Welcome to Gaia! ::

Looking around You'd have thought someone would have cleaned up the blood He though to himself.

Pie returns, carrying four large hinges to match the large doors. She sets them down, then examines the situation.

"O-kay, I'll need to get these doors up. But Mayo's still at the festival. Hmm. Well, I never let that stop me before."

She drags the door into place, then tries to lift it up. "Aagh! Heavy-!" She drops it again, pulling her fingers out of the way so they wouldn't be crushed.

She stops to think, tapping her foot. "Hrm..." She walks over to her large toolbox and starts to dig through it. She pulls out several blocks of wood, a hook, and a rope. She ties the rope to the hook, sets one large block at the base of the door, hooks the rope to the top of the door, and starts to pull the rope. She's able to lift the door into place this way, and at her instruction, her Gwee pushes another block behind the door to hold it steady.

"Okay. Now make sure no one stands in the fall range, just in case those blocks don't hold." The Gwee squeals in response and stands guard just outside of the fall range. Pie brings over the ladder and starts installing the larger, stronger hinges.

"Pepper'd better appreciate this."

((That's all right. Pie's fine on her own. lol.))

She tightens the last bolt on the second hinge as far as it will go, then climbs back down the ladder. "Okay, let's check it." She pulls out the wood blocks, makes sure it swings freely, checks the hinges for signs of strain; everything is in perfect condition. She is even able to hold onto the door and have it support her weight.

"Good. Next time those hinges break, it'll be because someone else broke them."

She moves the wood blocks to support the second door, then starts removing the smaller hinges, which are also showing signs of strain and would have likely broken under the weight within the next few days at most. Once those are off, she begins installing the new, larger ones.

"Nice work pie" Opening the door "Lets hope it holds this time"

I walked by them as they finished up the door. I stared into their eyes, I could hear their heartbeats quickening a bit as I past. I could almost smell the blood rushing through their vains, I bet it tasted sweet.
