It had been a little turbulent of late, without doubt many of the members had begun to feel a little disconnected, perhaps from themselves, the meaning of the guild or from him- the Guildmaster. As odd as it was to think about that's what he was now, Desiree had decided to return home to the realm of the crystals, he didn't know much about the place but it left him without a method to even contact her. So he was here, filling the shoes, the high heels worn by his mentor with the help of two rather sugary teammates. He had faced problems before, yet now there was one not about the ratio or concentration of an acid he was adding to an experiment but about the deep set emotion of so many on board the flying city, guild mates, artists, mothers and fathers with their children, the little churches on board which held school classes for the children so they could learn life skills. They all deserved something, something which he had the power to give them. After conversing with the captain they had settled upon a plan, Captain Bojangles for such a small feline he sure could deal a great punch, metaphorically of course for it was the exceeds initial idea which had led him back to the plan. Exploration, it was why everyone gathered, the artists only came here so they could use the exploration, the new scenery or stories as muse and motivation, but the explorers were the ones who risked themselves to carve out maps that had never been made before. That was the heart of the guild, so that was what would lead them towards something which would uplift spirits. They had stood over a table, just him and the pastel grey cat moving around the map which had been crested as the guild ship and their occupants had travelled around every path. Somewhere that would unite them a little, the perfect place where everyone could have their moment, silent forests for those who adored poetry, landscapes that could steal away an artists heart and soul whilst there were silent meadows to act as a musicians stage. The blue light of the digital map under his fingers hummed slightly, a warming feeling of hope connecting him to the plans which were unfurling like the ferns of a deep green.

They had found the place, needless to say the atmosphere on the ship was not settled in the slightest for everyone who had their sight was able to gaze across the floating sky islands which passed them by. Small and big they each appeared so different, whilst one was overflowing with vibrant leaves and trees there was another so different that it had the guilds namesake- a flurry of crystals growing down the sides of it. yet they were headed towards one of the larger ones, it was much like the lands of fiore in one way, with soft grass and clovers padding the floor and a swirling mixture of natural greens and watery blues. Bojangles expertly piloted the ship down, softly landing he barely knew that they had settled atop a lake, the great staircase reaching down as each step was lowered into place, it really was magical, everything about this ship was simply superb. Yet that wasn't any reason to delay a picnic! He had left Theo and Rin in charge of getting everyone ready, each of them fit rather well into the assigned roles as Theo had been assigned to checking in with the kitchens that everything had been packed into small picnic hampers everyone could take down to the sweet little meadows. On the other hand Rin with her eternal patience, well he had asked that she would corral the guild around, pick up the picnic baskets and be waiting by the gate of the guild ship. he wouldn't be saddened if either failed, after all none of the trio had done anything like this, and whilst the local 'police' were out taking care of the idiotic poets who were prancing about those who bore a swan tattoo would be having a rather wonderful little picnic in a meadow of flowers fully enjoying themselves. yes they would.

Feet clattered up the stairs and across cobbles, with the safety procedures slowly running through the motions and the ship mid-landing there was little he could do other than gather with the rest of his guildmates and hungrily stare at the muffins, waffles, fruits, sandwiches or whatever other treats had been places in his picnic basket. Even without the magical aspects of the ship he was just so glad that they had the kitchen they had, for it was wondrous. Hair swirling as if it were the aftereffects of a blizzard he nearly ran straight past the kitchens, only briefly calling out "Theo! Lets go!" He didn't even know if the Jello mage was in there, but the picnic baskets were likely waiting at the front gate which meant that Theo was either there or had snuck back to the kitchen for a small snack. He had slowed to a slow trot, exchanging the odd smile and wave with people around him as the guild master made his way towards the gathering of mages. "Picnic time! We're just going to go down to some meadows close by that are pretty! There's food in baskets so make sure you take a basket. Um, chat I guess, get to know each other and has anyone else seen Rin or Theo?" He spoke a little fast, perhaps from his brisk pace earlier or it may have been from worry. A slight chuckle sounded as he queried the location of his friends, they could have been lost in a crowd, Rin might have been poking a cute frog in a bush and knowing Theo he could be sleeping in one of the now empty picnic baskets. "I'm Lester Drynedi! I know you all know me since I'm, well I'm the guild master but perhaps it would be a good idea if we each just shouted out our name on the way." It was awkward, for sure, yet that was just their style. When everyone was gathered and ready he didn't doubt that one of the more enthusiastic members would start running down the stairs onto the island. After all with an alluring green meadow not too far in the distance and wonderful scents rising from where delicious food was horribly imprisoned within baskets, it could drive any man mad.

A slight snuffling sound emerged from the males cloak, it was not too odd for the mage to have creatures within and this was one of the more common ones. Spring green fur poked out the side of his coat, a cloud creeping in-between the mountains, val. The sweet sloth he had at his side vibrated happily, she was a wonderful companion- gave him mushrooms, looked adorable and kept him warm. The fur under her chin was soft as he stroked, coaxing the sloth out and onto his shoulders the creature stretched out, her body merging into one long colour then into a scarf Lester smoothed the material around his neck to ward off the chance of a vague wind. Many of the guilds members had gathered which indeed he was thankful for, some wore expressions of joy, hope of what was to come and energy behind their smiles whilst others were a little more reserved, he didn't blame them for a gathering of Crystal Swan members would have worried him when he was younger too. Not that he was too old now.

It was faded, the logo and image not drawing his eye as the t-shirt fluttered softly. Elvira, she seemed to know something thankfully, after all it would be hard to look after the guild without the help of those two. That being said the duo might just add to the madness. It made sense, "Thanks Elvira! Hopefully they'll be around soon." He watched for a moment as the summon came forth, she had rather nice summons, that was one thing he was always interested by was how everyone was connected with different summons. Some called from the stars whilst others summoned forth creatures not known to these lands. Yet it gave him a moment to cast his gaze across the others, any late comers could always catch up, perhaps it would be smart to leave a trail of forget me nots so they wouldn't lose their way. A voice called out, a herald to the baked goods it was one that he was always happy to hear. After all no matter how serious the mission something interesting always happened. Often Theos antiques almost caused the slayer to have a heart attack. During that psychedelic pussycat swingers club job they had gone on for the magic council he had been attacked by one of those treasure seeking creatures! After all even little monsters could see that his squad mate was a person to be treasured.

"Rin? Yes somewhere, I guess?" Voice trailed off softly as his mind went over to one of the newer arrivals, soft silver hair was an odd combination with a bright hoodie. Beux, he hadn't been able to meet everyone sadly, and this was just one of those guild members who he hadn't. There was something angelic, a little too much perfection for someone with a crippled left leg. Yet he had a pet, which was warming to the heart for only those with a good spirit would keep an animal as a pet and companion not a slave. Rin, yes, his ace. It would be best to set off soon but there wasn't a chance of leaving her behind. Soft thumps sounded close by as the catlike rabbit, or rabbitlike cat carefully set some of the last baskets down. Rin had clumsily let them drop but the male had no doubt that the chefs had packed everything carefully when gathering the baskets together. "Rin! Lily hey! Thats everything~ thanks for the help!" It tugged at the corners of his mouth, the smile widening as the duo entered the scene, Lily was more accepting of him now, but it was lily after all so he didn't expect her to shower him with adoration. Right, baskets, yes, aces yes, members- yea. He was glad to see them there, Elvira and Vincent conversing. The angel guy, that was, Rosa something? and Sayuri. Fingers softly tucked the mass of white hair behind his ears as he stepped down from the steps, wandering closer with his senses perked to listen to those who would hopefully introduce themselves. It would be rather embarrassing to forget some names but this would be a good chance to analyse those who had gathered, get a feel for the place.

There was the angelic Beux, with hair of spun silver clouds and a smile of the brightest moon with his cane and leg. Energy, she was like a summers storm waiting to break through the skies with its lightening, yet not a dark one. Rosabell Belladona. Rosabell, that was it. She approached someone who he vaguely recognised, soft brown hair on the edge of the crowd. She would have done well in the spying industry for the magic council for at first he had hardly given her a second glance. Yet now he could see the heritage, beautiful clothing it materiel was something he could appreciate for the floral design was rather alluring. Sauri Katsuya, she was chatting with the silver cloud boy Beux, and the energetic Rosa had gone over to join the duo.  There were enough of them to start, yet how would one get their attention without being too rude, a slight cough sounded from within yet it was hardly loud enough to be heard if one were right next to him, he would have to use magic then. Dainty, they would have been beautiful to wear in ones hair, soft little flowers in shades of white and pastel blue the buds sprouted from the ground, blossing within a matter of seconds they rose into the air, spiralling around the area reaching as high as his waist he motioned with his hand towards the stairs down to the island which was ready for departure. As his hand moved the petals flew down, spilling out into the world from the stairs. Most had stopped talking or lowered their voices enough for him to be heard,
"Is everyone okay with leaving now? Its not too far of a walk but I'll leave a trail so any latecomers can follow us."

He took one of the larger hampers across his arm, sending a brief smile to those around him with a little more grace than before he stepped out the gate, his other hand guided him down the steps as it rested on the handrail. Truely he had looked at it before, on a 3D diagram provided by the ships captain but even staring at the map with the cat at his side it was quite different, it was much more relate able up close, the scents of grass and nature rushing around him with the air so fresh and crisp it felt a little unreal. Without another word he descended, taking just a brief pause at the top to take in the sights. This would be a place to bookmark on the maps, perhaps return to later or stake their claim. The ground was softer than expected, the grass here shorter it was full of clovers and little fern like plants that cushioned every step causing him to bounce slightly. It was perfect, a small grove of trees in the close distance indicated the spot which he had chosen out as a small pathway grew out of the grasses, forget me nots covering the ground leading into the distance. They were beautiful really, tiny plants of purple and blue hues, standing out against the greenery those with more energy would be able to run ahead- and those without a sense of direction wouldn't get too lost.

"The picnic spot is just that way, don't run too far ahead though!"
It would be rather annoying to search for any who got lost, he just wanted to sit down on the plush mosses at the base of a tree, look up at the blue sky through teh leafy canopy watching the birds and creatures dance through the branches.

If one had an eye on the whole world, he would be able to see a red-haired boy sitting in his room in the Crystal Swan guild. That boy was probably called Zeshin. Currently, he was chilling in his room by playing calm songs on guitar. He has been doing it since 6 a.m. That wasn't really that important at the moment. A day like any other, at least young mage thought it will be.

Now, Zeshin had a good memory. He could remember names and surnames very well, dates also weren't a problem for him. His conviction about having good memory was quickly destroyed when he forgot about the guild picnic that was supposed to be happening today. Quickly scrambling out of his bed, the redhead looked at the time. His eyes kinda widened, when he saw that he was late. Having soundproof room had its disadvantages. Plus, Zesh didn't really become friends with anyone in the guild yet. He couldn't even expect anyone to remind him about something quite important like guild picnic. Not wasting any more time, redhead ran to the closet, took out some clothes and ran into the bathroom to become more presentable. In a record time of 5 minutes, he was ready to run towards appointed meeting spot on the ship.

Upon arriving at the destination, he saw his guildmates preparing for their adventure. Most of which he didn't know. Not wanting to be left behind, he quickly moved and grabbed randomly one of the baskets. From what he has seen, everyone was grabbing one. It probably meant that there was also one for him. At least he hoped so. It would be so unfair, if only he wasn't allowed to have food. He would have to endure watching other people eating, which wasn't possible at all to the redhead. He knew himself well. Guarding his basket - because someone just might want to steal it - Zeshin looked around at his guildmates. He didn't really know anyone, aside from Elvira because she allowed him to join the guild, and he had no idea who to talk with. Also, no one really knew him, which resulted in his next actions.

"Hiya! I'm Zeshin, and I'm new to this guild. Just wanted to say nice to meet you!" Redhead said loudly and bowed lightly, wanting people to at least know his name, even if they didn't want to talk with him or something. It was better than being nobody in the corner, though introducing yourself made him nervous. Only now that he had a basket and introduced himself, the redhead looked around the place. Floating, sky islands. Very uncommon sight for normal people, and it was the first time Zeshin was near any. For sure they were beautiful and green. He didn't want to intrude on other members, so he stayed a little away from groups of guildmates. Though he wouldn't mind if they called him. Shaking his head, young mage began following other guildmates towards their picnic place while feasting his eyes on their surroundings.
