In high spirits the group step off the speed boat. The wood
worker and rope maker meet with waiting kittahs.

The wood worker is directed to several trees up the sides of the
steep cliff that need to come down (or will on their own) and will
be used for building materials. Several of them will make good
fishing skiffs and canoes.

The rope maker is guided to several overgrown vines of various
types that make good long lasting lines for everything they need,
even ones that are very sal****er resistant to rot. She sets to
work and many younger kittahs join in to learn from her, as she
only comes once a year and is a highly prized expert.

Daisy-Chan checks the temple out, to see what they may want to
bring. She sees a lot of very nice pillows and some low divans
that will work well for tables. She jots some notes down on where
things are.

Cash sniffs out the beach and notes some spots that need digging
out and footsteps replaced. It is normal weather related since
they just finished their rainy season. Some are underway. He
introduces himself and helps with some particularily heavy stone
footsteps. His bigger paws come in pretty handy and his big soft
gentle brown eyes and floppy ears had them at ease right away.

They've not checked the kitchen cave or the other ones the locals
use for businesses. He's mostly checking the ramps and footstones
to them so far. Just as he starts to get hungry, he sees a
slightly plump Siamese setting up a table on the sand. Kittahs who
are working, smile after a glance, and others who are at a good
stopping point, go over to help.

Daisy-chan then surveys what she wants to wear to the ball. She has
many outfits but a little Local lady wants to get a ball gown and
she knows just the place!

They have loaded all the supplies at the beach for the rescue and
have an hour or 2 to spare before more arrives.

They take off for the Boutique to look about. Iowna catches up with
paw-tired kittahs who need a break from weaving and form a line to
go to the boutique.

The rope and wood maker come down. They have what they need for this
year. The rope maker looks over all the work that the younger kittahs
have done and likes it. It is unique and had new patterns she's not
seen before. She notes it has very distinctive touch texture woven
into the looks.

She smiles and points it to the wood worker. They remember Iowna and
a little care on their rail-less bridges. The 2 confurr and decide to
add some temporary sides to the few bridges. Ferns are abundant and
will look pretty.

Heading off, they join the fast moving line to the boutique.

Entering, the wood worker looks about and sees a *purrfect* dress for
his daughter. She's a Firepoint Siamese and this one is silky cream
with firepoint hem. He points to one like it that matches the rope
makers paws of smokey grey. Grinning as she squeals a happy bit, he
wanders off to check the ties and finds Cash.

'Hai Cash! Dez has so many!' Cash grins and picks out a fun one from
the back of the row. It has a double headed wood axe look where the
blades look a bit like a bow tie wth a normal bottom tie. It matches
well to his sable fur with white feet.
