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

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?

[ 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.

[bindlestifflost]

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.

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.

I don't live there, but I'm willing to help out. I can carry things and I don't mind heights, although I've never fixed a roof.

I can paint, too, when you get that far.

[brunonono]

Hernando and Jorge will help you. Theyre good with their hands and theyve fixed walls before
