Network - 05 (Player Plot - Let's Fix Up Bonnie's Place)

Who: Mercy Graves
Username: mercyme
Warnings: potential discussion of fantasy racism
What: Starting up a Player Plot to fix up Bonnie's Flophouse. Let's give everyone nicer housing!

To the Gentlefolk of Other Worlds,

We have proved our mettle in Wolf Pen and returned home in both triumph to overcome a great evil, and grief for what was lost, despite our best efforts otherwise. For Sradans, my people, this is a feeling we know well. We name it the Living Haunt, for the memories will be with us until we are laid beneath the quiet soil and know our final rest. I pray that those who were lost in those distant mountains may find their ways to their gods, and know what peace and joy the Endless Sleep may bring. And that their bodies may bring life to the soil to feed those they loved.

But as they rest, we move on with our Living Haunt. Mine rests heavy, but that is not without its merits, for it is a motivating force. In Wolf Pen, we made a home for one family. Here in Gloucester, there is a home for many that is in equally poor repair, one that some of our own people set their boots aside in.

I speak of Bonnie's flophouse. I have spoken with her, and she has agreed to allow repair efforts at her property if I organize these efforts and attend to the costs. I am one woman. I can do what it is in me to, but no more. I would beg assistance from the rest of our number. There is much good to be done with ADI in defending this world against threats beyond our imagining. But cold and rain and hunger are great dangers to the common folk. We could help with this.

As a Sister of the Spring Tide, it is my duty to do so. I will be assembling equipment to begin repairs first on the roof and on the exterior of the building. For nothing can be accomplished fully until we know our efforts will not be washed away with the next storm.

Who would join me? I ask for your expertise, your time, and whatever funds you can contribute.

May the spring bring life to you and yours,
Mercy Graves

Yeah I done plenty of shingle work.
I don't mind teaching it. It ain't hard to learn.
Biggest thing is having a head for heights or not.
Anybody who don't shouldn't go up there.

Insulation, yes. There's some in the walls too, as you said, though not rubber, I think.

[Which...]

From a quick search, it seems large fans might be useful, but there could be mold growing as well with all the damp and dark. Have you checked the floors for the same?

Just Peter is fine. No need for the Mr, really.

I'm no expert on houses but I think insulating the roof and windows could be a good idea, especially when days get colder again. And the appliances could use an overhaul. I haven't actually looked at the fuse box yet but I could imagine that they blow from time to time. Especially if we're going to be more people in the future.

Also looking at the yard, at drainage on the property and around the house and if that can be improved. It's New England and torrential rain isn't exactly unexpected. Or snow, for that matter.

But I agree it's a worthwhile project, and you have as much support as I can manage.

Oh, yes. I can do that. I'll let you know what I find. Do you know how big of a generator they need?

I'm good enough with a knife that I'm not worried about that aspect of all this.

[ he absolutely should be. ]

Sir, I guess - you can just call me Steve. Steve Rogers. It's nice to meet you. Virtually, I guess?

I'd be more than willing to learn how to put a roof on a place, and if you want me to bring over some ideas for colors and how it might all work together, I'd be happy to show you - and her. We've never met.

i'm down to write this or handwave it, whichever you prefer! maybe in inboxes if the former?

[personal profile] taabou 2022-07-26 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that'd be great! Thanks.

I'll be the guy with the leather jacket and the wallet chain. I appreciate it, Ms. Mercy.

Oh well I dont know that they're excellent skills but Hernando can patch pretty well and Jorge figured out spackle after only three tries so I guess that's alright

you're not going to say i can't work with a bucket on my head, are you?
brunonono: (wide-eyed | say what)

Sometimes seeing less is better

oh you see that's the best part, if you trip or fall it protects your head!

ADI didn't like it though so I have to work in the kitchen

[It's normal for Bruno, and that's how he'll take her meaning.]

That's great! When are we going to start?
