( open )

[gevurah]

Date & Time: 22nd to the 24th
Location: a synagogue in the city
Characters: Kate & whoever else volunteered to help and/or anyone who wants to see what is going on.
Summary: can we fix it? I hope so.
Warnings: ???


The exteriors of the synagogue aren’t too shabby surprisingly, but the main door needs a good push before it can be shouldered open properly and it creaks loudly as it swings on its hinges. Bits of the walls outside are chipped and discoloured, slowly but constantly being eroded each day in the never ending rainfall that blankets the city.

Inside the building is still as cold as it is outside; windows missing entire panes or broken bits still clinging to the frames, still sharp and dangerous enough to cut deep into one’s flesh if they’re not careful enough. Wherever the windows are, cold wind blows in, and the floor beneath the sills are damp and around the edges have some mold growing. There’s also pieces of glass laying on the floor.

There’s dust and broken bits of wood everywhere. Wooden beams that are supposed to support the building lay half rotting around the building. Some of them are in the way if people want to go further into the building, so they’ll need to be carried out outside by a few helping hands. The air in the building is stuffy and unpleasant, even with wind passing in every now and then.

Honestly, it may feel more depressing inside the worn down building than it does outside in the rain that never ceases.


( ooc: feel free to tag in however as you like! characters can work together, do their own clean-up, take breaks, whatever you want. )

[Kang happens to pass by right as one of the beams goes his way, but luckily with his height, it smacks him in the chest instead of the head, making him take a couple of steps back with a grunt.]

Careful there, you'll knock someone out.

[kneecaptain]

[ Well, he can't exactly turn to look without making the whole incident worse. ]

Sorry.

[ And he means that. But… ]

To knock someone out, I think I'd hafta try.

[governorkang]

Better to be safe than sorry.

[His voice is clearly not human, and neither are his footsteps, with claws scraping against the floor.]

Need some help?

[kneecaptain]

[ Okay, clearly not human guy, he can't see you so well because of the giant beam blocking his view, but he's still a little unsettled. Not so unsettled that he's going to do anything drastic, or anything much at all, really— he'd dealt with not human enough to know that kinda thing is rude. But, he thought, not for the last time, that this was really above his pay grade. ]

I guess if you wanna take one of the ends, it'd be easier to navigate.

[ He's not always great at accepting help, but he's trying this good behavior thing. ]

[governorkang]

[Kang notices the slight discomfort, but doesn't say anything about it as he easily takes the other end and stabilizes the beam.]

Lead the way.

[kneecaptain]

Alright.

[ It's not like they have very far to go, and Bucky's happy to walk in silence to the place where they've got to lay the beam down. After a while of being quiet, though, he tries to make a joke. ]

At least it's the right kind of stiff, huh?

[governorkang]

It's in remarkably good condition compared to some of the other beams lying around here. Half of them have started to rot from all the rain that gets in here.

[Guess who doesn't get the joke.]

[kneecaptain]

[ Not getting the joke actually puts Bucky more at ease. He loosens up, a bit. ]

You're a funny guy, huh?

[governorkang]

[What did he say that was funny? Or had the human been making a joke before?]

Not usually, no.

[kneecaptain]

[ He chuckles, obviously amused, not explaining why. But when he says his next words, they're friendlier. ]

C'mon, there's more beams to move inside.
