addressed to Thorne, but open to all.

To the Summoned of Thorne,

I have a proposition, a humble request, or perhaps an opportunity -- depending on how you choose to view it.

As you likely know by now, Kell and I have taken up residence in the city of Nott, which (as you also likely know) continues to be short on resources not as freely available there as they have been in the castle town. Recently, a plan was put in place to renovate the old hospital in Nott, which has been in disrepair and requires various physical upkeep, as well as staff.

If any of you should find yourselves with extra time you wish to donate, it would be well appreciated. If you have experience with architecture or building, that's great -- if not, that's not a problem. We need people to carry supplies, help make and bring meals for those doing the manual labor, or really just anyone who can hold a hammer and follow basic instructions. If you want to volunteer, work will be found for you; there are always never-ending lists of tasks, and never enough hands to take them up.

The weather is cold and wet now, but we're getting started on the interior. If you're willing to cast warming enchantments, that's also an option.

I can list more ideas if needed, but feel free to offer your talents. Surely, uses will be found for them. And I know you're all a talented enough bunch.

One more thing -- thank you to all who volunteered their time, coin, or gifts to the orphanage last month. The matrons have asked me to pass along their gratitude, and the note that they would continue to appreciate volunteers there too, as they don't have enough adults to mind the children at this time.

I know this has been a long-winded note. Thank you for your time.

Our door is always open to friends. Please don't be shy.

Yours,




(( ooc: feel free to handwave your character helping out at any of these things, incorporate it into your own logs icly, etc! this will be an ongoing project spanning at least a few months, so also definitely hit me up ooc if you want your character to take a more hands-on or leadership approach, or if you have any other ideas!!

the location is an old infirmary in Nott. NPC locals will be working on it, as part of the project is to provide jobs for people who need them. ))

I'll come by to help in any way I can, Rhy.
thedevilwhorose: (and witness your word)

helping

[personal profile] thedevilwhorose 2024-02-01 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you ever considered bullet points.
magicalarchaeologist: (brights mile)

[personal profile] magicalarchaeologist 2024-02-01 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey I know someone who has been excelling at enchantments. Surely he can assist in this venture.
magicalarchaeologist: (idk)

[personal profile] magicalarchaeologist 2024-02-01 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
My magic and the rest of me are at your disposal. I'll bring people with me if they don't see this.
thedevilwhorose: (see how the faces fade)

[personal profile] thedevilwhorose 2024-02-01 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
First off: no

Second off: typography is not magic
thedevilwhorose: (I will wait)

[personal profile] thedevilwhorose 2024-02-01 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No. Are you joking?

You're probably not joking, huh.
magicalarchaeologist: (so did i)

[personal profile] magicalarchaeologist 2024-02-01 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Third off: yes.

Fourth off: you're very familiar with heating enchantments.

A wonderful idea, Rhy. It seems that your move is already bearing fruit — I'm glad to see it.

I'd be happy to contribute. I can move supplies and likely help with some of the manual labor of the construction efforts as well.

Just let me know whenever you need supplies transported.

buildings aren't what i'm used to working on but i can probably figure out the blueprints if no one else can.

is there a way to help without going in the hospital? asking for a friend

[ definitely not asking for a friend ]
ordinar: (♛ 011)

[personal profile] ordinar 2024-02-02 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I could help deliver meals. You know, in case anyone wants to make food for the workers but doesn't have time to bring it over.

How many people have one of those enchanted logs we got from helping to put out the fires? We could pool them together.
ordinar: (♛ 010)

[personal profile] ordinar 2024-02-02 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
The bikes are supposed to be ready soon, right?
ushiri: (pic#15839948)

[personal profile] ushiri 2024-02-02 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
We're still a few weeks out on producing it.
ordinar: (♛ 003)

[personal profile] ordinar 2024-02-02 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Well, they'll still be rebuilding the hospital then, right?
[Probably???]
ushiri: (pic#16565797)

[personal profile] ushiri 2024-02-02 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they'll still be needing deliveries by then.

Sorry, I meant to get it all finished sooner but we missed the earlier Nocwich window.


[ He may be partially using this whole thing as an excuse to meet with someone. ]

I would be happy to assist however I can. Physical labor may not be my forte, but I would gladly lend my developing cooking skills to the cause. And I'm certain we could easily get Clive involved, as well.

thedevilwhorose: (with my fingers to the bone)

[personal profile] thedevilwhorose 2024-02-02 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

Bullet points are something sane people use in writing so that everyone reading will more than likely actually read what was written instead of glazing over a wall of text.

An example:

Suggestions for helping:
  • Carrying supplies
  • Construction
  • Make and bring meals to others working

  • See, you see why it's called a bullet point, it looks like a bullet hole.

    [that is not why they're called that, they have no relation to actual bullets]
    You could also y'know just... make a list in general. Really. It'll genuinely help you out.

    [personal profile] funbreaker 2024-02-02 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
    That's surely a jest, you calling me a strapping lad.

    Forgive me for saying so, but it doesn't come as much of a surprise that you don't have specific experience in this area. Still, you have already done enough earning the trust of those like Lyle Vela to even make this endeavor possible.
    blackeyedprince: (this is bs)

    [personal profile] blackeyedprince 2024-02-02 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
    Hey, I still have mine somewhere! I completely forgot about it. Thanks, Wille!
