NOAH
set a fire for tomorrow
set it to your woes
set it to your woes
The men seemed off their game, today. Perhaps the spirits of Noah's ancestors were holding the walls up. Frustration caused Noah's teeth to grind together as he and Deimos worked to demolish the walls. It took a long time, comparative to the time it took Elide to disassemble the table and for Hotaru to finish up adjusting the contents of the deep freeze. Noah grumbled and swung, his sledgehammer cracking wood and ice with every third strike. Deimos swings were much less productive, his own sledge only making headway on their goal every fifth strike. Despite the time it took them, eventually the men were able to demolish the wall completely. Noah wiped sweat from his brow, and shouldered off his outermost layer. "Damn, I didn't realize my grandfather's grandfather had been such a good builder." He emphasized it with a laugh, the relief of completing demolition enough to keep him in good spirits about it all. "Let's prove ourselves even better than him." He gave Deimos and Elide a wide, toothy grin before gesturing towards the lumber they could now see from the hole in the building. "We have this for framing in new walls," he gestured to one pile, "and this is a table that Glas made. It just needs assembly. He wrote some instructions for it." He gestured to the other, smaller pile.
The girl with lightning at her fingertips was successful in what she did. As they all worked above ground, Hotaru pressed on beneath them. Her dagger's were sharp and strong, and her strategy wise. Each item she chose to move did so, and as she worked she expanded the deep freeze to better accommodate more of Noah's, and other hunters', bounties. After he showed Deimos and Elide the next task, Noah moved towards where Hotaru was. "How's it going down there?" He crouched at the entry, balancing himself with his hands on the top rung of the ladder so that his head could pop down enough to see her. "We've got a few more things to do up here, if you're ready down here." Which, as Noah's eyes adjusted to the dark enough, he thought she was.

The dice made it harder to accomplish what we needed, but we're moving on! Now we will need:
1 char to assemble new table from Glas
2 chars to begin framing in new walls
1 char to organize the butchery supplies
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
