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

Cyril gives James a small smile. "Interesting turn of phrase there, 'fade into.'" Now he's just giving James a bit of a hard time.

[judgemewhole]

"Yes, well, as one who wasn't forced to look into it ... I suppose I can say it with no irony whatsoever." He smirks at Cyril, arching an eyebrow. He sees what you're doing there.

[samahl]

"How did you manage that?" he asks. "Unless you just didn't bathe the entire time?" Still teasing.

[judgemewhole]

"Honestly, it was raining so much, I just stepped outside and washed off the dirt and grime that way." James shrugged, one corner of his mouth twisting. "With everyone being sick, there was no one on the ramparts to see me wandering about with a bar of soap."

[samahl]

"Well, suddenly I'm depressed that I missed that," Cyril teased a bit. He's only lightly flirting, that isn't as weird as it could be, right?

[judgemewhole]

Only a little weird, but James is smirking despite all that. "You flatter me, Cyril, as always."

[samahl]

"I try, at least," he responds, offering James a small smile. "You're worth flattering."

[judgemewhole]

"And you are worth flattering in turn." He dips his head in a bow, "Most charming water bearer I have ever seen."

[samahl]

Cyril grins at the compliment. "I should let you get back to work, shouldn't I?" he asks, though he seems to prefer the idea of standing around and flirting all day.

[judgemewhole]

"You should ... but we'll speak again soon, I hope?" James crooks a grin at him. "Friends usually do."

[samahl]

"Yes we do," he picks up the bucket he's lugging around. "Have a good day, James." And with that he leaves James and his men, though he does manages to make a cute kissy face at some of the ones who made the most ruckus.
