Unicorn in need of a job...
Characters: Jabu and Yuri Lowell
Content: The captain and the first mate of the Fiertia meet
Setting: Kropmork, where the Fiertia is docked
Time: Backlogged to before the Fiertia sets sail
Warnings: None expected
Jabu had recognized the name of the mercenary's Guild first. "Brave Vesperia," a star rarely seen but a name he recognized; one Miss Saori had liked. It was nowhere near his own Unicorn constellation in the sky, but he took it as a sign nonetheless when he came to Kropmork looking for an airship to take him on. After all, how many other fighters took stars as their emblem? It had to be lucky somehow.
He was by the docks, eyes on the ship they had told him to seek out - the Fiertia. She was smaller than some ships he'd worked on and bigger than others, but he liked the look of her; he could picture himself standing on the deck giving orders to quick-to-obey crewmembers, and the thought made him grin. He hefted the box on his back containing his armor higher, scanning the dock for some sign of her captain, Yuri Lowell, whom he'd been told would be nearby. He'd had a description given him, but the dock was crowded and faces blended together.
Jabu's eyes fell on a small bar, squeezed between two larger shipping offices, just across the way. Even if the captain himself wasn't there, there'd be someone there who could tell him where he was for the right price. That was just how it worked in Kropmork.
He stepped inside and glanced around. No one jumped out at him as the captain of the ship outside. "Hey!" he said loudly over the murmur of voices, causing heads to turn in his direction. "Anybody in here know where I can find Yuri Lowell?"
