Angie, the friendly face of the Montréal enclave, is keeping an eye out for interesting looking people to invite on a supply run.
Clamps and chisels and lapidary tools and a slip roller and mallets and a screwdriver. She will tie things to her backpack straps if she has to.
Tomonori can't carry too much more but he can think about the things everyone else can use, and a few small things for himself.
Gems. Lots of gems, and wire. Small chunks of metal or wood. Burnisher, chisel, screwdriver, square. Nails, sandpaper...
Let's see, what tools did he forego due to the weight limits, or could loan out as a rarity...a crowbar, maybe, good synergy with his strength spell for getting at locked stuff when finesse fails. He's gonna have to do most of his furniture work by hand to save mana, so, one of those screwdriver and wrench sets with multiple fitting sizes, he wouldn't put it past the Scholomance to have, like, Tamper-pruf screws. Hex wrench. Metal glue, to further enhance his paranoid room sealing. That's probably enough to start but a spare multitool wouldn't go amiss either.
The path this time bypasses one stairwell and then doubles back towards it after descending the second one. After a bit more walking and a turnoff just short of the usual shop supply location on the blueprints, a door labeled MMXLVIII can be seen in the corridor wall. A trio of tiny mals flee from the light in lurching hops when Alexius opens it.
...Alexei throws his fireball at them before they can get out of sight, and then calls another one up.
"Not a promising sign. Really don't touch anything in there without double checking it, this time." He takes the rear, waiting by the door.
"If you're volunteering, go ahead!" Angie has a knife in each hand in preparation for throwing them though.
Yolanda checks everything VERY CAREFULLY before she touches it but she does in fact touch all of the things that pass this scrutiny.
"They're protective, mostly against toxins or caustic substances. They let me punch mals without worrying that this will result in some kind of horrible mal blood getting on my bare skin."
Now that's thinking like a self-buffer. Alexius, true to his malbait job, opens the cabinets and drawers for Yolanda to rummage through.
...Zed sits down against a wall, exhausted and shaking just a little bit. Though they sit on their hands so it's not so obvious.
Alexei steps inside while the shelf checking is going on, spots Zed, and immediately moves to crouch in front of them, protective qnd close but ready to spring up at any moment. Angie can get whatever they're getting in here.
"Potion?" He asks them, quiet.
Absolutely not. Alexei reaches around to Zed's bag and rifles in it for a tiny vial, which he uncorks and holds in front of Zed's face.
"Drink."
That's...concerning, but also probably not his business. Alexius pokes about for tools, instead, making a pleased noise when he finds a crowbar.
A few mal vermin, including one cunningly disguised as a dollop of running wood glue, do attempt to bite Yolanda, but they don't get through the gloves.
While that's going on, Angie follows along after Yolanda and stabs things that tries to bite her. And collects useful items from the shelves.
Lily follows behind Yolanda, sorting known-good items into neat piles of tools and materials.
Nia has some Hard Decisions to make about what to take, here. She can tie a few things to her backpack straps, though they will clonk annoyingly against her legs. She can put small objects in her remaining two jars, and wear the tape on her wrist. She can carry both binders in her arms, that's not much worse than hauling just one, and she can tape things in place if they're sticking out of her bag too precariously. But she can still only fit one clamp if she also wants the slip roller which she really does, so she weighs her various choices and picks a nice generic one that looks sufficiently adjustable.
Angie collects wire and a small bag of semi-precious gems and two jars of sand and a screwdriver to augment the one on her multi-tool, which she pats lovingly as she packs her things up. She also finds a beautiful little hammer, and a graver which she had half expected to be on the list of things the spell couldn't find, and she vibrates in place happily for a moment as she grips both to her chest before sliding them carefully into her bag, radiating glee.
And then she packs everything away and goes to crouch next to Alexei and Zed, taking the latter's hand and squeezing gently.
They lean their head against her shoulder and squeeze back. Not exhausted anymore thanks to the potion, but feeling much better with the company.
Yolanda takes as much wire as she can carry, and some semi-precious stones, and ooh wool, and--oh! She scoops up the little wire cutter tucked in behind the wire.
