Former Echolls Mansion, Monday, August 11th

Today, the construction site was oddly quiet.

This was because so far, none of the contractors from NPC Construction had managed to find their way to said construction site.

There was just Xander, looking slightly confused, his clothes a little the worse for wear after tromping through the Preserve for half an hour before he finally decided to give up and head home... and ended up here.

"So, um. For anybody who actually made it to work today? Congratulations. Put up some drywall, don't touch the bulldozers, and you probably don't wanna head offsite for lunch. Unless you were looking for an excuse to slack off in the afternoon, in which case go for it. ...I should probably have used my inside voice for that, huh."

Beams are up, there's even sheetrock in place. All we need are actual, you know. Walls.

Ooh, walls. Walls are your friend, and so Bridge is busy with the putting up of some.

Hey, you know what helped with putting walls up? A bunch of Zs, that's what!

Luckily for you, one of the places Xander ended up when he was trying to find his way here was J,GoB.

For anybody who didn't wander off to the bathroom and end up at the Town Hall, there's still walls to go up.

Though given the state of the island today, you were probaby expecting to be ogling an art exhibition or something.

Granted, shirtless construction workers might qualify.

This was not the living room of the Iklest Koala cabin. Unless someone had done some FABULOUS redecorating.

Momoko turned around, only half expecting to see her alcove right behind her where she was sure she had just left it. She didn't, though, and so she turned back towards the construction site, shifting the armful of snacks and comics with which she'd planned on spending quality time.

"This is very, very weird."

"You think so?" Bridge says, tilting his head at the drywall he'd just put up. "I thought I was doing a pretty good job."

Momoko blinked. And blinked.

"Ah! Bridge! Hi!" She smiled at him then looked at his handiwork. "Uhm. It's a very nice wall, yes. But it's not the right one. It's supposed to be the wall of my cabin so I can read."

She shifted her arms so that a bag of chips was facing him. "Snack?"

Sometimes Bridge takes things a bit too literally. "I never say no to snacks," he says gratefully. What? Walls, even friendly ones, were hard work. "So it's not just me then? I thought maybe I was thinking too much about other things and not paying attention to where I was walking and so that's why I kept ending up where I wasn't supposed to be but then apparently the same thing happened to Xander and now you, and just. Weird."

"See? See? It's weird! I thought it was because I was new, but I don't think I'm so new that I can't find my way to the living room from my alcove since I've been there today already once and I haven't been back here since I last talked to you so I don't think I'd get them mixed up. Especially since the living room has a couch and no Bridges."

She turned to set her things down, but, "hey, wasn't there a stump here last time?"

"I think that was a one-time only deal," Bridge says. "The stump, not your living room having no mes."

"Hmm. Really? Are you sure that it hasn't maybe wandered off and gotten lost as well?" She set her snacks and comics on the ground and found a soft patch of grass for herself. "I might as well stay here. No telling where I will end up if I try to leave and go somewhere else. Looks like the construction is going well. How have you been?"

At least the trek through the Preserve gave him a chance to work on the wedding vows without people hearing him mutter.

Unless you define the small Teal Deer who followed him here as 'People.'

Xander was currently testing whether Teal Deer liked twinkies.

Early in the morning, there was suddenly a very confused Murdock at the construction site. It was supposed to a simple walk for Houston, you know, out the front door, down the street ...

...then here.

Blink. "Uh..." Blinkblink.

Houston only seemed confused for all of two seconds before heading over to check out the new person.

"Hey, there." Xander bent down to offer the dog his hand to sniff while craning his neck back up at the human. He assumed. You never knew. "And also by you."

Houston gave Xander's hand a thorough sniffing and an eager.

His owner however... still looked confused.

"Hey. Xander. Uh. Are you real"?"

Xander patted the dog on the head, then looked back at Murdock. "If I'm not, then somebody's gonna be really pissed when nobody pays for the tuxedo rental this weekend."

"Well, alright," he grinned a bit. "Just checkin' you understand. Never can tell somedays. Tux? You got somethin' goin' on?"

He might have missed the mentions of a certain event.

Houston went for another good lick ~~like he would have last comment if the mun had actually included it, duh~~ of Xander's hand.

"Bowling night," Xander answered with a straight face, casting a grin down at the dog, then wiping his hand on his jeans.

"Bowlin' night? In a tux?" He shot Xander a look of 'yah right'. "I may be crazy, but I ain't crazy enough to believe that one, dude."

Houston went off to go sniffing around the site.

"Don't get lost!" Murdock shouted at him. "What the heck is up today anyway?"

Xander's penultimate construction post. O.o
