Comrade, in the factory, we had these... tiny blocks, tiny plastic coloured blocks, and they all fit together, to make towers and streets and cities

Barron looked over at Prefect's little concrete cube. He was going to comment about how they didn't need any more foundations for the city, but it didn't seem out of place with all the other ones Prefect had made. Barron was seriously considering using them as a bridge foundation. How else was the community on the fifth step going to be connected with the rest of the civilization on the landing?
"We should make some boats." Barron agreed, drinking quite a bit straight from the bottle of gin he had with him. It made the lego blocks he was holding a bit sticky, but hey. It wasn't like they were building any more skyscrapers at the moment.
"We should make a harbor." Barron said, considering how long it would take. "You can sort out the blue blocks."
Sorting was the most boring part. Barron thought that Prefect might enjoy it.
Prefect loved sorting the blocks! Scooping up two large handfuls of lego up from the pile, he began the process of meticulously colour coordinating them.
"Have you ever been to a harbor, Comrade?" He asked amicably, pausing in his sorting to take another swig of the gin, "They're like... all lines, and shipping containers, right?"
He looked to Barron for approval of this theory, he'd never actually seen a harbor, but he wanted to help make one.
"Yes." Barron said, despite the fact that he couldn't remember if he'd ever been to a harbor. But Prefect's description sounded right enough, so Barron wasn't about to contradict him.
"You should make some fish too." Barron suggested. "They'd be the wrong size, but that way people would know what the harbor was."
He offered the bottle of gin to Prefect. He was looking too sober.
"They would be," Prefect said, "Symbolic representations of many fish, which is why they'd be so large."
He accepted the gin, and took a long drink from it, before dragging his sleeve across his mouth and handing the bottle a little unsteadily back to Barron.

"Or whales, Comrade. They might be whales."
Blue, red, red, yellow, green, blue, blue, yellow, green.
"You should make a clock."
Suggested Prefect, still sorting the colours, though it was getting progressively more difficult a task.
