HOTARU
Hotaru rolls her eyes - perhaps a tad fondly - at Sunjata's remark. He's a delightful pain in her ass, and she appreciates the lightheartedness he inspires with his presence. They all work in tandem after they part, and Hotaru grits her teeth at the rotted wood she finds beneath the panels she's replacing. It's not exactly easy to replace, but it's not impossible. She cuts the rotted patches out by hand, replaces the wood beneath and affixes it to create a whole piece once more. After that it's simple enough for the panels to be replaced. Hotaru wanders back inside, and can't help but smirk at Sunjata where he's fixing the cupboards - suspiciously shirtless. But she leaves him to his work, moving to the other side of the room where the displays will be. The mannequins are busted up, and she has to re-staple the new burlap covering to it in order to pin her fabrics there. She begins her work, unaware of what's happening to the others.
Jigano's fire successfully tempers the furnace, but mama possum has come to find her babies, and he is far too close to where Sunjata placed them! She hisses angrily, long tail swiping at the ground, harmless but willing to put herself at risk of the heated stone if it means getting to her offspring.
Feet away, Deimos is successful in rehanging the door and eradicating the rot. Sunjata hangs the cabinet doors successfully as well. Hearing them milling about, Hotaru turns and calls out to them in the space that is quickly looking more and more like a decent shop. "Can you set up the cutting counter? It's against the back wall!" If they look they'll find a collection of cabinets arranged so that their hollow tops form a hexagonal shape, and a large slab of precut wood leans against it. It needs to have the burlap topping in a roll beside it attached on top, and then hauled into place and sealed there as an area for Hotaru to lay out and cut her pieces. Two strong men should be more than enough!
Round three! Deimos and Sunjata are both successful, now they can start one of the last tasks - setting up the cutting counter! Hotaru has repaired the front of the shop and begins fixing up the mannequins in the main sales area.
Jigano is successful, but uh oh, the possum babies Sunjata moved have attracted the mother. She needs to be appeased!
