If you hadn't heard, Monsun is apparently disappearing soon. If anyone has time, I could use help moving the last few supplies off to the islets. There's also the tent to be taken down and moved - we should be able to carry individual pieces through the mana pool and set it up on the islets, but it's too much of a job for the few of us who remain at camp.

Finally, I might need some assistance getting Ardyn off the island when we get a little closer to time.

[Feel free to also use this as a jumping-off point for action responses involving tearing down said tent and moving everything. Eventually, said giant tent will be re-erected on the islets, but right now the focus is on moving stuff. Asch isn't likely to really stick around to scribble on the rock, he's got too much to do.]

[Action - Monsun]

It wasn't exactly hard to find the blonde around the tent considering he spent most of his time there. He was resistant to the move, wanting to find some way to stay, but he could only fight it so long. Excessively forlorn, he set out moving his bed and other items he had wished for first, before going back to offer some assistance taking down the rest.

It was a big tent. Moving some of the rods and smaller pieces hadn't been a big problem, but as they approached the end of the task he realized it was going to be quite difficult to move the giant piece of fabric that made it a tent in the first place. Being that size, it was surprisingly heavy, and far too big for one person to carry. He helped fold it up as much as possible, pausing to look down at it and glance to the person next to him, "Soooo. What now?"

"Now we wish those birds were full grown, I think."

Asch folds his arms and looks down at the folded tent roof. He already separated off as many of the flaps as he could, but... "Honestly, I think moving it is going to be the easier part. It's getting it back up that I'm dreading."

"Heh. Kinda wish we had the big guy around right now."

Gladio had always handled the majority of the tent stuff.

Okay. All the tent stuff. Noctis and Prompto tended to be a bit on the useless side during camp.

"Think it's mostly just gonna be an awkward weight." He stepped over to one of the sides, looking it over before bending down to try and pick it up. "We don't want to drag it all over the ground."

And, like a piece of furniture, it was a little challenging to grab it all at once. His mind went back to his snowmobile for a moment, wishing he had it working, before that drew him to another idea. "Oh, hey, think there's anything with wheels we can plop it on?"

[bloodyashes]

"Not that I've seen. Only vehicle of any sort I think is that boat." Which obviously won't help them much in the middle of the desert.

Asch moves to grab the other side of the awkward chunk of canvas and other fabrics. Prompto will feel his share of the weight diminish quite a bit - Asch is stronger than he looks. "I don't think a little dragging will ruin it, but we should keep it to a minimum."

Prompto looked behind himself as he walked it backwards on his side.

"Just gotta keep going and eventually we'll get there, right?"

The steps were a bit awkward as he carefully tried to avoid tripping over anything. They just needed to get it over to the mana pool - which was thankfully close considering they built the tent right there.

"...You're right, though. Not sure how we'll get it back up again, considering how big it was. We might need to get creative."

[bloodyashes]

"Should be able to pull it over the frame if Muffet lends a few ropes."

Of course, that involves getting the frame up first. Prompto's steps may be awkward, but Asch is sure and steady, even though he's the one walking backwards with the tent. Slow, but certain - he seems to have a way of using the back of his heel to feel out the steps behind him before putting his weight down.

[want_to_belong]

"That's true. We've got Muffet."

And other not-quite-human people. It was still kind of weird to think of.

His foot stopped in front of the mana pool and he shifted to carefully turn around and bring it over the pool.

"Maybe we can use ropes and stuff to help hold it up until we've got it stable enough. Or we could pile stones around each pole to hold them straight while we get the others up..."
