INTRUDER ALERT! ♦ open

The town of Magnolia was becoming an increasingly familiar place with the constant and high demands of jobs and other communal labor throughout. When Izayuki could begin losing count of how many times she had been to a certain place, she knew for certain that it mean she could no longer view the land as a stranger. She could potentially become a familiar face to some individuals around, and thus, that meant she would need to be on her best behavior. Being from the Black Rose guild and nation which resided in Bosco, Fiore was only a place she traveled to for work or the random 'fun trip' every once in a while. Yet seeing as she had already been working and playing around enough times, Izayuki would allow her curiosity to get the better of her. The local guild was not a new sound to anyone who spent a decent amount of time in Fiore- Fairy Tail.

Such an odd name, with a certain mischievous elegance to it that was enticing and graceful, but also mysterious. She had met one Fairy Tail member before- a little girl, about her age, called Nashi. But other than that, the youthful mage had yet to meet anyone else who was in the Tail of the Fairy guild. What did they think of Black Rose wizards, who were foreign and independent, choosing to not align with the laws and structure of the legals and the Magic Council. Nashi was the only one who might have slight knowledge of her home guild, but other than that, her pink-colored rose-design tattoo was safely hidden underneath the clothing on the back of her right shoulder.

Today was just another one of her 'off' days for relaxing and hanging out, and as the guild's main extrovert, she could not just do it alone. Her pet and companion, Seika, was very much taking time by herself to recharge, which was fine. The small yokai knew how to get home or eventually track down Izayuki again. But right now, she would hang out with her good friend and former teammate from Kvasir, Magna Victus. He was a few years younger than her, but already an ace and someone she personally looked up to, despite the fact that she would never confess such a thing. The young chef-mage was with her, but the direction she was leading would be that of the mysterious guild of mischief, Fairy Tail. She wanted to see it for herself out of simple, stupid curiosity. It would not hurt, because after all, curiosity only killed the cat, not the tanuki. "C'mon Magna~" Izayuki would go on, happily. They were in the vicinity of the Fairy Tail guildhall now, and it would not be long before a few members showed face.

"Isn't it obvious?" Izayuki replied with a question to Magna, flashing a mischievous, toothy grin as she glanced back at him. They were going to meet Fairy Tail! Mostly, it was out of the yokai's own stupid curiosity, yet it was no dumb idea to her. She enjoyed meeting new people and potentially making new friends. As an extrovert, this was how she received her fair share of energy- she hated being alone for too long. While it was good to let out some of the energy by spending some time in her own thoughts, she could not stand the idea of being without people around for too long. So the more people, the better! And as she was quite the attention-hog, playful, and a bit of a funloving prankster, she would love making her existence known to such a large, infamous legal guild that was known for its mischief.

The first thing to catch her attention was the rough and awkward scene between a poor, weak man and some strange woman. Izayuki stared in innocent bafflement for a few moments before the lady moved forward to greet the two Black Rose mages. Yukinon was her name, yet she preferred to be called Yukina. Allowing a sincere, warm, and friendly smile to brighten her expression, the youthful mage returned the greeting. "Hiya! I'm Izayuki Hyoujin, but you can just call me Iza, and this is my friend, Magna~" she introduced happily. They were not there to join Fairy Tail, but spending some time with the guild would definitely be interesting. She was about to respond positively to the idea of joining them for a drink, but another presence caught the yokai's attention.

The person to approach was a most strange and eerie individual, with something of an ominous feel about her. Crossing her arms, Izayuki turned to her, listening with curiosity and a neutral, innocent expression on her face. "None of your business," she said, lifting her chin stubbornly and narrowing her eyes at the woman at her inquiry as to why they were at Fairy Tail. She did not seem like one of Yukina or Nashi's guildmates at all, but Iza had yet to confirm that. Still, in a way, it was quite obvious that she was a stranger, and she was not about to eagerly answer someone who spoke to her in such a way. Despite having only known her for a few seconds, the yokai already received the impression that this person was not someone she was going to be fond of, especially with the way she talked of Magna. It was not her place to seemingly taunt her former teammate or call him adorable- only she had the right to do that to her guildmates, not some weirdo lady!

At the mention of the word 'Bakedanuki', however, Izayuki's heart skipped a beat as she froze for several seconds, which seemed like years. How did she know? This person was not of Black Rose, nor anyone from her past, so... how? It was just like Daemon, a wolf, who simply noticed that her scent different from that of a normal human. But this person did seem like a natural human, so how could she tell? Either way, the Black Rose mage was quickly starting to dislike the lady and the situation. Coming back to her senses, she thought about how to go about this, as she could not allow her identity and true nature to be unraveled just like that. So, because this was just some random stranger, she would blow it off as a joke, framing the lady as silly, not in her right mind, or just as she was- weird. "A what?" Izayuki responded with a grin and a laugh, putting her fingers up to her own lips and chin to seemingly try to quiet her own chuckles. "The hell are ya talkin' about?"

The next person to arrive was also a rather curious individual, but nothing too surprising for a wizard of Black Rose, the "guild of misfits". In a way, he reminded her of Aether to a degree, and his odd mutation was nothing new of of interest. Nevertheless, still trying to blow off Kanix's discovery, Izayuki would throw her pink gaze in his direction and send him a small wave of her hand in greeting, along with that trademark perky smile of her's. Yes, this would undoubtedly be an interesting day.
