[EVENT] Boat Building Log

[paysdelamour]

Who: France, Portugal, and YOU!
When: September 24th, all day
Where: North of the island, in various locations in the Rose District and the Docks
What: France and Portugal are implementing their boat plan into action. People help build a completed boat!
Warnings: Probably some mild language (either from hitting hands with hammers or minions stealing supplies).

(( ooc: All threads should be organized under the three threads below! You may lock threads as needed, or keep them open to everyone, it's up to you!

The Supply Gathering thread is for those characters who are going to be imagining up building supplies and nails and hammers and the like, in order to send them to the docks! You will be managed under Francis/France, who will be flitting from house to house to make sure people are summoning the right parts. When things start getting stolen, he'll also start summoning missing parts to try and make up for lost time.

The Building thread is for those characters who are going to be actually creating the boat on the docks! Occasionally, characters from the supply gathering camp will come and deliver things to you guys! You'll be managed under Afonso/Portugal, who will be making sure you're building according to his blueprints. Also be sure to look out for those pesky minions who will be stealing supplies and bogging down the boat-making process. Someone may have to start guarding the supplies, but you'll also have to hurry on the boat!

Lastly, the Provision Gathering thread is for after the boat is built. This is for helping summon weapons and food and storing it into the hold of the ship. These weapons can later be used in the fight against the minions later, but any guns will have a very limited ammo supply because the minions will catch everyone by surprise! Any actual fighting of the minions will be carried out in the log posted on the 4th of April.

If you have any questions about the boat building, you may post HERE and I will get back to you ASAP! ))

SUPPLY GATHERING

[paysdelamour]

(( ooc: Please post all threads about gathering boat supplies under this thread! ))

France, open to everyone!

[paysdelamour]

France had been keeping himself quite busy the night and morning before, making sure everything tonight went off without a hitch. Thankfully, at midnight, many had shown up as he and Portugal had arranged. It was showing in his face that he hadn't slept at all, but he was keeping himself busy, marking off parts he'd already assigned to his helpers, going door to door in the rose district making sure everyone was staying on task, and more importantly, making sure everything stayed on schedule. They still had a fighting chance if things ran smoothly, and for all intents and purposes he was intending to keep it that way.

[awesomemich]

So here comes Prussia to report for duty on imagining up the various items necessary to build a boat. Of course he was going to help with this as his Navy had been virtually non-existent so he really had no talent for ship building.

"Can I imagine the sails up?!" he wondered as he came over to France.

[dreamsonwings]

Sora wasn't used to imagining things and suddenly they appear out of thin air. So thinking of certain boat parts was a little out there for her. However, she was able to get some sturdy nails and tools out of the process.

At least she's trying.

[fatalitykisser]

Yoko arrived at midnight like many other residents, getting rid of that dreadful robe for more work appropriate clothing. She decided to filter through the three groups since she knew her way around all of them but first, she wanted to go visit with France. He looked too exhausted for her own liking.

She approached him quietly and gently tapped his shoulder as she peeked around to smile at him. Yoko held out a mug with warm tea still steaming and then moved to stand beside him.

"Don't overwork yourself too much now," She replied; in a tone she used often with her students," The battle hasn't started..yet."

[starofchaos]

Even prior to knowing of this attempt, Louis had been practicing thoroughly with the summoning ability. It had stonewalled him many times, but by now he was at least good with it. It was not so different from certain abilities that demons held, after all.

He doubted this would be so easy, but of all things, he was willing to encourage any escape attempt. Malkuth and the Abyss might well be ruined by now. It all rested on Aleph, and he preferred not to leave everything to that man.

So when the time came, he was there as if he always had been. The problem was how little he knew about boats. "What do we need?" he asked, without preamble.

[waterformybath]

Howl is finding it difficult to envision the right parts for this ship that they're building. The ones he's familiar with are the huge, metal battleships that have recently graced their harbours, and the only wooden ones (which is what France seems to have in mind?) that he's seen are toy models - hardly a good thing to go on for something that's meant to be seaworthy.

So there may be scraps of metal appearing instead of wood, if someone doesn't come and correct him soon.

[sparksfire]

Katniss wasn't sure how to build a boat, but she at least knew that they were made from wood. Noticing the other, she walked up to him and sighed. He was a little hopeless sometimes, wasn't he.

"Howl, why don't we take these metal pieces out and find some wood?" She said, kind of smiling. She had to admit, he kind of reminded her of Finnick...

Pardon any slight slowness. Mind if I join in?

[bluesteelranger]

Things had been quiet for him, even dull to an extent. He'd begun to itch for exploring again, for wonders again. That and he'd been getting sick of those damnable headaches...
It had been because of this that Renne had begun to navigate coastward again.

The sound of activity here though, catches his big ears. Puzzled, the oddity navigates toward the nearest sound he can make out.

"Hellow? Wha-t do?"

BUILDING

[paysdelamour]

(( ooc: Please post all threads about building the boat under this thread! ))

Amakusa, open to everyone!

[hyahahacool]

Well.... this was a first.

He never thought he'd ever have to actually help with this kind of thing, building a boat. It was all to get away from a place he's been stranded at with several other people. That's definitely the kind of thing you find in stories. Amakusa has a couple nails in his mouth, and he's using the hammer in his hand to beat the nails into the wood, making sure he's following the blueprints accordingly, actually listening to authority for once.

open to anyone!! :D

[nerdable]

Shouichi felt really awkward, more so then usual. He often kept to himself so much he was never sure what to do when it came to things like this. But he wanted to get back home, mostly because he wanted to see where Byakuran went, and because he was feeling a little lonely. He didn't know many people here, and he was a little too shy to try.

Looking around, he walked until he could find someone to ask what he needed to do. Shouichi could at least get his way around tools.

Open to Anyone

[bearpuns]

Teddie was trying very hard to get the supplies over to the boat to get them ready for building. He wasn't sure how to work tools, but he could at least help out the best he could. It wasn't good for a bear to just sit around and not help. He would make sure to work hard, even if some of this stuff was a little heavy for him. Plus, he wanted to get home to Nanako and Souji...

Open to all (Placeholder-ish, considering hiatus)

[femininetomboy]

Madoka had spent her time building the boat being a helpful little thing. In a way this was exactly what she was made for. She loved building, she loved tools... and even if this was not what she usually did, she felt at home.
Rushing around with tools, crawling into places other people where to tall for... Madoka was comfortable.
She had a smile for all of the other workers, but mostly she was concentrated. While she was ready to rush to help anybody with a problem, for the most part she focused on building.
It was fairly obvious that she was fully ready to continue doing so for the entire night, too.

open to everyone

[fatalitykisser]

Yoko wiped the the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand as she paused in her work. Sure, she never built a boat before but she understood the concept very well from her experience in helping build other things. While wood and nails felt a little..odd to her, she was familiar with the tools from her own school building which remained quite old-fashioned compared to the sparkling technologies of Kamina City.

She leaned back, resting on her hands as she looked up at the sky to take a minor break in her handy work.

Open to anyone! :D

[solitarynuvola]

The pile of building materials is being guarded by one very, very, possessive man. Hibari is currently skulking around the edges of the pile, never too close to the action to be considered part of it, but not too far away that he couldn't chase off any supply stealers if he had to. If anyone bothered to approach him, to thank him for looking after the supplies or something similar, he'd merely scoff and claim that he was doing this of his own selfish whims.

But honestly? He really was helping. After all, this was the best chance that he had of getting off of the island, though after he saw exactly how many people were planning to go on the boat, he was reconsidering. Dealing with crowds was never his forte, after all. Perhaps he'd stay and go up to the castle afterwards, after everyone else had gone, to teach those herbivorous Rulers a lesson. Yes, that sounded like a good idea.

Open to everyone!

[get_the_win]

Okay, he had no idea how to build a boat. He had no idea how to build most things really. But he was good at following instructions. He could even fix his Gundam when Rain was there to tell him what to do, and compared to that a boat was easy. ...Right?

Still, he was strong enough to deal with the larger and bulkier items. At least he's useful despite needing instructions for every step.

Portugal, open to everyone 8D

[lusitania]

[I'm totally supposed to be leading this. Oops, I was travelling. COME ASK HIM SOME QUESTIONS OR SOMETHING!]

Open to anyone~

[soulofaginger]

Manual labor had always come as second nature to G. He hated not being able to get out and do something productive, and thus the moment he caught wind of the ship building he was outside and working without so much as telling anyone he was joining in. He knew how to work wood, though more delicately than this required. Luckily, through some inherited knowledge from his denizen, he was able to anage just fine.

So, long after discarding his shirt G stood with a group of the boards for the siding of the ship, working them into a proper curve so it could be nailed on. Though being out in the sun for so long didn't prove well for the pale red-head. His back and face sunburned to make his pale skin blend better with the his hair and the tattoo that ran down the right side of his face, back and chest. He doesn't pay any mind to it though. He's far too used to turning into a tomato getting burnt outside. It was a miracle he wasn't covered in freckles really.

PROVISION GATHERING

[paysdelamour]

(( ooc: Please post all threads about gathering food and weapons after the boat is build under this thread! ))

France, open to everyone!

[paysdelamour]

Despite attempts from those pesky supply-stealers that had held up the entire operation he'd tried so hard to keep together, they had finally completed the boat. However, Francis was not one to stop, not when they still had a chance of getting off the island without the Rulers intervening. So, Francis was working hard, imagining wheelbarrows full of swords and rifles, ammunition, and food, so that he could take them to the docks and stock the boat with them for later. He had a terrible feeling that, somehow, they were going to need it.

OPEN TO ANYONE

[ugetsu]

Ugetsu has taken to gathering all the food he can, putting it in crates and separating it. He has his hair pulled back and the bunny ears are flopped down around his face, as he works. Hopefully this would work, but he had to wonder how they would go back to their world from this boat. Would it honestly take them far enough for them to kind of disappear back to their own world?

He was thinking hard, because he was starting to put in some vegetables with the fruit.

Open!

[pawsitively]

Nepeta would have liked to help with the boat but she cant imagine how boats parts are actually supposed to work and look like. She was also, sadly, a bit too tiny and not STRONG enough to help build it up. So she was doing her best to simultaneously help out while keeping out of the way.

And what better way than to gather supplies? A hunter is always ready to round up some food and weapons are just a given. Though ... some of the food she's finding be edible for the humans ....? Are those .. are those grubs? Grub Sauce?!

Open to all?

[fools_journey]

[ Though still somewhat uncertain about this whole endeavor, even if by now he has agreed to go, Minato has nonetheless been doing what he can to help out. He doesn't know too much about ship building, but he does know a bit about cooking, at least. Consequently, he's been gathering easy-to-store raw ingredients for simple-to-prepare dishes, as well as baking some biscuits and rice cakes, because such things - when stored properly - tend to keep a while.

Aware that there are creatures coming and stealing the supplies, he does his best to at least package things securely.

... he might also have brought his sword, just in case... ]

Mayuri Shina, open to everyone!

[timehostage]

[ Mayuri raised a hand to the sky for a few minutes. She figured that gathering the fruit would be much easier for her. ]

Mayushii will do her best today. Mm!
