Welcome to Gaia! ::

Matsuya stood and brushed off his robe. "That sounds like a fair deal." He popped his knuckles and started to walk towards the workers. "I don't suppose you gentlemen have any rope I can use to rappel off the roof, do you?" One of the men looked around the cart they had brought and produced some from a small box towards the back. He handed it to Matsuya and gave him a small nod.

"We usually use this for ourselves, but you can have it. Just do us proud and make this tower look great again." The men then started to carry the cart away towards the marketplace.

That's when it hit Matsuya. The tower was something more than an office. It was a symbol of hope for the people of Kirigakure. If the tower was in shambles then so was their confidence in the current regime. That was interesting to Matsuya. But then again, hope was a fickle thing in itself. Matsuya turned to Rios. "Well, then let's start." Matsuya trusted Rios enough to make the correct tactical decisions. Not many were to be made on the window or the shingles, but that didn't really matter. Matsuya had a few plans for the siding. If he could angle the siding down at the correct angle, then anyone trying to climb the tower from the side wouldn't be able to find a handhold. They simply wouldn't be able to climb it. He slung the rope over his shoulder and started to walk through the tower towards the roof. When he reached the top, he hooked one of the climbing hook onto one of the rails and wraped the rope through his belt loops, tieing it tight at his front. He looked out over the village, the mist obscuring most of what he saw. This place was his home, he'd die to protect it. So fixing this tower seemed like an honor to him.

Matsuya eased himself over the side of the rail. Fear wasn't something that came naturally to him, so this vertical drop didn't bother him. He kept the bundle of rope tight in his hand. He'd loosen it bit by bit so that he could still climb. Then it hit him: he'd have to keep climbing the tower with a piece of siding in his hand every time he needed it. He sighed at his own tactical mistake and started climbing down the building, letting the entire rope fall free. He'd just climb down to the bottom, grab his supplies, and climb back up.

Once he reached solid ground Matsuya looked through the stack of supplies for a hammer and a box of nails. He tucked them into the equipment pouch in his robe and grabbed a piece of the siding. This was going to be an ackward climb. He had to hold the siding with one hand, climb with the other, and once he reached the site of his work he'd have to clip the rope off so he could hang comfortably to work. Matsuya looked behind him and saw that a few workers were meandering about. "Hey, guys. Mind carrying the siding onto the roof? It'd make my job a lot easier. Sorry for the misdirection. You can take the tools and stuff to, if you'd be so kind." The men nodded and started to carry the things to the roof. Matsuya handed the piece of siding off he was holding to one of the men and then started his climb again. This was he wouldn't have to worry about falling. It didn't scare him, he just prefered to keep his bones intact.

When Matsuya reached the top again, the workers had carried the things to the top. "Thanks guys." He grabbed a piece of the siding and started to rappel his way down the side of the tower. When he reached the point where he'd be working, he clipped the rope off and hung there for a second catching his breath. This was the most work he'd done in a long while. But this was by far more fun than napping all day. Matsuya set the piece of lumber against the tower's side, angling it down ever so slightly so that it would be impossible to get a handhold on it. He held the board in place with one hand, the other reaching into his robe for a nail. He stuck the nail in the hand holding the board so that he could simply hit it where he wanted, then reached for his hammer. He hit the nail into the board, nailing it against the tower. One nail down, about another fifty or so to go. Matsuya smiled as he continued to work on the board, hammering a few more nails into to make sure it was secure. He enjoyed this restoration. It gave hope to the village. And that was all that mattered.

Matsuya slowly made his way back up the building. Once he reached the top he swung himself over the railing. He at once saw Rios surveying the roof. That meant he had the window done already. Matsuya smirked, grabbed another board, and made his way down the building. He repeated the same procedure as before. This board was placed right above the first one. It was easier to get the angle down now that he already had one in place.

Matsuya ran his hand along the two boards, making sure he couldn't hold a grip between the two. He smiled again when he couldn't. He sighed, looking at the amount he still needed to put in. He wasn't sure if he'd win this bet or not. But he'd already payed for his and Kiyoko's lunch. So why not pay for dinner?

(im really not sure how many posts we have left/have done out of the 15. I'll count in a minute I guess sweatdrop )

The clones had been looking out the windows when Naomi arrived, and one turned around when she entered the room. They could see that she was pretty, but being clones, that made no difference in what they thought of her. She seemed somewhat uncertain, though whether it was about the situation or the fact that she didn't know what to do was unknown to them. The best they could do was what Deil had left them to do. "Well, there's a couple people here working on the siding and roof. You can help them finish the job and then come back here with them to figure out where to go next. They've been at it awhile, so they should be done soon." His clone gave her a kind smile with its arms folded behind its back as it waited for her to go find the other two ninja.

{OOC: You guys only have to work until you reach the 15 post mark. After that, it's assumed that other people will be hired to finish the job after you leave.}

Rios yelped while he almost jumped/fell of the roof when a beautiful pair of delicate hands were holding the next shingle for him to hammer down. It wasnt the fact that she was gorgeous, though that was a factor, but it was that he didnt even detect her entrance to the roof and had effectively snuck up on him. When he quickly recovered he was already blushing deeply, something Rios hadnt done in a long time, and being in his mid twenties, it wasn't something he was accustomed to. "Er, uh thanks." He breathed out with his scruffy voice. He gently took the shingle and placed it perfectly as to mesh the rest of the shingles on the roof. It was the last one for this section, and there were only one section left to fill in. Rios honestly didnt know how to react from this girl who snuck up on him, so he would wait for her to take the first steps of introdution, or not. Though he was a genin by rank, Rios was often mistaken to be a chunnin or Jonin due to his age and the standard mist jump suit that he wore. The only thing that kept him different from those was the lack of the standard flack jacket.
