01 🐎 video c/o Konoha

[smellslikemountains]

[Those who know Lunatia's local centaur lady will probably recognize Konoha's face as the video cuts in... way too close up at first. But thankfully she pulls it away from her, and, with a few taps on the lens with her finger, turns it to reveal... another centaur! A much bigger, buffer, and male centaur, but yeah, that sure is a sweaty fellow with a bunch of lumber?]

Gonta! Here you go, it's working now! All you have to do is talk to it as if you were talking to actual people.

[For a moment, Gonta squints at it with his one good eye. And all of Lunatia gets to enjoy an eyeful of nearly shirtless buff sweaty one-eyed horseman with a large plank of wood over one shoulder.]

Uh...

[He was about to talk, but it suddenly feels awkward. He isn't sure... is this people? This is so surreal... but his eye just goes for Konoha and he clears his throat, trying to compose himself.]

So... uh... the machine things. They stopped working well when those jellyfish came. I smashed some. And the Prismals took the rest away. Uh...

[By the great mountain, this is so awkward. He scratches the back of his hair. The video sways a little in Konoha's grasp, and a little "Mmm, that's good! Now you just have to ask!" can be heard before- oops, there's some fingers in the shot, don't mind that.]

Alright, alright...

[Gonta composes himself, straightening his back, looking every bit a majestic, strong jinba with a long piece of hard wood.]

Without the machine things around, we need help to complete our new home and farmstead! I'm hoping to get this all done before the month ends. I'll be hoping for your assistance.

[And he bows respectfully towards the camera. The camera bows too???? Until Konoha remembers she's holding it and so her bowing too probably isn't a good idea, straightening back up and turning it around way too close to her face again.]

We'll pay you some, of course! And I'll make meals so you don't have to worry about that, either!

[One more bow and the feed cuts out halfway through Konoha's "Good job, Go-"]

[ In replying to this guy, Gonta once again has his nose up against the communicator, probably under the impression he has to do that to reply, not aware that his face was also being captured. ]

You've got experience? Good! We'd certainly need more hands that know their way around tools. We still have some sliding doors and floorboards to be placed. And I'll need help finishing construction on the second floor of our storehouse.

[Oh goodness, he's in very close. So much so that Dakki actually leans back a little... even though that, too, is not actually necessary for this kind of communication.]

I do! I've not done very much woodworking in a while, but I'm sure it'll all come back to me once I get in there.

I'm a little surprised there's space for a farmstead here! Are you somewhere on level 2?

[smellslikemountains]

Yeah! The Greatmoon Groves. There's good farm space here, but Konoha and I only have a bit of it now. It's enough for us and for a bit of business, though.

[ Ah, if only Sha Gozen could see them now... ]

[castcure]

You can do a lot with a little, I imagine! Aah, I'm already looking forward to seeing it!

[She seems to catch herself getting a bit too excited, though, and settles back.]

...er, well. Whenever you're ready to set to work, please contact me and I'll be on my way!

[smellslikemountains]

Of course of course! Honestly, you can swing by any time. I've already begun working.

((ooc: I'm handwaving any work on the farmstead due to my slowness this month, unless you'd like to play something out.))

[castcure]

Oh! Wonderful, then! I'll... oh, wait, I've things to finish up today...

I'll be by tomorrow, then!

((OOC: handwaving's fine for now! Future farm threads await!))

[smellslikemountains]

((OOC: Looking forward to the future! Hopefully I'll be properly off my slowatus this month.))
