LP whistled as she brought back the watering pale. "You mean you haven't started packing the dirt into a pile yet? Carl you want this done don't you? We need to pack, water, add more dirt, and do it all over again."

"Oh! Sorry - I sorta phased out..." And indeed he had, much to his embarrasment. Carl began getting whatever wasn't intergral to the outer structure of the hole and began lumping it together, gettint it situated to be compacted into a solid mass while more was continually added on to be assimilated into it.

"Like I didn't notice." LP rolled her eyes and took and dipped her finger in the water and waited till carl was at work and dropped a drop on his head and whistled.
"Let me know when you get the loose stuff packed."

"Right, just don't drench me with the bucket!" Not that she would, right?....Right?!....Oh boy he hoped Willow had gotten her sense of humor from some one else. Carl began forcing the earth to come tight together, making it solid and sturdy while it continued to grow.
He did this until he'd run out of material and signalled up to LP. "That's the last of what's down here."

"... What bucket?" She asked having slid it back while he was working and looking all innocent.
She chuckled and then nodded. "Alright," She reached into the hole offering carl a hand up. "Heree we'll wet this down and then shove some more dirt into it for you to pack.

He took it gladly and pulled himself out of the hole, situating himself nice and away from the edge while watching her prepare it for the next installment of earth.

After having dumped the water onto the pile Carl had just finished, so that it got damppened and would slowly harden as it dried she got ready to dump more dirt into the pile. "Hrm I think we need a hose pipe...." She said watching it dry rather quickly.
She let down the next bit of dirt into the hole. "In we go?" She asked looking at Carl.

"In we go. And yeah, a hose might do some good if we let it add water gradually as I worked." He moved closer and waited to be lowered back into the hole, knowing it a fools errand to simply jump right in to the very large crator. "Just set me down and I'll start getting the rest of it packed tight while you get whatever you think we need for the job. Is that alright?"

LP nodded thoughtfully and helped carl back into the hole. "Okay I'll go get the hose pipe. Maybe I can find something with a valuve I can turn on and off so you don't get drowned. I think all I have on it right now is one of htose spray nozzles that make it sorta rain."
She wondered off looking for some tools to work with.
Willow twitched and finally murffed waking up. It wasn't really dark but it late enough in the eveing that she could've gotten enough sleep anyways. She walked slightly drowsey over towards the lake part and looked down to where Carl was. "Where's hte island?" She asked looking at it slighlty puzzled.

Left alone, the sollitude wasn't a lasting thing as Willow approached to survey the work. Carl waved up at her, the othe hand holding him steady against the hardened lump. "It's getting there...we just have to build it up first. Did you sleep well?"

Willow murfed as she combed out her hair. "No, not really. That stuipd kitten gave me nightmares." She said glareing towards LP's cave.
"Anyways..... Why did you guys just dig around it??" She asked puzzled looking at the lump. "I left you pelenty of room."
LP dragged the hose pipe over. "Oh morning Willow." She said with a grin.

"We wanted to finish it quicker, and this way we can make sure the island is just right! It won't take too long to get it up and about - and it gives you the chance to change anything before it's done." A good enough excuse in his book for the fact he really had forgotten about the island until LP had shoved the large shovel into the prelaid area. Still, Willow wouldn't be too terribly miffed, right? She still would get her island - and got to watch him work even more.

Willow shurged and murfed. "WEll I'll see you guys later." She said as she headed into the temple to grab a bite to eat and skitter off towards the shop.
LP Shurged and let the hose pipe into the hole. "It's got a valuve to turn it on and off. I didn't turn it on full blast either so you should be able to handle it." She watched Carl. "Need another shovel full of dirt?" She then looked a tthe time. "After we finish another two or three shovel fulls we need to clean you up and you need to head off to bed. I'm sure you'd appericate a bird bath right about now." She chuckled.

He nodded, preparing to pack together the last of what they would work on today. The mound had already grown high and the sun had begun to sink slowly towards its ow nresting place at the far horizon. They'd done good work that day, so the bird hadn't even thought to fret over his attire so much as he had about getting the last of it all done properly so that Willow would be pleased in the end of it. Lp did bring his attention to the dust, dirt, and mud that had gradually crept onto him though, and he looked up at her with a sheepish grin. "I sure could use one about now...throw me down another shovel and then I can hose off before bed."

LP watched and then tossed down another shovel full, getting some, perposily on Carl's head. Whistling she hummed and waited for the bird to finsih up. "So How's the weather down there?"
