I'd burn my house down just to hear them scream my name
The canal repairs go decently for Kai, with the water-magic soldiers holding back the flow while the others patch the cracked edges and weakened spots with the remaining cement. Unfortunately, the co-eds from earlier notice the canal work and wander closer with bright, unhelpful smiles, asking when they can use the water again because they’re so overheated and need somewhere to cool off. The soldiers who had just barely recovered a sense of discipline immediately begin losing it again, because apparently wet cement is no match for suggestive beach commentary.
Meanwhile, the glass installation starts smoothly, with Flora lifting while Kiada guides and Danta handles the higher installation points. That confidence lasts right up until a sudden gust of sea wind slams against the large pane, catching the glass like a sail and nearly throwing the three of them off balance. Flora’s boots skid in the sand, her fingers tightening against the frame as her ponytail whips across her shoulder, but nothing cracks, nothing drops, and the glass stays miraculously whole. When Danta suggests a shattered-glass effect, Flora shoots him a playfully withering look over the edge of the panel.
Despite the wind and the ominous flirtation with disaster, the sea-facing glass wall is installed without issue, and more importantly, without a single crack.
A food-truckwagon rolls up not long after, smelling of grilled fish, lime, spice, and warm tortillas, and suddenly the worksite becomes significantly more enthusiastic about taking a break. Beach tacos are passed around, soldiers, guild members and helpers alike finding places to sit among the supplies, the half-built bones of the new bar briefly feeling more like a gathering than a job.
By the time lunch winds down, the artisans from the Gilded Market have erected the remainder of the pre-built walls, and the shape of the bar has changed almost impossibly fast from foundation and frame into something that can actually be stepped inside. Flora walks in beneath the newly raised structure, glancing around at the unfinished interior with bright, restless satisfaction before clapping her hands once. "Okay, next up: chairs and tables, glassware for the bar, checking hardware for the windows and doors, and lighting!"
Lunch break, then pick your tasks!
1. Chairs/tables need to be assembled and brought inside
2. Glassware needs to be carefully brought in and unpacked
3. Hardware for the doors/windows needs to be checked
4. Lighting needs to be installed!
