Six; Action/Phone

[micronation]

Hardware Store
[You can find Sealand wheeling a red wagon through the store, it being the most practical solution for carrying around four buckets of paint and a dangerously high pile of wooden planks. The wagon seems to be holding up for now, at least. He's studying locks.]

They need to have those cool locks like in the movies.

[WHERE IS ALL THE RETINA SCANNING TECHNOLOGY, 1950S.]

Library
[Sealand is getting a bunch of books on building things! Of course, since he's a young boy, it's mostly about bird houses and shop classes, but it's good enough.]

Phone
Hey, Seborga, where are you?

Comments

[micronation]

Classified information.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Then declassify it.

I won't have you hanging around any hoodlums.

[micronation]

[EYEROLL.]

Seborga and Wy.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... Oh.

No proper adult is coming?

[micronation]

Well I was gonna ask Papa but he's still droned. [Also he's fourteen here and is perma-droned but these are minor details.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... I suppose it's up to me, then.

Your assigned father probably wouldn't have been any help, anyway.

[micronation]

...I haven't seen him around much.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It's a common theme.

Are you almost done over there?

[micronation]

Well it's not like I know him anyway.

Yeah, now I need the boards.

[Half hopping, half climbing down to get the hammer and nails.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... I'll finish the pulley, then, and start bringing them up. [climbing down painfully slowly]

Are you lonely?

[micronation]

Okay. [Climbing back up and sitting in the center of the cleared out area.]

N-no way! That's stupid.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... Not even a little bit?

[pulling pulling pulling and it actually works pretty well ty seventh grade science]

[micronation]

Even if Wy and Mama are busy and Papa's droned and Seborga's out on dates and I keep getting new people in the house and there's no ocean I'm not because being lonely is stupid.

[T-taking the boards.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It's still hard. To build a tree house on your own, anyway.

[back up his poor back his poor poor back]

[micronation]

[Using one of those giant screws to screw a board into the tree.]

I-it's not like I need anyone to help or anything. But you're helping so I guess that's okay.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'll do better.

[micronation]

At what? [Looking at how England is climbing the tree. :|]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[the old man shuffle is a prestigious art]

Don't make me say what.

[micronation]

[Nailing more boards together and also to the tree.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'm really not saying it.

N... Not that your sullen silence has disconcerted me or anything like that.

[micronation]

Sealand is just concentrating. The fort's super important.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I should have probably thought further ahead and brought some bandages up here.

[micronation]

Why, are you gonna get hurt?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I expect you're going to accidentally hammer your thumb to the board.

[micronation]

Sealand does lots of work at home, this is easy.
