Job: Haunted! (Shining Ace, Sakura Iris and Ari)

Ari mumbled to himself as he continued down the street in Oak Town that would allow him to meet up with apparent teammates for their first official job as a team of the Fairy Tail guild. He would normally be a vessel brimming with excitement. This was not the case today, no, he was far too hungry for that. Yeah. He had eaten twice his own body weight before leaving the guild, but his body had burnt that away on the journey to Oak Town.

He was wearing his usual attire, a hoodie, this time dark blue, the usual flame design on the sides of the hood, the ghost's trailing down the length of the sleeves and the wing-like designs on the torso all being black in their hue. His lower attire being a baggy pair of black pants with inverted crucifixes that wrapped around his legs just below his knees. His shoes being worn and torn black in their hue. His messy black hair being matted down by his hood.

His fierce red dragonic optics glazing over the land laid out before him. A few feet later into his travel, his enhanced sense of hearing began to pick up on a conversation that had unfolded not far from where he was. This of course prompted him to pick up his pace as to meet up with his new teammates sooner rather than later. He would arrive just as the last "simpleton" was dropped. He didn't say a word just yet, his earlier fatigue hitting him in full as he fell forward an exhausted look playing upon his mug. "Oi, stop insulting each other. You're nakama, right?" He asked with his best attempt at a not so exhausted smile. A few second later an idea hit him. The client apparently wasn't even at their own house, maybe he could just raid their pantry or maybe they had some fire laying around.

Ari snickered "shishishi" when he saw the girls reaction to his sudden appearance. He'd seen that look a lot in the past. The look she'd given him, one of fear and being intimidated, he never really got why people were so scared of him half the time. "Noisy lil' brat ain't 'cha?" He teased the girl with a mischievous grin playing upon his maw. "Relax a bit girly. Unlike most Dragon's I ain't gonna eat 'cha. Human's ain't my interest.", he said as he pulled himself up off the ground.

When the blond-haired male had held out his hand to shake hands he simply stared at the appendage. The look on his face being one of confusion. Despite having spent a good number of years around other humans, he still didn't really understand why they felt the need to make physical contact outside of beating the crap out of each other. "I'll pass." He said blandly as he pointed at the males hand. "Hmm. Ace-yan and Stella-yan, got it." He said dismissively in a manner that might infer he wasn't all that interested in learning there names. Though, if the two had caught onto the odd attachment he'd left lingering upon the ends of their respective names they would be able to tell otherwise. "Beacon? That's a kinda food, right?" He asked with an accompanying expression that showed he seriously had no idea. One need not look to hard to see that saliva had built up around the edges of his mouth when he had uttered the word food.

The fire dragon peering over his shoulder when he heard quite clearly the low whisper of, "Um, please wait for me!" He blinked a few times as he took the newcomers appearance into the confines of his mind. He could help but to crack up laughing. This was just too damn for him not to laugh about it. The girl looked way too prim and proper for this sorta work and the way in which she spoke and carried herself, made him think she was from some rich human family. "Oh. Almost forgot. The name Ari, Kyros D. Ari. Though, most just call me Krow. Pretty bad-ass, huh?!" He exclaimed excitedly before moving past the two. While he figured they'd just wanna sit and chat like most other humans. His hunger easily overwhelmed that kind of instinct. His manner of entering the house however, was definitely off point given he was supposed to be helping someone. He'd simply raised his right leg and thrust it forth kicking the door inward before heading into the house. "Time to see what they left me to eat.", he said as he headed straight towards what he guessed was the kitchen. The whole house stank of dust so it was throwing his sense of smell off quite a bit.

Ari grinned cheerfully as he walked into the kitchen. He wasted in no time in setting the burners for the stove ablaze as he placed his hands upon them and proceeded to engulf his hands in his dragon fire. He lightly punched each burner with his right hand which was lit ablaze subsequently lighting them on fire. "Yo. You guys want something to eat?! Shishishi." He asked cheerfully snickering as he raided the fridge for whatever meats and other cook-able food he could find. As he turned around he heard a voice he didn't recognize as being one of his teammates call out, "Yeah. I'll have your soul." At this Ari just just busted into a fit of laughter as he began cooking himself various different meals. "My souls not on the menu today, Voice-yan.", he replied as if it wasn't in the slightest strange for him to b talking so casually with an unknown entity.

Ari grinned when he heard Ace's question, he'd heard it many times in the past. "What'cha want, Ace-yan? This chump left us all the good stuff.", he said as he continues to toss chopped up slabs of the various kinds of meat into the first two pans located on the right hand front and back burners. Then came the sudden grumbling of Stella's stomach filled the room. "Oi, Stella-yan, just have some food. I ain't takin' no fer' an answer." A few minutes later Ari had begun a casual conversation with an unknown enemy. Nothing remotely strange about that, right?

His nostrils soon filling with the sweet scent of an unknown flame. The fire mage turning away from the food for a moment and walk towards the blond haired girl who now in her hands, a small fireball. "Oi, I'm supposed to be feeding you. Not you feeding me. Baka." He said before snatching the fireball from the girls grasp. He would then turn back to the stove and on his way back to the stove, he would toss the fireball up into the air, tilting his head back, mouth open, he would simply swallow the fireball whole. "Thanks for the meal." He muttered as he returned to cooking up various meals.

Ari, when he felt the slight vibration sent through the floorboards could tell one of his female comrades had jumped, made evident by the feminine scream that accompanied it. He could tell it was the girl whose name yet to be spoken. The fire dragon slayer laughing cheerfully at her frightened reaction. He listened closely to the words spoken by this Teams apparent Leader. "I don't know. This ghost seems like a pretty cool dude. I think I've got his back."

A few seconds later, Ari walked towards the table balancing an assortment of plated meals. One on top of his head, one already covering his jawline and six plates to each arm. He then seemed to simply snap his arms and wrists. These plates popping into the air only to land upon the table undisturbed by their aerial journey. He would them jump up popping the much larger plate off his head he would catch it effortlessly. While he did all this, he would listen halfheartedly as Ace said, "Okay so here's the plan we are going to pair off and search this house from top to bottom, if we can't find it before sunset we stay the night." The cheerful look upon Ari's mug running sour within the confines of this solitary moment before he retorted, "We don't have enough food to last me all night." The way he said this making it obvious he thought their eventually running out of the clients food was a much more important matter than the request.

Krow sat there scarfing down the various assortments of food in a manner very similar to that of a wild animal. He just kept stuffing one item after another into his gullet, doing so at a pace that made it seem almost impossible for him to have even chewed up any of it. Then with out any warning his upper body slumped forward and he went face first into a pile of what seemed to be some sort of sauce. He didn't move a bit, from the view point of an observer it must have seemed like he had just up and died, but if one paid close enough attention to notice the bubbling from within the bowl it would be made clear he'd fallen asleep.

The Slayer lay there incapacitated for a few minutes before suddenly bolting back away. "Stop lying. I didn't steal the cake...", he mumbled incoherently before seeming to realize where he was. "Huh? This isn't the bakery..." He said as he stared down at the remaining food. "Cool. Free grub!" He exclaimed before going right back to cramming the food into his gullet. He'd woken back up just in time to hear the last bit of the argument between Ace and Stella. He paid it very little mind and just kept eating. Even once Ace had excitedly announced it was time to finally get started he hadn't stopped eating. Instead he dragged the table along with him while using his other hand to shovel food into his mouth.
