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

sorry buddy. never did the wizard stuff. i guess i could teach you some monk moves if you wanted to go to beaus boot camp but youd really need to be up for it.

i had a cool ass sword once. it was gold and you could teleport with it. gave it to a friend though.

Hmm, I'll consider it but it's probably a no. If I have to choose a weapon that isn't magic, I at least have some experience with guns.

Also, I had a stopwatch that could pause time for up to 24 hours. I miss it more every single day of my life, to be honest.

I know, right? We made almost everything in the Encanto, or the villagers made everything and we helped with a lot of it after the magic was done making the casita and the mountains. theyve got things that were made on the other side of the world here!
lesbeau: (« [Smirk] yeah that was kinda dope)

[personal profile] lesbeau 2022-07-29 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
trust me, i'm not a fan of the big delegators, but i can do it. i work well with limited resources anyway.

considering at least two of the rooms are already like that i bet it'd be easier to just leave them that way and fortify the rest. besides we can always put a wall back up later if we wanted i guess.
abrightboy: (makes a point)

I can look for solar panels if you want.

dude that sounds sick as hell. i got a couple things here with me but most of them dont work right. or they do but its kind of overkill. actually havent really used one and now im wondering whats gonna happen if i do.

but still. you ever need to throw a punch, im your gal.
lesbeau: (« [Thoughtful] well im outta ideas)

[personal profile] lesbeau 2022-07-30 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
oh no one of them had a hole for a while that i think someone punched through. don't know if that was one of us or not. and then it just kind of got worse. it was on the second floor i think the first two rooms in the hall? there were some posters over it but a bunch crumbled again during that big snowstorm.

[That last bit probably shouldn't make Steve smile, but it does.]

I can't say I'm particularly sorry she's gone, either. Or that it was particularly easy to get her that way. I hope she stays gone.

But a meeting sounds good. I'm not much of a cook, but if you'd like help, I can take orders pretty well.
[When he wants to. He would, though, to help out.]

You might be surprised how easy it comes, really.

[But then, hopefully everyone she's directing with this project wants to be directed, which will help.]

Where are you from?

[Jaeger can't help but make a face, as well, because the idea of a Winter of actual Buried Memories sounds...really, really horrible to him.]

Careful, this place could very well take you literally on that, given some of the things we've seen happen here.

[He clears his throat, a small rough sound.]

But I'm glad to be involved. Keep me updated, and I'll be there as much as I can.

And I would caution you against casting judgement on a man you've just met.

It is similar back home. Hard packed dirt and a woven rug can serve just as comfortably, but it does not keep the heat in quite as well. Or, supposedly, look as nice.

The exterior to prevent more damage and then the mold to keep the air clean for workers? If we will need to strip down the walls for both wiring and mold, then we will need to work there next.

I'm pretty sure I can at least help with demolition on that front.
lesbeau: (« [Surprise] ???)

[personal profile] lesbeau 2022-07-31 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
wow. alright you've seen enough. no wonder aelwyn thinks you're cool, you look all sweet but you're ready to throw down. good traits in someone stuck with a bunch of us fighting cosmic horrors.

but yeah. hopefully, no more of her for a while. or ever, if we're lucky, but i don't put a lot on luck.

An engineer is probably the best bet.

We can play it by ear.
Some folks won't know they got a problem
until theys up their.

We'll just help them down and
try the next group.

Probly be best to do it in teams.

One person on the ladder who knows
what he's doing and one person
on the roof the same.

Send people up one at a time.

They pass that test then we can
talk shingles.
