorry but the way she called him out so accurately almost made him burst into laughter.]

[celestial_wizard]

AHA!

[ She heard that! ]

There you are - [ She jumped forward to grab for him, but he was too quick! ] Tch. You're close, I can tell...

[ ... She reached behind her just in case, because it really wouldn't surprise her if he did sneak up behind her. ]

[explodewiththerage]

[He's having a blast and even runs by her back but also blowing faintly in passing against the back of Lucy's neck.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Damnit, there he went! One hand clapped over her neck with a squeak, while the other grabbed at that feeling of someone zooming past her, missing again. With a huff, she trotted off in the direction she felt him move. ]

KYEE!! What do you think you're doing-!

[ That was so weird. Ah, figured he'd get a kick out of teasing her with that cloak - maybe she shouldn't have suggested he wear it. ]

[explodewiththerage]

What's it look like?

[Oh yes that choice of words is intentional since she can't see him. He's also damn fast on his feet.]

[celestial_wizard]

Looks like someone's going to get a kick in the pants when I set my eyes on him again.

[ Lucy mock-grumbled at his taunting. Though every time she thought she pinpointed where he was and grabbed for him, he was dashing off again, and she grinned. ]

Slippery bastard.. Just wait till I get my hands on you! [ She'd... well she doesn't know what she'd do, but it would be revengalicious! ]

[explodewiththerage]

You're welcome to tryy~yyy

[AS if she wouldn't do that same with his skills at her disposal. Nope she definitely would run circles around him too.]

[celestial_wizard]

You're going to have to take that cloak off sooner or la-GH!

[ -SNAP- WHUMP!!! ..would be the sound of a startled Lucy falling into her own damn trap. She will -kill- you if you laugh. At least she didn't hurt herself? ... probably. Well the most she might have done was get a bruise from the landing. Poor baby was already mentally swearing at her carelessness. ]

[explodewiththerage]

[How can she kill someone she can only hear and not see? Well either way he's standing in one spot now as he's laughing heartily.]

You-You okay Lucy~?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Oh she was going to end him. The good thing is that he was staying put and lAUGHING at her, so unless he suddenly moved again, she was climbing out of that trap, only a little dirty as she lunged forward towards the sound of laughter. ]

PEACHY.

[ NOW DIEEEEEEEE -- or not so much die but she's gonna tackle him anyway. Eat leaves? ]

[explodewiththerage]

[Oh yes he expects that coming. Natsu quickly dodges again. only to loop one arm around Lucy's waist, catching her instead.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ ACK! Deja vu - She squirmed, trying to pry herself free. ]

Errg! Let go --!

[ The likelihood of this happening was slim to nil, though. He won his challenge fair and square though, so he didn't have to hold onto her. Right? ]

[explodewiththerage]

If I do that you'll fall. I can't have that.

[And he likes capturing Lucy like this out of the blue. THe sudden closeness and her reactions are just an irresistible combination.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Ugh, did he have to be so literal? Feeling him so close -- it was one thing. But being unable to see him - yikes. ]

S.. so you could just... let me get my bearings and stand ... [ Which would require him letting her go. Eventually. ]

[explodewiththerage]

And try to get one last hit on me?

[Oh yes he knows what she's scheming and he's having none of that.]

[celestial_wizard]

Ahaha, you just think you're so clever!

[ Although, let's be real, that is exactly what she was going to do. He'd probably have done the same in her place though. ]

What if I promise not to?

[ Bargaining will work, right?]

[explodewiththerage]

Mmmmm maybe cause I am~

[Would bargaining work. But why would she want to leave those safe warm arms of his?]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Because that was where the real danger was~! Hadn't he learned that by now? Lucy sure had. Whenever he held her close, down went her defenses and she wanted to just stay in those safe, warm arms for hours. ]

Oh boy, what an ego. [ She giggled. Well at least she couldn't see his face. She reached up, tracing her fingers over his arms in a slow search of his invisible head. ]

Don't you feel silly though...?

[ Oh there we go, she's encountered neck. And just above, she let her fingers brush against his cheek, finding the sight of her hand absently brushing against the air where his cheek was rather bizarre. ]

[explodewiththerage]

[Natsu never felt any kind of danger when it came to Lucy and having her in close proximity. How lucky for him. And frustrating for poor Lucy.]

Silly? This whole little game was silly. Grabbing you doesn't feel any more silly than that.

[Even so she will feel a familiar weight leaning in against her soft hand.]
