[IC] Fairy Tail: We Are Family

Seeing how Dremkick was acting so suddenly violent, Morgan decided to act on her intuition and throw herself at Dremmick, using the momentum of her tackle to move him off the woman and tether him to the floor via his shadow. Then, before he woman tried anything while her back was turned, Morgan quickly placed her hand on the floor, connecting her shadow to the woman's, causing the same tethering effect to her.

"Terra, I suggest you do something similar to Ris, and quickly. Whatever is causing Dremmick to behave abnormally must have to be connected to the spikes from earlier. If my hunch is right, Ris will begin acting very similar.." Morgan theorizes. She wishes no ill will unto her guildmatee, but soon enough, their actions may not be their own.

The woman sputtered to regain her breath, curling up into a fetal position. She was definantly down and not getting back up anytime soon.

Ris raised her hands at Morgan's remark. "I have no plans on going off my rocker!" She protested, looking between Morgan, Dremmick, and Terra.

[Jollan]

Dremmick landed and noticed that he couldn't move, guessing that Morgan tethered him when he was tackled. He sighed and noticed he was wet on his side from a wound. A little perplexed that he didn't stop it before he sealed it so that it would stop bleeding. "You DO know, the whole thing about interrogation, is to be intimidating, right?"

"Yes, but, weren't you getting a little too intimidating? I mean look, you put her into the fetal position," Terra replied. "Though, I can't say she didn't bring it on herself. Though I will be coming back to you later, Dremmick." Terra stepped from behind Ris around to the woman and leaned over. "I assume you are quite done and would like to answer some of our questions?"

Dremmick just shook his head and sat up, noticing that he still couldn't stand up due to being bound.

By thinning out the shadow connected to her comrade, Morgan had permitted Dremmick a little more movement. Moving to stand beside Terra, the young tactician mustered up the most intimidating smile of career, looking down upon the women as she redirected the leftover shadows from Dremmick's tether into the woman's bindings, potentially cutting off the bloodflow in her wrists and ankles with how tight they were now. "I suggest you comply with my friends here. If you thought he was bad, you won't like dealing with me." Morgan remarks.

The woman wheezed a bit more then finally turned her dark eyes up to look at them warily. "Fine," she spat. "do what you must." Her voice was harsh as she spoke these words.

[Jollan]

Dremmick stood back up and crossed his arms, leaning against part of the framework of the basement. He tilted his mask up enough to reveal his right eye so that he could see better as his dagger dissolved into a crimson mist that absorbed back into his body. "Alright then, we'll start back at the top. Who the hell are you and what do you want?"

Terra sat back on her staff and started floating again now that everything was calm, but mainly keeping an eye on Dremmick.

@booksmusicanime@Jollan

Morgan now simply awaits for the woman to answer Dremmick, holding off from making any moves until she shows any sign of resistance.

@Jollan@ShadowVentus
"I'm simply a scientist wishing to complete her four year long experiment." The woman retorted harshly. "Your purple haired friend came to me to take the job four years ago. I may've been vague in saying I someone with magic to help me but she was entirely eager to help me when I first met her."

[Jollan]

"Oh really," Dremmick started as he paced the room. "No kidding, someone takes up a job and is excited about helping someone and getting paid, and you are surprised when they don't want to be your creepy magic slave for a few years? Come off it. I didn't keep your head on your shoulders for you to act coy and give me vague answers. Tell us what you were doing, what this 'experiment' was, and please, by all means, come up with some reason for us not to kill you so you don't come back."

Dremmick stopped pacing and his lone eye was fixed on the woman. His arms were crossed and his gaze was piercing. Oddly, between Ander and himself, it was usually Dremmick who did the interrogations in their old group's past. Did he want to kill her? Absolutely, but he was starting to realize it's not himself that is calling for blood, so through some effort he is restraining himself. Instead, Dremmick has a slight hope that this is something blown way out of proportion, but so far by the looks of things, he couldn't make heads or tails of any of it.

[ShadowVentus]

@booksmusicanime@Jollan

Morgan simply listens in silence, vigilantly watching Dremmick and their captive, preparing herself in case the interrogation goes awry. She can already tell that Dremmick is being unusually hostile, but so long as he doesn't act on these intense feelings of violence, she does not yet deem it necessary that she step in and take control of the situation.

[booksmusicanime]

@Jollan@ShadowVentus
"My experiment was in magic suppression, trying to help tame volatile magics. I know your friend's magic isn't volatile like what I wished to experiment with but she was willing to be my test subject. I didn't mean for the experiment to have it's side effects or even to make her magic deadly to herself." The woman attempted to explain in such a way it wouldn't end up with her dead.

[Jollan]

Dremmcik walked slowly up to the woman and sighed, seeming to release some of the hostility in his voice. He the squatted down on his haunches to where he was eye level with her. Taking off his mask and setting it next to Morgan he then rested his arms on his knees. To the woman, the young man was wrapped head to toe in bandages, like a leper or a mummy of sorts. The single area of skin that showed was around his right eye, his other was completely covered along with the rest of his face. Whatever ailed him, could be seen starting to creep from the edge of the bandages and was close to his eye. only the area around his eye had been unscathed so far. But that eye, while his voice was less hostile, his eye seemed to contain nothing but pent up aggression, and it was deadlocked with hers. And he stayed there for several seconds, increasing the tension and hopefully toying with the fear he hoped she had felt.

"I'm inclined to slightly believe you," he said almost calmly and with a hint of feign forgiveness. However he shook his head ever slowly as he finished his statement in a more sinister tone, "but I'm not inclined to trust you."

With that he stood back up, picking up his mask again looking down at her. "I will not kill you. I suppose you have answered as much as you could." He dusted himself off and placed his mask back on. "Though, I can't have you attacking us again. If what you say is true, then you shouldn't have to stay in the shadows about it. We will talk to Cilia, see if she sees it the same way, which I highly doubt. Till then," he turned to Terra who was seemed to be a little bit closer than he had last remembered, "Terra, if you could nullify her so we can be done here."

Terra, who had since inched closer to Dremmick in case something happened, let out a sigh of relief when she heard it was finally over. Looks like she didn't have to pop Dremmick in a bubble after all. She floated on her staff over to the lady and hopped off. The staff floated into her hands and the crystals popped out from both ends as she grabbed it. The two quarters of her half of the crystal then joined together into a half. She looked down at the woman and slightly pitied her. Whether her story was true or not, to lose your magic is a terrible thing. "Please understand," she said before giving her crystal the command, "Crystal form: thief." It was ironic, a woman who was studying magic suppression getting a taste of the real thing, complete nullification.

The crystal then went mostly transparent as she swept her arm gracefully in the direction of the woman. "You may feel a bit weak at first," she added as the crystal phased through the woman, spawning a crystal shard in a dark onyx color reminiscent of her spikes from earlier, and sealing her power inside of it. The shard, followed by the now separated crystal then floated over to where Terra was as she put it away in a pouch, and the crystals back into place in the staff. "Alright then," she said, not sure as to how she felt about the whole confusing situation, "what now."

"That's simple," Dremmick said, and oddly cheery again he turned toward Morgan, "Unless you have anymore business with her, Morgan, turn her loose and lets head home. Don't want to keep Cilia waiting."

Back to the guild!

Dremmick

---

Upon arriving back at the guild, Dremmick had let Cilia alone so that she could rest and talk whenever she wanted to. He was still worried about that woman they fought. Even without her magic, could she still pose a threat? Dremmick shook his head as he found a table and sat down at it, or rather, laid down along the bench. He pulled the mask off and laid it on his chest as he closed his eyes and rested. Though, he was still lost in though. Not about Cilia, however, he knew she was fine. He was worried about what had happened to him when he was down there. He would be lying if he said he didn't lose himself a little bit when fighting and interrogating that woman. There was an anger there, a longing to kill. And to top it all off, he didn't even tend to his wound while he was injured. He can't remember a time where he was that reckless. He inwardly cursed at himself for letting himself get that far out of hand. He'd have to cut back on magic for a while it seemed.

Terra

---

Terra seemed to be a little more at ease than Dremmick. She came back riding on her staff as usual, and while she was a little worried during the confrontation, she was back to her cheery self by the time they arrived back at the guild hall. When she came through the door she immediately started looking for Ander. When she didn't see him at any of the tables she started to cal out for him but with no response. He didn't seem to be in his room either.

"Hey, Morgan, do you know where Ander is? He seemed to have left, but he didn't say anything to me about it," she said as she stepped down from her staff.

Ander

---

Ander wasn't so far from the guild, in fact he was already on his way back from his "visit" elsewhere. When he had left to investigate the quest he took from the board with a red raven on it, he had also snagged another quest, this one being a decoy if anyone had asked why it was he got a bit roughed up. Turns out, that was a handful too. Some man wanted a wild boar to be caught, but without any major damage to it. Something about not wanting the meat to be damaged. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, however, because he could normally just shock the boar to death. Though, today it would seem that his sister pilfered his lightning crystal. As for why, he could never guess.

He finally got to the door of the guild and pushed them open, walking straight to a table to lay across a bench much like Dremmick except more sprawled out. Letting out a sigh as if a weight was lifted of his shoulders he then announced, "Please tell me we have pork on the menu tonight...I could really go for pork right now."

"Ander, where have you been?" Terra questioned as she walked over to her brother. She lifted her sleeved hand over her face when she came around the table to see him. "You are a wreck, what happened?"

Ander sat up and reached in his pouch and pulled out a small coin sack and gave it a jingle before plopping it on the table. "That's probably enough right there to eat for a week," he started, "Got it from having to get a boar for some big time chef in town, although he wanted it unscathed, which proved to be the challenge.... Especially without my thunder shard," he finished looking toward Terra. "Any idea where that went?"

Terra flushed red as she realized what he was talking about. "OH...uh...that. Well, I, uh... Used it this morning to get rid of the frizz....in my hair...I forgot to bring it back." She had used it to make a electric shield to abosrb electricity as she brushed her hair, keeping it from frizzing. Though she did honestly forget to give it back, though she wasn't worried about it at first, she didn't think it was going to put Ander in any danger. "Sorry about that."

"Hey, hey now," Dremmick cut in, sitting up as well, "You can't blame the poor girl for making herself at least look presentable. You could learn a thing or two from her, Ander," he finished with a chuckle.

Ander raised an eyebrow at his long time friend, "Is that right? Well then, excuse me while I go get cleaned up then," he said as he stood up and started up the stairs, "but if I come back and I don't find any pork, I'm gonna roast you Dremmick." Not that it was easy to see, but Ander did let a bit of a smirk show.

Aichi smiled as he walked into the guild hall. Seeing everyone again was great and he felt like his last job had taken him forever. Running his hands through his blonde hair and, smiling the whole time, Aichi waved and shouted above the din.
"Hey everyone long time no see!" Aichi greeted some as he made his way toward the bar area and asked for a drink.

[Misumichan]

“We have returned!” Nate bursts through the front door of the guildhall in a dramatic fashion. Mitsuki gives him an annoyed glare as she walks past him and goes straight for the nearest empty table. She sits down and stretches out across the table and sighs. Nate plops down on top of the table. “Okay, you've been miss doom and gloom whole train ride. You want to actually tell me what's your problem?”
“You! For one thing!” Mitsuki growled in frustration.
“What did I do?” Nate pretended to be offended even though he knows exactly what she's referring to. “I'm a perfect angel.”
“Of destruction maybe!" Mitsuki scoffed. She slammed on the table to sit up and properly glare at him. “How is it you have only two offensive spells and yet you can destroy most of town?”
“Hey you were there, it was mostly the other guy!” Nate shrugged. “Not my fault!” Mitsuki grabbed him by the his oversized coat and pulled him close, "You defaced an entire street and destroyed the commemorative statue in the square in one go! We got no reward for capturing that jerk! You want to lose the apartment here in Magnolia?!”
“Could you not hurt the jacket?” Nate gave off a couldn't care less attitude about the situation and it was driving her nuts. She pulled him closer so he'd look her in the eyes and she spoke to him in a dead serious tone, “I made this for you and I can destroy it if I want to!”

[Jollan]

Dremmick

---

Dremmick turned to see the new, or at least new to him, people come into the guild hall. He's heard their names from time to time, but never met them face to face. The young man who walked in was about Dremmick's height, he assumed, though had a strong build to him. If memory served right, He learned requip magic from his mother. He waved and nodded his head to Aichi as he came in. Couldn't really show a smile since he was constantly bandaged up head to toe save for his right eye showing.

He then watched as the two others came in, and to be honest, the way they argues reminded him a lot of the Greaves twins, though it seemed these two were more of the physical argument sort. After laughing a little he stood up, thinking now was a good time as ever to introduce himself. He walked over to the two who seemed to either be siblings or lifelong friends first, since the other man went to the bar and it seemed Terra was on her way to talk to him already. He placed his mask back on his head, leaving it tilted so that it was clear of his eye.

"How's it goin," he started, "I don't believe we have met, my name is Dremmick Valswei."

Terra

---

Terra noticed the first guy walk in and she greeted him along with the others. When she saw that he was going to the bar for a drink she floated over there on her staff so that she didn't have to pass through anyone and landed next to him.

"No drinks here at the moment. It seems that Drake is taking the day off with his family, and he doesn't like anyone touching the kegs when he's gone," she said with a grin as she went to introduce herself. "I'm Terra, I haven't seen you here before, though I guess that wouldn't be too hard considering I only just joined recently."

[Misumichan]

“Ah! Hi!” Mitsuki dropped Nate and he fell backward with a thud onto the table. She gave a sweet smile to Dremmick as she introduced herself, “I'm Mitsuki March! It's always nice to meet new friends!” She glared down at Nate who had rolled over on the table and pulled up his Archive she knew he was searching Dremmick with it. She sighed and gestured in Nate's general direction, “This lump on the table is Nate Xenakis.”
“Oh! I thought you sounded familiar! A former member of the Jailers! That's cool! Hmm, medical training. Blood Magic? That's a new one for me. What's that like?” Nate sat up and crossed his legs still on the table. His curious nature started kicking into overdrive, barely stopping for answers. “How long have you been in Fairy Tail? Do you have a secret talent? What's your greatest fear? You come home one day and your room is filled from floor to ceiling with avocados. What do you do?”
“Okay information junkie!” Mitsuki backhanded Nate's arm to keep him from firing off more weird questions. “That's a bit much! Take it down to about a three!” Mitsuki smiled apologetically, “You're free to ignore him. He's just nosey. And…” She paused for a moment, it finally struck her how weird Nate's last question was. She looked at him with confusion, “Why avocados?”
“Why not?” Nate shrugged and laughed.

[Keyblade87]

Aichi looked to Terra and shrugged. He had seen her around the guild here and there but never really said anything.
"Nice to meet you, Terra. I'm Aichi and I may have joined recently but my mother is pretty well known around here, in fact, I'm pretty sure I could hop the bar and start serving and Drake would probably just keep his clam shut." Aichi said with a grin and a wild sparkle in his eye. Looking backward as the other two who had been behind him were arguing he laughed a little at the sudden stop the two had when the bandaged man walked up to them. "One thing I've loved about being around here since I was a kid. People really are friendly." He said leaning back against the bar and looking around before returning his gaze back to Terra.

[booksmusicanime]

Cecilia would walk into the guildhall, followed closely by Iris. The tall purple dyed haired Cecilia would glance around at who all was in the guildhall. At not seeing Inigo she'd go to sit at a table by herself near the corner.

Iris would stand in the doorway stretching for the moment, letting the sun from outside warm her back before she moved in and over to the bar. Her pink dyed hair swinging into her face. She'd give Terra and the new man a smile in greeting.

[ShadowVentus]

Morgan, whom had entered the guild hall alongside Terra, had barely any time to give an answer to her guildmate’s question before it was answered on its own. In fact, in what seemed like a very short time span, quite a few faces had popped up into her line of sight. Of course, she recognized fellow members of Fairy Tail when she saw them, for aside from Guild Mark that they shared, their personalities were as eccentric as they could get. Before she could step in and introduce herself to anyone, however, the very recently closed doors of the guild hall burst open once more. Turning towards the door, Morgan freezes, an expression of utter surprise shown on her face. This expression gives way as her body begins to tremble, her eyes watering as she fights back tears of joy as three silhouettes appear. The one in the center steps forward, wearing what was to the young tactician a familiar black traveling cloak. Beneath the shade of the cloak’s cowl, a smile was all that could be seen. The figure outstretches his hands, openly greeting everyone before him with this gesture. “Fairy Tail...what a sight for sore eyes!”
