Dorian: You caught me by surprise, Godalming. I was starting to think that you would never host an event. What’s the occasion?
Panel 2
Arthur: Just a send off for a good friend leaving for his homeland. Now…
Panel 3
Arthur: …To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Hallward and yourself?
Panel 4
Dorian: I wasn’t about to miss a Godalming party, of course! But I also wanted to say you’re welcome for my help in apprehending the Invisible Man. ♡
Panel 5
Dorian (offscreen): Don’t try to deny it, that puppy face of yours can’t hide a thing. Interesting friends you’ve got, Godalming. I didn’t know you had it in you; it’s most fascinating.
Panel 6
Dorian: As interesting as certain happenings at a secluded park up north.
Panel 7
Arthur: What are you getting at, Gray?
Dorian: You see, I, too, am rather interested in such strange cases…for personal reasons.
Panel 8
Dorian: And you lot seem to be most adept at attracting them…but you need my help for that, don’t you?
Arthur: If you wish to be part of this, Mr. Gray, you should be asking Mrs. Harker and Mrs. Norton, not myself.
Panel 9
Dorian: What do you mean—they are in charge of this?!
After the gmg, Jellal still takes time to practice Mystogan's magic just in case he ever needs to pretend to be him again. He's almost got it down, he doubts he'll ever be as good as Mystogan but he's getting close.
Laxus has a soft spot for kids. He's very good with them too (not Natsu level but close)
Juvia remembers Rogue from Phantom as well. She didn’t know him well but he looked up to her a lot too.
When ft members accidentally destroy a town, they sometimes say their name is Natsu. He's been framed for so much property damage. He doesn't even realize it
Natsu freaked out when he found out Erza’s mom is technically a dragon. “I told you she was a monster!!!”
Gray does end up adopting a cat after the 100yq. Juvia is not pleased by this
Visiting Fairy Tail is like going to the circus. Other guilds visit with popcorn and watch the chaos
The real reason Gray and Natsu didn’t get along is because Gray has mommy issues (Ur’s death) and Natsu has daddy issues (Igneel’s disappearance).
Lucy has both mommy and daddy issues and Erza was an orphan, so the team stayed balanced.
Erza discovering she actually has major mommy issues (Irene) is what really killed Natsu, because it ruined the balance. Lucy’s keeping him alive through the power of her own daddy issues, which happen to be strong enough to sustain him.
Godfrey: And do not tell Irene, but I am certainly going to commission you for a portrait of her.
Basil: I’d be glad to! As soon as I have completed Sir Murgatroyd’s, I am at your service.
Panel 2
Godfrey: Please, take your time. No matter when, it is a thrill to show your gift to the one you love!
Basil: Indeed, it is…
Panel 3
Irene: …Well, Mr. Gray, we shall keep that in mind. We do owe Mr. Hallward, as well as yourself, credit for giving us the first clue. Above all, we trust Lord Godalming having referred you.
Panel 4
Dorian: Ah, indeed, good old Basil…Anyway. I am glad Lord Godalming has put my little joke behind him. He’s a bit of a humorless sort, sometimes.
Panel 5
Mina: Oh, rest assured, Arthur is quite mirthful.
Panel 6
Mina: He does, however, have his limits when it comes to love.
Mina (white text): We, however, shall suffer no mockery of Love.
Panel 7
Background text (left side): “How long will you like me? Till I have my first wrinkle, I suppose.” “I love her, and I must make her love me.” “I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.”
Background text (right side): “I would give my soul for that!” “To-night she is Imogen, and to-morrow night she will be Juliet.” “When is she Sibyl Vane?” “Never.” “You have spoiled the romance of my life. How little you can know of love, if you say it mars your art! Without your art, you are nothing.”
Background text (white): Mockery of Love (x3)
Panel 8
Mina: …Is everything quite alright, Mr. Gray?
Panel 9
Dorian: Oh! Yes—I was just saying—We would be delighted to keep in touch with such…ahem…intriguing company. But for now I am afraid we must bid you adieu, erm, if you’ll excuse me…
What in the actual... That's it? No mention of how the rest of the group faired? All that team building and it's just you and your LI of choice, completely ignoring the platonic bonds that formed in that ship???! No rewards from Danu? NOTHING???
Clemencia: Okay, we wanna hear everything. Lucy, get the wine and unplug the phone. Lammy, does this end well or do we need tissues?
Lamina: Oh, it ended very well.
Lucy Gray: Do not start without me! Do not start without me!
Clemencia: Okay, alright, let's hear about this kiss. Was it a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, you know, "I gotta have you now" kind of thing?
Lamina: Well, at first it was really intense, you know? And then, oh God, and then we just sort of sunk into it.
Clemencia: Ohh... So, okay, was she holding you? Or were her hands on your back?
Lamina: First they started out on my waist and then they slid up and then they were in my hair.
Lucy Gray and Clemencia: Ooooo!
*meanwhile*
Brandy eating pizza in her house: And, uh, and then I kissed her.
Coral: Tongue?
Brandy: Yeah.
Arachne: Cool.
*yes clemencia’s girlfriend and lucy grays girlfriend are in a friend group with brandy*
