make things anew [Closed]
WHO: Kate Kelly
WHERE: One of the earthquake-damaged houses
WHEN: Backdated to after the winter meeting
OPEN TO: Raven Reyes
WARNINGS: TBA
STATUS: Closed | Ongoing
Kate's offer at the winter meeting of helping had been genuine. Genuine enough that she's even forgone her usual skirts in favour of the denim overalls, although the rest of her attire remains the same under her coat. She's grateful for the coat, and for the woollen hat their captors had seen fit to give her last box, and for the gloves. Even though the gloves lack the tips of their fingers, which while normally she could see some use of, they aren't much good in this weather.
She stamps her feet a little to warm up her legs as she looks at the house, and then back over at Miss Raven.
"It looks sturdy enough, from here," she says. She's talking about the house. Before any sled building, they need to find the parts, which requires going inside. "I think it was just cracked too much to live in, rather than fall in on us."
Kate'd rather be inside, out of the wind. Even tearing apart cabinets, taking doors off their hinges, seeing what could be used as runners, all of that potentially and probably frustrating work is better than nothing. But on the other hand, having a house collapse on her and Miss Raven would be terribly annoying.

sorry this is late!
She keeps the thought to herself. As far as she knows, no one has a missile aimed toward this house, and if they did, she doubts it would be launched because a farm girl and a Zero-G mechanic happened to open the door and walk inside. (Although, sometimes her ego questions why that's simply not enough of a threat in the first place.)
Looking at the house, Raven sees nothing but a structure she wishes existed on her ground. It may look a little foreboding, but it happens to be better than nothing. "All it needs is a little tender love," she says, peering at it as if it is her project. Keeping herself on track, she remembers she's not here to build a house out of ashes, but a sled.
"Come on," she says, beginning to walk, "might as well give them something to talk about if it does fall in on itself."
