Everything mentally halted when the small voice reached her. Help? Whipping around back to the giggle bush, Alma flitted back. Once she was close enough, Alma called to the bush, "We need your help, Pip!" Absolutely the giggle bush was vital to this process. The little bush had the remarkable ability to grab her focus and yank it to itself.
The easy task showered itself out and gave her an idea, "Alright, I need as many rocks as you have access to, and keep an eye on the wheel if it looks like its going in crooked let us know?" Was that enough of a task for a bush, or too much?
With her head tilted she had to accept it was good enough for now and back-flipped back to the rock pile to get back to work.

Pelagious smiled as Alma helped him pushed the wheel. Grinning and pushing it with all his might, he almost chuckled as they lifted it a few inches. Allright! He had put on some muscles. Then as she suddenly let go, without warning, he realized how weak he really was. Flailing a bit before falling a** first into the water, he sighed and decided to sit there and watch. As Alma, whom he suspected of taking illegal substances since no one could be that busy without some manner of help, flitted around instructing people to do various jobs. Everyone except him. Normally, he would have been peeved to have been ignored but eh. His arms were tired. So he sat and watched the other pae do all the work and lightly massaged his muscles. But that was all interupted when the rocks began flying. "What the..." he cried, ducking. Well, attempting to duck as the rocks flew out and began hitting him along the head and shoulders. "HEY!!! THAT HURTS!!! HELP NOT HURT!!!" he shrieked at the little evil bush. Damn weird a** things he encountered.....

Darius heard the request for the waterfall and facefaulted. He could manipulate soil, not stop a massive waterfall. Everyone seemed to have some task, and as much as gathering rocks was needed, he decided to do another task first. He turned and walked across the bridge to the other side aiming to even out and flatten the area the excited pae who seemed to have taken charge had indicated to make the building she wanted to do easier.Still holding Cinnamon Skylie looked around at the commotion around her, noone told her what was going on and the quick pace of those around her made her move to the edge of the group not too far from the bush. Soon she saw little pebbles flying from the bushes towards the pae who was being bossy and she giggled. She nearly dropped Cinnamon in her putting down of the cakethief and clapped at the voice from the bush "Can I help yous too?" she asked the bush

A bush, just a few down from the other, began to rustle. Soon pebbles began to fling out of it as well, "ME TOO!" it cried. "I HELP!" Some of these pebbles might have made their way particularly towards Pel. That one was funny when rocks hit it! ... annnnd bored.
A few of the bushes began to rustle as it seemed to move close to its partner, "Ya, they need all the help they can get." it said to Skylie. A little orange hand popped out and dropped a handful of rocks into hers. As soon as it appeared it disappeared back into the bush and rustled on to another bush on the other side of it's companion, leaving Skylie to finish the job.
"These Pae are sooooo silly." it whispered to the other.

"THEY'S HILARIOUS!!!" The first bush wiggled in amusement. "They needs all the rocks!" The voice was happy to confirm this for Skylie. "They're going to make a bad wooooord."
A momentary silence settled over the bush before a word was whispered out conspiratorily. "Dam."

Dear Jesus, the forces were against. He nearly drown trying to guard his head as the rocks seemed to double suddenly. He didnt notice the other bush. Just the giggles that doubled as well.
"Look! Umph! I'm sorr- urgh. Sorry. I didn't mean to..umph...i didnt mean to affend ya." He paused for a moment as one of the rocks caught him in the eye. He was oblivious to anyone else.
Now crying, he continued to beg. "I'm sooooorrrrryhyyy!!!"

Skylie was overjoyed when the small hand appeared from the bushes and gave her some of the items they were helping to give to the bossy adult pae. She giggled blowing some bubbles and she took started tossing the pebbles towards all the adults in the same direction of the others. "I'm helping I'm helping! YAY!" she cried out happily amoungst her giggles.
Cinnamon on the other hand, not in the line of fire was sniffing the edge of the bushes with curiosity.

The second bush gave off a long and drawn out gasp, "You said it! I'M GONNA TELL!"
"BAD WORD BAD WORD!" it screamed loudly to any and all within the area that might hear before stopping suddenly. The bush stopped moving but others shook viciously as the presence seemed to move closer to Pel.
Again, another little orange hand popped out of the bush and patted him on the knee. "There there." it said. "You did good." Though what good it was talking about, one couldn't be sure. Either way, a pile of rocks were placed in his hands so he could be helpful again.
The bush was stilled once more as it took off in another direction again. It came back to the first bush and once more took up its chanting, "You're gonna get in trooooooubleee!"

"NUH UH!!! You can't tell! If you tell, I'll tell that you were sneaking ALL the candy. I saw you do it! If you hadn't been sneaking candy, we wouldn't have knocked this wheel.... umm.......YOU DID IT!!!!" The bush started throwing pebbles at the other bush.

Happily working, it wasn't until a stray rock knocked her upside the head that Alma even noticed what was going on. Gleefully she accepted the rocks as they went flying. More by happenstance than observation, Alma's eye fell on Pel. Why was he crying? Oh, that many rocks was probably not a good thing. Clearing her throat she remarked to the bushes and the child "Rocks go here, not on him, please and thank you!" Waving around a half formed rock brick as evidence of her point, Alma pointed to area beyond her feet.
More bushes, oh that was neat.
Satisfied she'd told the bushes what to do, she went back to work. Until the chorus of 'bad word' rang out. Huh? What bad word was used and who used it? Curious enough she started off back towards the bushes. The argument was heard but the only thing of merit was Pel gaining more rocks, "Great job!" Directing her praise to her hardest worker.
During the time, the land around her project got flatter, only by focusing on Pel for those moments did she notice. Oh that was handy.
Rocks, catching one again brought her back to the task, "Alright, we will fix this, keep givingn-not throwing-- the rocks to him or placing them with the others. You are doing a great job!" Ask for rocks and the bushes provide.
Looking between the Pip bush and the Not-pip bush she called out, "Hey! Rocks over there! Doesn't matter how it happened, we'll get it fixed!" It was as great project too much to pass up but her workers needed to get focused!

Hearing the yells about bad words Skylie paused her helping, she saw the bushes now throwing pebbles at each other not towards the bossy pae. "uhm, you nots helping no mores?" she asked them not quite understanding the fight in front of her. She still had a few pebbles in her own hands.

Chal stopped in his tracks since Alma announced she had a different plan for him. The male took a deep breath, calming and smiling at her small show of affection. It was something, even if she had failed to hear anything he had said since her mind had started working on the wheel. "Thanks Alma, you're doing well." Chal patted each of the two mules on the muzzle before separating them from their trade cart and leading them to the ram team and the fae who led them, he had never seen ram before. "Hey," Chal said, "Thanks for letting us use your animals." He could tell that they were traders as well who had been quickly roped into helping, it was best to show them some gratitude. This wasn't even his village, but it was family and it was Alma. "If you wouldn't mind roping our animals together. I can jump in the water and get this rope around the wheel and hopefully get this done quickly." He spoke to Eudora with a polite smile.

Pelagious stared at the little bush as it deposited rocks into his hand. "Thank you?" He meekly replied to the pat, since he was now utterly confused. He watched mutely as the little bush tottered off to argue with the first bush.
Yup. Screw validation karma. He was done helping. And he was sore. And he covered in rocks from the wasit down. Which isnt how he wanted to spend hos day. He had wa....
Pelagious paused and stared as the Alma congratulated the bushes. And himself. Had she no eyes? Did she just not see the pelting of the rocks?
He just looked at her like she had lost her mind. What the hell was she on? Cause quite frankly he needed some.
Shaking his head in dismay, he silently began to dog himself out of rocks.
Yup. He was going home. Screw this.

With a look of utter dumbfoundment, Koit felt like he'd hardly blinked before things were moving. If nothing else, he was apparently no longer in trouble (thanks to that blue guy), but he still didn't really understand a thing that was going on.
At some point, he'd started holding out his arms and catching rocks in them, his eyes otherwise wide and simply preoccupied with watching what was going on with the talking bushes.
Things in the bushes?
Talking. Bushes.
Woah.
