Isla surprisingly turned around to face a handsome looking man. Deep inside she was smiling in pure evil but on the outside she tried acting cuter than ever before to get this man to help her. She innocently smiled at the man while slowly turning herself around by jumping on one of her feet "No, no. That would make me be too much of a bother for you. I can't accept your help of your own kindness. That would make me a bad person! But if you're really eager to help me I won't complain. You'll need to accept my reward though otherwise it won't be fair to me." She brightly smiled at the man and kindly accepted his help. She turned her face towards the booth "You see, I made this painting of a man for the lover of the man who wanted to get her lover painted but she didn't like it. She stated that the painting didn't show the man his true greatness." Isla looked down at the street and began talking softer as her voice saddened "Then she wanted me to see what would happen when I didn't obey her. She used magic to paralys my leg for the rest of my life and ran off with the painting without paying." Isla her eyes grew wet and started to produce tiny tears that fell down towards the street "And now I need to live with this leg always like this." Her tears streamed down faster and faster "I only wanted to make some money for my job but now this is what I got. I'm a failure as painter. And on top of that my nicest work is outside and can be stolen or ruined by the weather any moment. I'm broke, I have to live in the dumps and get my food from stupid trashcans."



Ayame gave a small nod at Nero his words She eagerly waited for Nero to do his thing and yes, it finally happened. At first it all looked like nothing had happened but when time passed by Eve began to grow in width. Ayame shocked back from the sudden body change of Eve. Ayame was startled by the fact that Eve became rounder and fuller and also the fact that her clothes began falling apart. As soon as the transformation was finished Ayame stayed quite. She wasn't fond of Eve her new looks but wasn't in protest of it either. If she liked her new body it was fine but it seemed weird wanting to be fatter then the average human being. Normal people would fine it a disgrace being fat but Eve was the exact opposite. Ayame somehow admired that fact but kept refraining from talking while Nero spoke about the benefits of being rounder. Ayame kept staring at Eve who seemed to be enjoying her body. She didn't think it was fair to do something like that to Eve and wanted to be equal with her. She glanced over at Nero and quietly adressed him "Nero..."

She looked away for a moment to avoid eye contact and carefully looked over at him in time before speaking. "B-before we do anything, we c-came here to talk. I-I just wanna say that I'm s-sorry for k-keeping away that I'm a mage t-too. I-if you hadn't noticed I-I can use doll m-magic but this i-is more of a o-obstacle then c-convinance. S-so I won't be using it more than n-necessary." Ayame looked at the ground for a second and sighed before looking up again "S-secondly, E-eve shouldn't be the o-only one with a disadvantage i-in normal life. T-things are b-build in this world for the average human. S-so there are only a few people with a disadvantage and t-those are the fatter, taller and disabled people m-mostly t-there still are m-more. They a-are put up with h-hitting their head or not f-fitting into a door or n-not being able to walk down s-stairs. S-so when you make Eve one of these e-exceptions I-I don't think it's f-fair. Give m-me something t-that makes m-me equal to her by any m-means. A-appearance or s-special limbs that aren't suppose to be t-there. Anything is fine. A-as long as it's r-reasonable." Ayame turned quiet once again and looked at the wall to the side of her to avoid any more awkwardness.

@YipeeXD
(Quick reply for you since you are on, I'll get to everyone else later!)

Sasha

Sasha shook her head, looking at Shujin, not Lazarus. She took a moment before replying "time lord isn't going to betray us, and if you think he is, then you aren't going to be any help. It's called Trust, Shujin. Time Lord...is doing everything he can to stop something" she was sure on that, and paused for a brief second to wonder why. "and frankly, if he were to betray us, I don't need your help. If I need help, I have Lazarus. I have Marlene. I have my team, my guild. I'd go to them first, always." she said, "I'll do what needs to be done. But I won't be doing it because you say I should, or because you want it your way. I would have thought by now that you would see, I always get my way." that wasn't true, but it sounded better then sometimes. She didn't look away, "as your way seems to backfire. But I'm doing this with my guild. And that is that." she shook her head again, "I don't betray people who ask for my help, and that's what you are suggesting. So either shut up, or get lost" it didn't matter that time lord hadn't asked her for anything. She wouldn't betray him simply on Shujins whims.

Shujin

He shook his head. "Fine. I'll be going along anyway. If he betrays us, then you're on your own... or didn't you know? Only those with the blood of fairy tail inside them can go to the island... that's what he told me." He looked at Lazarus. "I'm not even sure others will be taken."

A laugh of sincerity filled the room, it made Eve feel warm inside to find the laughter coming from Nero, and it would have been very surprising if it had come from Ayame. It had seemed that her comments about the sudden change of her physique was the culprit, and even though she was fine with her new body, she did truly wonder why Nero had turned her into such a portly lady. He had soon started to explain the changes that she would be facing with her new body, and he made it sound that it would be a wondrous occasion. Being strong wasn't always a priority for the frail girl, but she assumed that with her added strength would make it easier to take a punch or throw a punch, though she couldn't imagine any scenario in which she would need to implement such a violent act or receive one as well. Eve did like the feeling of making people smile, so maybe her presence will bring a greater aura of happiness? Is that how it works? Oh, and finding a comfortable place to sit would be rather nice, her lanky body always did find it rather painful to be sitting on something hard as not much muscle or fat cushioned her bones on hard surfaces. The one about other girls did strike her odd, when did other people ever see her as a rival? She always knew that some people didn't like each other sometimes, but other people always tended to act nice around her when she didn't smell like rotting flesh and covered in muck. However, the last statement left by Nero did make her face flush just a bit more than her already rose tinted checks.

The Necromancer giggled before speaking to Nero, "Scamp, I think you're too smooth for your own good, I'm going to have to get you back after those flattering words," She eyed Nero with a joking smile on her face, "I think it would be fair if Ayame chose where we would be going, you took us to a shop, and I took us here! So, where do you want to take us Ayame?"

It didn't take long for Ayame to voice her opinion, though it wasn't anything about her question. The little girl seemed to go on about something, something about being disadvantaged? Eve didn't really put thought into it, but she was pretty sure there were some problems that came to being this size. She always remembered that Mrs. Porter did get tired after playing with her for a short period of time, and she remembered there were about three more snack times than usual at her place. Eve mentally shrugged at these problems, she just couldn't run very fast and she needed to eat a bit more, nothing too bad at the moment. What bad thing could possibly happen with her body? Although, by the end of Ayame's speech, the Necromancer couldn't help but fail to hold back a snicker. "Ayame, I think I'll be fine with this change, I'll promise to make sure I'll make sure that I won't hurt myself too bad, but I don't need you to change just to feel equal. Mrs. Porter always said that everyone is born equal, and stays that way. It is just the people that think their differences make them superior over others that make them ding-dongs."

@hatakekuro
Well now that was unexpected. Nolan clearly saw her but didn't seem to react much. What was the deal? In fact the most she got from him was a light blush. "What's different? That doesn't really tell me much. Are you... are you blushing?" Well if Nolan's behavior wasn't odd before this definitely was. Raising a hand she felt the God Slayer's forehead. "Are you sick or something, because you're not acting yourself?"

For the time being Ariel was actually unaware of any magical presence, even one standing right next to her. Whatever state she was in was a lot more firm than any of her magics. The Edolasian blood in her vains had returned with vengeance and blocked any use of magic for her. Ariel was as normal as the majority of the population. A welcome relief given the circumstances.

@YipeeXD
Sasha just smiled and leaned back, the history buff that she was, she just said simply "you're wrong. We can find it, bur others can come with us. It was fairy tails holy ground, but it didn't banish those without guild marks on it, or..." she trailed off, her eyes widening as she finished that sentence in her mind, or lamia scale, blue paegus and saber tooth wouldn't have been able to help in taking down Zaref and achnoliga. How did she know that? Where did it come from? Her eyes widened even further, as she realized what that meant, and she looked to Lazarus, and said "we have to find time lord, now!" she said, seeming to have forgotten about Shujin. She wanted answers, and Time Lord had them

No matter how Argus wove through the crowds down below, the keen, feral eyes of a War Sphinx could keep a bead on him. Ni Rensa remained on rooftops, utilizing a very catlike agility to leap between buildings, shimmy across ropes, cables, and clotheslines, and to catapult herself with metal antenna. There was a 0% chance of losing her this way. Still, Ni had to wonder: was this merely the first phase of some advanced trick? Demons were, after all, legendary for their ruses, gambits, and cunning. Nevertheless she kept up the pace, and was tailing Argus by less than fifty yards when he regained the rooftops.

Those golden eyes watched closely as Argus unslung some lacrima and tossed them behind as he fled. To Ni, it looked like nothing more than smoke, but she wasn't about to charge in blindly and risk losing her clothes as Marlene had. Instead, the War Sphinx hunkered down before springing, sailing clean over the smoke and landing on the opposite side. Unfortunately for her ensuing elation, she failed to get a purchase on the roof with her bladed shoes, and slid right off the edge into the street just as Argus leaped, smirking, from a broken window across from her. Though an unorthodox and jarring landing left Ni a little worse for wear, she arrived at the ground approximately at the same time as Argus, and shouted in triumph, ”I have you nyow!”

The very next instant, a hairbrush bopped her on the head. Ni flinched visibly, almost falling over in a mixture of pain and fright, and looked to the sky to see a wardrobe plummeting straight toward her. Yowling, Ni instinctively summoned her axe and wildly swung it in a semicircle arc, partially cutting and partially crushing the wooden container and sending it flying off to the side in a hail of splinters. ”Son of a bitch!” she thundered, and moved quickly to pull out a splinter with her teeth before she changed her mind. A moment later she remembered about Argus and looked around, but there was no flash of crimson to be seen. Ni's tail drooped, and in frustration she took another swing at the ruined wardrobe, turning it into equal parts matchsticks, shredded rags, and firewood. Hissing, she stalked off, dreading the report she'd have to give. The Generals wouldn't be pleased that she'd allowed a recruit to escape and rampage through the city, not one bit.



A mischievous grin greeted Eve's joking promise of retribution. ”Heh, I'll look forward to it.” Her concurrence with the plan of allowing Ayame to play leader for awhile came as expected, and the dark mage had already turned to face his little companion by the time she intoned his name.

The commonplace mirth of Nero relented before a facade of solemnity when Ayame turned her stuttering speech on him. Her mention of her magic, a simultaneous apology for and identification of it, did not rouse any particular concern within the Genie. From the moment he partnered with the young, vulnerable girl two months ago, he'd suspected her to be hiding some sort of trump card, and magic seemed like just the thing. Why would someone so timid and weak decide to risk trusting him otherwise...unless his rhetoric alone, by some undeveloped virtue of the language, convinced her? Her request, though, bothered him. Seconds ticked by with the cloud of contemplative silence looming over him, and in that time his expression fully betrayed his doubt. Finally, after listening to the two cents Eve had to offer for Ayame, and admiring once again the faith that the Necromancer had in him and his wisdom, Nero responded.

”Eve is not at any more of a disadvantage than she was previously, that's for certain. I'd wager she's even better off. Ayame, why do ya feel pressured to change too? You're frail and skittish, aren't they disadvantage enough? Everyone's got issues, kid, some are just better at hidin' it.” A moment passed while he took a deep breath and folded his fingers together. ”That said, I won't turn down the wish of a friend. If ya insist on bein' changed, I'll make ya as tall as I am. Freakishly tall, for your age. Then you can't hide behind me anymore. Do ya want that?”

What was taking Trinity and Karn so long, anyway?

Shujin

It was interesting that Sasha did know this much about fairy tail. "The royal library... even the restricted areas couldn't give me that information. How do you know that?" He nodded. "I'll take your interest in the matter as you coming along." He tapped the table. He was sure they would work well together. "The time lord isn't an easy guy to find. You know that... of all people. Sure you remember what happened when you first met me?" He paused. "We had no idea he was actually there with us." He frowned. "He want's to speak with you surely. Wont he approach you again?"

Lazarus

He concurred with Shujin. "I dont know how we are supposed to find someone who can just as well disappear into thin air Sasha." He shook his head. "All of this is weird. Why does the time lord want to go to fairy tail's holy ground?"

sasha
@yipeeXD

"that's what I want to know!" Sasha said, "he will be nearby" that she was sure off, and she shifted, to rise, food already forgotten. "your royal library is sorely in need of new books, it is lacking in a lot of areas" but how did she know what she knew? It made her feel like there was a lot she didn't remember. But this, she thought, didn't come from being forced not to remember. She felt that it was simply because she had been a child, and of course children forget. She wanted that confirmed though. "as for why he wants to go there? That's easy. To find the answers to what happened 100 years ago. That's what he's been doing, always"

That's what she should have been doing to, but that wasn't for her, hadn't been since she walked through Phoenix Wings doors.

gabriel
@lmpkio@lugubrious

Gabriel was waiting for both Marlene and Enma, realizing as he did so that he didn't actually know Marlene, wondering how she got caught up in that mess. The same went for Enma too. He shifted, wondering if he should have chased after Enma. He could have out dog onto him. But the presence of naked people had seemed more important. There didn't need to be images of guild wizards I the local news papers. And magazines. That would have been good for the games.

He sighed, looking up as Enma came out, relieved that the clothes fitted. Being tall himself, Gabriel knew the challenges of getting clothes that fit properly and a store like this, that had been a challenge. Still, the clothes would do.

"you only got dressed because it's cold, didn't you?" he said, feeling that Enma was entirely too comfortable in his own skin, as well as too...prideful in his body.

Damian bit his lower lip and pulled Master Jamie and Penny off to one side, a little more out of Lucas' earshot. "Why not take Lucas with you? You want proof he has heart? He's willing to put his own safety aside to help find Mithera. And besides," Damian pulls the necklace out of the pouch and shows it to Master Jamie before storing it again, "the Golden Laws are after this necklace, which he doesn't even have anymore. And Penny and I kinda had a date planned for tonight." The last line is finished with a sheepish grin that said Damian was hoping Master Jamie would understand.




Jack chuckled. "Some maker mages have that affect on people because they have to be confident. Or perhaps you feel she doesn't belong. It's difficult to tell."

@Caits

Marlene Evangeline

As soon as Enma would've gotten out, Marlene would've gotten out too. She was wearing regular casual clothes, with some regular pants, a T-shirt, and a hoodie. It was snug, but not her cup of tea when it comes to fashion, though she does feel more tomboyish then anything. As she gets out, she sighs as she hugs herself for some warmth.

"Finally..." she sighs as she turns to Gabriel, "I'm in some clothes. Thank you kind sir. What's your name?"

Argus looked down at the small girl, listening to her story with a silent countenance, his expression growing more soured with every word. Not only that, but a crimson aura worked around him for a bit, a sign that he was getting pissed, before he managed to calm himself down with a deep breath. Once he had calmed down, he gave the girl a smile before looking at the paintings, then back to her.

"No need to worry about a reward, getting to help an adorable young lady like you is all the reward I need. And don't worry about the bitch who did this to you, I'm sure we can find someone to reverse that curse somehow. Just gotta keep positive about it." As Argus spoke, he picked up Isla's paintings, making sure to take extra care so as not to break or damage them. Once that was done, he squatted over to the white haired girl, his back facing her as he did so. "Now come in and let's get you to your home all ready, yeah. I'd be glad to give you a ride on my back as well, so you don't have to be stuck limping behind me. Oh, the name's Argus, by the way, Argus Leandros, and may I know the name of the person I'm assisting?"

@Liferusher

Master Jamie
@Zarkun@BrodZ11711

Master jamie shook his head, and said "I don't think that would be a good idea, simply because, from what I've seen, Lucas attacks first. This is for stealth, not...rashness." She gave a sigh, at a lose right then. Jamie knew she had been taken taing time from the S Class mages, so Jamie smiled at Damian's sheepish grin, and said brightly, "Go have fun, then." but Jamie was actually thinking when did that happen? there was a lot jamie had missed, the last few months.

Looking back to Lucas, Jamie frowned. "If you do nothing, nothing but follow me until I say otherwise, then you can come, but if you screw it up, I will kick your butt from here to next year"

Garbeil
@Lugubrious@Lmpkio

Gabriel looked to Marlene when she came out, and gave her a smile, hoping to put her at ease, then blinked at being called sir. "it's Gabriel" he said, "Really, it was no trouble. I couldn't just leave you there, naked after all" he said, bashful.

Lucas had heard what the master wanted, silence. I'm not stealthy he thinks, I guess in some ways im both, Im so glad I got my rocket flying to absolute silence. Lucas smiled to the master and without any words, he nodded, showing his approval.

Lucas turned to Damian, "If I had known that you were going on a date, I would've kept that stupid key. Please, don't let your guard down. I know you dont quite know what it is your guarding but in a simple, small debrief. That key, is more of a puzzle piece, the on button to a contraption I believe to be a glove, capable of turning off the magical limits of a person, in essence, infinite magic, with increased power. If my father, Leader of the Golden Laws were to acquire it, we'd have three full days to stop him before the glove will be at full power. Now so you know what your up against. Two 'A' Rank mages, Azazel and The Pale, both were masks, one black and one white. Expert assassins and you may know them as, The Royal Blood Masks. Now they both have similar masks and characteristics, Azazel, has Spectral Armor and 'The Pale' has almost the magic as you but with limits, he has Etherea and telepath, they both don't talk. Stupid I know. Now the heavy hitters, two 'S' ranks, Selena Sharp and Draco. Selena is a blonde sadist with a thirst for power, her magic is.... quite odd and beautiful. It's

Formulated Magic Blasts [+]

Selena creates concentrated energy into the shapes of animals with each a different color giving a different effect.

Red- Boils the blood to dangerous levels, causing serious paralysis and in some cases death.
Orange- Creates a singularity, pulling in people towards it then exploding.
Green- Explodes into a gas of poison which locks up the bones.
Light Blue- Causes an explosion of electricity.
Gray- Causes shock to the brain resulting in extreme fear.
Black- Explodes inflicting damage to their magic.

and she is very dangerous. Now Draco, my brother, as you can see will go so far as try to kill me for it, he has purple hair and he has Feather Magic, which is very versatile, he can poison the tips as he shoots them or make a full clone out of them or transorm into birds, be careful. Im sorry, but that's all I can say that would be of help." Lucas took a breath, "Please tell me you got all that..." smiling awkwardly.

Shujin

He took a drink from his cup. "There is nothing we can do until the time lord appears again." He placed the cup back on the table, standing up. "None of us know much about where we came from Sasha. I feel like we have a connection in that respect." He cheeks were coated in red. He never usually spoke with kindness but this was an exception. "That is all I wanted to say." He moved from the table towards the door to the place. "I'll see you in the games." He waved a hand and left like that.

Lazarus

He sighed and placed his head in a hand, shaking it. "He's exactly then same as he was all those years ago." He smiled a little. "I can't say the same for myself." He shook his head again. "I fear if you had seen me back then, you wouldn't be sitting here right now." He sighed once more before continuing. "He doesn't trust me. I wouldn't. I took away our home. Still... I'm proud of the man he's become. I wish I could make him feel that for me too." He looked down at the table. "But it's too late for that now." He pushed his chair out. "We should be getting back." He smiled, holding back any tears.

@hatakekuro

"Nope no secrets at all. Lets see I once wore my takeover as clothing for the fact I had no clean clothes. I almost got smashed to death because I was an independent little child I farted in church and giggle saying something about Gods Gassed to meet us. I have no secret, if you quite literally ask me then bam ill tell you upfront to your face. Heck my middle name is Meadow, yep Meadow. Zephyr Meadow Hardt. I don't keep secrets at all." Zephyr said smiling at Zev who seemed to be defeated by Zephyrs not having a secret. It wasn't that unthinkable for it to happen.

Damian quietly thanked Master Jamie before turning to listen to Lucas describe each person who would likely attack them. When he finished, Damian pursed his lips thoughtfully before speaking again. "What are the odds of them attacking in a crowded place? Particularly somewhere with the Royal Guard nearby?"

Sasha
@YipeeXD

Sasha shook her head at Shujin, as he left. She knew exactly where she came from. The fact that she came from Fairy Tail members, didn't matter. To imply there was a connection between them was actually quite laughable. Shujin saw betrayal around every corner. Sasha didn't. And that made all the difference in the world. Sighing softly, she looked to Lazarus "Then that just shows how much you have changed, and how...sad it is that he hasn't" She said, nodding and rising, having heard the announcement that Karn was going to be fighting.

Master Jamie
@Zarkun@BrodZ11711

Master Jamie listened to this, impatient to start searching for Mitheria again, but knowing this was important information, Jamie waited. It was more likely that they would try and find Lucas again, probably not expecting him to have handed the necklace over to someone else. "Because the rest oof the games has been sane? They'll attack wherever they want if they want it enough"

@Caits@Joshua Tamashii@CirusArvennicus



Karn sighed a little at her words, thinking for a moment as he shook his head. "It isn't a matter of wanting to leave. It's just a matter of enjoying my life while I can instead of worrying over the end. Death is seen as unfair, but actually its the most fairest thing of all. It does not pick and choose who dies... everyone eventually faces it. What makes it right that I avoid it, when there are so many other people who didn't get that? I'm sure, if one asks even those of Phoenix Wing, they have someone who they wanted to stay alive as well. But I'm sure... not one of them wanted the ones still alive to living worrying and dreading over their death. Same goes for me. I just want to spend my moments looking at smiling faces and be happy. Feel warm and fuzzy. If I had told you, could you really smile? You would try... and try... and try. Until it shatters your hope. Could you... after I tell you how many times I've died but been forced back to being alive? How much it hurts to sometimes even breathe? How many times I start drowning in my own blood? I don't have any will left anymore. I don't have a strong spirit." the blonde tried to explain before thinking a little as Prince was mentioned.

"Claire probably would have tried to help. He doesn't like breaking promises so he probably didn't tell you immediately. Or did try to but used cryptic words. I would have resigned from Phoenix Wing when it was time and just left. No drama no worry... just a goodbye. And you'd never see me again." Karn said before hearing the announcer and blinked a little.

"Sorry. We can talk to the Genie later. I have to go and fight." Karn said before transforming into the draconic cat and flying off.

---a few minutes later--

Karn had been quite excited for his battle and a bit nervous. He hoped he wouldn't dissapoint Phoenix Wing, but he was ready to have fun! After all, if he tried his best and had fun with it then it should be alright. That was the important thing. Humming softly as he entered the arena, wearing a frilly maid outfit with white lining. Bouncing about the arena in his excitement, he finally paused as his competitor appeared. With a bright smile, the feminine boy shook her hand energetically, emerald eyes wide with delight.

"Very nice to meet you Krysty! Don't worry, I'm sure both of us with have lots of fun!" Karn cheered with a bright happy smile. Despite the earlier event, he seemed to be back to his energetic happy self again.



Prince listened to Michael and gave a sigh. Humans were so complicated sometimes, or they made it that way. It was no wonder quite a few were easy targets for his kind. Mess with their emotions and take advantage of them. But he didn't say anything because that would probably just freak Michael out. "I don't see you as abandoning him. You just want to help by keeping a eye on him from a distance. But perhaps I'm not the best to give advice on such a situation." the feline said with the usual happy go lucky smile, though his mind trailed off to Karn. Someone he also could do nothing for. And just simply watch.

With a soft chuckle, he held Michael, embracing him tightly. "But, hugs sometimes help a little." he hummed before thinking. "You know, you twins remind me of a little song I've heard. It's almost funny." he mused.

Just out of curiousity how does one join this RP?
