Not much has changed about the Hub Island since the first coven members ended up here, but there is an obvious unkemptness that's crept over the existing structures. Rains and winds have come and gone, flora and fauna have taken over some of the mansion and a few windows are broken. In short, despite activity levels being low, a lot needs to be done. First on the agenda is getting the mansion in working order -- there's also an incentive from Brie who doesn't want to do literally everything on her own. Helping with this task AND unloading the caravan means you get a boar roasted in your honor. Well, everyone gets one single boar roasted in their honor, but that's better than starving, right? A ▢ The first floor of the mansion is the one that's obviously been hit the hardest. The front doors are off their hinges, apparently battered down by a rather large boar (who can't be found, at the moment). The front hall needs to be swept out as it's now filled with leaves and climbing vines that have crept through cracks in windowsills. Two of the windows have also been broken, and fixing them might involve a little bit of brainstorming.
- Door fixing
- Sweeping and other cleaning busy work
- Window repair
B ▢ If your character is less inclined towards hard labor, there are a lot of individual rooms that could use some sprucing up. Some of the Palai blankets can be used to make the multiple bedrooms more presentable, but a thick layer of dust exists on almost everything. From the kitchen to the bathrooms, only slight plumbing work needs to be implemented in order to get the water running again...but your character can also hole up in a bedroom and pretend to fluff pillows if your character wants to slack off. If your character's got a source of electricity, wink wink, your character can also help to power the lights, kitchen appliances and other electrical things in the house.
- Plumbing repair
- Dusting
- Bedmaking
- Sweeping (or vaccuming, if your character can find a way to power one)
- Making the kitchen clean and functional
C ▢ The beach huts, on the other hand, are much less affected. While those pesky crabs that used to live in the bathhouse have fled into the wilderness, for the most part, some of them have taken up residence in these beach huts and aren't happy to see returning coven members back to claim their territory. In one beach hut, a boar has decided to have their babies there. If your character wants to clean out this particular home, beware that mom could come back at any moment for her piglets.
D ▢ If your character want to take on a true challenge, someone can find a way to start cleaning out the bathhouse. Your character may have a solution to the bigger problem of getting the heat back to the water, but the more pressing issue is the layer of pond scum covering everything. It's gross, but something should be done!
E ▢ There's a lot of things to be unloaded from the caravan and brought into the mansion after it's been cleaned out. From crates of shrimp to all of the supplies and gifts the Palai provided, someone with muscles needs to help with the heavy lifting! ...Or if your character has magic that can make this easier, they can of course use that.
F ▢ Later on that night Brie makes good on her promise of boar -- and it's that massive boar. It pays to have violent magic when it comes to hunting and gathering, although I'm sure someone's character could have helped with lugging the giant thing to the beach. For new coven members, unfamiliar with how boar meat is something of a meat to get used to, this meal could potentially make them ill. Either way, the work is somewhat done and it's time to relax under the stars...untill it starts raining, anyway.
G ▢ Wildcard!

[ jude swallows. ]
How did you know you liked Akira? As more than a friend?
no subject
When he seems to be ready to finally speak up, his gaze flicks away once again, making it obvious that he's hesitating. And then, Hibiki shakes his head energetically and finally murmurs: ]
I realized that when I yelled at him after he got hurt during the attack. Well, sometime after that, to be precise. [ So romantic. ] I'm not sure if I can provide a list of things that lead to that, though. But those were the small things. But why...?
no subject
No reason. Just curious.
[ jude is a horrible liar and it shows plain on his face. ]
no subject
He'd add something about handholding and his heart skipping a beat every now and then, but— ]
No reason? Are you sure?
no subject
[ jude buries his head in his hands. no, he's most definitely not sure. he's flushing just thinking about it. ]
Sorry. This is weird. Forget it.
no subject
[ These things, huh. ]
Before coming here I didn't even consider that I may have such...feelings.
[ He's a mess, but it doesn't take much to realize that so is Jude at the moment. ]
no subject
That's why I apologized...
[ a light sigh. ]
Tell me about it.
[ he's been confused about his feelings before, but not quite like this. ]
no subject
[ Hibiki just. Raises his brow, but doesn't comment on the first statement, focusing on the second one instead.
Which is a bit puzzling to him, for some reason. ]
About what? Not having any feelings?
no subject
[ he trails off, refusing to finish that sentence. jude is very much aware that he's made what his problem is pretty clear by now.
the only other romantic feelings he's ever had... well, they were pretty muddled, and a year later it's safe to say he's moved past them.
so he's just. very!!! confused!!! ]
no subject
[ WHAT A CRUEL MAN. Messing with Jude at a time like this!!! ]
I can't say much about being in...that state, but... [ That state of liking someone a bit more than a friend is what he means. And he can't really put it into words despite being in it, he's so hopeless. ] Maybe you could figure out how does it work. If you give yourself a chance.
no subject
Hibiki.
[ he's trying to have a heart to heart here???? ]
... Yeah, maybe. At the very least, I have a lot to think about. I'd might as well take my time.
no subject
[ He clears his throat as his turns his gaze away, seemingly flustered. ]
You...perhaps you should try asking Akira too, he seems to know a thing or two about how this works.
[ You've never been so wrong in your entire life, Hibiki. ]
no subject
[ jude gives the matter some serious thought. akira is around his age, too, after all, and if he really understands the logistics of it... ]
... You don't think he'd mind?
no subject
I don't think so. But you might want to prepare for his jokes beforehand, just saying.
[ That's probably a good advice. Probably. ]
no subject
He also said something about being a blushing maiden...
no subject
[ Says a guy who breaks into people's houses through a window. Makes sense. ]
A blushing maiden...interesting. Very interesting. [ A sinister chuckle. ] It doesn't even surprise me that you two are getting along.
no subject
[ jude can't help but wonder what adequate punishment even means. does he want to know? probably not. ]
Has anyone ever told you that you laugh like a supervillain?
no subject
[ True story. ]
You're the first person to tell me that. I'm flattered.
[ SHOULD HE BE, THOUGH ]
no subject
[ it wasn't meant to be an insult, but was it really a compliment? ]
