FAIRY TAIL:
The Small Adventures of Wendy Marvell
~31~
'Moonbay Requests'
Avalon Railburn cleared his throat, spitting a clump of blood from his lips as he massaged the swellings on his face that bore a footprint that somehow matches the bottom of Wendy Marvell's shoes.
They were followed by Carla the Exceed Cat and Mint Bell the Mage who can drop a Buddha bell like a hammer, where the latter was playing with the former's tail as if a scout learning how to tie a knot.
"First off, we need a job. And we can't rely on the inconvenient system that you Fairy Tail Mages use back in your side of the world."
"How is walking up to a Request Board in your guild, pull off the form, and register it with the Guild Master that complicated! And please don't refer to my Guild as if they were strangers of a foreign land with a foreign culture you cannot understand. It's rude."
"Meh."
Giving that nonsensical and uncaring response, Avalon carried a stack of papyrus paper slips. They were not request forms that Wendy normally would see in her guild. Rather, they were freshly written not to long ago by various clients and job givers that the group had came across through the city of Moonbay.
Clients as in random people they met, Avalon threatening, Wendy restraining, and forced to accept their offers.
To simplify this idea: think of getting side tracked from hundreds of Side Missions in a mystic video game and completely forgetting the main storyline altogether. That's the idea in a nutshell.
Avalon waved that stack of important paper that resembled a wad of cash, by treating it as a fan to cool him down in the blazing afternoon heat.
"I know I hate the cold, but the Summer Peaks here in this town is crazy… Sigh. Okay, straight to business."
"Yes. Please stop dragging the main plot of the story."
"?-?-?"
Avalon held in his hand those Side Quest that he and Wendy gathered. They were minor request for aid within the town: Searching for a lost cat, helping out at a local hospital raffle, coordinate a bingo tournament in someone's back yard, security work, some hard-boiled-detective work, and unnecessary orders like 'I want a Syrup Dip Donut with Vanilla Frosting, no milk or sugar in my coffee, and a chocolate chip cookie with 10 chips more than cookie dough'.
"… Yeah, we can burn that last request we picked up."
"Stop! If you add up the payment from all of these request together, it's no more than 35.56 Jewel Pieces! Please think about our failing economy."
"Meh. I was sh*tty with math in kindergarten so whatever."
"Please don't swear in front of a chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllld!"
