11 . clockhouse rebuilding!

Who: Those who have offered to help rebuild the Clockhouse, and anyone else who'd like to pitch in!
What: An open mingle log to repair after fires and floods.
When: Throughout September, precise dates not specified.
Where: In Gaze, at the forest's edge.

[ When the weather and chaos dies down, work on the Clockhouse picks up. The building was once an old Deerington mansion, luridly green and eccentric; age faded it into half a ruin, and July's fire did the rest. August's flooding came fast and hard, and now there's very little left to salvage.

The first step has been a damage assessment, with volunteers picking through the structurally unstable ruins, finding singed fiction novels, crisped houseplants, and a weird number of melted grandfather clocks. Demolition goes quickly, while Ozpin stands by and does not even try to control the situation.

Volunteers are needed to design the new structure, carry in materials, and build... and then to decorate and enchant what they've created. The few Sleepers with genuine construction experience provide direction, Ozpin sometimes among them, but things are largely chaotic. A few Sleepers provide snacks and cheerleading.

This is a mingle log. Please feel free to make a toplevel, and comment with your character's contributions below! ]

[ Ford has always enjoyed Michael's company. While it's been quite some time since they've actually spoken Ford had been pleased to see him at the rebuilding site all the same. It's easy enough to fall into step with him during the design process, and so he doesn't hesitate to offer his opinion when asked. ]

No one seemed to mind how ostentatious it was before, so I don't see why we shouldn't aim for something in line with the rest of the city.

[ He will not comment on whether they should allow the clock aesthetic to endure, since he knows he can't be unbiased in that regard. What he will say is: ]

If you do include clocks, make sure there's space for thorough soundproofing in the walls. It could get noisy in there.

Oh, yeah...I don't think Ange minded the clock thing that much. She lived there and all, right?

[Look, she's his friend, it is mostly her wishes that he cares about.]

Though I don't want it to look exactly like the old house, even if there are clocks. Might as well take the opportunity for some change, right?

Hard to say if they didn't mind it or just got used to it.

[ Either way, Ford thinks his soundproofing idea is a solid one. As for the facade... ]

I think the first step should be making it less green.
eudaimonikos: (deductive argument)

Not really relevant for the plans, but - yeah, you're right.

[He'll write that down - "not green"]
