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

Mercy. Good to talk to you again.

I'm not any kind of expert in home repair, but I've got some basic experience with maintaining a house. I also assisted a few months ago with the flooding and I agree that Bonnie's is a good, worthwhile project.

So I'd be willing to offer what help I can. Has anyone done a consultation to make a full list of what needs to be done?

bonnie's isn't that bad. but i bet she'd appreciate a better fix to the roof than all the wood i keep sticking up there.

this does feel kind of weird though seeing as it's like just me and bonnie and the blind person in the basement

I'm not super handy but I could carry things or... assist someone handy.

We spoke of this before.

You know I will do everything in my power to help, limited though it is here.

Would you like us to move there, after we're done making it a nicer place to live?

I think the reason why so many people live at the ADI apartments instead is because the ADI apartments are more protected against outside interference.

If we can fix them up, protect them and make them altogether better than the ADI apartments, that could probably change.
lesbeau: (« [Consider] okay mmmmaybe)

[personal profile] lesbeau 2022-07-13 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
i mean you're right. like don't get me wrong you're correct here. not trying to keep anyone out so i have the place to myself or anything. just feels weird to see people planning on fixing up the place without me being involved. dunno how much i can do but i'm gonna be a huge jerk if i don't help and i'm supposed to be trying to not be that anymore. so call me when you get going.
lesbeau: (« [Bored] oh yeah huh bout that)

[personal profile] lesbeau 2022-07-13 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
maybe. as long as it doesnt bring narcs because we don't have potted plants in the toilet anymore. you start getting too nice it brings in the people who get scared when you run into the living room with a sword.

[beau, what the fuck.]

[ On the one hand, Hickey is a fundamentally lazy person who does not want to do any more effort than he has to. Work is for squares.

On the other hand...he's getting real tired of trying to figure out how some of these computers work. Besides, seems like this might be good press. (and also Beau is in the replies and he really likes Beau)

Worked as the caulker's mate back on the ship I was on. I won't be much help with the bigger picture, actual construction type work, but I'd be good at some of the smaller repairs.

[ he will be mediocre at some of the smaller repairs. ]

I do not have much purpose for money beyond a few necessities, I would be happy to donate some to your cause, Miss Mercy.

I might also be able to research into the things we might not have full knowledge of in this venture, I'm quick to study and a decent teacher from there.

Hey. I'm a new hire at the ADI, but are you still looking for help? I don't have much by way of funds, but I can help with equips, repairs, electric wiring, and any heavy lifting.

Name's Takayuki Yagami, by the way. Sorry we couldn't meet under better circumstances.

You can count me in Sister.

I don't got much funds yet. I can buy some tools and supplies.

I got roofing experience and carpentry.

I like what you said about them that died.

That was real true spoke.

Man, I hope you don't have to deal with guns very often. Even where I come from I try to stay away from those things as much as possible, haha.

I do know how back-up generators work, though. I don't have the money to buy one or the know-how to build one from scratch, but if there're any out there that could possibly be restored I think I could work something out.

Might need more than one, though, depending on how big the place is. I haven't actually seen it in person yet. You think you could ask if I can swing by?

[The "sir" gets a little smile out of him. It's a bit overly formal, but he's still trying to make sense of where he stands with Mercy. He doesn't mind it, he's just...it's been a while since he's been on familiar terms with people.

He's working on it.]


I'm sure Bonnie has a list of things that she considers most important, she's the one who would know the house best. It will make it easier when it comes to organizing, maybe let us handle multiple tasks at the same time and save some effort.

[He gives a small, rough laugh, because he's sort of running with this, isn't he? But it's something that he can affect, things that can be fixed and put in order with little more than some lumber and time.]

I won't take over, I promise. I'm just used to being the one doing the organizing. Mostly, I know enough to put some things in order, and to follow directions without getting in the way.

Hi Miss Graves, I'm Peter, I just moved into Bonnie's flophouse. Pretty cool to see that people want to give the place an overhaul. Love the community spirit. The Spring Tide sounds great!

And I liked that, that was like an essay.

Like, a good essay, you write well.
friendsfordinner: (smirky little shit)

[personal profile] friendsfordinner 2022-07-15 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, what I'm used to probably isn't used in this place. I'm from around two hundred years in this world's past. Still, the technique should be the same.

[ right? maybe? hopefully? fingers crossed? ]

Just bring whatever's recommended and I'll pick it up as I go along.
