dock rebuild | ota / mingle

[lunchbreaks]

characters: Aziraphale, Crowley, Daylight, Eleven, Stone, Eliot and YOU
location: The docks
date/time: Early Nov through Nov 11th
content: A mingle log for rebuilding the docks and/or generally if you'd like to have your character help with a mini-project. Feel free to throw up your own TLs! I am also still on slowatus until the 6th but wanted to put this up with ample time before Sandman!
warnings: N/A. If you would like to handwave your involvement, please just lmk and I'll add you to a list or something so everyone can just assume your character was around

The wood, cut and planked, sits in a pile on the beach, covered in whatever tarp-like object can be found to keep it from getting wet. On the bright side, the ferry comes in when they finish gathering supplies for the dock - so they don't have to gather more, and they don't have to rebuild a ferry. Still, large trunks are prepared for weather and hammered into the water, and don't get much of a chance to stand alone before a small group of people descend on them to cobble together a little dock. Not as grand nor as finely-made as the previous one, it will be nonetheless sturdy and usable, with hopefully no further changes for the last two years it may need to exist.

[Jo remembers being a young girl and getting brushed aside when she could help. Being underestimated is frustrating.

She smiles and nods as she rearranges the board in her arms.]

That would be great. Grab an end.

Re: two

[knifecollecting]

[Jo isn't judging. He might be doing all he can. Everyone can help differently.]

I still wouldn't want to take your sandwich. They're pretty personal.

[Sitting back on their heels, the Soldier surveys the results. Today's work is more even.]

We still have a lot of work to do. But it will be good. And I won't crash anything into it this time.

[necromantiae]

Have you gotten anyone else's opinion?

( what did your friend, crowley, think aziraphale? )

Re: two

[lunchbreaks]

Are they?

I suppose if you don't like cucumbers, you won't like this one.

[lunchbreaks]

Trust me, dear, I won't let you.

[ He gets up and then reaches over to help Soldier stand back up. ]

[lunchbreaks]

[ He frowns and then after a long pause, makes a gesture. His hair turns a bright burnished copper. ]

See?

[necromantiae]

What's so wrong with that? I think it looks good.

( maybe not as good as what he usually wore but still good. )

You're good looking overall.

[mind_blown]

Yeah, but the only way to make something more predictable is to test it out, right?

[ he's continuing with the advice here. ]

Besides, if that's faster, well. More time for us to figure out actual plans, instead of rebuilding all the stuff we've broken.

[necromantiae]

Plans for what?

( did jason have something specific in mind or is this just in general? )

Got something you wanna do?

[lunchbreaks]

That's very sweet of you, Ambrose, but--

[ With another gesture, it's now long and purple. He looks ridiculous. ]

[mind_blown]

Plans for getting out of here. In general, don't get too excited.

But if I did plan something, it wouldn't involve stealing a boat I couldn't drive.

[necromantiae]

Plans for getting out of here?

( he frowns. )

To go where?

[necromantiae]

Now, that...is a look.

( ambrose snickers and shakes his head. )

You look like you belong at Woodstock.

[lunchbreaks]

What is Woodstock, is that a shop?

[ Another gesture, and he's got a flashy silver-black ombre mullet that looks like it's made of tinsel. ]

[necromantiae]

Woodstock was a big music festival back in the sixties. It was outdoor and fell of people with hair like that who just did a lot of drugs, had a lot of sex and listened to music.

( ambrose hadn't attended. )

Now, that's a mullet. That's amazing.

[reigniter]

[Good decision. And it is a suicide mission, Aziraphale is entirely correct.

They don't need to give her more reason to pull the switch on them. She may act friendly with them but she doesn't trust them and they are just another handful of people that arrived.]

She had been withholding knowledge from everyone, as far as I know. I think she doesn't trust us as at all.

[lunchbreaks]

[ He reminds himself that Ambrose means the 1960s. ]

Only the once?

I imagine you had a good time.

[ Another turn and now he has a very mod 60s haircut, big and round with a thick fringe. ]

[necromantiae]

Oh, I didn't go. I just heard about it.

( he'd been a little busy at the time. )

But, it was a pretty big thing. People still talk about it to this day and people have tried to put on variations of it but it's never been quite the same.

[lunchbreaks]

On the one hand, I'd say I couldn't blame her since she continually needs to reset all of us.

But on the other hand, we are the current shot she's got, and I don't think it will help much to keep us in the dark.

[ He heaves a long-suffering sigh. ]

If it's information she can't trust us with, I don't see how we are all going to make it out of this alive in two years' time.

[lunchbreaks]

I suppose it'd be hard to replicate here as there's a dearth of both music and drugs.

[ A beat. ]

Actually, I suppose we have zero for three.

[necromantiae]

But we have booze!

( which was something, right? )

I never was much into drugs, anyway. I tried them because I was young and dumb once but I realized they weren't much my thing pretty quickly. So, the lack of those here isn't too much of an issue. I do miss music though.

[lunchbreaks]

Well--! I had asked Rastus for a record player. I did last time as well, but it... it's at the bottom of the lake, unfortunately.

[reigniter]

We won't get anywhere if she doesn't tell us everything. And she will get nowhere if she keeps resetting people.

[Ignis wishes he could offer the man more support. He seems like a guy that truly means well.]

I am not sure either. I do hope that upcoming winter will make forest spirits calmer... hopefully, they will settle in for winter rest.

[onlyeverdoubted]

[No.]

Sure.

[He finally takes a sip. It's not anything like home, but it is definitely tea.]

It's nice to, um, have... s-something concrete to do.
