Sixteenth Theory [Mass Action]
[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~!))

avoid people he knowshelp a stranger.]You look lost.
[Action] 1/2
Thaaaaat would be because I've never built anything complicated before in my entire life.
[And then he looks up at whom was just speaking.]
[Action]
He also recognizes you from that one thought bubble of Don's. The one where you were, as Don would put it, "kicking his shell" at a sparring match.
So he gives you a smile instead of asking whom and what you are.]
You're Don's brother, then?
[Action]
[He stoops down and picks up a nearby shovel.]
You could dig holes for the posts if you want. I'll take over what you're doin'.
[Action]
[Relief! Minato can do that.]
Minato Namikaze, by the way.
[And he offers to trade the hammer for the shovel.]
[Action]
[He takes that trade then kneels on the grass, smoothing out the blueprints and studying them carefully. Luckily all the wood's been cut down to size. He'll just start framing up pieces of the roof until those posts are up and ready.]
[Action]
[Minato starts digging the holes, measuring them out properly without looking at the blueprints. He doesn't need to, already having this one memorized.]
[Action]
Make sure you're diggin' on the chalk marks. We got it all mapped out.
[Action]
Been double-checking as I go, just in case. [He's good at telling distance with his eyes.] They're all just right, but better safe than sorry.
