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.

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.

[piercetheheart]

Can't trust that Umui's going to be around for long. Gotta stick with Enso. Me an Prom can scout out some places and get back with you, Keith.

Hell gotta finish the roof at the workshop before we start another project. Working on the temple will be a slow thing I think... just bits of changes here and there. Been like that for ages so I don't wanna do too much and weird them out or anything.

[thermalwind]

Right. And yeah Umui might not be around much longer. I wanted to get more of the ore before it goes away. Supposedly it’s self sustaining. We found a report on it before I got sent back home and came back.

Anyway, maybe ask them what they want fixed? Get them involved with it.

The Northern lighthouse, on Enso's East coast? I've been converting it into a workshop. There's tons of supplies there, Legion's been busy. It's a good space to store materials so you don't have to put everything in your house, if you wanna use it.

I did ask them and they said the resources could be better used elsewhere... So we bickered for a bit and I pretty much told them to bugger off, I'm going to fix things up a bit for them and they can just deal with it.

[thermalwind]

Thanks, I'll probably drop in and move what I salvage ore and metal wise there. Makes no sense to store here when it's meant for everyone to use.

...do you know how to build a forge?

[piercetheheart]

Already got one in the works. And I do have a kiln already built up there too so it you're trying to do something with bigger pieces I can show you how to get her going.

[thermalwind]

...mind if I help you work on that? I mean in exchange for showing me how to get the kiln going.

[piercetheheart]

I will happily teach anyone that wants to learn. The more people that know how to do this kind of shit, the more I can focus on some of the bigger projects that others can't do.

[thermalwind]

Well, I'll learn all I can. I can do some things myself but we'll see what part of my skill set is useful for this.

[piercetheheart]

Most useful skill you can have for this kind of thing is stamina, really. Doesn't take a lot of know how for the basics but it's a lot of long repetitive labor.
