Your Tax Dollars At Work

WHO: Reeve Tuesti, Open
WHERE: Temba
WHAT: Road Work
WHEN: All of April
WARNINGS: N/A

For those who hate the noise of roadwork, well, they will have Reeve's pity and apology later. For now there is work to be done. And the form of that work involves a very large machine that makes a bit too much noise and hot scents. There is nothing to be done for that part.

Though anyone who wants to complain can probably talk to the man and cat standing beside it, wearing hard hats (where did Reeve get one in Mini's size), discussing plans and a map.

Or perhaps one might find them when the machine is still and quieter, where Reeve stands securely on the edge of one of the holes in the road, lowering a rope into it at a slow pace. Clearly he's intent on the work, playing out the line with a constant level of caution.

And then there's the end of the day, as the sun is growing low, and Reeve is shutting down the machine while going about and checking material levels in it. Behind it a new stretch of road cures. Every now and then Reeve looks over toward it with clear pride. Another sign of Temba being restored to something like order. It's what he's here for.

"If you wish. It may make things easier," Felwinter says with but a brief glance over his shoulder.

"Probably for the time being, yeah. If anybody asked the Agrii for some, they might get peanut butter wine," Radley smirks darkly.

Radley is actually surprised they haven't done something like that yet.

"Let's hope they don't," he says.

Radley smirks a bit. "Probably a good idea. We never know if they might be listening."

Do they listen constantly? Do they take shifts?

"Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of," Radley sighs. "It's like this movie back home where this guy's whole life is being broadcast on TV and he doesn't know it."

"Yeah, right now I don't think we have much choice," Radley says with a grim smirk. "They probably watch our 'show' all the time."

"Just keep trying to fix their mess so we can get home, probably," Radley says.

Radley laughs. "I haven't been, so much, but at least I've had a lot of experience with doing it."

Radley nods. So true.

"Yeah. That's happened to me a lot."

He steps back. "Well, I'd better let you get back to work, and I have things to do to make sure I'll be ready tomorrow to help out."

He smiles.

Radley nods and waves. "See you then!"

He heads back to the diner.
