[ It's been a few days since the first arrivals trickled in to this iteration of the monastery, and there's been some improvement to the area, at least.
Which is fortunate, really, because the clouds have finally decided to open up and let out a torrential downpour.
The grass out in the courtyard almost immediately becomes saturated with water, squishing beneath people's feet as they step through it. Drainage in the monastery is a real problem in some parts, particularly near the marketplace area. Slowly, as time passes, pools begin to form, though some of the remaining debris serves as a decent buffer between the water and whatever crates merchants may have left behind. It may be a good idea to salvage some of that, though it's not likely to be ruined thanks to said debris. In general, it's likely a rude awakening for any new arrivals.
Of course, some would say that rainy days are the best when it comes to fishing; some would even say they're right, given how the fish seem to be out in droves at the lake. If one didn't mind potentially getting soaked, they could bring in a real haul during this rainstorm. The dining hall is not nearly as well stocked as it had been in its heyday, so this could potentially be beneficial for the community.
For some, it's likely best to stay inside and find shelter from the rain. Thankfully, most of the monastery roofing seems to be intact, save for a few sizeable holes in the cathedral. Still, that doesn't mean there isn't a leak here and there, so watch your step, particularly in the dining hall and the second floor of the dormitories as well. It might not be a bad idea to put a few buckets out to catch all that water . . . ]

[[ MORE HOUSEKEEPING, hey what's up guys:
- please PM this journal if there are more setting changes you'd like to be noted! i.e. if your character did some sprucing up in the greenhouse, just let me know and I will update the setting page accordingly.
- as noted on the "mod" plurk, I'll try putting up open posts roughly once a week going forward. it'll depend on how things are going, no big. ]]

[Though in Dimitri's case, he probably does a wee bit more looking back than he should. He makes quick work of the knives, leaving the whetstone and the honing rod on the counter. Whoever ends up cooking will need them, and... he would like to hope that they won't have another use for blades while they're all stuck here together.]
There we are. I hope they come in handy. I think I have adequately drenched the floor at this point, so if there is nothing else you need assistance with, I had a couple of other things I wanted to attend to.

Wow . . . yeah, no, these look great!
[ She turns back to him, smiling. ]
I think we're all good here. And don't even worry about the floor — I was going to make sure someone mopped it while everything's all wet around here.

[Being wet makes it that much easier to catch a chill, which is something best avoided even under good circumstances. With the infirmary in a sorry state, staying healthy is more important than ever. Dimitri bows, a gesture that looks particularly ridiculous with him looking so bedraggled. At least his smile is still princely...
...because he practiced it so often, of course.]

[ She gives him a wave at that, heading back over to her table with the towels. It was very important work, after all — can't have people catching colds and all! And if the task of sitting there and handing out towels falls on her shoulders, well, who is she to ignore the call? ]
