Who: Everyone
Where: Mostly Districts 2 and 3
When: 20th September
Summary: In light of the new district reopening, there's still a lot to do! This log is open to everyone if they want to see what else is going on in the city, or help with some important tasks.
Warnings: Inbox death may occur. System overload at own risk. SOME NPC RESPONSES WILL BE SLOW UNTIL THE ONE WHO PLAYS THEM IS PRESENT.
I'm only happy when it rains...
Some of the natives have been busy. There's a little stand set up in the plaza that wasn't there before. They have minions, too: people with clipboards are assaulting recent arrivals on the street with requests. It seems that most of the employees are helping with the district reopening, and that means everyone else is incredibly understaffed.
But wait! Don't walk away! If your character helps with some of the chores around the city, they'll get a little money added to their stipend, as well as a coupon to the new store opening today in District 3.
District 2
Residents will be asked to help hang up tiny twinkling lights in the trees lining the streets, nothing so fancy as during the summer festival but something with lasting power throughout the oncoming rainfall. There are water fountains that need to be insulated, gigantic mountains of leaves that should be disposed of, and plants requiring trimming.
District 3
In addition to the winterization chores going on in the second district, the shopping district has their own problems to take care of. Large potted plants need to be moved inside-- that's a job for physically fit characters-- and little tents need to be taken down. Oh, and they need lights in the trees here, too.
New Store
There is a lot of excitable chattering surrounding the new store on the main shopping street. The sign is currently covered in plastic and unreadable.
Boxes
Near the water, groups of trees, or small parks, characters might stumble upon a group of canvas-covered boxes and someone desperately looking for help with them. There are a lot, after all.
YOU MAY NOW REPLY. Thank you for your patience!
NPCs will pop into the last two sections. Otherwise, comment and threadjack at will.

[A nod of full agreement as he takes his position at the other side of the larger item.]
Yes, it would be best to do so. You are very clever and observant over this matter, Miss...?
no subject
Uh, my name is Pilouette. Um, it's nice to meet you...!
no subject
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintanceship, Pilouette-san. I am Soushi Miketsukami.
[Now somewhat leading her back to the shop by walking backwards.]
How long have you been in Saeng Seong for, if you don't my asking?
no subject
Um...Well, I part of the first group to be brought here and that was back in June, so...A little over three months, I think. I actually thought I'd be back home before, now....
no subject
...it would seem as though we have been within this world in the same amount of time...
[There will be more pushing and more guiding until they finally enter the store.]
Do not lose hope over the matter. Sooner or later, your time will come. We will not remain here forever. [All said quite knowingly as he has seen those he cares for most in the world return home under his nose.
A small smile will appear as he looks around the store.]
Where do you wish to place this one?
no subject
Maybe over there? A-And I know we won't be here forever...I guess it's just kind of worrying. I mean, like, they keeping bringing more people here. Like, just how much power do they need...?
no subject
Enough to fill an entire city...
[Once they were to the corner, he will lower the object down as a more serious expression appears.]
Sections of the city are beginning to appear before us at an extraordinary decelerate rate. It's clear the city is larger than we had first anticipated. The larger an area and more inhabited, the more energy is needed. [A more concern expression will appear as he continues to ponder deeper about it.] I am uncertain if it is true or not, but I was told the natives will grow ill in the near future as we do...
no subject
But I thought the whole no touching sickness thing didn't affect them! So they'll get sick without being able to make energy...? And us touching them doesn't do anything...
[She reaches up to fiddle with her hair, frowning anxiously. Hearing that makes her feel a little bad about complaining about the situation. Even if he said he's not sure if it's true, it's enough to make her worry.]
no subject
[At least, when it came to the effects of the experiment gone wrong, they were growing sick while the natives were beginning to feel the side-effects as well. He isn't certain if the sickness they fall under every so often will affect them in the near future.]
To a certain extent, she admitted to it when I asked if it was possible for the natives to fall ill from outside forces as the ones we felt a few weeks ago from the scientists. When I asked over if the natives had their own medicine to cure themselves with, she did not answer.
no subject
Her frown deepens a little bit.]
That...That's awful...! I guess the most we can do to help is keep trying to generate energy, but...
[She trails off, unsure of how to put the sudden worry she's feeling. As much as she complains about being in Saeng Seong, she really does want to help. But knowing that there's something that she can't help with at all...well.]
no subject
It is as you have so thoughtfully said. Is it not more important to do what we know that will further aid the city than concern ourselves over the rest of the details?
[He will offer a smile.]
After all, we are slowly learning more about the city over time, I am certain we will learn the rest of the details when the time comes. All we need to do is continue to engross ourselves with our labor and do the best we can do. [Then he begins to wonder if he should admit his plans.] What are your current thoughts of a city wide picnic?
no subject
[She smiles a little when he brings up the idea of a picnic.]
A picnic does sound like a nice idea. A city-wide picnic, though...It sounds like a totally huge amount of work. [She pauses for a brief moment.] But I bet a lot of people would be really happy with it...!
no subject
[As for his picnic idea, he will nod his head.]
Yes, it will indeed be a challenging feat, but I plan to make it a reality in the future. I would like to create a picnic as a way to help break the ice between the other individuals from different worlds. The idea of helping each other will be done if everyone is able to get better acquainted. Of course the natives will be invited to the festivities as a way to create some type of positive relationship between us. Those are the goals I wish to accomplish by organizing this event. Other than food and drinks, what type of activities should I prepare? Activities that will offer the chance to touch without making it awkward, do you have any thoughts?
no subject
She listens to his plans, smiling a bit. A giant picnic to create a better relationship between everyone...! She thinks for a moment.]
Activities...? W-Well, I know a few people have mad big games of tag. People might like that, um, e-even if it's kind of a kid game. [Because she's way too totally mature for that
no she's not.]O-Or maybe some other kinds of sports would be good? Since people like tag, maybe Red Rover would be good. Or capture the flag or something...It would depend on the season, too, though wouldn't it?
sorry for this late tag. i've been feeling out of the weather the last few days.
I did hear over the activity being planned for a city wide game of the sport. [Yes, he will call it a "sport" to help make it sound more mature.] Capture the flag is another wonderful idea as well. [However.] I do apologize, but I am not familiar with the concept of Red Rover. What is it about?
[As for the season proposal, Soushi will begin to realize the change of season, so she did have a point over the matter.] That is another matter to contemplate over as well. I am still uncertain over the best time to initiate my current idea. Summer has ended. Which season would be the best time for a picnic? Spring is a thought, but it is too distant in the future... [He will continue to ponder over it as he really was having a difficult time deciding especially when he did not know many suitable activities for autumn or winter.]
No problem at all! I hope you're feeling better~!
[She tilts her head thoughtfully.] Actually, it can get kind of rough if people get too into it, but I remember it being fun when I was a kid...[She takes a second to really think about it when he mentions the seasons...It is getting colder, evidenced by the task they've currently undertaken.]
Spring is usually the best time, but...like you said, that's a long time from now. Autumn might work...I mean, it's a little colder, but a lot of games can still be played in Autumn! Or...Well, there's probably not anywhere big enough to have the picnic indoors, is there...?
Much better. Thank you for the well-wishes. C:
...another good point. [As no one knows over the type of season autumn and winter will bring, Soushi is uncertain if he will be able to set up a picnic of any kind during those times. He begins to ponder over other ideas. Maybe if there was a way to find an area large enough for a group of people to go to, then it would be easier. Somehow he will figure it out.] I do not know if there is an area large enough to house a party or large gathering. The only areas I can think of might be the gym or restaurants. Maybe the building lobbies could be another area to use...
[He will continue to think until he remembers the other potted plants that need to be carried and taken care of. An apologetic smile will appear towards the other girl.]
Ah, it would seem I have stalled our work in taking care on the original task on hand. I do apologize. Please, do not worry over the matter. There is still time to think about these matters further in the future. Why do we not finish our task before doing anything else?
no subject
[She smiles a little sheepishly before looking around at what plants remain. It would appear that some of them have already been brought in by others during their conversation.]
So, what should we get next...?
no subject
At her suggestion, Soushi will begin to look around, wondering on their next project.]
The tents are in need to be unfasten before putting it away. Why do we not help with the tents? With our efforts, I am certain we can finish the work quickly. [In other words, he is counting on Pilouette's strength.]
no subject
Right! Sounds good! I-I've never actually taken down or set up tents before, but I'll do my best! Maybe it's not that hard, right?
no subject
The tents at the festival do not seem difficult to remove or carry, but I can teach you to untie the knots used to keep them in place. [Then he wonders.] Have you ever gone on a camping trip before?
no subject
Sure! Like, I'll learn whatever you have to teach! ...I never have been camping. I mean, I never really had the chance before.
no subject
[Soushi will head to the side of the district where the tents were being remove, folded, then placed in a container, where another native will take it away for storage. He will explain that Bonheur-san and him, both wish to help with the workload. The moment they are given the affirmation over the matter, Soushi will begin to explain to Pilouette over the best way to remove the knots made to keep the tents sturdy.]
Did you understand over the proper way to remove a knot?
no subject
I...I think so. This is the first time I've dealt with knots like these, though...
no subject
[And he will remain by her side even as he guides her to the next knot from the other side of the tent as he took care of the first.]
Just remember the first rule and instructions from before, then you will be fine. Give it a try. I will be here if you need any help.
