Who: Wendy Marvell + Open
When: March 31st, 2014
Where: Anywhere
What: Wendy wakes up to an unfamiliar world and unfamiliar smells and tastes. She doesn't quite know what to do and she's severely injured and drained of magical abilities for the time being.

In the middle of this place somewhere, appears yet another Dragon Slayer, tired, exhausted, and unconscious. Her clothes were torn and ripped in various different directions. No one could say that she didn't put up a strong enough of a fight. All she recalled in her consciousness was the fact that Charle and her were able to stop Face. That was all it mattered. They did what they must in order to save the world, yet somehow the air smelled different.

It smelled different, and it tasted different. The air spoke of many different things,and she slowly cracked an eye opened, though she wasn't expecting a wash of sunlight to temporarily shine in her face. Where was here? It didn't smell like her world and it wasn't Edolas. It was a whole different place. The girl stayed where she was for a moment, unsure how to get up, while looking at the sky.

They did it right? They stopped Face?

"Charle...?"

Where was Charle?

Comments

Natsu's gone to bed, but he's going to jump into this thread in the a.m. :D

[celestial_wizard]

Lucy had been hanging out with Natsu (of course) at the guild when he suddenly alerted her to a new - and long missed - scent he was picking up on. Naturally, Lucy was quick to follow after him as he led her through Fayren, past the Gate and towards the Bay where everyone woke up when they were pulled here.

So Wendy would no doubt pick up the familiar scents before she heard Lucy calling out for her, "Wendy? Are you in here?" Of course she is Lucy, Natsu says so.

/o/ okie dokie!

[tenkuunomiko]

"L-Lucy-san?"

Her voice was weak, but Wendy, managed to pull herself together and sit up, wincing a bit, due to the injuries. It wasn't something she couldn't heal, once she recovered her magic. She was relieved to see Lucy if anything, though Wendy's eyes darted around the unknown vicinity for Charle. Where was Charle?! She couldn't possibly have-- could she? Wendy's relief suddenly became a bit more concerned.

She could also smell Natus as well as other scents she recognized after waking up.

Big bro arrives

[explodewiththerage]

Alerted her by suddenly standing up, hands on the table and sniffing the air. He then told Regina to look after things and promptly dragged Lucy after him even if she was going to follow. It was faint but the scent was unmistakable. However the closer the got the more he could pick up another more worrying scent. That of blood.

He rushed onto the scene and quickly followed the scent he rest of the way until he finally came across her. "Wendy!" He cried out and quickly ran over to her, holding her up gently since it looked like she'd barely managed to sit up straight.

Re: Big bro arrives

[celestial_wizard]

Like she wouldn't follow! Still it was a good thing he did drag her after him, she would have probably been left behind as the pace he set. She thought the urgency was because he missed seeing their friend, but when she reached the bay and actually saw Wendy's state...

"Wendy! Wha-What happened!?" Was she injured by Jackal too? Wait no, questions can be answered later - more important to get Wendy safely home where she could rest and recuperate.

big broo!!!

[tenkuunomiko]

"N-Natsu-san..."

Her voice was still weak, but it was easier to sit up with his help. She heard Lucy and then she saw Natsu not too far from Lucy's voice. She smiled weakly, content to find that Lucy and Natsu were safe. That also meant the other members of Fairy Tail were okay too right?

Still, in this situation, her eyes were still darting around trying to find Charle. She felt really uneasy that her Exceed was nowhere to be seen.

"F-Face...Charle and I-- we..." she winced. Everything was hazy when she woke up but it was starting to come together again, "Charle--where's Charle?"

[explodewiththerage]

Natsu couldn't help but frown worriedly hearing her speak so weakly. Face and Charle. Though the most troubling thing was Charle since like Happy it appeared she did not accompany them to this place. As a Dragonslayer he knew how much that could hurt but he also knew it would be even more painful for Wendy since they had been together for so long whereas Natsu always had the others in the guild as well as Happy.

"Take it easy, Wendy. We'll explain everything after we get you back to the guild." Natsu said and moved to pick the little dragonslayer up in his arms.

[celestial_wizard]

It hurt to see Wendy in that state, and her voice - Lucy glanced quickly at Natsu, then back to Wendy as he picked up the younger girl. "Shh, save your strength Wendy. Charle .. I'm sure Charle is just fine. But right now you need to rest - like Natsu said, we'll explain things when we get back to the guild." And she was resting on a bed and not a stinky ol' pod.

[tenkuunomiko]

Not to mention Charle and Wendy had activated the Destruction Spell to destroy Face. It made it harder for her to remain calm thinking about that, because they promised to always be together and Wendy wasn't prepared to part from that promise, yet. Clearly, she was in too much pain to argue. If Natsu and Lucy said they would explain, she would trust them.

She was too weak to struggle, so she stayed there, fragile in Natsu's arms, only nodding her head to Lucy's words. If she said they were okay, Wendy would believe it. She didn't think that Natsu and Lucy would lie to her. They were her friends, and her family. She bit back tears.

"Okay..."

[deathsought]

"That guild mark..."

The voice came from the nearby brush. Zeref had gone back to the domed lagoon where he originally woke up in this world, perhaps out of a sense of nostalgia. Some of the trees that he had killed on accident on his first day here could still be seen nearby, a painful reminder that his magic-neutralizing pin he had received in Exsilium was long gone, probably destroyed when the world destabilized.

Zeref stepped out into the clearing. He hadn't met this one before... it wasn't Natsu, it wasn't any of the Fairies he had met in Exsilium, and it wasn't any of the other three he had met on Tenroujima. She was young, and it looked like she had seen quite a nasty fight recently.

"You're from Fairy Tail, aren't you?"

He frowned. She needed to treat those wounds, soon. Unfortunately, that is far from Zeref's forte. On the other hand... at least her Guild was here.

[tenkuunomiko]

Wendy pushed herself up from the ground, wincing in pain as she heard a voice and an unfamiliar face. She has not seen him before, nor does she recognize him at this point. The girl eyes him curiously, worried, guarded. Charle wasn't here, so she had no one right now, even though there were many scents mixed with the air. She could smell Lucy, and Natsu. Gajeel was here as well but she couldn't pick up Charle at all. Wendy nodded her head at his words.

"Wh-Where are they? D-do you know?"

Her voice was shaky, and unstable. She indeed had used too much magic.

"Wh-Who are you?"

Were they safe and sound? Were they injured? She knew they were alive, but that's it.

[deathsought]

"They're here, yes. They created a new guild hall in a town called 'Fayren.' It's not that far."

Zeref took a few steps closer, but still kept a fair amount of distance between them. Just as a precaution. His magic can go out of control at a moment's notice, and at least from this distance, she could avoid it in time.

When she asked his name, he shook his head. "That can wait," he answered. "You need help. I don't have any healing magic, but I can at least help you get to Fayren."

He doesn't even have any medicinal herbs. They'd last about a day with him before his Death Magic had them shrivel up, and that's a generous estimate. Besides, he didn't really need them; in his world, he could count the amount of things that could kill him on one hand. That number isn't much better, here.

"Can you walk?"

[tenkuunomiko]

They've created a new guild hall in town called Fayren.

What did that mean? What happened to Fairy Tail's Guild? Where was everyone else? Wendy's form shook a bit at the thought of losing anymore of her friends, and her family. Fairy Tail was all of the above. Her vision was fuzzy, and it was hard to speak. He seemed eerie. The air around him, she couldn't place, but it was abnormal...something she's never felt before. He doesn't seem like a bad person and even though she's cautious, Wendy was far too kind for her own good.

"If I can recover my magic..."

She trailed off, as she started to slowly pick up the air around her,"I-I can heal."

She stumbled to get to her feet as she replied to him, giving him a cautious look. The air is different, but it was still air as she starts to ingest it. At least, enough of it so she could walk. The winds around her eventually died down.

"Yes, I can walk. Thank you."

[deathsought]

Recover her magic? That usually took time, and res- Did she just eat the air? At first he thought she was about to gasp for breath, but sure enough... She's a Dragon Slayer.

Ahh, yes, now he remembered her. His spy during the Grand Magic Games, Obra drained her magic, and she was on Tenroujima. And that voice... she tried to speak to Acnologia. Brave, but pointless.

"You're a Dragon Slayer," Zeref commented. And her element is air. How very convenient. "You should be fine, then. If you head due south from here, you'll reach Fayren. The Fairy Tail guild hall is on the outskirts. It's rather hard to miss."

Zeref closes his eyes. "May I ask how you got those wounds?"

[tenkuunomiko]

She did indeed eat air. It seemed like she didn't press the matter of his name. He just seems rather suspicious. She doesn't recall seeing him. It was a good thing that everything about this world was very similar to Earthland. At least, the air was enough for her to recover her magic to at least stand. Healing would take an immense amount of magical power that she couldn't possibly spare right now. She didn't want to pass out before reaching everyone.

Wendy did what she thought was necessary. With the encouragement of her friends and with her own determination, she had to try to speak to Acnologica even if it was pointless.

"Y-Yes-- Are you from Earthland as well?"

She looked at him, maybe a bit more relaxed upon realizing he may have came from the same world as her, "Thank you for you assistance," she bowed her head to him, keeping her balance, though the injuries still proved to be fatal. She also couldn't possibly be wandering without proper clothes.

"Ah--..." she wasn't sure if she should be telling a complete stranger what she was doing. It would have been great if Charle was here. She would have been able to give a convincing story. Wendy looks a bit troubled at the thought of Charle, "It's...a long story..." she mused looking away, "Ah--have you seen a white cat somewhere?"

Charle, where are you?

[deathsought]

"Yes." An answer, just one he chooses not to elaborate on. She doesn't trust him, and nor should she. There goes him being able to confirm his guess about how she earned those cuts. NO big deal.

"That depends on what you mean by 'cats.' Humans here keep cats as pets all of the time. I haven't seen any Exceeds, though." Wait, who mentioned Exceeds?

Zeref folds his hands in front of him. "Fairy Tail will tell you who I am when you get back to the Guild. They already know I'm here. It's... something of a long story, how I met most of them. They can explain it to you." Zeref pauses, and averts his gaze. She should know who he is. She might as well. They'll tell her anyway, most likely.

"This world is called Genessia. As for myself..."

He finally looked back up, his black eyes staring into hers. "My name is Zeref."

1/2

[tenkuunomiko]

She doesn't force him to say anymore-- knowing that he's from the Earthland, is enough for her. She doesn't trust him, because he's a stranger, and Fairy Tail still have enemies. She can't really trust anyone until she can make a judgement on them. Wendy's not sure it's a good idea to bring up Tartarus and Face to him. She doesn't even know who he is but he still feels very vastly different.

The air around him, she can feel it. It's strange, but she can't really put her fingers on it. She doesn't feel any hostility towards him, "...Ah--Charle-- she's an Exceed, but I--I didn't..."

She looked down, "So everyone knows-- does that mean that you're--"

[tenkuunomiko]

Her words trailed off at the name of the person, "Z-Zeref?!"

How?!

It was clear in her eyes how terrified she was at the name. The Demon Book of Zeref, Face, and Tatarus. She took several steps back but he said that he was associated with Fairy Tail. Natsu and the others could tell her more, but the name itself was still terrifying. The demons were terrifying. Her friends were hurt, but she couldn't run away, even if she was scared--even if she was terrified

[warring_triad]

"My my~" came a voice from overhead as Kefka just floated upside down, inspecting the girl. "It seems a lot of your kind has decided to show up here~! It must be a fascinating world you come from for so many to naturally be able to wield the powers of magic... but I suppose I should introduce myself~"

He flips right side up, falling into a low bow, even as he hovers a good inch off the ground.

"My name is Cid Highwind~! Lead Magitek Engineer of the Gestahlian Empire on my home world. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking~?"

Of course he wasn't going to use his real name, not after the fight he got into with Zeref, Lucy, and Natsu.

[tenkuunomiko]

Wendy cracked one of her eyes opened, while trying to maintain her body calmly. The pain still lingered all over her. The fight was over, but someone's voice also interrupted her silent thoughts. Her eyes widened at the stranger that was inspecting her, floating. Something about him made her completely uneasy, and Wendy shot up weakly to defend herself.

She didn't understand what he was saying... people of her kind showing up with natural magical abilities. Wasn't that always the case in Earthland? This wasn't Earthland, so the laws and such of magic must be different. She held one of her arms. Her eyes darted around for Charle, but she didn't see anything.

"...I don't--I don't understand."

She's confused and his appearance made her keep her guard, "...Wendy, Wendy Marvell of Fairy Tail."

[lostradiance]

Even though it was safer for Solaris to be with Jeb and Tori, she believed a small walk wouldn't hurt her too much. Besides, whatever kept her awake, the better. Contrary to popular belief, she didn't enjoy sleeping all day or even into the next night, for that matter. At least she had a reserve of medicine here to keep her somewhat normal.

The elemental happened upon the battered blue haired girl and looked her over while widening her eyes. "Oh, for Aviophiel's sake..."

She broke out into a small jog and skidded to her knees, kneeling down.

"Hey, hey! Are you hurt?"

[tenkuunomiko]

There is someone she doesn't know. Their smell was not someone of their world. She doesn't know how to respond, but they aren't hostile to her so Wendy keeps where she is while forcing herself to at least sit up. She nodded her head. She needed healing, but healing required magic. Wendy could just eat the air, and get her magic back but she would be drained if she healed herself here. She wouldn't be able to last with a healing spell.

Her magical energy was too weak for that right now, even with the air charging it. Healing took a lot of energy.

"A-Ah....I'm...okay."

She replied, slowly wobbling to a stand.

[lostradiance]

"No, you're not." The response seemed to be a little cold, but Solaris was weighing her options. If she was at her full strength, she would be able to heal normally. But, at the same time... She knew that Aviophiel would want her to do what she felt was right to save someone.

"Here, let me help."

She stood up to help stabilize Wendy as her hands glowed with a warm, ethereal light. To her, she supposed that since she hadn't fought in over a thousand years that she'd be okay exerting the energy needed to heal her wounds.

"It's okay. I don't mind doing this. You look like you've seen hell."

[tenkuunomiko]

Wendy's eyes widened at the stranger being able to heal her injuries with a strange warm glow. She didn't understand since Lost Magic was not easy to come by. Was she a mage? She didn't smell like the ones from Earthland-- from her world. Wendy didn't do anything to stop her, since what could she do to someone who was already offering to help her.

She softly thanked the girl for her help after a few moments of silence, "Th-Thank you..."

"It's nothing...really."

She's been through much more than this. It's not surprising for her to be indifferent about it.

[firstrose]

Suigintou spotted that body lying on the floor. A girl, almost a child. She looked horrible. Her clothes were torn and at first, it almost looked like she was dead. But as the doll came closer, she heard soft sounds coming from the girl, and was it... a name maybe?

Suigintou leaned over her face, poking at the girl's skin where it wasn't bruised.

"Hey... You're not going to die in the middle of the street, are you?"

That would lack style.

[tenkuunomiko]

Wendy moved to push herself up, upon hearing the voice of a stranger whose smell still differed from the ones she knew. She didn't understand what the girl was saying at first but she realized that her state might have caused surprise to some. She shook her head as she sat up, giving the girl a weak look.

"N-No...I'll be fine."

She replied giving her a reassuring answer. She only needed to heal herself, but that required magic. The air was more than enough, so she started to softly intake it into her body. The air here tasted different, and strange, but it was air, so it helped her.
