Date & Time: Backdated late June to mid-July
Location: All about the city
Characters: Celena and Open!
Summary: Celena sets herself to helping with repairs and constructions about the city and properly stretching her wings.
Warnings: None as yet.

[A] Helping with repairs.

For nearly half a month already, Celena had been hard at work repairing what she could, offering her assistance to any who would accept it. There was still much to be done but it was to the point now where she could focus beyond the immediate short term necessities of the natives effected. Putting her services out for those who still needed assistance in their repairs.

[B] Constructions abound.

Having taken time from repairs Celena finally set to the construction of her own abode, she needed a place where she could work relatively undisturbed. Having found a suitable location not far out from the initiatives Hold, a rather large ruin well beyond repair, Celena had set about salvaging what brick, metal and timber she could before clearing the rest. Something she had become quite skilled at during her works on board the Transmigration 9.

Without assistance the task would take some time indeed, thus she put out a call for assistance with the matter, it would be a good chance to get to know those she was to work with should any take up the call.

[C] In flight.

Every morning near without fail Celena's draconic form would grace the skies above Exsilium. Whether simply flying high above, enjoying the air beneath her wings or swooping almost daringly low over the rooftops as she honed her skill in this new city. She did miss having taller obstacles to weave her way between but she made do where she could.

After her flights she would oft rest a while finding building tops that would support her weight set down upon and watch the goings on of the city for a time.

[B] Anything else!

Celena chuckles softly as she follows his gaze across their work before dipping her head to his question. "Indeed, it looks like I may have managed to find a measure of extra help for heavy lifting and otherwise,"

"Would help spread the load," she looks across to Billy at that point, "I'm curious, do you have any particular projects in mind yourself currently, apart from your work here?"

"My projects?" Billy thinks aloud, pulling his knees up and propping his head on them in thought.

"I want to build larger shields. We really need better protection, right? More buildings need to be defended for when we're attacked next."

Celena dips her head to that, "Indeed, the lack of protection currently over all is somewhat worrying, shields like your own would be a good protective measure,"

She gives a thoughtful look for a moment, "Such shields would work well for the potential hardened shelters I intend to look into, resources willing,"

"May I see the shelter plans?" Billy asks, twisting to look up at her again. "I need to know how big my work needs to be."

"I have a few preliminary plans, from similar shelters built in time on board, adjustments will have to be made of course to account for location and resources," Celena dips her head to the request however, tapping her crystal with a thought to display one such preliminary design. The shelter in question being a squat building with a similar footprint to her abode.

"Depending on location and the ground beneath, additional sub-levels can be constructed to account for the greater population in a given area. Perhaps even allow access to the Catacombs, in either event shielding to the upper areas should prove sufficient,"

"It can be done. I'll have to sap resources from other plans to do this, but safety is the most important thing right now. Don't worry---I'm backing you up here."

Billy sighs then, sinking back and watching the grey sky. He feels about ready for a nap. "But no matter how serious it is, it's easier to think when you feel secure in a home, right?"

"Thank you Billy, I'll endeavor to replace what resources are used to the best of my ability," she dips her head gratefully to his offer.

Celena follows his gaze, before looking to him, "Indeed, having an abode to return to, even in a situation like this can help focus and think, a quiet place to work and think away from the immediate troubles,"

"And you'll have it. If our luck holds out, so will a few friends."

Billy smiles, watching movement in the distance as he thinks. "Speaking of friends...have you met any promising ones yet?"

Celena dips her head to that, "Let us hope that it does then,"

"Indeed so, I have met and spoken to a number of promising individuals," She smiled in turn, "As diverse a collection here as onboard it seems,"

"Anyone I might know?" Billy wonders.

"Many of those I have spoken to have been new arrivals themselves, particularly in the last batch of transports, so it would be hard to say," she gives a light smile to that.

"Perhaps this project and those to come shall attract more,"

"I hope so," Billy agreed, cracking his knuckles. "It's really starting to get lonely around here."

Celena cast a light smile across to him at that, "I shall have to make sure of it then," she inclines her head before setting herself down, "In any event, Billy, I'm sure you could use some proper rest, you've already done a great deal today, I don't want you wearing yourself too thin,"

"I will. So...I'll probably head up to bed. I'll be back to work tomorrow?"

Billy grins and stretches, smiling over their work site. "It'll look great soon. I'm sure of it."

"Indeed, sleep would be wise. I shall see you tomorrow then," she grins and dips her head in response.

Smiling as she followed his gaze, "It shall come together nicely, before long I'm sure,"
