[IC] Fairy Tail

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin made his way to Fairy Tail. He went around sunrise because he was less likely to run into others. He wasn't a social person. Sometimes jobs would force him to work with others but he preferred to work alone when he could. He didn't work for the money. He had more then he needed. He worked to keep from being bored. He didn't care why the others were there. Each had their own agenda. Unless they got in his way it was none of his business.

[Gareth]

Bert was in Fairy Tail's Guild Hall. He had already been awake since early in the morning-he wanted to get stuff done today. Looking around at the missions on the notice board nothing really made him excited enough to say, hell yeah I'll do that.

So he ordered a coffee from the lovely lady who runs a sort of bar that is the Guild Hall and took a seat by the bar's counter. What should I do today, try a new boring mission? Go around and see if I can meet some guildy that I haven't seen before? He didn't know, so he decided to shuffle some cards that he pulled out of his pocket to keep his mind off things.

Moeasha's bare feet pounded against the cobblestone road as she ran along. Her deep blue cloak whipped behind her, hood down and her loose hair also caught up in the wind. The few jewels she had around her neck, in her ears, and on her wrists and ankles jangled with each step. Moeasha dodged a few people, but at the early hour not many were around. She grinned like a madwoman and then skidded to a stop as soon as she rounded the corner and came face to face with the guild hall. Gasping in breath, she giggled excitedly. Today was the day, Moeasha thought to herself. Her horoscope in Sorcerer Monthly had said today she would find great treasure. Moesha had been pretty unsuccessful money wise lately, so this was great news!

"Hey! Be careful! What if you cause an accident running like that?"
A female voice nagged Moeasha, at first it was hard to tell who it was because of the amount of books she was holding was hiding her face, but due to the soft and kind voice that person had even when angry the guildmembers would know it was Ashtara.
SHe left the books on a table and then looked at the girl again, rising an eyebrow, she looked as a mother when she scolded people.

"What if someone gets hurt and I'm not here to take care of the problem?"

Moeasha went red in embarrassment. "Sorry," she answered, twiddling her thumbs together. "I will be more careful next time, yes!" Her good mood came back suddenly and she smiled, skipping over to the mission board, but being careful not to run into anyone this time.

Elise stood quaintly outside of the guild hall, in front of the pillar that supported the main gate. She looked up and saw a cloaked woman enter and face the guild hall. She sighed deeply and turned the corner, looking straight at the large building. She briskly entered and sat down at the bar, asking for a small cup of ale. Elise brushed her untidy hair out of her face while she examined her surroundings. As usual, the guild hall was rowdy. A smile creeped up on her face, because it was just what she had loved about the place.

@Gareth
Elise looked over and saw Bert shuffling cards... Was it Bert? She wasn't sure, she hadn't had too much of a strong relationship with any of the people in the guild, but she'd seen him speaking with others sometimes. Elise decided to move a bit closer to him, she spoke clearly. "Nothing good on the mission board?"

[Gareth]

Bert was deep in thought letting his cards slide together between his fingers when, "Nothing good on the missions board?"

@Whitewind

The cards fell to the counter top as he turned to see Elise. "Well for me I've done most of them before. Capture this bad guy, save this person, protect this thing..." He said as he rolled his eyes to show he felt about all these old style missions.

He kind of knew Elise a little bit, he's seen the Guild Master speak about her before and Bert didn't remember a bad word said about her. He leaned towards her and whispered, "I've heard about a tournament between different guilds, and the winner gets a large amount of money and bragging rights." He grinned. "I'm going to enter it and hopefully win. What about yourself, Elise?" He asked with a twinkle in his eye. "Care to take a gamble?" He asked as he took a coin from his pocket and flipped it off his thumb and into the air.

Donivan was sitting in the guild hall eating breakfast on one of the tables. He was in his fourth plate of eggs and bacon, something normal form him when every he is at the guild. He had just come back from a mission and was dying for a good meal.

"Yes!!!!!! Food is soooo good." Donivan said loudly while patting his stomach as he put his fork down.

Donivan had been back for a few days and had been stuffing has face the whole time but now he was getting an itch to get back out there and do some more missions. But there was one problem, he hated going on them by himself it was always boring. Having someone with You just enhanced the experience.

Donivan looked down at his empty plate and then looked around at the different guild members walking around with a scowl on his face. He need to find a good partner to go on a mission with.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin looked at the board. Most of the jobs were simple ones. Not that he cared. He just wanted stay to stay busy. The busier he was the less he thought the less the thought the better. He tended to think about the past when he had too much time on his hands. He didn't really want to take any of the jobs. Which meant he would be spend the day in the guild. He had mixed feelings about that. He wasn't much of a people person.

[RaeoftheLight]

After staring at the board for quite a while, Moeasha finally decided on the mission 'Find Lost Father'. She took the paper down and stuffed it into her cloak pocket. Smiling, Moeasha made her way over to the bar for a quick drink and bite to eat before heading out on her mission. She asked the kindly woman behind the bar for a soup and large glass of strawberry lemonade. Moesha spun around in her chair, waiting for her order, watching the people move about the guild hall.

Charles would come walking into the guild, his chain wrapped around his arm, and a bag in his hand. coming from a job, he yawns stretching "...tired..." he would look around seeing his other guild mates going about their business. he wondered if he should bother speaking to them, then changes his mind and yawns again.

@RaeoftheLight
With silent purposeful strides Azerus made his way to the vacant seat besides Moeasha. With a throat clearing cough he bumps against her as he takes his seat.

"Moeshy, Moeshy..." he says softly whilst shaking his head looking down at the table.
He raises a hand and held between his fingers is the job ticket he slipped from her cloak pocket. In an instant it goes up in a flash of white flames.

"You really gotta start aiming bigger, like this one." he says as he lays out a new job card before her. It wasn't on the board earlier so Azerus must have snatched it as soon as it was put up.
The reward was nearly four times that of what Moeasha's previous job was, but Azerus wasn't in it for the money.

It was a monster hunting job, the beast was terrorising a nearby fishing town... And there it was, Moeasha's powers would be useful at a seaside location.

Azerus just stared at her patiently, his empty daring eyes examining hers, a self-serving charming grin painted on his lips.

[RaeoftheLight]

@Dark Light
Moeasha watched as her mission went up in smoke, frowning.

"Hey!" she said indignantly, but then paused to examine the mission Azerus had placed down. She had heard the rumors others of the guild often whispered about Azerus, but she had yet to personally converse with him. The mission was a hefty sum more than her last one, and Moeasha was still going to trust that her horoscope was correct! Smiling, Moeasha nodded.

"Thank you! This job is perfect for me. But I will split money with you, yes?" Just then Moeasha's drink and food were placed down and she thanked the bartender and dug in, enjoying the warm soup and refreshing strawberry lemonade.

[Dark Light]

@RaeoftheLight
"Whatever." he says dismissively as he waves away the thought of money.
"You can help with the investigation, search and what ever troubles that come along the way, but the beast, the big ol monster, what ever it is, it is mine! Ok?"

Azerus speaks matter-of-factly, his finger assertively tapping down heavily on the paper. Before Moeasha can reply Azerus stands.
"You have one hour to eat and get ready, we leave then after.
Oh and please know I will not tolerate lateness so I advise that you don't test my patience."

Then with a very polite, proper and gentlemanly bow Azerus gives her a warm smile and walks away but not before saying one last thing.
"Welcome to the team."

[RaeoftheLight]

@Dark Light

Moeasha shrugged, she was fine letting Azerus kill the monster, if that meant she got the money. Moeasha quickly finished up her meal, left her tip on the bar top, and headed to refill her water skein, then she stood outside the guild hall. She knew she was early, but Azerus did say he didn't want her to be tardy, so Moeasha figured she would play it safe. Everything she owned was on her person, anyway.

[Dark Light]

The clopping of hooves approached the guild at a mere five minutes prior the set rendezvous time. Azerus reaches down a helping hand to Moeasha from atop a brilliant white lean stallion.
He seemed unimpressed with the fine horse.
"You don't mind riding through the night?" he asks.
As always his questions didn't seem much like questions at all.
"We have quite the distance to cover."

[RaeoftheLight]

"A horse!" Moeasha exclaimed in awe. She grinned and responded, "That is fine! Though I will eventually need rest. So I may work at my best!" Moeasha giggled as she realized she had rhymed. The human language is so fun!, she thought to herself.

As they rode along, Moeasha watched the sights pass by, grinning happily. This was her first horseback ride since coming to Fiore. But she quickly sobered while thinking of the coming mission. She needed to be serious and assist in any way she could!

They ran wildly and freely through the brisk cool air of the falling night.
After darkness began to set Azerus held out his hand in front of them and a swirling ball of white flame appeared in his palm giving them a guiding light and a small wisp of warmth.

They made it to the small fishing town a few hours before midnight. The horses energy was surprisingly faultless, it appeared it could carry on even further. Azerus on the other hand was suspiciously showing signs of fatigue.

He dismounted and offered a helping hand. His gentlemanly nature showing once again. The town had a simple yet quaint humble beauty.
The moon glistened against the nearby gently crashing waves serenading the cobble streets with its song.

It was quiet and dark, Azerus didn't see or hear the commotion of a fierce monster battle that he had been hoping for. "Ok, you are up. Find me my monster." His disappointment quickly growing into an eager excitement.

[RaeoftheLight]

Moeasha thanked Azerus as he helped her down. She felt the fading warmth of the cobblestones beneath her bare feet as they still held stubbornly to the heat of the days sun. She breathed in deep, feeling the ocean in the air.

"Such a pretty town," Moeasha breathed out. "Why would a monster target it?" She looked to Azerus, "Perhaps we should find an inn for the night. Not many people will be awake at this hour, I think. Plus we've been riding since morning. You look like a rest would do you good, and I also would like to sleep."

[Dark Light]

"I could wake them!" A very serious and mischievous gleam took over Azerus's face. He held up a small bright sparking ball of flame.
The light highlighted the unnatural bags beneath his eyes and it was evident he strained to control his wavering magic.
As a bead of sweat ran down his forehead he succumb.
"Alright, we will do it your way. You deal with the people in the morning and find out what you can. This way."

Azerus spotted the nearest tavern and led them to it. As they walked towards it his eyes meticulously scanned the passing buildings, the towns silence was beginning make him feel nervous.

"I think I saw some stables near the east entry, head on in and get a room, I will be back shortly."
With that he hands her a small pouch of coins and climbs back onto his horse to trot away down the dark street.
