Mission 26 [Voice/Action]

[redhairedknight]

[April 2nd - action]

[The first person to wake up in the morning in Adell and Luka's apartment might be in for a shock - Erza's in the kitchen, rummaging through the fridge. She's not too concerned, of course - she drops in unannounced all the time. Totally normal behaviour. :\]

Is it just me, or are we missing a day? ...Also, you're out of jam.

[Later on, once she feels like things have been sorted out, Erza opens up her journal. It's been a while since she asked about this, but the weather seems right for it and she could use some exercise after being cooped up.]

[voice]

Is there anyone who wants to spar? I prefer to use swords, though I could use practice with hand-to-hand fighting.

[Throughout the rest of the week, Erza can be found around town, buying clothes, patrolling for any wrongdoing, or drinking at Seventh Heaven. Luka may or may not be with her on these occasions - Erza's trying to get her out more, but she doesn't always succeed.]

((OoC: Sorry if this seems kind of hodgepodge - I wanted to post this earlier in the week, but essays and assignments ate up most of my free time. Feel free to specify the date, and whether you want to talk to Erza, Luka, or both in the subject line. Oh, and the AU is that Luka is a member of the Fairy Tail guild; see here for further details))

[Well, Adell's the first one up and he comes out of his room with a yawn. He's wearing his pajama pants, but it's clear he just woke up considering he's not wearing a shirt. That and the bleariness in his eyes.

He passes by the kitchen to head toward the bathroom, and he sees Erza out of the corner of his eye. He greets her with a voice that definitely sounds only half awake.]

...Mornin', Erza.

[And he continues walking... for about two steps.]

[Action, April 2 2/2]

[vulcanblazer]

...Wait, Erza?

[Adell looks back into the kitchen.]

What are you doing here this early in the morning?!

[Luka was just lazing about in bed for a bit longer, holding Whiskers close to her. But upon hearing Adell, she gets up, a bit sluggishly to check what's the problem. She peeks at the kitchen from behind Adell to see what's wrong... And sees nothing wrong.]

Ah! Good morning, Erza-san! I'm sorry, I forgot about the jam last time I went for groceries.

[And she... Smiles widely. Okay, it's not terribly wide but it's definitively more openly than what Adell is used to. Even the tone of her voice is warmer and happier. Other than that Luka is still Luka, clad in her violet pajamas... With Fairy Tail's symbol on her right cheek.]

[Action, April 2]

[redhairedknight]

[Erza raises an eyebrow at Adell's confusion, before chuckling.] Getting breakfast, of course. Plus, I can't remember what happened yesterday - I wanted to see if Luka was having the same problem.

That's okay - I'll be fine with butter for my toast. [Erza seems to be a bit more relaxed than normal, and not as stern - but why wouldn't she be? After all, the only people here are her close friends.]

[Action, April 2]

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell sees Luka emerge, looking much the same as normal... except wearing a bright smile that he's almost never seen before. Her welcoming and openly friendly demeanor is confusing, but what puzzles him more is the symbol boldly emblazoned on her cheek.

That was the symbol of Erza's Guild. He blinks and is just stunned silent for the moment.

He looked back and forth between Erza and Luka, and just looked utterly dumbfounded.]

[Voice] He's talking to the person who made the entry which I think is Erza? But Luka can hop in!

[gomugomunopwn]

A spar!? Sure I wouldn't mind sparring!

[Luffy has been AU'd as a ninja from Naruto's world! So the way he fights is going to be significantly different!]

[ooc: OH! As far as the date. Hmm. I think any day after the 2nd should be fine.]

[Voice] Sounds good!

[redhairedknight]

Great. Did you want to meet at the barracks, or would you prefer to go somewhere else?

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Nah, the barracks should be fine! I'll see you there soon okay?

[Though Luffy isn't going to do his usual Gomu Gomu no Rocket to get there. Instead he's going to pull a Chouji and use the Akimichi's signature technique Baika no Jutsu to roll there.]

[Voice/Action]

[redhairedknight]

Sure.

[It doesn't take particularly long for Erza to reach the barracks, so she waits outside for Luffy to show up. She doesn't see him, though - the only thing that catches her eye is a giant ball that's rolling through town. Seems like an odd sight, but she just passes it off as being part of the general weirdness of Luceti.]

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[symp3thy]

Hm, what sort of sparring? I wouldn't mind playing partner if you can supply the swords.

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[redhairedknight]

Oh, I can certainly do that. As far as what sort of sparring, that depends on what you're up for - I could go all-out and do a general practice session, or I could stick to one type of weapon and work on form.

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[symp3thy]

I wouldn't want you to have to limit yourself for my sake if you have something in mind. I'll leave that up to you.

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[redhairedknight]

[...I don't think Minako realizes what she might have gotten herself into.] Sounds good. How about we meet at the barracks?

voice;

[oftheyin]

If you'd like to spar still, I am willing to spar with you.

voice;

[redhairedknight]

Yes, I'd still like to. Where do you want to meet?

voice;

[oftheyin]

Whatever is easiest for you.

voice;

[redhairedknight]

Okay. I'll meet you at the barracks, then.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

If you don't mind sword to jitte, I'll practice with you. And otherwise, hand to hand is fine too.

[voice]

[redhairedknight]

Can't say I've fought many jitte users before - it should make for good practice. Any place you had in mind?

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Barracks works for me if it works for you.

[voice]

[redhairedknight]

Sure. I'm basically there anyways, so that works.

[voice]

[gavemyword]

Depends. You any good?

[voice]

[redhairedknight]

Back home, I was one of the best. That probably doesn't mean much here, but I can hold my own.

[voice/action]

[gavemyword]

I'll be at the edge of the forest. Come whenever.

[He'll be sitting on a large rock meditating when she arrives. His swords will be resting at his feet, lined in a row.]

[action]

[redhairedknight]

[Those directions might not be the best, but she does find him eventually - that green hair is hard to miss. Once she gets close, she waits a bit before speaking up; it would be rude to interrupt while he's meditating, but he did say to come whenever.]

You ready?
