An Echidna in Temba

[thelastechidna]

WHO: Knuckles and everyone
WHERE: Temba
WHAT: Wandering around, trying to find ways to help
WHEN: March
WARNINGS: None

Knuckles was definitely frustrated that the original plan of Temba might not work out. He could see how it might not, and why, but it was still discouraging. He had opted to go back there and has been pretty much just wandering around, seeing how everything looks now and wondering if there's any point continuing to try to put anything together.

A lot of his time ends up being spent dealing with the wild animals coming into the city and trying to help about the missing Frondlings. At least he's had practice doing the latter sort of thing when he had to look for lost animals back home on Angel Island.

"Starting up and working down," Reeve says with a shrug. Seems the most logical to him. "My legs and arms are strong today, so I'm going to start with that."

[thelastechidna]

"Great. Let's get to it then." Knuckles is ready for replacing walls.

[plate_builder]

If that's excitement, he'll be glad for it.

"It's actually sort of satisfying in the end, to get the whole thing done. I hope I can show that."

[thelastechidna]

"Oh yeah, it's always great to show off a new project." Knuckles had kind of liked that with his elaborate traps. Maybe he could understand Eggman in a way because of that.

"Do you have the tools here too or do we need to get them?" He looks around for them.

Reeve gestures over his shoulder at the backpack he was wearing.

"A lot of initial ones."

[thelastechidna]

"Okay. So what walls are coming out first?" Knuckles asks.

[plate_builder]

"On the top floor we're going to, the second room to the left, and the third on the right. One needs the non-plumbing related wall shared with the bathroom redone due to water damage, and the other needs the wall that supports it from the next room."

They won't be hard to take out, but of course they need to be done carefully so the new braces can be put in properly to hold them up.

[thelastechidna]

Knuckles memorizes those directions and nods. "Okay."

When all the wood is in place, he goes to the water-damaged wall to inspect it and see the best way to remove it.

[plate_builder]

Reeve is happy to see the focus of the Echidna and his willingness to learn. Guidance will always be something Reeve can give.

"First we find the support beam. I'll show you how to use the tools for that and then how to do it without a tool. Then we'll remove the parts of the wall around it just enough to get our new brace in. Ready for the real hard work?"

[thelastechidna]

Knuckles nods, paying close attention to all Reeve is saying. "Let's do it," he agrees.

[plate_builder]

Reeve smiles and gets some gloves from his pack.

"Gladly. IT will be an honor to work with you."

Totally fine, LOL. I don't know either.

[thelastechidna]

"Same here," Knuckles says as he gets ready for a good day's work.
