Welcome to Gaia! ::

If given a choice, Marcus would have taken the town still, even after everything. His dumb, is somewhat sweet, dream of having a home, not some tiny apartment, with Cass was just a thing. But it was a thing that had a meaning to him and her. They wanted it in their own way, and bullheaded was he was, Marcus was not about to give up his dream because of set backs. Wedding postponed, they would get married. Even if it would be even more modest, the wedding was something they wanted, just like the house. Silly, a bit foolish, but wanted and obtainable.

Electrical shut down for the house he was working on, he had minor experience with it, only having gotten his house running. Wires lay at his feet, along with various tools. The manual and guide book were open, pages dog eared for reference. Fidding with the socket he sighed, looking outside to the yet to be fixed homes. One step at a time as they said.

He managed to finish the last panel before the rain came in. The soft patter of raindrops on the roof relaxed him, and laying the runic daggers out, he got to work on the simple fixes inside. Pipes that needed replacing, and a few patches in the wall, likely from shadowlings. Whoever the last house's occupant was, Marcus didn't know, but a few things were remaining, books gathering dust on a bookshelf, china, (he made a note to grab that later. Hey no one else was using it and china was expensive), some water color paint sets- the former occupant was likely dead, and even if towns were abandoned for now, it was unlikely the resident had been alive anytime in recent history. The dust was too thick. As trickle, the rain began to let up, and Marcus wrapped up his work.

Time to move onto the next house.
