Lost (open/public)

Elaine groaned as she walked the streets of Magnolia, she hadn't been here in a while and was far from her home in Hargeon. She was upset to say that she had left her old guild, claiming that she needed her life to take a step back from all the excitement, despite being only 19. She thought coming to the large city of Magnolia would be a treat, she would spend her time shopping and window browsing; enjoying the sun and sound of the city.

She had ditched her signature spiked armour for something a little more feminine, a small cream sundress and a large brimmed brown sun hat, adorning a large cream bow on it. She fixed it up so she could see a bit better, the day was sparkling blue skies and light wind that made in acceptable to walk around in such heat. As she turned the corner to start the next string of shops there was a scream that filled the bustling street. "Help me! Please! That man took all my money! My purse! It had my mother's pearls in it please!" The voice of the young woman with extravagant platinum blonde hair screamed. She pointed at a man sprinting off in the distance, despite the heavy people traffic, everyone moved out of the way.

"I may not belong to a guild, but I can sure as hell still help some people" She muttered "Requip! Lightning Empress!" She called, she changed quickly into a black body suit with yellow markings down each side, her hair pulled back in a ponytail, keeping fastening by a piece of long golden ribbon. He thigh high boots, flat of heel, where black as well, as her weapon, a long halberd appeared in her hands. She crouched down and sprinted at in human speed to the criminal, he rounded a corner two blocks ahead of her. As she turned the corner; everything moved slower, as she looked up to see a stranger in front of her. In slow motion her eyes widened as she knew she would not escape the collision that was about to happen.

BAM

Elaine was sent reeling backwards in a tumble, quickly getting up and panicking "Oh god! Oh god! Are you alright?? I am so sorry, I'm still getting used to my lightning empress mode!! She rambled as she extended her hand to help the stranger.

If not for the overwhelming feeling of fear dwelling slowly inside the back of her mind as her physical body had come to walk among the crowds of people in Hargeon, it may have been a much more enjoyable time, but the urge was so heavily suppressed as the sound of crunching and chewing of carrots was more than apparent from the person at hand of this. Thankfully, this was the best way she knew to try and get over her fear, but in some way by coddling these foods there would be no end to the amount of times she would need to do it before she would think to try and bite the bullet to do it without any sort of assistance. How long that could be? Well that was really hard to tell. It wasn't anything for her to be able to anticipate in some form or anything. Not to say she never tried cold turkey.. or rather cold carrot in this case, but it wasn't as easy as one could think about. Even with a constant companion of sorts, she couldn't keep that running through her mind at all. The whole time, flashes of memories and the agonizing and sometimes paralyzingly fearful questions of if anyone whom knew her when she was younger would recognize her and go after her or try to start anything.

The blonde bunny had a little easier bit of time despite everything though. As the familiar faces recurred from taking some trips through before, it was a little easier for her to remain calmer knowing that her chances were much smaller with each face she could cross off of her mental list of potential people. Donned in her usual attire and her blonde hair neatly braided behind her back and tied off for her, she had no qualms or worries about her appearance, per say. As it would seem, neither did anyone else. It was a good thing too, however she didn't seem to really mind it either way if someone had or not. She fancied playboy bunny outfits a lot as well, so to not have the extra attention was a little nice. Then again, an actual bunny girl in one of those would be quite the twist for anyone getting a eyeful of it.

Her ears twitched at the sound of someone yelling not too far away from where she was. The sound of the word help yelped in such a decibel that she could hear it was something that quickly jumped the normal personality of Gisen's aside. Not to rush herself, she could feel the magic in use in the air slowly coming near her and she knew that she would be able to intersect it quickly if they were a mage. The sounds of people commenting about the erratic running man, but no real want to stop them or know why he was running had quickly encroached, and then he crashed into the bunny girl, face-to-chest before her hand gripped his shoulder and flung him against a wall, holding his shoulder to the wall with a tough grip while she inspected the man. His seeing the demon slayer knew he'd come across the guild master of the guild, and he was going to try and bring the wrath of the guild down for trying to attack the girl. "All this commotion over this thing? That's like, really petty." She snatched the purse and let his arm go, gripping to it in a bit of pain from the way her fingers pushed into the areas around the bone. "Just go. But be at the guild hall for some community service starting tomorrow." She dismissed him like that, without much need to really try to make a scene. It wasn't worth it to try and do anything excessive over simple trivial things.

Without warning, a figure zoomed around a corner and crashed into the thick skinned bunny girl, stumbling down before she picked herself up. The elemental had looked down simply as the girl had quickly apologized for crashing into her, but being made of stone had made her a little more at ease from being hurt from simple bodily harm like that. In fact, she would say that she felt nothing at all. "Are you ok? Do you need any healing, miss?" Her concerns were easily elsewhere, still holding the stolen item in hand, her left arm now reached out and leaving her guild mark partially visible on the underside of her forearm if she'd actually see it.

"Ah, no no im alright, I was more worried about you. I did hit at around 40 km. That's enough to sweep anyone off their..." she slowed down as the Lamia Scale guild mark came into view. She took a minute to examin it, feeling of melancholy washed over her. She's a demon slayer.... the voice hissed to her, she rolled her eyes in response. Not only did the mark on her back allow her to have access to holy armour and weaponry, it also came with a very annoying, can't get rid of, voice of not-so-reason that nagged her a lot. The tree like mark that guarded her back, spiralled down her legs and edged along her shoulder began to move in anticipation. It often reacted to negative or sad feelings. She shifted uncomfortably, as it burned slightly.

"Lamia Scale hm? I used to belong to that guild as well." she hummed slightly, stifling her urge to touch the old guild mark, instead she brushed her hands against the top of her thigh, where her guild mark used to be. She smiled and released her transformation, back to the cream coloured dress and wide brim hat. "My name is Elaine, but the way, Elaine West." she smiled and extended her hand. Even though the angry voice was not content about the interaction with the demon slayer, the one person that could cause the mark on her back any real harm. Aside from her old partner of course, ever since his leaving it became more and more difficult to control the mark on her back. But she stayed, with her hand extended towards the bunny girl.
