WHO: The Inquisition
WHAT: Building!
WHEN: 28th of Cloudreach, through the first week of Bloomingtide
WHERE: The river valley below Skyhold
NOTES: See here for details.

Welcome to the Great Building Project of 9:42, Dragon! So you've come to help construct some living structures and barracks? Excellent, there are several areas in which everyone's help is needed.

Clearing

The Mage Council themselves have dedicated themselves to clearing out the valley, and flattening it as well, so buildings can be constructed. They'll need all the magical help they can get, honestly, and even that will include people to help clear away the wood to be used for building, as well as the stone and other materials. It will be a lot of heavy lifting, carrying, or being able to drive a cart.

Building

Of course there is the building. Holding up walls, hammer and nails, thatch on the roofs, cutting out awkward window where necessary. Putting together fireplaces and firepits. The deft of hand and light of feet are the ones who can climb the roofs, move around without any problems to haul up sod and other things to plug the holes on the roof to make for a snug small hut, or a long and clean barrack hall.

Healing

And of course, there are accidents. Someone accidentally hammers their own hand, falls off a roof, gets a splinter in their finger. The healers themselves are going to need fresh water and herbs brought in, as well as food brought to keep them going.

Fetching/Carrying

Messages need to be brought back and forth between the builders. Water needs to be brought to the thirsty, as well as food. There are a million little things that need to be done to complete this great endeavor, so feel free to help out whatever little way you feel you can.

Katniss

Katniss is everywhere.

There's not a place you won't see the slender young woman, dark hair pulled back in a braid that is coming out in wisps. Dirt smudges her face and hands, but there's a faint smile on her face and no matter what she's doing, she's humming softly. At her heel is the wolf pup, who trots along beside her faithfully, and stands guard while Katniss is up atop a roof, hammering.

She's carrying water to give to people who are building, as well as food. Lifting bundles of stick and rock out of the way, or walking with a builder, murmuring softly over the plans.

Need to talk to her? Just snag her. She'll be glad to stop and talk to anyone who is helping out here.

"Keep it steady ... " Katniss calls out from above, from where the Tal Vashoth is holding up the wall for her, while she gets the rope wrapped around it to hold it in place while they hammered it. She moves quickly, making sure the rope is secure, before she calls out below.

"We got it, go ahead and grab the hammer and nails."

She hopped down, and offered a quick salute to the man. "Thanks. I appreciate it. I'm Katniss, by the by."

[metaari]

There's been a lot of this today, which is just fine with him. Metaari would be no good up on the narrow, unsupported rooftops, even if he's nimble for a big guy. There's still weight involved, and the last thing he wants is to fall through.

He steps back when he gets the all clear and he glances upward before moving to get the tools. His head inclines in greeting and he grins. "Metaari, and it's no problem."

[the_effect_she_has]

Katniss smiles back, just a short and quick one, before it fades back into her normal impassive expression. She takes a hammer, and some nails, to start securing the wall into place.

"Nice to meet you, Metaari." And since they would be working together for the next few minutes, "What do you do here in the Inquisition?"

[metaari]

He rubs the back of his neck as he watches her, taking a moment to give his arms a break from holding heavy things against other heavy things. He's going to be exhausted at the end of the day, but it's going to be worth it. "Bit of everything. I've been doing a bit of helping with training some newer recruits in archery, but mostly I just get pointed in a direction I'm needed and I go."

[the_effect_she_has]

She moves around easily enough, for someone who is used to climbing the rocks and trees of the forest. She does look down at him with a keener interest, however.

"I'm an archer myself - I didn't know the recruits needed training. If you ever want help, let me know."
