[MINI EVENT] Fayren Attacked

Who: Open.
What: Big Trouble in Little Fayren.
Where: Fayren.
When: Today. Just after midnight.

Arlen was a known summoner in Fayren. He grew up there and so did his wife Vestele. They'd been friends since childhood and started dating in their teens and marriage happened soon after. Arlen returned home and found a letter stating that Vestele had been kidnapped. And if they wanted to see them again, they needed to follow strict instructions. Enclosed in the letter was a wedding ring that belonged to Vestele, just so he would know that this was no bluff.

He was told not to tell anyone what happened and to be a specific location. If anything out of the ordinary happened, his wife would die. So he arrived at the meeting place and met a man dressed in robes, his face obscured by a hood that he was wearing. Vestele was behind the man, bound and gagged.

Before he knew it, he felt a sharp pain in his neck as an unseen assailant injected him with something. Arlen was told that he had just been injected with a poison just to make sure he cooperated. It would take his life in seventy-two hours, but if he did exactly what they wanted then they would give him the antidote. If not, in seventy two hours, he would die, and at that same time, they would take Vestele’s life as well. Arlen only cared to see Vestele set free, even if his actions led to him being imprisoned, that was fine. Just so long as Vestele was safe.

Fast forward to now, he was attempting to complete his final task. Chalk infused with his magic as well as stolen ingredients that were acquired from a thief was used to scribble intricate markings on surfaces not readily visible by people merely passing by. He could feel the point burning in his body all the while.

This preparation was completed quickly, within half an hour for him as he was well versed in this. These circles served as Point B. And Point A? Well, Point A to all of the circles were located within a monster infested ruin.

He activated the circle he was nearest to and it started a chain reaction. Start points and end points were connected and creatures were teleported into the city. Reanimated Skeletons, Fire Bats, Clockroaches and Giant Boars for good measure. Creatures that ranged from annoying to deadly in the right situation.

He completed his task, now the Hands of Decay needed to uphold their side of the bargain and release Vestele. Arlen fled from Fayren using the teleportation circle that he made to send him to the ruins while the creatures began to attack the city, from there he planned to head to his meeting point. He prayed that Vestele would be safe, and that Fayren wouldn't hate him too much.

[ooc: The TL;DR version, Summoner summons in monsters after 12AM when most people are probably in bed. He’s been blackmailed to do so. There are a large number of monsters roaming around/breaking into house/attacking people. So, mini attack in Fayren. ICly, this will only last for one hour. Probably quite a bit of property damage will happen as a result. You know, with giant boars running around and all.]

She had learned that he could understand the seriousness of a situation, easily in the times she'd spent with him. It had surprised her at first, and then she found it one more reason to appreciate him. Being able to understand him so well. "Yeah," she wandered over to a fallen pillar just far enough that she couldn't see the bodies. "I'll ask her to bring me a pad as well, so I can draw those symbols."
explodewiththerage: (Bored~)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-16 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The time spent had nothing to do with it. Lucy simply understood him on a core level. Something he couldn't help appreciate time and time again. Natsu sighed again and walked up close to Lucy, keeping his senses attuned to the surroundings for now.

"You still feeling up for that?"
celestial_wizard: (Good mood)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-16 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It took her a moment longer to answer that. Even if Virgo had summoned herself, she had used a lot of her magic fighting today. "....... y-yeah. I think so. I want to finish this." It wouldn't take too much time to do a rough sketch, she thinks. Though she didn't think she'd feel like she had any energy left for the walk home.
explodewiththerage: (Cool smile)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-16 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
She wanted to finish this. Of course she did. Well he could respect that. Even if he wished he could send her off to rest and forget about the events of today. That wasn't an option though. "Okay if you're sure." He would offer to carry her if her strength ran out after that. His fatigue was considerably less serious.
celestial_wizard: (Nostalgic)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-16 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
She'd like nothing more than to just forget about the events of today. But even if she did go back home to rest and leave him here, she'd not be able to sleep at all until he got back. Carrying her home on the other hand..well, she might take him up on the offer. Even if she wasn't completely drained of energy, she wouldn't mind the entirely selfish thought of letting him carry her home on his back or in his arms since she'd be able to feel him close to her. "Yeah. Besides, if I fall asleep, I'm sure to forget some of the details." ... not the sight of the dead bodies though.

"Well that's true. Best to keep going while it's going good." AS good as it could be given their grim circumstances. There was also the risk of someone at the guild knowing the two dead people. After all the man had clearly come from the circle so he'd used magic.
celestial_wizard: (Sneepy)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-16 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
After waiting for a good twenty or so minutes, Lucy reached for Virgo's key, sending a quick message. Of course, Lucy wouldn't have to summon Virgo again - since Virgo was always in tune with Lucy's magic level, she came herself, delivering the pad and pencil before heading back to the Celestial World. Lucy glanced at the papers, sighing softly as she started to sketch the design.

"There." She yawned, wobbling a little in her seat. "That should be all of it. Now," she yawned again, "Now we just have to call the city guard."
explodewiththerage: (Cool smile)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-16 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Natsu watched Lucy draw the circle and was actually pretty impressed with how well she managed to copy it. The array was still a puzzling affair but now they had the design in a more travel fit manner. Even so there was no denying how tired Lucy was.

"Yeah and after they come we can just head on home."
celestial_wizard: What a night! -o- (Yawwwwwwwwwwn)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-16 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
She just hoped she didn't make any mistakes when she copied it. One little misdrawn line could change the meaning of the circle entirely. "Can hardly wait," Nice warm bed. Nice soft pillow and mattress. SLEEEEEEEEEP. She shook her head, slapping her cheeks a little and stretching, before picking up the device and making the last call for the night.
explodewiththerage: (Cool smile)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-16 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Natsu waited for Lucy to finish her call to the guards before he spoke up again.

"You still hanging in there okay? How long did they say they'd need to get here?"
celestial_wizard: (Kerflop)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-16 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"About ten or fifteen minutes, depending on their pace." She flashed him a soft, smile. "I think I can hold out till then. Looking forward to getting to snuggle up in my bed is giving me a second...third wind."
explodewiththerage: (Default)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-16 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll make sure to make your bed nice and toasty too when we get back." As to how that would be achieved, well Lucy didn't need to know that surely.
celestial_wizard: (Lonely - Tree)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-17 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, she didn't need to know. She thought the sound of a nice, toasty bed was too good to pass up to think about -how- he'd make it nice and toasty. "Mmm, that sound heavenly." Nothing she loved more than a nice toasty bed on a cold day. Just imagining herself snuggling up in the nice warm blankets was enough to make her want to doze off right there. Ah, heaven.

She leaned forward against her knees with a heavy sigh, trying not to think about the one question that kept nagging at her. Was it their fault the people died, because they were too slow. But it couldn't be - that woman was dead a day before they even showed up. But still...
explodewiththerage: (Cool smile)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-17 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Natsu sat down next to Lucy as lose as she let him before pulling her against his side all in preparation for the wait for the guards to get there. Part of him wished the circle still worked. That would have sped things up nicely but they just were not that lucky.
celestial_wizard: (Good mood)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-17 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
It would have been lovely if that circle had still worked, but alas. Glancing at Natsu when he pulled her against his side, she grinned faintly. Even if they had to wait a while, she didn't mind waiting with him. And to think just a few days ago she wouldn't have been able to let herself lean against him like this - or she'd have been spazzing so much from the proximity she wouldn't have been able to enjoy that warmth. Although because of that warmth and his presence she might have nodded off a little, leaning against him, by the time the City Guard arrived.

They weren't exactly -quiet- about their arrival either, they came in a team of three along with a horse pulled cart. Two of them went over to check the corpses while the third approached Natsu, looking tired. "Are you two the ones that made the call?" He asked to confirm his guess.

Lucy shifted, coming alert with a stifled yawn. Whoops, professionals are here. "Yea--Yes, we are." Lucy answered, straightening to glance at Natsu, and then past him towards the guards.

The guardsman gave a short nod, "We appreciate your help, but we can take care of things from here."
explodewiththerage: (Bored~)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-17 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Alright then. We'll head off then. If you want to ask us anything you can find us at the Fairy Tail guild house." That should have told them who they were given that place had become a shelter to the magicals who wanted a safe haven while the Hands of Decay were at large.
celestial_wizard: (Tired from Training)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-17 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
The guard nodded, recognition flashing in his eyes at mention of the guild house. He -had- heard that some mages were helping with the clean up of the monsters, and that a lot of mages were hiding out at the guild house. "We'll let you know if we find out anything." If he can. "Get some rest, both of you."

That said, he bowed to the both of them and turned to join his companions at the cart. Lucy sighed, getting to her feet. "Well, let's get going!" Though she'd be lucky to make it even halfway - now that things were passed off to the authorities, the exhaustion was showing.
explodewiththerage: (Default)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-18 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
She got to her feet but Natsu instead hunched down with his back facing Lucy.

"Hop on. I'll get us home faster if you hitch a ride on my back" After all he could sprint down the road with Lucy like that easily.
celestial_wizard: (Curious)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-18 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh?" Oh - that was true! "Oh --allright, if you're sure." She was a little relieved at the suggestion actually. Stepping over to cautiously take her place behind him, slipping her arms around his neck nice and snug. Almost more like a hug than holding on, really!
explodewiththerage: (The Dragon Slayer)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-18 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"I am." Natsu said and adjusted his grip on Lucy before he broke into a sprint. The wind blew past both of them as the city of Fayren started appearing from down the road.

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-18 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
She held on, letting her head rest against his shoulder as her streamed behind her, letting out a grateful sigh as Natsu zipped them both back home. She probably could have fallen asleep on his back right there, knowing he wouldn't let her fall, but she much preferred watching their surroundings fly by them this way.
explodewiththerage: (Cool smile)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-19 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Occasionally Natsu would look over his shoulder to check if Lucy had not slipped under into sleep's sweet warm, sheltering embrace. SHe was exhausted both from magic as well as the grizzle discovery they had made. Natsu didn't blame or even hold that against her. Not like he every could do something like that when she was this far gone.

It doesn't take long for Natsu to simply hop over the gfence surrounding the guild grounds and coming to a halt at last.
celestial_wizard: (To try to smile)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-19 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
There was something about being so close to him that soothed her even when he was sprinting at such a pace. Somewhere in the final legs of the run, her arms had loosened around him a little, her breathing evening into a light doze. Though that little hop had been enough of a change in his pace to make her open her eyes a little, and then sit up a bit more, "We're back..."
explodewiththerage: (Cool smile)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2016-01-19 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Natsu didn't lower Lucy to her feed though, instead walking into the dorm building and taking Lucy up to their shared room. "Mhm we are. For a sec there I thought you'd fallen asleep for real you know~" Natsu answered with a chuckle as he walked up the stairs.
celestial_wizard: The One Magic is Love (A Beautiful Smile)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2016-01-19 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh..? H-hey, you can put me down now..! You're not carrying me all the way -!?" Apparently he was. Geez, way to do 150% Natsu! She chuckled faintly, "I think I did, for a few minutes there. Once I started to relax, I was finding it hard to keep my eyes open."
