Care to share with the class?

No.

(Maybe later.)

Nai cares a lot about keeping the location of his tunnels a secret though so he kicks up a ton of sand and wind for his whole range around it, creating an artificial sandstorm. If it had been just him he wouldn't have bothered but with several plants coming with he wants to make sure things are sufficiently hidden.

(...also he has a little bit of a dramatic flair.)

(Nowhere near as much as Zash does though.)

(Keep telling yourself that bub.)

And so a sandstorm appears in the distance and from it emerges the floating figure, arms crossed in the air, trailed by the plants inside their tanks, all moving in silent unison.

Nobody shoots at him! Amazing.

Yvette finds the dramatic flair quite charming, and also appealing on other axes because. ... She has a type, okay. She has accepted this. Anyway she'll go hang out in the plant factory and see to getting everyone properly plugged in and set up.

The town looks very different than it did when Nai last, uh, "visited". A lot less like a bunch of scrap metal cobbled together in the vague shape of habitation, a lot more like something purposefully and competently (if somewhat hastily) built. The layout isn't the most intuitive, for defensibility reasons, but it's sensible at what it is.

...huh. He kind of... appreciates this? He's not sure why.

Anywho, the main attraction is still where it was and Nai can just float over there and bring the plants in one by one to get them installed.

The plants are hooked up without issue, and begin generating accordingly. The return of the water supply is the most dramatic, and obvious. While Jeneora doesn’t (currently) have a fully functioning plumbing system to all the buildings in various states of construction or repair, it does have a centralized location from which everyone is accustomed to acquiring water.

The fact that it’s the diner means that the ensuing party doesn’t have to go anywhere. Clean water!! Drinking water and showers and soon they’ll get the good food, too!

...hey can Nai make food for these people?

...but they hate him.

Well, yeah, they do, but they'd probably still accept. If nothing else, it's better than the rations, they're in a good mood, and Zash will ask beforehand.

Food is complicated.

Their sisters can show him the ropes!

Fine. He'll make food. He guesses.

So after making sure that the townies are in fact okay with it (which they are, if grudgingly) he gets them some nice food to go with the party. Zash does his standard special move of "aggressively not being awkward in awkward situations" and the party goes well into the night. And with how no one needs to stay watch (because the plants can do that instead) they all go to bed watered, sated, and happy.

...and Zash stays behind, after the last straggler, after everyone is gone. He spends an hour alone in the diner after everyone's gone to sleep, after he's told Yvette she should go too, after everyone but him and his siblings have long since been accepted into Morpheus's embrace. Just him and his siblings, now.

But his sisters can tell that he wants to be alone, and his brother... mostly can, too. So they leave him alone.

And after about an hour of drinking booze alone in the diner he walks over to the piano, which miraculously survived the destruction mostly intact and then what wasn't intact got fixed on the off-chance that they could eventually sell it. He sits at it. Stares at it.

He spends another hour there, staring at it.

Then he wipes the surface of the piano cover with one hand and pulls it up.
