[Now that deadly trees have stopped falling from the sky...]

[Donatello has clearly been at the site for hours already. With the help of his brother Raphael, he has marked lines in the dirt where each structure should go, and set up a table in the middle of the area. On the table are blueprints for each of the structures, held down with rocks. The one for the seesaw array has a note on the corner: Crew Chief - Sunny.

Along with the blueprints is a torn-out sheet of journal paper, bearing the following instructions:] Please choose a crew and help in whatever way you can.

The project manager is DONATELLO. [Beside this is a not-very-good drawing of a mutant turtle, with an exaggerated purple stripe across his face.]

The chief of materials is SOKKA. [Beside this, an even-worse drawing of a human ... boy? ((Feel free to use the lousiness of this drawing as an excuse for hilarious cases of mistaken identity.))]

For those who would rather not be involved in the construction itself, there are also the following jobs:

Equipment Mover. You may have noticed that our tools and materials are not on-site yet. We will need a crew of people to move them from the smithy. *Not everything is heavy! Please volunteer to carry at least one thing!

Refreshment Runner. We will need a few people to periodically go to the shops, bring back food and beverages, and serve them to the other volunteers. *Great job for kids!

Blueprint Checker. For each structure, there should be a designated person to look very carefully at the blueprints, and make sure that the structure matches them at every stage of construction. *Good for the older and wiser among us!

First Aid Provider. Construction work inevitably leads to injuries. If you are knowledgeable about first aid, please keep an eye out for anyone who needs assistance.

((Free-for-all log! Comment-spam okay; thread-hopping at the discretion of the muns. Donatello may barge into your thread to check your progress, and I'll try to have him respond in a timely manner if your character is flagging him down. Have fun~!))

Neither would I. Was it just me, or were there a few extremely hot days last week?

It wasn't just you. I was sort of hoping it wouldn't start getting that hot so early.

I don't know what the weather here is normally, but - [Wiping his brow at the memory.] - I hope that was not a precursor to Lucetian summer.

That would be pretty bad. [ ... ] Not as hot as Alabasta, though, I think.

I don't think I know where that is.

It's a desert kingdom back on my world. Really big. And hot. Took a lot of getting used to.

There were a lot of really cool animals there, too. [ ... ] Well, once you got used to them, I guess. Some of them were jerks.

... The animals were jerks?

Some of them. Like....Kung-Fu Dugongs. Well, they're really only jerks if you lose to them in a fight, though. Luffy won, though, so they followed him around trying to learn how he fought. [ He does look distinctly amused by that. ]

And there were these birds- they would all pretend to be really hurt or dying, and then they kind of ended up taking all our food. I guess they were just doing that because that's what they do, though. Still didn't like it.

... Kung-Fu Dugongs. [Never mind that he and his brothers regularly refer to themselves as Ninja Turtles, this is just ridiculous.] How is that possible? They don't have legs.

Yeah, tell me about it. Kind of hard to figure out what happened until it was actually over. [ Yep, he was indeed defeated by creatures without legs. ]
