Jason dropped the phone as soon as Edric finished his sentence and was out the door as fast as he could, leaving behind a confused bartender who'd just been talking Jason out of his funk, trying anyway.

With stumbled steps, he made a beeline for the road, nearly getting hit when he tried to stop a cab.

His words were a furious slur, but somehow the driver managed to understand him and made way for the nearest ferry, nearly an hour out. Jason jittered in the car, speaking nonsense about some woman named April, cussing him out everytime he said he didn't know her.

Next, Jason stumbled his way onto the last ferry, nearly being kicked off if it weren't for the nice old lady that seemed to want to take care of him. For an hour, the drunken Jason listened to the old woman lecture about alcohol, not being able to get even so much as a word in edge wise, even drunk. In fact, her lecture almost sobered him up a bit, enough to start feeling the pain again.

The ferry docked in Oasari and Jason, now a bit more sober, caught another taxi to Athalia. As they rode, he pulled a flask from his inside pocket and began drinking again, quickly as if the liquid contained inside would save him.

Yet another hour later, and more angry screaming at the driver, Jason stumbled onto the campus, probably more drunk than he'd been at the bar in Elaniel. He stumbled for a few minutes before he found an opening. If he'd been sober, he'd have noticed it wasn't a door but a window and that he was crawling into some unsuspecting female's dorm room. When he finally rolled in, he got up, breaking a few things in the process, and opened the door to find a girl with snake hair and a boy staring at him.

"Gith me Abbbril!!"
