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.

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.
no subject
Um, am I doing alright so far?
no subject
[He will smile as he carefully examines the noose and her technique from before.]
Take your time with it. [But.] I do recommend if you...
[He will begin to explain and show Pilouette over a new trick to untying ropes that will make it easier is by figuring out which string and in which position is the central string keeping the knot in place. Guiding her hand to the string, Soushi will release her hand and return her space.]
Try to undo this piece of rope from the knot like I briefly explained earlier.
no subject
A few moments later, she looks back to him, the untied rope in hand.]
H-Hey! I did it!
[Many people probably wouldn't be so proud of untying a knot, but Pilouette takes these small victories when she can.]
no subject
And a job well-done it was. Congratulations.
[He will begin to lower half of the tent now that two ropes were untied. It won't be long until he returns his attention to the younger girl and smiles.]
Could you take care of the rope at the left end? I will work on the right, then we can lower the rest of the tent to the ground. I know I can count on you now that you know how to successfully untie the ropes.
no subject
[She gets to work untying the left rope. Having now done it once and encouraged by Soushi's praise, she seems to be just a bit faster at it this time. It's not long before she has it untied.]
There we go...!
no subject
It will not be long until he turns to the younger girl.]
Now we only need to fold the tarp, and we will be done with this tent.
[He will dust the tarp off, then take the two ends of the object.]
If you can or wish, please take a hold of the opposite end of the tent's material. I will need a second pair of hands to successfully fold the item together.
no subject
[She stands, taking her end of the tent in both hands and smiles a little.]
This part should be easy enough. I've done this tons of times! ...Well, like, not with tents, but...It's the same thing, right?
no subject
[He was glad to hear the other girl was talented in folding and maybe even doing laundry. Most of the girls he has encounter are not as reliable in the aspect of house work. He was used to doing almost every thing on his own.]
no subject
O-Oh... Uh, o-okay! It's a little bigger than bed sheets, but...it's still basically the same. Probably.
[Firmly holding her end of the tent by the corners, she begins moving toward Soushi, meaning to fold the material in half.]
no subject
What do we do now, Bonheur-sensei?
no subject
Uh, anyway, we just need to fold it in half again. So, um, we each need to take an end again, just like last time and... [She takes hold of one of the bottom corners, moving to fold it once again.]
