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

Well I know rubber helps with the electricity, most wires seem to be encased in something similar for that reason.

If there are those who have the specialty, certainly defer to them, but I will enjoy the chance to learn and help beyond carrying things.

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?

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.

Really? How interesting.

He must be made of very well tempered glass with very few imperfections. Glass can be quite strong if used correctly, but it would take quite the craftsman. I wonder who made him.

Regrettably, I would like to try it because curiosity demands I do. I have no doubt it will be too much for my tastes when even the bread here is too sweet.

Sounds wonderful. The pitcher, not the eating straight honey. I knew someone back home who would have likely done similar, she was very fond of meat and sweets. Both can be a bit rich for me.
