[IC] Fairy Tail: Next Generation

[Kitty]

Mimi sat in the guild her head down on the bar, fast asleep. Her father felt like having a spontaneous training in the middle of the night. These training sessions to help her get better at fighting had started when her father felt like her injury was healed enough, so a day after everyone returned home. Mimi raised her head up slightly as she woke up from her slumber. She looked around and saw nothing of interest before resting her head on her arms on the bar. She started to drift back into sleep since nothing interesting was happening in the guild and none of her friends were there.

"Ugh it's so heavy." A large four legged beast whined a little, a bit bigger then a horse and was a bit lion like, with black scales like a dragons, horns, and was mostly covered in a brown fur with a darker brown long mane. The long tail flicked from side to side. The beast's long flowing whiskers twitched as it walked through the city while being hitched up to a wooden cart, filled with a bunch of bags, like a horse. Walking through the town to the path that led up the hill to the Fairy Tail Guild. When finally reaching the front of the Guild, the beast have a bright excited smile on his muzzle before transforming into a small orange cat. Easily slipping out of the pulling equipment then transforming again into a human. The human was a short haired blonde, emerald green eyes, and was currently wearing quite a frilly pink outfit that seemed to be for waitresses at some sort of maid cafe. They had white silken gloves and leggings with and wearing brown heels and white lace around the collar and skirt. A dark green Fairy Tail Guild mark on the left of their exposed neck. "I am baaaack Fairy Tail!!!" The blonde, named Karn chirped happily. He had been gone for a bit on a mission, hoping to find Master Rian, but it turned out it was a dead end. And he had somehow ended up like this along the way. Seeing Mimi, the short blonde happily bounded over and hugged her happily. "Hi Dragon girl!" came a excited chirp.

[Demon Shinobi]

Iggy had gotten to the guild much quicker than Tories might have expected after leaving and just before Karn. He'd noticed Mimi and was creeping closer to surprise her, but Karn beat her to it. He mentally cursed his luck before charging forward. "Welcome home Karn!" He shouted as he shifted his target and moved forward to playfully tackle his blonde friend. He did give him just enough time to transform because the tackle, playful as it was, might hurt. Mimi might enjoy the burst of energy in the guild and that she wasn't the target of Iggy's assault this time around. Man he hadn't seen her since e left the guild that day. He was either healing and training. So he was kind of away from the guild.

[CitrusArms]

Trinity had spotted the beast while wandering the plains. It was alone and hitched with a cart, which was... strange. She decided to follow it, if only out of curiosity. It was attached to a cart, which meant it was docile... probably. Maybe she could just... hop on that cart and see where it took her. She'd wake from her nap when the cart was set down with a thunk. "Aaah? And where is this?" She speaks and sits up from the pile of stuff, looking around. She calls her harp to her hand and plucks a few notes as she rouses. She ends up falling into this.

[Constantine]

The doors to the Fairy Tail guild flew open with fearsome force, arcs of electricity trailing behind the wooden panes as the doors slammed into their hinges with a loud thump that reverberated around the guild hall. The doors were unmarked, having been strengthened against Lightning Magic after the repair bill made it a necessity. Luka Magnolia's silhouette filled the open doorway, her clothes whipping about her in the shock wave she had just caused. And she was angry. Several guild wizards turned to face her, many more knew better, one even accidentally made eye contact with her. Luka herself was not such an imposing figure, standing at only 5ft8 and with a slender figure hidden beneath layers of loose white cloth. It was the lightning that did it. Even now the staff on her back, its tip angled slightly to the left and pointing up at the sky crackled with electrical energy as arcs of lightning discharged into the air around it, causing it to crackle and shimmer as light from outside streamed past it. Her eyes scanned the room as if trying to find someone. She did not find them. Somewhere several miles away a man shuddered, not knowing his good fortune. Her anger relented pretty quickly and she let out a dejected sigh before rather lazily ambling toward her favourite chair with all of the enthusiasm that she could muster, which right now was none existent. Her chair was empty, it always was. It was best that way. Just before she reached it she collapsed forward as if suddenly struck dead. And she just lay there groaning. In less then a minute she had gone through anger, dejection and finally apathy and now just lay there looking exhausted, black bags under her eyes.

[Kitty]

Mimi looke.d up and smiled slightly when Karn walked over to her. "Oh hey Kar-" she began before getting cut off by Iggy yelling then pouncing on poor Karn. "Baka." Mimi said rolling her eyes at Iggy. She hadn't seen him since the day they got back and she was now slightly annoyed with her friend. They had both grown up together in this guild since they were on diapers so he was her best friend and not talking to him for so long got on her nerves some times especially when she needed to talk to him about the key around her neck. Mimi saw Luka enter the guild and she watched everything happen. "Oi, Luka. Welcome back and how are you doing?" She asked the girl from across the room. Luka was another one of her friends and she knew about her mood swings but she was used to it. She knew better then to bother her too much at times, like now

[Constantine]

Luka moved her eyes toward Mimi's direction but made no actually attempt to move the rest of herself. By now the majority of her rage had been spent, her magic returning to its normal ground state as her dejected mood took full sway. The lightning arcs still sputtering half heartedly for the tip of her staff had turned a pale yellow colour from the iridescent white that they had been only moments before. This indicated to all that her magic had reverted to its ground state. Less power with more control. It also meant that whatever her mood was it was no longer of the violent nature. For the moment. “Oh, just, wonderful,” each word was said with slow, deliberate care that suggested anything but. “Another well paying job completed successfully.” Luka made no attempt to stand, or even move. The sparks from her staff had completely sputtered out. A darker mood overtook her. “Yeah, well paying, easy money, nothing at all weird about it at all,” she said in a flat monotone. “Nothing weird, weird, weird,” Luka trailed off with each repetition of the word as if falling into a sombre trance. … … …! “That Bastard! I'll kill him!” Luka roared to life, suddenly on her feet and full of energy. “Trick me will he? An easy job?! Do it himself would he? I'll break his scrawny little neck! Who the hell sends a comrade on a mission like that without telling her ALL of the details first!?” And just like that she snapped back and fell back into her chair and slumped backwards, a look of tired exasperation crossing her face as she rubbed the side of her face. Once again the bags under her eyes were in evidence and she had taken on a pale, doom ridden expression.“I'm so doomed.”

[The Irish Tree]

Torie, apparently late to the party, simply walked into the guild hall like a normal person, just in time to see Luka collapse back into her chair. Looking from her to Karn, he rubbed the side of his helmet with an index finger, while he tried to remember if he was just forgetting who they were, or if they were away when he'd joined and he'd never seen them ever. Probably the latter. Didn't matter that much to him anyways, he'd only really personally had any kind of talk with Iggy and Blaze. Figuring that it didn't matter anymore to wear his helmet, (Nobody was ever impressed when he walked in anyways) he simply tossed it behind him into a small green magic circle, the helmet dissipated instantly, his red hair springing to its normal helmet-haired messiness. "...Well...Uh...today looks like it's gonna be fun." is all he says before making his own seat, green transparent panels forming a polygonal chair for him at a table. "Wonder what job Iggy was talking about anyways..." he muttered to himself as he rested his chin on the palm of his left hand.

[Silver Fox]

Perking a little as he heard the greeting from a certain dragon boy, the blonde boy managed to see a charging Iggy. Which initiated both excitement, happiness, and panick. Karn, in comparison to Iggy, was much more fragile in his human form. Iggy could probably break a few bones with a simple hug. But, Karn always liked hugs from his friends, so quickly the blonde's body transformed into his Chimera. The beast able to take quite a lot, even said to get back up from a dragon's attack. So as he was tackle hugged, he laughed and wagged the long tail happily. "Hey Dragon boy! Missed you!" Karn chirped happily, chuckling at Mimi called her longtime friend a Baka before addressing Luka. "Hi Lightning!" he chirped, seeming not to notice her maybe bad mood as she started yelling before looking to another guy who came in. "Hello!" Karn cheered, feeling to need to say just about hello to everyone he sees. It's been a long time since he had been home after all. Ears perking as he heard some noise outside, Karn simply happily called out. "Hi person who decided to ride with me!" he laughed before he playfully put a large paw ontop of the fellow blonde boy's head and ruffled the short hair. "Hope you guys have been alright while I've been gone!"

[Demon Shinobi]

Iggy laughed. The chimera form. Always the chimera form. Having been mid air he'd not really reacted to everything. Karn knew just which form to use to take the pain. Although that pain wasn't really going to be pain now. Soon he got up after a good squeeze. "Glad you're back." He laughed as he held out a hand to help Karn up after he transformed back. "Hey Mimi! Who's Luka trying to kill today?!" He barked with a laugh as he turned his head to give some form of input into the other conversation. Obviously Mimi's annoyance with him had been a little over looked. He was a bit oblivious to it at the moment. Then, he noticed Torie and motioned for him to come over. He probably didn't know these people. So he was a bit out of the loop. Karn called out to so many people. And Iggy had just realized that there was music in the air. "Wait... Karn... You let someone in your cart?! What if they aren't a good person?!" He said quickly pulling his hand away to face the cart. He was a bit more fierce and protective as he stared down the cart, in the guild hall. He was actually surprised, but neither he or Mimi had caught the new scent. Maybe because of all the interference in the guild and constant new members trying to join nowadays.

[CitrusArms]

Aah? It seems she was being addressed. That must be her cue. With a kick and a roll, Trinity flips herself out of the cart, off her back and onto her feet, her harp in hand. "Aah, hello to you, too, my large, beastly friend. And you can talk?" She approaches the large chimera, studying him for a moment before she smiles softly. "Aah, but you must be a wizard? Hmmm, does that mean you've brought me to a guild? Fascinating... we're still in Fiore, I assume? It feels to be the same day... Ah, and you have friends. Of course, this must be your guild." The minstrel had turned to the other wizard, the one that had been on guard toward her. "Good day, how do you do? Shall I play a tune for you? What kind would you like?" She plays a flourish on her harp, smiling unaffected by the tension put off by the other. She leans into Karn, getting closer to his relaxed presence.

[Kitty]

Mimi looked at the girl and smiled as she jumped up and walked over to the girl. "Yes this is a guild. Welcome to Fairy Tail!! My name is Mimi, I am the celestial dragon slayer and this here is the fire dragon slayer, Iggy..." Mimi pointed to the blonde haired boy, "..that girl over there lying on the ground is Luka the lightning mage.." she motioned to the girl collapsed in the chair, "...You've met the Chimera but he is an actual boy with the name Karn, and this here is the newbie of the guild Torie!" Mimi said pointng at the red head boy. "You are welcome to play a tune if you want but I can tell that you are a magician so if you want, you can join our guild. We'd welcome you with open arms." Mimi said grinning at the new girl hoping she'd join the guild.

[Demon Shinobi]

Iggy was relieve that the person at least seemed hurt. Didn't look like anything had been done to Karn. So things were all good. He was introduced by Mimi who in turn also introduced the others. "Long as your not here to try and hurt anyone we'd love to have you join." His demeanor hanged. More relaxed and cheerful as was te usual. "And Karn. Be more aware. What if someone stowed away and tried to hurt you?!" He said quickly turning his attention to the transforming Mage.

[Constantine]

“Oh be quiet fur ball,” Luka replied as she propped herself upright before jumping to her feet. She stretched her arms in the air and let out a satisfied groan as she felt her energy return from her outburst moments before. She picked up her staff from where she had let it fall onto the floor and with a flourish returned it to its place on her back. It sparked slightly in reply to its mistresses touch. Luka dusted her skirt off, followed by each arm individually in turn. Finally she ran her fingers through her overly long white hair. She scanned the room, very much aware that certain wizards were avoiding her gaze. That was always pleasing. Luka ignored the prospective new guild member for the moment, the fur ball and the dragon slayers clearly had that firmly in hand. Luka played no part in allowing people to join the guild anyway and rarely brought anyone to join, so her opinion was more or less irreverent in her own opinion. Not that she had a problem with the musical girl joining the guild per see. It was just that Luka's current less than stellar temperament was ill suited for any heart warming conversations. She needed something a little less...enthusiastic. Which is why after scanning the room she made her way over to another wizard that she did not recognise but already seemed to be a guild member. As it turned out his name was Torie. Luka was often away on missions so it was pretty common to come back to unfamiliar faces in the guild. Fairy Tail would often take just about anyone after all, so she often made at least a token gesture toward familiarity. Besides it was often nice to get an introduction in before the rumours did it for her. Luka came to a stop just a few feet away from from where Torie was sitting and looked at him in an appraising manner. “You should wear a helmet, it would suit you, I think,” Luka said conversationally after humming thoughtfully to herself. His hair was a lovely colour. Luka offered her hand to the wizard. “My name is Luka, Luka...Magnolia. I know, it's the same as the name of the town, there's nothing more to it than that, its just an unfortunate...coincidence.” Luka sat on the edge of a nearby table as she spoke. “About what you might have seen earlier,” she started to say and trailed off as she blushed slightly in embarrassment. “That was just, ummm, well, you'll get used to that, it happens a lot. People also call me 'Livewire'. I can be a little...erratic.”

[Silver Fox]

Karn chuckled at Iggy's excitement, before tilting his head slightly as the fire dragonslayer got protective over the fact that someone hitched a ride. The beast's ears witches and glanced over to the cart. "Well, on the way home a lot of people decided to take a ride and nothing happened. And she seemed harmless." Karn answered before sticking his tongue out playfully to Luka and looking to the two dragonslayers as they interacted with the hitchhiker. A deep purr rumbling as the music playing wizard leaned against him, nodding in agreement to Mimi as she handled introductions. "Nice to meet you!" Karn chirped cheerfully before looking to Iggy with curious amber eyes as he was scolded. Humming a little, he transformed back into his human form, making sure Trinity didn't fall from the sudden change in shape before brushing down the frilly dress and tapped his chin with a slender gloved finger. "Well, none of the people I met seemed mean. Though I guess there was that rowdy bunch of fellows in that one town. They ran off though when they found out I was a guy though." Karn hummed thoughtfully before smiling brightly as he picked up a box from his cart filled with sweet. "Plus I was given some nice gifts!" he chirped as he munched on a cookie as he innocently looked at his fellow guild mates.

[CitrusArms]

"Aah, he's a wizard, then? I had my suspicions, but I wasn't sure." Trinity watched the Chimera for a moment before turning back to the woman addressing her. "You're asking me to join your guild? Aah, haha, I suppose I'm flattered! But, if I joined every Wizard's Guild I walked into, I'd already be in a guild by now." The minstrel shook her head, her fingers still dancing. "But, I've heard much of this town of this town during my travels. I think I'll be sticking around for a bit, and then I might join you." This other guy, the fire mage, was a little overprotective, wasn't he? A guy with a transformation like that Chimera form shouldn't have too many problems. What a rare creature... which, thinking about it, the two in front of her were dragon slayers. She'd really have to stick around, now. With this many rare things together, there must be something worth a song or two. Probably more. She had started to pet the side of the Chimera she was leaning on, when he suddenly transformed back to his normal self, and steadied her so she wouldn't fall. A woman? A really flat one. Somehow, she wasn't sure. That girl told her the Transformation mage was a boy, but... maybe it was just the dress.

[Kitty]

Mimi giggled slightly at the way the girl looked at Karn. "I get that his appearance may be confusing but you get used to his way of dressing over time and come to love it." She said smiling at Trinity and Karn. Mimi then turned her attention towards I guy and smacked the back of his head. "I get that you are protective of our guild mates but you can't be yelling at people for being stupid because if you did that would mean someone would be constantly yelling at you for being stupid. Hopefully that doesn't just pass through your head without you understanding flame brain" Mimi said

[The Irish Tree]

Torie was occupying himself by simply watching the interactions between Karn, Trinity, Mimi, and Iggy, snickering to himself when Karn brought up the part about the guys hitching a ride running off. What he didn't expect of all things was for the girl in white to come over to his table and say that he should wear a helmet. Thinking for a moment before she extended her head, he thought: "...Wait...I-I'm not that homely, am I?" Once she extended her hand, he wiped his right hand off on the side of his pants and took her hand in for a handshake. "Torie. Torie Derringer. And, don't worry about it. Everybody has bad days." he says, thinking that she was talking about her collapsing onto the floor. He formed a green glyph over his left hand and materialized his helmet, plopping it onto his head. "And, I guess helmets do kinda suit me."

[Demon Shinobi]

"That's really rich coming from you." Iggy said to Mimi as he rubbed the back of his head. He wasn't that dumb so he didn't get why that was the area she decided to put him down in. "Don't get all high and mighty. You've never beaten me in a match after all. And I don't think you could do much better on a test than me either." He chuckled a bit. "And I wouldn't yell at everyone. I didn't even really yell at Karn. He's just... Easy to take advantage of." He sighed. "And you know Karn. Look at him. He's too trusting and kind. It's... It's worrisome." He admitted as he patted Karn on the head. Then he noticed Luka. "H-hey Mimi..." He changed the subject. "Luka approached Torie. Luka made a move." He whispered snickering lightly no doubt taking a page from Happy's book.

[Kitty]

"Learn to tell when people are joking Iggy. I know you are smarter than you may seem but you are dense. You've never beaten me at a match either you know. They always are ended before it's done or we end up equally defeated." Mimi said rolling her eyes at the fact he was taking her to literally. "Yeah I worry about Karn too sometimes. But that's why he's the best of us. His kindness is unbeatable." Mimi smiled before taking notice to Luka's approach to Torie. "She l-l-l-lllllikes him" Mimi whispered back copying the way Happy talks.
