how do you wanna face it? when the end is so close you can taste it
It’s likely that my Torchers already knew what kinda structure I’m goin’ for - the Hanged Man ain’t the only bar on the sand in Haulani, after all, it’s just the best.
Am I blatantly ripping a design off? Maybe. Maybe not. But it is a significant change, one that’ll hopefully keep the Hanged Man more protected from the weather an’ such things. Milo gets to work on the hinges an’ it takes ‘im a false start or two to make hatches that’ll fit, but in the end the boy is successful at both parts’a his assignment; as I work with Theo, the three’a us manage to create something that don’t look bad. Certainly sturdier ‘n afore.
Zeph an’ Jack are able to get the floor in too, though who’s holdin what and doin’ something’ to whom, I can’t say. An’ frankly, I don’t wanna know. Let ‘em dick fight it out.
The sun’s startin’ t’come up now - I can see the first fiery rays beginnin’ to rise over the Ocean.Luckily it seems like the real hard work is past us. If I’d been real ambitious, I’d ‘ave put a second story on it, but not today - no, one step at’a time.
“Promise we’re almost done,” I say to my deckhands. “I need someone to re-thatch the roof, someone t’help me restock everythin, someone to make sturdy rods to prop the hatches open, an someone to waterproof slash stain the outside again.”

Milo, Jack, Zephyr, Theo - pick your poison again! Almost done. Again, all the tools you should need will be there for you.
