Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tsugaru noticed all of the malicious glares that were being directed at him, and eventually caved in. "G-geez, I'll tell you already! No need to murder me! But let me warn you, if you intend to rescue her you can't be direct about it. It may seem to all of you that Thero's magic is to steal secrets, but his magic isn't that limited. His real magic is to steal energy from the mind, and placing that energy in books is how he accomplishes his blackmail business. Originally, once he got the books I was supposed to shield him in rocks while we made our escape. Now that I'm out of the picture, though, he'll probably be using his magic to disrupt your ability to think. Secondly, if Waru sees anyone trying to rescue that girl, his orders are to teleport to the top of the roof and kick her off. Knowing him, though, he'll probably chicken out. That's why he's an ex-Grimoire Heart member, after all." After Tsugaru was done spilling his secrets, he levitated a rock into his hand and started rolling it around nervously. "Now, I did my part of the deal, so you'll leave me alone, right? Me and Waru only teamed up with that guy because dark guilds don't like to have 'ex-members'... Have a heart, will ya?" Tsugaru put on his best puppy-dog eyes he could, and hoped he wasn't going to get annihalated.

Zerkon listened intently while Tsugaru talked. "Hhm... must keep my thoughts straight. I wonder if they knew Tire was a mind mage; that may have been another reason for her initial capture." Zerkon paced and began looking at the map,and began focusing. However, he was so focused that He hadn't sensed the newcomer's presence, and nearly jumped when he turned after hearing Shinia adress him. "Wah!" Straightening his compsure, he stood up..." We've had some problems with a guild member, but we're making a plan to go and rescue her. You look like you might have been heading to Porlyuscia's, but she's most likely not in the mood to deal with anyone else, so you might be better off going home.Not like you'd have any other reason to be out in this forest..." Zerkon kept a small glare at Kharne; He has never seen him around the guild, so he didn't know what to expect. Of course, he could've been a member for a while; Zerkon never had paid much attention to newcomers...

He turned to Kharne and began speaking "Well, to put things in perspective, I broke into her home to see a friend who got promptly kindnapped. She's probably not too happy. But I digress."

(In the future, please refrain from double posting, Kharne. It you have to add something, just your edit your previous post and let us know, please and thank you.)

When Jeri heard Tsugaru mention Tiresia getting kicked off the roof, she recoiled in shock. She was about to speak up in protest, when she noticed the newcomer arriving. Jeri wasn't very good at strategizing, so she kept silent when everyone was talking. When Kharne mentioned his ability, however, Dreamer decided to speak up. "I have been gifted with the power to bring echoes and dreams into reality. Combined with your ability, it could allow us to drift into the compound unnoticed, while the foe's attention is diverted towards one of my creations. What say you?"

While everyone was discussing how to go about the rescue strategy, Tsugaru pulled up a wall of rocks in front of him and lept backwards away from the group. "I told you all I know, so I'm staying out of the rest of it! Even if you guys take me hostage, all that stuff I told you Thero can do he'll do to me! I'll find my own way to settle the score later!"As Tsugaru retreated into the forest, he levitated and threw rocks in front of him to cover his escape.

Herald, who finally decided to check on Tiresia, saw Tsugaru retreating, but was hit in the face with a rock before he could react. Herald became enraged and regretted letting him go, but noticed that Silver and the others were gathered outside of Porlyusica's house with grim looks on their faces and decided it was more important at the moment. Did the girl die from her illness already? That figures, Ladencia bugs me to abandon my schedule to come here and there's nothing to be done. Why does he always insist on doing things that have no purpose? Despite how much Ladencia was suffering right now, Herald spoke up to the group in a horribly indifferent tone. "The girl died, I assume. Will there be a funeral?"

Silver, anymore attacks on your mind would render you unstable. I prefer you not to meet this Thero character Adrian warned his brother with concern, the last invasion of his psyche did something to him, and Adrian still isn't sure if it was reversible. You of all people should know how deep my desire is to succeed on this rescue Silver replied before suddenly feeling uncomfortable with the large number of people around him.

Noticing Tsugaru escape, the space mage created a portal by his lips that connected to Tsugaru's ear. Mark my words, if any of what you told us is a lie, I will find you. was all that was heard from the portal before promptly vanishing. After doing so he turned back to the group.

Not dead, kidnapped Silver replied to Herald with the same icy tone he often used.

Zerkon noted Herald's presence with a small nod, albiet a begrudged one. He still wasn't happy with Ladencia being in Fairy Tail, or just being around him in general. However, he told himself, it was for the good of rescuing Tiresa. When he heard the comments about sound and light magic his mood lightened. However, he did need to bring reason to the group of people. "That is a good plan, but keep in mind if he can mess with our mind, then sneaking in will do no good if we start fighting amongst ourselves at the slightest sign of oddity in our behavior. I suggest that we split up and send in a party from the front, comprised of me, Lia,and possibly Silver, carrying the books in to focus Thero's attention. In the mean time, Shinia, Jeri, and...You..." he pointed to Kharne, not remembering if he ever stated his name. "...will go in from the side, disguing yourselves, with the purpose of resucing Tiresa. Keep in mind that though Tsugaru said Waru,who I am assuming is keeping Tire captive, might chicken out, we can't count on that happening, so be prepared to fight just in case; That's why I'm sending Shinia with you." He turned to Jeri, beginning to inquire further. "Jeri, how far can he be away from you and still use his powers?" He indicated Dreamer, beginning to formulate another plan.
