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!

If you don't have immunity to the rash illness that killed everyone a hundred or so years ago, you're at risk to be infected...and it turns you into something horrifying. Trolls and the like.
There are only select cities that are truly safe, since even if you're not immune you can still be killed by a troll or giant.
( It used to be the kind of information he knew but didn't really internalize -- he'd always been safe with no fear in his life. It hasn't been until recently and a few choice events that the true weight of his world has sunk in. )

[ jude... doesn't quite know how to respond to this information. it's a lot to take in; a lot to process all at once. but it must be much harder for emil. ]
That's... I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have pried so much. I can't imagine this is a particularly easy thing to discuss.

I love where I'm from, but it seems like for others it's a hard sell. Rightfully so, in a lot of ways. It also depends on where you live -- my hometown, for instance, is 100% safe and contamination rates have been next to nothing for years. But once you venture out into contaminated areas, it's more dangerous.
I'm immune anyway, so things like that aren't such a big concern to me. It's more an issue of something trying to kill you, but I'm in the military so I'm equipped to handle that -- err, most things, anyway.
