Why Can't We All Just Get A Lawn?
The plants in Auradon may be preternaturally prone to perfection, but even there lawns, trees, shrubs, and flowerbeds require some maintenance to keep them from growing wild. While the trees, shrubs and flowerbeds may be less of a concern to the more practical minded of the school's current residents, the lawn at least is still an issue, since they do need to be able to walk around easily. Fortunately the gardener's shed is pretty easy to locate, and like most things in Auradon, isn't locked. Unfortunately, the gardeners seems to have been the kingdom's lone packrat, because the shed is just crammed full of stuff. Seriously, it looks like someone took the entire contents of a lawn and garden store and shoved them in there, along with who knows what else. Somewhere under all that stuff is a lawnmower- there must be- but locating it is definitely gonna be more than a one person job.
DoNot Adjust Your Set
The current residents of Auradon might not be able to physically reach the Isle just yet, but they do have one thing that can. Namely TV signals. Unfortunately, basically everything being broadcast to the Isle kind of sucks, in a 'so sugary you wonder how you don't get diabetes just from watching it' kind of way. Fortunately, there's a solution for that! One the way to the coast, one of the places our intrepid heroes have come across is a broadcasting station, so it might be possible to change the programming roster to something a bit less saccharine. That is, assuming they can figure out how to work the equipment. Including figuring out how it's even still broadcasting at all.
Isle
Rain, Rain, Go Away
The rain in Spain might fall mainly on the plain, but rain on the Isle is much less picky. Which normally wouldn't be too much of a problem, since there wasn't really anything preventing people from going inside. What is a problem is when the rain decides to come inside too. The roof of Dragon Hall- never really in the greatest condition to start with- has begun leaking. And not just a little drip in one spot; no, that would be too simple. But a lot of leaks, in a lot of places. And ones that are getting worse the longer they're there. Fortunately- kinda- this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened, so Professor Yen Sid knows how to whip up some putty to seal the cracks. Unfortunately, making it in sufficient quantity would take a little while so in the mean time, the residents of the Isle will have to resort to trash bins, buckets, pots, teakettles, mugs, or anything else they can find that might hold water. Better get hunting, if you don't want someone else to find all the actually useful containers. Or alternately, you could just decide to forget about everyone else and just try and find a place where you and your stuff won't get wet for the duration. That's totally being evil and not just being lazy, right?
Doomy Dooms of Doom
Let's face it, no one likes the Doomstones. Even the ones who carved them probably didn't like them. But being large pieces of stone, they're rather hard to get rid of, so most people stick to just defacing them with spray paint. Not you though; you've got ambitions. Or maybe you're just really sick of those evil platitudes. Either way, you've had all you can stand of them and you can't stand any more!. Something must be done! Preferably something destructive. Thus begins your quest for Stuff That Can Break Stone. Surely the ones who carved them must have kept their tools somewhere, right? Or maybe someone who was involved n the construction of the Isle's buildings left a nice big sledgehammer laying around somewhere? One can dream, at least.
And of course, such destructive aspirations are best shared. So the moment you run into someone, you plan to try and rope them into helping you. Shouldn't be too hard to convince them, right? After all, who doesn't like to break stuff?

While he had experience with explosives, he had no idea what she planned to put into this one and was deeply curious.

Date: 6 Jul 2023 14:11 (UTC)Funny how while he didn't even try to hide his lightsaber these days, mentioning the Jedi Academy was something that never even occurred to him. In part it was habit from all those years of hiding and in part because that had been a lifetime ago, even been before he'd been chosen as Master Tapal's Padawan. But considering they'd taught a myriad of courses, including chemistry, it all worked out. It would have ruined his snark, and then where would he be?

He waited for his temporary partner in crime(?) to clear out, making a note of how far she went because she knew better the likely size of the explosion than he did, before setting the gathered weeds on fire and bolting to join her. Even without the force, he didn't need to worry about obstacles. If anything jumping and pushing himself over the first doomstone sped him up.

Date: 17 Jul 2023 03:32 (UTC)He went back to checking out the stones and wall. "I suppose so. But I gotta admit, this time was pretty satisfying as is." Could you really blame him for not minding if the school got damaged so long as nobody was hurt?

Date: 18 Jul 2023 00:37 (UTC)Which meant he dimmed the recklessness and started really thinking instead. "As fun as accidentally blowing up the entire front of the building would be, I feel like those might need a different kind of force rather than just more."
