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

There's strain as he shoves at one of the larger rocks. One of the organizers had taken one look at him and pointed him in the rock's direction without a word. And, sure, he can do it, but he wishes that maybe he had a cart or something to put this thing on.

Still, he's managed to move it quite a distance by now, if the trail behind him is any indication. He leans against the rock as he hears a voice and he looks up with a grin. "Hey, no problem. Nothing like some grunt work to make a guy feel alive."

[gatheringstorm]

"I'll drink to that...later. After all that laying around thanks to the fucking spirit-plague, I can't be on my feet often enough. Anything to keep moving." So, she might as well put that to good use, right? Right. Korrin wipes her forehead, straightening. "Did that get you, too, or were you among the lucky ones?"

[metaari]

Metaari pauses and frowns at that, glancing away with a sigh. "Yeah, I got it. It's been a hell of a month for me." He goes back to shoving the rock again, mostly as a distraction. "First, my arm breaks while I oversee Merrick's mission to contact the Dalish. Then, I return and almost immediately get laid out in a sick bed. Luck has not been on my side."

[gatheringstorm]

Mention of that arm breaking has Korrin wincing in sympathy. "I've been there. It's a pain in the ass, being on the sidelines until you stop feeling like utter shit, both ways. Tell you what, if you're at the tavern after this, I'll buy you a round. Maybe that'll help kickstart your luck back to where it should be." And if not, it's still a drink.
