[If only Juvia knew she was thinking of him, she might stop pestering her a lot less. To a certain extent.

She looks to lucy. Then back up at the bar. Then to Lucy again]

Are you sure that's it?

[ Lucy will never tell. E V E R. And she's lucky Juvia doesn't have telepathy like Sohki does. Sigh. Studying the map again, she glances back to Juvia. ]

Um... Yes? [ :D S-she marches on. ]

Come on, I'm sure it's fine!

[Well....if she said so. Juvia follows in pursuit, she's at least a step behind Lucy]

There doesn't seem to be any music playing. [Or the kind of music she thought there would be anyway] Where's the man in the tuxedo?

Um... [ Lucy glances around hesitantly, because... there's no chandeliers anywhere. Not even a glass one! And no cushy lounge chairs, or glamorous dance floors or anything. ]

Maybe... Maybe we're early! [ .. though it was at least eight o'clock, shouldn't that be right about when the music and whatnot starts? ]

[Juvia thinks this ain't no fancy place at all, but they were already here...]

Juvia guesses we should find a place to sit down then, if we wait a bit longer something might happen.

[ It's the 'something' that might happen that worries her. c.c; The place looked kinda seedy. ]

Actually, maybe we should try another bar? [ One that didn't look like they were going to get a disease if they sat down. . . okay it wasn't THAT bad. But when Lucy turns to head back to the door, a group of overly muscled (Seriously where are their NECKS), tattoo'd men saunter into the room. ]

On second thought, maybe we SHOULD sit down. [ Let's not draw attention! D: She scurries further into the room, ready to drag Juvia if need be. To her dismay, one of the men stays by the door as if guarding it, while his two companions scan the room as if looking for someone. Perhaps for Trouble. And they're making it double. ]

[The fact that she is starting to get dragged by Lucy to a table makes her stumble a little in walk, and confuses her to say in the least. Especially since Juvia catches a glimpse of the muscular tattooed men as well.

Why were they staying now? The easier thing to do might have been to push them out of the way and make a run for it.

Oh man, this was going to be trouble, she knew it. And she had to wear her most classy dress too!]

Miss Lucy...is there something you're not telling Juvia?

[DID YOU GET INTO A FIGHT WITH THESE DUDES BEFORE ~~FOR GRAY-SAMA~~? ARE THEY OUT FOR REVENGE?]

[ Lucy would like to -avoid- attention, Juvia! She's hoping that they'll find who they're looking for and leave, and they can sneak out the door with no one the wiser. ]

Huh? Aa-ah, haha, n-no, nono.

[ Oh Juvia, the things she doesn't tell you could fill a very very short book. ]

I was just thinking we should give this place a chance. You know it... it might be nicer than we're giving it credit for. Why don't I get us some drinks?

[ No don't do it Lucy! They'll see you! Or Juvia, and then what will happen. ~~Horrible thiiiiiings~~. ]

But who are those men?

[Juvia was the someone who didn't exactly mind strange things but...they seemed more shady than anything else, this whole placed gave off that vibe. The tattooed guys also looked like they wanted to fight.

Regardless, Juvia slowly nods]

Juvia will sit down then [She points] somewhere over there.

[If Juvia didn't know better, she'd swear Lucy was purposefully dragging her into trouble!]

Why are you asking me?

[ She doesn't know who those guys are! They just made her uneasy. She didn't like the idea of leaving Juvia to sit at the table alone, but hey, it wouldn't take that long to get drinks right? ... And she is not purposefully dragging Juvia into trouble! ~~Her mun is, though >8D~~ ]

Okay... be careful. Try not to draw attention to yourself.

[ Easier said than done considering they're both dressed rather classy and...they kind of stick out like sore thumbs here because of it. ]

Juvia thought...!

[Ah never mind. They really were making everyone uneasy, or just her and Lucy. Luckily Juvia is able to defend for herself so she isn't -too- worried, but still. ~~Bad mun, bad!~~]

Juvia's not sure she wants to, to be honest.

[Draw attention to herself that is. She tugs at her dress awkwardly as she takes her seat at a random table. Yeah, everyone is already staring. Hurry back, Lucy!]

[ Definitely just Juvia and Lucy. Between the two of them they would probably be able to handle themselves, but those guys looked pretty tough! ~~/whimpers like a puppeh~~ ]

Yeah really. Anyway, I'll be back as quick as I can. Keep an eye on the door, maybe we can make a dash for it when it's clear.

[ There's music now, but it sadly isn't anything like classical music. However, Lucy gets to her feet, smoothing the fabric of her dress and pads quickly over to the counter, her skin prickling at the attention she and her blue haired friend are starting to get. Just so long as no one DOES anything about those stares, we're aaaaaaall okay. ... ]

[ Suffice to say not even a minute after Lucy got up, a man that looked like he wandered away from a gym and had five times the steroids on top of that, slides into the seat Lucy had vacated. He clicks his tongue and winks at Juvia, making the hand-gun gesture as he pointed at her. Classy. ]

Hey there, little lady; What's a pretty blue rose like yourself doing in a place like this? It's not safe for delicate pearls such as yourselves. Good thing you've got a nice guy like me to look out for your type. What's your name, sweet thing?

Juvia will.

[And just as Lucy leaves, the muscle head walks right over and sits in Lucy's spot. Cue for inner flailing as she leans back away from the table. Who the hell was he? OH GOD NOW WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME FOR GRAY TO BE HERE]

...W-What?! Um. I...Juvia...doesn't think-!!!

[DAMN YOU LOVE RIVAL]

[ SO FAR NO GOOD. The two lunkheads are still standing on either side of the door, their precious emergency exit. Lucy scans the room briefly, but the line to the ladies room is ridiculously long. They -could- go in the men's room and climb out the window, but the prospect was actually terrifying. How dirty it must be! Her back is still to the table Juvia is at, so she doesn't notice the water mage's distress ...yet. ]

[ Meanwhile the man across from Juvia only grins widely, tilting his head one way then the other, and eliciting nasty sounding pops from his neck. ]

That's ALL right with me, baby, you can let me do ALL the thinking for you from now on. [ Her flustered flailing is just so adorable, it's CLEARLY because he is such a catch. Such a catch that he drags up a bit of plegm from the back of his throat and spits it on the floor. . .On. The. Floor. ]

Juvia huh? I guess that's all right, my delicious little corn muffin. [ He paffs his fist against his chest with a loud THUMP. ]

My buddy an' I noticed you and your cute friend when you came in. M'name's TANK(Tm). And I'm gonna be your man. You can thank me later. I'm a real prize catch.

[ Throw him back. THROW HIM BACK. ]

[...Ew. He just spit on the floor, didn't he? And what was all this 'Baby' and 'Corn Muffin' talk? All right, her flusterness is starting to turn into annoyance. Juvia crosses her arms with a huff and puffs her cheek out. She's just...so glaring daggers at him now]

Juvia doesn't like how you're talking to her. With all due respect, you and your friend can go kiss Gray-sama's perfect butt.

[~~OH BURN.~~ Juvia raises her hand, she might be preparing for a Water Lock. So much for keeping a low profile, but it's not like they weren't already being harassed]

[ Meep. Gal's got some fiah to her. He holds up both hands placatingly. With a touch of amusement. ]

Hey hey hey whoah, sweetums, I think we got off on the wrong foot here! [ Tank(tm), gotta remember the (tm) pronouncing it is difficult waves a hand. ]

I ain't tryin' to get all up in some other dude's gal (this time). You here with your Gray? Where he at, huh? [ He glances around curiously, even warily. Bah, he can handle whatever happens. ]

You know, fine lookin' honey like you, I wouldn't let you outta my sight if you were my gal. I can treat you right, my little honey pop. You like poetry right? Here, listen to this one. [ He clears his throat to recite. ]

"There once was a man from Nantucket." [ A pause, and he eyes Juvia. ]

No, seriously. There really was. I think his name was Dave. Good guy. Kind of odd, though. Always walked around wearing oven mitts. Sometimes he wore nothing BUT oven mitts. Wow. He was REALLY odd, now that I think of it. Dude liked his oven mitts.

[ ... he looks thoughtful, following this tangent. ]

I wonder what he’s up to now. I wonder if he’s still wearing oven mitts...

[ MEANWHILE, over by the counter, Lucy is happily waiting for her drinks to arrive, figuring they could at least get something to go. Glancing over her shoulder, she notes to her surprise and delight that the way to the door is -CLEAR-. Perfect! She turns to try to signal Juvia, about the same time her drinks arrive, but lo and behold, there is a sudden lean fellow practically leaning in her occupied space. Rude. She doesn't like the way he's looking at her, OR the fact that he takes it upon himself to just pay for her drinks. But while she's protesting this supposedly gentlemanly action, she freezes for a second when he leans in closer, apparently whispering something - something that has her flush bright red, slap him right across the face hard enough for the 'CRACK' of the slap to be heard even over the music (drawing a few glances and snickers). Then to add insult to injury, the infuriated wizard dumps the contents of her drink over his head, stalking towards Juvia's table. The generous soul, still reeling from her violent reaction, stumbles back into a patron, who spills HIS beer on ANOTHER patron and it's... it's sort of a domino effect from there. Needless to say, there is going to be a crowd of unhappy patrons in a few minutes. Lucy, however, isn't paying any mind to the chaos she inadvertently caused - or that the man she slapped was glaring after her and shoving someone aside to follow. She hurt his feelings! ]

Well...Gray-sama isn't here yet, or not even...

[BAW this all feELS weird and sad to say. Juvia can take things far too seriously at times, but she knows what this Tank(tm) guy is getting at. She really shouldn't say anything at all, should she? At the very least, his terrible poem stops her in her preparation to use Water Lock on him and she lowers her hand just a tiny bit.

Mitts? What is he even saying? Maybe Gray-sama could wear mitts and....wait]

Juvia doesn't think that's a very good poem at all! Who wears mitts any more?

[GAWD TANK(TM). ELEGANCE. Juvia has yet to notice the whole domino effect Lucy caused, she's too busy busting this guy's chops]

[ Oh Juvia, you shouldn't have said that. Now he thinks he has a Chance(tm)! He grins. Big. ]

Really? Not here you say? Then I'm gonna go right on ahead what with declarin' my intentions, sweetheart. [ That poor attempt at suaveness is cut short by Juvia tearing down the walls of his so carefully crafted poem of LOOOOOVE. Or what was supposed to be such. ]

Oh cupcake! You cut me to the quick! Man, I mean, dude that's so not cool! Mitts are ALL IN - they're ALL about the man! Every-

[ At this point, Lucy's reached the table, skirting a glance behind her now and again. Yep, that guy was annoyed at the treatment she gave him. GOOD. She didn't care, she has her spirits, and Juvia to watch her back! Yeah! (And a certain stalker, but shh) ]

Juvia, let's go okay? Ah-

[ She's about to ask who her new friend is, when Tank(tm) interrupts her, slouching back a little to look the blonde up and down, then Juvia, in the same fashion. Hrm. Hrmmm. ]

Too much for Carter to handle huh? Ha! That's rich! But where are you two off to in such a - [ He breaks off here abruptly to dodge someone's mug of half full booze. WTF is going on back there! ]

[And she complains about getting in trouble when he's around! Then again that's just like Lucy to get herself into such predicaments. Interesting as it might have been to watch it all unfold from a smudged up window, he noted the two idiots who tried to put the moves on them. He'd stalked the two girls from the shadows and from above ever since they met up but until now he had no reason to interfere. Natsu wasn't one for stealth either but he knew Lucy would be livid with him if she knew her girls night out had turned into a girls with a silent watchful guardian angel of firey mayhem' night out]

[Without another word he smashes his way into the back room of the bar when Lucy walked away. When the barkeep went to investigate, Natsu took him down with a head to his face. By the time he'd gotten behind the counter, the creeps had already dropped their pretenses. Those pig faced bastards! He grabs the first thing at hand, the half emptied mug and throws it right at Tank's head! He should be thankful he didn't light the damn thing before he threw it. Though that would give him away instantly.]

Intentions? [NOOOO Her heart only belongs to Gray-sama! Well whatever the case, it's got her in an arguing mood to yell about mitts with a stranger] Juvia doesn't think that's true at all! They're not even- Miss Lucy?

[Now she's cut short by Lucy intruding...running towards her. Why? Juvia looks behind her and sees the bar in a chaotic fight. Beer bottles and fists are flying everywhere, just like in Fairy Tail. Only the people are more shady.

Oh! Now there goes a beer mug right at Tank's head (courtesy of Natsu, but she doesn't know that yet). She takes this opportunity to tug at Lucy and, hitting Tank with a stream of water, drag her along to the exit]

[ She'd blame Natsu for this too! Clearly his penchant for causing trouble has rubbed off on her too! ... wait, no, that's just because she and Juvia are too cute for their own good. She would definitely have been annoyed with him though, if she knew he'd followed them. Even if it would work out in their favor. ]

[ Tank doesn't have an opportunity counter Juvia's argument about..oven mitts of all things. Fists are flying, beer bottles are flying, and heck, even a person is sent flying - or perhaps they jumped off of a table into the crowd. More importantly, beer mug being flung nearly hitting Tank in the head. ]

HEY! Yo guys, that almost hit me man!

[ Tank surges to his feet, but he's about to turn to Juvia to suggest that he spirit her away to a safer place, with her friend, of course. But when he turns, all he sees two dotted outlines where the two girls had been standing, what with Juvia taking the opportunity to snipe him with a stream of water, knocking him to the ground from the surprise. ]

WAUGH! I CAN'T SWIM! I C - [ Oh wait. He jumps to his feet. ]

Wait! Come back my beautiful indigo siren! -

[ Bob and weave Juvia, it looks like almost the entire bar is caught up in this, punching people, throwing others, and those who AREN'T fighting are doing their level best to hide or avoid the situation. Lucy, as she's getting dragged out, casts a brief glance back at the carnage. Most of it seems to be centered around the counter where Natsu had staked out his spot, but with the crowd, Lucy can't even see past that wall of anarchy. ]

... I think it got a little out of hand...

[ Gee you THINK? ]

[A barfight is the perfect cover and whoever gets close to blowing his cover only ends up punched in the face then dragged over the counter before Lucy can spot him. Even through the noise he can pick out the voice of the two girls as well as that bastard Tank. ]

Shut up you drunk bastard!

[He hisses sharply at one of his victims that were still awake and drives a sharp elbow into his gut to knock him out for good.]

[Still this isn't enough. The patrons of this seedy booze hole are still focused on Lucy and Juvia. So maybe they need a more forceful distraction. Ooo that lamp hanging over head looks mighty tempting. He grabs one of the mugs and after a quick sniff on the bottles that now littered the floor behind the counter, he fills it up with the highest alcohol percentage brand and throws it at the lamp. As expected the drink catches fire and soon enough a few tables are already set ablaze.]

What happened here? Juvia was just arguing with that man when-

[Wow....half the bar just went up in a blaze of fire and something went crashing into the lamp. Should Juvia ignore all this and escape? Or put the fire out? Ignoring Tank's pleas she's about toss some water onto the flames, but a beer bottle or two come flying her way.

No time to react properly! She manages to to turn herself into water so the bottles phase through her, but still stumbles backwards into Lucy]

-Eeeeiii!!!

[This wasn't going at all according to plan]

Edited 2013-05-31 02:35 (UTC)

How did things get on /fire/? [ Seriously, Natsu isn't even here. Or so she thinks. ]

This is insane! This-- HIEE!! [ Don't you get your wateryself all over her nice dry clothes! Lucy squeaks, hopping to the side to avoid a flung chair. It's as chaotic as a Fairy Tail barfight. Those who aren't fighting in the crowd are either pushing past to get out the door, or trying to help lessen the flames. ]

I hate to say it, but maybe it's best if we got out of here, Juvia -! [ They already had a lot of people either fighting or trying to get the fire under control, and this would be a good opportunity to get away from those troublesome guys. One thing was for sure, the girls were the last thing on Tank's mind. ]

SAVE THE BOOZE! [ He hurls himself into the crowd to lunge behind the bar and grab as many bottles of beer and assorted wines and alcoholic beverages he can manage, passing some off to his buddies (some who attempt to smuggle them right out the door - in the chaos, who would know! Catching sight of Natsu, and being too dense to put two and two together to come up with four, he calls out instead. ]

HEY buddy! Forget the fight, the booze, man, the BOOZE! [ And very very very belatedly he suddenly realizes, fire + wimmins = not usually a good thing. But HEY he can be a hero! Oh dilemna. Booze or babes, booze or babes? AAH HE CANNOT CHOOSE. ]
