Who: Rob, anyone and everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 230, morning (backdated)
Where: Near the donut bush
What: Rob's created an endless supply of lumber.
Format: Any
Warnings: None

With the immediate threat to the Bastion's survival dealt with for the time being, Rob's finally gotten around to spending his shards. The result? An oak tree made of perfect 1-foot cubes. The trunk is 15 feet tall without a single branch and is surrounded by cubes of leaves starting at 6 feet above the ground, which all grow from a complex web of thin twigs without a branch in sight.

He circles around the tree at first with a grin on his face, then stops, focuses for a moment, and gives it a kick. Nothing happens, but his grin still gets bigger. A series of punches, tackles, and other strikes follow, but the tree barely quivers. Then he stops and flicks the trunk with one finger. Instantly the tree is severed at its base and topples over, the twigs in its crown cracking as they hit the ground. When the trunk itself hits the ground with a large crash, every twig snaps at once and the entire leaf mass drops to the ground leaving a square log lying on the ground in a mound of oak leaves. And a single bright red apple, which Rob picks up and bites into with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Oddly enough, despite there being only one stump there are other logs lying on the ground nearby.

[coolerthansora]

Yeah, you don't need a mountain of 'em.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

There wouldn't be anywhere to store a mountain of them anyways.

[coolerthansora]

Well, I guess you could make a really high tower but then you'd have trouble reaching the top.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[Rob's face freezes for a long moment as Roxas makes him think about something ridiculous.]

...A dragon-sized game of Jenga.

[coolerthansora]

What kind of game is that?

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

Uh... Well you've got a bunch of long flat blocks that you stack up in layers of three, so three like this [He holds out three fingers in a group.] then three across those [He holds three fingers of his other hand above and perpendicular to the other set of fingers.] and then keep going until you've got a tower. [He swaps the positions of the groups of fingers a few times, miming stacking them up.] Then the players take turns trying to take a block from the middle of the tower and putting it on top without the tower falling down. Whoever makes it fall down is the loser.

[coolerthansora]

...that sounds like it'd be pretty dangerous dragon-sized.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

It probably would be, but part of me wants to see it anyways. Of course, Paarthurnax is the only one here who's dragon-sized, so with only one player it wouldn't be that entertaining for anyone.

[coolerthansora]

Tobias can turn into all sorts of different things. I bet he could turn into a dragon.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[Rob blinks, because that should have been obvious to him.]

He probably could. ...Now I'm wondering if I should ask them.

[coolerthansora]

Maybe if everyone stood real far back it'd be safe enough.

You saw nothing

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

Might wanna do that, yeah.

[coolerthansora]

You think they'd really do it? It's- kind of silly.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[He shrugs slightly.]

Dunno. You'd hafta ask 'em.

[coolerthansora]

Well, it was your idea.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

Uh, I guess I could.

[He was just joking around but...]

[coolerthansora]

Even if they don't wanna play, I bet they'll think it's funny.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

I don't know either of them well enough to know if they will.

[coolerthansora]

Well, I don't know Paarthurnax that well but he seems nice. And Tobias is pretty cool.
