Construction: Tuesday August 14th, all day

Xander? Bitchily grim as he walks around pointing out various pieces of Very Loud Equipment?

"So yeah, today's job? Test all the equipment. Power drills, saws, cement mixers. Gotta make sure the stuff is still running when we send it all back." It may not make enough noise to bother Umbridge or even get her notice, but every little bit helps, right? Plus if anybody's trying something else, every distraction helps.

He's almost pissed-off enough to forget to tell them to put on proper safety gear while doing it.

Cringing at the considerable construction cacaphony and now done alliterating, Anders was at the construction site bright and early to find Xander.

"Is he okay?" he asked -- yelled, rather -- without preamble. "What did she do to him?"

"He is--" Xander gave up and shook his head, then wrote on the whiteboard.

He is NOW. Gave him heat-breath. Hurt his throat.

Anders's handwriting wasn't what you could call copperplate at the best of times, and at the moment he was just lucky it was legible at all, even if some squinting might have been required due to Shaky Hands of Rage.

And you said we couldn't seal her up inside the walls.

Xander made a gesture not suitable for prime-time television in the direction of Umbridge's office, then wiped the whiteboard.

Might be changing my mind on that.

Anders made a mental note that he'd been doing the gesture wrong complete with mental cat macro and nodded. A quick glance around made him realize that all the equipment, while noisy as hell, wasn't . . . necessarily being used on anything, and he grinned.

If I put on safety gear, can I help test a power screwdriver or something?

Xander wrote I see NOTHING and pointedly looked the other way.

Anders hastily wiped off the whiteboard again, leaving a breathtaking masterpiece of artwork (http://www.dyqatt.com/fh/l33tsmilezomg.jpg) behind in its place.

Pulling on a welder's visor had everything to do with safety and nothing to do with a desire for anonymity.

Really.

. . . power tools were nice and loud.
