to heal a wound, you need to stop touching it
Vai splits her time between helping the various groups, and keeping an eye on Zeph, because whilst she loves her man to pieces, he's a fucking menace with things like this. She also helps to distribute snacks and food and drink among the workers, healing away blisters and splinters, and by the time the day is done, it's been very productive, all in all.
And the dockworkers, whilst initially resistant and grumpy, are quite thoroughly gruntled by the time it's all finished. It's amazing, what bribery and rotations will do, and this time around you all finish on time, too! "It's starting to really shape up," Vai congratulates them. "Take a day to yourselves, and we'll meet back here after that!"
So it goes. And in the time that the party takes off, carpenters and stone masons make more intricate work of the structure that they have started (these things take time and expertise, as we all know), and when the morning arrives for them to meet up once more, there's yet more to do.
Vai is surrounded by all manner of materials - wood, cloth, metal, pottery - and in place of the dockworers, she's roped in a locksmith, one of the carpenters, a potter and a seamstress.
"So far we've got a hole in the cliffside. Let's make it more like a house!" She grins.
Another day of house building ahoy!
There are four tasks available - Vai will take whatever is left:
- Work with the carpenter to construct doors and shutters
- Work with the seamstress to sew some drapes etc.
- Work with the potter to make some decorative mosaic
- Work with the locksmith to fit locks in the doors
No post order!
