karma's a relaxing thought, aren't you envious that for you it's not?
The mansion house rises proud and clean against the Ahi Coast, its walls new but stark, the rooms empty, echoing with potential. The tiki torches lining the sand flicker warmly as if celebrating the progress, and the scent of salt and fresh-cut lumber still lingers. Where there had once been chaos and crab battles, now stands the skeleton of Flora’s new home, waiting for life to fill it.
Flora, perched on the front steps in a swirl of gold jewelry and sunlit curls, claps her hands together the moment everyone has gathered. "Alright, round two!" she declares, her grin wide enough to match the horizon. "The house is built—thank you very much to the professionals who did it while we were all tanning and drinking cocktails—but now comes the fun part. Making it mine."
She hops up, bracelets chiming as she gestures to the first group.
Team Perimeter (Niki, Remi, Sunjata, Ronin)
"Niki—you’re in charge of the muscle squad," she says, wagging a finger with mock severity. "Remi, Ronin, Sunjata—you three are hauling crates. Furniture, linens, cookware, lamps, all the goodies. Niki has the inventory list, so each crate goes into its proper room and onto the right floor. This is not a free-for-all treasure hunt." Her aqua eyes glint mischievously. "If I find the kitchen cutlery in my bedroom, I’ll know who to blame."
Team Supplies (Danta, Asta)
Turning with a flourish, she sweeps a hand toward the pair of Ancients. "You two are on doors. Doorknobs, specifically to start." The knobs were all thrifted, antique, each one unique, so it would be up to the butcher and Maverick to decide what ought to go where. "Every door in this house needs to open with a little flair."
Team Walkthrough—now Team Pool (Flora, Sohalia, Mateo)
Finally, she slings an arm around Sohalia’s shoulders and nudges Mateo with her hip. "And weeeee, are in charge of the most important feature: the pool. Specifically, how we’re going to fill it with water from Torchline’s healing fountain. Buckets? A siphon? Do we just steal Sunjata and make him do it?"
