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!))

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.]

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!

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that was pretty funny.]

I'm sure there aren't many who have found all twelve of the... [Wait... one, two, three...] I think she's still missing two, but that's still rather impressive. How did she find a key on Tenrou Island?

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

[And damn, those guys are just....cursed with missing important times.]

She fought someone who had it, I think. I don't really remember....

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

[At least they didn't wind up losing four months and missing the competition entirely!]

I see... [Well, if he doesn't remember, she might as well move on to something that's been on her mind for the past few days.] So what's the guild like seven years from now? [She's learned to accept how strange that sounds - she figures that, with magic, just about anything's possible.]

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

[This is true!]

[He his expression dims a little.] Well, it's still the guild. Everyone's there, and it's still home! But.....we're not the number one guild anymore. We're in last place. And another guild was kinda picking on ours, but we got that settled.

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

...I see. [She had worried something like that would happen - if all of them had been sent forward seven years during the S-class exam, that meant that the guild would have lost the master, all of the S-class mages, and the candidates for the exam, which would have really hurt their reputation and their income.] I suppose we'll just have to train hard to make up for lost time. It won't be easy, but we must help our guild to regain its former glory!

...Also... what about... [She almost says "Gerard", but stops herself. If he's not in prison, then... she doesn't want to think about it. Either way, she doesn't want to hear it.] ...What about the master? Who was in charge while we were gone?

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

[He smiles.] Damn right we're gonna!

Hah, Macao, if you can believe it! I think he did all right, too! OH! Romeo's all grown up now, too! And Al and Bisca had a kid!

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

...They had a what? [Just... give her a minute; her mind's trying to wrap around that concept.]

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

They had a kid! I ain't lying, I saw her!

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

...But... that... [The next part is mumbled, though it's probably still audible.] ...But they're about our age... Have I fallen behind that much? [Erza had always figured that she'd be married or have a kid before Alzak and Bisca, seeing as they could never get up the nerve to confess to each other.]

[She attempts to regain her composure, figuring that a subject change might help.] So Gildartz stuck around for the exam, then? And Mistgun must have came back from wherever he wanders off to - if those two weren't caught up in all of this "seven years" business, then the guild wouldn't have fallen so far.

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

"Fallen behind"? What, you wanna kid, too?

[Aaaaand this is where he remembers "oh yeah, Erza's way behind us.] Ah......about Mistgun.....you're probably not gonna believe this, but he's a prince from a parallel world called Edolas. So he left the guild.

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

...I figured I'd have one by the time that they did. I suppose time travel is a valid excuse for that sort of thing...

That... makes sense, actually. If he's from a parallel world, that would explain why he looks like Gerard... [She'd ask about what made him leave his own world, but she figures that Mistgun wouldn't have mentioned it anyways. Still, she smiles at the idea of Gerard being a prince; it's certainly an interesting image.] Did he ever mention what his world was like?

((OoC: Sorry for the delay - school's got me burnt out lately, so I haven't had much time to get to tagging.))

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

[Imagining Erza as a mother.......SCARY THOUGHT.] Who'd you wanna have a kid with, though?

We all went to it! It was weird, they didn't have an infinite amount of magic power. They king had to use a weird device thing called Anima to steal ours so they could use it.

[[OOC: No problem! I'm a bit like that now, anyway.]]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

...Well, to be honest... I haven't really thought about it. But I know that I could handle the responsibility, and I'd think it would be nice to have a kid to look after. [She's not quite ready to admit her true feelings about Gerard, even to her friends.]

Really? Was there another version of Fairy Tail there? [It's possible, seeing as that place had a clone of Gerard as well.]

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

You think so? Hn....[He thinks.] I'd just like havin' a little brother, like Romeo.

Yeah....it was a dark guild. The thing is, since guilds had to use magic, they were outlawed. But it was still Fairy Tail!

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

Yes, something like that would be nice, too. Actually, a couple months ago, there was an experiment that did something like that - it was a bit awkward afterwards, but it was nice to find out what having a brother or a sister would be like.

That's good. Did you see the other world's Natsu while you were there? [She figures it would be weird to run into yourself, but it would be interesting to hear about.]

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

--you mean you got brothers and sisters!?

Yeah, he was a wuss. [Flatly and blanky stated.]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

Yes. They seemed nice, though I haven't seen them much since then.

Really? I figured there'd be some similarities between the two of you... [Still, she can tell that he probably wouldn't want to elaborate, so...] How about the other world's me? What was she like?

[willfindigneel.livejournal.com]

Bet that was fun, huh?

Eh, not really. [He pauses here.] She was.....kinda one of the bad guys.
