[D-rank] The meeting of a fairy!{Valerie/Rasputin}

Its been two days since Valerie arrived in the town of Magnolia in search of the Fairy Tail guild but unfortunately, the moment she arrived she ended up finding a stray dog in which she fed a piece of meat she had just purchased and earned its trust enough to hold it that ended up unfolding a chain of events where she meant a member of another guild known as Lamia Scale in which she helped the girl find the remaining six puppies, after the job was done as Valerie stated she had to find a room to rent the owner of the seven puppies suggested she stayed in an extra room he had in his home for free in return for that if he had jobs for her she would help him out as a different type of payment for at least three days before all debts were payed.

Now in the present Valerie was sweeping up the front of the puppies owner store while wearing a maid uniform, she wasn't exactly told to do this but she wanted to as it would help the owner keep up a clean and professional profile for his business as well as from outside she could spot a potential Fairy tail member walking by and engage in a conversation with them. Suddenly out of the blue she heard the shop owner calling her name from inside and she lightly placed the broom she had been sweeping with against the wall and made her way inside, as she walked in the shop owner was squirming with nervousness and Valerie instantly thought, "Well this can't be good",  the shop owner would go on to tell her that one of his puppies had gotten sick and that the medicine he needed to help cure him wasn't sold at the medical shop because nobody was brave enough to collect the herbs needed. He would go on to state that they had contacted the local guilds about this situation and that they were short staff and could only send one person which was a problem as the location where the herbs grew was a two-man job.

Valerie passively held up her hand as she got the jist of the situation, "So you basically want me to help out in this situation right~?" The shop owner nodded his head rapidly in response and although Valerie felt slightly reluctant she reasoned with herself that perhaps the fame of her deeds may reach a wizard of the fairy tail guild and they would eventually find her instead, "Alright I'll go, where do I meet this partner of mine?" The shop owner who was well prepared in case she said yes would pull out a map from under his shirt in which Valerie took, reading the map she could tell it showed where his shop was and a red clear line indicating the direction she had to take to reach her destination.

With her destination clear, Valerie would go upstairs towards the room she had been staying in and begin changing, she would go through a thin door that blurred out her image like a shadow as she took off all her clothes, she then begun to put on a thin red bra that covered her areola and nipples from sight and then put on a brown coat with red and gold designs on the edges and bottom and then proceeded too put on short booty shorts and then finished off her outfit with red high knee shocks that also held red and gold designs at the edges before finishing off her look with a pair of simple brown boots. Now that she was ready to go she would rush downstairs and out the door with map in hand to meet this "partner" of hers for their trip to a place not even workers wanted to visit.

Rasputin had just recently joined the Fairy Tail guild and so was looking forward to going on his first job today. As a result, he had gotten up way earlier than normal despite his usual habit of lounging around in bed. He finished his morning ablutions as quickly as possible, dressed up in his usual outfit of a dark colored muscle tee with a while full sleeved shirt on top and a pair of rugged denim ballooning hakama trousers with pockets sewn in at easy to access places with his utility belt to hold it up below. He then put on his favorite choice of footwear, a pair of tactical long tabi boots. On his hands, he put on a pair of tekko with a metal plate on the dorsal surface while his shins were covered by formfitting leg warmers. After that, he had put on his accessories: the heirloom windflower light silk scarf, the pair of stud piercings, the ivory hair tie that kept his shoulder length hair up into a high spiky ponytail as well as the kenseikan ivory hair ornaments which were a sign of his upper class status, a set of three heavy rings with his birth stone set into each on his left hand, and finally his locket with a pair of lion claws set into the holder suspended from the chain. He finished off his look with a pair of polarized sunglasses.




Once that was done, he wolfed down his breakfast and headed out of his house, making his way toward the Fairy Tail guild hall. Thanks to his long legs and his 5'10" high frame giving him a long stride, he made it there in record time. He greeted the members whom he came across politely and then headed over to the job board where his keen eyes scanned all the ones available. He was on the lookout for a nice, easy job which didn't involve him having to do too much work. After several minutes, he finally found one, this request involving a quest for a certain medicinal flowering plant that was apparently situated deep in a forest nearby. What piqued his curiosity was the fact that nobody on the client's side was willing to venture there to collect it due to the dangers inherent to the quest. Since he was intrigued by this and since it seemed easy enough, at least on the surface since it involved just one other person going with him, he grabbed it and looked around for any potential partners, but sadly, he couldn't find any at the guild hall. So he decided to try his luck outside. With that in mind, he let the overseer of the job request board know about him taking the job in question and then headed out of the hall and onto the street, wondering if just dumb luck would grant him a capable partner.

After a while of walking, he noted a young woman around his age who had a map in her hand and seemed to be looking about for something. Since she was so close to the Fairy Tail guild hall, he surmised that she was perhaps looking to either request a job from Fairy Tail or to meet someone from the guild. So, he headed towards her, intending to ask her to come with him on the job he had in mind. As he got closer, his eyes were immediately drawn to the unique getup the young woman had on: a thin red bra that covered her areolae and nipples from sight, a brown coat with red and gold designs on the edges and bottom, short booty shorts, a red high knee shocks that also held red and gold designs at the edges with a pair of simple brown boots. Needless to say, in response to the vision of beauty before him, his inner pervert reared his ugly head, but Rasputin beat him back down for the time being. Instead, called out to her in his rich baritone, but mellifluous voice

"Ahoy there! Miss, you wouldn't be looking for the Fairy Tail guild by any chance, would you?"

Fourteen minutes after leaving the shop where she had been lodging Valerie was now well into the streets of Magnolia reading the map she had been given while glancing up a few times to make sure the landmarks were the same upon the map so that she wouldn't get lost however, Valerie was born in a small village so despite having a map she still took a few wrong turns quite often forcing her to backtrack which wasted even more time. After taking a wrong turn for the fourteenth time and having to correct herself she now decided to take a small break near a water fountain to study the map and her surroundings more carefully to avoid any more mistakes as her partner would surely be mad at her tardiness for such a task, suddenly a voice called out near her, "Ahoy there! Miss, you wouldn't be looking for the Fairy Tail guild by any chance, would you?"


As she heard the name Fairy Tail her head shot up in interest to find that the voice was actually pointed in her direction, she looked to her right and left as if confused before pointing to herself with a confused look to only receive a nod from the male in front of her. The male was wearing a dark-colored muscle tee with a while full sleeved shirt on top and a pair of rugged denim ballooning hakama trousers with pockets and a utility belt to hold it up below finished with a pair of tactical long tabi boots. Although it was true Valerie actually had been looking for a Fairy Tail member right now she had been assigned to a job that she promised she would do and she was not the one to break promises, "Wow, I actually was looking for the Fairy Tail guild but at the moment I'm on another task, you see I was supposed to meet a member from a magic guild to go into the spooky forest to gather this rare plant, but I'm new to the city and got lost." Valerie then stood up and walked over to the male showing him the map, "Can you please show me the direction of where this location is? I really appreciate~!" Upon looking at the map the male would realize that she had actually been heading to the Fairy Tail guild all along.

Rasputin heard the young woman reply as he got within earshot and hurried his walking pace, closing the gap within a few more moments. Once there, he took a look at the map that she was holding out to him and realized that she had taken the same job he had and was actually heading to the Fairy Tail guild for a partner, again same as him. He chuckled at the amusing coincidence, but quickly responded lest she think ill of him

"My my, how fortuitous for me...you see, miss, I am actually a Fairy Tail wizard and more to the point, and funnily enough, I have picked up that very same job request from the guild board and came out here to in the hopes of finding someone to go with me since I am a beginner mage."

He paused and looked at the picture of the rare plant on the job request poster and then back at her, saying

"Actually...I think I have seen this in an ancient tome of botany that I came across recently. So if you are cool with it, I can accompany you to this Spooky Forest place and help you out with your quest."

To prove his point, he took a duplicate of the job request poster she had in her hand from the inner pocket of his shirt and showed it to her. Then, to prove he was a Fairy Tail wizard, he showed his greenish black guild emblem to her to quash any suspicions she might have had about him since he was technically a stranger.

The dark abyss transformed into a glistening eerie light that instantly expanded throughout her vision,  she awakened from her slumber in one of Magnolia’s Inns even though she didn't find remaining in this realm appealing,  Celeste rubbed her lids using her palms as she had to prepare for the day. The reasoning behind her staying at a hotel was to meet the mage who she'd be uniting with to execute their objective,  she yawned while getting up from her soft bed. As Celeste walked along the wooden floor creaking noises echoed from underneath every step she took,  she found it rather irritating after a while yet still she managed. Celeste would be attired as such,  after previously freshening up and brushing her teeth,  she skipped out of the hotel while humming a “twinkle twinkle little star chant”,  she roamed the streets of Magnolia and to suddenly noticed a towering individual standing before her,  she only had seen a few Fairy Tail guild members in her day. It was incredible to analyze another member of their guild,  she didn't quite perceive their intentions as she wasn't knowledgeable of the guild’s history nor their political actions.

Celeste stared at his dull black eyes, as she grinned she respectively approached the man with a comforting smile settling across her lips, “Hi!  I'm Celeste,  you look.. really unique.. “ she said though it belied the bizarre emotions that she felt around him due to his standardly emotionless face.  She would then rub the back of her long partially spiky yellow hair while awkwardly chuckling, “Umm.. I'm searching for a mage who should be on the team that's going to the Spooky Forest to find this rare plant life” she explained.  Celeste didn't like the sound of the Spooky Forest but she felt that she could bring herself to at least make an effort, “ If you know where to go you can lead the way” she insisted while holding the quest paper in her right hand.
