[IC] Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

[Burthstone]

Mayt was in the market place, he looked up at the flame in the sky, and almost panicked when the fireball landed to reveal a girl. He had half drawn his Katana before stopping, letting out a relaxed sigh, and putting it back, giving apologetic looks to those who were worried about him doing so. He has a large satchel around his shoulders, and it seems almost filled to the brim with things. While not a large satchel, a candle sticking out pops up the edge enough to allow sight of a knife and an old book. Mayt looks over Penny carefully, trying to determine what she's after and why she's here. Keeping a hand on his blade, he started trying to move away from the market, heading back towards his house. He didn't want to deal with whoever that was or why they were there.

Some luck god or goddess decided that today was not his lucky day, and he suddenly felt dizzy, and he crashed into someone, who fell into another person, and he ended up bringing down a good number of people. He tried to stand up, holding his head. He managed to push himself to his feet, and stumble out of he market and into an alley, where he leaned back into the wall and breathed heavily, hoping no one would recognize him when he came back some other time. He wiped his head and slides down until he's sitting. His eyes unable to focus properly. "Calm... Focus... You need to at least get back to your apartment Mayt..." He held his head with his left hand.

[MarshiestMallow]

Penny say the scene of the guy creating a cascade of people falling. She frowned, watching with some concern. Look about, she followed after the guy, into an alleyway. Penny had this trouble with minding her on business, but the guy looked as if at any moment he would just kneel over and die.

So of course she would offer to help.

"hi" She said brightly, loudly, cheerfully, "Do you need a hand? Seriously, You look as if you've been through the mill once o twice. Do you need a hand? Cause I think if you don't take offered help, you might just never leave this alley. At least let me get you a drink or something" She said, really trying to be friendly, for she believed she had caused the mess back in the market place. Her appearance probably hand't been the best.

[Paingodsson]

Kelthar nodded as he followed his master back to the guild. The S class exams, he had always wanted to be S class, but he never saw himself strong enough. Unfortunately that hadn't changed. As Kelthar thought about all the easy missions and sighed. "Master, what's the point in me coming along if it's just S Class exams, it's not like I'm good enough to be apart of it, i'm not strong enough yet." he said looking down. He thought about what the master had just said about how it's the heart that matters not strength. He wished he could believe that, but if someone is far stronger than you, if you keep getting up nothing changes, they will still be stronger than you.

Kelthar looked up at the sun as they entered magnolia, he pulled out his Ukulele and started to play a nice evening tun on it swaying his head back and forth. The tune wasn't matching his mood but he figured if he could look like he was happy then no one would ask him why he seems upset. After all, it was just a petty reason for him to be sad. I mean just cause I wasn't in a fight? How pathetic. he thought to himself as he continued to strum.

[Burthstone]

Mayt sighed, he hadn't meant to cause a scene, and had hoped to girl would've thought he was somewhere else. "I-I'm fine... Really... I-I just have a c-concussion." He rubs his head to indicate this, and he starts to push himself to his feet, using the wall as a guide. "I-I thought y-you were someone.... Someone else, sorry, I'm fine. I'll be okay in a moment." He rubbed his head, everything was still a bit blurry. "But... I'll take take a-an offered drink." He held out a hand in her general direction. "I-I'm Mayt." He's shaking slightly, and his body is in a balanced, and if need be, a defensive posture. He glances over out the entrance of the alleyway. "But I can't do it f-for long, I have to get s-some things for someone." He slides a hand into his pocket slowly, trying to look like he's perfectly fine now.

[MarshiestMallow]

Master Jamie sighed "I'm going to let you in on a little secret some of the guild have already figured out. The S Class isn't just about power. It's about emotion. About heart. You don't need to be strong, of you have strong emotions. Love. The need to protect your fellows. Anger. Compassion. You see Kelthar, what makes Phoenix Wing isn't strength. It's the bonds we have with each other. We're a family. There's always going to be someone whose stronger then you, but that doesn't matter, so long as your heart is in the right place" she said, "this isn't just about S Class. It's about learning when to fight, and when not to. It's about learning how far you can go."

Master Jamie gave Kelthar a smile. "You did well on the island. Everyone did. Now, go get something to eat and rest"

"Dude" Penny said "you cant stand without the walls help. I'm sure you and the wall have a good relationship, but what are you going to do when you reach the opening of the alleyway?" She said, sighing "who did you think I was? I'm really new here in town, and I actually am looking for someone, but I think you need my help more" she smiled, and said, taking his hand in a handshake, her own hand warmer then it should have been, "I'm Penny. Penelope. But just Penny. Come on, I'll get you to a place where you can sit down and have a drink, and if you tell me what else you need I can get it for you. Some time resting looks like it would be good for you. And I'm quick"

[Burthstone]

Mayt sighed. "Fine... Fine." He pushes off the wall carefully, managing to balance, and indicates for Penny to come and help him stand. "Nice to meet you... I guess." Once she begins helping him, he limps with her towards the nearest place he can sit and have a drink. "And... Who are you looking for?" He says as they walk over, ignoring her asking if she could help him. "The guild would be a great place to start looking, if he or she has magic." When he reaches a chair, he sits down heavily, making a thump. He looks over at her, and motions for her to take the seat across from him. His vision has cleared by this point, and he's obviously feeling a little bit better.

[MarshiestMallow]

Penny shrugged "just someone I should have met a long time ago. My half-sister. I just heard of an ice Mage in the city without sound, and came here. It's been a long journey trying to track-but you don't care. Sorry. I ramble sometime" she sat down, she shrugged, "so how did you get a concussion? Falling down?" She asked jokingly, ordering a couple of drinks, and paying for them. Penny had sufficient jewels from her travels, and was happy to it a drink for a stranger.

scier vs Angelo...

angelo

Angelo got a good breakfast in today thanks to Jarvis so he would be ready for his next opponent knowing that they wouldn't be wounded like sasha was, he still felt terrible about beating an injured fighter but it had to be done and sasha wouldn't give if it wasn't for the guild master saying the match was over. Angelo is able to go on to the next fight so now Angelo needed to get ready and fight with all his might, he was going to be the next S class guild member of phoenix wing no matter what! Once Angelo finished his breakfast he went to the fighting grounds and stretched his body before he got into his fighting stance again bouncing on his tip toes so he could be ready to evade and counter attack like he did with sasha before their battle started, apparently it was a way of Angelo getting anxious and ready to spring into battle in a one on one duel to the end, hopefully end wouldn't mean death...

scier

As Scier still figured out how he had killed Wes, he realized that maybe it was because because he went forward to hard... to serious, was it because he wanted to win so badly?... no, it was because he thought it was for survival?... probably, to kill or be killed... that's how he always fought... maybe he weren't suitable for duels. Looking over his arrows he could see that all eight of his training arrows were missing, he remember using them during the fight and now he didn't have them any longer... but was it wrong?... why did he hold back on his arrows?... he didn't know... he figured it was because he didn't want to end it with a single hit... but perhaps that was his mistake?... if he had used his broad head arrows instead... even the first grace might have been enough to end the fight?... well the double hit to Wes's arm would easily been more than enough to give a fatal bleed if he had used the broad head... yet... it was the practice arrows... and thus, Wes had died... he sighed and was unsure what to do as he sat there.

Scier walked down to the arena grounds to search for his dagger, when he realized someone was standing there already, whoever that was he weren't sure if he had caught his name earlier but he wondered if he had seen him battle. "Uhm... sorry, am I interrupting something?" he asked not really knowing it was his turn as there seemed to be none that could tell him and he was not really that good at guessing while being distracted. Yet he soon discovered i on the ground, the dagger he was looking for... it looked good, he had certainly missed it even if it were a bit bloodstained by now. He picked it up and used a cloth to wipe away the worst before putting it in his belt, then he looked around to take in the view before looking to Angelo once again.

angelo

Bout time you got here, I was starting to think you didn't want to fight. Your my next opponent in the s rank tests. If you don't know me I'm Angelo the guy who will go s rank" Angelo said grinning hoping on his feet waiting for his opponent to go into the fighting stance before Angelo would start his attack. ...

scier

Scier looked at Angelo some more, for a moment je just stood quiet as he put the pieces together. He realized it was true what Angelo said, and this was indeed supposed to be another fight. "Only a fool fight because they want too... So far I've lived to fight for survival only... The next fight is toward the Ether blade guy, "If a rank is more important than life to you... Well then I belive your priorities are wrong " he said and shrugged. "I rather not kill anyone esle by mistake, thus if winning really means so much to you, well then I yield... You can have the match, " he saif and breathed out deeply. " I don't care if I stay the lowest rank.. I dont want any more of my comrades blood on my hands for silly contests of rank." he saiid and turned around.

Angelo

Angelo f growled a little at that, only to get a higher rank he thinks? He knows nothing about me! Angelo thought before he charged him and punched him square in the nose sending him flying a few feet "you think a rank is all I care about?! You nothing about me! I'm not doing this just for the rank! I'm doing this to prove that I can do it and can be the best! What gives you the right to think you can judge me because I was actually excited to prove it to everyone!" Angelo yelled growing his throat going dry at how mad he was about the guy having the gall to think that about someone of Phoenix Wing

[Burthstone]

"Ice mage... Sasha?" Mayt murmurs, and bites his lip, then shakes his head a little. It wouldn't be impossible, just ironic she seemed to control fire and Sasha controlled Ice, that they may be related. He looks up at Penny. "And I got a concussion in a competition." He figured that was a good way to put it. Hopefully she wouldn't harass him for something like that. "The guild was holding a competition for S-Rank wizards. And I was in the unfortunate position of fighting one of the toughest people in the Guild." He hoped that that had explained it all and that she wouldn't ask any further questions. He leaned back, glad she was ordering the drinks, he had nearly cleaned out all the gems he had on him, and the remainder was to pay for things he planned to buy later.

[MarshiestMallow]

"I know it's ironic, an ice Mage and fire Mage being related but...I managed to trace back who my father was, and he was a fire Mage. I guess I got more of my power from him. I don't know if my mother was an ice Mage, or if my sisters father was an ice Mage...all I know is she's an ice Mage" she shrugged "really, a class competition? Wow I wish I could have seen that!" She said excitedly "I haven't joined a guild yet, is it fun being apart of a guild?" She asked curiously, looking about what she could see, clearly curious and clearly impressed by what was around them. She looked back to Mayt with a smile, her dark eyes shining with curiosity.

[Jangel13]

Angelo simply turned away as he left apparently the winner by default as he left the guy he just punched alone. he doesn't know Angelo and Angelo wouldn't want to know him to begin with, he left to find master Jamie and ask who he would need to fight next, Angelo knew their had to only be at least 1 or 2 people who he would need to fight to gain the s rank and be considered one of the best of the guild to everyone. Then Angelo would be happy knowing he truly proved his father wrong and was the best at being just who he was and considering that all he did was punch a guy in the nose he still had all his magical energy for a real fight to prove he had the ability to be the best in the guild. make no mistake though Angelo wouldn't let it go to his head he would simply be the same guy but taking on missions that paid more Is all

[Burthstone]

Mayt shrugs. "I guess it can be fun being in a guild at times, and as far of the fights go, they look like complete messes." He looks over Penny, as if not entirely convinced she's related to Sasha. "And you don't have to join a guild. Honestly, I've gotten hurt more times in a guild in the past month than I've gotten injured in the rest of my life." He figured that was at the very least mostly true. He had broken a few bones as a kid, and hadn't since he joined Phoenix Wing, but he figured the fight with Lazarus, the fight with those people back on the island, and the job to the City without Sound, it all about added up to almost equal if not in favor of the guild. "Are you really related to Sasha? You two are opposite in everything but, uh, gender."

[MarshiestMallow]

In the absence of the master, Jarvis a announced the winner of Angelo and sciers match. "Angelo vs Scier, winner, Angelo" he sighed and went to retrieve Damian, knocking on Damian's door. "I'd rest up as much as you could if I were you. Angelo is victor, but he didn't exactly use much magical energy" Jarvis told him.

---

Penny frowned listening as he talked "but with a guild you can get jobs and help of you need it" she said "I'd much rather broken bones then nothingness" she said taking her drink when it was brought over and sipping it thoughtfully.

She seemed in her own little world when Mayt asked her if she was really related to Sasha "no idea" she said, "will know when I see her, but given that she is an ice Mage, and her name is Sasha chances are good that she is. How many ice mages named Sasha could there be? When I was 16, I found out that she loved with our mother, but that our mother had died when we were kids because of an accident, but that no one knew what happened to Sasha. Since then, I've followed hints and clues. And here I am" she said

She shrugged, then said "what other items do you need to get?"

[Burthstone]

Mayt sighed. He personally would've preferred if Penny was a little less helpful. He knew the list would be suspicious. He thought for a moment, then pulled the letter from his pocket, flipping to the third page quickly, talking as he does so. "Lack of a Guild doesn't mean nothingness. And you can get jobs without a Guild. I have experience with that. Though the help part is nice, it's simpler to take jobs you can handle by yourself for the most part." He paused, biting his lip, and speaking quietly to himself as he looks down the list. "Have that, have that, got that, I'll get that tomorrow... Okay. I need something that can channel magic, chalk, and..." His eyes run over the paper, looking for something he trusts penny to get. "That seems like it." His voice sounds a little tired and worn down. He folds the paper up and puts it back away. "I don't think Sasha knows you exist though, she's never said anything about having a sister, so it'll probably surprise her... A lot."

[Zarkun]

Damian had climbed out of the shower and gotten battle ready again for the most part, except for his swords, which still rested in their corner. He'd been drifting in and out of sleep for the last few minutes and nearly jolted out of bed and lunged for his swords when Jarvis knocked. Hear and recognizing the his voice though, Damian let out a sigh and laid back down. "Thanks Jarvis. Let him know I'll be ready to go in two hours. Just need enough time to recharge and let these ribs heal up some more." Closing his eyes, he reflected on what he knew of Angelo's magic and the best way to counter it.

He's got some kind of lightening armor that allows him to move at faster speeds and super charge some of his spells. Aside from that, he focuses on ranged attacks that give him an edge until he can get that armor up...guess I'll be releasing the Alpha lock for certain. Sighing again quietly, he does his best to push further thoughts of the upcoming final match to the back of his mind. "I won't loose..." is the last thing he mutters before passing into a light sleep.

[Iatos]

~Previously~

Scier was on his way from the battlefield when Angelo attacked him from behind, he heard him comming and it had been to easy to spin around and kill Angelo as well with his dagger in a draw spin and kill manouver. He were used with predators attempting to attack from behind, and he had thus trained for it by default. Yet as Angelo got around him and used his lightning punches he filled up with repelling force and as Angelo punched the reverse magnetism pushed Scier off unharmed rather than getting punched. "so, striking a defenceless foe... That is how you show your guild dedication... If this truly is how S ranks are supposed to act, then I never want to become one" he said as he walked off.

This was phoenix wing?... A guild of backstabbing mages?

~~ Now~~

Scier sat down back on the balcony after returning to the guild, thought on his way he had stopped by the library to pick up a book which he sat down to read.

[MarshiestMallow]

"by nothingness" "Penny said, "I meant death. There are some jobs that you can't do by yourself, and there isn't any shame in that." She said "Having a guild means I can ask for help. Plus I've been on my own for a while, and a guild full of people who can use magic is highly attractive" She added, watching as Mayt tried to find something for her to go buy for him. She supposed that was fair enough. She didn't know him, and he didn't know her.

"You should trust your friends more, you know. You look like death to tbe honest" She said truthfully, taking note of what he said he needed. "Of course Sasha doesn't know I exist. I doubt our mother mentioned me. She left me with a kind caring family after I was born, and given that I'm older, it's most likely she doesn't even know she has family alive out there. And it's meant to be a surprise. It's her birthday next week, and I thought early present! surprise!" She smiled brightly.

Then she sighed and finished her drink, rising. "I'll go get what you need. I won't be long"

---

"Alright" Jarvis said, before heading back to the bar, glancing around for Angelo

[Burthstone]

Mayt blinks, surprised. "It's Sasha's birthday next week? She never said anything about that..." He mused for a moment, rubbing his chin. "Should I give you my address, or just wait for you here?" He looked up as she got up, putting his hands back on the table. He hadn't even touched his drink yet. "And I look like death because I haven't washed since yesterday, which was when I had my round. I was too tired to bother last night and I was distracted this morning." He looked down at himself, admitting he should've taken a shower, and he rubs his head. "Yeah... Sorry about looking how I am." He bites his lip. "I need to get home. I live a couple streets over..." He gives her his address, pointing, and starts to stand up, much more stable now. "Thanks for the drink." He gave her a slight smile.

[MarshiestMallow]

Penny nodded "everything I've found indicates that it is her birthday, yes" she said brightly, "as for why she never said anything? I don't know. Maybe she didn't want a fuss" she said with a shrug, amused at his comments about not looking good. "Oh, I don't need someone to look good to like them" she said as he apologized, "I turn into flames. Looks don't really mean much after that" she said with a small laugh "go home, I'll bring the stuff around to you, but if I hear another commotion I'll assume it's you"

She smiled and jogged off down the street toward merchant stalls, beginning to search for what Mayt wanted, having difficulty doing it as she got distracted but she learned a lot about what was avaliable and what the town was like. She began to ask about the guilds in town, including Phoenix Wing or any other guilds, but her heart was set on being with her half-sister. So if she was about of a guild, she'd join that guild.

As soon as she was finished, she headed to Mayts addressed, the bag if things her wanted over one shoulder, and knocked on the door, calling out "Mayt? Penny, I've got your stuff" all in all it hadn't taken her more then half an hour to gather to things

[Burthstone]

"Hold on a moment." Mayt groans when she knocks, and after a few minutes he opens the door. It's obvious he had just finished washing himself. "Thanks, Penny." He started taking the stuff from her, taking it in and setting it next to the bed slowly, leaving the door open. Penny can see it's a simple two-room apartment (If you can call a bathroom a room.), the bed is ruffled and has some odd things scattered on it. A few books, a knife, some candles, things of that accord. He has a chess set shoved into a corner, and he's cleared out a small-ish space in the center of the room, his sword is resting within arms reach of the bed, and the rest is just too much of a mess to make out much. Once he had put everything by his bed, he moved back to the door, blocking it from view. "Thanks Penny, I guess I'll see you around the guild sometime soon." He gave her a quick smile before starting to close the door, but stopping before it's almost completely closed and opening it again.

"By the way, if you need a place to stay, I'm pretty sure the Guild rents rooms, and there's a couple hotels around here." He looks outside the door like he can actually see something outside. "And if you absolutely can't be bothered to spend a few gems I have a couple of spare bedrolls." He starts to close the door again, not giving her time to say anything or argue. He didn't want to have to explain anything.

[YipeeXD]

He nodded. "Sasha..." He was about to say more, but shook his head. "I'm glad you joined Phoenix wing. I wouldn't the wizard I am without you!" He beamed at her before swinging around to her other side, arm around her tightly. "Now, how about we go back down and watch the rest of the S class tournament?" He smiled, before leading her to the door. He realized he would be seen coming out of her room. He wouldnt bring that on her so he let her go and waddled over the her window. "See you down there." He winked, and dropped off the ledge, forming his wings and fluttering to the ground. He entered the guild hall and found a good place to watch the battling from inside.
