[ Turgon is covered in dust and white plaster, hair braided back tightly from his face. He's sitting in what is very clearly the basic structure of a house. ]

Good meeting all! Turgon, at your service - it occurs to me that I have been somewhat remiss, and I apologise for that. However! As you can see, I have spoken to our hosts about assisting them with repairs after the recent attack. The native folk here have never built homes of their own before, and so I fear I have become quite consumed with assisting and teaching them, and neglected to reach out to you. So! If any would like to assist, we are doing quite well with the first house, and hope to eventually proceed to repair and rebuild the rest of the damage, with time. Please do come along and help, if you wish.

[ He bows and turns it off ]

Could I help, your majesty?

[hikikomori_king]

I would love for you to come and help, Lady Alice. [ He beams at her ] Perhaps you could help me with the gardens? I have yet to decide the best planting options...

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Ah! Yes, yes I'd love too! I'm very good with flowers!

[Video]

[hikikomori_king]

I am sure the gardens will flower most magnificently under your care!

I was thinking of putting lions on the fountain - for my eldest brother, you see. What flowers did you think would suit around it?

Oh.. It's so kind of you to help them out. [ Not that it's too much of a surprise. Turgon was already really nice when she spoke to him before, so this seems to be in line with that. But just being kind while talking to someone and helping people build houses are entirely different levels of kindness. ]

It's probably a lot of work, isn't it?

[hikikomori_king]

Lady Chizuru! [ He dips his head in a bow to her ]

Yes, I suppose so. I've done it before, but I admit, this is the first time I've had to teach as I go!

[tealeafs]

No way, you've built houses before?

[ Granted, it makes sense that he could if he's teaching other people how to do it now, but that's still amazing to her - as is very obvious from her reaction. ]

That's so amazing.. It seems really complicated.

[hikikomori_king]

I'm a ... I believe the word is architect? In my own world. [ He smiles ]

I built two cities of my own at home. It isn't as hard as it seems, truly! Once the planning is out of the way, it's mostly just hard work.

[brokenlight]

It's really kind of you to help.

[It really is.]

That being said, I don't mind coming to help with repairs either if you need more hands.

Video

[hikikomori_king]

More hands would always be useful!

The last time I did something like this I certainly had more folk involved. [ He adds wryly ] But needs must.

Video

[brokenlight]

I'm sure we can convince more people to help out, too.

Re: Video

[hikikomori_king]

I hope so too! The more hands we have, the swifter the work will go, I think. What is your name, if you do not mind me asking?

[pharmakis]

I have some experience with repair and rebuilding. I could help, if you will let me?

video

[hikikomori_king]

Any aid would be most welcome, milady. Tis a large project, I know, but many hands will make light work!

[pharmakis]

It's a noble project, what you are proposing. I was rather useless against the dragon, but this is honest work at the very least.

[hikikomori_king]

I think many of us were, Lady! Twas a great deal larger than what we have in my world.

[ and him without any archers, sigh ]

Ok, that explains a few things.
I'm totally down with lending a hand but I don't think the way we build houses back home will help much here.
House building's kind of a personal expression on Alternia.
Actually pretty much everything's about personal expression on Alternia come to think of it.

[Someday, someone was going to convince this girl to stop typing gibberish and reply with a video post.]

Turgon just. refuses to text back. Video forever XD

[hikikomori_king]

It does? [ He blinks ]

In truth, I suspect any aid would be helpful, as the native folk are unaccustomed to this entirely, although they are very keen learners! How do you build at home?

Hey at least he reads her dribble!

[mindseer]

Oh, it just doesn't look like they're used to making cities around here so why would they be ready for repairs?

Pre-fab stuff, carve out hives from existing structures or flora in the area. Carve it to taste to match what fascinates us. Usually looks a bit like a beehive.

he's her slowest responder because he has to read everything aloud to himself slowly XD

[hikikomori_king]

I think normally they rely on our hosts to supply their homes. [ He nods ]

But they seem both interested and hard-working, which is all that can be asked.

[ He tips his head curiously ] So you build with what is there? Similar to how the Silvan like to do it, it seems like, although they prefer... ah... we would say talan or flet... umm.. treehouses?

[captainmaterial]

I don't have any experience in building anything. [Happens when you're a soldier.] But I can carry materials if that would be of any help.

video;

[hikikomori_king]

Any aid would be welcome. [ He assures ] There is a good deal of damage, and although I know our hosts have expressed that they can fix things, it feels as if it would be more kind for us to help out.

video;

[captainmaterial]

I can agree with that. [Nodding.] They welcomed us in when they didn't have to. I imagine they'd refuse any other kind of form of paying back.

[There isn't much that Noé has experience with, so he doesn't how much help he can be. But if there's one thing he shouldn't have any trouble with, it's his strength. So it seems worth offering.]

I don't have any experience with constructing houses. But if it's physical labor, it shouldn't be a problem. I'd be happy to help.

Re: video

[hikikomori_king]

[ Turgon smiles at him ]

Any willing to help is welcome! And I'm happy to share what I know, if you want to learn the finer points, of course!
