Shigaraki was in a bar in the red district almost at close. There were two reasons for this. One, he did not sleep, in general. Two, shady bars in the worst districts of town were the best places to pick up villains. 

Shigaraki was hunched over the bar. He had terrible sitting posture. He looked a little bit like a corpse somebody had dragged out of the alleyway, as he hadn’t bothered to brush his white, mop-like hair at all before coming out for a night on the town. He felt a pair of eyes on him suddenly and lefting his head. 

Two, long, slitted eyes. Watching him somehow even with his eyes closed. Shigaraki tilted his head like a child. He wasn’t unnerved by the stranger, just a little bit curious. He gave his usual shit-eating grin. “Hey, if you’re going to stare at me all night the least you could do is buy me a drink.” 

No one comes to NokNok Cafe thinking they can rob it. If anyone tried--well, this is how they would end up. Standing over a few unconscious robbers is none other than the owner herself. “I warned you.” Voice is stern, almost like a mother scolding their child. With that, one of the knocked out guys groans. Hansol shakes her head, blows air upward to brush bangs away from her eyes. Hearing someone approaching and already being on high alert, Hansol is ready to deliver a swift kick if need be. 

It wasn’t that Erza didn’t believe in coincidences, it was simple that she refused to believe that she had now been brought to two cities against her will, with no memory of how and her magic limited and that the two cities had nothing to do with each other. 

“Where would he be....”

After checking the contacts in her phone, she had zeroed on the one name that truly meant something to her (aside from those she knew from her own world): Gin Ichimaru

In all likelihood it would have been more sensible to call or message him on the phone but she decided against it. in the past they had been good friends, or at least she considered him a good friend, there was no way of knowing if the man she once knew was still the same. 

“Hey! Stop! Did you just snatch my phone from my pocket!?” 

❝ I’m sorry----  ❞  He begins, shy tones but what he’s about to ask is shameless at best   ❝ Could you uh could you pay for this for me. ❞  A nervous chuckle, a pathetic smile. He looks at this stranger hopeful, like he’s his last chance to get coffee ( and not get absolutely banned out of this cafe )    ❝ I forgot my phone so...❞  

Trapped in a city that she never knew existed after ‘dying’, unable to say goodbye to her brother and safe in the knowledge that some lunatic deity was driving around in her body and what does Lucy Berger do?

She attempts to save a kitten stuck in a tree. 

With a quick run up, she bounce into a low branch and began to climb.

She had not been back in the city long and already it was living up to her expectations. Having spotted a young woman sobbing in the shadow of a dark skinned creature, Erza automatically reacted.

However, rather than summoning her sword, she found herself in a sailor scout dress, bow in hand. Not about to question it, she drew its string, an arrow appearing. 

Snap. The arrow was released, lodging into the creature. 

It turned, sighted her and began to advance towards her. 

“Tch.”

She would never admit it, but the odd creatures that seemed to be making a menace of themselves around the city were a good distraction from the anger, the helplessness of finding herself back in the city that she had completely forgotten.

“Run!” 

The knight called to the sobbing woman, waiting until she had gone before continuing.

“I do not know what you are but I have no doubts you are some science project sent to cause even more misery by those who keep us here.”

Holding her bow out to the side, it began to glow a warm pink, transforming into her usual sword. Her grip tightened around the grip. She patiently allowed the beast to step closer, pushing aside the nagging heartbreak that seemed to be stabbing at her heart the nearer it got to her. 

“In the name of Fairy Tail…I’ll put an end to your sorrowful existence!”
