Tectonic Crusade Stuff

"Huh."

"So! What do you think, Lyric??? Should we go?"

"Oooh! I think we should!!"

Team Siren crowded around a printed flyer Aria had found at the Guild. Said flyer advertised a job requested by a Deering named Bam, asking for help to open up a new farm.

"The work seems a bit more...strenuous than what we usually take on," Lyric said carefully, sniffling a yawn with their flipper.

"So??? Look how much it pays!!" Aria pointed out, gesturing to the reward section with a wing. "Plus we get this thing called a farm pass!"

"Oooh! That sounds so cool!!" Fife chimed in, rubbing his wings together in excitement.

"Do we even know what it does?" Lyric asked Aria dryly.

"Well, it doesn't say specifically, but, like, it probably gives us access to the farm! Duh!" The Rotom waved away her partner's concern. "Come ON, Lyric! It'll be worth it!!"

"Yeah!! Can we please go? Pretty please???" Fife asked Lyric, giving the Popplio the cutest baby-doll eyes he could muster. Aria picked up on the Cutiefly's act and followed suit, sticking out her lip for extra cuteness.

Finally, the Popplio relented with a sigh. "Alright," Lyric said. "We'll go. Just don't make me regret this."

"Yay!" Fife cheered, buzzing around happily.

"Heh, don't worry!" Aria told Lyric, slspping them on the back with her electric wing. "You'll thank me later!"

After packing up their things and and uneventful trip through town, Team Siren had arrived at the location. 

"Sup!" Aria cried, greeting a shiny Deering nearby. "Are you Bam?"

"Oh. Yeah," Bam replied quietly. "Are you here to help out?"

"Yuppers!" Fife replied eagerly. 

"I guess so," Lyric responded, much less enthusiastically, with a shrug.

"Alright, thanks. You guys can get to work and start building some booths," Bam told the trio, pointing with a hoof to a pile of lumber, paint buckets, and tools.

"Alright, thanks!" Aria replied, zooming over to where he had pointed, Fife close behind, with Lyric tagging along at the rear.

"So. Uh," Aria sputtered, looking at the wood planks. "Uh. How do you build a stand?"

Lyric face-flippered. "Oh for Arceus' sake..." he sighed, pulling out a measuring tape from a toolbox. "Fife, could you measure 2 feet on 5 pieces of wood and mark it?"

"Okay!" He replied, taking the measuring tape from Lyric, buckling in the air under its weight as he did so.

"Alright, good. Now, we're going to need to saw-"

"We get to use a SAW?!" Aria exclaimed excitedly, a mischievous sparkle in its eyes.

"I'm going to use a saw," Lyric shot back flatly. "Because obviously neither you or Fife can be trusted with this."

Aria blew a raspberry and crossed her wings. "Hphm. You're no fun..." the Rotom muttered under her breath.

"I heard that," the Popplio said icily. "Suck it up."

"I'm finished!!" Fife declared, flying back over to the older Team members and setting the tape measurer with a huff.

"Alright, good. Let's get to work."

Over the course of the next few hours, Lyric, Aria, and Fife labored away, measuring a few more boards, cutting them, nailing them together, and finally, coating it all with a vibrant coat of paint. The final result resembled a homemade lemonade stand you'd see in your neighborhood.

"Nice," Bam said, inspecting the Team's work after they told him they had finished. "Here's your rewards."

Lyric took the bag of PC and counted carefully, making sure he hadn't been cheated on, while Aria and Fife admired the Farming Pass. "Can't wait to see what this does!" Aria exclaimed. 

"Yeah!" Fife chimed in.
