[ 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. ]]

[Felix raises a brow as each comes off. Where did Flayn even manage to get all of these...?]
Do you need help with that?
no subject
Determined, this one.]
No, I should be fine, thank you. It is only a little damp cloth.
[It's a lot of damp - oh, fine. Flayn keeps going, gently laying out lengths of fabric on chairs, until it's very clear that she's going to fill up an entire table's worth.
At least the last few, wrapped directly around her, are dry. And her clothes are dry! If very, very wrinkled.]
no subject
Any preference for how these are cooked? [Felix asks as he begins to gut the second fish. One each for them should be enough, and judging by the barrel of processed fish they already have, they won't be hurting in terms of supply any time soon...]
no subject
[No point in being picky when they only have so much, after all. Also, Felix, don't let her cook. For your health and safety.]
Will you need any help?
no subject
[Guess who doesn't know of Flayn's dangerous kitchen misadventures...]
...Though I guess it wouldn't hurt if you could get a fire started.
no subject
[She's happy to come over and give the stove, or...whatever they cook on in the dining hall...a once-over, checking to see if there's any fuel or things to start an actual fire with.]
Hm...there's some wood...it looks fairly dry...
[Are...are there matches? Let's see if we can find matches.]

[Felix peers over from where he's cleaning up.]
I usually use Thoron to light things up, though Fire should be more effective if you know it.
[It's dangerous, but it works!]
no subject
I do know Fire! Let me try that...
[We're just going to step back a bit once the wood's in there, aim very carefully, and...
fwOOSH
There's fire in the stove now.]
Wow...!
no subject
...Good. You have some nice control right there.
[It would have been easy to set everything on fire, after all.
Grabbing one of the pans, he sets it over the fire, waiting for it to warm before he throws in the prepared fish.]

[Can't make it to Gremory without mastering Reason, after all.]
