So, it's true. Death isn't permanent here.

[ He's not sure whether he should be happy or upset about this... on one hand, his magic can't cause any permanent harm to others. On the other, he will never die. He's right back to square one, in that sense. ]

I guess I don't have a reason to hide who I am, anymore. In my world, I was responsible for terrible things. Things that, when I arrived here, thought might have lead to my world being destroyed, before learning the truth.

I owe a lot of answers to the people of my world. I'll be waiting in the fourth floor lounge.

✒ action, floor four

[ And sure enough, there he is. He's sitting cross-legged in one of the chairs, staring out at the clouds outside. His magic feels under control, for the moment. Feel free to approach. ]

[The first thing people will likely notice when the feed turns on is a young girl. She has a smile on her face, but it's not hard to figure out she's trying to hide her sorrow.]

Hello! My name is Wendy, and this is my first time here! I hope we can get along!

[Though she continues trying to smile, it's apparent that she can't keep up such a façade much longer.]

Anyway, um... Is it really true that our worlds have been destroyed? I mean, it's really hard to believe that that's the case, but...

[She takes a deep breath and exhales before continuing.]

If that really is the case, does that mean whoever from our world is here at this time are the only survivors, or is it possible others from our worlds can arrive later? I really hope it's the latter...

Also, would someone mind telling me more about this place, if there is anything else besides what the letter had to say? Since I guess I'll be staying here for a while, I'd like to know as much about this place as possible.

[At this point, Wendy looks like she's about ready to cry, but does her best not to.]

Oh, and... If anyone's seen someone with this crest [She turns to the side so the Fairy Tail crest on her right shoulder can be seen.] could you please tell me?

[Though she hopes that, if any of her friends are here, they will see this feed, but better safe than sorry, right?

To wrap up the feed, Wendy gives a small bow.]

Thank you very much for listening!

To anyone who met 'Jellal' in the past week, I'm sorry but that person was not me. I don't think, I gave away anything that wasn't public knowledge anyways, but-

I-

I'm sorry.

[Now comes the harder part, because apologizing to the masses isn't difficult, especially given the probable lack of success in his 'mission'. No, what is hard is to face the people he knows, the ones that seem to trust him to some degree, for reasons he doesn't understand, but...

When he finally brings himself to activate the video feed to record his next message, Jellal looks pale, the stress and the shock from awakening from this nightmare clearly visible in his face. Still, he needs to pull himself together now and make sure to warn the others of his world. His voice breaks at first when he speaks up, but then he manages to follow through steadily.]

I- I need to talk to you all, especially those that just arrived. In person. There are things that you need to know about this place.


[Text | Locked to Zeref]

If you are really Zeref... There are some things I would like to talk with you about, not here but rather where those that control this place cannot listen in so easily.

[The feed switches on and shows Gajeel crumbling up the letter that he received on arrival and tossing it away. He's none too happy after being taken away from his home and being dumped in this place, wherever the hell it is.]

I don't know who the hell these people are that brought me here, but do they really expect me to believe that shit about my world being destroyed? [They didn't even try to explain any details about how it was destroyed, not that he'd believe them even if they did.]

Anyone want to tell me what the hell is really going on here? And are there any other Fairy Tail mages around? I can’t be the only one here.

I do not know what happened to my own world, but I would ask that nobody visits Floor Twenty-Five, for now. I'll be headed there after I make this entry.

[ He has heard that it will always appear that way; peaceful spring weather, with a pretty meadow. Maybe then, if he stays there... his magic won't affect it. Hey, it was worth a try. ]

I don't wish to introduce myself. It is better if nobody here knows who I am, or what I am. Though if anyone encounters a book in either of the libraries titled 'The Book of Zeref,' tell me. I will dispose of it. I may be the only one here who knows how.

[ And sure enough, there he is, later. He's kneeling in a small clearing, staring down at a certain white flour. The flower was oddly resilient. It wasn't wilting, wasn't turning black and crumbling to dust just from being near the Black Wizard. But isn't that how it always is? ]

Our world... destroyed.

[ He whispered to nobody in particular, feeling tears threaten to roll down his cheeks. He picked the small flower, ripping the stem between his fingers. It immediately wilted, the petals shriveling up and falling off, with the stem becoming coarse and rubbery. Zeref simply dropped it where it was. ]

Was it me? Was it Acnologia? [ Again, asking nobody in particular. ] I guess it doesn't matter. Maybe it was better off, after all.

{{ OOC: Zeref's magic makes it dangerous (and possibly deadly) just to be near him, so naturally, a permissions post was mandatory. }}
