[Dictated!]

Alright, so anybody who's interested in building that cabin thing I talked about, come over to Caritas and we'll start planning it.

I'm not picking up your tab, though, so bring your own fake impossible money.

[ooc. even if your character hadn't expressed interest before, feel free to show up now anyway & tag yourself in! questions re: this whole debacle can go outside the caritas thread. the filter is samson-speak for "evil characters," by the way, fff]

Electrify the fence.

Thing's big enough the moat's just gonna slow it down.

[He yanks out a cigar and lights it up.]

Still, shouldn't take that long.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Are they seriously discussing electric fences and moats? Seriously? Jesus christ. Why ... did he think this was a good idea ...]

Right.

So, you're on lumber detail, I guess. I don't ... actually know what you other guys are doing.

[mal-addict.livejournal.com]

[Mal shrugs] I'm here for my own amusement. And perhaps for lifting and carrying, if I'm feeling generous.

[Spike's telling you what angle to put the TV, they've been over this...]

You needed someone to help pick the spot, didn't you?

[molotov]

I am here to offer motivational commentary.

[ Jet is not typically late to affairs such as these, even if he was only roped in because of a certain bounty-hunting partner of his. In fact, he usually makes it a point not to be late, because goddamn if someone shouldn't show up on time like they're a reliable human being. Kind of an old habit.

Well, a man has his exceptions, too. You know, when he has to stop and get directions as to where he's supposed to go. So he'll just sort of walk in and find a wall or something to lean against like he usually does, and try listening for an idea of who what he might be dealing with. Don't mind lurky mclurkerson over here. ]

[Logan gives him a glance, but lets someone else roll out the welcome wagon. That's not his damn job.]

Fine, I can get the wood ready in a coupla days.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Great, so basically Logan will be the only other one doing something useful -- unless Spike pointing at the ground and saying 'here's good' counts as useful? Jesus.]

Alright, good. That'll work out fine.

[Meanwhile, Brock is eying this new dude who just kind of strolled up, because he can't really recall hearing anybody else who was interested in this thing. Maybe he's just somebody who overheard the plan and wanted to ... help out? Hrm.]

[mal-addict.livejournal.com]

[Well, while you fellas act all shy manfully, Mal will wave Jet over]

Come to join in on this wonder of construction, have you?

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

[Spike will just wait for the gratitude to come rolling in for bringing someone who actually knows something about... work ethic. He wasn't positive he'd made the offer enticing enough for his partner to come, but it has to beat whatever magical thing is going on in the castle.]

You're late, Jet.

[molotov]

[Molotov just lights up a new cigarette and swings her legs back up to put her feet on the blueprints once more.]

[just-a-cycle.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it'll be some kinda wonder. [ ... He's already starting to wonder if he'll regret joining in on this. But it's too late for turning back now. God knows what'll end up happening with Spike on a team unsupervised. Over he strolls.

Oh, also, Spike: ] And you left crappy directions. Be grateful I turned up at all.

[ This is so not his fault, what are you even, you whippersnapper. ]

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

[ Logan thinks introductions are overrated, but he looks the new guy over too. What a motley crew they've got here. ]

What else do we need to figure out, exactly?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

["Motley crew" sure is one way of putting it, bro.]

Seeing as I guess I'm the only one doing the building ... unless somebody's feeling, uh, generous ... [SIDE-EYES MALADICT] I don't think there's anything else.

[Nodding at Jet, now.] Unless you got building experience?

[mal-addict.livejournal.com]

[Mal sees those side-eyes and shrugs]

We shall have to see. Maybe if you ply me with decent coffee, I might be willing to help out.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

[Spike gives a very sympathetic shrug to Jet. He's used to getting blamed. If you want to say that's the reason, he's not going to blow your cover for you.]

Just need to pick up the hardhats.

[molotov]

Why bother? You all seem to have sufficiently hard skulls.

[just-a-cycle.livejournal.com]

I've got some. Mostly just repair-work. [ He tries for the jack-of-all-trades way of living. Whether he succeeds really depends. Jet shrugs. ] If this's out of my league, I still know how to follow directions.

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

Been awhile, but I've got some experience with that too.

[Glances at Molotov. Har har har.] I'd hate for anyone to put an eye out.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Brock wants to ask if Logan means he has experience in following directions or what, but ... man, are you flirting with One Eye over there? SHIFTY LOOK.]

Right. Let's try to avoid that.

[mal-addict.livejournal.com]

Let's try avoid bleeding full stop, hmm? I can do without the temptation.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

[They all seem motivated enough. Spike slumps down in his chair, sort of side eying what little he can see of the blueprints, half listening...]

Temptation for what?

[molotov]

[Molotov just smirks at Logan.] I would hate it if anyone else looked as good in an eyepatch as I do.

[And then she gestures at Maladict, turning her attention toward Spike.] Just look at her. She is obviously a vampire. [Molotov helpfully makes little fang gestures with her fingers. She's had several beers, so she's slightly less cold with her bitchiness right now.]

[just-a-cycle.livejournal.com]

[ ... Jet is so not touching the vampire thing. Have at. ]

[slicesanddices.livejournal.com]

[Logan glances at the vampire with some interest] ... Thought somethin' smelled off.
