[People can build bonfires and burn effigies all they want -- some guys (lowercase G) have work to do!

One of whom is Brock. He has work to do.

That work is, of course, patching up the huge fuckoff hole in the side of his dumb cabin. He is out in the woods right now, though he's more staring at the huge fuckoff hole than doing any sort of repair. How does one even fix a hole in a log cabin. Does he need to knock down the whole wall ...

Making a frustrated noise, he flips his journal open.]

I lost my lumberjack. Does anyone cut down trees for fun, or do I have to go find an axe?

-- and Crowley. I hope you got a steering lock for your goddamn car.

Not a whole lot, I guess. Looking forward to the next expedition... I haven't been doing much that's new for a while, I guess.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a nice change of pace, I guess. Everybody needs a break every once in awhile. You'll go crazy otherwise.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Hm. I feel like I'm kind of running out of good ideas.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Might be a good thing, you know. If you can't think of anything to fix, it means nothing else here is broken.

[payback.livejournal.com]

I guess I should just figure out something different to focus on.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

People are always trying to come up with hobbies here. Might not hurt.

[payback.livejournal.com]

I've always read a lot and I'm not usually bored. I just like having a project.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. Always nice to feel useful.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Can anyone help with your project now?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Project -- you mean my cabin? Sure, I could always use the help whenever it gets shot to hell or ... has a car driven through a wall ...

[payback.livejournal.com]

... Goodness, is that what happened?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Kind of bullshit, but I'm dealing with it ... kind of ...

[payback.livejournal.com]

Can't you just ask the castle for some lumber that's ready to use?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah ... I try not to wish unless I have to, you know? [a pause ............ because cutting down trees is a lot of work, sob] But I might have to.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Mm... are you using logs for the walls? Or boards?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Uh, logs. [so it's a lot of wood pffffff]

[payback.livejournal.com]

At least you don't have to work them down all flat like that. Aren't there other tools you could use to help you? [Ask for a chainsaw, Brock.]

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Well, I have a handsaw and some axes ... [Chainsaws are cheating!!!! No, he's just too dumb to have thought of that.]

[payback.livejournal.com]

Oooh... well, to be honest I dunno how many people around here work with their hands these days. I don't have much experience doing that either.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Ha. Yeah, I'm into that kind of stuff, so. Probably on my own in that case.

[payback.livejournal.com]

... Good luck, Brock.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

I'll be alright. Thanks.
