Welcome to Gaia! ::

((ooc. Right now there's one plot going on, but there can be more than one going on at one point in time))

((OOC: Lol sounds interesting! I think I'll just jump in here~! :3))

Rein woke up with a fright. How long had she been asleep? An hour? Maybe two? She sighed and stood up, glancing around the Guild as she yawned and stretched out her arms. She turned her head and looked back down at the chair she'd fallen asleep on. It was comfortable, she admitted. She stood still for a few seconds staring down at the chair, deciding whether she should just sit back down and go back to sleep or not. She shook her head and turned her attention to the Jobs Board. Maybe she should go on a job? It'd wake her up, and she hadn't been on one in a while. She wondered over to the Board and gazed at all the jobs. Nope.. Nope.. Nope.. she chanted in her head as she skimmed over all the different jobs. She stopped as one particular job took her eyes. It stated 'More than one wizard required!' in the job description. And that got her thinking, what was it like being in a team? She didn't have one yet, and it seemed like fun. She looked around the Guild at all the chatty wizards and thought about whether she would fit in with any of them. She gave a slight frown when she realised she didn't know many people in Fairy Tail, even though she'd been a member for almost a year now.

Theodore began to look around his surroundings as the sight of people brawling with other regardless of gender, people merry making amongst themselves as well as others chatting up a storm whilst drinking heartily in response to Taura's comment about the guild. A sight that Theodore had not pleasure of experience himself due to his troubled past as well as the matter of him not being a member of a guild. "Sadly, I do not comprehend such feelings nor do I have such sentiments myself. I am deprived of such privileges. So, forgive me if I don't share your view," responded Theodore politely as his sad gaze appears wayward while images of people killing each other to survive flashed in his mind. "All I ever known is the dark side of humans. That's why justice is my only reason in life," remarked Theodore softly as he returns Taura's gaze with eyes are filled with sadness and misery.

Theodore just bowed at Devi's comment about him. "Once again, your beautiful smile never fails to amaze me. Then, to honor such a lovely person such as yourself, I shall go by this name from now on," responded Theodore with a charming tone as he shrugs off the sad tone he had earlier in his conversation with Taura as he watch Devi work her way around the crowd only to be grabbed by the arm by someone. "Once again, another beauty graces us with her presence," remarked Theodore politely as he witness the arrival of the 3rd member of Taura's team while working his way alongside Devi and Taura as he tries to be by Angie's side. "I wonder if she's a part of ther team?" thought Theodore as his mysterious eyes gazes on.

Theodore's concentration was then broken when he felt a light peck on his cheek which causes his cheeks to blush a bright red as he place his right hand on the kissed cheek in disbelief. Theodore was speechless at Angie's action that he remained stunned and confused. Eventually, the feeling of warmth began to sink in and to a point, Theodore deduced it to be as though an angel had graced his cold heart. However, before Theodore could say anything or even wish her luck, Angie was already ahead of him and that they're already in the presence of the Master.

A short old man with wild hair and a strange beanie cap and brightly colored clothes adorned the man while he sips his liquor. In his possession is a mage staff with a smiley face etched in the middle. Despite his rather odd appearance, Theodore could feel a strong magical energy within him, which made him understand why he is feared by others alike. However, Theodore also detects kindness when he first spoke while he stood by the table awaiting his turn as he watch the Master tend to Angie.

Amidst the apparent meeting with the Master, Theodore took this moment to gaze around the guild as he felt a wandering gaze scanning the guild, an indication that he is quite sensitive to his surroundings and thus would not be easily caught unaware. Upon his observation, he noticed someone by the Jobs Board as she appears to looking around only for her gaze to meet his. Her hair brimmed of amber brown as her deep blue eyes appear enchanting as they glistened like jewels. There's this strange daunting feeling that could be felt from this girl, even though it's their first time meeting as though he had known her all his life. However, Theodore's curiosity began to get better of him as he waves at Rein, gesturing as well as inviting her over in a friendly manner despite his cold exterior, thinking he could as least understand her better while he waits for the Master.

((Hey there guys. I'm sorry for the hiatus but I'd be happy to incorporate any Dark Guilds to Grant's backstory. He's pretty much the guy to go to when it comes to crime, dark dealings, hunting down Dark Guild Scum and... Killing. XD))

Grantes shrugged as Theo ALMOST handed him a hefty price for being a doorman. It wasn't intentional (who the hell would believe a ridiculous price like his anyway?) nor did he even think about making money other than really working for it by doing a job. Then again, there were people who literally handed out money like they grew on trees.

"Chill out, dudes and dudettes." he said. "Hey kid, you can go in now and if you don't mind, please try not to break anything? I usually end up cleaning up aftewards you see."

As Grantes entered the Guild Proper, the sight still took his breath away and what takes his breath away usually stirs the Warrior's Blood in his veins. With a tight grip on his sanity and a smile on his face, he went inside and introduced the little kid to some random members of the guild. They'd all be kind to her. After all, most of the members knew never to anger the swordmage from the south (AKA, Grantes).

"Okay people, the job's done, the Dark Guild scum are dead... I forgot to bring their heads but I know y'all are gonna throw up anyway... Say, if there's anyone who's got a job about a Dark Guild or needs some killin' you know who to call." Grantes announced to the guild which usually earned a mixture of positive and negative responses. It was usually the 'Corrective' reactions that get to his ears since everyone always points out that Fairy Tail wasn't entirely focused on bounties, a background which he obviously thrived in.

Rein gave the girl a smile. She didn't think anyone really noticed her in the Guild since she was kind of anti-social all of the time, obviously she was wrong. She'd seen Devi around the Guild as well but was always too shy to introduce herself. "It's lovely to finally meet you, Devi!" she said with a happy tone. Devi, what a nice name. She'd never heard it before, but she liked it. It had a nice ring to it. "And yes, my name's Rein. Rein Silverstone," she continued, her smile not fading. She paused for a moment. Rein never really opened up to anyone unless she knew more about them, and Devi seemed like a lovely girl, so she thought maybe she'd ask a question or two to get to know her better. "I'm curious.. what kind of magic do you use?" she asked with a thoughtful look on her face.



Nathan entered Magnolia and gave himself a triumphant smile. He'd made it. He'd finally made it. The city where the Fairy Tail Guild was stationed was right in front of his very eyes. He'd wanted to join Fairy Tail ever since he was a little boy, and now was his chance. He held out his map and studied it for a few seconds, getting his bearings right. He nodded to himself and started walking, enjoying the scenery as he made his way to the Fairy Tail Guild.

Before Rein would grace him with her presence, Theodore heard Taura's comment about there being darkness in everyone's hearts which made him appear sad as he recalls his horrid past, his eyes brimmed with sadness as he went. "Sadly, I've lost that light years ago. The only thing I see is eternal darkness. Justice and honor are the only things that kept my heart afloat," responded Theodore with a sad tone. "However, I thank you for your kind offer. As usual your kindness never fails to astound me, Fair Taura," noted Theodore with a polite tone. "I just hope you won't regret your words," thought Theodore as his gaze shifts over to Celina. "I know a graceful and enchanting girl when I see one. That's not lie," responded Theodore with a charming tone as he noticed Celina coaxing Angie. If Theodore could have smiled, it would be now as he felt glad that there is someone else helping Angie.

It is at this time as well that Theodore noticed a somewhat boastful announcement by Grantes that happened to just enter the guild and deliver such gory news which prompted Theodore to stare at him. "I wouldn't take pride in killing another living being if I were you nor would I announce such gory news in front of the lovely women in this guild. A mission is our way of life, not something to be bragging about. Besides, you're a proud member of this guild, not a stone cold assassin," called back Theodore with a serious tone as he gaze at Grantes with dark mysterious eyes only for him to turn his attention to Rein.

Theodore's eyes met Rein's as they stare at each other as though they've known each for a long time. Theodore's hand just raised by itself and waved at her, coaxing her to come over. In reality, Theodore doesn't know what he is doing as such actions is unlike him as he is mostly a solitary person. There's something about Rein that caught his interest as he watch her intently while struts her way over to Theodore's location, a reaction which Theodore had not anticipated as he speculated that she might not consider his invitation to be real nor acknowledge it.

Unprepared for such a response, Theodore bowed his head slightly with his hat shielding a part of his face as he attempts to hide the blushing cheeks that are bright red while being greeted by Rein. However, after Rein introduced herself, Theodore felt suddenly at ease due to the tone of her voice. "Delightful," muttered Theodore softly as he raised his head a little so he could have a good look at Rein only to have her staring deeply into his eyes. Instead of looking away, Theodore couldn't help but be mesmerized by the sheer beauty of her starlit eyes. "Delicate, alluring and sweet. You're the embodiment of beauty as well. Fairy Tail is fortunate to have mages like you," responded Theodore with a charming tone as he addresses Rein with a polite bow. "My apologies for startling you. My name is Theodore Azaziel. I believe the same. I couldn't forget such a lovely face such as yours," replied Theodore with a polite tone as he extends his hand forward in a hand shake gesture, indicating that he would like to shake her hand. "A pleasure to meet your acquaintance," remarked Theodore as he watch Devi introduce herself to Rein.

"Ever heard of taking a break, Erza? Besides, why else would people be in a tavern if they didn't wanna fight and brawl?" Grantes chuckled. "Just chill for a while... And could you show the kids around the guild? I'm not the PR type of guy."

He then turned his attention to Theodore who seemed to hold a sense of honor and morality despite his 'Aura'. In layman's terms, Grantes saw people by actions and tagged them from others by instincts and less by logic. He was a warrior at heart and he could tell that people- especially in Fairy Tail, always had a past that they're not exactly super proud of.

"Well Theo, if you're gonna whine about morality and stuff like that, I think you're in the wrong line of work. Things get personal and it's a good thing to acknowledge things. Fear, courage, personal vendetta... Killing. They're all part of the game." he started. "Besides, I doubt you're not gonna be talking about things like this without getting your hands dirty with blood."

He then approached the master with a smile and gave the man a souvenir from his last job. A simple emblem from a Dark Guild member was enough to make him smile. The master would no doubt be disturbed but he knew that he was one of the few men who were willing to kill and do what was necessary in order to get the hard jobs done.

"I already took one of their emblems. I'd advise the higher authorities about this little Dark Guild. If you want me to track them down and eliminate them, I'd be happy to do so, Master Makarov."

As if by instinct, Grantes had a sudden gut feeling that someone was nearby. By that same pure feral instinct, his left hand found the hilt of his sword and hurled it towards the door which pierced it and set it aflame with his signature purple colored Chrono Flame. Only Natsu could eat it or it'll burn for days.

"Grantes is angry!" the members of the guild erupted, their stance towards him shifted from friendly to terrified in a split second as they saw a devious smile form on his face and those eyes... Those fierce green eyes now had the look of a madman as he rose to his feet, completely oblivious to his apparent rival in swordsmanship who was Erza and found himself walking towards the door.

"You wanna join the guild, fight or die because you're a Dark Guild Member? I'd pick the None of the Above choice quickly though. I hate lurkers and I'm getting very-"

"GRANTES! Stop being rude and put that sword away before you burn down the guild!" said one of the female members of Fairy Tail. Everyone in the guild knew that he had a soft spot for females. In fact, he was even protective of them if they were considered friends.

"Oh?" Grantes asked as his eyes turned to the random guild member. The rest of the male populace were practically shaking when they saw the crazed look in the man's eye. "Okay, sorry about that, dude. Come in, have some fun. If you're a Dark Guild member, then your life is absolutely done." he smiled.
