[HUB ISLAND | MANSION CLEANING]

[spellbindmods]

Who: Coven members
Where: The Hub Island (the mansion, beach huts, etc)
When: Day 83
Open/Closed: Open to All

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!

(just pretend jude helped, okay)

[ thanks to velvet and the others, jude's already had more than his fill of boar, so here he is.

it seems like ages since jude saw the stars. sure, he could see them just fine in rieze maxia, especially fennmont, but even that seems like so long ago, regardless of the fact that he's only been here for a couple of months. he took those stars for granted.

so jude is letting the sand tickle his bare feet while he sits on the beach with his knees drawn to his chest, arms wrapped around them as he tips his head back to stare up at the sky. he can't claim to know much about stars — he can't pick out and name constellations, things like that — but they're still pretty, and he's always found the stars comforting. no matter where he is, no matter how far from where he wants to be, those stars are always hanging in the same sky.

that means these stars just might be dotting the skies in rieze maxia and elympios, too, and that gives jude a great deal of comfort.

he's relaxed, at peace, but a little company is always welcome, whether it's from a friend or a total stranger. do you want to join him? just be warned: there are dark clouds beginning to roll in. that isn't enough incentive to move him just yet, though. ]

Nice, aren't they?

just toss something here, or feel free to contact me to plot something out!

[Moon took one look at the state of the bathhouse and figured--well, someone's gotta do it.]

D1
[Moving water isn't too difficult for Moon, at least. She figures the best way to get started is to get rid of all this pond scum, and the best way to do that is to take it out in large arcs of water that shoot through the air and out of the door. Razzle sits a safe distance from the water with Cyan--Moon's adopted Lynas Palai--who giggles and reaches up each time the water flies through the air.

So, eager to entertain the child, maybe Moon gets a little careless about checking that no one's near the bathhouse door. Hope you don't mind getting a face full of pond scum.]

D2
[The water's cleaned out! Now the hard part--scrubbing the bathhouse. Moon can't think of a better way to do it than to get as much soap as she can find, a bunch of rags, and using some elbow grease. Most of Moon's Pokemon are helping out, too (Nebby is too big, and Ariri can't grasp with her flippers, so they're in their Pokeballs), though Razzle is spending more time making sure Cyan, who is more playing with a rag than actually helping, doesn't try to eat the soap bubbles.

Lyro is closest to the door. And if you happen to step in? Well, you're getting soap and a rag shoved at you by a three foot tall wolf monster. You help too!]

D3 - Telepathy
[Of course, Moon has no idea how to fix the heating. But someone must, right?] Hey, does anyone know how to fix a--a big water heater?

[Cagliostro is about as well-suited towards physical labor as one might expect from her appearance, but even things like housework and cleaning are both below her interest and her dignity. So acting as one befitting her age and status, she's hiding in one of the bedrooms that's already been cleaned. She's not being completely useless though, as she'd stashed away more than a few Eltos bones to experiment with. Sitting on the bed, arranging and rearranging the sparking, electric structures as the sunlight filters in through the window in a dusty beam on her golden hair, she might seem adorably idyllic...]

Shit! Having to use my bare hands for this... still, interesting...

[...until she gets her fingers zapped and opens her mouth.]


[B2]

[Someone apparently found her slacking off, because now Cagliostro is standing out in a hall wearing an apron and... a maid headdress? She's also holding a bucket and mop and looks like she either doesn't know what to do with them or has no intention of doing anything with them. Instead of actually mopping she's just... poking the floor with the other end of the mop sullenly.]


[F]

...and this is our reward? [More tired than she's been since, well, since someone literally tried to poison and kill her, Cagliostro does not look impressed by the meal being set in front of them. She cringes a bit even as she's handed a plate piled high with steaming, roast meat.] Boar... now there's something I haven't had to eat in centuries...
