Mission 12 [action]

[It had gotten fairly cold lately, so Erza had decided to take a nice hot shower. This proved to be a big mistake a few seconds after she got in, as she was teleported into the fountain. Realizing that she wasn't in her own house any more, she grimaces, ex-quipping some winter clothes on in an attempt to warm up.]

Damn it... Not this aga- [Before she can even finish her sentence, she's randomly teleported elsewhere.]

[Basically, Erza's stuck with randomly teleporting for now. Feel free to have your characters run into her, so to speak, as they make their way around the area.]

Erza?

[Erza wound up in Smoker's apartment, of all places.] Looks like the Malnosso are getting lazy - I know they did this one before.

Hn. I remember. Well I suppose it could be worse, all things considered.

Yes, I suppose you're right. [She sits down on the nearest chair, making herself at home. She has a long history of breaking into peoples' apartments and acting like she was invited, even if teleportation usually isn't involved.] So, what's new in your life?

[Luckily for her, Smoker's just rolling with it for now. Probably because he does the same thing to Hina whenever he feels like it.]

Not much, so far I seem to be escaping this one unscathed. How are things with your loud friend? Natsu?

[She shrugs.] Nothing out of the ordinary - spending time at that new training center, challenging me to fights, exploring the area. He's making the most of the situation, at least.

I met someone who said he was from the same Marine organization as you. His name's Coby; do you know him?

I do know the lad. He was in Garp's tutelage I believe. Made a bit of a name for himself at the Battle of Marineford standing up for true justice to an admiral no less. Good kid.

Is this "Garp" a friend of yours?

[That last remark surprised her - she didn't think like a kid like that would have it in him.] Standing up to a commanding officer? That would take guts. But what do you mean by "true" justice?

... God no. He's just the hero of the marines. Famous for cornering Gold Roger a bunch of time. And... a couple other things. [Chews his cigars thoughtfully.]

And not just any commanding officer, Akainu had just finished executing Portgas when everyone thought the pirate brat was about to escape. [Rubs his chin thinking.] In my world there is a line of thought in the marines of absolute justice. That sacrificing civilian lives to capture pirates is just and necessary; a casualty of war since if the pirates were left to run free they could kill even more. It's the same sort of logic that if you knew a child was going to be murder hundreds you would kill him to save those people. Marines such as Garp, myself, the kid, hn... I'd say we don't see it that way. True justice is doing what you know is right with every fiber of your being, and doing it no matter what kind of obstacles are in your way. Because it's justice.

...Personally, I don't think that "absolute justice" sounds like justice at all. Justice is supposed to be about protecting those who can't protect themselves, not sacrificing those people for some greater good. Then again, I suppose that's basically what the council from my world seems to think, given some of the things that they've done in the past.

Exactly.

Tch. My world as well, though not all marines follow suit.

And is this Akainu in charge of the Marines? Or do his superiors just feel the same way that he does?

((OoC: Sorry for being late; I blame exams.))

He's an admiral. There are three of them, Aokiji is a believer of True Justice and another admiral.

As for Sengoku, Kong, the World Government and the rest of the brass... [Shrugs.] Some of them are morons.

[ooc: no problem XD I backtag threads for months; literally XD]

We don't have a whole lot of bureaucracy where I come from; the Council are in charge of everything, and the masters are in charge of individual guilds. Our master, Makarov, is the greatest - he's only the third master that the guild's had, but under his leadership, we've become the most powerful and prominent legal guild in the country.

Oh? Sounds like a great man. Does the Council hold jurisdiction over the guild masters?

Yes, but generally, they don't intervene unless a guild breaks the law. Sure, a lot of the guild's members [herself included] cause a lot of property damage, but we haven't done anything illegal. We've only had members called up for disciplinary hearings once or twice, and those were mostly formalities.

I see. What kind of laws are there? The usual stuff you'd expect for a civilization or is there something extra?

[ Teleporting, like, say, onto the top of the roof of one of the community housing buildings, where Senjogahara happens to be reading? Well, maybe not reading anymore... ]

Indecent.

[After getting home once she had finished her conversation with Smoker, Erza had tried to finish her shower. Unfortunately, the Malnosso had other ideas. She quickly ex-quipped (basically, summoning clothes or armour onto herself) into her winter outfit (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100613024937/fairytail/images/thumb/f/fd/02-03c.jpg/783px-02-03c.jpg) again, more irritated than embarrassed.]

It's part of one of those experiments. [She may wear a lot of skimpy outfits which can only barely be called armour when fighting, but she doesn't consider herself to be an exhibitionist like Gray.]

One would certainly think you'd learn, then. At least you could quickly clothe yourself, so I suppose that means you're at least not being unintelligent about it. But it seems like you should know not to do anything that requires you being naked in the first place if this is going on.

I am not going to go for a week without showering. That would be unsanitary, and worse than a second or less of nudity. [She's gotten used to the brief moments of nudity - it's basically part of her powers ~~and the author of her series is a pervert~~, so she isn't self-conscious about her body.]

Far be it from me to dictate who you choose to reveal your body to. Maybe I'm just, ah... "prudish", for thinking that a girl should take special caution in who she would allow to see her naked. It would seem to me to be a privileged that should be earned, rather than handed out at random, would it not? Regardless of whether it's for a whole night long or for a single second, men in particular have this way of getting hung up on a woman's body and the more they are given, the more they expect, whether it was done with intention or not.

I'd imagine that bathing suits would prove to be very convenient in a situation like this.

If I was so self-conscious about something like that, I wouldn't use my powers at all. However, brief nudity is a built-in, and in some ways necessary, part of my powers, and being able to clothe myself or change what I'm wearing when I need it is more than worth the short time of exposure.

...Wouldn't that be kind of strange to take a bath or shower like that? Besides, in this weather, a few strips of clothing wouldn't make much of a difference.

[Mori's sitting in his room at the clinic, recovering from his head wound. At least he thought he was recovering before a girl just appeared in his room, near the foot of his bed. He stares at her.]

[~~At least she was dressed this time~~ Erza stares back. She's still not quite used to being teleported around randomly, so she's visibly frustrated.] What?

[Mori blinks at her, silently. Now the hallucination is talking to him? He tips his head a little, to be polite just in case it's not a hallucination.]

[Erza's still quite confused, despite the apparent acknowledgement of her presence.] Why are you looking at me like that?

[There's another pause.] You appeared on my bed.

[His voice is deep and quiet.]

[She merely raises an eyebrow.] And your point? [Because showing up somewhere without warning and uninvited is totally normal.]

[Erza takes a few steps around the room.] So where am I now?

Clinic. [Mori's voice is still quiet as he watches her walk around. Perhaps in her world, appearing out of no where is normal? He has no idea, but he really shouldn't judge in case it is.]
