I think I have the hang of using this thing! [She laughs lightly but it gets cut off as the feed suddenly goes dead. Like it was turned off.

A few minutes later it comes back on and she's laughing again, sheepishly.] Whoopise! Maybe not.

There's a lot of new people here again, so... welcome! Actually, I had a question for people who have been here for a long time.

How did you figure out your weapon? Everyone's weapon must do something special, right? They made a big deal about that when I got here. Mine is my own from my home world but I can't figure out if it does anything different or not.

[See Axel. See Axel looking puzzled. See Axel looking puzzled with a very small cat sitting neatly on his shoulder, mesmerized by this strange device in Axel's hands.]

So this happened. [He shrugs the shoulder that is not a cat perch.] I was near the ruins and... Well, she followed me home, you might say. As in she staged a hostile takeover of my hoodie pocket.

[He looks a little uncomfortable. Watch out, Axel, your squishy side might be showing.]

I think she's still too small to take care of herself, you know? So... [Fidget fidget. The little cat blinks at the screen, then turns to look at Axel and impulsively bonks her head against his jaw. Great. Cat, you're not helping that squishy side showing thing at all.] I've never had a cat before.

[Translation: HALP?]

I'm not sure how many of you are aware of this but according to the calender and Lucy's diary, today would be her birthday.

[What's privacy amongst friends?]

Therefore I've decided to throw a party tonight for my very dear friend, though I will require some assistance. I'll need decorations and ingredients with which to cook as well as two hundred cakes, preferably strawberry flavored. I realize that this is rather short notice and I am more than willing to pay for everything. If you want to help please feel free to contact me.

[Erza seems to be scribbling something off-screen.]

The venue will be Fairy's Sanctuary in the section of the building we've managed to repair effectively.

[She lifts the page to the screen; the Fairy Tail guild mark is drawn neatly in the center.]

It's the on with this symbol on the banners. Those of you who consider Lucy Heartfilia a friend are most welcome to attend.

Ah and one last thing, for those of you who wish to leave her a present I've left the spare key to her room under the mat outside. I'm certain she'll appreciate it.

[Erza nods assuredly and kills the feed.]
