Mission 22 [voice/action]

[redhairedknight]

[Erza's horoscope reads:
Aries
-Your father is not an astronaut.  
-A stranger may mean you harm this week so greet everyone with a blood-curdling shriek.
-While you were away from home, a stranger showered in your bathroom.
-Buy a cat and name it Chris. It will get you out of a jam.

Naturally, she doesn't believe a word of it.]

This is absolutely ridiculous.  And what's an astronaut?  

[The only one which sounds remotely plausible would be the third one, so after finding out what an astronaut is, she heads back to her apartment.  Will she find anyone there?  Who knows!]

((OoC: I haven't really planned anything for this event, so anything goes!))

An astronaut is a person who has been trained to go into space on a ship. They've gone to the moon, where I come from.

[He let the words hang for a beat.]

Yes. People have walked on the moon.

[voice]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

What? How could anyone make a ship go into space? I mean, there are flying ships, but I've never heard of one that could go that high...

[voice]

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of dedication.

[He himself had never heard of flying ships per se, unless air planes counted as such. It also never occured to him that the woman on the other end might have no idea what he was talking about...]

[voice]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

...Really. Because I've tried throwing things at the moon before, and they've never managed to get nearly that far. [...Don't ask.]

[voice]

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

Well, it takes more than that. You see, you need a vehicle. And propulsion. And fuel. It's a little like a car, but instead of driving on a road it shoots up into the air.

It isn't quick either. It takes days to get to the moon.

[voice]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

Is there anything interesting up there? [If so, that would explain a lot. Like why she never knew her father, for one thing.]

[voice]

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

Nope. Just rocks. Oh, and there's no air. You need special equipment to breathe. But... I hear it's very boring unless you're a scientist.

[voice]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

...Then why would someone go up there? It doesn't sound like anyone would have a reason to do something like that!

[voice]

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

...Science, I guess.

I don't really get it either.

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't get 'em either, Erza. These seem kinda dumb.

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

They sound like nonsense to me. It says I'm going to shriek at every stranger I meet. I'd never shriek. [Yell, yes. Terrify, sure. But she couldn't see herself shrieking.] What sort of things does it say about you?

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

You'd yell, not shriek.

Uh.....I'm adopted, money isn't everything, I should take a trip sooner rather than later, and it'll rain tomorrow.

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't - [...] Okay, maybe I would, but yelling at everyone I don't know would get tiring. How do you do it? [Since Natsu beat someone by yelling at them, he should be an expert at this sort of thing!]

...Most of those don't really sound like predictions. Still, as strange as this whole situation is, at least it reminds me of Lucy a bit. [She doesn't really care much for horoscopes, so the first thing that popped into mind when she saw the word "Aries" was the Stellar Spirit.]

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

I got a strong voice! [/IS PROUD OF THIS.]

Yeah, I bet she'd find these kinda funny, huh? Wonde what her spirits would say.

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know. I can hardly believe that you beat one of the Oracion Seis by shouting at them - not many people can claim to have done something like that. [Then again, Natsu's always finding ways to surprise everyone.]

[Erza chuckles.] I suppose Loki would see it as a sign of her love for him or vice versa, regardless of what it said. [She doesn't know the other spirits well enough to guess, but at least with Loki, she's got his time in Fairy Tail to go off of.]

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

He had really tuned hearing, so my roars just blew him away!

[He laughs.] He would, huh? Maybe Lucy would have a party with 'em, too!

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I suppose she'd have to work on summoning more than one at once before she could do that, though. Speaking of which, has she got any new ones? Last I heard, a few of the spirits that a member of Oracion Seis used to own sought her out.

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

[....and then in the latest chapter, THEY DID.]

Oh yeah! She got three new ones. Aries, Gemini, and Scorpio. And then she got another one on Tenrou Island. I think it was....Capricorn!

--hey wait, she's got them all now!

[Can Vegeta blow up the tree outside your apartment? He just flew into it and he is pissed off and someone needs to mean you harm, right? Right? Right.]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

[Erza had just been sitting down to eat lunch, and the resulting explosion just knocked her cake to the ground.

...

...This won't end well. Stomping over to the nearest window, she throws it open to see the ex-tree, as well as the person who just blew it up.]

What do you think you're doing?!

[proudprince.livejournal.com]

[A normal person would have heard the menace in that voice but noooo...]

Destroying what gets in my way. I would suggest you get back inside if you don't want the same thing to happen to you. [He's... in a bit of a snit.]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

...Excuse me? I am a mage of Fairy Tail, and not one to be taken lightly. [She really doesn't like being looked down on.]

[proudprince.livejournal.com]

[Well too bad because he's hovering above her, looking down all smug and superior-y.] You think I care about your little fairy tales, girl? [Laughter, hard and mean.]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

[That's a common mistake, but in this case, she takes it the wrong way. So Vegeta's getting a sword whizzing by him - it's not intended to hit him, but close enough to get his attention. At least, it would, if he wasn't, well, Vegeta.] Next time you insult my guild, I won't miss.

[proudprince.livejournal.com]

[The sword stops his laughter but it's going to take more than that to wipe the smirk off his face. Vegeta maintains his position but a seasoned fighter would be able to sense the immediate change in his battle aura.] I'm more interested to see if you can hit me at all, girl.
