and yes i've been changing. for me, not for you
Slowly, to Oliver's surprise, people began to arrive. The first is the one that really caught him off guard: a fae. Oliver had expected to see some familiar faces, obviously, so already it was a surprise to see a complete stranger, but a fae of all people? Now that really caught Oliver off guard. Then she had an... unusual request. Now, if it had been any other god, Oliver probably would've been reluctant, but the fact that she had named Safrin? Well... Oliver just had to believe that she was being honest and that he wasn't about to die. "Sure, one second," Safrin wouldn't hurt him.... right? Yeah. Totally. Reaching into his boot, Oliver pulled out a blade and carefully cut off a small piece of his hair from the top, one that wouldn't really be noted. Holding out the hair he raised his eyebrows at her. "I sure hope this is suitable enough for you."
Then, he was happy to see a very familiar face. "Thank you for coming, Aisha. I hope you've been able to settle in well." He said with a waggle of his eyebrows, clearly joking around and poking fun at the fact that he's been housing her for the last days and cooking and cleaning and- you get the just.
Once more, an unfamiliar face came forward and Oliver offered her a soft smile. "Welcome, thank you for coming. I'm Oliver and you are?" This one seemed quiet, but he did at least want a name to call her. So far he had an unnamed fae, Aisha, and an unnamed girl.
And what another surprise. Someone he knew, yet, but someone he absolutely didn't expect. This was a bit too obvious as Oliver eyes were wide with raised eyebrows. "Oh, Sam. Thank you so much for coming." He quickly caught himself and showed his appreciation. Well, looks like he'd be able to make great progress with such a group.
Taking a step back, Oliver smiled at the group that had formed and started his very obviously planned speech. "Thank you so much for coming. I am Oliver and I am trying to set up a blacksmith shop. Right now, there is clearly a lot of work to be done and I can assure you, I will be repaying you for your hard time with something. I can provide food, art, or whatever I produce through this shop. If none of those are suitable, let me know and we can make a deal." The fae already got what she wanted so perfect.
"I have a few tasks. I plan to be working on making the forge and I will need one person to help me out with that. Then, another one of you will need to start working on putting up some shelves in here. There is a lot of wood outside. I have marked the spots with blue paint, so just put the shelves there. Next, I will need someone to work outside. You will need to help me freshen the place up. Get some fresh paint on the outside and pull some of the weeds for me. Finally, I will need someone to help me out with the basement. Unfortunately, the door wont open so you will first need to pull it open. Next, just help me out by cleaning up down there and seeing whatever the hell is down there." Once he was finished, he let out a soft sigh and regained his breath. Time to see what everyone would choose.
Thank you all so much!
Now, we have 4 tasks for you to pick from!
Help Oliver build the forge
Put up some shelves inside
Clean up the outside (Please don't force Sam to do that... please)
And finally: Go downstairs! Just, ya know, open up that trap door and get your butt down there! Clean up, deal with whatever is down there!
