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.

Comments

"Hey, it happens. Sometimes our emotions get the better of us, whether we like it or not. At least you're aware of it, and that might make it easier to handle next time." Because let's face it, the Inquisition goes everywhere and the chances of interacting with another clan are not excessively low. But even if the elves don't accept her, Katniss' insight could still be needed. "If you still need to work out that anger after we're finished here, we can always take a hunting trip around the area afterward."

She smirked down at her knees, before she shook her head. "If I can't exhaust it out of me, doing all this ... my anger is going to just hang out there for as long as possible."

She'd just have to find another outlet.

[gatheringstorm]

Korrin nods, not judging or disappointed. It is what it is. "Maybe it'll exhaust itself, in time. Or you'll find some other way that hasn't come to mind yet. In the mean time, make use of it how you can." She trusts Katniss to handle that better than she would herself. If it were up to Korrin, the training dummies would be splinters, and there would be dead bears for miles around. Or something just as dramatic and destructive.

[the_effect_she_has]

"I will." She quoted, and with a fairly decent impersonation of Zevran's voice, "'Channel your rage. Smile, nod, and then find an outlet for all your frustration.'"

She smirked faintly, pushing a sweaty strand of hair out of her face, before taking another swallow of water. "Words from the master himself."

[gatheringstorm]

That impression gets Korrin to chuckle, as she nods approvingly to the impersonation's accuracy. "Well, he would know. If you can manage that, more power to you. Maybe he'll have some suggestions on that, too."

[the_effect_she_has]

"Maybe he will ... I'll have to track him down first. He's Zevran, and Zevran likes to be mysterious and -- probably in bed with someone pretty." She smirked faintly, but it wasn't a bad idea. She'd have to see if Zevran had some ideas.
