New Cat in Town [Open/Social]

It was a full month since her father had last passed away and Rina was beginning to feel fresh and full of light. Even as she thought of the word light, she chuckled to herself as she thought of her newly formed powers. Although they were not completely in yet, Rina had felt the light shining through the darkness of her heart. She put her hands through her hair as the silky blond, almost white, hair flowed down with a brilliant glow. As she walked around the office building she called home, she felt the scepter she had attached to her belt as it shook vibrantly. This was new to Rina but she could feel the magic of what it was being drawn to. It was odd like a new mage had just arrived. With that thought, Rina perked up and smiled as she hoped to leave a good impression on the newly found mage.

As Rina looked around for the sense, she made a turn by the bar to see Heero, her fellow comrade she had never met but seen, and someone new but strange. Her hair was as dark as the ooze she had to face off from when she had gone to the Heaven's Garden. Within the magic of this girl was a strange sensation of darkness. Mer could feel her heart straining away from this new form of life, but Rina had to meet the new member against her own will as a member of Fairy Tail. She knew she wouldn't be herself without a light and joyful meeting so she tried to control the light within her and continued walking forward.

As she walked up to the new member, she had begun to realize the cat-like features of the girl. She seemed to have cat ears along with 1 tail that moved around. It was odd to Rina but she had seen weirder, such as mysterious creatures used to test her strength, black ooze consuming her soul, and a goddess of light. Rina should've had no problem with this girl but there was yet so much she found odd about her.

From the realization that she was staring at the 2 mages, Rina recollected herself and said with an awkward voice, "Hiya, how are you two doing?" As she brought out her hands with a perk in her step, she said with a gentle smile to the newly beheld girl, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Rina Everglades one of the B ranked mages here and it would be very nice if you could introduce yourself because I really would like to know more about you. I really hope I'm not coming off too strong but I love seeing this guild grow and flourish with new members." Rina then silenced herself before she made a bigger fool out of herself than she already was. Rina was so excited she could feel her magical presence glow with the excitement of her curiosity.

With the sound of a question coming from Haru, Rina felt a bit of pain in her body from the word "home" but she decided to answer the question. As she spoke she said to the redhead, "I was actually born in Magnolia where I was homeless. Although we were on the streets, my family and I were so close until-" With that Rina was cut off by hearing some sort of cat call as she saw a few guys winking at Rina and others looking straight at Haru giving a thumbs up. As Rina looked down, she tried to stop herself but instead, she felt overcome with anger as she threw a shoe at one of the perverted men.

As she threw it she realized what she had done, and with the sincerest apology she said to him, "I'm so sorry for that, please forgive me." As she looked around, the men seemed shocked by the sudden burst of anger from Rina. She walked back to her little group and apologized for her rash behavior. She had a feeling of heartache from her father but she didn't want to bring it up, not at this time. Oddly enough she didn't think anyone noticed because when she came back his little exceed was out and they were having a conversation with Leila.

Rina looked at her lacrima clock and realized she was late for a job she was going to do earlier that day. She yelped as she ran out the door and yelled to the newer member and shouted out, "Hope you have a good day but I have a job to do. Hope you like the guild!" As she burst through the door she fell flat on her face as a rock blocked her way. When she looked back through the glass door, Rina saw many of the other guild members within the hall staring at her awkwardly. As she looked up she made a peace sign and went on her way.

Leila flicked her ears slightly, stiffening as she narrowed her yellow eyes, watching the scarlet exceed approach and talk to Haru. Well, that sort of explained why she had been staring earlier, clearly this flying cat creature was attached to the flaming, red-haired human, but it didn't quite explain why the stares had seemed so... hostile. "Oh, um.." Leila snapped out of her thoughts, blushing a bit as she got flustered over at getting distracted, but still hiding the rest of her emotions behind a straight-faced mask, "Yes, I was actually born in Joya." Leila answered, a little surprised that he knew of her homeland. She cursed internally at herself, it shouldn't be surprising to find out a wizard knows of other lands, it's just common sense to do your research on places.

Leila listened carefully to Rina's sad tale, she knew what it was like to be left without a home, although her circumstances were quite different. However, before the female could finish her story she suddenly went and threw her shoe at one of the men in the guild. Leila hadn't been paying attention to anyone outside their little circle of three and was quite shocked and unsure about what exactly had just happened. Haru had mentioned something about the two females being a hit with the boys, she narrowed her eyes at the remark, she had no time for their childish games. However she was still quite shocked at Rina's reaction and before she could fully comrehend the mage mentioned needing to be somewhere. "Um, bye." Leila muttered as the green-haired girl went to make her way outside, only to come crashing down, her face meeting the ground, Leila didn't want to appear rude, so she stifled her laughter, turning in a way that Rina wouldn't be able to see her holding it in. What a weird person.

Once the commotion wore down, Leila straightened her face and found herself once more speaking alone to the ruby-haired male and the exceed whose fur seemed to match. It was then she noticed that the one Haru called 'Ruby' was staring at her with what appeared to be intense hatred. Leila wondered what she had done upset her, honestly she had no clue. "Well I can't wait to be a part of such a wonderful community then." Leila responded, "And, don't worry, while I like my alone time, I'm not completely adverse to the idea of teaming up to get a job done." she finished with a devilish smile and a wink in Haru's direction, waiting to see if that would get some sort of reaction out of him. Leila needed information after all and the best way was working with people, plus while she was fairly confident of her abilities she knew she'd require the help of stronger mages for more difficult missions in order to make a living.
