[h2][color=0054a6]Grane Falo | Crocus[/color][/h2] Earlier during the day, [url=http://img06.deviantart.net/b7cd/i/2011/351/b/2/the_dragon_of_a_lancer_by_koutanagamori-d4jfd4e.jpg]Grane[/url] joined the Council meeting but remained silent for the entire time. Ever since the ivory and shadow dome, Grane has been what could be happening. This was something that he went over in his room once the meeting finished. To add to the list, some rune knights have reported a strange cave in that seemed to have appeared on street in Crocus. A closer investigation found that the cave in was a tunnel that traveled into the [url=http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Mercurius]Mercurius[/url] underground space. How and why that tunnel formed was still a mystery. While he was in the middle of all these thoughts and reports, a rune knight quickly opened Grane’s door and reported that another ivory dome has been reported in a park and that a battle between multiple wizards have started. From what the knight said, a similar group of people from before are fighting again. Expecting it to be the exact same wizards from before, Grane hoped that they could solve this and prevent too much damage from happening again. He ordered the knight to call and command all the nearest rune knights in that area to evacuate and clear the area of any civilians. As Grane was walking through the hallway to leave the Council’s temporary Crocus’s HQ and end another battle related to the ivory dome, another rune knight came rushing through the hallway as he tried calling his name. The knight’s facial expression showed serious distress for something. The moment that the knight reported that a civilian called in that Frye Gauss was in the city, Grane’s usual cold serious expression changed to disbelieve and became more distress of Frye being in the city than the current battle occurring at the ivory dome. [color=0054a6]”Don’t inform anyone that he is here. It’s better the less that people know of him and leave him alone than someone trying to test his power. I’ll handle this myself.”[/color] From where the last sight the Frye was reported to have been spotted, Grane followed the direction that he was said to of been heading and could notice Sayatachhi in the distance. [h2][color=725039]Frye Gauss| Crocus[/color][/h2][@hatakekuro][@Lmpkio] The man expected no less. Every time he gave someone the same option as the one he just gave, they almost always seem to ignore him instead. As always, Frye was prepared for anything when turned his back to everyone and could already sense something approach the field around him. [color=725039][i]The same routine as always, such a bore.[/i][/color] As the needle flew towards Frye, it would quickly halt as it stopped close enough below his neck to appear as if it touched him. Pretending that he was shot, Frye let his body collapse with the needle remaining in the same position as if it held on to him. From when the Council woman picked him up to when she was leaving the crowd, Frye heard her words and knew that she clearly wasn’t aware of who she was messing with. While he was still being carried over her shoulder and when she stopped saying anything, he took the advantage when her guard was down. Frye’s hand instantly heated up to burning temperatures and gave a tight squeeze on the cheek of the woman’s rear end. As he could feel her jump from the reaction, he gave the woman a hard kick back as he magically flew into the air and gave the council member a disappointed facial expression. [color=725039]”I gave you an optioned.”[/color] He gripped his right hand and flicked his index finger out as a few pebbles shot out from the ground near crowd, each one piercing a guard trough the chest and one through the old man that ratted out Frye. As they collapsed, chucks of earth from the ground that the pebbles appeared instantly flew towards and around the crowd of people who in seconds were encapsulated in a massive ball of earth with the excess earth and dust orbiting it. Their screams could faintly be heard as the ball of earth flew up high into the sky. With a boring expression, Frye’s quickly shot up his magic at astonishing levels compared to Nolan without stopping until he decided to instantly revert back to hiding his magic power. Frye simply said, [color=725039]”I hope you understand how serious I was when I gave you that option earlier. So don’t bother with me or else everyone there will fall and be crushed, or vice versa. And those guys that I shot aren’t completely dead yet, but will be if get in my way again.”[/color] This woman might have reminded him of some of the women from his past that drove him crazy. Although it usually made things interesting, this lady was probably too much business, makes sense since she was part of the Council. Although he respected the business type of people since those are his usual clients, he wasn’t in the mood of dealing with one since he already finished a job yesterday. From a voice inside her mind, Sayatachhi could hear Grane voice [color=0054a6][i]”Listen, Nijiko! Try to restrain the man’s right hand with your magic. Make sure it doesn’t move and do the same to the rest of his body. If he wanted to, he could devastate the entire city in an instant. But his arrogance is as big as his power. So make sure you distract him, get his attention away from the civilians and only on you. Once his guard is down, tell me when your about restrain him as quickly as possible so I can try to save the civilians by teleporting them away.”[/i][/color] Grane was hidden inside a building as he peaked through a window. His fingers remained rested on his forehead as he waited for Sayatachhi’s signal to start. [h2][color=0076a3]Wes Gusto| Crocus, Café [/color][/h2][@Lmpkio][@Caits] Away on a job for several months, it reminded Wes of the days when he was on long jobs. [color=0076a3]”Mmm, several months. Well, you’re not the only one that goes on long missions or take your time when you’re out on one. I’m still surprised that we were able to cross each other’s paths and meet all those years ago. I almost forgot about those stars that I would gaze at night during those long jobs.”[/color] Wes reached over to take a drink from his tea [color=0076a3]“We probably haven’t seen each other for awhile because I was stuck in Edolas with amnesia for about ten years. But when I returned, I found out that only a few months have passed. Since then I’ve been on my own… wait, did no one tell you happened when I returned. Right, you said you were gone for several months and just got back a few days ago.”[/color] When Michael spoke up about Phoenix Wing’s attack on the Magic Council, Wes fell silent with a disappointed expression as he didn’t like hearing about that event. [color=0076a3]”That is something that I’m aware about. Although I appreciate the guild caring for me, I wish Jamie didn’t bring the guild into too much danger with the future risks and problems that might occur from that course of action. The Council might have been corrupted, but by stopping them, it only puts the guild at more risk of other dangerous groups who now has their eyes and minds on the guild. Ever since what happened to my home and when I was young, I wish I could find some place to stay that felt almost like home. Eventually I found the guild, but I didn’t want to trouble them with my past, so I rarely showed up in the guild hall. But it’s because of me… it’s my fault of not being able to protect myself that the guild is probably going to be in some potential danger.”[/color] [color=0076a3]”Sorry about the lengthy monologue, I didn’t mean to bring everyone’s mood down.”[/color]
