Still somewhat unsuccessful in her ventures, Amalia begins to grow mildly frustrated. It is anger born from anxiety and a hope she will not once again fail, and it manifests in the horns that begin to spiral from her forehead and the long, prehensile tail that sprouts from the base of her spine. Turning at last to actual cleaning, the Shield gathers up her books and takes them to Jigano before setting to work on the shelf and pallet. In her arms she gathers up the straw and decaying bedding; with her tail she takes a cloth with soapy water, scrubbing on the shelf and readying to move it outside. Amalia takes the books out, then picks up the pallet and starts wiping down the bookshelf with her tail. a m a l i a

Jigano’s faith in And the stains, of course. Those weren’t going anywhere without some serious scrubbing – or perhaps a nice rug over the top? The rodents were summarily ejected from the building and The window was immune to Ronin ‘s sweet words, giving him the cold, glassy shoulder as it refused to be wooed. As in most situations, a little lubrication would go a long way when forcing an opening failed, but lacking any suitable substance at the moment the Dark Star had to turn his full attention to finishing the initial cleaning of the room. When the dust finally settled (outside the open windows, thankfully) he’d be able to begin carrying his shelves out. ”Alright, that’s the last of them,” Jigano said, relieved to have finished the last of the book-carting (for real!) this time. ”Let’s pair up and start emptying these rooms of their shelves. The tables and a chair or two can probably stay, if they have any, but most of these shelves will require at least two people to lift and carry down to the place where the wall was repaired.” He grinned down the walkway at the demigod at the far end. ”Ronin, you’re already paired up. Hmm…” Looking at the others he thought quickly, trying to balance personalities with how strong each looked. In the end, he smiled ruefully to himself and nodded to Quanil. ”I’ll give you a hand with what’s in that dark room, and see what can be done about some of those tenants you mentioned.” After a lot of hard work, the rooms are finally clean. Great job, team! This round will work a little differently: there is no posting order, but the partners will be first come, first picked. The first person to respond will get to choose who their partner is and which room to start with. The person who is picked should reply to that post accordingly and get shifting shelves or other heavy objects that might be in the way. the Firebrand

loren With a little assistance from Jigano (whom the Launceleyn thanked profusely) Loren managed to clean the window. Despite his lingering annoyance over his mishap with the water earlier, he surveyed the room a bit proudly. When they were called out to the main area, and told to partner up, the healer glanced around at those who remained. There was an obvious choice for him. Smiling almost shyly, he stepped towards Loren partners with Sam to begin clearing the bookshelves out of room one. Never judge a book by its cover.

The revealed silver circle stole Quanil's breath for a moment, but they, with effort, shoved past it. There was work to do, after all, and they wanted to get it done, for lots of reasons. Once they had finished, they stood outside their room and waited.
When the provost decided to come partner with them - well, not partner with them, not that way, Freina'd said he already had a partner and Provost Jigano Silversmith would never do something so dishonorable as to cheat on a partner! - they nodded and smiled and practically dove back into the room to grab for the first bookshelf. They almost, almost offered to be the one to go backwards down the stairs, but a moment's thought revealed the impracticality of such a suggestion. The guild master was not only stronger, he knew the stair placement, could move backwards down them... well, not easily with a large bookshelf, but easier. To make up for that, Quanil did their level best to bear as much weight as they could manage otherwise. They also scooted the bookshelves out away from the walls a bit, to make them easier for both of them to pick up and also, hopefully, to discourage the skittering critters. Skitters? Skritters? The unwelcome guests. the Archangel

Amalia she wants the silence but fears the solitude
she wants to be alone and together with you
At least she's somewhat successful this time. The room rather clear, Amalia comes out to listen to the next set of instructions, nodding with Jigano. Pairing off and moving shelves.. A glance around gives her no clarity on who to work with, but as others pair off the choice is made for her. Nodding toward the man she doesn't know, the Shield extends a hand. "I'm Amalia. Guess we're working together. Where do you want to start?" She'll follow him into the selected space, gripping a bookshelf and waiting for him to help her lift. Ama pairs with Rance and lets him pick the room she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see she saw that the lighthouse had been washed out to sea

Dusty and a little frustrated with the window, Ronin arrived back out into the hallway just in time for Jigano to address them. He raised an eyebrow as he was singled out as already having a partner, wanting to snip out yes but he's an asshole before thinking better of it. Still, as everyone partnered up and got instantly to work, the Dark Star was left with little ole him to get it all done.
Given that he spent the majority of his time alone these days anyway if not for Remi, it was hardly a task he wasn't used to. Heading back into the room, he summoned his projection again and got to work, lifting the shelves and carting them down to where indicated. Ronin and his projection cart the bookshelves out of Room 6 where he started to the indicated place.

Dusty and sort of wishing he’d just eaten killed the mice, Rance was still a little irritated when Jigano announced the next step in the cleaning process. At least he wouldn’t have to move the furniture alone, he mused, though he’d been perfectly prepared to. He looked curiously at Ronin and his doppleganger, wondering if that could really be called ‘pairing up’, but before he could consider offering his help, the sole woman in their group approached, offering her hand. Rance arched a brow high at the horns that stood above her head, but said nothing as he grasped her hand. “Rance, and I guess so. We can do your room first, it’ll be easier to keep out of everyone’s way.” Turned out he’d made the right choice, as her assigned room didn’t seem to have much actual furniture in it other than a shelf and a broken metal contraption of some sort. He had to duck his head to keep from clocking himself on the low end of the domed ceiling, but otherwise it seemed simple to take the other side of the bookshelf and lift so that they could carry it out. Rance and Amalia head to Room 4 and work together to carry the shelf out of the room. the Sage

Ronin had the most work ahead of him – both of him – and the most chance of disaster, for there were six shelves to shift. Luckily for him he was both strong and dexterous; there was a sense that had he been less so, things might not have gone as well as they did. A stumble towards the bottom of the stairs resulted in one shelf cracking under its own weight and rusted nails that snapped one after another, but the other five made it down, most without even a scratch to show they had ever been elsewhere. As they finished placing the last of the shelves Jigano grinned brightly around at all of them. As he noted the dirt, the smudges, the bits of moldy books, the straw in hair, and everything else his grin turned a bit rueful. ”Thank you so much for all of your help so far. The last item on today’s agenda is moving some basic furniture in. I called in some Guild favors to have some simple pieces made; they’re in the cart outside. Every room should have a bed, a desk, a chair, and a chest for clothes and belongings.” He nodded to Quanil with a smile. ”Thanks to Freina we also have bedsheets and curtains. If you’d like to change rooms, now is the time, or you can stick with what you’ve been working so hard on. I’m going to see about getting some oil for those lamps,” he added with a nod for the Mystic Room’s lighting problem. Almost done! List of tasks for this round: Move beds (and tables, where necessary) into the rooms – two people Move the chests into each room – one person Move chairs into the rooms that need them – one person Make the beds after they’ve been put into position – one person Hang curtains – one person No posting order, though the person making beds should wait for the people carrying them in to post first. the Firebrand

"Were they new?" Although the healer wasn't going to give up in the middle of the task, if the other man was worried the Launceleyn would take a look when they were done here. Apart from the last part, where the bookshelves broke down in their hands, Sam and Loren's efforts went quite well. Grinning at the bookmaker, the healer brushed the debris off himself as best he could. "Wanna tackle the beds and tables with me too?" There was something almost shy about the way he asked. Regardless of the redhead's response, the Launceleyn would make his way over to the cart. When a second person joined him, he would do his best to help transport the beds and tables up the stairs and into each bedroom. Although his arms already burned a bit from the strain of the bookshelves, he was surprisingly strong these days. Apparently eating regularly and not descending into self-destructive spirals was good for his health. Who knew? Loren helps transport the beds and tables into the rooms.

Amalia and her companion are surprisingly successful at moving the furniture from the room, finishing swiftly and with little difficulty. Wiping her hands on her breeches, she is about to gather a chair when something she heard Sam say suddenly clicks in her brain. Turning abruptly on her heel, the Shield fixes her brother with a look of surprised alarm. "Did you say bloodstains?" she asks incredulously, wondering why nobody else seemed the least bi phased. "Where? Were they fresh? Show me." She's still carrying a wooden chair, but that seems suddenly much less important. Ama overhears Sam talking about bloodstains while moving her first chair and is totally derailed. she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see she saw that the lighthouse had been washed out to sea Age: 24 | Height: 5'7" | Race: Accepted | Nationality: Natural | Citizenship: Hollowed Grounds Level: 2 - Strg: 15 - Dext: 14 - Endr: 20 - Luck: 10 - Int:

Quanil brightened. "Freina made the curtains and sheets?!" Hearing that, how could they resist going to see them?
The sheets were all of a type, simple, undyed linens nicely hemmed and edged. But the curtains had been dyed different colors, and they each had different patterns along the bottom edges, resist-dyed geometric shapes and patterns. Quanil was so proud of their sister for helping their guild, but they were lollygagging, and so they sheepishly began picking up the curtains to go hang them. This also provided them a good chance to see the other rooms, since the room they'd been working on didn't have a window. They got a bit fussy with it, honestly, trying to decide which hue and pattern best reflected each room (really, it was just an excuse to marvel at Freina's handiwork that she had provided to the guild). It was going to be difficult to choose a room, though they were inclined to let more senior Loreseekers have first choice. Quanil's hanging curtains!!

Clearing the two rooms turned out to be pretty straight forward, they’d seemingly gotten the two rooms with the least amount of furniture. The cleaning job wasn’t perfect, but the new occupants themselves could take care of that if they weren’t happy. Cleaning wasn’t exactly his strong suit. Conversely, helping to carry heavy loads in most certainly was. The talk of bloodstains had Rance’s brows rising, but he didn’t let him distract him too badly. As Amalia and Samuel picked up chairs and chests, and Quanil scurried by with curtains, Rance glanced at what was left and took the other end of whatever the unintentionally abandoned HA! Loren was carrying. On one pass, Rance peaked into the room in question and commented, “Can’t be too fresh, the Guild’s been here a while, right?” Helps Loren with the tables and chairs! | ||
