[Somewhere in the woods of Fayren, a small Elin was busy toiling away on a project she was secretly working on for who knows how long.

A treehouse!

And it will be amazing!

Well, okay. Right now, it only has the foundation and a ladder. There's only so much a little Elin can do by herself. While Tatlyn was in the "tree house," looking over what to start with next, she hears slow creaking.

Then before she knows what happens next, the floor falls out from under her. She screams as she fell, hitting the ground with a this. Wood and boards fall all around her.

She's not hurt badly, she was able to get back to her feet.]

Grrr... What went RAWNG here? This makes me howling mad. Awoooooo~!

[That was one childish howl but at least she feels better. At least until she hears footsteps.]

Now what?

[The video clicks on from atop a dresser, with a wide view of Uai’s Fayen bedroom. In the background: Utter chaos. Uai (blue)  is holding human Hana’s (purple) arm in one hand, while the other holds a purple toothbrush as menacing as one can hold a toothbrush.]

I told you to brush your teeth every day! You’re going to get cavities!

[Meanwhile on the other side of the ring, Hana is chomping at him, bumbles and grumbles that was garbled from leftover toothpaste attempts]

I won’t GET cavities! I’m not a person, I’m a dragon, and my teeth are NOT rocks..! Toothpaste tastes too good to rinse out toooooo…

[Uai squints at her.] We’re not taking chances with your teeth and all of that sugar you eat. A sweet tooth is fine. Rotting teeth are not. [He holds out the toothbrush.] I can’t believe I’m babysitting you.

[Hana tried to swat the toothbrush out of Uai’s hand like a cornered big cat] 

This isn’t even my real form! If I really wanted to brush I would have to be myself...but we can’t. Too small in here. Like you said in the first place so.. [cue sticking her tongue out, but not before licking her teeth from the delicious paste.

At that, Uai makes 5 more tubes of toothpaste materialize between his fingers, like a confused dentist ninja.] Then let’s bring this outside. We have enough for your true form.

[He regards the camera, frowning.] Can someone please explain to her what a cavity is, before she gets one?

( tags will come from Hana/draconixaviarix (purple) & Uai (blue)  )

[So, Karla's heard that this will be David Haller's last term as Guardian. While she can't fault him for it because he's worked long and hard, and he deserves his rest, it's already making her question her own future. What will it mean for her as a Deputy? Would she have to step down? Could she step up and become a Guardian? She doubts it.] But maybe if she had someone at her side?

I'm...curious about something. Do you think it would be wiser to have more than one Guardian for each city? It seemed to happen for a while in Nova City after Weiss stepped down. Perhaps no more than two. The Deputy system is effective, I think, so there's no reason to change that.

Anyway...what are your opinions?

Who: Mavis Vermillion, Shota Aizawa and anyone who happens to be at Fairy Haven.
Where: Fairy Tail's headquarters (aka Fairy Haven) in Fayren.
When: Backdated to May 10th, end of the afternoon.
What: Shota comes to meet with Mavis further to this conversation to see what possible job he could be suited for in Fayren.
Warning: None for now. Will update if needed.

Mavis had come back to Fairy Haven after a long day of Guardian's duties, feeling tired but accomplished.

As she was waiting for her visitor, the Hero course teacher named Shota Aizawa, the young-looking guild master was sitting on a low wall by the entrance of the guild hall's main building, her small bare feet dangling gently in the air.

She was holding a rather big stemmed glass full of vanilla and strawberry icecream, with fresh strawberries and meringues on top that she was tasting with obvious delight. Sitting right next to her, a Pokémon was trying to steal some strawberry and cream with his trunk.

The little thief managed to remain unnoticed for quite a while until two green eyes finally fell on him and his cream-covered mouth. Mavis good-naturedly burst out laughing... and gave him a few more strawberries.

"All you needed was ask, you know."

The Pokémon managed a sheepish expression before he hastily swallowed the offered fruits.

Attleton may not have a beach but thanks to its determined mayor, it has recently gained one very important feature no beach town should have to do without: It has a boardwalk.

And what a magnificent boardwalk it is! It is made of wood and properly raised to protect the tender feet of strolling visitors from all that non-existent water. Openings for stores and restaurants line the boardwalk, but today they are taking the backseat while a different event has sprawled over all that open space. Large banners and signs everywhere welcome visitors to the Attleton Neighborhood Watch's Fundraiser Fair - celebrate Attleton and support the Neighborhood Watch!

A large number of booths is crowding the boardwalk, and since there is no actual beach on either side of it, the festivities are sprawling out from the boardwalk proper into the surrounding landscape.

Before you even climb the stairs of the walkway to the boardwalk proper, you will be passing by archery and fire magic displays, which had to be put at a distance from the other activities to ensure everyone's safety, while on the boardwalk itself tables have been set up at which you can buy Attleton's famous apple pie or lovingly crocheted lace doilies. Maybe you would rather try your luck throwing rings or knocking down tin cans with balls? Small prizes of toys and Attleton souveniers await the lucky winners.

Even other towns are represented, impressive displays by the Nova City Museum and Planetarium will provide for those who hunger more for scientific knowledge than snacks, while Fayren's famous Fairy Tail is wowing the crowd with their illusion magic.

A small merry-go-round has drawn a crowd of children eager for their turn, while more are gathered by the Guardian Office's stall - a cleared area where a dozen or so pokemon frolic around and some even let themselves be petted with long-suffering patience. But if you're looking for petting, nothing beats the Puppy Prison's contribution just a little further along - more puppies than in your wildest dreams, cuter than you can believe.


[OOC: Feel free to make a top-level for your booth/stall/activity - even if you didn't respond to Cassian's volunteers wanted post, you can just go ahead and handwave that they volunteered. Or make a top-level as a visitor to the fair, and tag other people. Basically, just go wild with this and have fun! (And donate generously to the Neighborhood Watch!)]

 [public video]
[Despite that scary top icon, Uai is smiling for this public video segment. He's settled in his Fayren apartment with some empty notebooks, the plain white sheets being visible in the camera frame.]

Hello, everyone. I'm not interrupting your weekend, am I? My name is Uai. I'm used to traveling between worlds, but this is my first time being captured in one. I was hoping to hear more about the worlds all of you come from. I somehow doubt we're all even from the same multiverse, so it would be interesting to hear what is "normal" for you all. For myself, Attleton and Genessia are the closet I've come to 'home.' What about you?

[semi-private action / forests of Fayren]

(( OOC before I delve into this: This action prompt involves Uai being villainous. HOWEVER: Please do not treat this is a wide-area thing. If you want to get involved in attacking Uai's monsters, please PM me or hmu on plurk. I'm very friendly and open, but I don't want to be balancing 100 fight threads. Thanks so much~! ;v; ))
( Action Under Cut! )

[So this brat hasn't been seen in awhile. She's been content with her job so she had no reason to post nonsense on the network.

Yet, this time, here she is with a messy room. Looks like a forest if a bear had ran through it.]

Hey, hi, hello, what up, quick question...

[The little wolf girl holds up a copy of the Genessia Tribune.]

How do you get the paperboy to stop throwing things through windows with unnatural accuracy again? One shot caused a cascade effect that knocked almost everything over.

Do you know how hard it is to decorate a room after a treehouse? Pretty damn hard when you want natural materials.

[When the feed clicks on, Alexstrasza can be seen with what appears to be a rough charcoal sketch of what appears to be blueprints for a building stretched out on a table to her side, and a thoroughly charred hunk of meat on a bone in her free hand with a bite taken out of it.]

I have a question for those of the younger denizens of this place. I wish to create a place where anyone not of age can stay without fear of needing to dedicate their own resources to their room and board. However, I've not yet settled on a location, and would like to ask where the most convenient place to build such a sanctuary would be.

{ For several seconds, the video just shows a gratuitous close-up of somebody's face, as if the person using it has absolutely no idea what he's doing. The screen goes in and out of focus as various settings are adjusted. There's the sound of a few frustrated groans, until at last... }

Oh... it's like a lacrima, then.

{ At last, the picture zooms out, and the bouncing stabilizes as the device is put on a desk. The video shows a young boy who may or may not look familiar to others; the black hair, featureless black eyes, and pouty expression might, however. }

Umm... hi...

{ The boy shyly says, as he adjusts the robe around his small frame. It's several sizes too big, and it looks like he's tied several cords around the sleeves, waist, and midsection as makeshift belts. }

Has anyone seen my notebook? It's, um... really thick, has a leather cover... it has my entire thesis on the connection between ethernano, the afterlife, and the soul, and details my hypothesis on how ethernano can be used to replicate the process of a soul being born into organic matter, and how twenty-seven million magical spheres can be combined and used for the process of...

{ If nobody interrupts him, he's just going to keep listing every single arcane, slightly morbid hypothesis and theory pertaining to his research. If nobody interrupts him and chooses to listen, all of his magical research has a recurring theme: Subverting the natural process of life and death, and using magic to bring the dead back to life. And he's not talking about necromancy, but true resurrection.

If one looks closely, the entire wall behind him has been defaced. Hundreds of mathematical equations, magical runes, and what looks like hieroglyphics of a long-dead language cover the entire wall behind him; apparently, he ran out of paper, and just used the wall to continue reconstructing his research notes, until he ran out of room, there, too. }

WHO: Mavis, Naoki and OPEN to Zeref, Tatlyn, Mira, Erza and Jack.
WHAT: Further to this discussion between Mirajane and Naoki, Naoki discovered the existence of the mage guild named Fairy Tail. He decides to come to Fairy Haven and see if he'd like to become a member of their crazy family join the guild.
WHEN: February 12th, 2018 - end of the afternoon.
WHERE: Fayren - Fairy Haven.
WARNING: None that comes to mind.
OTHER: Feel free to create new threads or to threadjack, it's a FT-stlyle log. ;) No posting order as of now. Will change if needed.

( Because half-demons take interviews too )

A-A-AH CHOO!

[The video feed shows Mirajane Strauss practically buried in blankets, tissues overflowing in the wastebasket beside her, and a half-eaten bit of toast next to her.]

Sowwy ebewyone. I habe to take a leabe of absence fow a while.

[She honks rather loudly into her next tissue clearing her sinuses a little and clearing her throat with a raspy cough.]

Sorry about that. As I said I'll have to take a few sick days from bar-tending for a little while, but I should return before Valentine's day. I'm terribly sorry I've been gone for so long, but I have not been doing well at all. Have I missed much in my time apart from all of you? I seem to remember being frozen into a block of Ice and that seems to be the cause of my current malady.

I'd like to thank everyone who has been looking after me these past few weeks, and I hope you're all having a better day than I am.

(Private to Erza)

I'd like to especially thank you Erza. You've been a true friend, and a great girlfriend.

[She offers Erza a playful wink... which might be slightly ruined by the wheezing cough afterwards, but Mirajane tries to laugh it off in good cheer.]

(Private to Mavis)

I'm so sorry I've been so absent lately, I hope you're not disappointed in me.

(ooc: Hi everyone, I'm back from my hiatus and I'd like to make an apology for my crummy health. The entire month of January was pretty bad for me, and I didn't get a single day of RPing in. I hope to come back more with my other characters to, but I figured I should start with my muse who's most active in the community.)

[The feed kicks on to a little wolf girl in a spacious room decorated with hanging plants and flower-shaped lamps. Yep, she turned Fairy Haven's infirmary into a jungle.

She has with her a book, old looking, probably. Just as likely she dropped it. But more importantly, it's a book.

Of course, she gives it a puzzled look and puts it down. It's not important.]

Hello everyone, I am Tatlyn and I noticed some people are being sour dour Debbie downers or getting overly excited over this Fallen Pine's Day thing coming up, so I wanted to talk about it.

The grumps have a point and so do the lovey-dovies. I wanted to start with that. But nobody should be giving a lecture about who, what, where, when and why this day should be celebrated. We all come different worlds and cultures and we are entitled to celebrate them. And as long as we all share the same land under the same sky, that should be respected.

Fallen Pine's Day doesn't have to be all about love and romance and procreation, though. It's a feast as well. And there are many things to celebrate. Friends, family, food...

Anyways. So, Genessians all, talk to me. Tell me about what plans you have on the fourteenth. Or the sixth day of the seventh month, if you follow some other calendar. What about life or death will you celebrate and, if applicable, with whom?

Me, personally? I'm probably gonna go for a run around the woods and play my tin whistle for the guild.

[Mavis appears on screen for the first time this week. She seems calm and focused but not as smiling as usual. Maybe because this has been a difficult week, full of sad news.]

Hi. Guardian Mavis Vermillion talking.

For people inside or outside of Fayren, please keep clear of the Royal Castle and of the Ivory Tower until further notice. This is for your own safety.

I wish to protect all of you as I commited to do but I can't do so if people act on their own and take inconsiderate risks.

[She's been made aware of the rescue missions organized by people outside of Fayren and it clearly only made it worse.]

Please also report any of your acquaintance who might have been turned into ice statues. We'll send healers your way. [Or they will at least find a safe place to keep them until the magic that's affecting them is broken.]

Also I have the regret to inform you that Sir Dorian Pavus appears to have left Genessia. This means that the position of Light Magic Instructor of Fairy Tail is now vacant. If you're interested, feel free to contact me or any resident of Fairy Haven. We'll contact you back as soon as possible. [Which means probably when all the nonsense is over.]

Thanks you for your attention. Please feel free to contact me directly or any of Fayren's Deputy Guardians, namely Erza Scarlet, Alice Margatroid, Qubine and Konoka Konoe, should you have any question or concern regarding the ongoing situation.

[A small smile and a nod before she cuts the feed.]

( Private video message to all Fayren Deputy Guardians )

( Private video message to all Guardians )

( Private text message to Zeref, Jack and Tatlyn )

Who: Tatlyn, Aeslyn, OTA for some reason
Where: Fayren
When: January 15th

[First a blizzard and then a blizzard? Elin were not meant to be kept locked up inside buildings. They were meant to run free! After making her "escape" from Fairy Haven, Tatlyn went on the most bizarre tantrum, hoping over mounds of snow as she makes a wolf-shaped indentation on the other side, then repeat.

Anyone bold enough to even be outside in Fayren, or even looking out the windows, will see this wolf girl jumping out of deep snow like some kind of fish. Finally, she had just about enough of this snow. She grabbed her staff from my backpack and stabbed it into the ground, unleashing a small burst of energy to create a geyser of snow.

Only for it all to fall back down and bury her. After a few moments, she pokes her head out from the snow. Still, she tries to fight the snow, heading towards the local forge now that she was getting tired.]

What -huff- is with -huff- this SNOW! -Huff- This is -huff- massive horsesh--

[Spotting something in the distance, she immediately ducks into the snow and burrows towards another direction to get out of the way. She wouldn't dare try to peek, even if she was freezing her tail off at this point.]

WHO: Mavis, Tatlyn, Erza, Mira and anyone who happens to be at Fairy Haven at that time.
WHAT: Mavis and Tatlyn discussed during the blizzard of the possibility of Tatlyn becoming Fairy Tail's resident healer. They agreed that Tatlyn would come over to Fairy Haven once the storm is over so that she could demonstrate her healing magic and meet the rest of the gang guild.
WHEN: Slightly backdated to January 7th, 2018.
WHERE: Fayren - Fairy Haven.
WARNING: None that comes to mind.
OTHER: Feel free to create new threads or to threadjack, it's a FT-stlyle log. ;) No posting order as of now. Will change if needed.

( So whistle while you work! )

[She who has suspicious Christmas cookies is sitting by the fireplace at a nice, cozy inn. What a way to spend a blizzard.]

I feel like I dodged a bullet here. See, I built a little den out in Fayren's woods before the Father Winter decided to give us the middle finger, and now all this snow collapsed the only thing I had to a home.

But thanks to a certain someone...
[Takumi.]
...I can spend a month at this inn while I look for a job. You know how hard it is to find a job when all you can do is preach, heal, gather herbs, clean house and play a tin whistle?

If not for this sweetie of a friend...
[Definitely Takumi.]
...I probably wouldn't survive long out there.

[She paused a moment, her wolf ears twitch in thought.]

By the way, is anyone in need of someone, an Elin, perhaps, who has the aforementioned skills?
