Marcus rolled out of bed and he jumped to his feet as he struggled to figure out where he was. It took him a few minutes to fight through his tiredness to realize that he was actually standing in the middle of his apartment half naked. He quickly got ready and ate a loaf of bread before throwing on his long cap that went all the way down to his knees which also covered up the white Fairy Tail tattoo that was on his chest and leaving his apartment building. He didn't enjoy these dreary mornings with the low hanging dark clouds and he even though he had heard some thunder early in the morning when he had just been waking up. "Something feels off about today." He muttered to himself as he made his way down the street in the direction of the guild hall.

As he entered the guild hall he looked around to see who was there and to his surprise even saw that there was a new recruit sitting at a table by himself. Marcus was interested in the new person but knew that the Gildarts would address his later when more people showed up and instead made his way over to the bar where he saw Jason and Erza. "Jason, I think you owe me a match sometime. I need someone to practice with and no one likes going against me for some reason." He told the other mage as he sat down at the bar with a sandwich.
