Rundown Old Brewery
« Thread Started on Feb 7, 2008, 8:02pm »

*Supra had gotten more than a few looks on his way here. He's been dragging these rather large trees complete with branches and leaves... well maybe not so much anymore. After checking back, most of the branches had broken off en route.*

I sure hope Anna doesn't have too strict a "No Litter" policy.

*Supra turned his gaze toward the old brewery. The local hangout for witches, others like him. It was an old brick building situated on a street corner about 3 blocks from the administrative district, so it certainly wasn't a bad part of town. Unfortunately, the building itself was in pretty poor condition. It looked like old second floor collapsed onto the first and no one bothered to clear it away before rebuilding it. What was left was essentially a big room full of debris and a big wooden hut built directly on top of it complete with straw roof.*

I guess I've got my work cut out for me.

*There was an old alleyway next to the building where he left the tree trunks and proceeded to a work shed across the street. It was on a deserted residence and the lock had been forced open, probably by a very desperate soul looking for something. Inside he found what he was looking for, an old saw. He glanced once at the space on the wall where the axes had been and sighed. They probably wouldn't be missed anyway.*

*After taking what he needed, he went back to the alleyway and started the long process of cutting away all of the remaining branches.*

Silly little Supra...

*Melanie was sitting on the roof of a building overlooking the alley that Supra was working in. What he didnt know was that the spell she had given him for direction was also a tracking spell so she could keep an eye on him. She made sure to shield her thoughts so he wouldnt see her. She loved the element of surprise.*

*Supra squeezed out from behind the entryway of the mess below the Brewery.*

I can't believe it's already night outside. I've been at this all day...

*Supra sighs then sits down on an old bus stop bench. It certainly didn't look nearly as bad. He'd been working all day, and it showed. There's a pile of wood out behind the building where he imagined the witches were stockpiling for their fires, and he'd been placing the branches and wooden debris of various size there. It wasn't so much an organized filing system as it was stacking wood out back. The diversity of the pieces made it impossible to keep it from turning into anything civilized looking. He saved all of the bricks he found though, placed them aside for when he would rebuild the wall, although he knew he'd eventually need more.*

*He noticed the alleyway too. Those trees were slowly disappearing as he would cut off a section to hold up the second floor while he cleared out the building. The whole place was so tightly packed that he had to work for every cubic inch of ground he'd clear away, because if he'd pulled too much out at once, the whole of the Brewery above him would come crashing down. So he had to alternate removing debris and cutting trees into makeshift columns. Not unlike playing high stakes Jenga.*

*It certainly wasn't fun work, but Supra knew that if anyone else tried to do something like this, it would take months to complete. He was already almost finished with clearing debris and he'd be able to finish the new walls quickly once that was done, but it was getting too dark for the kind of work there was to do so he started back to his temporary homestead for the night. It was an old green van with no tires sitting in a parking lot. Supra had removed the back and middle seats and placed a couch he'd found somewhere inside it to sleep on. He laid down and closed his eyes, knowing that soon all of his efforts would pay off.*

Whew, that took longer than I care to admit.

*Supra looked upon the array of colorful bricks that had just recently become a wall reborn. The large pseudo columns were still in place and Supra was a little hesitant to remove them, but he knew they couldn't stay there. He'd never noticed until the sun had been out earlier that day that the ceiling wasn't even a solid piece. It consisted of random bits of debris flattened and help together by some magical force. That must've allowed the witches to build their Brewery in the first place. He started with the column situated in the corner of the now empty room. He lifted his hand to the ceiling to try and hold the roof in place in case the Brewery decided to come crashing down, then proceeded to move the column from it's position. The ceiling did move a bit but the new walls were doing their jobs. He left the ones in the center standing and only removed those columns closest to the wall. It was enough wood to start building the frame of the interior. Supra carried his tree trunk columns outside the Brewery and sighed.*

There's no way I can do this next part with what I've got... guess I'll need help on this after all.

*With the tree trunks in tow once again, Supra proceeded toward the city gates.*

{Well done Mr. Supra. Well done. That is one less problem I have to worry about.}

*BANG BANG BANG*

{Name's William Savante. Glad we all got out of that. I don't believe I've gotten your name?}

*BANG BANG BANG*

Uh... be quiet... I'll tell you... my name... is Juan Supra...

*BANG BANG BANG*

"DAAAAAAAAADDY! Mr. Supra's getting up!"

*BANG BANG BANG*

What's all that noise?

*Supra's head was hurting, and he was lying on his back facing the sky. He saw Kyra's face looking down at him. He tried to sit up but felt a sharp pain in his back, so he slowly laid back down. He heard Terry's voice.*

"Whoa, take it easy there big fella. I don't know what happened to you but you're in no condition to be moving around just yet."

"Hey Sanders! We didn't come out here to do all the work ourselves, you know."

"Shut your trap boy, if you and your pack of Neanderthals been doin half the work I was we'd've been done hours ago!"

*He turned to Supra*

"Sorry about that, those ungrateful punks get so full of themselves sometimes."

*Supra looked turned his head to see what was going on. He was lying in the bed of a horse drawn carriage. The carriage was parked right next to the brewery where several people were working on the inside with planks of wood. Undoubtedly from the trees Supra had cut down weeks before.*

I can't believe those guys are out here. I thought they were going to feed me to the alligators.

"Well they changed their mind after last night. If it weren't for your witch friend fighting off the crazed werewolves, the entire place would've been overrun. I don't think there's enough silver in this whole town to keep them at bay that night, much less in their supply."

Man, I really appreciate everything you're doing.

*Supra tried to sit up again... still too painful.*

"Look, don't try to get up just leave everything to us now."

Sorry...

*The rest of his night was spent listening to the men hard at work and little Kyra telling him stories. Supra didn't mind though. Once in a while, it was nice to not have to worry.*

*Supra took a walk through the new ground level of the brewery. The place was still a mess but the frame was completely finished. All that was needed to do was put up the dry wall and clean out all of the sawdust, and remove a few pesky tree trunks still standing around the place as Terry pointed out.*

"We can use the rest of these to make desks and bookshelves, but we don't need em here anymore."

Yeah, I guess these will just be an eyesore now.

*Supra took the tree trunks one by one and carefully moved them onto the carriage outside.*

"It's a good thing we decided to make double doors at the front, or else this wouldn't've been pretty."

*one of the younger men came up to Terry.*

"Look, we can't be out here anymore. Sooner or later someone is going to find out we're not there and take everything."

"That's fine y'all just go, I'll get a hold of you once it's all finished, anyway now that Juan's back to full strength we'll probably get along just fine."

*He turned toward Supra.*

"Let's stop for the day. There's this place I like to eat at... hell, it was the only reason I came to this town. Let me take you there so you can see for yourself. It's called the Teapot Bakery and Cafe. I'll buy, since I know you don't have any money."

Thanks Terry, I'll make it up to you someday.

*The two looked over the new building one more time before starting off toward the bakery.*

*Terry wasn't at his cabin, at the village, or with the Slayers. After spending the whole night sneaking around the village and the caves and fighting random werewolves, Supra gave up and returned to the Brewery. There, the sun was about halfway up when he saw Kyra outside brushing their horse.*

"Hi, Mr. Supra!"

Hello Kyra, is your father here?

"Yeah, he's inside working."

Thanks, you be careful out here by yourself, and don't wander off.

"Okay."

*Supra went inside and was shocked to see a large desk extending out of the wall in a semicircle in the foyer. He walked past the desk into a large room to find Terry screwing in the last part of a shelf.*

"Hey Juan, get a load of this!"

*He turns a crank on the side and the whole shelf moves along a railing in the ground.*

"I can't believe it works. So, I'm thinking of making some for this whole track, but the rest'll be regular ones."

That sounds great, but I've got something else right now.

"Aw man, don't tell me it's that bakery girl again."

I have reason to believe she's still alive, but I can't say for how much longer. I'd like for you and the Slayers to look around outside the city for any traces of a crazed vampire. He's got to have a hiding place for during the day, in the meantime I'll keep searching the city itself.

"Alright Juan... but we have got to focus on this place or we'll never get finished."

You can let me worry about that. You don't have to wait for me to stock this place by the way. If you want to, you can go ahead and tell the others that it's ready now. Just try to be subtle about it since this place isn't exactly open to the public yet.

"It's alright, I don't reckon too many'll come anyhow. Won't get anyone from the 'protectorate' long as Mavid is around."

We'll be pretty busy for a while it seems. Let me know if you find anything.

"Sure enough. I'll be on the horn."

*Supra stepped out and looked up at the sky. There wasn't much he could do during the day, and this guy was pretty unstable. Supra decided to try a few places before nightfall, when he would go to that place he dreaded.*
