Erza Scarlet

[Backdated to this morning]

[Having found some time where monsters weren't attacking her, Erza has time to address the public.]

For those who signed up for the Fairy Tail guild and are still here [she had noticed Cameron's absence, but she wanted to throw that in there in case anybody else had left who she hadn't noticed], I have your first mission for you.  I suppose I never got around to organizing the mission I had specified, but we'll get around to that.  If you aren't already, find any people who are unable to defend themselves and keep them safe; we need to minimize casualties as much as possible.  I'd suggest going to the barracks to start, but if there are any other locations you can think of that need defending, be sure to mention it.

[She pauses, about to close her journal, when she hears a familiar voice.]

What have you done with Lucy?!  Where is she?

Loke?  What are you - [the sound of an explosion drowns out what she was saying]  Loke, calm down!  I don't know where Lucy is, but I'm sure she's safe.

You left her, basically alone, to fight an army!  How is that safe?

What are you talking about?  Did the Malnosso do something do him?  [another explosion]  You won't stop, will you?  I'll just have to make this as painless as possible...
