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! ]

[Honestly? The weirdest part is having a conversation with Neopolitan of all people about this. There's a strangeness to being able to relate over things from that world when you are relieved to leave it and its conflicts buried and dead.]

Don't forget the part where having a shitty day isn't gonna bring 'em down on your head.

[Sure, they got Corruption as a trade, and not taking care of their state of mind at least somewhat risks becoming a creature like a Grimm, but it's still an incredible feeling to know that he only really need encounter monsters when he wants to.]

[Yeah, that was definitely one of the weirdest parts. It was a conversation that almost certainly never could have happened back home, and yet... both of them understood this in ways that very few in Trench did.]

Yep, it only occasionally does that here.
And let's be real, the fights around here are at least manageable.

Usually.
