REXANNA
paint my spirit gold
She turned to Lily as the red head returned to the room they were cleaning with a frustrated look on her face, but still answered her question. A small laugh escaped Rexanna’s throat and she nodded in agreement. “I know the feeling!” She offered as she finished up the washing and walked with Lily toward the Tangleweed with a curious eye. But Lily’s question captured more of her curiosity as she nodded slowly – as if almost afraid to admit it. But before she had a chance to say anything, the weed shifts and moves, beginning to climb up the handle. “Oh shit.” She said as she, too, stumbled backwards with Lily and watched as the broom clattered to the floor.

After a moment, when she regains her heartbeat from out of her throat, she aims a hand at the little creatures attaching to the broom and shoots a small firework out at it, hoping the sparkler might be enough to possibly burn the small creatures and get them to run and hide. At least the bucket of water was still nearby, and she watched the creatures curiously to see if they remain or disperse. And just for an added good measure, she aimed another one at it and sent a medium sized one to zip toward the bundle of them.

Hopefully that does it…” She hummed, reaching for the bucket of water just in case.

Lily
It’s silly how such a little thing can spook two grown-ass women. But there they are, reacting like it was out to bite them. Maybe it was? In fact, she laughs immediately after the shriek, giving Bastien an unconscious go-ahead to take the water bucket, while she’s focused on the Tangleweek. Lily flounders for a moment, looking frantically around for something to shoo - or chase? - the creature out the door. Thank goodness for Rexanna! As the woman sends a little zap towards the weeds, Lily picks up a heavy wet rag and stands with her hands outstretched, doing a funny little foot-stamp, rag-flick gesture, which manages to herd the creatures out the door and towards…

The wood pile, which has now been successfully secluded and dissected by the actions of the various men. Lucas did well to move the other pile to the side, that wood is untouched. The flames are out, but not before damaging about a quarter of the previously very dry wood.

Lily stifles a little gasp. “Oh shit! What happened? Is everyone all right?” She rushes over to the pile to survey the damage and reaches a hand out to Lucas. He can handle his own around fire, but still... after a moment, she starts to calm down. “Well… I’m no expert, but I think we’ll still have enough. Shall we focus on the stage, then? If the ceiling’s been fixed, Remi?”

------------------------

Tangleweed is out of the building and the fire has been extinguished! Hole in the roof should be good to go too. Well done, guys. All that’s left is to build the stage. All hands on deck.

Lucas
clever as the devil and twice as pretty
Remarkably blase to say that the flames which had been licking around the woodpile would be very dangerous indeed, Lucas glanced around as the ladies joined them. Holding up a hand to Lily as if to reassure her that he was alright, the Ascended, surveyed the damage and wrinkled his nose at the sting of smoke; he registered it, even if it didn't hurt and he didn't need to breathe.

"Well," he said, grabbing up as much of the wood he'd managed to salvage as possible, "you heard the lady. Hop to it, gents." Giving Rexanna a purposeful nod as he stepped past and back into the building, Lucas would set out the wood into its various sizes and shapes, hoping they would find something that might fit together well for the stage.

i never had nobody and no road home
"Yes, it should be good." Remi replied, glancing over his shoulder towards where Lucas was grabbing various boards for the stage. Raising a slight brow at the cavaliarly-given order from the ascended, Remi bit back a response and followed.

Instead of grabbing the various boards, Remi used a combination of earthen magic and transmutation to create boards perfectly suited for the various sizes needed. Keeping his head down, Remi worked quickly and with hands that had done their fair share of fixing various things (wagons mostly, as a boy). Empowered now with magic though, it was far easier than he'd ever remembered it being. Still, the simple act of creation brought a sunny smile to his face.

REXANNA
paint my spirit gold
It was easy for Rexanna to react so sharply with her magic, a second nature of sorts. She turned to look at Lily right after firing the firework at the creature, grinning slightly at the little dance that the fiery haired woman did. Her eyes followed the trail of weed-like things as they scuttled out the door before she heard Lily’s gasp of alarm (or surprise?) and stepped closer to the woman to look out the door and check it out as well. Immediately, Lily’s gone and Rexanna’s gaze immediately goes toward Bastien with a raised eyebrow.

Luckily all seemed to be well as Lily began to mention that they should work on the stage now with all hands on deck, and she dips a bit further into the room to get ready for it. After a few moments, Rexanna waited for the rest of the group to join them and bring the building materials in when she noticed Lucas’ eye as he stepped past her. She exhaled slightly before turning to where the stage would go and grabbing a broom to clear away any of the rest of the debris away and made sure they had hammers and nails – ready to hand them away to whomever would be the one reinforcing them.

Though, she did take a moment to appreciate Remi’s quick wit and magic as he made perfect boards – giving him a wide grin.

BASTIEN
Bastien was quite happy to get back to work on the stage after the panic of the moment before. Stopping only to glare at Lucas for daring to nod at Rexanna, he began to pick up where he left off, nail the stage together and making sure the edges lined up with neat precision. He did not have any of Remi's fancy magic, but he had the ability to make things look pleasing, so he took his time to make sure the finishing on the stage was pristine and solid.

When he was done, the stage would have a rim all around the edge made of two delicately laid pieces of wood, flush to the main section. It gave the whole thing a look of being finished, and he was pleased with his work when he stood back.

Lily
While Lucas’s abrasive order would normally make her laugh, she notices some tension in the air and manages to keep her response to a diplomatic quirk at the edges of her lips. Instead, she turns to fetch a clean bucket of water and when she returns, pours everyone a drink. Offering a cup to everyone and insisting they take a break in turn, she pops in and to hold things in place, fetch nails, or provide a discerning eye.

Between Remi’s magic and Bastien’s knack for a fine finish, it isn’t too terribly long before the four of them have a reasonably clean, sturdy little platform. Grabbing for Rexanna’s hand, she invites the woman to jump on the boards with her - just to make sure they’ll hold. After a thorough test, the redhead claps her hands and turns to her helpers, eyes shining and a wide smile on her face.

“I think it’s done! Thank you all so much - it couldn’t have been done without you.” Moving to embrace each of them, no matter how sweaty they may be, she finishes with promise. “And you will all have a seat of honor when it officially opens.”

Which is when she will debut her new song. And invite the other performers amongst them to get up on stage as well.
