[ well! here we are, outside of the theater. not inside it, no, but outside.

there's the chopping sound of metal on wood, and following the noise brings you to... alfyn! he's taken off his green vest and folded it neatly to the side with his satchel, swinging the axe expertly and breaking down a few of the already broken benches into smaller pieces. the weapon isn't technically meant for this task, but it's all that he's got - so he does with it what he can.

some of it's been chopped into rectangular pieces, maybe a foot by two feet. as he gets a few more pieces done, he expertly swings the axe down with one hand so that it lands carefully in the dirt, bringing his other hand up to wipe the back of his wrist across his forehead.

when he notices someone's come along, he offers a crooked, if tired, smile.

Hey, Aerth. Just uh. Just tryin' to keep busy.

[ he nods his agreement, because he's pretty sure that all of them are restless, but points to the smaller pieces first. ]

Markers, for our departed friends. Lucas mentioned wantin' to tend to their bodies, which we probably can't do, so maybe we can do somethin' else for 'em. This is about all I can do, though. My handwritin' is terrible and I'm no cleric.

[ and then he kind of - waves his hand at the rest. ]

Mr. Daan and I were talkin' about makin' a clinic and all that, so storage for supplies. And maybe we can make a garden of our own so we don't have to keep askin' for our masked friends to let us use theirs.

I still have some of the flowers from mine. Stuff I couldn't make into concoctions. Could lend 'em to the cause, if you'd like.

[ he smiles a little, something that's hopeful for their rotten futures. if they can do at least one nice thing for their deceased friends... it would be nice. ]

For growin' stuff... I dunno. This place has plants, so the soil's not dead. But maybe by makin' our own garden with some of the wood to elevate things, keep us from accidentally walkin' all over 'em, we could ask our masked friends for some actual soil. I'm only kind of - [ wobbles his hand a bit ] - at the plantin' part of things, but I know it's on your pyre page and some other people know more than I would.

[ he's also wondering if there's a wait to revive them, but without access to magic he's not sure where to even begin with that. but... at least they can keep their spirits alive in this way. ]

Maybe we can just have little projects like that? I use a lot of flowers in my concoctions - yarrow's the base for my main one, honestly, so I'm gonna be usin' a lot of it - but some more food options, just something to bring life to this place...

Things to leave for Aventurine, Mr. Boothill, and Death. It might help keep us from losin' spirit.
