Chapter Twenty-Two: Cleaning House

[Date: 6th Day of Winter. Time: 9:00 a.m.]

“Good morning, my friend!” Desmond beamed as he and Jason walked through the frigid air toward the front door of the Summer Shandy. “And how are you doing after a wonderfully refreshing Sunday?”

“Well enough.” Jason shivered. “You know, back in Summer Shandy, we had an almanac that would give us an idea what the weather was going to be like. Here, you just step out the front door.”

“The element of surprise! It’s quite nice.” Desmond glanced around. “Your beloved Tess has abandoned you?”

“Rachel has a stomach bug, and Fern is feeling like it might be hitting her next.” Jason shrugged. “She decided to stay home and help them. Richard is doing an ingredient run for Chang, but he’ll be here later this afternoon.”

“Perfect! Then let us get to work.”

The two men clomped up and into the building, which… Inside, it wasn’t really all that much warmer than outside, though it was out of the wind.

“We need to get this fireplace cleaned out.” Jason muttered. He walked over and glanced up the inside of the chimney, which was a mass of dust and debris.

“I know a guy for that.” Desmond answered. “He can be here tomorrow, I’m sure, and we’ll have heat soon after that.”

“And, thankfully, we have plenty of stuff to burn.” Jason chuckled. “We won’t need to buy firewood.”

“Burn any of this furniture, and you’ll be looking at a fine from the police steeper than the streets in Mountain District.” Desmond answered, pulling tools out of his inventory and setting them out on one of the tables. “Regulations.”

“Pfft.” Jason scowled. “Can’t you do anything in the city?”

“Nope! Speaking of which, dumpster should be here by noon.”

Jason nodded, then slowly walked toward the stairs, putting what weight as he could on his leg. He was healing rapidly, and he credited a lot of it to getting up and about. His blood was flowing now, and that surely had to help things. Together, he and Desmond made their way up the flights of stairs to the fourth floor, which was where they had decided to start working. After all, if they were going to be carrying construction equipment back and forth, it made sense to start working the furthest from the front door.

Thankfully, the work was actually coming along quite well. As Jason reached the top floor, he slowly looked about. There were six suits there, and each of them had been stripped all the way down to the basics. Beds had been taken out, bed stands and dressers (which were all Circle-Z) had been moved down to the dining room area, and the bathrooms had been scrubbed spotless.

“Alright! Today, we’re going to start getting this place back in working order.” Desmond clapped his hands. “Do you want to strip carpet, or do you want to start cleaning light sockets, glass and windows to get the lighting back in order?”

Jason winced. “I don’t know that I’m good enough to work on carpet yet.
