Video/Action - Scribes and Scripts

[ooc: Feel free to reply to her video or show up at the shop!]

[Levy's smiling when the video flickers on. Her hair is tied back with it's usual band and she's sitting somewhere with a wall of books behind her.]

Hey everyone, it's been a little crazy lately.

[Her smile falters some but she keeps going.]

I opened my bookstore and I now safely have enough books to make an announcement about it. It's call Scribes and Scripts and it's located in Fayren. It's really not that far of a walk so you should stop by. Besides requested books we also have local writers! We have book hunters on the look out for anything you might need.

I've also talked with Yuna about having a book at the shop to collect information about Genessia. I don't know if it will work but people are welcome to come and write things that they know in it. I decided to start off with what I learned a little while back.

[There is no need to state the obvious.]


[Video: Closed to those in Fairy Tail & Friends]

Hey all! It's been awhile.

Sorry about that I've been really busy with work. I've decided to move in with a good friend. I have too many books and I need a little bit more space.

[She's not requesting help but she wouldn't say no to help.]

I hope I'm less busy soon but maybe we can all do something fun!


[Action: Open]

[Levy's taking a small break from work to move a lot of heavy books from point A to point B. Her arms are filled with books with her eyes just barely peeking over the rim. She steps carefully and slowly as she moves across the street, her eyes trying to keep a look out for anything that might run her over with more then half of her peripheral vision obstructed.

Her footsteps are light stopping at a street corner to look around tentatively. She remembers the way but her perspective has changed now that it's from behind a stack of books. She's trying to remember why she thought doing this had been a good idea.

She can't wait to be home.]

[Even though he was still being tended to in the field hospital, Mamoru was still able to use his communicator as he came on the screen, lying in bed with bandages around his ripped up toga and it looks like he was in pretty bad shape still, but okay for the moment.]

Levy-san, I...I wanted to apoligize for not getting a chance to come visit your bookstore, I was busy with Anastasia-chan, and well...

[Mamoru turned a bit sad when the topic of the battle came up.]

I was one of the first to act when Gilgamesh made his move. I fought him and, as you can tell, it didn't end well. I'm still in the field hospital recovering from it, but I am still alive. I did what I thought was right, and what my courage guided me to. I wanted to help Sakura-san, especially because she's Anastasia-chan's friend...

I'm sorry but I won't be able to visit the book store until I get better. I sent Anastasia-chan to fill you in some more, and well, in my shape, I won't be able to protect her and look after her right now, would you mind making sure she's okay until I recover my strength?

[Mamoru turned even sadder.]

Before I went to face Gilgamesh, Anastasia-chan and I had a fight over it, and she was worried what'd happen to her if something happened to me, and I told her that I trusted you.

If it's too much to ask, that's okay.

[Levy smiles, her expression a little worried for the poor boy who now lay hurt. She'll ask Wendy if she can go and help him heal faster.]

It's no problem. I'll be happy to help look after Anastasia. I was in the fight too but I was focused on the Golems.

Are you okay?

Do you need anything?

[She feels bad just leaving him there though after her announcement she can't just leave the shop.]

Re: [Video]

[adoptedalien]

I see. I'm just glad I was able to buy everyone they time to defeat the army and rescue Sakura-san.

[Mamoru then turned his attention to his predicament and winced in pain.]

I was...I was struct by one of Gilgamesh's swords. I tried to dodge them, but when I tried to fight back with my powers, even though I was in the air, a sword broke through my shield and cut me. And then, it exploded and I was thrown to the ground from pretty high up. my entire body hurts, and my... My wings got hurt really bad.

I'm probably going to be in this bed for a while. I won't be able to do anything.

[Mamoru could be seen crying a little bit.]

Everyone else was right, I was too reckless... And I still lost. I didn't want to give up after he struck me down, I wanted to keep fighting, but Anastasia-chan wanted me to come back... So I lied down and played dead. In other words... I gave up. My friends always taught me to never give up! But I didn't have the power to defeat him, so I at least had to keep one promise...

[Mamoru was crying and sniffling now, but eventually he wiped his tears.]

I'll be okay, but I'd appreciate it if maybe, when you're less busy, if you'd mind visiting me? I'm gonna be stuck in this bed for a while, and maybe you can read me a book? You said you'd help me pick out an interesting book, and I feel bad we never got to do that...

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy's expression softens some. This is something that she understands a lot, she rarely feels like she does enough to help when her friends go off to save Earth-land.]

I actually found a book I thought you'd like. I have it here, and I can most definitely stop by and read it to you.

[Her smile widens slightly.]

Hey, listen. You didn't give up or run away. Sometimes it's harder to know your limits and when you reach them you get to climb back up and get stronger. I'm sure it wasn't easy, to lay there and do nothing. You are very strong and the fact that you put Anastasia's feelings before your own is very admirable.

You should be proud of yourself.

[knowledgeandshadow]

How could I not? I shall endeavour to pay a visit... I'd be most interested in what you have available.

[Video]

[skilledwithwords]

I'm glad to hear it!

[She loves books too.]

If you need something I don't have just let me know.

[She'll be around the shop.]

[Video]

[knowledgeandshadow]

[Really, Patchouli likes her already. And she's already wondering just what she can learn from these books... She'll show up at her earliest convenience.]

I am Patchouli Knowledge, a fellow seeker of knowledge.

[Video]

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy's smile widens.]

I'm happy to hear that. If there is anything you are interested in that we don't have let me know.

I'd be happy to try and find it.

[Action] At Scribes & Scripts

[innocent_royal]

[The door into the shop, Scribes and Scripts, creeps open and soon, the head of a young blonde girl peeks in. Anastasia peers around shyly for a moment before moving the rest of herself inside, closing her parasol and the door behind her.

This was surely the bookstore that Mamoru mentioned, so his friend had to be here. Sure, she could've simply contacted the woman over the network, but as both were friends of Mamoru, it was only polite for her to meet with Levy in person. Though she was nervous, she never sought out anyone before.]

"...Hello? I am looking for a woman named Levy."

[Action] At Scribes & Scripts

[skilledwithwords]

[Hearing her name she peeks out, her eye looking at the young girl before her lips curl into a smile.]

You must be Anastasia. It's nice to meet you, Mamoru told me about you.

[Her expression was calm and friendly.]

[Action] At Scribes & Scripts

[innocent_royal]

[So Mamoru has been talking about her? Surely it was nice things if Levy is being nice. Anastasia approached Levy slowly, trying to figure out how she should carry out Mamoru's request, and it shows with how she was nervously wringing her hands together.]

"It's nice to meet you, too. I-I'm here on behalf of Mamoru. He was injured in the fight with the man in gold... He wants to apologize for not visiting you."

[Action] At Scribes & Scripts

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy shakes her head.]

I'm sure I'll see him soon and he should rest while he's hurt.

[She is used to seeing her friends push themselves and it usually ends with people getting hurt.]

So there really is no reason to apologize. [Her smile brightens.] Do you like books?

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Congrats on the shop~ It's always an exciting thing to do here, at least that's what I found when I opened up my place.

[Now she is just always very busy.]

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy smiles brightly.]

Thank you! I love books and I hope to share that. Anything I can interest you in?

video;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Only if you have manga. I'm not a huge book fan unless the story is interesting or it's manga.

[She did enjoy a story or two though.]

video;

[skilledwithwords]

I do!

[Her smile widens slightly.]

One of these is written by a boy in Genessia. It's an amazing love story.

[She's read it.]

Action

[rulerofme]

You're just an accident waiting to happen. [David says from behind her. He hadn't even recognized her until she walked past him and he was able to see just who was sitting behind that stack of books. ]

Didn't think to ask for help?

Action

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy's head falls straight back, giving her a view of an upside down David.]

I remember telling people I was going to move. [That's like asking for help. She smiles and then turns to face David, as well as she can with a stack of books between them.]

I still have more. [She smiles sheepishly.] Do you mind helping?

Action

[rulerofme]

That's not really asking for help, though. [He holds his hands out for the books.]

I'd be a bad roomie if I didn't help, wouldn't I? Plus you have already helped me a lot. I think this is the first thing you've ever really asked of me.

Action

[skilledwithwords]

Is it?

[Levy blinks as she passed over some of the books from her pile. She's sure that she's asked for help before. When she first arrived in Genessia, David had been one of few to lend her a hand though he might not have known how much help he really was that day.]

I know you've helped me before. Maybe you just make it so I don't have to ask.

[ Voice ]

[celestial_wizard]

We've all been a little busy, I think. Having so much work is a good thing though... Most of the time.

[ Although she hasn't seen any of her other teammates, she was confident they were fine. But she was used to that, coming from the point in time she was from. ]

[ Voice ]

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy is really glad to hear from Lucy. She's been busy between two jobs and then helping where she can. More so it seems she falls into things by accident but she's trying her best. There are things that Levy's trying desperately to make up for.]

It's good to hear from you Lu-chan. How have you and Natsu been?

[ Voice ]

[celestial_wizard]

We've been keeping busy taking jobs. Just got back from one a few hours ago, actually.

[rainclouds]

M-moving in with someone... Juvia did not realize Levy-san had a relationship of that status!

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy almost drops her phone. She really should have expected this sort of reaction out of Juvia.]

It's not like that. David and I are just good friends.
