Gathering Point[Open]

It almost felt as if life had come to a screeching halt. For this brief moment, nothing were to exist but Mellow and his point of interest. Originally, he'd no intention of staying to hear the poor sap's botched speech for a guild he'd taken no part in-- that is, until she arrived. The heart began to march forward, left foot right foot. His lungs felt awakened, kick-started by some omnipotent force seeming dead set on jolting him back into reality. He hadn't been able to notice for that faint moment, but something changed in Mellow's plans. He, who, fiendishly fist-bumped the very man in question now. He, who ignores those in trouble! He, who-- "Alright man, I think we get it." Right..moving on then.

He hadn't known it yet, but he'd finally found the one cure to his sickness, the band-aid to that little paper cut you still cry about because man if it doesn't sting! Yes, that's right, Mellow had discovered something interesting. Oh, and look at that, she was a blonde; the very thing Mellow couldn't stand. She's a beautiful little thing, isn't she? Cute, too. If only I were a few years younger.. "If you would please.. back to the story, man". Speaking of her, she appears to be looking your way!

"And what do you have to gain from joining a group that hasn't explicitly told you their goals, traditions, and perks?"

To be honest, Mellow had been a bit taken back. He knew blonde girls had a bit of flare to them but he'd always assumed that was something redheads were commonly known for. Either way, he couldn't help but chuckle lightly at her question. He knew it wasn't her fault, anyone could have seen it this way based on Mellow's actions. "No no" Mellow calmly shook his head from left to right, crossing his arms and hugging himself gently holding them in place "I think you've got this all wrong, Blondie". Approaching the man known as Axel Spyker, Axel took a few steps back as Mellow inched closer. "H-HEY! Who do you think you're touching?! Do you know who I am?! I am Axel Spy-"

Peeeeeeeel!

The crowd gave way to a gathered gasp, shocked by what they'd seen. "Look here". Grasped between Mellow's fingertips had been none other than a fake fairy tail sticker; one that can be bought at a store near you for a shocking low price of 10 jewels! Get one now! "See, this guy isn't from Fairy Tail. He's just one of your no-good darkies attempting to con his way into some free loot and nightly entertainment; a scumbag through and through". Stunned, Axel's eyes fell upon the gradually enraged crowd, their fists balling and blood lust erupting from within. "If anything, I was going to watch the show for a little longer-- thanks, Blondie".

As the crowd went to work on Axel Spyker, Mellow approached the mysterious woman. It's about time you made a move, Mell-- "WOULD YOU SHUT UP"?! Alright alright, I'm just saying. Looking down at the female, he'd taken notice of her beauty but hadn't been too swayed by it. Due to his horrid past with Blondies, he always found himself jaded around them. "If I may retort" he smirked "I'll join just about anything so long as it's interesting; that's the name of the game after-all. If they manage to catch my attention by what they're saying, I'll tag along." His eyes narrowed from within "Besides, when it comes to guilds, I haven't found one yet that blew me away; I never intended on joining that craptastic borefest anyhow". As he shoved his hands in his pockets, he gave the girl an unamused expression from behind the mask. More than often people could seem to tell what face he was making, even if he wore a mask.

"So, I take it you're in Blue Pegasus then? What's it like there?"

So much had happened at once! To be honest, Mellow wasn't entirely sure where to start! What with The Rune Knights appearing or the fact that they'd attempted to discredit Mellow for his efforts. Well, that's not to say that's exactly what happened first. Hmm..maybe we've skipped to far ahead in the story. Let's take a moment to address things as they've happened, maybe it'll make a tid bit more sense that way.

Previously on Gathering Point, Mellow had just outed the man known as Axel Spyker: world renowned con-man and mage guilty of multiple crimes such as kidnapping, fraud, and as they'd find out at a later point..homicide. Of course, that's not the story for me to tell-- not yet anyway. The crowd gathered with rage, more than just betrayed by the man's actions. Think, what would happen if parents had let their sons and daughters travel with this man? Well, I suppose that's a story I'd rather not tell. After Mellow "bravely" performing said action, he'd approached the beautiful blonde and inquired about Blue Pegasus; let's see how things go now.

"Other than the beautiful guild hall, you're better off on your own unless you're part of a formidable team.  Otherwise, they'll discard you like some kind of burden."

Mellow hadn't taken guilds into much light due to many reasons, this being one of them. If anything, the beautiful blonde's words supported his many theories and opinions regarding them; it appears being guildless was the proper move after-all. One thing seemingly threw him off though.. she seemed discontent. When referring to one's guild, you'd imagine a smile upon their face as they speak about all the guild's greatest achievements and how they love their guild oh-so-much; this was not the case.  What Mellow was met with was not a reassuring smile, not a excited expression, not even positivity, he saw the negativity..the negativity in everything.

"Question" He returned to crossing his arms "If you don't like it so much, why are you i--"

"Halt! You're under arrest!"

Was Mellow mysterious? It hadn't entirely dawned on him due to him often hanging with people who looked just as - if not - more weird than him; he never realized that he may appear mysterious to others. "You know, I'm not sure if I can agree or not. I've never seen myself as mysterious nor do I think anyone who looks like me mysterious". He took note of her flirtatious smile, she was pretty for sure. It wasn't a few seconds later that she'd inquired about his name, wondering if it was his real name or some kind of stage name-- as if he were some kind of circus performer.

"Mellow is 100% my real name." He said with a bland facial expression, not like she could see it though "Would it have pleased you if I was named Oggleby or Maxford or something"? Wait, pleased her? Why does he even care? "Though unfortunately, not much I can really do for you there. Looks like you'll just be stuck with Mellow". After returning statements towards her questions, he began a rapid fire response of his own; asking as many questions as he could think of in a short amount of time. She was good, responding to them with extremely satisfactory answer. However, there was one thing that Mellow couldn't help but dwell upon.

"Local music and electronics, huh?" You see, Mellow was lyricist. He loved nothing more then his pad and his pen, rapping and singing to whatever melody came his way. Honestly, he hadn't known too much about the kind of music played here; he found himself intrigued by this. "So what did you find? Was it anything good? Please tell me it had harmony in it at least, I'll lose it if there wasn't". He was getting off topic, he enjoyed this topic way too much. "Loyal to one specific person?" he gave a wiggle of the brow and a grin to the face "I suppose you have your reasons, am I right"?

As she gave Mellow a smile and asked him a question, he couldn't help but respond in tune. "To be honest, the goal I came here for was met. I wanted someone to talk to and I found them." He returned his smile from behind the mask "Does that work with you, Ms. Anastasia"?
