build that wall [OPEN]
Who: The Kid and YOU
What: Kid aims to do the thing he does best after breaking shit--building shit.
When: 9/4
Where: Islet 2 and Islet 3
Warnings: None?
Kid knew when he saw the buildings out on the islets, and the haphazard bridges between landmasses, that there was going to be a whole lot of work to be done. None of this is up to code, you could say. It's a whole lot of work for one man named Kid, but he's not gonna complain, plus he kind of expects people to start pitching in once they realize how dilapidated all of it is.
Getting cut stone isn't an option yet, so people are gonna have to settle for wood--both cut down from the jungle and salvaged from the shore--and lots and lots of palm fronds. It's better than nothing, and Kid's been practically stockpiling both. He was figuring he might just have to start making houses just from scratch, so it's nice of the Storyteller to give him something to work with. Maybe he can have a word with the rabbit sometime about setting up a quarry somewhere, see if they can't get their hands on some quality stone.
In the meantime, he sets up a sort of base of operations in one of the shacks on the third islet, eventually figuring that he might as well just live here. It takes awhile to transfer all the wood, building materials, and his own possessions through the mana pool. Once that's done, he goes to work.
He works on his own shack first, shoring up the walls and weaving some palm fronds together to cover a pretty gnarly hole in the ceiling. Once he's got the bare-bones repairs done, he goes to work on other buildings. It doesn't even matter if someone's trying to live there already--if there's a hole in the wall or some crumbling stone, Kid aims to fix it right up. He knows full well that people aren't going to survive long in a bunch of ruined houses. The first storm that hits will be a nightmare for anyone who still has holes in their ceiling.
He spends the remainder of the day working on two of the islets, figuring he'll tackle the other islets over the course of the week. He takes breaks now and then to rinse off in the ocean and grab a bite and a drink. He's not a machine, after all. Probably.
