[ 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 . . .

[HAHAH CLAUDE YOU'RE. SO FUNNY. SUCH A FUNNY MAN, WHAT JOKES. Flayn giggles, knowing that surely he just means it as an expression, but, uh, haha, a saint huh? A saint huh????]

Oh, surely you jest! It was only a hammer.

Even so, thank you. I was sure that roof was going to give me trouble all day.

Do you think it will truly take you so long to fix?

[Flayn does not have a concept of how long it would take to repair a roof to the point where it won't leak.]

It depends. I rather reinforce it than wait for a bad storm to come our way.

[ but they are up on the hills and bad storms tend to be mostly rainshadow, but who knows in this place? ]

[Exactly, they might get surprise blizzards or something for Not!Christmas.]

Hm...is there anything else you might need from down here that I could pass to you? Anything that might make the process easier?

[ seems likely. ]

If you could grab a few more nails, that'd help a lot.

I shall see what I can find!

[And she scurries off! Hopefully to find nails that are not rusted through so badly that they practically crumble in her hands.

...

Where are nails, anyway. It might take some time for Flayn to find them.]

[ that's fine, it gives claude more time to check the roof and see if he's missed anything. ]
