In person because you know

[Normal people wouldn't just interrupt their boyfriend in the middle of doing something. Normal people would say something before acting.

But this is Speedwagon and he is not normal and never will be. Which is precisely why the pooka is being as obnoxious as possible and leaning against him despite whatever he's doing.]

You got a minute? Something's been on my mind after all of the... apocalypse nonsense. [And the dying part, but he's leaving that out specifically.]

[intercalaryninja]

[Speedwagon is not annoying to Tsukikage but he is a little confused. Tsukikage figures that even abnormal people would know not to carelessly lean against someone who has his arms in the walls, working on disaster-proofing the various circuits connected to the lights and the generator. Tsukikage pauses what he's doing and tilts his head.]

I can take a break. [He pulls his arms out and brushes the dust off them.] What's the matter?

[speedweed]

[Bold of him to assume he understands a damn thing about electrical anything. But at least he's not getting himself in more trouble than that.]

Mostly just... I'm not entirely sure how all of it works here [he means Ryslig in general] but it feels a bit jarring to know that something can be taken away from us so quickly as it had? Like what would have happened if things didn't go back to normal?

[intercalaryninja]

[He should probably know getting shocked hurts. And he shouldn't mess with Tsukikage while he's working.]

Oh? [The man gives a long sigh.] ... We would rebuild. It is what we do always do when we are pushed back. And since things did go back to normal, we prepare for the worst, since now we know it is a possibility. [Hence his work.]

[speedweed]

[One of those he does understand, the other he understands but is also an idiot. Which is which, it's a mystery.]

Can you really prepare for something like what happened? Nothing seemed like it would be safe from any of what happened. [He's not trying to be doom and gloom, he just doesn't... really see how it's possible.] Nor do I particularly like feeling like I'm useless in these regards.

[intercalaryninja]

[Well, he's doing a poor job of not being doom and gloom.]

You can make the preparations so it is not as bad next time. I am under no illusion that I can do it all myself - or make much of a difference. This is just to tide us over until I can get the coinage to get a spell to protect the Hill House.

[speedweed]

[Doom and gloom is being practical, isn't it?]

Mm, I suppose that is something. [How is a draped rabbit being doom and gloom working out for you, Tsuki?] Do you want the help? I can maybe at least be somewhat useful for physical labor at the bare minimum. [He's... trying? Sort of?] If I had the coins I would certainly help towards that, but strangely I haven't seen any around me since I returned.

[intercalaryninja]

[And Tsukikage isn't the type to give up without a fight. Despite usually being a pragmatist, he's surprisingly idealistic in that way. Although, having a doom-inclined rabbit is a little annoying when he's on top of him. However, Tsukikage doesn't mind enough to get him to get off.]

If you would like. I could get you to help me acquire the materials to support the roof - we do not want the Hill to collapse on itself again.

Mana's coins appear in random quantities. I only have a few myself. But do not worry - the Hill House is my responsibility. The fact it is not secure is a failure on my part and for me to fix.
