Tenna October Catch-All

[its_tv_time]

Who: Tenna, Archnemon, the people doing the TV Studio Quest, and YOU?!
What: Quests, general interactions
When: Throughout October
Where: Cheri Berries guild, Bottlecap Bay + surrounding areas, and wherever the wildcard takes us
Warnings: (Potential) Deltarune chapter 3 spoilers, Tenna's volatile emotions. Will add more as they come up.



1. Woodn't You know It (Closed to Archnemon)
Though he's already gathered wood earlier, Tenna isn't quite done! A combination of helping the city and his selfish little TV studio project, he enlisted the help of a curious little Pokemon who appears to have stolen his name. Hatenna?! He doesn't even wear a hat! That little misunderstanding aside, the company is welcome, at least. As long as she doesn't comment on him squirreling away some extra wood for his studio...

2. A TV-Tastic Studio! (Open)
Tenna's practically giddy when he gets the okay to build his studio, and he doesn't waste any time, immediately diving into the work... only to quickly realize he can't quite do this alone. He's used to having a whole crew at his disposal, so within a few hours, he's put up a quest asking for help. Over the course of the month, Pokemon come and go to help him out, and those that sign up are quick to realize he's running a tight ship! Despite his usually excited demeanor, he's very serious about what he wants and how things are built, which may come as a surprise to those who thought he was just a TV personality. This TV knows how to command a crew, that's for sure. Not to mention, any Pokemon unfortunate enough to linger may get pushed into working anyway...

"Hello! Are you here to help me build my new studio? WONDERFUL! Just follow me over here, please- I'll show you what to do!"

3. Ribombee's New favorite (Open)
To those living in the Cheri Berry guild, it has... rather quickly become apparent that Ribombee has come to consider Tenna one of his new favorites. He always has time for Tenna's (sometimes rather bizarre) requests, and while not all of them get the okay, many of them do. Within days of being recruited into the guild, Tenna's bedding has received an upgrade, and construction on a roof over his head has already started! Worst of all, Tenna himself seems to not even notice Ribombee's blatant favoritism. He has nothing but good things to say about the guildmaster whenever he's asked.

At least that means he's happy in the guild, and cheerfully greets his fellow Pokemon. If he notices them giving him the stink-eye... he's trying very, very hard not to show it.

4. Wildcard!

Tenna regards the duo with delight, clapping his appendages together.

"Kinger and Anasui! Lovely to have you, truly!" He ushers them along the lot, towards the crew of working pokemon. "But there's no time for chit-chat! TV-Time Studios(tm) isn't gonna build itself! Anasui, why don't you-" he points towards rows of heavy, carved trees that a medium sized, muscled pokemon is dragging towards the lot, "-go help Gurdurr over there with those? We need them to make a proper foundation. And you-" he turns to Kinger, "-follow me! We need to make sure the foundation is level, and you seem like the mushroom- er, pokemon for the job!"

[0dchess]

"Right you are!" Kinger agrees, despite it being unclear how the tiny mushroom was going to level the foundation.

Kinger scuttles over to the foundation and sticks his left and right mushrooms out to the sides and sways back and forth, trying to be a living level and make sure it's not at an angle.

"I don't know if this is working!" Kinger says cheerfully.

[dripdrive]

"Hmph. Fine. Not like I particularly care what job I do," Anasui stretches out his long neck before he walks over to the Gurdurr. As a beautiful, graceful bird, he looks hilariously out of place next to the Fighting Type Pokemon but Anasui digs his heels in and focuses.

He's never lifted something so heavy but his eyes glow blue as he concentrates, as does one of the logs. It takes Anasui's entire focus but soon he's moving one of the logs all on his own.

That being said, hearing Kinger, Anasui sighs and puts down the trunk about halfway it's supposed to be and rolls his eyes.

"Kinger, you look like an idiot. Go grab a glass and make a straight line on it. Then, when you fill it with water, you can see if the ground is straight or not."

[its_tv_time]

Tenna has already moved on, it seems. He's talking to some other Pokemon, and flitting about everywhere to make sure everything is going well- almost like a whirlwind! His antennae twitch, his wings vibrate-

-and he drops a glass of water next to Kinger. Seems he overheard, after all!

"Here you go!"

... And he's gone again.

[0dchess]

"But how do I draw a line!?" Kinger shouts with an undue amount of anguish.

He notices a small length of rope nearby, not long enough to do anything useful for construction. Kinger unravels it into a thinner thread to work with, and rapidly ties a very secure knot in it with his tendrils, wrapping it around the glass in an even line. Kinger steps back, impressed at his own work.

"I wonder if I was a Boy Scout." Regardless, Kinger wanders around, using the glass to make sure things are level.

[dripdrive]

Since Tenna has the whole glass situation covered, Anasui is more than happy to get back to his own work. He slowly concentrates on lifting the log again and brings it to the right spot. Once the log is down, he turns back to Kinger, about to help the poor mushroom when he sees Kinger's handiwork.

"Huh... Not bad. That's surprisingly level." Anasui nods his approval before he turns back to the foundation. He frowns as he looks at it and does the math in his head. Then, without telling anyone, he uses his psychic powers to move the log Gurdurr placed a few centimeters forward, accommodating for the wood of the tree to make the foundation perfectly straight. Then, he'll go back to work if no one calls him out on it.

i know i dmed about potentially handwaving this, but i realized you might want to hit 5 comments,

[0dchess]

As Kinger wanders around with the glass, he sees some of the knot work that's already been done, and tries to offer some advice to some of the others who are working on setup.

"That's a good timber hitch, but you really need to add a clover hitch to really secure it into place. If someone's celebrating on stage you don't want them bringing the house down! Let me show you."

Kinger hops up and starts securing some of the looser knots a bit better.
