Have a message for Weiss or don't want to make a new post for a thread? Leave it here!
(If backdated, make sure to note the date and message type in the subject line!)
[ Absolutely, but it's self-inflicted. She knows what she's doing and she chose to do it anyway. The consequences are something she's going to be dealing with on her own terms. ]
How about 9:30am? I have an early-morning meeting with my deputies but I should be back and ready to go by then.
Very well, I'll see you then. Please enjoy the rest of your day.

[The following morning, Erza could be found waiting in the lobby of the Guardian's building. She came fifteen minutes early and, with nothing to do but wait patiently for her meeting, began fidgeting with her wardrobe.
Every few minutes there's a flash of golden light and her clothing transforms from ornate ball gowns to more casual attire and then to various suits of armor. She has no idea what she should wear to, what is by all accounts, a very important meaning. Furthermore, she doesn't know what kind of person Weiss Schnee is but she still wants to make a good impression.
In the end, Erza decides that her regular armor is perhaps the best attire to show off who she really is.]
Hmmm, perhaps... a dress would be better after all.
[Or not. Weiss will probably find her requipping through various dresses while baffling any other visitors in the lobby who've never seen this kind of magic before.]
You know, most people get dressed before they come to their meeting.
[ She's the only one who seems to be waiting around, even if it's in a very strange manner. Weiss is dressed in a short, puffy skirt and a long-sleeved jacket, along with boots that seem to have heels nearly 4 inches high. She hardly looks like a warrior, but she isn't the type to worry about what other people are wearing. She likes her combat skirts. Always has, always will. ]
[Erza stops once she's addressed and her clothing reverts to the armor she'd entered the building wearing. Could this be Weiss? She certainly sounds like the girl Erza had spoken to.]
You'll have to forgive me, I'd forgotten how different the fashion in Nova City is. It's been so long since I've been here that I wasn't sure what would be appropriate attire.
Please. Everyone wears their own thing in Genessia City. If you started dressing like me, I'd have to tell you to find your own look. There are different things in-vogue all the time here but they're already used to visitors from other cities, so it's not really an issue.
[ The long-winded way of saying 'wear whatever you want.' ]
Sorry for the delay I got buried beneath work. orz
I'm certain that you're aware of the crisis in Fayren? I wish I could say that our efforts, and those of Fayren's Guardian, have been effective in resolving the conflict with the Hands of Decay, but they have not.
While we've been fortunate enough not to have lost any of those taking shelter at Fairy Haven, there are many who are still facing persecution and death beyond our protection. Our territory is only so large, and we're lacking significant resources and manpower these days. I fear that it's only a matter of time before tragedy strikes.
I've heard that you're sympathetic to our plight. Perhaps this is selfish of me as we've only just met, but I've come here today to ask for your aid.
[ The fact that this is happening leads her to believe that Mewtwo certainly hasn't gone through with making any changes. Not yet, if he's even planning on it. She knew it would take effort for the two groups to actually overcome their differences, but the lack of cooperation and assistance the Guardian's office is offering is surprising given what Mewtwo had told her he was going to try to improve upon. Maybe they just hadn't gotten there yet. Maybe they never would, and all of that was just lip service to try to get Nova City's Guardian back on their good side. ]
I am, but you're going to have to be a little more specific about what you want from me. It isn't like I can just lead an army into Fayren to assist all of you and I don't particularly get along with Fayren's Guardian either, even if their Deputy has at least made recent efforts after realizing that there are consequences to behaving how they had.
[ The last note of her voice seemed to peak at an annoyed pitch, but Weiss kept any explicitly rude comments to herself. For now. ]

[Erza smiles, equal parts satisfied and relieved. She straightens and inclines her head respectfully.]
My name is Erza and unless I'm mistaken, you must be Miss Schnee. Thank you for making the time to meet with me.
No problem! It happens.
[ She didn't mind the respect, but she felt more like herself when people called her by her first name. ]
It's nice to meet you in person, Erza. What was it you wanted to meet about?
