*It had been several hours since the dance lesson, and Mastema had gone back to "The Mind" quite some time ago. After a time, and perhaps a journal entry too, Nana had gone back to the warehouse and started her work on the piano. It took 3 hours of sanding to get all the previous paint off of the piano and bench. Nana had to use a larger grain of sand-paper to sand down the piano until it was even. Now she had the task of filling all the cracks, and dents with the wood filler. Nana takes a couple of tooth picks, and begins*
x.x
Ahh..... ug..
*There was a bit of sawdust in her hair, and paint flecks lying all around. Nana even had a few flecks on her cheek, but she didn't notice. On a positive note, her feathers were starting to come in again. They would still need a few days though, before her wings looked the way they were before Xol's little visit*
>_<
Black hole.... cursed things.

Approaching the Citadel quickly and quietly, Hidjie's presence being masked by scanner disrupters. His weapondary systems were powered down, and his scanners on the fritz because of his disrupters. With his only option of survival was to move, if he was attacked, he routed all idle energy into his manuverability. Hidjie's body could now, quite litterally, dodge bullets. He only prayed that Mastema's mechas didn't spot and kill him...

*Nana finished filling all the nicks on the lid of the piano. Now for the legs*
>_o
Almost....... There!

*the piano legs were in generally good condition, so they didn't take too long to fill. Now for the piano's under-belly. It would take as much time as the top had*
x.x
Ack! so dark, I hope I get everything...
*Being so late, there were no lights in the building. Nana resorts to making a tiny energy ball to light up her work area, it casts a pale blue glow*
^^
*Nana would spend the rest of the night, and part of theearly morning filling the piano and bench, then sanding them down again to make sure they were even*

*Nana has been taking a break for a while now. She'd finished everything an hour or so ago. Now for the waiting. Nana would start painting the piano and bench in about 10 minutes. They would take hours to dry, before she could re-coat them, once she finished with them. After that, she'd work on the tuning*
*.*
Oooh... Ahh...

*The first coat of paint had finally held fast to the wood fibers of the piano and bench. Now it would need a second coat to seal everything in, and then it would need a good polishing. Nana was using the scrub, to shine the ivory keys. She would be done in a minute, and then she could start painting again. There was a bit of paint on Nana's fingers, and on the left side of her face. She'd worked very hard to restore the old piano*
*huff*
^_^;;;
Heh... Almost done... *huff huff*
I'm almost done....

*Nana had finally completed her task. The last roll had been rolled. All that needed to be done now was to wait for it to dry, then tune. It would be perfect*

*There had been more than ample time for the final coat of paint to dry. Nana uses the scrub to put new lustre on the metal ended feet of the piano and bench, before righting herself. Two snaps are heard; Nana's back being put back into place, and a crick being taken out of her neck. She'd have to meditate later, or she'd definitely be feeling the strain on all her muscles from working for 2 days straight, maybe even nearly 3. Nana's hands felt rather raw to her because of this*
--_--
Nhhg. Just a little more... then a shower...
*Nana certainly needed one. She was covered in paint, and sawdust, sand, and whatever else there was in the warehouse. Luckily the smock did it's job, so her robes were spared from any of it. Her shoes would need a bit of tending too though*

*Nana had been tuning the piano for several hours, it had to be perfect. She pings the tuning fork on a pipe nearby to get a tone, then tries the key on the piano to see if it needed changing. Depending where on the pipe Nana pinged, the tone would be different. The ping tones corisponded with the piano keys. Striking the pipe evenly would yield the best results*
^__^
Mmm...

*Nana had finally finished. The piano was perfectly tuned, and refurbished. She'd later gone back to Thanatos's workshop, and left the box there with everything she'd had in it. Nana did bring back with her a large sheet. After pushing the bunch under the main bridge of the piano, Nana tossed the sheet over the entire thing to keep it dust free. After that she'd made sure all the entrances where locked, then gone back to her room for a shower. It took her most of the night to get clean again. The paint was especially daunting. After it all, she flops face down on her bed for a few minutes. Fifteen minutes later Nana finally starts to move again, she sits up, then wanders over to her computer console. She'd write another journal entry then meditate until morning*

*The crick in Nana's neck and back had stopped throbbing, but Nana's muscles were sore. She'd still need several hours more of healing meditation*

*Nana finaly raises her head several hours later, she had completed her healing. She pushes back the chair and stands. Looking over to a nearby clock, Nana blinks*
...that time already? I should get going...
*Nana was going to take the 3 books back to the library, then go exploring for a fabric and wedding supply store*

*With the books safely tucked back into their places in the library, Nana headed off into the east section of the citadel. Exploring a little on her own as she went. She'd gainned a little courage, and things had finaly become silent lately*

*Nana had returned the box of items several hours ago to Thanatos' workshop. They would still be in the box, no more than 3 or 4 meters away on a table close to the door*
