Who: Lucy, Virgo - OPEN for all nearby
When: All day Today
Where: Largely at Fairy Haven - the Fairy Tail Guild in Fayren (prone to change depending on the thread)
What: Socialization between Summoner and Spirit - and moar~ (Catchall for anyone who wants to come hang out at the guild or get CR :D)

Morning
It was easier to get Neveren and Justyne, the children she and Natsu rescued a few days ago, to stop climbing into her bed, than it was to keep Natsu from doing so. They and their dog have been adjusting well, and even their injuries were healing up well. The kids still held out hope that their Nanny would be found, or others from their home, and she did too. She wouldn't squish that hope. Knowing that the kids would be up soon, she scooted on bare feet to duck into the bathroom to clean up, keeping her keys with her out of habit.


Afternoon
And by the time she was freshened up and wide awake, she trotted downstairs to the guild to A) check and see if any interesting requests had been submitted and B) make sure Herb was still doing well. He'd gotten pretty energetic recently. Sadly she had to dissuade Justyne and Nev from wanting to go into the pool. Still not quite warm enough for that, alas. But there was never a dull moment at the Guild so they weren't exactly wanting for entertainment. As for Lucy, any guild members or guests, or stragglers that came into the guild, would get a cheerful greeting and welcome from the celestial wizard.

[ OOC: Tag in at either hour of the day morning or afternoon~! ]

Afternoon!

[onecream_fivesugar]

With Weiss gone, Team RWBY's apartment didn't quite have the same energy it used to. Ruby had decided it might be a better idea to go out and socialize than stay home and mope about her "lost" teammate. On her journey to bother other people, she'll poke her head in at the Fairy Tail Guild to say hello.

"Uhmmm? Hello? Anyone home?" See, just like I said she would.

Afternoon!

[celestial_wizard]

And Ruby, on poking her head in the door, would be greeted by a grinning Lucy sitting at one of the tables. "Hi Ruby!" She beckoned the other girl to come in come in and join her instead of lurking in the doorway like a lurking lurkerson.

[virgochains]

Virgo generally didn't tend to do Lucy's laundry while other people were around, or when Lucy was awake sometimes. But since it seemed that her gate was still activating suddenly without cause, why not? So just as Ruby poked a head in, Virgo would be coming up behind the red-head with a basket full of freshly washed and pressed clothes.

Only Lucy's though, since maybe she'd get some punishment...

"A guest?" Virgo stopped and eyed the young woman with her usual bland expression.

[onecream_fivesugar]

"Lucy, hey! fancy seeing you here!" Ruby was quite content to awkwardly stand in the doorway, that is until she heard Virgo speak up from behind. She'll jump in surprise and skitter further into the room.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to get in the way!"

[celestial_wizard]

Awkward as ever! Lucy grinned at the girl, about to usher her in when Virgo appeared. Nice to see the spirit had settled in despite the strangeness of being pulled to this world the way Loke had. But at least she was able to be sent back too, if needed.

"You're not in the way Ruby; Virgo, what are you doing... are those my-" No, Virgo, noooo. As an aside, she motioned at Ruby, "Virgo, this is a friend of ours, Ruby. Ruby, this is Virgo."

[virgochains]

Indeed she had, and more time to see Lucy's smile on top of it! And poor Ruby, Virgo is going to just watch you skittle away with a little inner amusement. Poor girl... Virgo might have found a new person to mess with.

"Just your skirts, tops, and socks, Princess," Virgo clarified. Virgo didn't care about occasionally flashing her own, but Lucy's delicates were off limits unless breaking into her room! And yes, she did iron those socks... "It's a great pleasure to meet you, Ruby..." Bowing politely with a full basket, the talent of a maid!

[onecream_fivesugar]

Ruby takes great pride in her awkwardness, except she doesn't. She's pretty pretty much easy mode for anyone out to mess with people, it's not hard at all.

She'll look over and smile politely at Virgo, then raise a hand to shake. Only to quickly lower it again once she sees that Virgo's holding a basket of laundry.

"Nice to meet you Virgo, eheheh."

[Afternoon]

[stray_cat_strut]

A sweeper's first order of business was to gather intel on the location and perpetrator. Since there was none of the latter, Train was focusing on learning about all the nearby cities. Today found the ex-eraser in Fayren where he caught himself some brunch in a nearby body of water.

Eventually he made his way to the Fairy Tail Guild where he stepped inside noting that it was very similar to a Sweeper Cafe. He supposed he should do the usual and find the bartender to see how this place ran so Train moved farther into the room.

[Afternoon]

[celestial_wizard]

No bartender, at least not yet - that was Erza's call to make. Anything the guildies wanted they pretty much had to serve themselves. Sitting at a table while looking over the paper with a friend, Lucy glanced up curiously at a new entering gentleman.

"Ah, hi there. Can I help you with something?" Maybe he was a client?

[Afternoon]

[stray_cat_strut]

Trains ears perked up as he was greeted by the blond. "Hi there, maybe you can. I'm pretty new to the area and I'm looking for work. I heard that people post jobs here that may be up my alley so I came to see if that's true."

Re: [Afternoon]

[celestial_wizard]

"Mm, well it's true they do post jobs, but - these are guild missions." She explained, "Only members of the guild here are able to take them on." Erza would kill her if she gave away one of their missions! of course if he wanted to join the guild, that was another matter entirely. "There are jobs in the paper here too, though."

[stray_cat_strut]

"Well that's a bummer. It would be hard to compete against a guild in my normal line of work but I'm not interested in joining any more organizations." He sighed a bit, jeeze he just quit one a couple years ago and even now they were still trying to drag him in to things. "I guess I'll have to check the paper then. Do you know where can I pick one up around here?"

[celestial_wizard]

Lucy reached over to the newspaper she'd been looking at, cheerfully offering it to him. "I happened to have one right here, actually..!" She rocked back on her heels, "What kind of work have you done before you came here?"

[stray_cat_strut]

"Oh, that's helpful," he took the the paper from her, "I'm a Swee-- well, bounty hunter." No one here seemed to know what a Sweeper was so he had to remember to change the terminology lest he be accused of living life by the broom for a third time. "Anything from apprehending dine-and-dashers to murderers and anything in-between. But between you and me, I prefer the more dangerous jobs, they're way more fun."

Afternoon

[explodewiththerage]

Ever since bringing in the two children and the dog, Natsu had started spending a lot more time in the guild building itself rather than out training. Neveren especially seemed to enjoy making Natsu demonstrate his control over fire. The little boy was clearly fascinated by the magic involved.

Which was why if anyone were to show up around evening for a visit, they would find Natsu juggling some candles he'd lit before ultimately he started juggling only the flames plucking them from the candle whick and throwing them around in a loop from hand to hand.

[frostheartedrose]

She arrived almost an hour after the sun had set while the sky was still fairly light but had no chance at burning her. Though Bridget still wore a tightly-woven black hooded cape just to be safe... It probably would have looked extremely suspicious if she wasn't barely over five feet tall even wearing heeled ankle-boots. As soon as the door was firmly shut behind her the woman pushed her hood back and took a good look around the main room.

The bits of fire reflected off her eyes for a moment but she didn't really find it odd to be playing with fire. Especially to entertain a child. The sight did soften her pale cat-eyes just a little bit at least. "So, this is Fairy Tail..."

[explodewiththerage]

He'd caught the new scent before she stepped in through the door so when he saw a hooded figure walk through their doors, he started channeling some of his magic into the fires he was juggling about. He was on his toes about anyone coming to their guild. After all that old hag that tried to trick them could make a come back at any turn.

He threw all of the small clusters of fire together until they formed one big one and then ate it much to the cheer and laughter of his young audience.

"Yeah it is." He said and patted the kid on his head before walking up closer to the visitor, making sure to keep the kids behind him. He was quite protective of the two and their loyal friend.

"What brings you here, anyways?"

[frostheartedrose]

She probably smelled like wind and rain, perhaps a bit like the stray cat she'd caught sleeping on her cloak earlier, and certainly not human. Bridget wasn't afraid of him in the least but she also had no sense of aggression or deception. She didn't smell of blood or residual fear, or of strangers.

But she was also smelling him a little as well though not nearly as much as he was her. A young human who ate fire, smelled like the good parts of a camp fire, and was protective of children, Bridget rather liked the way his eyes looked straight at her without any sense of dishonesty or condescending airs.

"I heard you take on odd requests, so I thought I'd come by and see for myself." Bridget tilted her head slightly as she spoke, knowing that her prominent canines would be impossible to hide without her usual passive mental push. But Bridget doubted that anyone who ate fire could call her out for having fangs.

[explodewiththerage]

Everyone had their unique scent. Since he didn't have it stored in memory he was sure this was the first time he met this person. So naturally he was on his guard given recent events.

Still she didn't give him the feeling of a bad person. His instincts told him as much

As for her worry about concealing her kind's features, they were completely needless. After all Natsu's own fangs were likely noticeable.

"Yeah that's us. Though we don't do any shady stuff. We're a legit guild."

[frostheartedrose]

That earned him a tiny smile and nod. "I wouldn't ask children to do anything shady. It would be far more efficient for me to do it myself and I'd know the job was done right."

She was joking, right? Maybe? Probably.

Bridget reached up and tugged the laces of her cloak loose so she could slip out of it. Black tunic, black waste-cinch, black skirt with slits up each side to her hips, Bridget probably looked like she was going to a funeral. "It's nothing against any law I've come across but it will be very challenging. I want to know if I can walk into the sunlight without being burned."

[sticktoshadows]

[There's a little robot snake chillin' out in the trees Natsu. Don't mind it, it's just doing spy stuff. It's a secret agent robot snake.

...I mean it's just a snake. I swear.]

[explodewiththerage]

Maybe if he hadn't had a fight with a giant snake a couple days prior he might have let it slip. For now though he's quick to throw a deterrent fireball in its general direction.]

[sticktoshadows]

[The top secret agent snake will narrowly move out of the fireballs way to avoid it, however the fireball will burn the branch it's on and it'll fall to the ground with a rather heavy thud for a snake.]

[explodewiththerage]

[Natsu hears that thump and after disentangling himself from Neveren makes his way over to the location of the heavy sound.]

[sticktoshadows]

[When Natsu gets over there, he'll see that same snake trying to slither away.

Jeez, it's a pretty tough little guy isn't it? A normal snake probably would have been stunned from a fall like that.]
