Round Four - Keating

Having running water was nice, but without having access to the proper parts meant that the pipes burst easily.



Just when things were slowing down and Erik was hoping to get to work on some of his own projects, Nanys came to visit him with a favor to ask.

"There are sims like you that came here many years ago when their ship crashed upon our shores. They live on Waladli across the river, but our bridge has washed out and we can no longer visit them as easily as we once could. Now we must make a long and dangerous journey over the rocks under the waterfall to the north. My people are very capable, but it is a long and strenuous journey that once was avoidable. Perhaps if you could find a way to repair our bridge we could be reunited. There are many strong men in my tribe who are willing to help you with the repairs."



"I'm flattered that you think I am capable of such a task. If I'm honest with you I've never built anything in my life until we ended up here."
"Are you saying that you won't be able to restore our bridge?"



"I can't make any promises, but I'll see what I can do. After all, I have surprised already."
"I knew you would be the right choice. I look forward to hearing of your progress. And please don't hesitate, my villagers are at your disposal for this task."
"Thank you Nanys, it will be a pleasure working side-by-side with you and your people."
"The pleasure is all mine, Erik."



Taking on a project like building a bridge was huge. If he was going to succeed he would need all the help he could get. He would have to come up with a plan.



In the meantime he had his supplies to trade and other things to do....



Important things...





Since Ruby was his main connection to the outside world, she made sure to keep him up on what was happening around the island. The relationship that Trent is developing with the wild wolves was something Erik found especially ridiculous.



"Hey Gregory, you look a little tense today. I could give you a massage."
"Please woman, keep your hands to yourself."



"What? I'm just trying to be friendly."



"I know what falls under your definition of 'friendly'. I said don't touch me."
"Fine, fine. Whatever."



Dinner was quiet that night. Ruby wasn't sure why Gregory had such a problem with her and Erik was already thinking up ideas to repair the bridge to the other island.





Ruby spent the night but Erik sent her home really early in the morning so he could work on his project.



It wasn't a bridge, but if it worked it would save him a bit of time.







If all went well this little robot he created would take care of all the messes around the house. It would give him a little more time to work on other things.



He would need all the time he could get after all, building a bridge was no simple matter.
