Day 241 | Open

Who: Rob, Anyone
Open: Open
When: 241
Where: Near the donut bush and the cubic oak tree, then heading over to Colin's workshop.
What: The Bastion now has a cart to move big stuff around with. Along with sandpaper plants/"gritleaf" but shush those aren't important right now.
Format: Will match
Warnings: None yet

Rob hasn't made a big deal about the project he's been working on for the past ten days. Actually, he hasn't made any kind of deal about it, and there are maybe three people in the Bastion who he's mentioned it to, aside from anyone who might've wandered by in the meantime and seen him at work. But now he's finally finished it: a two-wheeled cart that a person (or some sort of draft animal if someone knows how to rig up a harness system) can use to move heavy or bulky items around with. With the exception of nails and a few fittings, the cart is entirely made of wood from the cubic oak tree. What? It's not very impressive for ten days of work? You try turning logs into planks with only a handsaw and see how long it takes you. (Rob's note to self: make a lumber mill at some point.)

Entirely unrelated are the foot-tall plants with rough undersides to their leaves that popped up on Day 238 in a fair-sized clump near the cubic oak tree and in singles here and there around the rest of the Bastion, leaves from which Rob's been using as sandpaper.

But the cart's done now, and after a final sanding of the handles to remove a rough spot he missed, he hefts half a square log from the cubic oak tree onto the cart and takes it for a partially-loaded test pull. He has no idea how this is supposed to feel, but it seems like it's working all right, so he'll call it a success for now. He heads over to Colin's workshop with it, pausing midway to mop the sweat from his brow and toss his sodden tank top on the cart. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on... pasty white flesh, tan lines from the tank top, and a slight gut. ...Okay never mind.

In any case, he'll be knocking on Colin's door once he arrives, and he can be accosted at any point along his journey.

[For reference, let's say the cart looks something like this.]

Anna blinks, and stays very still at falling and crashing.

She stares at her hand for a moment like 'why did just a poke do that'. Pokes don't knock over trees.

Of course, he did say 'apply force with...' some big words that meant 'want to hurt it'.

... "... Isn't this an oak tree?"

Anna steps over and picks up the apple.

It feels like an apple. It smells like an apple. It looks a lot like an apple too. Very nice red.

Anna sits in the pile of leaves and takes a bite. Tastes like an apple. "You asked for a very weird tree."

Anna slowly munches on the apple while starts cutting off bark.

"Mmmhmn." The apple is staying with her while she grabs a couple of leaves.

"... Like you do when you make apple rabbits." Anna peeling a tree of bark is a bit different from peeling skin off of apples.

She's looking between her half-eaten apple and the leaves she's gathered. Put the apple down? ... Why not, it wasn't as if she'd seen any bugs around here.
aprettyred: (A little messy)

"You cut an apple into slices, and then cut the skin so the slices look like they have rabbit ears. Because when you're sick, you should eat apples, and they're cute, so its nice to look at." Anna explains.

She pauses after a moment. "... It isn't getting tough."

She knows. It helps her keep pets.

"I can teach you. Or maybe Rin would be better at it."

Anna tests the lack of core. There definitely isn't one. Huh. "Very."
