genessia | Action/Video

It didn't take more than regaining consciousness to know there was something wrong. First off, she had been asleep. Secondly, she was breathing. Which meant that she wasn't in the spirit world, but she also couldn't feel Lucy in the immediate area. The petite maid sat up so swiftly that the box on her chest went flying as if from a spring directly into the water but the bit of paper at least didn't go any farther than her lap. Virgo ignored the now-open box half-submerged a few yards away as she scanned the bit of paper.

Well, that explained absolutely nothing of interest to Virgo. Genessia? Necklaces? Videophones? Well, maybe the v-p might be useful at some point. A quick flash and Virgo had changed her black dress and shirt into a black bikini with white ruffles around the edges but she also kept her apron on. It was easier to wade out to the soaking box and dig out the two articles still left in it, give them a good look-over for obvious damage (water didn't count, right?) and shoved the necklace into her pocket. The videophone got a good couple of hard shakes to get the water off and then she pushed some random buttons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The video turned on just in time to show a second of nausea-inducing blur before settling once more. For the next minute or two the viewers will be entertained by looking up at the surface of the water until a rippling figure appears to fish the device into the world of air once more. Only to give several more shakes. Hope you have a strong stomach, unlucky viewer! At last the picture settles on the upper side of what appears to be a young woman's face framed with pink hair. Which then vanishes into audio-only, text only, video again, and then settles on audio.

"This isn't where I came from and it isn't where I should be. I wonder if I'll be punished?" From the tone, Virgo didn't seem all that disturbed by the prospect, just curious. And maybe just a little hopeful.

[ HURRP, her stomach is not that strong. And she feels already nauseous but when the shaking finally stopped and she saw familiar pink hair she ... blinked in surprise. Wait, that was -- ]

Virgo!?

[ This was the second time the powers here yanked one of her Spirits out of the Spirit World. Catching the latter half of her comment, she sweatdropped. ]

No one's going to punish you..!

[ Silly Spirit. But Lucy is on the way~! ]

[A few more pokes and the video came back up just in time for Virgo to bring the thing right up to her eye as if she could see right into the little camera. Then she lowered it so she could look at the little screen. What magic is this??]

Princess, I fell unconscious and was pulled into an unknown place without a proper gate. Both are unacceptable and worthy of punishment. Unless... HE is behind this?

[The Spirit King usually tends to follow the rules to the letter, but Lucy tends to bring the softy out in him.]

[ Lucy smiled at the sight of Virgo peering at the videophone, amused. At first she thought she'd swiped hers, like Gemini had but no. Not with that explanation. ]

It's all right Virgo. Loke came here the same way - somehow. I think it's something about the power here - it pulled Erza, Natsu and I the same way. Zeref too.

I was able to close Loke's Gate so he wouldn't lose any energy, I might be able to do the same for you if necessary. [ Even if she had to force it closed to prevent Virgo from going through what Loke had at first. ]

Sit tight, I'm heading your way. We're all staying at our new Guild in Fayren.

[She nods and there's a sloshing sound as she starts heading for one of the archways at random. Just because she was fine in near-freezing weather in nothing but a bikini didn't mean that her owner should get her feet wet.]

I'll head to the edge of the water to wait, Princess.

[She was as lineface as usual but the prospect of being stuck was quite worrying. But at least Loke had been the first to be stuck, the only one of them who knew how to cope.]

[ Lucy only hoped that when the time came she'd be able to help Virgo - spirits know she'd expend all of her magic energy trying. ]

Okay then, I'll be there soon.

[ She was trying to present the situation as something not to worry about - she didn't want any of her friends worrying - but she knew the risks of a celestial spirit being on the mortal plane for too long. Granted, Virgo had a stronger bond with her than say, Lyrae or HOrologium, but that was no reason to take it for granted. ]

[ She wished Loke was here now, in fact, to help Virgo through the situation. But he was probably on a date. So it fell to Lucy, caretaker of the spirits, to ease any worries that the Maiden had. Virgo didn't have to wait too long before the tap of Lucy's footsteps were heard, followed by her voice. ]

Virgo?

[It seemed that it was quite the sight for her to stand around in a bikini at the edge of a nearly frozen body of water in such weather, so one random hole dug and clothing shift later she was waiting quite patiently to be collected. Though perhaps there was just a tiny bit of worry in her eyes when Lucy finally came into view.]

Ah, Princess. Are you well?

[The worry cleared with a tiny smile though. At least it didn't look like Lucy was in any danger or injured, and even her clothing was intact. And while she couldn't seem to return on her own the mention of closing Leo's gate earlier did ease her mind a bit. But it was still quite a disturbing situation for any Spirit.]

[ Lucy did wonder what her spirits must think of being pulled to a place like this out of nowhere. Virgo always seemed to have such a lineface it was hard to read her - almost as hard as reading Natsu. ]

I'm fine, Virgo - what about you? You aren't feeling weak or cold, or ill or anything?

[ She looked her spirit over anxiously before she smiled, motioning with a hand. ]

Here, come on. Fairy Haven isn't too far from here.

[Thankfully it wasn't being pulled away without much warning that was irritating, spirits were used to only having the sensation of their key being lifted before being pulled between worlds. But actually being knocked unconscious during the process was the part that disturbed Virgo. And it didn't feel like she could return on her own at the moment.]

Not yet, perhaps in a few hours. Leo might be able to teach me how to stay longer but that is not ideal...

[The admission was difficult of course and she ducked her head a bit in embarrassment. But Lucy had never been dishonest with any of her spirits so she deserved the hesitant admission as Virgo fell into step behind and to one side of Lucy. She'd follow her Princess wherever they ended up of course.]

[ It seemed almost wrong for a power other than that of a celestial wizard to be able to pull her Spirits out of the Spirit World. What if Lucy hadn't been here? ]

No, I agree. I don't know how Loke was able to stay in our world for as long as he had - he didn't have as strong a bond with his last summoner as he does with me. Something like that is dangerous. If you start feeling weak, please tell me as soon as you can, all right?

[ If she could close Virgo's Gate, she could always resummon the Spirit under Lucy's own power - back in the other world she'd managed to keep several of her friends summoned for hours but - sadly her power level dropped back to what it was before, here now. Still it was enough. She smiled reassuringly at the troubled Spirit. ]

This place isn't so bad as far as worlds to be stuck in. Time stops back home, so we aren't really missing anything - [ Which is good considering what's going on back home. ] - ah here. These gates lead to the other cities her in Genessia. Our guild is in Fayren. Brace yourself it's a little weird going through the first time.

[She nodded and padded along with Lucy without any antics. It would be fine as long as they made sure Lucy could still send her back but it wouldn't be wise to waste time and energy until then.

And since it was her first time strolling through a human city so casually she was keeping an eye out for potential trouble. The gate got a bit of an inspection before she actually stepped through it... But it didn't feel much odder than a celestial gate.]

Princess, are there others here?

[ Once they got back to the guild, Lucy would give it a shot - and hope it worked. She felt pretty confident in it though, since it had worked for Loke when he had been pulled. ]

Others? Well, there are others from the guild here, if that's what you mean. [ In the sense that there were others from their world. ]

Erza and Natsu are here... and Zeref too.
