[Today, for the first time since your arrival, dark and angry clouds gather in the sky above to block out the sun. It is sweltering outside, so when those clouds eventually open up in the early afternoon, showering everyone with cool rain, rolling thunder, and a few flashes of lightning. . . it probably feels good!]

[It seems to be normal rain, for the most part. Look at it from the wrong angle and some if it may seem to be tinted red, like blood. And sometimes, when a drop spatters against the ground, a spider lily suddenly blossoms in its place. The flower dies almost immediately upon springing to life, its petals dissolving into dust that is quickly washed away by the rest of the water]

[. . . things have been awfully quiet since your arrival. It feels almost a bit like the calm before the storm, doesn't it? Are you still waiting for that other shoe to drop. . .?]

[What else are you up to today!]

[oh! someone else who can pick up trees. hello 🤝]

Do you think that's possible? I may have felled some trees before, but it wasn't intentional...

[lifting buddies now]

Anything's possible, dude. We don't know what the fuck's hiding out here. Or maybe it was just a shitty tree.

[with a slight laugh-- and then a wince, because something in his side hurts from getting squished like that,]

I harbour no ill will to the tree. And besides - it's intact enough to use for weight training now.

[inexorableiron]

Dude...

That is fuckin' genius, dude!

[brokenlance]

It was only a simple observation. I had been lamenting that there were no boulders or rocks of adequate size for lifting.

[inexorableiron]

I sure as shit hadn't considered poppin' a tree out of the ground for it though!

[brokenlance]

They are ungainly to carry. But if we brought it over to the track field, that would be ample room to move it freely without fear of knocking anything over.

[inexorableiron]

And we coild try gettin' a decent set up goin', obstacles and lift bars kinda shit.

[brokenlance]

I'm certain many people could benefit from such a thing. A number people from my house train regularly as well.

[inexorableiron]

Yeah! I bet there's plenty more of us!

[brokenlance]

For now...

[He bends to try and pick up the tree again, but a pain in his side makes him wince]

Ah... could I get some assistance in moving this? I think I may have bruised something.
