✦ “I wonder when the cold weather is going to let up? It’s hard to go fishing when the bay has a layer of ice on it.”

[fireofigneel]

“ I feel the same way!! Am I ever going to try any of the fish here? I just want to fry them all!! “

[fireofigneel]

( ??? )

It’s about another minute of yelling before one of the staff comes up to them, polite and nervous and firm, and asks them to either quiet down or leave.

To the new friend she’s in the process of making, she says, “You seem cool. D’you wanna take this outside? People won’t mind the yelling as much, and we could lift cars or something!!” Maybe not. Those belong to people. But surely they can find something that works!

Of course Natsu was cool, he was a loud guy who loved to fight, what about that was uncool? Waving a hand at the staff that came to politely scold them, Natsu huffed.

“ Yeah, let’s go outside, we can be even louder!! “ He enjoyed meeting people similar to him, it made him happy.

( RENGOKU )

“Fairy…Tail?” the name rung unfamiliar to him as any would if you think about it. After all guilds weren’t something that common in japan, especially a demon infested one. They didn’t tend to last long.

“….right. I am Rengoku Shinjuro. It is…nice to meet you.” western hand shake greeting, he does it, holding out his hand in order for it to work.

“ Nice to meetcha, Rengoku!! “ Smiling, Natsu shook his hand. “ Yeah, Fairy Tail is my home and family!! We work hard to make Magnolia and the surrounding area a great place to live! “

“ Where are you from? “

[fireofigneel]

( ZENITSU )

⚡ There they go. Zenitsu leans on the wall next to Natsu while listening. Does he feel less awkward now, though? No, not really. At the end of the day, it’s just his natural disposition to feel that way. But at least they’re not complete strangers anymore to each other.

“Magnolia? Mh. I know of magnolia trees, but I never heard of a place with that name before. We don’t really have any wizards where I come from either, though.”

Thinking about it for a moment, it could be an oversea thing. But he really doesn’t know enough about the places far away from his own home to be sure.

“I’m from Japan. But if I had to guess, you never heard of that place before either, right? Or about Demon Slayers?”

“ Well, Magnolia is one city in the kingdom of Fiore, and the area is ruled over by a queen, a friend of our group who lives in another city, Mercurius. “ Scratching his head he grumbled. “ Heck, I’m only repeating what Lucy drilled into my brain, it’s not really stuff ya need to know. “

“ Ja-pan? “ He repeated slowly, after Zenitsu said where he was from. “ Nope, never heard of that place. “ The other thing he had said peaked Natsu’s interest. “ No - I have a friend who became a Demon Slayer...and we have other kind of Slayers too. “ He counted on his fingers the enemies and friends he had fought, as well as the others he learned about from his friends and books. “ God Slayers, Phoenix Slayers, Spirit Slayers, and of course more Dragon Slayers too!! “

( LEON )

“ I- I’m not scared about that. I’m just — ! ”  Before he can get out whatever excuse he was planning on making, a snowball smacks him right above his chest. AH, that’s COLD! Leon yelps and somewhat hops in place, bouncing from one foot to the other as he scrambles to dust the snow from his clothes. Once he succeeds, he fixes the culprit with a narrow squint.

“ Hey, that’s cheating, I wasn’t ready! I’ll get you for that…! ”   He declares, all huffing and puffing, only to drop to a squat and scoop snow into his hands. His efforts lack practice and it ends up a terribly misshapen thing, but he decides it’s plenty enough to fire back with. And that’s precisely what he does; he stands and throws, with little bother to made to aim.

Let the competition begin! “ You better be ready, you’re gonna get it! ”

Natsu was laughing as he dug out more snow, his uncovered feet deep within the white as the other kid howled and caught him. “ There’s more where that came from!! “ He threw his next snowball and watched it hurtle through the air, missing his target - but he wasn’t doing this to hit all the time, but to have fun.

“ Oh, I’m so scared, come on!! Let’s go!! I’m all fired up now!! ”

@psyncintheabis ( ask )

To be honest, Date really wasn’t paying attention to how quickly the line was moving. Sure, he needed to pay for his groceries, but he was too busy running through ideas of what he could make for dinner. Which branched off into thoughts of how Mizuki was doing. And where the hell Aiba was. And had Pewter ever given him back that spare key to his apartment?

And…yeah, he wouldn’t have noticed if the kid hadn’t tapped him on the shoulder.

“Oh. Sorry. …I wasn’t talking out loud to myself, was I?”

There was a definite chance. But he’d prefer it if he didn’t this time.

There he was, in line to buy a few things, some snacks as he looked around the area. Still, having been there for over a month now he hadn’t made much progress in finding the reason he and his friends had been brought to Spirale.

The man in front of him hadn’t moved, and Natsu could hear him deep in thought and muttering to himself. Reaching a hand he tapped him on the shoulder.

“ You were, but it’s no big deal. I’m in no hurry, really because I have no idea how to use this, “ He shifted his items to one arm and held up his lacrima (phone) for the man to see. “ I’ve seen people using this I think to pay for things, but I’m stumped as to why. “

[fireofigneel]

( ZENITSU )

“Look— I can tell you’re a nice guy actually. But you really shouldn’t go and tell people you don’t even know what kind of fire you prefer to eat. That’s super weird. Maybe try talking about ways how to perfectly grill fish, or how to cook a great dinner for yourself and your friends instead? You’re lucky my closest friends are all equally weird too and I’m half-way used to this nonsense, because any other sane person might have thrown a bucket of water at you already.”

Ah well. At this point, he could as well just give this fellow his name, right? Maybe that would make this situation a little less awkward, at least. The blonde sighs and holds out a hand to the other, who’s actually grown onto him at this point, despite all the weirdness. Or maybe it is because of all the weirdness? “Anyway, I’m Agatsuma Zenitsu. And you are—?”

Hearing the other man speak, Natsu made note of what he said, he knew not everyone wherever they were like Natsu, so the Dragon Slayer needed to keep some things to himself. Though he had been seen eating fire (even if it really wasn’t flames but sparks), so he figured an explanation was needed.

“ It may be weird, but it’s normal where I come from, being a Fire Wizard and all. And if anyone had thrown water at me, I’d have made them regret it!! “

He saw the outstretched hand and reached his own to meet it, shaking Zenitsu’s hand with a grin. “ You can call me Natsu, Natsu Dragneel. Fire Wizard and Dragon Slayer of the Fairy Tail Guild!! “ Showing off his guild mark tattoo on his upper arm Natsu thumbed his nose. “ So, where are you from? I’m from a place called Magnolia. “

( ??? )

⚡  Part of him really doesn’t know why he’s still so surprised over such things.Or why it makes him so uncomfortably nervous. But he can’t help it, a lot about this place is far from anything he considers mundane. He knows Tanjiro or Inosuke would just roll with it. Or even trying to eat fire as well in the latter’s case. But Zenitsu? Knowing that he’s stuck with all these weird things is greatly unpleasant to him. He tries to deal with this in a rational way.

“Listen. Keep that flame you picked up away from me. Unlike you, I’ll get burns if I come in contact with that, disgusting or not. That’s just scrap papers I burned here. Maybe try the fire of, I don’t know— burning wood?” Telling someone to try different flames feels anything but rational to him now. But it’s close enough.

Snuffling out the flare with his hands, Natsu made sure to melt the thing before tossing the thing into a nearby trash can. Crossing his arms Natsu really had to think about it. What was his favorite fire to eat? Not that he shouldn’t be telling a complete stranger this information, but this was Natsu, he talked to anyone he liked and fought against anyone he didn’t like.

“ When I think about it, the fire I really prefer to eat it actually from stoves and household things. Though the fire from kerosene lamps isn’t that bad, it just has a very distinct taste - must be the oil. And then there’s burnt wood, as you suggested. That kind of fire has a great taste!! Like eating any food that’s been grilled or cooked over coals. “

▄▀  — The feisty individual snaps, and Nabor took a step back, if only out of confusion more than anything. Assessing the situation, the human was rolling about in the snow, because their phone wasn’t working…? Leaning over and blinking, he eyes the phone with curiosity. Admittedly, he had very little experience with them, too.

“Does… lying down fix them?” Perhaps a ludicrous question, but it wasn’t like he knew all the ins and outs of this new fangled tech, anyway.

“ No, but I wish it did. I’m not good with technology!! “ Natsu heaved another sigh, clenching the device in his hand. Eyeing the other he was sure different, though Natsu wasn’t wary - the guy didn’t seem  bad.

“ Who are you? I’m Natsu. “ Seemingly introducing himself if only to get his mind off of the lacrima that he couldn’t work, Natsu stood to brush himself off and hold out a hand.

@fireofigneel ♥️’d for a starter

—✕ █ ▌The birds have stopped chirping some time ago. An ill omen, he thinks, though is far from superstitious in regards to that. A simple PREDATOR in the vicinity and nothing more, yes? A thought he keeps telling himself as heavy footsteps ghost their way through the HEAVY woodlands of the Mist. He looks over his shoulder. Was it a bad idea to explore and chart the area? Possibly, thus his well stocked supplies and STEELED resolve. Admittedly, he’s still prepared for the possibility of death, but, well … he’d like it not to come down to that. ❝Seems like I’m not the ONLY one wandering these woods.❞

[fireofigneel]

Fighting other people and monsters he could see were one thing -- fighting what he couldn’t see was something else entirely. Natsu was in the process of frequently punching the air, and growling in frustration. “ Dammit!! Show yourself!! “ Fangs gnashed together as he drew back to use what little magic he had.

Mist swirled around the Dragonslayer and he didn’t break his movement, inhaling and blasting a ball of fire from his mouth which was soon scooped up? by the mist. So hurriedly puzzled Natsu was visibly scared as he jumped in place when he heard branches snapping nearby.

“ Who’s there!!! Better not be another one of you monsters I can’t see. I’m getting tired of it. “

@fireofigneel​ liked for a starter

⚡ That wasn’t just his imagination, right? That guy just ate the sparks that came out of the flare he was holding. He heard of people that could spit fire. But he never heard of anyone actually eating it. Let alone calling that particular one disgusting. How can fire be disgusting? But not just that—

“Are you just saying that fire have different tastes?”

[fireofigneel]

After consuming the sparks of the flare in his hand, Natsu smacked his lips and gave a sigh. “ FINALLY I GOT SOMETHING TO EAT!! Not the best, but it’ll do. “

“ Of course fire has different tastes!! “ Crossing his arms he blew smoke ribbons from his nose. “ It tastes different depending on where it was born from, or how it’s made. “ He brandished the flare at the other. “ This, was totally not something I’d eat again -- DISGUSTING. “
