Sphinx drew out his black umbrella from one of this trench coat's pockets. It was an interesting feat, seeing as the umbrella extends at a total length of 4 feet, while his pockets are small. He extended the umbrella, allowing him enough cover to block out the sun from his body. He looked at the streets of Magnolia, wincing at the sunlight.
A jobs a job. If I let the sunlight stop me, then I'm not worthy of the power Melcheezar has given me. Sphinx thought to himself.
He started walking briskly, going forward then he turned left at the nearest street. From the distance, he could see an old man, probably in his late seventies, trying his best to lift a shovel. It was the client. Without another word, Sphinx ran towards the man, running at the best of his abilities. He then jumped across the 5 foot fence, and landed directly beside the old man.
"Sir! I am here to help you in your gardening. Once my partner arrives, you may tell us what you want us done!" Sphinx said in a loud, yet courteous voice, bowing at the man, keeping his umbrella above him.

Linally Ragebloom stepped out of the Fairy Tail guild hall, and within a moment she was wincing into the sun, glaring at teh massive burning orb as if she could merely look at it hard enough to drop it from the sky. She must have been in that building for half the day. As she watched the sun burn little holes through her eyes, she took a deep breath of fresh air, something she really could have used for several hours now, and shrugged. The sun wasn't so bad, just a bit of a surprise from being indoors for about thirty hours straight. Linally scanned the area, and thanks to the sudden revealing of an umbrella that caught her gaze, she saw the short man, her partner, and she jogged after him.
By the time she had reached Sphinx, he was already talking to an old man. Their client he turned out to be. Gardening wasn't really her thing, but she figured that as long as she could watch and mimic her partner, she would have no problem with the mission. I mean, what could a few flowers do. Spiders, that was a different story, she detested spiders with all of her heart, worms too, and cockroaches, but she would manage somehow."Hi! We're from the guild and we are here to help out. Are you sure you don't have anything... uh... more dangerous you need help with? Robbers? Rowdy kids throwing rocks at your house? Screwing in a lightbulb?"
Linally chuckled lightly to herself, and probably did not get a laugh out of her partner or the client. Well, it was like that often enough. She thought it was funny, that was all that mattered, she'd guess. Linally lifted her hand to her forehead, making a weak shield or sunblock from the rays trying to fry her pupils completely. She hoped the garden would be on the shady side of the house so she could at least see something.

Sphinx looked glad as his partner arrived. It meant that he could finally start doing his job properly. And it was about time they started. The morning sun is going to turn into a noontime sun, and he hated that. He never once liked getting baked under the sun, preferring nighttime and the cold air the night brings. He quickly stepped closer to the old man, and lifted the shovel with little effort. He also stared at the man's garden. His eyes widened in shock.
IT WAS HUGE!
The garden spanned nearly twice as much as a football field. He didn't noticed it earlier because he was waiting for Linally, but now that he took a good look at it, the garden was far more bigger than he's ever imagined. No wonder the job was made for two people. The entire garden was hidden from view by the man's house, which is rather a let down because he has such a small house, barely bigger than the place Sphinx himself was staying at.
"Looks like we'll be working a bit more than I've expected. No matter," Sphinx punched his fist together, looking all fired up, "Let's get this job done, partner!"
As he was took his step, the old man turned at him and grabbed his trench coat sleeve. The old man looked like he was going to fall into pieces, looking very fragile. The old man then picked up a piece of newspaper, and rolled it into a tube.
"DON'T DESTROY ANYTHING, YOU GOT THAT SHRIMP?!" the old man shouted, hitting Sphinx with the roll of newspaper right on his cheek, "Have a nice day."
The old man lazily stepped inside his house, leaving a shocked Sphinx standing outside. He was rubbing his cheeks, and was wondering how the old man did that. For an old geezer, he has a lot of strength. He rubbed his cheeks for the last time before continuing towards the garden.
"Here," Sphinx threw a gardening sickle towards Linally, "Let's start and finish up early. Its ramen night tonight at the guild."
He then proceeded to digging an irrigation for the old man's farm. There was a lot of ground to cover, but he figured he and his partner could finish the work before sun down. He was hoping so, because he has a lot to do when the sun sets.

Linally saw what she thought was appreciation in her partner, or perhaps he found her joke funny. Regardless, the old bastard obviously didn't as expected. And she sighed lightly, nodded half-heartedly as the two spoke, she was far from enthusiastic about this. Physical work wasn't her thing really, no, she preferred the kind of work that consisted of downing a large mug of beer before your opponent then see who can win in a game of chess, which is guarenteed to be madness at best. Linally smiled at the thought of it. It took Sphinx being slapped in the face with a newspaper for Linally to wake up from her daze, and in a slight giggle too.
Then, he tossed the sickle at her. Linally, as if the tool was some sort of explosive device or would give her the Black Plague if she so much as got within three feet of it, dove to the side and covered her head until she was quite certain the gardening weapon of doom buried its blade into the earth. Then she stood up and ripped the device from the ground and waved it around, pointing a finger angrily at Sphinx. "The hell're you trying to do? Kill me? I hope you know that you could be paying hospital bills and buying me a new coat right now you short little man!" Linally paused, her face was beat red now, but she inhaled slowly, exhaled slowly, inhaled slowly, exhaled slowly. She knew he wasn't trying to kill her, but still, throwing tools at here was uncalled for.
Linally watched Sphinx for a moment as he began to dig. She literally had no clue what she was supposed to do, but it was warm out here. What was it, seventy-five or eighty degrees? Too much for her. She grunted as she pulled off her coat and draped it on the fence of the old geezer's house. She was now wearing a 'v-neck' shirt, quite tight to her body (not that she was extremely busty or anything, but had a good breast size), long pants, and brown thick boots that you might actually see on somebody that WOULD be used to physical labor, but since this was probably the first time they saw mud, it would be unlikely that she would do much. Linally walked back to Sphinx, still surprised by how short he was in comparison to her, and stood a meter or two behind him as he worked. "You know, it's too damn hot out here. I don't know about you, but I think I'm dying." No, it wasn't bad out there at all, but being the Ice Alchemist she was, she was actually quite similar to Sphinx, in the sense they preferred the dark and coolness of night rather than the heat and bright shining of day.
Linally still had yet do anything with that sickle, just sat there, holding it, practically forgetting she had it.

Sphinx simply gave Linally a quiet nod to show that he was busy and has no time to hear her complains out. In fact, it was also a sign that he will take responsibility for whatever complains his partner has after they completed the mission. There was a look of extreme perseverance on his face. Sweat was already forming around his brow, but it didn't matter. All he could care was digging around the garden. He has already completed the irrigation in a short amount of time. Yes, irrigation completed. Now to handle the plants. He thought to himself. He walked near Linally, who seemed to be more concerned about the sun than the job. He gave her a slight frown, but it almost disappeared. He stood beside her when she made a remark regarding the sun. It was true. The sun's heat was reaching its all time high, and even Sphinx can feel the heat already, as his sweat was now dripping from his chin, not to mention he was wearing a rather thick trench coat. He looked at her, glancing slightly at the his partner's features when his face turned into a massive look of surprise and frown. "PEST!" Sphinx shouted mistily. He slammed both hands together, then gradually separating them. In the middle, a dark, shady looking rod was forming. As Sphinx stretched out his hands farther, it became clear. He was conjuring up a spear made out of darkness. He stretched it out from his hand, and aimed it directly towards Linally. As the spear completely materialized, he grabbed it with both hands and charged towards Linally at full speed. "PEST!" He shouted once again, driving the spear down, right beside Linally. From the tip of his spear, a mole was clearly stucked. It was bleeding and from the looks of it, Sphinx did a critical strike. He pulled out the mole with an empty hand, and threw it sideways. He spotted another one, then another one, until the field itself was nearly swarming with mole. Sphinx quickly charged at them with his spear, stabbing as many as he can before they all went underground. He was taking good care not to hit the plants and all. After a couple of minutes, he's already done in more than a dozen of moles, throwing them right beside Linally. By now, there's already a pile of dead moles beside her. And it was piling up more as Sphinx went on a mole killing rampage. He looked like a man possessed, as he continued to pummel the moles. "Come and get some, PESTS!" Sphinx shouted mistily, swinging his spear like a mad man in the middle of the field. Spell Name: Black Dragon Spear Level: Greenhorn Range: Self (spear weapon); short (range of impaling attack from initial release) Description: Sphinxellar causes a dark spear to form from any part of his body, impaling in a single direction, and giving him a useable weapon. A long, dark rod made with darkness with a massive arrow-head tip on one end with jagged, razor blades is formed as a useable spear weapon. The weapon allows Sphinx to increase his attack range to 6 feet, which is the entire height of the spear. At night, the spear increases the damage it deals by 10% by absorbing the dark energies, making the tip vibrate, which increases penetration. Sphinxellar can dissolve the spear at will, before the spear expires. Drawback: When the technique is used, it cannot be used again for two posts after the spear has expired. Also, the spear can only be used for 5 of the user's post. While the spear is in existence, Sphinxellar cannot use any other non-Black Dragon weapon. |

Linally was literally petrified as Sphinx charged at her with the freaking crazy ass look in his eyes. If he was really aiming for her, she would have died without a struggle. It took several minutes for her to realize that she was not the target for his madness, no, just indirectly the target of his insanity. She grit her teeth as she realized she was practically shin-deep in mole-corpses. Her own face turned a powerful red color, once again, as she grew furious.
She stormed over towards Sphinx as soon as he took a breather from Whack-a-mole, and delivered a fierce kick right in between his legs. "Are you freaking crazy? I just about peed myself over there with you running at me like some magic with that dinky little stick of yours! (no pun intended) If you had even two damn brain cells in your little midget-bodied head of yours you'd have realized how stupid that was! I mean seriously! Are you even human? Running around like some clown..." Linally sighed again, getting furious only made things hotter for her, and she did not like the heat. She remained there for a moment, watching him, then began to peel off her shirt, and thanks to how tight it was, and now soaked with sweat, was nearly impossible to get off her head.
She stood there for several seconds with her shirt pulled up over her face, her bright pink bra exposed to the entire world as she gave up and turned towards Sphinx once again. "Hey, will you help me with this? I'm stuck... I can cool things off a little if you do." No, Linally was not joking and neither was she being a pervert. She really could make a very cool presence about her, but she was determined to get the damn shirt off first, which was probably awkward to watch as she sat there in her bright pink bra, which had little red heart designs all over, with the shirt tangled around her face.

Sphinx let out an annoyed groan as he got kicked right in between his legs. He used his dark materia spear as support as he tried to turn around and face Linally. There was a dark frown on his face once again as he stared at Linally. His eyes were protesting and his body was quivering from the unpleasant feeling of getting his manhood kicked.
"You.... n-n-needn't... h-h-have... done that." Sphinx remarked in a raspy, pained , yet misty voice.
It took him a full 5 minutes of twisting in pain before the sensation gradually went away, allowing Sphinx to finally be able to stand on his own two feet. He approached Linally, who was now trying frantically to remove her clothing, which was now soaked in sweat. Aside from finding it bizarre, Sphinx clearly wanted to finish the work soon, as the noontime sun has reached its all time high. He was already sweating, and he needed something to cool him down. He stared at her for a few minutes first, trying to discern the best course of action, and was now very cautious of any more low blows from his partner.
After a few minutes of staring, he poked the shirt with his finger, trying to see how to remove it easily. It looked badly entangled around Linally's face, probably from all the sweat it has gather. He tried yanking it upwards, but it looked stuck. He tried yanking it sidewards, but it only made it worse. He was running out of options.
"Look, girl. Don't kick me for doing this." Sphinx briefly remarked, performing an attacking stance.
He pointed the tip of the spear towards the shirt. Arcing his body backwards, and stretching his arms towards both ends of the spear. He then lunged forward, piecing the shirt with the tip of the spear, missing Linally's skin by a hair's breadth, and continuing towards the back, ripping the shirt apart easily. He stared at Linally.
"No need to thank me. Just doing my job," He then rounded back towards the field, "WHERE ARE YOU, YOU BUNCH OF NOSY PESTS? I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"
Sphinx was once again brandishing his spear wildly, looking for more moles to kill.

The shirt was finally... torn in half as either side fluttered to the ground helplessly. Linally gave a heavy sigh of relief, as if she was released from prison or something equally as tormenting. Smiling happily , she decided she would do a little to cool them off quite significantly. She closed her eyes briefly as she exhaled slowly. Her breath, however, was not normal. It was intensely chilled air, much like that one would experience on a cold winter night walk. The air around her, within mere seconds, would drop by a solid thirty degrees (Fahrenheit), and goodness did she love the feeling. She then walked over to Sphinx and put her elbow of his shoulder, leaning against him for a moment, sharing that intensely cold air.
"Alright, now let me take care of these rats, unless you plan to crawl into those holes after them." Linally giggled lightly as she held her hands together, and as she opened the palms, some sixty marbles were just there. She would drop the marbles down into one of the holes, which of course would do nothing, and then she closed her eyes again, a moment or two later and there was a sudden shattering sound, followed by a single screech, then silence.
"I'll kill rats, you do that plant stuff over there. If you get to hot, just come stand by me. I give you permission as long as you don't try anything." Linally Ragebloom grinned again as she stepped over towards another hole, where the mole would bury into and hide from Linally as she came. She turned to face Sphinx as she pulled another two handfuls of iced marbles out of nowhere and began to drop them into the hole. "You know, if you weren't so short, talked a little more, and weren't completely crazy (as if stripping nearly naked in public was normal) I'd think you'd might almost be human. Still, you've got something interesting about you. Let me buy you a drink or two when we get back." Linally snapped her fingers, followed again by several shattering sounds echoing from the hole in the ground. Then, moving to another hole, she listened for movement.

Sphinx stared at Linally when he saw her completely strip off her shirt. It wasn't her body that made him cozy, but the cool aura that somehow emanated from the young lady. Sphinx gave a relaxed smile towards his partner, showing approval at her technique. He's never met too many Ice Alchemist in his life, especially being a recluse and anti-social most of the time. He gave another nod before continuing to move forward, spotting pests. He was about to strike them down with his spear when Linally rolled what looked like small icy marbles down the holes. There was a frantic squeaking sound, followed by a long silence. Linally then told him to do the plants and let her kill the pests in her stead.
Sphinx nodded, and rounded towards the plants. He was expecting flowers and the like. To his surprise, he saw vegetable plants. One of the vilest things he's ever saw were veggies. He detested them nearly as much as he detested the sunlight. The mere sight of vegetables make him dizzy.
I must not waver! I am a dragon slayer of the dark element. No small thing like this will faze me! Sphinx thought to himself, psyching his mind up.
He worked hard, and started the weeding process. There was a lot of ground to cover but he was no ordinary human. Between him and an ordinary gardener, there was no competition. He crouched low, positioning his spear's blade in front of him. Within a span of fifteen minutes, he has successfully cut down and rooted a third of the field. Sweat was dripping from the tip of chin and cheeks. There was a look of intense dedication around his eyes as he move around the field weeding the place out.
It was nearly evening when he finished. He gave a satisfied nod at the pristine job he has done weeding the field as he made his way towards Linally once again. From the way he walks, one could easily see that he's already exhausted. His exhaustion was not from the work he did, for it was trivial. It was the fact that he was working under sunlight, and around vegetables too. It was like getting roadsick. He was already swaying as he made his way towards Linally.
"I've done my job, partn----" Sphinx was cut off when a sick feeling erupted from his stomach. IN a completely surprising manner, he vomited beside Linally, on the empty mole hole right beside her. It was a gruesome sound, and an unsightly thing. After he finished, he gave Linally a thumbs-up, before walking towards the entrance of the house looking extremely exhausted.

Linally must have killed a dozen or more moles, and some were so freakishly large that she thought she would die from disgust, but it turned out not to be so bad. The big ones were only bigger cowards than the smaller ones, and maybe took more marbles to kill off, they were still slain easily. She turned towards her partner, who started his weak little wobble motion towards her. He looked sick, satisfied but sick."Hey Shortcake, you don't look too-" At that moment, Sphinx fell on his knees and proceeded to vomit right beside Linally's foot, down a hole she had just cleared out, and instantly she felt a queasiness inside herself as well. She held it down though. If she could drink like she did, she could handle a little vomit that was just about to splatter across her shoes.
Linally's first reaction was to pummel the midget's face into the ground, but seeing the state he was in, she actually felt sorry for him. Maybe he should have taken off his enormous coat. No, instead of beating Sphinx, she just lifted her right hand and placed it over her heart, which is where the Fairy Tail Tattoo of hers was located. She took a moment and then decided to walk along besides Sphinx, every step she took left a faint footprint of frost before it dissipated, and it was all thanks to that frosty aura of hers. Linally walked up to the old man's (the client) door and began to pound on it with her fist. She didn't take into account that she was almost naked or that the old man might have a heart attack, but she was ready to get back to the guild for a nice rest. "Hey! Old man! We're done, send your approval to the guild so we can get paid and I won't come back and push you over or something!" Linally turned towards Sphinx and smiled and nodded. It was finished, all that was left is to receive their payment from the guild itself.
Linally walked over and grabbed her coat, but certainly wouldn't be caught dead wearing it at this moment. She looked at it, making sure no dirt, bugs, or anything of the like was hitch hiking, then she walked into town, and towards the guild and assumed Sphinx would be right with her.

Sphinx supported an arm at the doorpost, trying to stop his knees from buckling in on itself. He was shaky, mostly because of seeing so many vegetable patches around him. It didn't matter at first, because he was extremely focused on the killing the moles, but when he proceeded to the weeding, it was where his stomach started turning badly. He didn't wait for Linally to finish her talk with the old man. Instead, he ran towards the direction of the guild. He needs his ramen, and tonight he will eat a big bowl of it, along with a glass of white white.
"I'll see you at the guild, partner. I can feel the dark night coming now!" Sphinx shouted at Linally.
