NOAH
set a fire for tomorrow
set it to your woes
set it to your woes
Noah was more than pleased as everyone set to work. This small group of people -- two new that had recently moved into his soul, and one old that had recently returned -- were the ones he could call his friends. There were still shadows and memories of those past, and while these bodies did not take the place of the ones he lost but rather added to them, they still warmed his heart just the same.
Elide, of everyone, was the most successful in her task. The work bench was old and rickety from disuse. The ascended is adept with her tools, and works like she has done this particular task a few times on her own. Legs come apart from tops, but crossbeams splinter and shatter in her hands. While it does not come apart without some damage, the majority of the wood is salvageable enough to keep the Olson home warm, and cook this crew something delicious later on. Noah observed for a moment, smiling as Elide worked on taking apart the bench. "After you finish there, we can gather up any of the wood from the table and the wall deconstruction that will be good for fires over there." He vaguely gestures towards the door that led into the rest of his home, a pile of small pieces of broken boards already stacked there.
The sound of creaking catches the hunter's attention, and he turns towards where Deimos worked. In Halo, everything is tough. Homes are built to withstand the most ferocious of weather, of bone-chilling cold, of stray ursur. The general's strength is challenged by the mere structure of Olson walls. The beams which held the wall groaned under the pressure of Deimos' magic, but there was no satisfying crack or fall of wood to snow.
Grabbing one of the sledgehammers he had gathered, Noah then moved over towards where Deimos was trying to take down the wall. He let a lopsided grin meet the general, and he mused, "Halovians are cold. Even the homes." He laughed some, but then set himself to swing the sledge towards the wall. It cracked against it, the vibrations ringing up the hunter's arms, but he did manage to leave a hole in the wall with a crack running down.
The lightning queen moves towards the freezer, and there Hotaru is not left without challenge. Hotaru's task proves the most difficult. The deep freeze has done its jo so well for so long that some items are frozen to the sides of the underground storage. Ice, that seemingly wasn't there upon first glance, holds onto what it wants to without reserve. Like a jealous mother holding to her son, there are some items Hotaru tries to take and rearrange that just won't budge. What is she to do next?

The dice were not in all of our favor, this time. For the next round, continue as follows:
Elide - clean up from demo of walls and work bench
Deimos and Noah - continue demo
Hotaru - continue to organize and then expand the deep freeze

feel defiance burning through my teeth
it's not enough to drag this blade across the day
it's not enough to drag this blade across the day
