[The feed shows a blonde girl, who has an injured right arm, staring at the screen with a bored look on her face.]

Hello there, it's been a while since I used this room. I guess I will introduce myself again.

[She gives a pause.]

I'm Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia. I'm currently unemployed here, and I don't know if there are any jobs that I can do here. It's ridiculous that we need to work in this kind of place. [Whining, whining.] Anyways, if anybody can contact me about the positions available, please make sure to find me?

[He still grimaces faintly seeing that wound but thankfully he's not running away anymore.]

Hey Lucy. Feeling better huh?

[Still he is genuinely glad to see her out and about even if this place is as dangerous as ever. Something he has been working on actually in terms of slaying the threats before they can harm anyone.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Yeah, I'm fine. But looks like it's time we do something for living here.

[She's rather grumpy about it. Who would ever want to get a job in such a world? Or tower, whatever.]

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

Well look at it this way. It's something that's like back home. You do work, you get paid.

[Easy for him to say since his work involves doing what he does best. KICKING MONSTER TAIL.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Easy for you to say. [She's so reading Natsu's mind.] This place is horrible. We don't know what we may encounter.

... Well, at least we don't have to pay for the rent.

[A sigh follows her words.]

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

Well you have a point there. What about the library? Pretty sure they'd like more people to help out there?

[He's just glad to beat stuff up if it means keeping Lucy and the rest safe. Maybe being simple is a blessing.]

There's that yeah. Means you can save up for stuff you'd want later down the line.

[And no scary land lady either. ]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Oh, I may apply there. Though do you think there are any free positions? People may prefer the library because it's considerably safer than other jobs?

[But thinking about all the books there excites Lucy.]

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

I've seen a lot more people who can fight than those who can't in this place. Besides I doubt there are that many people who love books as much as you do.

[Unintentional compliment is a go~]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

[Lucy blushes slightly at Natsu's smile and gives her own.]

Well, I'll give this a try. But what if all positions are taken? What do I do if that's the case?

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

Natsu flinched faintly. She had a good point. What then?]

Well uhhh guess I'll help you find somethign?

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

[Lucy rubbed his chin in thought.]

I guess I will join you with the monster hunting in that case.

[It's better than not doing anything anyway.]

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

[Now there's a prospect he didn't really like.]

Sure if we can't find something.

[Emphasis on IF.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

You don't sound too eager about it.

[Lucy blinks, surprised.]

Re: [Video]

[explodewiththerage]

Well. There's some freaky shit out there.

[And after what he did, his full focus is on keeping her away from harm at any cost.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

I know that, but we need money too. Besides, you will be with me, right?

[Oh Natsu, she's your partner, don't forget that.]

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

There's a lot of jobs, but I don't think any of them are worth it.

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

[He knows that. And if this was back home he'd have no trouble taking her along for the fight. But the things he's seen here. The things he's been made to do. The things he did to her. They all weigh quite a bit.]

Of course I will.

[Way to go shooting down your own opposition there, genius.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Oh? May ask why do you think that they are not worth it?

[Lucy blinks a few times, curious.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Then it's alright. Even if Happy is not here, we can still be a team.

[How she wishes Happy was here as well...

Lucy gives Natsu a reassuring smile. Really, Natsu, you're the only one who thinks about what happened that day.]

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

[He can't argue with that. Even if he does want to. Because at the end of the day, doing jobs or just hanging out with Lucy is the most fun thing for him.]

Alright you win. But we're still trying the library thing first.

[He's not surrendering in full dammit!]

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

Well, I don't like dying... And who cares if we keep this tower running? It's going to shut down in a year anyway.

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

[Lucy gives a nod.]

Alright, we will. Though I still don't understand why you insist on library.

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

Because dealing with books is something you love doing. Like that one mission with Everlue.

[That's at least half of what is behind his motivation. But he likes to think it's a good argument.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Well, still, not doing anything for a year is not a good thing I guess? Besides, I'm sure that there are jobs which you can do in peace. My friend has just told me to check the library. Maybe you can try that too?

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Natsu...

[Lucy stares at the screen for a while, without saying anything.]

You're not hiding something, right?

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

I guess the libary's safer. I'll give it a look, but it's not like I had a job at home either.
