Hello, everyone! My name is Falin Touden and I need your help. Um, I recently took over the position of gravekeeper at the Abandoned Graveyard. You may or may not know, but there’s been a spot of trouble with Amalgam Skeletons; they’ve been taken care of now, but I would like to take care of the cause of this problem. To that end, I want to dry the flooded part of the cemetery and reinforce it to prevent future flooding — and that is exactly what I need your help with. Here is the gist of the plan:
• Otherwise, we will need seasonal power holders, the more, the better, to keep the lakewater at bay, build the flood wall, and reinforce that part of the graveyard. Any season will help, so please know that we will still be very glad to have you even if your powers have nothing to do with water or earth. The engineers will tell you exactly what to do once you’re here. Oh, and one more thing — everyone who shows up to help will be compensated, courtesy of the Autumn Guild; we know your time is valuable and we don’t want to ask you to donate it for free!
• The work will be carried out on the 4th of October. I will be here — in the graveyard, I mean — from dawn until late into the night, but you can show up whenever is convenient for you and stay however long you want — there is no minimum or maximum amount of work that you can do. The engineers think one day should be enough if a few people show up, but many hands make light work, so…!
• If you plan to attend, first of all, thank you very much! I appreciate it tremendously and I know so do the dead, and the living too! Um, secondly, you may confirm it here, or you can simply show up the day of.
It would mean the world to me to get this done, but I can’t do it on my own, which is why I’m asking for your help. Thank you so much for considering it, and for your time! Um, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or need anything at all…!
OOC: This will just be a little open mingle log that I’ll put up on October 4th. Come get muddy and do a good deed for the dead!
cut for details; click here to see
• A team of Ellipsan engineers has already drawn up the blueprints for the flood wall and the, um, I think it’s called a dry pond…? A-anyway, they already have an idea for what needs to be built, but if anyone here happens to be familiar with this sort of construction, please let me know and I will get you in touch with them so you can maybe offer feedback…!• Otherwise, we will need seasonal power holders, the more, the better, to keep the lakewater at bay, build the flood wall, and reinforce that part of the graveyard.

...Well, let me see who I can bully into helping you out~
[Eva would volunteer herself... but she knew well enough that she'd be a wreck come October 4th. On the other hand, there were at least a few people she had in mind to ask.]
no subject
[ She appears completely unaware of the fact that this is exactly what a lot of people would describe as “morbid”. ]
I can give you a tour of the grounds sometime once we’re done, if you’d like; it’s a lovely place, very safe!
[ She’d ask Eva not to bully anyone on her behalf, but she’s firmly convinced Eva is way too nice to actually do that, despite any and all evidence to the contrary. ]
For some reason I missed that it was text, feel free to assume her first post was too
[She hoped so, but the thought left a bitter taste in her mouth. One she found hard to swallow.
After all, those that had sudden or painful, frightening deaths- if ghosts existed like that, they never could be peaceful, right? Why was it that the ghosts here had such peaceful ends, it wasn't fair at all...!]
But sure, it'd be nice to take a look.

Helpin' out souls is what I do. I don't mind chattin'em up durin' the whole thing, gettin' some practice with my water powers while I'm at it.
no subject
[ She has no clue what a Grim Reaper is, but anyone who cares about dead people’s feelings is a good person in her book. ]

However, my handle refers to a chimera. [ He attaches a link to an image of said chimera. It's chewing on his hand. ] They are not edible.
I'm curious what you mean by "an acquired taste."
[ Also, all this to say yes he will happily help with meals. ]
no subject
Ah, um, I like to experiment a lot, and back home I was learning to cook with monster ingredients — meat from monsters and so on — and I know not everyone is on board with that, so…! But I can also cook perfectly normal food — at least I think it is — so I’m sure together we’ll be able to feed everyone!
no subject
Including a dessert would be good, too. Something to look forward to after working hard.

Levi
[ bit of an understatement, really, but apparently he's being laconic. no need to explain all about how the dead are close and dear to him on a personal level, just because he knows so many of them -- not here specifically, but as a concept. ]
[ he will show up at the place once this goes down, though. ]
no subject
[ She’s obviously not going to press him, but her default assumption is always that whoever she’s talking to is a good person, and since he also wants to lend the dead a helping hand, she’s just going to assume he has similar experience to hers, or is a fellow… What did Hijikata call it? Right, a death mage! Anyhow, she might bring it up when the day comes, but not just yet. ]
no subject
[ He's only a death mage in the sense that people around him keep dying though. ]
un: Castorice
no subject
[ She seems to be making a wrong assumption about why exactly Castorice wants to keep a distance from the other helpers, but her heart’s in the right place, at least. ]
no subject
Thank you. I appreciate it.

I can survey the area and draft plans and send them to you.

[She's a good person who cares a lot for the ghosts; that deserves support! Besides, she saw how good he is with his earth magic by now despite being a summer power holder. He'll work hard!]

[Come October 4th she'd be completely indisposed with grief, so it was important to make sure her friend had trustworthy people helping in her place.]

You can count on me. But don't you want to come too?
[Spending the day with others might distract her from her grief.]
no subject
And anyway, getting anything done in that form is annoying.
no subject
I'll stop by at your place that evening when the work is done, alright? Or will you be out?
[He still thinks it'd be better for her to mingle or at least be among people out in the city than stay home and dwell on what happened!]
no subject
Mind picking up take-out like last time? I doubt I’ll be up for cooking.
no subject
Yeah, that sounds good. I'll surprise you.
[He'll get them a big box of fast food from wherever he passes through on the way home from the graveyard. He doesn't yet know whether he'll have to stop by at home in Sunwaning or elsewhere.]
I think we can wrap this up unless you want to move to inbox?
[Between Ren having moved back in, Stelle's Tuskpir helping her get a good night's sleep, and Hijikata's delivery of food... it seemed she'd be well taken care of when she needed it most.]
🎀
[Hopefully, they'll be done with the work by then! He'd stay longer if needed, but 8:00 PM is already late for dinner, and he wants to ensure that Eva has a nice end to such a sad anniversary. He'll tell her all about how the undertaking went! (Spoiler: It'll be a success!)]

[Vampirism is a hindrance to partaking in many social activities, but she'll still support Falin's worthy endeavour as much as she can!]
