"Call me 'Miss' one more time and I'll shock you." Ellis said, as a couple arcs of electricity ran along her arm." Call me Ellis. Also, Rika is a bit miffed you kept getting her name wrong."

"She will." Amelia warned Jarvis." And you still have flour on your face."

"Anyway, why are you so scared Amelia? Why are you afraid to consider the guild your home?"

"...I'll just lose it like I lose everything else. Then I'll be left with nothing again."

Ellis just gave Jarvis a small, sad smile. She had tried to convince Amelia to stop that kind of thinking but obviously had little success. Maybe Jarvis could help her out.

Sayuri

She shakes her head and smiles at Penny sitting down again, "Penny nothing you said makes you sound like a horrible person. You just sound like someone who thinks they need to change to fit a role. Penny all you need is to be yourself. S-rank is just a title. All it means is your strong," watches her for several minutes before talking again, "So where would you like me to start? Family? My past? Some of my favorite things?"

His explosion did just what he thought, attracted a guild. Lucas, from under his hood saw their guild marks, Phoenix Wing. Another thing he noticed was that he was completely surrounded. Wood and timber could be heard moving, Lucas turned ever so slightly to see a beast, scavenging through the pile.

"Are you the one who did this?"

Lucas sighed, this is going to be a head ache. "This was nothing more than a mere accident, a slip up, a mistake. Don't stick you're business we're it isn't needed." He took off his hood to see everyone clearly, his cape flapping in the wind. "I know you're all wandering what happened." As he said this he picked up a beam, the guild members seemed to get uneasy, some readying up to fight. "Like i said, it was a mistake..." A flash began to appear at the end of his hand, then it exploded into tiny cubes, fading away. "I was looking for information on one Andrew Ryder. The man is extremely dangerous will not hesitate to kill you all. Phoenix Wing, i'm only going to ask you this one time, stay out of my way, or you will pay." He turned to put his hood on, then proceeded to walk into the direction of the God Slayer. "Anyway, seems as though you're needed elsewhere."

"And you must be held accountable for your little mistake." Nolan was sitting on top of a pile of broken timber with one leg folded the other as he looked down upon the white haired boy with his stoic glare. His hand laid on the hilt of his sword casually, as if he really wasn't taking this boy an ounce seriously at all. This boy had one hell of an attitude; while no one was threatening him he in turn decided to threaten them and needlessly showed off his magic like it was a pissing contest. "You're nothing more than a delusional brat that thinks that he can threaten a guild of wizards and walk away just because you happen to have some magic."

The God Slayer leaped off the pile and landed on the ground, his feet didn't even make a single sound. "Now come with us quietly and we can save some face. Threaten us again and we can't promise your safety. Be smart brat." He stated rather bluntly. Surely this kid wasn't stupid enough to think that he could fight all of these wizards, wizards that were notably of high rank and truthfully, only one of them was most likely needed to subdue the boy.

The Chimera's golden eyes watched the boy as he explained the situation, but to be honest it sounded more it was some sort of excuse. Considering not once was there a apology for said accident and even threatened to kill people. Quite rude quite rude. The beast easily got in front of the boy as he tried walking away. Damian could handle it, plus Master Rian said it was just plain rude to but into a man's fight unless he's being a total idiot and will only get his ass kicked enough to need help from a girly guy. Said it would ruin their pride or something.

"But it is kind of Phoenix Wing business. A lot of people were hurt and people needed help. That makes it our business unless you rather have the Knights investigate instead of fellow wizards." the beast said, sounding calm and friendly still. His mark wouldn't show because he was in his transformation magic, even if it did show up, it would be just covered up in the massive mane.

Almost not reacting to the explosion other then the mild swat with his tail to block any debris that launched to the crowd, he tilted his head. Feeling like the boy probably would be more comfortable when a giant massive beast wasn't talking, he transformed into his girly dressed human form and gave a pout. "You know, it's okay if it's a accident. Our Guild is pretty understanding and would probably would be willing to help you out with the person your looking for. It happens to all wizards. But you should say sorry for the mistake you made. And it isn't nice threatening to kill people ya know. Because if you say things like that to people just trying to help, then you're going to start walking he same path as that dangerous man you're looking for. Cause people like him probably don't own up to their mistakes, say sorry and take responsibility for it." the blonde said with a slight smile, but he did give his honest thoughts to the situation. He didn't believe anyone was truly evil, they just walked onto the their own road, taking maybe a darker turn somewhere. Of course, he didn't want to fight, but he would if anymore innocent people like many he see coming from the tavern were injured.

As the mystery man from earlier showed up, Karn looked toward him and smiled brightly and waved cheerfully. "Hiiii Mister~ Now now you don't need to go calling people names." he purred.

"This is our home we all are responsible for the innocent that have made this place home..." Amaya replied moving towards Lucas stepping? Between him and the God slayer. "Stand down so maybe we can speak on friendly terms...I really can't stand fighting nor do I want to see you get hurt for not listening to reason..you act like a caged tiger when no one has raised a hand to harm you. ..how about we keep it that way?" She asked putting her hood down shaking her head, letting her snow white hair swirl freely in the breeze while her ice blue eyes watched his every move with their soft gaze.

When the beast turned into it's human form, Lucas was unaware of what gender he or she is. But they had a good point, Lucas's mind was clouded and once he started to calm down and his powers we're in check he stopped and once again spoke, "I'm sorry for disturbance. And the attitude." He clenched his fists, trying to hold back his power. All he could think about was his father and how bad he needed to do what he was gonna do. His voice, sounded like it had no emotion, "I never wanted to hurt anyone in this accident." A girl stepped forward, taking off her hood and letting her wave in the wind with her light blue eyes watching him ever so slowly. I don't need these guys getting in the way, but they may be able to help me... Lucas walked over to the girl watching him, taking off his hood as he walked. "I'd offer a hand shake but my magic isn't always in my control. My name is Lucas Ryder, i'm looking for my father. Could I hire you're guild to track this man down? But if i have upset you're guild, I can continue tracking him down by myself, i just don't wanna have another 'mistake'" Lucas tried to focus on the girl in front of him but could only hear the fighting in the background, "Is he gonna be fine? Shouldn't we... i mean YOU guys help him?"

[Damian]

Damian saw the girl step into the area that he and the God Slayer were fighting in just a second too late and watched as a black lightning charged fist impacted her back and made her stumble towards him. He caught her and spun around her, summoning a blade shield just in time to catch the 120mm Black Lightning Cannon. Still, it caused him to slide back a couple feet, pushing the girl he'd shielded back as well. "Fighting from the shadows? Really doesn't seem your style, Janice." A taunting laugh echoed around him, but he focused on finding it's source, listening closely.

"With your fellow guild members so close by? I'm not foolish enough to try fighting you in the open. In fact, I came here to gi-" Her rant was cut short by Damian's Hermes blade missing her face by mere inches as she was forced to dodge by leaping backwards.

"Monologuing. Great tool for clearing away the confusion." Janice snarled and charged her fists with black lightning, swinging hard for Damian who blocked and countered quickly.

At first she was waiting for the other to appear when a sudden punch to the back sent her falling forward. The punch alone was something she wasn't accustomed to but the shock that accompanied it was not pleasant either. Thankfully she was caught and apparently shielded by Damien. By now she was quite confused as to what she should do. Taking a step to the side she tried to get an idea of where the girl that punched her was. "S-sorry. I didn't mean to get in the way."

She could hear a voice but couldn't see anything. Perhaps a little slow it probably took her longer than it should to figure out they were up against a lightning magic. "Oh my god, Ariel you're so stupid." She spoke to herself out loud briefly. Almost like a light bulb coming on she lifted her hands and twirled them around, a stream of water lashing outward in a spiral away from Damian and herself.

Karn's expression immiedietly brightened as the destruction wizard conceded and apologized for what happened, of course instantly accepting it and he couldn't help but hug the other boy with a happy hum. Already seeming to forgive him and totally ignoring the fact that this wizard's destructive magic was unstable and could blow him to pieces at any given moment.

"See? Makes everyone feel much better eh? My name is Karn, pleasure to meet you Destructo." the blonde giggled before stopping and promptly hugging Amaya as well as she came over and spoke to them. "Hi Dragon Girl!" he cheered happily before letting go as the destructive man wondered if he could hire the Guild for assistance.

"I'm sure you can. And if you have something with his scent, I bet me, Dragon Girl, or Zero-Kun and Zenny could track him down by scent, especially if he's nearby or something." he chirped before glancing toward the sound of Damian's battle and hummed.

"Well I'm not too worried. Dammy is fully charged today and he's a good fighter. He's probably have a easier time without us bumping heads so I'll just try and make sure they don't accidently start blasting people. The others might jump into it though." he responded, watching before his body tensed as a water spell was used, able to smell it and briefly see it.

Karn instantly started shaking, before promptly hiding behind Nolan, fingers gripping the man's shirt from around the ribs, having a iron grip meaning he had no intention in letting go even if the man struggled. Karn didn't know this man, but he must be of the Guild so therefore he hid behind the biggest sorta familiar person that was near him. Although he at least wasn't screaming, water spells were simply nerve wracking considering they had many more directions to go compared to just something like a river.

Jarvis chickled, turning the stew off, he found some bowls. "sorry, but I didn't know your name. And my lady just seems too formal" he said, "I got her name wrong? Well, the other day was a bit hectic, and I was more concerned with keeping everyone safe" he said.

He sighed at Amelia's comment and said "the guild isn't going anywhere, little one. It's stood strong for 15 years, and will continue to stand strong for many more years to come. You won't lose it" he spoke softly



Sasha nodded, rising, she thought for a minute. "it will probably be better to take the others with us too. In case we can get back to our world., or need the extra man power. Need to find wes too. I think if he's anywhere,
He will be in the Capitol." she shrugged



Penny sighed "I'm only strong because Not much can hold up against fire, can it?" she shook her head, and looked to Sayuri. "I don't know. Start where you want to start. I'm not good at any small talk really"



Master Jamie pursed her lips as she reached the area of destruction. He didn't interfer with what was happening, letting the members deal with the rogue magician. From what Jamie could gather, it was all a misunderstanding. She approached when The mage mentioned searching for someone.

"harassing the citizrns of magnolia will not find you what you want, but rather just enable the man you seek to hide. You should have come to us first? If you are incompetent in your magic, we could have helped you"

Jamie spoke in a soft voice, but it was necertheless carrying and intimidating, despite his small and cute stature at the moment

Why is he/she hugging me? I was a mere 'rogue' a moment ago. Alright, i now have their help. I'll get them to locate my father then i can finally kill them. Phoenix Wing wont interfere, guilds have an unspoken rule of following missions... A small male came up to Lucas, saying that they would've helped before he went berserk. "Well then, I need to leave. I'll be in touch with a request." He turned to walk away, winking at Amaya as he walked off putting on his hood. His hands were in his pocket and his blue cape flapped in the wind. Please don't get in my way Phoenix Wing. I'm too close to let anyone get in the way of this crusade.

"Hmmm. Well, I guess if you like it better. But, do come in if it's bad, Karn. You can come to my room." The young lady sighed softly, patting the boy lightly on the head before she heard him mentioned the job he'd been eying, himself. She looked through them and had a few in mind, but if there was one he wanted to do, that was fine with her. "'Nobody cares about the poor'?" Trinity echoed the name back to him before someone else caught his attention. She smiled softly to herself and went over to the job board to find the posting in question.

Her search was interrupted when Jamie shouted about a rogue mage. The response from the room seemed almost over the top, as multiple members, Karn included, left to go deal with it. And then Jamie followed. "... Aah... what kind of guild did I join again?" She sighed softly before turning back to the job board, scrutinizing it.

"Ah, here it is." She carefully picks the page from the board, giving it a good read. "The Council and the local law enforcement both refuse to act due to a lack of evidence. Yeah, that's how bureaucracy works, unfortunate as it is. But, from the seems of it..." She carefully folds the page and slips it into a fastening pocket on her robes. She conjures only her quiver onto her back as she leaves the guild hall, seeking the destroyed tavern they all headed to.

As they minstrel arrives on the scene, she could only appreciate the damage done. "Wooow. Was it like this when you guys got here, or was this collateral?" The minstrel steps through what little remains of a doorway, and it gives way as she leans against it, lightly as she does. She catches herself quickly and briefly looks to investigate where it broke.

She spots the odd kid (Jamie) amongst them and beelines for him, stooping down to pick him up from behind with her arms around his waist. "Oooh, what's a kid like you doing in a ruined building? It's not a safe place to play, y'know."

And at that exact moment Nolan's mind went completely blank, completely forgetting about the existence of the brat that destroyed an entire tavern by accident with his destructive magic. The only thing that he could comprehend was this woman was...touching him, her hands held his ribs with an iron grip. His mouth hung open dumbly, but not a sound was coming out. Inside he was screaming in complete, utter terror at not only being so close to a woman, but being touched by her. Again, his perspiration rolled down his head in not in the form of beads. It seemed more like a river running down his head and down his neck as his body shook hard enough to put a jackhammer to shame. His eyes became totally blank as they stared off as if he had the thousand yard scare, like he had looked into the future and saw the apocalypse or in his case, seeing himself trapped in a Victoria's Secret commercial.

"For the love of what is sacred let go of me you spawn of Satan!" Is what he wanted to say. Instead what he said was, "Humanahumanahumanahumanahumanahumana."

Foam started to pour out of his mouth and then fainted, the foam still poured out of his mouth as Nolan's body weight forced both Karn and him down to the ground leaving the feminine blonde on the ground while the fainted Nolan laid on top of him. The foam coming from his mouth still poured from his mouth, the sound of him gurgling could be heard.

"Mama wasn't going anywhere... then she died." Amelia said before turning around on the spot and leaving.

Ellis sighed before turning to Jarvis.
"She has... difficulty in believing anything good is permanent. After all, anything she's had that can be considered good has been taken away from her. Her parent abandoned her. A supposed sactuary turned out to be fake. And I died only a few years after she met me... right when she was starting to think I was going to be around for a long time." She said before letting out a sigh." You'll have to take your time with her. It's a slow uphill battle but one you can win.

Give her a few minutes to herself. In the meantime, do you care to share a bit about yourself? I'd like to know about the man my daughter has grown a bit attached to."

Always quick with an expressive face, Fleo raised her eyebrows. Personally, she would have been happy to accept Lucas's proffered explanation for the destruction of the bar, her nativity in combination with her optimism keeping her from regarding the young man with undue suspicion. Of course, explanations would do about as much to repay the ruined building as would apologies, not that the latter were, from Lucas, forthcoming. Then Lucas went and asserted himself, promising vengeance on any member of PheonixWing that dared to interpose herself in his little quest. That action alone cost him some respect from Fleo. Normal people, even ones who had harmful magical accidents, didn't go saying things like that. When Lucas obliterated the beam, Fleo took it as an invitation to battle, and the coat of dust on the cobblestones about her rose up once more, forming into eddies that circled her.

Evidently, her guildmembers felt the same way. A young man whose name Fleo had only recently discovered to be Nolan wasted no time in jumping down the white-haired boy's throat. The dusty woman rolled her eyes. Even someone unskilled in the art of personal relations could tell that meeting surliness and pride with bad temper only made a situation like this worse. Of all things, the chimera then attempted to defuse the situation. Karn's reversion to his human form surprised Fleo enough to loosen the muscles in her jaw, though it did not calm the flow of dust. A few seconds passed before she could shake her head in resignation. Of course this guild would have a man who dressed like a girl who could turn into a giant beast, and of course he would hug foul-tempered Nolan. Her thoughts then refocused on the problem at hand

Fortunately, it seemed like she wouldn't have to duel in her exhausted state. Faced with Nolan's threats, Amaya's reason, Karn's disarming weirdness, and the mere presence of everyone else, Lucas seemed to back down. Fleo allowed her hands to slip back into her pockets, a hopeful smile gracing her face. Though it was no longer needed, Fleo kept up the swirling dust around her for fun. That, or she had simply forgotten it—years and years of unconscious use of her magic in one way or another made low-level usage easy to miss. Her attention fixated upon the true fight nearby. She recognized among the tumult the platinum blond hair of Damian, but the woman who he engaged rang no bells. Anyone who wielded black lightning with such ferocity, and furthermore could go toe-to-toe with Damian in a serious fight, was not to be trifled with even for someone as impulsive as Fleo. She grudgingly admitted that Karn was right: to interfere would be to cramp the style of Pheonix Wing's Blade. It seemed, however, that someone didn't get the memo: an elegantly dressed young lady with skin the color of coffee, who wielded a water spell in her attempt to help Damian. Frowning again, Fleo began to approach the dueling wizards, wondering if she might be able to lend her help after all.

“Some jerk wrecked it, but he said it was an accident. So I guess it was like that when we got here,” she told Trinity as the minstrel walked past. Fleo turned to continue only to find her progress stymied by a sudden outburst behind her. She whirled around, dust flurrying around her like a gusty winter breeze, and beheld Nolan lying, comatose and foaming at the mouth, on Karn. Despite the gravity of the confrontation now behind her, the dusty woman could not help but laugh. “Looks like your fashion sense was nightmarish enough to send Tough Guy Nolan into a seizure, Karn!” she teased. She spared a glance at the intense battle between swords, electricity, and water, and her merriment evaporated. “Should I get involved in the fight, or should I try to carry Nolan back to the guild hall? So far my unconscious-guildmate-gathering record is better than my combat record in Pheonix Wing. I could stop for pancakes on the way...” An arc of voltage the color of the night sky smashed into a sidewalk tree, superheating the resin below the surface and blowing off all of the tree's bark in an instant. “Hmm.” Fleo stood roughly forty feet from where the duel currently raged. Surely, if her guildmates needed help, they would ask for it...?

Sayuri

"Your strength comes from more than just what magic you use Penny. You are strong even without your magic. It takes more than powerful magic to be named S-rank especially if Jamie approves. You need to stop doubting yourself," looking around she sighs before continuing, "Let's start with basic stuff then. I'm 18, I've lived with my father for my whole life, We almost constantly on the road and never stayed in one place for long until he was asked to join the council, and I don't have many friends. I have an odd combination of intrests. One of my favorite things to do is fight, though I also enjoy reading and drawing..."

Master Jamie didn't have a chance to say anything to the unknown Mage, before Trinity picked her up. Jamie gave an indignant squeak, and tried to get away. Jamie had never consider the fact that he would be mistaken so much for a child, that some would actually pick her up.

"Trinity! Put me down, this instance!" Jamie said, in an, in mild annoyance, unmistakably adult voice through a child's mouth, crossing their arms over their chest, and shifting slightly to look at Trinity, their guild mark visible on their bare arm, their strange, bird birthmark seen on his hand just before she crossed his arms.

Jamie could, of course, just change his shape to his normal form, but that had the risk of hurting Trinity. "I am not a child, and even if I was, I've been in more dangerous situations then this in my own childhood"



Penny sighed softly. She shook her head and said quietly, "You will probably get on better with Sasha. I have no patience for drawing, nor do I really read. While I enjoy fighting, it isn't something I relish" she shrugged, looking up at the sky. "I just enjoy flying. To be able to go anywhere, when I want? Its a freedom I craved since I was a child"



Jarvis watched Amelia go, sighing softly. What could he say, or do, to make her see that nothing was going to happen? He didn't know. "The trouble isn't in the fact that she thinks people will be ripped away from her. Its in her thinking she can't protect them, when she can, and has. Like she did the other day" He looked to Ellis, and sighed again. "There isn't much to share, really. I had a daughter before." he didn't say anything more on that subject, but rather busied himself with dishing out the stew.

"I met Jamie when we were both teenagers, or close to it that it doesn't matter. We formed a team, and then, eventually, formed the guild. And its become more then either of us thought it would, I think"

Zero sighed after listening to her. At least now he got a better idea of Mithera's thoughts even if they were better relayed through this woman. "Nah. I don't need to talk to her." He said calmly as he kicked his feet up onto the table. "So... Um... Why the hell do you think so many people left? I mean even Karn. You'd think one or two would have been fine or something." He said calmly as he shook his head. He still wasn't entirely sure on this whole guild thing. "Geez... Okay so maybe it's been a little more interesting around here. But I kind of miss my old sparring partner." He yawned a bit. He needed to find someone else to talk to and spar. Karn wasn't really gonna cut it. And he wasn't about to use his magic to fight Mithera. But that didn't matter much. Zenoram was what mattered.

"Well, this little talk was helpful. I'm gonna go find Karn. You know... Make sure the weirdo hasn't hurt himself or something." The young dragon slayer said as he stood up. "And listen. I don't know much about you, but you're pretty cool. Maybe you should consider sticking around. It'd probably be good for you and Mithera and maybe Karn... Though... In his case even an ant joining the guild would be amazing..." He chuckled a bit and laughed as he began to walk to the door. He wasn't in any particular hurry. Enough people should have been there to handle anything that might come up. In fact he was banking on running into Karn while the feminine male was on his way back to the guild.

Karn blinked a little as Nolan once again started freaking out and sweating a river again. Before the blonde could react, the bigger man fell backward and on top of the feminine male, foam running at the mouth like some dog with rabies.grunting as he was practically crushed underneath the bigger sweaty man, the blonde flailed a little, but that did little to move the fainted wizard. As Fleo laughed and joked with him, Karn gave a playful huff.

"But I was told I look better in these clothes. At least by that odd guy." he laughed before transforming into his Chimera form, looking down as the much bigger form looked at the figure passed out on his belly. His tail flicked and wrapped itself around the man's waist and lifted him up so Karn could roll onto his feet and stand up once again. Nose curling a little at the smell of sweaty man, he stuck out his tongue.

"Awe.. I'm going to need a tongue bath after this." he whined a little before grinning. "Don't worry Dusty! I'll take him back! Make sure everyone's okay." Karn chirped, setting the unconscious man on his back before started heading back toward the Guild. Steps quick and fluid before skidding to a halt as he spotted Zero and Zenoram, in which case the beast cheerfully charged toward him.

"Hiiiii Zero-kun! Zenny!" Karn greeted before skidding to a stop in front of the dragon slayer, happily nudging his muzzle against the man's shoulder in greeting.

"Decided to go look too?" he chirped, tilting his head.
