WESSEX
She is both surprised and remarkably pleased at the turnout of the younger Ascended. She has nothing but a grateful smile for each of them as they arrive. When Cameron says they’ve never built anything, Wessex just chuckles. “Neither have I, not of this size. You know how the rock gathering went… no promises that this will go any better.” And there isn’t, because they’re all kind of flying by the seat of their pants, except for maybe Azrael.
Nikolai had helped with the building of the spikey balls, so he was also well equipped with the fact that Wessex is neither an architect or a builder. Everything ended up working for best, but this might not be the case. “Thanks for coming, Nikolai.”
And then, of course, there’s the real mastermind behind the project, Azrael, who comes flying up with an apology which the Wraith waves away.
“Let’s start with the foundation, yeah? You’ll see the outer lines are clearly marked with the base layers of stone. Let’s each take a wall and add to that for now.” Until they could no longer comfortably add additional stones, in which case they can switch. “There’s several buckets of mortar and we’ve got Ed making more as we speak.” She waves to the local stonemason, who’s been quietly doing some mixing this whole time. They’ll need a lot to make this building sturdy.
"It's fairly simple. Put the stones in as flat and best you can, then fill in with the mortar. Move this shaping thingy -" she's not entirely sure what it's called, but it's more or less a pair of panels that define the thickness of the walls and are on tall stands, which allow them to move up and down. The stands themselves can move side to side. "- along when you've finished a section. When you come back to it, it should be dry enough to build on top of. Any questions... uh, ask me or Az, really. They drew up the plans."

Alright, you have your assignments! Let's start on the walls.
No, I’ll be the stone
I’ll be the hunter, a tower that casts the shade
I lie awake and watch it all
