RE: build me up, buttercup - Wessex - 05-14-2022
Grinning at the Remedy’s ever-present thoughtfulness, Wessex nods and continues on her way down the steps.[say] Just a couple of ROUS’s. Everything should be clear up to that landing, but can’t say for anything above it.[/say]
After depositing the arcasses outside, Wessex ventures in one more time to see if she can clear any excessively large rubble from lower levels. It seems like a lifetime ago when she fought Jigano to open this portal, and for a moment the Wraith is taken back to the night she Ascended to demigodhood. That damn Snake Guardian, the summoned Frost Giant, and eventually, the momen the Voice stepped in to bitchslap the Sage. More or less.
And the truth is that she’d never turned her eyes to the walls, despite using this portal fairly often. Really, the whole Spire should be given a once-over now that they’re in peace’s waning months. Maybe that’s a project for herself and Nikolai
[say] Nikolai, we should find some time in the future to look the rest of the Spire over for anything to be translated,[/say] she offers casually to her brother, before grabbing something big and trying to carry it out.
------------------
Wessex goes to try and remove any last minute big rubble pieces from the basement and tells Nikolai they should do a complete scan of the Spire... at some point.
RE: build me up, buttercup - Nikolai - 05-15-2022
Nikolai is glad to be rid of the rodents. Something out their tails were just unnerving to the Ascended. Probably because they looked like intestines to him. He really needs to stop reading those horror books.
Shaking his head to clear it of disturbing thoughts, Nikolai joins Wessex in clearing rubble. Glancing at the Spire he notes the progress they've made. It doesn't feel like a ton in his opinion. But it's still progress. Plus, it'll be easier to delve deeper now that this path is clearer for foot traffic.
Nikolai perks up at Wessex's offer, giving an eager nod. [say]"I'd love that."[/say] He didn't get many opportunities to use his favorite upgrade, and he was sure that the Spire held more secrets than they could imagine.

Nikolai helps move rubble and agrees with Wessex about coming back later. [/say]
RE: build me up, buttercup - Maea - 05-15-2022
Pleased with the relative progress they had made, Maea made a point of going over both the walkway and the railings one more time, just to make sure that everything was drying properly, looked safe and nothing had been forgotten.
After making a final round, she began to help the volunteers clear out the remnants of the labor. Saw dust, mortar and other debris was cleared up and brought outside, along with any leftover materials. It would probably remain nearby for another time.
RE: build me up, buttercup - Darkeye - 05-15-2022
Darkeye looks at his work and is satisfied that as soon as his workshop is finished, he will put lanterns in this place to light up the room.
He also went downstairs to look at the stability from below and if he was sure that everything would hold, he would add a few more support beams and columns. He took measurements and drew everything again to get to work later. It was important that the stability of the tower is guaranteed and he would do this as soon as he had time on each floor. But one step after another.
RE: build me up, buttercup - Isla - 05-15-2022
More than satisfied with the work that the group has put in, Isla smiles as she gazes over the (much more stable looking) ground floor of the Spire. [say]If only a few ROUS were all we ever had to worry about,[/say] she remarks to
[say]"Oh, that's very thoughtful,"[/say] she says to
RE: build me up, buttercup - Chaele - 05-16-2022
Chaele investigates the basement in the faint lantern light, reading the dwindling wreckage as if it were the pages of a book that is going to burn. Surely the story of the Spire can be told by those who had witnessed its near destruction, but there is something honest, something unbiased about the scene itself that eventually satisfies her naive examination of it. Once she has made her rounds, she retrieves her smudge sticks and begin on the task of purification.
[say]"I call the east wind, that renewed purpose may one day return to this place."[/say] She nods in passive gratitude to Wessex and Nikolai as the smoke drifts after their labor. [Say]"I call the south wind, that prosperity and cheer may find it. I call the west wind, that the history of this place may not be forgotten." [/say]She makes room for Darkeye to check the beams as fresh embers catch on the swaying sage.[say] "And I call the north wind, that it stand in strength for years to come."[/say]
RE: build me up, buttercup - Isla - 05-16-2022
Isla stands by as
[say]"Thank you,"[/say] she says again to Chaele, turning at last to make her way outside as well. [say]"Hopefully your blessings hold true, and the Spire starts to become a place to be proud of."[/say] It's a long road ahead, but they have made a start. That's the hardest part, so she's heard.

Thanks everyone! This PQ+ is now over! <3
