Job Info:

The new day means of course new work for Apollo to do.  Wanting a little extra cash she decided to do another job.  As he walked to the site of the job he sighed thinking how nice it was that he didn't have to take a train, that it was only Magnolia.  It was a nice day outside that you want but not cold nice breeze through the air.  You could have asked for better data be doing construction outside. He wanted to be said about the tools with him know he be doing construction,  he shrugged thinking someone would tell him when he got there, He approached the site he saw  some yellow tape around the site.  It was obvious that work is already begun though he couldn't help but feel out of place.  Looking around at everyone in old cloths and construction gear, then looking down at himself wearing a black suit.  He gave a nervous sigh and then looked around for someone close to call to.  Bite as he was about to call someone over someone spotted him and then call to him.  Apollo nervously looked over at the man.

As a man approached Apollo he was wearing a yellow construction hat the blue overalls with red flannel shirt almost exactly what you'd imagine a construction worker to be wearing. He had a very tough exterior it was very physically fit He approached yellow tape on the opposite side of Apollo and held out his hand. "Hello stranger what can I do for you?" He asked and was a jolly manner. He seemed happy to be out here doing his job like he really appreciated being build this house. Though not having a strong grip in comparison to his. All Apollo could do was shake the man's head. They shook hands and Apollo responded. "Um yes sir my name is Apollo Valairs and I represent the Fairy Tail guild." He said nervous manner. The man looked at Apollo but then simply laughed abit. "So you're here to help us then excellent truly excellent please come on in." As you with the tape over to what Apollo through. Possibly nodded and walked under the yellow tape wondering his first task would be. Once he was on the other side the man lowered tape and looked at him motioning for him to follow him.

As Apollo look through out the site he looked at all the people.  There's some just just like menus following construction like gear. On the other hand there are people dressed normally,  but probably just neighbors but he couldn't be sure.  As he looked around then the man he was following looked at him. "Not really dressed for this work are you" the man chuckled to him.  Apollo simply looked at his black suit them back up at the man. "I guess not..."  Apollo chuckled nervously back at the man.  He went to an old man the one Apollo can only guess was the client.  Your man got up and hobbled towards Apollo.

"You must be the Fairy Tail guild member they were sending"  he said nodding his head in approval.  "Yes sir my name is Apollo and I'm here to help you."  He said nodding his head a bit.  The man just smiled and looked at his roof. "Well start by fixing the ports because a porch roof will need to be fixed as well."  Apollo looked at the porch and back at him and gave a simple nod of approval.  "  If you need water the cooler is over there"  the old man pointed. Apollo smiled and then went straight to the porch.

Apollo walked over and begin work immediately. Grab the tape measure and begin to measure measurements. Apollo's measurements were very precisely done, not want to screw up the job or the man's house that matter. As he measured the boards for the floor. He looked up and saw two men simply taking boards that they've already cut measured and placing them down and nailing them in place. After a few months Apollo grab the saw and began to cut the wood. He did very quickly and efficiently make sure the men would always have a board to nail down but also to make sure he did it accurately, after a while of this was formed out in the port porch floor was like a well oil machine. It is getting done with great haste great accuracy as well. Early afternoon and finished putting the boards of inside to get the pillars up ro they can work on the rail. So much like before polls are measuring pillars. Carefully monitor each piece of timber and then gave a swift cut with a saw. After he had finished cutting the pillars out to simply help secure them to place after he nail them down it was time for this day to be done on my back at it tomorrow.

As Apollo made his way to the construction site can help but see the same people working with yesterday.  I not knowing what to say to them as it him have much interaction with them other than the occasional good job or good work.  He sighed not exactly being a morning person but went to the site nonetheless. As he approached the site he saw lot of the people that were there yesterday not just the ones he was following.   Which made him smile at the dedication to help this old man with his house.      Apollo swiftly went straight to work.  As he started to work he noticed a few of the other workers were sitting, stretching, getting ready to work still.  He said we shall get this and began work on the veil on the inside.  After measurement here and there the wood was ready to be cut and made it into the rail.  By this time the other workers have joined Apollo cutting some of his measurement out.  After a while the rail was finished and as he walked to the shingles that were going on to move the old man approached him.

"Young man if you want you can take a break just like the rest of the workers"  he said not worried tone.  Apollo simply looked over and saw the other workers were stopping for lunch opening boxes and what not.  Paul then look back at the man and nervously shook his head "it's quite alright sir I can start the roof now"  he said nervously the old man just smiled at him and gave a nod of approval.  Apollo then grabbed the shingles and a hammer and start to ascend to the roof.. When he got there he looked at the the roof for a moment and then gave a sigh. "Where to start now..." He thought to himself as he set the stuff down.

Apollo decided to start in the middle and work his way down.  He started promptly with the tedious job of re-shingling the roof. Though the room to be challenging in a few aspects for Apollo.  A few of the other workers joined Apollo after about an hour. The roof went marginally quicker but Apollo ran into his first main obstacle.  Apollo sighed loosened his tie a little bit. "Man it's so hot out"he sighed to himself and then promptly took out the black coat part of his suit.  The other workers also irritated from the heat looked over at Apollo noticing to the Guild mark one of them slid over on the roof as Apollo was hammering a a shingle to the roof.  

"Hey why don't you just use magic and make this job a little quicker."  Apollo sat there for a moment and thought about it.  Aside from his magic not being very suitable for this work he simply gave a sigh going with one of his beliefs in life.  "Um I personally think if you can do a job without magic you should"  he nodded firmly at the man. "Then what's the point of having magic" he said obviously not liking Apollo's answer.  Apollo sighed "if we were putting up a while just to people I would use my magic but as it stands we don't need my magic to re shingle the roof, we can do this by hand" he said and then promptly went back to work.  The man  almost like he couldn't believe what apologist said to him grunted out Apollo and went back to work.

After much the that is passed most of the roof was re-shingled.  There's only a little bit left to do tomorrow but the old man called Apollo down.  Apollo nodded grabbed his coat and climbed on the latter.  Also his coat over his shoulder and walked up to the old man "yes sir what do you need"  he asked tilting his head nervously wondering if you was doing a bad job or not.

The old man simply put a hand on Apollo shoulder "don't worry son your doing a great job I just have a request for you." He smiled at Apollo and then removed his hand from his shoulder and then paid him a folded piece of paper "I know this isn't part of the request you answered but can you go get these items in the store for me"  he asked in a very gentle manner.  Apollo grabbed the paper and looked at it it turned out it was a grocery list. I looked at the old man and then give a nod "yeah sure no problem" he said to the old man.  The old man does not and went back to sitting on his porch resting. Then Apollo went off thinking there had a schedule anyway so this could hurt.  You are swiftly to go get the man's groceries.

By the time Apollo returned with the man's groceries the rest of the workers were gone.  Apollo simply walked inside the man's house that groceries on his counter.  The old man walked in from the other room. " Oh your back thank you very much" he nodded in approval.  While nodded back but then tilted his head a little bit. "Where is everyone else."  He asked nervously.  "Oh they are all Done since all it needs to be done are the gutters"  Apollo nodded and gave away the old man. "Well I'll see you tomorrow morning sir" he said as he left.  The old man gave a nod of approval and then returned to his bed.

Apollo woke up in the morning eager to get back to work. As he left a small apartment it was a nice day still little hot but he was still determined to go finish his job.  As he walked the streets it seemed like a normal day.  As he got to the site he saw the old man sitting on his porch aside from all that the yard was still scattered tools and other leftover material all around you notice he was really the only one there. Okay good I was there military retained gutters. He walked over to the old man and simply gave a small nod.  

"Um good morning sir" Apollo say gave a small wave to him.  The old man nodded and looked up at Apollo.  "Good to see you came back to finish this all the work" he nodded at Apollo. Apollo nodded it would straight to work.  He grab the pieces of the gutter and went straight onto the roof.  When he got on the roof he set the of pieces of the gutter where they need to go.  Then he took off his black suit coat folded it up and begin work.  As the sun glared down upon him he was determined to get the job done what it means.

Apollo spent the day diligently working. He hung the gutters just as instructed.  In a way was much easier working by himself. He didn't have to worry about anyone bumping into him getting in his way he can do things at his own pace.  As he worked he saw people passing on the streets.  The old man went and talked to a few of them but Apollo couldn't hear what they were saying. The software downloaded during the day to make his job any easier there are some points when he kept dropping his hammer.  Apollo solve this issue by taking of his tie and tying the hammer to his belt loop determined not to lose his hammer anymore and finish a job.Towards mid-afternoon Apollo finished the gutters.  He grabbed his suit coat put it on and retied his tie then climbed down the ladder.  As he got to the bottom he sighed and took a quick look around. And then went to go find the old man.  The old man on the porch asleep. He sighed and then took one quick look at the yard he thought to himself "I can't leave it like this" and started to pick things up.

Apollo the yard wondering where he should start there were tools scattered all around paper from the wood in bits of scraps of wood for that matter.  He just gave a sigh in a shrug and walk in a random direction figuring that's the best he's going to do.  He started off by picking up the tools and organizing them on the porch. There weren't many tools laying around just ones he let his neighbors borrow he figured.  After that he went to pick up the scraps of wood and paper.  By the end of the day he found himself sweeping off sawdust from the porch.  The old man was awoken and simply looked at him at him "did you just clean my yard"  he asked in confusion. All Apollo could do was nod as he swept because before he could answer the old man had already begun talking again. "What about my gutter are they done to?" He asked looking around.

Apollo nodded at the man again "yes sir I cleaned the yard after I finished the gutters a while ago"  he said with slight nervousness stop sweeping to look at the old man.  "Why then I didn't hire you clean my yard as far as I'm concerned you finish your job"he said tilting his head a little bit.  Apollo looked at him and shrugged a little bit. "With all respect sir I didn't consider the job finished" Apollo said with a little bit of nervousness but still looking at as he began to sweep again. "Oh I see... I'll go get your payment than.

Apollo had just finished sweeping with a man approached him. "Perfect timing" he thought to himself as he approached him."  the man held out a small bag of jewels "well here's your payment." He says the Apollo grabbed the bag from him.  Just as Apollo was about to leave though the old man stopped him.  "Wait here take this as well a small thanks for doing the extra work"  in his hand was a small bag of jewels but still extra.  Apollo sighed and shook his head "thank you but I don't require any more payment I just simply finish the job that's all" he said nodding at the man.  The man looked puzzled but simply gave a nod "all right if you say so thanks again kid." He said with a smile as Apollo turned to leave.  Apollo turned to leave "see you around  and remember if you ever need help The Fairy Tail guild will always be here."  About any of the backing of the old man acknowledged what he said defensively return back to the Guild wondering what you have to do next.
