001) Home is Where the Heart Is

Who: Asura and anyone who wants to help with construction/landscaping. Or just want to watch a buff, half-dressed man do manual labor. No judgement.
Which: Open log, mingle post
Where: Out in the farmlands to the east of Reverein
What: Tree houses aren't for everyone, so Asura's building a house on the opposite side of town where it's quiet and he can raise his geese in relative peace. This log takes place over the span of about a week.
Warnings: Shouldn't be any.


Days 1-2
[Over the last few days, Asura has been collecting usable pieces of lumber and debris from around the city over to a small hill out in the farmlands, halfway between Reverein and the Wildlands. By now, the frame of a cabin has been erected--large enough to comfortably house two people.

Asura has stripped off the upper part of his robe while he works, using his Spiritual Entity's sharp edges to carefully chisel the beams so they'll fit together without nails (for there is a notable lack of iron in the city right now thanks to the redcaps). He'd intended to build the entire house on his own, but he won't turn down a helping hand or two. Or just someone to talk to while he works.]


Days 3-4
[Once the house is put together (or at least the walls, floor, and roof are), what comes next is that lotus pond Taishakuten wants. Asura's already dug out a large crater in the ground, but until it fills up with rainwater (or by some other means), it's not much more than just a big hole in the ground. The geese are already interested though, and can be seen wandering down into the crater in curiosity, or waddling around the rim and being a general nuisance to anyone whose name isn't 'Asura.']

Days 5-6
[The hole in the ground is now filled with water! Somehow. Whether it was rain or someone helped fill it up, the fact of the matter is that the crater is now a pond. As for planting the lotuses, this is something Asura will need some help with, because he's never actually grown them the correct way before.

Thankfully, the geese are safely locked up in the hutch so they won't bother anyone today.]


Wildcard/Catchall
[Catch Asura while he's taking a break from work, or if you have another scenario you'd like to play out with him, here's that option! Feel free to use this log to mingle during the construction as well.]

Fun fact, the technique being used here to build without nails is a real thing!)

Um, I wasn't exactly volunteering...

[Fret looks apprehensively over at the lumber -- it looks heavy. But, being the JRPG protagonist he is, he can't exactly say no without feeling bad either.

So without much further grumbling he heads over, and after a cursory examination, he drags out two pieces that look roughly the same, and waves over Asura.]


How about these?

[Fret was expecting to be asked to haul the logs over himself, so he breathes out a not-so-subtle sigh of relief when Asura takes them off his hands. Manual labour really isn't his strong suit.]

I was just curious to see what was out here. I didn't expect to find anyone wanting to set up a house all the way out here, though. Are towns not your thing?
