Purple plants one hand on the greenhouse frame and tips her chin toward the trembling roof ribs. Storm grit rattles through the seams, but the seedlings below sit still at last.
Purple
This shelter holds for now. Not forever. We need to know what fails first.
She scans the patched walls, the damp beds, the way Orange stays close to Green without crowding her. Her gaze is calm, measuring, already sorting risks.
Orange
Then tell us where to start. I can work the frame, seal the gaps, whatever buys us time.
Purple lowers her hand from the beam and points to the far wall where dust is slipping through a hairline crack. The storm throws a dull удар through the structure, and the whole room answers with a low shiver.
Purple
That seam. Then the roof struts. If the wind shifts harder, the garden goes back to ruin.
Green stands between the beds and the broken edge of the world, while Orange and Purple wait for her to move or speak.

“I call upon the plants for help, summoning vines to grow in and secure the seams”
FAILURE (Good Survival, rolled -2)
Green reaches for the living grain in the walls, and the greenhouse answers. Thin roots creep from the damp bed edging, test the air, then push toward the hairline crack.
For one breath, the seam knits tighter. Dust eddies back. Then the storm pressure bites harder, and the tender shoots blacken at the tips, their grip loosening before they can fully set.
Green the Colossus
The plants feel the crack before I do.
A narrow section of wall holds anyway, held by living tendrils and packed grit, but the strain shifts to the roof rib above it with a sharp creak.
Purple
Good, the seam showed us where it wants to break. Stop feeding that line, and work the rib instead.
Orange
I can brace the frame while you try for the upper joints. We do this together, or the next gust wins.
Purple lifts her hand from the wall and points upward, already moving to the roof supports as the seedlings below settle under their shelter again.
“I ask the growing vines to brace the roof rib”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled +0)
Green answers the rib with a quiet call, and the greenhouse seems to listen. The new growth that clings to the wall stretches upward, not toward the crack now, but along the stressed beam above it.
Fine tendrils thread over the rib, find the gaps in the old frame, and settle in with a trembling grip. Dust shakes loose, then slows as the living brace takes some of the load.
Purple
That is it. Hold there.
Purple
The strain finally has somewhere to go.
Orange shifts under the support line, adding his weight where the wood complains loudest. The creak softens to a rough groan, still tense, but no longer slipping.
Purple
We keep this shape and the roof stays ours. Look to the drain after this, the lost clamp there may still matter.
Above them, the seam holds, the rib steadies, and the storm rattles outside without breaking in.
