Ari Tunnelly's Story

Posco sighed in a happy sort of way. On his small space atop the bar, a habit most Guild Master's formed, he could see most everyone in his guild ... no ... their guild. He might have been in the highest position, but he didn't own the place. They all shared it like a family, the family he had always wanted. But he felt the same little prick in his heart. Something, no, someone was missing. Posco couldn't get up and leave the guild to look for her, she could have been anywhere. She knew where he was, so all he could do is wait.

"Posco," a small voice rang out from across the room. It was on of the guild members, Celia Fairbanks, who had just happened to get back from a mission with her friends Sebastian and Josephine. "The mission was so easy! The 'monster' wasn't even that big!"

"I'm proud of you, Celia. You've been doing so well with your missions lately." It was a true statement. Celia was a 12-year-old that joined the guild with her father, and she was showing promise of becoming an amazing Mage. "Now eat something. I bet you lot are starving from travelling." The group left Posco and his thoughts once again alone. But what thoughts were there anymore. Things had been oddly easy the past month, no disturbances and no newcomers. Not that he was complaining. It was nice that no one had bothered him and he had no need to bother anyone in return. Posco pulled a crumpled pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his dark blue sweatshirt, pulled one out and put it in his mouth. He always forgot where he put his lighter, so a mad pat down began in search for it.

"Need a light," Misery said, yet another member of the guild. He smiled as she handed over a shiny new lighter that flawlessly lit the waiting cigarette.

"Thanks love," he said, causing the younger girl to blush, "must have lost mine again." She must have been at a loss of words, she simply stammered over incoherent babble. "Adorable." It seemed no one wished to talk to him for long that day. Misery wandered off, leaving Posco to watch over his family. Not complaining, he didn't mind it at all. Listening to the gossip and watching the interaction was fine for him.



Ari had been sitting in a tree near the guild all day, watching as the members wandered in and out either exhausted from missions or excited for new ones. That building seemed to shine brighter than the ones around it, despite it's rustic look, like only the greatest of the great were allowed in. But when Posco left and joined he was only fourteen. If this guild was so great, why was he in there? More importantly ... was he really the Master? Scrawny little Posco? There was no way that could be. Yet she heard from several people that he was. She wouldn't believe it ... she couldn't.

"Are you alright, Ari," Suna spoke as he sat peacefully on the branch behind Ari. "You look anxious."

Ari rolled her eyes as she turned back to look her 'trusty stead'. "Now why would I be anxious? This guild is nothing but talk! And my brother being the Guild Master is just proof of that! No one in their right mind would put him in such a ... a ..."

"Powerful position?" He finished for me. "You don't know that. It's been 8 years since you've seen him. And if I remember right, you told me when we first met that he was amazingly strong."

"That was a long time ago! He's an old man now, probably doesn't even do magic anymore!" Ari protested, leaping from the branch and landing with a barely audible thud, Suna right behind. "It's time ..." Ari walked slowly towards the guild, thinking, waiting ... she couldn't do it! It was to much pressure. But she couldn't walk away now. "Maybe I should just ... sit here for a bit." Ari sat down, practically right in front of the doors of the guild.

Alexander walked through the city while listening to some music to calm his frustration from the last mission. He had just returned from a mission involving an old mans missing ring. He had hoped for a dark guild to be the villain in this affair. Everything turned out to be the old mans grandson proposing to a girl. All-in-all a waste of time. That is at least what Alexander was thinking as he left the now grown family. He might have earned a fine salary from the job when compared to what he did to accomplish the misunderstanding though.

‘Some beer is going to help.’ He thought to himself while turning the volume up. ’Today I just want to get wasted.’ He got in sight of the guild headquarter. He was still rather new to this whole guild thingy, it was nothing like the rune knights he previously had been a part of in the north. Which to be honest was a good thing, even though he had used a lot of time and energy in the rune knights, it didn’t mean he actually liked it there. A guild is very different from an army; it is more like a family. Though it was too early for Alexander to feel as if he was a part of this so-called family. He had only been a member of the guild for about a month and a half, and he still had to tell the guildmaster what his intensions truly is. ’If I get wasted hard enough, I might be able to drop the bomb.’

As he got close enough to see the door to the entrance he spotted a little girl and a dog sitting right in front of the door. He put his headphones around his neck, the sound high enough for people around him to hear the noise that he called music. He walked up to the girl and looked at her up and down for a second. ’I don’t remember seeing her here before.’ He poked her on her shoulder “Are you looking for someone little girl?” He tried to give off a friendly smile, but it turned out to be more of an evil smirk.

Ari couldn't decide what to do. Now, sitting in the middle of a walkway comes with it's perks. Some people look at you funny, then there are those people who decided to butt into your business.

“Are you looking for someone little girl?” someone said. Ari looked over at who was standing next to her, it was a boy with music blasting out of his headphones.

"One problem," she replied with the sweetest smile she could. "I'm not a little girl you twat!" Ari's face twisted back to its natural scowl as she thrust her legs into an Iron Broom sweep, kicking the boys feet from underneath him. Sure she looked like a little girl, but Ari still denied the fact and lashed out at anyone who said so.

"You shouldn't pick fights Ari! Posco wouldn't like it," Suna said, pulling on Ari's skirt with his teeth.

"Who cares what he would and wouldn't like! He's a complete imbecile!" Ari used her anger on a near by tree, punching it as hard as she could but not flinching.

"That's going to hurt later," Suna warned as he followed Ari around in her angered pace.

Alexander experienced something new talking to this little girl. First of all he learned what the taste of the dusty road in front of the guild is like. Secondly that girls with a personality of a demon actually do exist. Thirdly dogs have developed the ability to speak throughout the last couple of days. ‘I was pretty sure I hadn’t started drinking yet.’ The rather confused, Alexander rose from the ground and looked towards the now leaving girl. He was just about to yell at her, but decided not to as the seemingly frustrated little girl (Which is a fact) smashed her fist into a tree. “I’ll leave her be for now.” He thought out loud before entering the guild.

His clothes were rather dusty from his meeting with the ground, but he really couldn’t be asked to do anything about it now. He just wanted to get a drink and maybe see if there is any other mission available, that was actually worth his time. He walked to one of the bar stools and sat down. He leaned onto the bar and motioned to the guild member on bar duty “A double whiskey to start and keep the beers coming.” The member behind the bar today was Kaitlyn, Alexander didn’t really know anything about the members yet. “Sounds like someone has a rough time.” She put the whiskey in front of him and dust some dirt of his right shoulder. “Don’t even bother. I think this is going to be a really bad day and I’m probably going to bite the dust again later.” She put a beer in front of him “Okay, tell me if you need anything hun.” Alexander put his headphones back on and started gulping down the beer.

Posco looked over to the newest member of the guild, Alexander Dawn. He seemed a little dusty. Maybe the mission had gone better than he thought. "So Alexander," Posco slid off the bar and waltzed over to the seat next to him. "How'd the mission go?"

"Can I get you anything Guild Master?" Kaitlyn asked as sweetly as ever.

"No thank you dear. I'm set for now," Posco said with a wink. "You're awful dirty." Posco brushed some of the dirt off Alexander's back.

Everything had been rather quiet and he felt like he didn't know enough about Alexander. So he snuffed out his nearly done cigarette and faced the young man.



Ari had resumed her position in front of the guild, staring intently at it's big and grand doors. She still couldn't see Posco, the boy who cried and blubbered and fell in love with anything that gave him the puppy dog eyes. Masters had to be hardened, dangerous and skilled. Was it really that hard to imagine him doing such a thing?

"How about we have a look around?" Suna looked up at Ari with curiosity clear.

"I don't want anyone to recognize me. I'm sure no one wants the thief back in town."

"Then go inside."

"I don't want to see Posco right now."

"But he might want to see you," Suna had gotten serious now. He wanted to see Ari smile again, and somehow, she thought that Posco and the guild could do that.

Kenji was having a bad time. After a rather long and difficult pursuit of some thieves, he has finally returned to the store the magical rings that were stolen. He himself also took back his own ring, which he had to pull off the finger of one of the thieves. Being rather tired and weary from the event, Kenji was hesitant of bringing a mage, who was taken hostage by the said thieves, back to her guild, Fairy Tail. The said mage was unconscious, had no wounds, major and minor, and was of fair beauty. After much convincing from her team mates, Kenji agreed to help them take her to their base.

"Darn, a few more hours in this suit and I'm cooked!" Kenji thought to himself as he peered through the eye-slits of his helmet. Throughout the time, he was wearing the "Masked Wizard" suit, which was enchanted as to recover itself from damage. Kenji's mana was the price to pay for this wonder, and he needed to rest to regain it. But he had been planning to go to Fairy Tail on that same day, so why not?

"Well, here we are, folks!" Kenji announced as his motorcycle reached a good five feet from the building. The two mages hopped off the sidecar (summoned via magic) and carried their slumbering team mate. Kenji got off the vehicle himself and went for the door, only to notice a little girl and a dog sitting right in front of it. "Hey, 'you looking for someone?" Kenji asked the girl, who was staring at the door.

"Hey, 'you looking for someone?" Ari semi-wished there had been a wall next to her to slam her head against. But thanks to her luck, nothing was in sight.

"No, I know exactly where he is." She knew he was in the building in front of her. She knew that something would happen the moment the two saw each other. But she was still wary of entering the guild. "He is in there."

"Ari," Suna questioned, "Are you going in or not?"

Ari turned to the man who had asked a question. "Tell me peasant! Is the Master of this guild Posco Sebhat?"

Peasant..., Suna sighed internally. Only someone like Ari would say such a thing. Even though Ari was homeless and an ex-con/criminal, she still saw everyone she met as lower than her. Maybe it was the only way she could use so much power? Who knew.

Ari glared at the boy near her. He was dressed very weird, she couldn't help but laugh to herself. He had to be cooking in that thing. A reason Ari liked to wear thin clothing and rather short as well. When winter came around, she was more miserable than she ever was.

"Tell me peasant! Is the Master of this guild Posco Sebhat?" Kenji was alarmed by the girl's answer, more than the fact that her dog seemed to speak!

"Um..." Kenji thought, he never heard of the guild master, but he did over hear the conversation of some Fairy Tail mages. "I think it is him...right?" he added, directing his question to the mages that he brought there.

"Posco Sebhat?" one of them said, "Yeah, it's him. Guild Master Posco."

"If you'd like, we'll take you to him..." another said, opening the door and leading his team mate and Kenji inside. "Posco! It's Haley! She's..she's..."

Kenji walked into the building and marveled at its internal design. He saw mages of different powers and appearances. He moved around and saw this handsome, blue-haired man sitting near the bar. This is what reminded Kenji that he was carrying the unconscious body of a Fairy Tail mage.

"She was kidnapped..." Kenji said, "Luckily, I was able to stop her captors' escape..."

"Go to the city of Magnolia, where you will find the mage guild Fairy Tail, and join them. Do some missions to take your mind off the past, and soon you'll move on."

Those words had rung in Nefer's head as he lurked around the gates of the guild hall. He had only been in Magnolia for a few days and had made it a goal to at least enter, but froze up every time. Feeling the anger surge up, he punched one of the stone columns making up a part of the fence, leaving a sizable dent.

"A great first impression..." He muttered, noticing his handiwork. Using some of his magic he put the broken pieces back on the dent and refilled the hole until it was back to normal. Nefer looked back at the the building and noticed a small girl standing nearby the entrance. At first, he thought about asking her for help but given her deplorable attitude towards the man in the suit, Nefer decided against it. He pulled the cowl over his mouth and began his march towards the entrance.

"Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop!" He thought, putting more stress on himself than he should. By the time he made it to the door, he had his hand on the handle but couldn't make an effort to pull the doors open. Nefer sighed and released his grip, marking another failed attempt at trying to enter the guild hall. "At the rate I'm going, I'll be a member by the time I become an old fart...

Ari Tunnelly

"So this is where the coward has been hiding," Ari seethed, her twisted smile and demonic eyes giving off the energy of a monster. In a daze, Ari followed the crowd into the guild where her anger momentarily turned into awe. The guild was huge and beautifully built. She was actually jealous that while she had been sleeping in trees every night for the past who knows how many years, hunting and stealing for food, Posco was living the easy life.

"They must have found a lost child on their mission," one older man said. He might have been in his late thirties, but looked like a total freak. He was wearing a weird suit with a cloak over it, all sorts gadgets and gizmos sticking out.

"I know who she is!" An even older man stepped forward, an angry look about his face. "She's the little thief! The one that lived in allies as a child! She is the little Night Crawler!"

"Shut it old man," Ari yelled, her fist connecting to his chin. "What ever I took from you was probably crap anyways!"

Posco Sebhat

Posco was greeted again by Elysia who happily munched on ice while some more mages arrived.

"Posco! It's Haley! She's..she's..."

"She was kidnapped..." a stranger said, "Luckily, I was able to stop her captors' escape..."

Posco hopped off the bar and motioned for Misery to make her way over. "We will take her back to the infirmary. You all did well on your mission. She will be fine." Before Posco could take Haley back, yelling began ... another fight. "Jonas, take Haley back with Misery." Posco then rest his hand on the mage that had helped out some of his friends. "If you wouldn't mind staying for a bit, I would like to show you my proper gratitude. Now," Posco cleared his throat and stepped closer to the ruckus.

"Everyone! There is no need for quarreling here, not between guild mates."

"But Posco, she's not one of us!"

"What?" Posco's eyes traveled down to the young girl before him. Once their eyes met, Posco saw the familiar anger that swam in an ocean of cyan blue. It was Ari.

"A-Ari," he stumbled over her name. Sure he had hoped to see her, but he never thought it would happen. Last time she saw him, she was so angry and hateful. "Ari." Posco didn't care who saw him cry, he was to happy. But Ari obviously didn't feel the same. Within three seconds flat, Ari had closed the distance between the pair, thrown him over her shoulder and out the door. Next thing he knew, he was in a pile of walkway rubble with a stunned guild staring after a furious Ari who after him once more.

Realizing his cowardice, Nefer gave up on trying to join Fairy Tail. He turned around and began thinking. "Tomorrow's another day, I can try again later. But I can't just keep on sleeping on the streets, and if I run out of money before I find work..."

Derailing his train of thought came a loud noise from behind, followed by someone being chucked out of the building and landing right next to Nefer. His eyes went wide as he saw his victim nervously stare back at his assailant, who turned out to be the young girl with the irritable attitude. Over the few days he lurked around the guild hall, one thing he noted was how easily mad that girl would get, and the feeble attempts of the flying dog at trying to calm her down.

Nefer turned around to find two things. One, the guild hall was quite vast, with many mages of different colors and powers inside. This would've been more impressive if it weren't for the shocked or angry glares that they all gave out to, the second point, the seething angry girl marching her way towards Posco.

Seeing as a fight could break out, Nefer kept the cowl over his mouth and placed a hand on the handle of his dagger. "What's going on?" He asked the man on the ground.

Kenji handed the unconscious Haley to the beings he presumed to be Jonas and Misery. He was quite surprised when the guild master approached him.

"If you wouldn't mind staying for a bit, I would like to show you my proper gratitude. Now," the guild master stopped and went to a group of Fairy Tail mages engaged in some sort of ruckus.

"Um..." Kenji wished to reply, but his answer didn't come out.

"Everyone! There is no need for quarreling here, not between guild mates."

"But Posco, she's not one of us!"

"What?"

As soon as the guild master saw what the mages were speaking of, Kenji too looked. It was the short-tempered girl he met outside the guild's building. Kenji's attention heightened when the girl somehow threw the guild master out of the building and onto the road outside. He approached the bar and sat between two pink-haired people.

"Does this kind of thing..." Kenji asked them, "...happen very often?"

Alexander was in his own thoughts drinking his beer and listening to music. He didn't even realize he was being spoken to by his guild master before he brushed some of the dust off his back. He put down his headphones took the whiskey in his hand and threw it all in his stomach with a single gulp. As he was about to ask what he wanted another person sat down beside him. He could remember that he had been conversing with this one in particular, which was the reason that he remembered her name; Elysia.

"How did the mission go?" Before answering he tried to motion for a second whiskey, but Kaitlyn was engulfed in the commotion that was happening around the front door. So was the guildmaster who now not just observed but had become a part of the commotion.

Not wanting to use any energy on trying to understand what was happening within the guild, Alexander looked at Elysia "To be honest, the mission went way too well. They didn't even need a mage, it was all a small misunderstanding..." He Observed that Elysia was eating ice from the ice bucket normally used to provide drinks with ice.

"... But they paid up what they had written on the paper so all-in-all it should be a win-win situation..." While wondering how the woman on his left could keep on eating ice with a smile on her lips he continued.

"... It's just that I have trained for soooo long and been a part of massive battles most wouldn't even dare to dream about... Well it makes me feel... I feel a little... What is the word..." Realizing he couldn't remember the word he was looking for he took another big gulp of his beer.

"... I just have this tension I can't seem to get rid of..." He turned his eyes to the beer in front of him "... I was a part of a war some time ago, and something happened there..." His eyes turned lifeless as he remembered the horrors of his friends dying. "... The Red Snow..."

Alexander was interrupted by some man in a armor walking in between him and Elysia. "Does this kind of thing happen very often?" With an irritated feeling of being interrupted and the fact that he went in between him and Elysia, Alexander was reminded where he was. He looked at the person between them for a second before motioning towards Elysia. "Ask the ice girl."

Elysia was sat at the bar with Alexander, she watched the guild master getting thrown out of the guild by the town known thief.
"Oh my.." She mumbled, placing another chip of ice in her mouth.

Once Alexander started to talk to her she listened with interest swimming in her eyes, "If they didn't need a mage they wasted your time as someone else could of used your help. As long as they paid you.." She mumbled the last bit.

She remained silent as he explained how he was used to battles, although she wouldn't be able to relate to the feel of battle she would be able to relate to the part about losing someone. He then mentioned someone about 'The Red Snow' This caught her attention. "What was that?" She questioned him with curiosity. Placing the bucket of ice back onto the counter, she swivelled her self around on the stool to face him.

Elysia became silent was she watched a young man in armour came in between herself and Alexander. The young man was was questioning if fights tended to happen a lot in the guild. This caused her to laugh. "Ask the ice girl." Alexander told the new guy, this caught her attention and annoyed her slightly. "Ice girl has a name.. It's Elysia!" She shouted slightly, the area around her becoming rather cold.

Turning her attention towards the other man, an annoyed expression painted on her face. "Fights are common but were like family to each other, and what family doesn't fight?" She questioned him.

Alexander regret his choice of words as Elysia snared at him, sending shivers down his spine. If that wasn't enough he could also swear that for a second ice crystals formed on top of his beer. He quickly finished his beer as Elysia answered the man's question. "Fights are common but were like family to each other, and what family doesn't fight?"

Alexander came to hate himself slightly for getting irritated at the seemingly nice person that just had a question he wanted to ask. Especially when he heard a small sense of unhappiness in his voice as he answered Elysia "Family... That would be strange."

"Kaitlyn!" Alexander shouted. The bartender snapped out of her trance of following the commotion most of the other members were a part of. "Another pint for me and whatever these two want of their own choice..." He pulled out a pouch of coins "And give yourself something as well; it's on me." He threw the pouch on the counter.

Kaitlyn executed the order. A beer for Alexander, some special red drink for herself and whatever Elysia and the new recruit beside Alexander asked for. Alexander took the mug in hand and raised it high between them. "If you join we have to celebrate." He looked at the armored man "The name is Alexander, and you already know the Ice Girl." He got eye contact with Elysia with a smile on his lips and a wink of his eye "For Fairy Tail!" He shout out loud and turned to the armored man once more "For family..." and with the last words he took a big gulp of his beer.

Alexander might have been rather new to being a part of a guild. But from his time in the rune knights, he knew what it was like to be a part of a family between fellow members of one banner. That is what Fairy Tail is. A family between fellow members fighting for a better world.

"What's going on?" a man asked Posco. He rubbed his head and looked from the man to Ari and back at the man.

"It'll be fine, my good man. This young woman has a problem with me and I'm just getting what I deserve." With a smile, Posco stood back up and outstretched his arms to Ari, as if waiting for a hug. "It's been so long little sister. Don't you want to give your brother a hug?" Posco tilted his head to the side and smiled even bigger. Ari was bound to hit him again, but Posco could only hold back the tears of happiness.

Suna had never entered the building out of fear Ari might have blown it up, but he wasn't a bit surprised when the man he assumed to be Posco flew out the door. Suna had never met Posco, he met Ari maybe a year after Posco had left her.

"You left me you bastard," Ari shouted, "You left me there with that man! After his prized student left he stopped teaching completely! He even told me that he didn't see any potential in me! You think because you are a guild master and so almighty that you can just forget about me, leave me at the bottom of your pedestal to shine it while you sit back and live the good life!" Ari panted and glared intensely at Posco. Only a bit of hurt appeared in his eyes, which for some reason set off the small woman even more. Without hesitation, Ari unstrapped her guitar and swung it as if it was a bat, sending Posco into a tree. Her guitar remained unharmed in the process, and Posco himself got right back up.

"I know your mad Ari. But a day hasn't gone by since I have thought of you and worried about you. Master had sent me letters about how you ran off one day and they you were impossible to find. I knew you were strong so I knew you were okay. I don't mean physically strong, though you are, I mean your abilities. Please forgive me." Posco saw Ari would do no more damage, so he walked up to her, hugging her tight. "I missed you so much Ari."

Ari pushed the man away, swiftly wiping her tears so no one could see that she had cried. "I'm here to join the guild."

Posco smiled and hugged her again. "I knew you would. But first," Posco straightened and smiled apologetically. "You are going to have to fix our door."

Suna shook his head at the sight. Ari was one of the most moody women he had ever met. She had been a star baseball player using someone's head as a ball one second and the next she was calm but shy. He had been with her for some time, but maybe he would never fully understand his Master.

"It'll be fine, my good man. This young woman has a problem with me and I'm just getting what I deserve." The man said as he got up, barely affected by the toss and opening his arms to the girl. Nefer stepped back, letting him take control of the situation. He watched as Posco slowly walked up to Ari, and overheard the conversation about how he left and became a guild master which for some reason gave Nefer a hint of deja vu.

He began to sympathize a little with Ari, until she took out her guitar and smashed it against Posco's head. Shocked at her aggressiveness, Nefer's eyes darkened as he pulled out a dagger. "This has gone long enough. She needs to be stopped." He thought, slowly approaching Ari until he saw Posco not only get up, but walk over to hug his small assailant.

"I know your mad Ari. But a day hasn't gone by since I have thought of you and worried about you. Master had sent me letters about how you ran off one day and they you were impossible to find." Posco said reassuringly to comfort Ari, which in turn stopped him out of shock. Just not only a year ago, he himself had to deal with a situation similar to the one he was witnessing; a runaway girl who was sad and angry, and an older brother who cared enough to find and comfort her.

Only difference was, it wasn't night time and nobody got stabbed, yet.

A mix of negative emotions took over Nefer, keeping his head down so that nobody got a look at his face. Anger from everything that happened to the girl he should've protected, sadness from hurting her, irritation from his naivety, jealousy from what he saw before his eyes. It was a good thing he had his cowl on, because he didn't want anybody to look at his furious scowl and clenched teeth.

Waiting for the two's heartwarming reunion to end, Ari spoke up about wanting to join the guild. He snapped his head back to attention, remembering what he came here for; to make up for the past and to move on from the future. Sheathing his dagger, he approached the two siblings. "Forgive me for disturbing you both." He started, bowing his head and not taking his closed eyes from the ground. "I as well would like to join the Fairy Tail guild. Is there anything that I would need to do first before joining?"

"Forgive me for disturbing you both." A man said, bowing his head. "I as well would like to join the Fairy Tail guild. Is there anything that I would need to do first before joining?"

Posco smiled. He couldn't help but feel elated when his family expanded.

"There is one thing, and that is," Posco paused dramatically, maybe to much so, "You must have a drink!" Posco ushered the two new members into the guild right up to the bar with hopeful-new-guy-number-three. "Alright! Anything you like! I have an announcement to make." Posco moved on top of the long bar, waving to catch everyone's attention.

"Fairy Tail members! I am glad to say that we have three new additions to our guild! Please wish them luck as they are given our mark and become a part of us!" Posco cheered along with the others in the guild. "First up, Ari Tunnelly!" Posco yanked Ari onto the bar and held her hand high. "Ari, do you promise to stay with us, help us, and become one of us no matter what?!"

Ari looked around at the unfamiliar faces. She would crush them all. "I do."

"Then by the power invested in me, you are now a Fairy Tail member!" And without warning, Posco lifted Ari's shirt to stamp her left hip with their mark. "There," he whispered. "Next!!"

"Fairy Tail members! I am glad to say that we have three new additions to our guild! Please wish them luck as they are given our mark and become a part of us!" Chaemi heard the Master's voice as she entered the guild hall. The roaring cheers enveloped her as well as many many auras of excitement, some cheers even rising out of her own mouth as she pushed her way to get a good view of the bar and the induction taking place. Master Posco stood with a young looking blonde girl, and two guys- one with red hair and the other with black. In the past couple of months she hadn't seen those three, so she could only assume they're to be the new members.

Drawing the girl forward by the hand with great cheer, the Master addressed her as 'Ari Tunnely' before her new family. She didn't look entirely happy to be here, which matched what inward vibes the empath could catch between waves of her surrounding guildmates' glee. However, she agreed to join and Master Posco gave her the Fairy Tail stamp.

Chaemi's hand reached for the skin behind her left ear, where she received a stamp of her own. Had she not already been smiling due to the rise in celebration, she would have smiled upon remembering the warm welcome this guild gave her. Despite the short duration of her membership, she'd grown rather fond of the place. It was then Chae noticed that the light-haired young woman on the edge of the induction group was Elysia. She made her way through the crowd and inched up to her companion as the Master brought the next prospective member forward.

From the spontaneous changes in attitude of the guild master to how absurdly cheerful he and the rest of the guild acted, Nefer could barely keep up. He didn't understand how easily everyone could get so riled up by the additions of a few people in a guild. It's just a guild, after all, right?

Watching as Ari was introduced by Posco, Nefer shrunk back and thought, "So, this what it's like to join a guild?" He looked around at the smiling faces of most of the mages, and frowned a little. "Doesn't seem like much of a big deal..." Hearing Posco call out to the next new member to join, Nefer felt a lump in his neck as he stepped up. He felt a little bit of sweat go down; he wasn't very accustomed to dealing with this many people.

Taking a deep breath, Nefer removed the cowl from his mouth and bowed. "My name is Nefer Abdella. Should you allow me to join, I shall promise to stay and help out in the guild, no matter what."

A bit of silence surfaced, before someone stepped and shouted, "About time! You should've just said so instead of waiting around the friggin guild hall like a bloody pervert!"

That set Nefer off a bit. Going slightly red in the face he stepped closer to the crowd with his fist shaking and yelled, "Who the hell are you calling a pervert?!"

The whole crowed erupted with laughter. Despite the impending embarrassment that came along with it, seeing everyone laugh all together (at his expense) made him feel... a little more at ease. Calming down, Nefer began to reach for his cowl when he felt someone grab his left arm and stamp something on his bicep. A black Fairy Tail mark was planted on him, signifying his choice to join.

He stepped back, rethinking about how Jaffar wanted him to join a guild like this in the first place. Then coughed as he placed his cowl back on, waiting for the next new member to step up.
