[Luckily, it wasn't a very far walk to find a tree, with the river running so relatively close by to where the Emporium had turned up; following a few minutes of walking and an equal amount of casual bickering, our heroes eventually came upon an assortment of trees, any of which would likely suffice for their purposes.]
[It wasn't a particularly artful bout of lumberjacking, but it did the trick; with an audible and enthusiastic ORAORAORAORAORA, Star Platinum gladly took its user's silent direction and launched itself at the tree, starting out with a brutal sweeping kick to weaken the tree near its base, and then hammering a tornado of punches against it until it cracked loudly and began to wobble.]
Make sure you're clear, Kakyoin.
[And, with one final push, Star Platinum felled the tree. \o/]
I'm fine. [Hierophant responded next, unraveling from around Kakyoin's arms to catch the tree before it hit the ground.]
...How much of it do you really think we'll need? Like I said before, there's no way we'd get the whole thing through the front door even if that much was necessary.
[he's not saying 'i'm about to snap this tree in half' but he's not not saying it either]

"The materials required for construction". The hell?

They asked for a friendship bracelet in exchange for that picture, but I guess this is a little different.

Date: 2015-09-01 06:33 am (UTC)Still. Materials. What, were they going to ask him to replace the one he was taking with a substitute one in exchange?
...
Although. It did say "materials", not "parts". And there was a difference, wasn't there?]
...Wood. Wood, metal, and plastic, those are the materials that go into making one.
action;
Date: 2015-09-01 06:36 am (UTC)That doesn't sound so difficult. Wood's easy enough to find, metal and plastic shouldn't be hard at all if we get a little creative.

Look for a maple tree, that's probably easiest.

Date: 2015-09-01 07:04 am (UTC)[THIS IS NORMAL]
I'd assume we can just get away with a small one--I can tell you right now that I don't think we'll have to drag in an entire tree.
action;
Date: 2015-09-01 06:45 pm (UTC)But that's a little less interesting.

That much, I guess.
