[PQ] the other side of paradise

there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in

Henry's about to try to say something to break the silence as they work, when suddenly Mabel's swear carries through the barracks. He lets out a low laugh, glancing her way. "Seems like the window's more trouble than it's worth!" He jokes in her direction, smiling.

Returning to the work at hand, Henry finds that he's proud of the work he's completed so far. He retrieves some more materials to fill in and cover all of the cracks. He's as thorough as he can be, working to make sure nothing is missed - especially if it seems like a possible offender of the work they've gotten done so far.

If he's successful in his endeavor, he'll take a survey of the building, double-checking that things are secure.

"I think we've done a great job here," he remarks, looking over at his companions.

Henry will cover the cracks and make sure everything is in order!

HENRY

and the sky was littered with the corpses of stars

This round goes a lot better than the prior ones, Mabel manages to get her finger unstuck from the board and the nail, and with her determination she manages to get the nails into place to board it up, making room for her to stuff the crevices with the snow moss before Henry can come along and cover up the rest.

Henry on the other hand, does a great job at finishing up blocking entrances and spaces where light could leach through. Azrael finally manages to finish up their corner of the snow moss, bounding over the boards to make sure that they don’t creak – and if perhaps they step on a few of the rogue spiders that had startled them, so be it.

Their attention lifts at the work they all had accomplished, their hands clasping together in a bright clap and a wide fanged grin on their face. “It looks great! Good job everyone!” They flash Mabel and Henry an excited smile. “Let’s clean up and celebrate?” This is the first time they’ve done something like this, and they don’t know what a decent reward might be. Hopefully that’s a good enough reward as is.
