I've been out there and seen the things she's made
So Mythal had made the decision to go to Fairy Tail and... apparently try to join the guild. Even as he walked out of the travel agency, he stared strangely at the passport in his hand, reading and rereading each part of it. What had possessed him to choose Fairy Tail rather than just register as guildless? Well, he knew what had convinced him; the dangerous mix of alcohols he had consumed last night slash early this morning. Hell, he wasn't even sure what time it was. He knew it wasn't too early as the sun was annoyingly hanging in the sky at such an angle that it practically bore down upon him. He grunted and thrust the passport back into his back pocket, followed by shoving both his hands into the front patches in front. "I have a direction. Just no way of getting there beyond walking..." And that sounded miserable; it would take him days, maybe even weeks to get to Magnolia.
It wasn't so much that he didn't know where he was going -- he certainly had a general idea. But somehow he always found himself distracted or misled by one thing or another. Ninety percent of the time it was a liquor binge. Rarely was it his getting involved in something he should never have stuck his nose into in the first place. There were even times it had been both. Whatever the case, he didn’t have any jewel to afford transportation. He could try to do some quick work before he left Hargeon that would pay him a minimum amount. But more often than not, those kinds of jobs were ones he didn’t particularly enjoy.
Trapped in his mind, he barely registered his meandering path that had taken him by the docks. His internal focus was so intense that he didn’t even see the man waving at him from the waterline. He was a large tub of a man, who stood upon the wooden planks of a dock that certainly was bending and straining under his weight. He scowled as Mythal continued to walk on, having been the twelfth person to ignore him. His agitation came out in a loud, annoyed bellow. “Hey you!”
That was enough to snap Mythal out of his focus, the man stopping in his tracks. He turned his head slowly to look over his shoulder, much to the bewilderment of the fat man. He should have started with his captain voice. “Yeah you! Come over here a minute.”
Great; what had he done now? He couldn’t really recall anything from last night, which meant it was entirely possible he had pulled some cheap trick or prank on this guy. And now he was about to get his comeuppance. Sighing dramatically, Mythal turned and walked over to the edge of the stone walkway, lingering on the verge of wooden dock and cobblestone path. "Listen pal; whatever it is I did, you can blame it on the booze. I ain’t got any jewel to pay you back.”
“What? No, you misunderstand. Listen, I’ve been standing here for over an hour trying to get some help. My crew has apparently taken a holiday and I haven’t been able to reach any of them,” he explained, holding up his iLac in distress. “I just got chartered to do a quick delivery to River Village and I have absolutely no one to help me load these boxes and then unload them there.”
"Sucks to be you, buddy,” Mythal said, clearly only half-listening. His own problems were far more concerning than this.
“You’re a strapping young lad. All I’m asking is some help to get the delivery on my boat and, if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, help offloading them at River Village. If you come with me, I’ll bring you back immediately after and even pay you two thousand jewel…”
"Two thousand jewel?! Mythal’s attention was completely on the ship captain now, his eyes practically bugging out of his head. He pulled back almost immediately, trying to recapture his poise. "River Village? That ain’t too far. Sure buddy; I’ll help you with your delivery.”
“Really?!” The captain was practically beaming he was so excited.
"Sure. I’ll even do you one better; you can leave me at River Village. Cuts a day or two off my travel anyways,” Mythal stepped off the cobblestone and onto the dock. He moved past the man and hoisted one of the boxes up with one hand, easily holding it up over his head. "Let’s get moving then.”
