istones: 8.26

[piercetheheart]

Hey guys, 's Gladio. Got some new gear that'll make construction easier. And a rain barrel so we can haul a much larger quantity of river water over from Enso. Planning to set up another shower and water filter on the little islands, votes on which one?

And while I've got your attention I wanted to see who'd be up for helping me fix up the temple some. Tory -erm I mean The Storyteller's- been busting their butt looking after us, only feels right we should do something for them. Maybe... trying to make friends with them too, guys. They kinda think we all hate them.

I can't imagine why. It's hardly as if they keep pushing us into terrible situations with no indication of what we may encounter, or as though they're maddeningly vague about their origins, intent, and just about everything regarding this world and the things in it.

...Oh, goodness. Why, I'm mistaken. That's exactly what's happening.

[piercetheheart]

[The wonderful thing about snarking over crystals is that he can take a moment to quell his rage before responding.]

And it's not like you've got supremely unrealistic expectations or anything.

Why don't you know everything about this world already?

[scourgingstars]

Expectations or not, I fail to see where I'm being proven wrong. And as to your question itself, I haven't spent two thousand years on this one. Even so, I should think I know enough. More than you, no doubt.

[want_to_belong]

You should build it wherever the most girls are staying! Girls should get to have showers!

[Oh man, the Storyteller... Prompto had his suspicions, but he knew it wasn't good to voice them too much. Who knew who would be listening? And it was best not to randomly anger gods.]

[piercetheheart]

Prom, you know damn well anyone's welcome to use the one we've got I just want the other to be more accessible...

Maybe on the other mana pool islet? I mean everyone has to come or go by pool eventually so it'd be on the way, y'know?

[want_to_belong]

Whatever is most convenient for them! Girls shouldn't have to walk really far from home to take a shower...

[He's doing his best to be chivalrous here, Gladio.]

I guess the mana pool might make sense... Maybe we need to make a whole bath house area at some point. You know, so people have a place to change and everything!

[not.....here]

[thegoofball]

[He can't actually reply, but if anyone doesn't vote for the third islet you're dead to him.]

[crosslaced]

[rip]

[thegoofball]

[how could you]

[thermalwind]

Count me in on both projects.

...

Not sure which islet would be best for a shower. I guess where ever makes the most sense with how we're spread out.

[piercetheheart]

Prom had the genius idea of building a bathhouse so we might hold off on the shower... but thanks. I appreciate the help.

You're one of Lance's friends, yeah? [You sound familiar from some of the Umui broadcasts.]

[thermalwind]

Yeah. I'm Keith, his team leader. [His voice is shades deeper from the old broadcasts before.]

A bathhouse sounds like a good idea. You've got my help, either way. Just let me know when and where to be. I've been scouting out the mining site we found on Umui.

[crosslaced]

I remember there being five islets all connected in a ring. If we want to be efficient, go in a random direction- skip the adjacent islets to yours and pick somewhere a good enough distance off.

[he means either islets #4 or #5 on the Housing page. sorry Lance.

no word at all regarding our dear Tory.]

[piercetheheart]

[He's already fighting with Ardyn about Tory, probably best not to get him ramped up again.]

Yeah and there's another mana pool too so I was thinking maybe that'd be a good spot. Not too far out of the way for everyone.

[proficienciesouttheass]

Yeah, hi? You said something about stuff for construction?

[ He isn't even super sure how he feels about the Storyteller, so he won't say much about that. But construction is something he can do, and he definitely needs something to keep his hands and his mind busy after last week.]

[piercetheheart]

I... don't think I recognize your voice. Who're you, dude?

But yeah construction~ got a few different projects in the works.

[proficienciesouttheass]

Magnus. Magnus Burnsides. [ You can practically hear the chest puff.]

Oh yeah? Me too! Whatcha got?

[journalname]

Oh - golly, the poor Storyteller. I would happy to help.

[Although that...seems to be an unpopular opinion? Asgore has nothing against the little god himself, and he's sorry to hear they feel that way.]

[piercetheheart]

[Have an audible sigh of relief. Gods, thank you Asgore.]

Yeah? I don't wanna do too much without their input but at least neatening up the walls and maybe seeing about a roof over part of it. I want to leave it open enough to let that big tree and some of the flowers to keep getting sun and everything but having a little more shelter from the elements might be nice.

[journalname]

[He nods thoughtfully, kinda forgetting that this is not a visual medium.]

It would be best to leave those uncovered, but there are many other types of flowers who would prefer the shade. A roof would not hinder their ability to have more plants later, if they liked.

[postictal]

If you need any extra hands, I'm there.

[Ha ha, Tim's fine, he's absolutely fine and so relieved that he can talk normally again and nothing is wrong.]

[piercetheheart]

TIM!!

Where the hell've you been, dude?

[postictal]

Poking around on Umui, mostly.

[By which he means looting his own dead body, and then camping out in abandoned buildings so that he doesn't have to deal with anyone looking at him.]

[wisdomspring]

I would love to help in the temple, if you still need it. [ Zelda perks up, looking excited at the possibility. ] What did you have in mind?

[piercetheheart]

Yeah? [He's trying not to make too many assumptions by voice alone but he does wonder if this girl has any idea what she's getting into.]

Just wanna fix up some of the walls, give Tory some space with an intact roof, that sorta thing.
