[Video] Re-arrivals and Introductions.

[scarletrequip]

[The screen shows(to some of you) a familiar red-head, covered in bandages though she doesn't appear to be in any pain. Her hands are clasped over her lap and the eagle-eyed will notice she's in a hospital bed.]

The Initiative does pick the most inopportune moments to draw us back here...

[There is a brief flicker of angst on her features before she smiles again.]

Some of you may remember me but for those of you who have just arrived my name is Erza Scarlet. I hope my guild mates haven't caused you any trouble.

[Natsu getting into fights, Lucy flashing people and Juvia breaking and entering; and there was a lot worse they could have done in her absence. There's small pause.]

I don't suppose anyone could tell me how long I've been gone?

[Locked to Fairy Tail.]

I would very much like to see you all as soon as possible.

[After all she can't really go them at the moment.]

[ What th.. WHO ..W ..she wasn't flashing ANYONE D: ]

Erza..!!

Wha -- hold on, I'll be right there.

[ Video ] -> [Action]

[scarletrequip]

[SHE COULD HAVE D: Erza gives a silent affirmation and proceeds to wait.]

---

[So much had happened in such a short amount of time, it had taken a little time for Erza to get her thoughts in order after being brought back to Exsilium so suddenly. Erza flexes her fingers while waiting for Lucy; there wasn't much else she could do.]

[Action]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy's disconnection is probably abrupt, but who cares, right? She's already rushing out the door, fretting. How badly did the tournament go if Erza was that badly hurt? It was so rare to see Erza in such a state - thinking of her being in the infirmary was just... impossible!

After a minor kerfuffle with the doctors, one who recognized her from her last time there during the vampire attack, all Lucy had to do was show him her guild mark when he asked who she was there to see. She was cautioned to be quiet so as not to disturb the others, but quickly shown the way to Erza, where the girl stumbles into the infirmary room. ]



Erza... [ Sweet Mavis what.. HAPPENED...? ]

[Action]

[scarletrequip]

[As bad as it looks Erza just smiles upon seeing Lucy, relieved.]

Lucy, thank goodness you're safe.

[That probably would have made more sense with context.]

[Action]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy drags a chair over so she can sit at her friend's bedside, anxious. ]

Thank goodness I'm safe? But - [ Didn't they ever get out of the castle? ]

What do you mean...? What happened? Erza, I've never seen you this injured before. [ Well, except during the tournament. ]

[ Video ]

[explodewiththerage]

Erza!?

[Holy shit he hasn't seen her that bandaged up since that round where she beat those 100 monsters. Just what the hell happened?!]

You're at the infirmary right?

[ Video ]

[scarletrequip]

Natsu...

[She hears that tone.]

Yes, and I'm fine.

[ Video ]

[explodewiththerage]

What the hell happened?

[Seriously it's unnerving to see you that beat up.]

You don't look fine. You just showed up today?

[He's already walking though. More like walking with quick strides to get there faster.]

[ Video ]

[scarletrequip]

It would be easier for me to explain face to face.

[Where would she even start?]

Yes, I think so. I just woke up not too long ago.

[Dimensional travel is draining.]

[ Video ]

[explodewiththerage]

I can see the building already.

[Probably from the point the dragons came from the castle.]

At least you woke up in there instead of on the streets or something.

[And the fighting wasn't too generous either.]

[of_the_lake]

[There's a hint of amusement in his voice, thought that may just be an illusion.]

Arrived just in time for a hospital visit, mademoiselle.

[scarletrequip]

[A face she doesn't recognize. Erza offers a smile at his remark.]

It was foolish stubbornness that got me in hear.

[And falling masonry. And dragons. And being dragged to another dimension. It was a domino effect.]

I suppose there's nothing I can do but wait to recover. I don't believe we've met before.

[of_the_lake]

I have no name to give you in the first place.

[Berserker craned his neck a measure, scanning the room behind Erza, briefly.]

Continue to lightly exercise when not relaxing your wounds. If you seek to return to combat once more too quickly, you'll lose muscle tensity.

[He could tell.]

Video;

[scarletrequip]

Then what should I call you?

[There's a flash of surprise at his medical analysis, though the screen no less.]

That's quite an eye you have, are you a doctor?

[Maybe she should just start calling him Doctor-san.]

Video;

[of_the_lake]

I'm the antithesis of a physician, my lady. You may call me Berserker.

[He had no real insight as to the damage people took other than what he witnessed happening with himself and injuries he inflicted on the battlefield. In being someone who was naturally 'causing injury and death', he knew quite a bit about human anatomies though only in the worst regard.]

[bittertears]

Back among our ranks, I see.

video;

[scarletrequip]

Yes, Alice. Although I'm embarrassed to admit I'm not in ideal fighting form just yet.

[She side eyes her leg.]

How have things been in my absence?

video;

[bittertears]

The situation has only continued to deteriorate, I'm afraid.

video;

[scarletrequip]

I see.

[Which was probably why they'd brought her back here.]

And how have you been?

[Alice always appeared so... dispassionate, it was hard to tell how the girl felt just by looking at her.]

[Video]

[drizzling]

It wasn't Juvia's fault!

[BLAME LUCY AND NATSU]

[Video]

[scarletrequip]

[Juvia... uh... huh?]

Ah... Juvia, what happened?

[WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?]

[Video]

[drizzling]

[Oh....so Erza didn't know about the whole setting fire to the whole bar thing. WELP. Then time to back track!]

It's....It's nothing.

[That's so convincing]

[Video]

[scarletrequip]

Juvia.

[Too bad, now she wants to know what you all did.]

Not here, but

[celestial_wizard]

[ HEY!!!! XD ]

Re: Not here, but

[drizzling]

[SHE IS NOT SORRY FOR WHAT IS SOON TO HAPPEN. OKAY, SHE IS DX]
