Who: Any
Where: At the base of the great mountain
When: King's Year 199, early autumn
What:

[The great mountain is the largest mountain on the content known as the First Land. It is a marker that can be seen over most of the lands of Pyxis and Canis for its inspiring height. The crystal city, in all of its marvels is built into the western side of it, perhaps a fourth of the way up in a valley between it and the nearest mountain.

Its peak is obscured by the clouds, and no traveler or climber ascending to its great top has ever come back alive, leading most to simply accept that it was a dwelling place of the Gods and thus, no place for man or his ilk.

Today, at its base, a priest is pouring over detailed construction plans that seem to shift and expand under their own magic as he pens in the countries and supplies as they come in.

Great flags of black are set in an enormous circle, stretching out of sight in an enormous circle, and far into the lands that are considered Pyxis.

A great deal of shelters are set up, most tent at the moment, within the circle. Food and water getting the first stone structures erected and thus far are without guard.

A young Ophiuchus of Caduceus cut greets you as you approach, and waves you to the table that the hooded, red lined priest sits.]

His excellency has requested you report directly to him. Please hurry and send your representative.

[Tent de Lacerta]

[It turns out knights are also pretty good at building things. Cobra works nearly all night, starting at dusk and finishing at dawn, when the mortals are getting chased away by the rising sun. Then he heads to the Lacertan common tent, stitched together to make one massive community tent where Lacertans can eat, drink, and tend to their own in the comforting presence of their fellow citizens. There are, of course, other tents for private uses, but for the most part Lacertans are happier in company than not.

As dawn comes, wishing as he does every morning that water could be wasted for little conveniences like a cooling shower.]

[When Allen isn't tending to those in need of healing, he's helping to build. He spends his recovery time wisely, close with his family and loved ones. And the best part about our BIG AWESOME COMFORTPILE TENTS is that we have room for more than just citizens, so Allen doesn't even have to always choose one tent or another. Why bother if you can get them all to collapse in one spot sometimes? It was especially satisfying after working hard together all day.

Allen's just heading back too, and heads for Cobra when he spots him]

Good morning, father.

	[is against the wall where he keeps a rolled up cot and his clothes, pulling on a shirt after the sweat has dried. Only way to keep his clothes in somewhat decent shape is to do his work in a pair of ratty short pants and change afterward] Allen. How'd it go today? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Better. Ebbing. Everyone is beginning to adapt, so exhaustion and overexertion is far less a problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But the nights are only getting hotter. I wonder if they really think we can finish in time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[nods...] We have to. I doubt everyone is working so hard thinking it's impossible. That includes you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not impossible. But I'm not sure I would place the odds in our favor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Saying anything was in our favor would be a bit strong, yes. But dying around an open, unfinished shell of our salvation is far too sad for anyone to accept. Perhaps our pride won't allow it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[o, u mortals. so youthful and full of belief] All things considered, we've been fortunate so far. I would not have thought it would take the Old Woman more than a day to wipe us out if she chose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
