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! ]

Lance's brows draw together, "Uh, it feels the same to me, man."

But this is already established as a blood thing like his loss of senses, so he lets out a breath, "Right, blood stuff."

Still, to feel that overheated… there must be something that can help. He rubs at the back of his neck and looks to the side, thinking.

"Would ice help?"

"Yeah... blood stuff." He took a deep breath to try and stop panting. Ice? He wasn't sure... Ugh. For the moment, it seemed that having the air suddenly feel insanely heavy took a lot of energy, and Keith just couldn't summon enough to make his own. "I don't know... maybe?" If Lance could find some...

In the meantime, Keith was starting to feel hotter, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He finally just gave up and pulled off the tanktop.
azurestar: (shit)

Well, couldn't hurt to try. Lance summons Valor with a puff of black smoke from his chest when Keith doesn't immediately just make his own ice. Maybe he can't for some reason, but whatever, Lance has an ice pokemon, so it's fine.

"Go home and get Aurora," he tells his omen and then Valor just sort of looks at him and then over at the now shirtless Keith. Which gets Lance looking at shirtless Keith and his face flares bright and hot… and so does other parts of his body, igniting the wood beneath them again.

"Sh-shit!" He rushes to pat it out with his own jacket. While he's doing that, his omen runs off to go get the pokemon as requested now that he's enjoyed that moment.

"What the-?! Fuck!" Keith jumped back, falling first on to his ass, and then completely on to his back. "I hope you can get that out!" he yelled suddenly because, frankly, it was too damn hard to get up now.
azurestar: (pieces)

"I-I got this!" Lance practically squeaks as he continues to use his jacket to put out the flames. It's enchanted to not catch fire, which really helps with the whole process, but it is taking longer than he'd like.

"Dammit Valor, he better get here fast."
tempredmental: (What Am I Even Doing?)

Keith just groaned and weakly threw his shirt in that general direction to help if needed, and then attempted to roll out of the way so he didn't get burned or something.

Sorry, it was the best he could do in the moment...
azurestar: (concentrate)

"Dammit… screw it."

He's gonna do it, he's gonna absorb the energy again, like he did with Keith's fire after the Karate tournament. That wasn't the best experience for him, but he's gonna chalk that up to it being fire that wasn't from his own body. Or something. It had felt like more than that, but regardless, this fire was created by him, so… might as well give it a go. He reaches out till his fingers are right in the flame and focuses, drawing the energy into himself like he used to need to do back in Deerington. The energy swirls up his arm and over his neck and face like a wave of blue-gold-orange under his skin and he grits his teeth, grunting with some discomfort.

"Okay… good news is I stopped the floor from burning…"

Keith laid there on his stomach for a moment, waiting for Lance to continue. But, when he didn't, well...

"Okay. What's the bad news?"

Because that was where this was going, right?
azurestar: (mememachine)

[personal profile] azurestar 2023-01-09 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
"The bad news is… is uh, n-nothing! There is no bad news! I gotta go to the bathroom, bye!"

And with that, he's just gonna sprint the fuck away like a radioactive looney toons character.

Keith managed to pick his head up enough to see Lance run off like a weirdo. It took a moment for his humidity addled brain to figure it out.

Oh... right. The energy thing...

Oh, shit. The energy thing.

Well, hopefully Lance could get enough distance...
