Setting Up The Cabin: Thread PL: 220,211
There was palpable excitement seeping from Noxa, that much her partner, Hideaki — or, ‘Mr. Floofs’, as she called him — could see. This was the first big job that the redhead was given, and it was both a well-paying one as well as something meaningful. Her employer was a good friend. Someone who had given her advice during a time of self-doubt. This Old Man, Ayumu, had come to her late last evening. She wasn’t entirely sure how he managed to find out where she lived, but at this point, she wasn’t sure she wanted to know. After all, the way the two had met was, in itself, questionable and surreal at best.
Nonetheless, Ayumu’s order was an honorable one: help build a temporary venue to host a congratulations party to Celmaru and Phae, celebrating the addition of two new members to the Waterfield family.
Of course, that caused Noxa’s heart to skip a few beats at the time; it reminded her of a few things: that Phae was due soon, that she had been out of contact with her teacher, and her turtle teaching had fallen way behind. But, of course, those are reflection best left for another day.
Having accepted the job, Noxa arrived at the destination Old Man had marked on her PDA. It was a barren plot of land, but not something unworkable. The vicinity was serene enough. In the not so far distance she could see a village and beyond it an overlooking hill crowned with a temple and the heavy weight of Celmaru’s power level.
In order to keep this as much of a secret as she could, Noxa heavily suppressed her power level — more so than she had already. It became negligible at best, but with that out of the way, the woman began to work. The amazon was far from an engineer or architect but fueled by the desire to do both Old Man and her Sensei’s family proud, Noxa got to work. She ordered Mr. Floofs to go out and begin collecting wood — preferably far enough from the town that the tree harvesting wouldn’t affect the vista.
While her partner in crime went out to gather the raw materials, Noxa sat down beneath the clear morning sky, searching through the net for blueprints of the most elegantly complex log cabins she could find.
Hours passed. Plenty of time for Noxa to realize she had no idea how to read blueprints — much less cut, process, and organize the dozen or so deep-forest logs that she could see her ivory furred companion dragging towards her in the distance.
Her ignorance didn’t discourage her; she was going to get this done one way or another — even if she had to hire outside help to fulfill her end of the deal, and end this exchange at a netloss.
The sun drove across the sky, and by the end of the day, an unrecognizable pile of chopped, mowed wood rested at the center of the plot. Noxa’s hair was drenched with sawdust, and she couldn’t remember the last time she had so much residue beneath her fingernails or gauntlet’s talons.
The woman looked out into her ‘construction’ with an even, unreadable face. Mr. Floofs watched her expression; he was sure she would burst into celebration and begin patting herself on the back soon enough, raving about what a fantastic job she had done — despite how obviously inept her handiwork had been.
Much to his surprise, a red glow surged from behind his bio android as a scarlet vine moved from betwixt her hair, launching an orb towards her attempt at construction. The blast was weak enough to go mostly undetected by anyone not going out of their way to sense ki, but more than capable to disintegrate the dead wood that had been piled at the center of the lot.
That mangled mess wasn’t up to the standard the woman had set for herself; it looked nothing like the wonderful image and cabin layout she had been attempting to emulate.
Then, an idea came to her. The bio woman thought back to her last encounter with Katsu — his home in Mt. Paozu. She could recall how the ki-proficient scientist was able to conjure all kinds of simple and complex objects from the air, by weaving ki in ways more complex than a simple offensive attack.
A warm, red glow began to overtake Noxa. Her PDA was brought up by her hair, held not far over her face so she could focus directly on the reference images while attempting to manifest them through ki. Her fleshy hand and her armored gauntlet's talons splayed out towards there the pile of wood had once been, a glow much like that which enveloped her began to blossom at the location she targeted. It grew in intensity and solidified. The light eventually took shape of the image Noxa had fixated on. Once the glow had faded, texture took its place.
Noxa’s hands slowly lowered themselves; her tendrils slowly retracted the PDA back beneath her scarlet mane. Mr. Floofs gaze with awe; an entire high-quality log cabin had materialized — with a hot tub embedded into its porch!
Noxa had successfully used Magic Materialization for the first time, managing to finish up her task before sundown. Finally, able to put pride in her work, the woman took in a deep breath; jutting her chest out as she straddled her companion.
“Alright, Mr. Floofs. Let's get back home. I’m sure someone will come to decorate or something; our work here is done.”

[Thread PL: 55,558] [Heavy Weights ACTIVATE!] [Current PL: 13,889]
Needing a complete break from society due to his meltdown at the tournament, EGG had needed something to do. Something that was time consuming and would be able occupy a decent chunk of the small tennenman's mind. A thought came across his mind, something that he had not done quite a long while. Aside from making breakfast for the old man, EGG did one other task while he lived with the person who raised him for as long as he could remember. The pink and blue plant alien gained the knowledge of tending to the lawn.
Although at first EGG felt that making grass grow properly, trimming trees, and treating flowers was rather meaningless, all those tasks took a whole different meaning after the old man had died. Being all alone after the old man had passed, EGG begrudgingly continued maintenance on the land around, only to find that such tasks now meant much more to him.
The garden was all that was left of the old man, aside from his shack, something which the small creature actively took care of on a daily basis. And a dodgy hobby turned into a full blown experienced devotion to this green venture, EGG now having a new respect for such a thing.
He would be continuing to tend it to this day if it was not for the winter as, due to his lack of knowledge, was saddened that the garden died outright. Hopes shattered, he just stuck mainly to shopping for the occasional food and for his daily sentai shows.
Today was a day to change it all as, while flying through the air and attempting to wipe the tears of anger out of his eyes, he noticed what he could only describe as the wildest yard possible. It was in front of a log cabin, and the grass was as tall as the flowers around it. Eyes widening, he could not believe a sight, so much so that he lowered himself onto the ground, the green follicles going up to his knees in height. Although he would usually ignore such a thing, his feelings were at an all time low and this house in front of it seemed to nice looking to have a sloppy looking yard.
It was time to spruce up this lawn… A good deed a day keeps a smile on his face after all.
Starting with trimming on its own, EGG created a small ball of ki in his right hand. A golden orb formed in his hand, completing the first step of getting ready to cut the grass. With ki orb in hand, EGG started to focus his energy quite a bit, flattening the orb so that it was paper thin. Chuckling a bit as he looked at the golden disc of ki, he moves it down to the ground, the ki spinning at a high velocity which cut the grass with little ease. Flipping upward and having his both his feet stand on top of this ki disc, he was now riding an essential disc of ki.
Standing atop it, EGG had used his powers to move about the lawn. It took but a good ten minutes to circle around the building to chop up and disintegrate the grass fibers that were lopped off, without singing the actual grass. It was a good way for EGG to control his ki at his earlier stages, and it's always a good thing to return to the basics. And, in all honesty, throughout the mowing of the lawn, EGG had actually started to get himself calmer about his current situation.
Stopping after lopping off two yards worth of grass, he looked at the building and started to feel a little hollow, feeling that the building was missing that special something. Snapping his talons as an idea popped into his head, he rode his flat ki ball into a nearby town, ready to dole out a good amount of zeni for a little something special.
Returning, EGG was carrying quite a large thing in his hands, making sure that he was not moving too fast… As in tow he was carrying a large bag full of pre-potted flowers, and a twenty-plus foot tall Fir tree. Before landing though, he shoots a large ki orb at the ground, exploding a small portion of the ground to make a four foot deep hole. Landing on the ground, he had no hesitation in plopping the fir tree down into the hole and, while propping it up with one of his hands, pushed the dirt back in the hole until it was fully secured into the ground.
Which meant EGG had a lot of work to do with his other two bags… One full of Pre-Potted plants, the other containing decorations of sorts. Deciding to go with the easier of the two tasks, he put the decorations bag underneath the tree while walking over to the edge of the cabin, finding the space underneath the porch to be lackluster. Cracking the knuckles of his talons, the pink and blue creature starts punching holes into the ground, making sure that the punches were only strong enough to go less than a foot deep except for on the sides of the patio stairs.
The sides of the patio stairs, he punched with as much force as possible to create a larger space to accommodate a couple specialties that he needed to grab back at the store. But first, he planted a bunch of red flowers around the outside of the home, breaking the pots open and putting the potted flowers into the soil, a mixture of red lilies, red violet, red roses, even red poppies. It was a very festive color after all.
Making one last trip back to the store, he returned carrying two big bushes in his hands, landing next to the patio stairs to plant the white hydrangea bushes on both sides of the stairs. Walking back a bit, he gazed upon the patio, seeing the festive cheer upon the red flowers and white bushes. Turning around, he notices his bag still sitting under the tree, now feeling up to one final task.
Reaching into the bags, he pulls out long lines of tubes filled with small light bulbs within, the plastic tubes being at least twenty feet long. And he had four of them! Flying on up into the sky with each of the tubes, he circled above the large fir tree with each tube, layering them around and around the tree until he used it all up. Landing on the ground once more, he grabs each of the cords and hooks them up to an extension cord, leading them all the way back to the porch of the backyard, leaving the plug-in shown in plain view for the owners of this home to plug in whenever!
Smiling that he was able to do his good deed, EGG flew off to find someone that he could talk to… Maybe Capper, as he did say he was going to go away soon. Maybe going to a different planet was going to be a good idea to clear his head.
