The construction site is like any other mostly destroyed lot in fairhaven. That is, it is covered in debris, not anywhere near as heavily as most, but the primary distinction being it has a dark green tent suitable for standing upright set up on it, looking as though it might be from a war movie depicting a conflict from the previous century.
A few moments after the call for help was put out, anyone inside the tent would be treated to a crocodillian gator snout poking through the tent flaps, followed shortly by Arris's head proper. "Heyy, this is the spot where we go and... uh, rebuild the neighborhood, right? I heard the call, not sure how capable I am, but I want to lend a hand anyway."
Clef was already inside the tent, having arrived to his first real serious job early. "Uh, yeah, so I've been told," afformed the half-otter towards Arris, shooting him a smile and a little motion to come inside. "I'm gonna try and do what I can too, though I... don't suppose I'll be able to provide much in the heavy lifting department..."
Uvi A rather peculiar lamia girl slithers to the construction site, proudly wielding her bulky nanite collector. Peculiar, because she's wearing only a labcoat and her tail is.. well, jello. She looks around the area, before confidently entering the tent. She loudly says, "Haio, everyon~! Uvi, reporting for duty!" She glances over the room and moves herself close to Arris, because sie is the only person she knows here, apparently.
A gigantic mephitaur padded up to the tent that was set up in the construction zone. She quickly leaned her upper body forward and parted the flaps to poke her colorful head in. "This is the correct location I trust my dears?" She let out a soft churr before she slipped inside and picked a spot to make herself stand out of the way at least as she settled in behind Uvi after being so kind as to provide the transportation to the site.
Walking in from off of the main road, a wolfboy in a labcoat, and wearing a bright yellow safety helmet, with goggles, sidles into cleared section of wasteland. Noticing a small gathering of people by what must be a crude foreperson's tent. They carry at their side, a sturdy dufflebag, raising one of their hands to silently greet the already assembled folks.
Khaybat is kind of trying to play catch up! She flies after the group, happy that she was still not inflated overly much with all those eggs her Senpai gave her the other day.
Bill is a weird otter, it is possible to see that as you all arrive at the site. Weird as in, mostly not an otter, actually entirely a fairly slim human so far as can be told from a distance.
There is a tent set up with a table inside it, Bill is looking over some blueprints for this apartment complex. He is wearing, conveniently for exposition, a shirt that says "I used to be an architect before I was an otter."
In spite of the claim made by his shirt, there is still, at this distance, no evidence that he is an Otter at all.
At the moment, he is doodling with a compass directly onto the surface of the folding table he is standing over. He barely looks up at Arris as shi introduces hirself to him, "Sorry, give me a moment if you don't mind." At Clef's notice of not being able to do heavy lifting, Bill looks up and raises an eyebrow at the nearly-half-otter, "Well, that's fine. Surveying this site won't be very strenuous. At most you might have to lift a thirty pound machine or dig a sample of soil with a trowel." After he reassures the Almost-Half-Otter, he returns to his process of circling up a perfectly good table with a compass. He does not ackowledge Uvi except his eyes angling up and then snapping back down, a tension entering his stature, giant skunk not adding much his tumult, continuing to avoid looking up. He inhales deeply then forces himself to look up, seeming less alarmed once he realizes that a giant snake has not just joined his project.
He looks up at the group, finally bothering to address them, his voice is quiet and mid-toned, "Oh. Hi. I'm Bill. Thanks for coming out today, we're not doing much work on the construction itself, but we've got to survey the land and modify the designs accordingly. We've got some tools for that, and we've got some tools for doing some soil sampling just to be sure that the nanites haven't eaten the ground out from under us. Any questions"
He gestures over to the corner of the tent, in which sits a pair of Total Stations and a couple of trowels set into plastic buckets with numbers on them. They are accompanied by cans of white spray paint
"Sure thing. Let me know once you're ready, alright?" With that, Arris steps out of the tent... and comes face-to-face with the goosnake. "Oh, hello. Err... have we met before?" Sie gives Uvi a sheepish smile, not particularly used to this close of a contact with a stranger.
Clef gave Bill a little nod, a bit of tension in his shoulders visibly relaxing - truthfully, he wasn't entirely sure what he was walking into, he was just hoping to be helpful in some way. "A-aye aye," he simply said in response, moving towards one of the total stations and placing two hands on it before pausing for a couple seconds. "Erm, h-how does this thing work...?" he asked bashfully, not wanting to break anything by trying to figure it out himself.
Uvi blushes innocently and winks to Arris, before she turns herself to Bill, and says, "Y-yes, I d-do have a question. F-first - is the area safe? Aaand second - do we need any more equipment? I may have some things delivered here by a drone from my workshop." She smiles and tilts her head, awaiting a response.
Talia looked over the little buckets and trowels. She then smiled a little as she raised her middle right paw before speaking up. "Is it permissable to dig with my paws for the sample acquisition dear?" She clicked her metal claws together and rubbed them back and forth before lowering her giant paw-like hand to her side again. She was always mindful of her surroundings though. That was why she did not immediately walk over to the total station that she would be using for this effort. She then nodded and smiled as she used her eyes to study the tools at hand while she awaited further instructions.
Civeaux moves around to Bill's side of the table, glancing at the blueprints. They study the grid, looking at where the plans called for waterpipes. After a few moments of analysis, Civeaux gives up in frustration. "B-excuse me, Bill? Where are we running the water? I can't seem to locate them on your plans, here... Unless you'd have me sample every last square meter?" They heft at their large duffle. "Your protocol, not mine." They glance about the rest of the motley crew here, before realizing they'd yet to introduce themselves. "Pardon me--I like to get straight to business. My name's Civeaux--I do work for Zephyr, primarily, but love to get out of the lab and do actual fieldwork."
Khaybat goes to land just in time for the mutant to start talking! The dragoness is all ;_; faced at missing the bus to get here though she doesn't appear to mae a fuss of it otherwise and just tries to figure out what is going on.
