She wasnt as talented as others, but she wanted to at least try and improve. Drawing was nice, it was something you can get to do alone. Sure you can do it with people, but she didnt really have people. And she was still a bit shy when meeting new people or hesitant to approach them. Besides, she was kinda ashamed of showing her stuff to others because she knew she wasnt good. Just an average and mediocre artist.

"You an artist or you trying to refine your talents?" Ryuuji had walked up on her from behind without even a thought that he could scare her or cause her to panic or mess up her drawing as he had been just focused on finding out what the woman was up to and not really the whole thought process of the reaction he might get from being so crass and walking up on someone without making a intention of approach clear as he was both soundless and scentless he both made no sound when walking but also was not very easily tracked or sensed to be getting closer to someone that was other wise absorbed in a hobby.

She was disatisfied with the art because it looked like her art was missing something. Some oompf. It looked off in her eyes, but she wasnt sure what was it. Proportions? Positions? Hectic lines or shading? Something didnt fit to please her, but she couldnt nail the flaw

She considered asking him about guild stuff, like if he knew her from there, if he even noticed her and such. But she tossed that conversation aside before it even started, curious if he had a past of showmanship and dazzling of people. Even drawing be damned, she wanted to learn about him and his magic

"I see.... uhm... I really liked it.... looked real fancy and such" she said and pulled up her hood in attempt to hide her face or hide herself as much as she can. She was still sitting as she was drawing before, so now she just hugged her knees, not knowing what to say. Probably regretting any words she said and thinking that she's just not good with people. She wished the guild master was here. And she missed her friends who moved away.

"Uhhhh my name is Ryuuji and who are you and please don't be scared of me I got carried away." Ryuuji just tries to keep playing it cool as he was going to have to find a way out of this situation.

"Im fine" she said softly, not really answering his questions or properly looking at him in the eyes.
She noticed in the corner of her eye that he sat beside her. He spoke to her again, but this time more awkwardly which did make her relax more "Im Sally... Im your guild mate... and its ok... its not your fault im like this" she was always a bit of a shut in with a fake facade of bravado and bravery and just one scary shout was enough to make her metaphorical mask crumble. After a bit of a pause she spoke, but again not fully saying what she wanted to say "I liked your magic" but not saying what the fun reflections made her associate it with "Sorry though if I upset you"

Ryuuji layed back onto the ground and he looked up at the slow moving clouds in the sky as he was not sure what he was doing or even to why he was doing it. "You ever feel like you are just a cloud floating and the wind just shoves you a whole different way?" He asked this with a curious sound in his voice as there was nothing he knew besides wondering and being lost in the fog of the unknown. He doesn't know who or how he got here or even why he was here but he was and he needed to solve some of the mysteries.
Sun Nov 26, 2023 12:00 pm
"Kaito has a nice and cool mask. I made one too" she fiddles with her fingers and shyly looks down "I like to craft stuff..." speaking of masks, she wished she had hers, it made her feel brave. It made her feel like her true self.
She would notice the mirrors and she would faintly smile, but still now feeling guilty she upset him and made him go out of his way to cheer her up.
Ryuuji layed back onto the ground and he looked up at sky. She looked at him curiously as he spoke to her. He asked her a question that sounded metaphorical.
"I never really thought about clouds" she looked up "I dont know how I could describe that I feel." maybe she would feel like a needle in a haystack. As in she's the needle surrounded by hay. Not belonging like the others. Black sheep fits too. Sort of like that

"Clouds are free they get to go where ever the wind blows them, so they aren't bound to the ground like they are shackled to a rock that drags behind you." He sat up and he wonders if that was really the wording that he should be using or not but he had already said it as people on the ground feel stuck there and he hopes one day that he could be used and use his magic in a great way but for now he is still weak and he needs to get moving.

As they moved onto talking about feelings and clouds, she didnt know how to decribe her own feelings. She listened to Ryuuji and nodded "Yeah... in that case I dont feel like a cloud... I only recently just got to taste that freedom when I joined the guild. I never even traveled much outside of Magnolia. I had like a quest with Kaito at Hosenka. And once a solo quest there. I still dont know much of the world out there... Im sad that my only friends got to move on and live elsewhere... One of them kept in contact with me..." but she was starting to be scared of that connection which saddens her. She heard her friend was at Phantom Lord, but had bigger plans than that. Plans that involved finding the most wanted man in Fiore. And she knew she'd invite her if she had the chance. Sally was scared thats for sure.

"Oh so you were just left behind like a runt to the wolves?" He asked that question kind of as a joke but at the same time he was waiting for an answer that he figured was not going to come to him as she will probably tell him off and he will rebuttal that he sees why she had been left behind by the others.
Tue Dec 05, 2023 1:05 pm
"I dont know..." she said sadly and tried to explain the situation "I was the youngest in that friend group. The eldest of the group was an orphan who lost his family and was living in fear because he was a werewolf. He didnt feel at home in Magnolia and just left to adventure elsewhere because.... something bad happened. The other person who was a girl, she had her relationship being broken up and wanted to seek her chances and opportunities out of Magnolia, she just kinda ran away from home and her parents, because her parents were kinda too restrictive for her. Giving her everything but she lacked that freedom. It was like a false freedom, so when she got the chance she went to Hosenka... and then later Oak I heard. And lastly the other guy... Jules... erm... Julian rather. A nice guy, he wanted to find a job here, but it never worked out. One time he got accused of stealing from the shop he worked at. It was kinda sour for him. Last I heard, he went to look for work far away like in Astera. I think he'd wanna try and live a simple life, but it never works out for him.... I stayed here because well... I have a family and... I was too scared to run away with my other friend, even if my parents are a bit....neglectful." she saw sad, and pre emptively wiped away any tears that would be welling up "I dont know am I coward and should have I left to be with her."
She knew her friend joined Utopian Demise because it was a dark guild, and now she is in Phantom Lord, also pretty much a dark guild. She was afraid of being a real criminal. She doesnt know would she be able to do what she did once. Just thinking about what happened that one time caused her hands to shake as the trouble making they did had gone too far.
As much as she loved her friends, it was undeniable that they were a toxic connection. But she couldnt discern which one was the one that was pushing for the criminal agenda. She remembered what Jules once told her that they all felt like an aspect of a killer and united acted as one.
Michael is the instinct of the killer, Jen is the brains of the killer, Sally is the heart of the killer and Jules is the brawn of the killer.
Michael is leading them on an almost primal level: therefore the instinct; the  first impulse that guides. Jen is very observative and streetwise: therefore the brains, because she is more calculating. Sally is shy and more caring, almost putting her feelings in front of everything: therefore the heart, as she seems to be the main pull-back preventing  them from just going on a murdering spree. Lastly, Jules, is extremely loyal and willing to clean up the dirty work and the heavy lifting (literally) just to stay on Michaels's good side: therefore the brawn, as he does as Michael asks him to do, but has difficulty actually killing ,because muscles alone help with killing, but cannot kill without the mind and an impulse to start the act. All of them together are the killer. And that is why he thinks as a group, they work so well or unwell depending how you look at it. They are like a puzzle and as soon as 1 puzzle disappears, the puzzle is no longer whole; thus as soon as 1 member disappears, the killer no longer exists.
It is actually why, she managed to come here to Fairy Tail and be at peace somewhat. And why Jen as the killer brain went to pursue a dark guild ambition. She always wondered where did Michael go. She has not heard from him in a long time.
Even if they were horrible people together, she missed them all. Was that bad of her?

He guessed that the only choice was to fake that he cared about her long winded and needless story."Oh that is so interesting of you and your group. Not so sure that makes you a coward just meant you knew that you needed to grow a bit more even if that was a lonely road for you so that you can be better and stronger to not get left behind the next time." He really didn't care as she had really made this whole meeting about herself and that was rude in itself so he was not really off to a good start with the image of her.

"Do you know when the Guild Master is returning from her trip?" she asked Ryuuji, hoping he'd have an answer. She wondered should she wait for Judith or actually go and find the people she cared about, even though she knows those people are technically bad for her. She heard Judith was a motherly person and she desperatelly needed a good parental figure. As much as she liked Kaito and idolized him, part of her doubted he had the answers. He looked like the big brother type and big brothers can also mess with their younger siblings. So Judith was the absolute safest bet

"So what do you plan to do when you are stronger?" He wondered if this woman was as nice as she seemed or if she was more of a problem child and he would have to deal with fall out of befriending her later when she betrays the guild, he thought about it and why he even cared as he could just as easily be the guy that does evil or goes back so he shouldn't be throwing stones as he lives in a glass house.
Thu Dec 14, 2023 2:50 am
Now he asked her what is her plan when she gets stronger "Uhmm.... good question. I mostly aimed to get stronger for self defence. But I guess I'd love to be useful to people. And I'd love to adventure into the great unknown" Sally on her own wasnt bad. Her main problem was others, influencing her or forcing her to do bad. She had people in her life who were a bad influence. But now those people were gone. So for now she was good. Hopefully those scars wont make her do something she'll regret

But now she just wondered what did Ryuuji mean by being naive. Was going out to do quests and adventure not possible? She wanted to though. Others do it, why cant she? Was she really that bad? No, maybe she just needs a drink to relax. She hasnt done that in a while. Though she wondered, if she was never going to be of use to the guild or meet the guild master, was this guild good for her? Or was she better off joining Phantom Lord or where ever her friend is. At least she'll have someone who cares about her

"I'll be careful" she told him just to vocalize that she'll pay attention to that and not be as trusting. Perhaps she should talk to Kaito and ask him about travel. Sure she was an adult, but she figured she should inform her temporary leader about her whereabouts and going ons.
If anything she seemed more determined to reunite with people she knew. So did that mean she should go West? It certainly piqued her interest as she was being filled with a newfound determination. In her mind it seemed to be perfect. If you cant make new friends then go and find old friends.

"I guess I should also ask what your goals are. Are you aiming for anything special?" He really wonders if she might have some bigger goals and not that she just steps once she is on totally solid ground and avoids risks and not aiming high.
Wed Jan 03, 2024 8:19 am
She looked at him when he asked her why did she act so small. Did she like to be dominated
"I am small" she gave a curt and short answer as to not bore him. Of course there was plenty of background issues that break down a person and their self esteem and she was that case. In a way she got force fed that trash from a bunch of people from her past that she accepted it.
He again asked her her goals
"I just want to belong" again she gave a short answer as now instead of being open, she was closing up and putting away her drawing as stuff as if preparing to leave.
