IC; repairs

[write_it_in]

[There's a novelist sitting outside, leaning on a cabin wall out of the sun and smoking. The roof of the cabin is caved in, as if something landed on it... or it landed on itself, upside down. There are some building materials in a pile off to the side.

He appears to be waiting for something.]

[And that 'something' shows up pretty quick.]

Hey!

[trump_apple]

Oh! Well if the beams are still okay, then that makes it easier. Let's keep the ones that aren't broken, and just replace the ones that are. And we can climb up on there where the beams are.

[write_it_in]

Or... not.

[if you follow his gaze back to the cabin....... the roof has been torn the rest of the way off. there are bits strewn around.]

[trump_apple]

[HAHA O WHUT]

Oh dear. This might be more difficult.

[write_it_in]

....why?

[trump_apple]

If it's just the beams, then we'll have to be careful walking up there. It's easy to fall.

[write_it_in]

I think it's just me you'll have to worry about. I'll go slow.

[trump_apple]

Just don't fall, I can't catch you right now. Now, do you have a measuring tape?

[write_it_in]

To--- Speed can. Don't worry.

[goes and gets the tape, tossing it to you]

[trump_apple]

[Takes the tape and scrambles up on to the roof.]

Write down the numbers I tell you, okay?

[write_it_in]

[got it!]

Go.

[trump_apple]

[He measures a few things and calls out the measurements: length of the beams, the spacing between the beams, etc. When he's done he hops down and goes over to the pile of woodstuffs.]

Okay, now we just have to make sure these are the right size, and we can put them up there. Did you get a saw?

[write_it_in]

[he has two hacksaws]

Power tools are apparently scarce.

[trump_apple]

It seems so. But this should work.

[Now there's the task of actually cutting it :|a Satoshi's trying but lol how do I cut wood?]

[write_it_in]

Here.

[takes it, sawing fairly efficiently... he clearly isn't used to it, either, but is strong enough]

[trump_apple]

[watching.]

That's harder to do than it looks.
