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.

--Did she now?

I suppose it might behoove us to figure out who has the power to do such a thing. And why we weren't consulted for making a deal.

[ That does all sound very suspicious, especially since it wasn't Robin's fault that the ferry was sunk, and she hadn't told him or Bucky or Crowley about any of it.

Well, that or the two of them were keeping secrets. ]

[reigniter]

I am not sure. I don't think we have power to do anything from here. She has all the "technology", to run this place.

[He's quiet for a moment- Ignis usually doesn't express his thoughts about Robin, especially after their fight on network months ago, but this doesn't sit well with him.]

I have a feeling she is hiding a lot from us than what she says.

[And that's only going to come back and bite her when she ends up needing help and they find out she's been lying to them all along.]

[lunchbreaks]

Yes. I'm sure she is.

[ He relays none of this to Crowley, who already expressed plans to fly up there and give her a piece of his mind.

Aziraphale managed to talk him out of it because he thinks it's a suicide mission. ]

Rather suspect, I think, requiring so much of us but withholding all relevant information.

Suppose it'd be hard for me to get her to entrust me with any new knowledge.

[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]

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.

[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.

[lunchbreaks]

Do they... do that? Hibernate?

[ He honestly has no idea if spirits do or do not do this, he's not trying to play dumb. ]

That's fascinating.

I wonder what else they do...

[reigniter]

[Ignis doesn't know either, it is just a speculation.]

I wish they would so that we have a peaceful winter.

[But that's a pipe dream. He stopped expecting good things from this place.]

[lunchbreaks]

Oh, I don't know that. They're mostly harmless. Some of them are actively helpful!
