Video - Because You Love His Smiling Face (Threadjacking welcome)

[asgardspride]

[This message is unfiltered. It's that adorable, smug, irritating face that pretty much everybody in Asgard wants to punch. He hasn't been on the network in a while, but he's also been overworked helping to keep things nice and stable and the magic going properly, and some of his antics have been a little draining.

But he's back, from outer space... or whatever. Aren't you all lucky?

Behind him is a spear of jagged, ugly, blackish ice that people in the north of town have likely seen several times before. The remnants of Thiazi's backlash some time ago remain, despite efforts and study. Finally, folding his arms, he turned towards the feed and spoke. For once? He didn't sound too arrogant.]

Alright, so I know a few of you've been talking about ideas on how to clean the porch up. I think we've done enough window dressing for my tastes. It's high time we dealt with this thing. I'm all for your brilliant ideas. This is exactly what the engineers are supposed to do anyway.

And don't be shy. Just because you're not in my glorious band of misfit idiots doesn't mean you can't help. It's not like anybody wants this health hazard to stick around. So pipe up. I know some of you have been coming up with ideas, but it's time to actually get started, wouldn't you say?

(OOC: Threadjacking is invited in this thread. This is a chance for Engineers to plot/plan and non-engineers to add their own muscle. Several players have voiced interest in bringing down this ice flow and rebuilding the wall/Gate of Fire. I know at least 2-3 who've made attempts. You're all invited. Baldr's just being his usual dick self and kicking things in gear. Ultimately, it's player plots that will bring it down. I'll check with the mods on the 'how')

I think my shadow control might be able to help more than my healing with this at least. I'm just not sure how. I mean, trying to create a shadow inside of it to push out and break it probably wouldn't quite work.....? Maybe a combination of the powers working together at it though. Or at the very least I could help with basic first aid if anyone gets hurt trying anything.

[asgardspride]

That's a lot like what one of the others is saying with the plants. Your shadows are also less likely to freeze inside there, so there's that too. You might also be able to help hit this fuse a couple are talking about if they try to blow it sky-high.

[littlesurvivor]

I just figure....if we can't melt or break it from the outside like we've tried already. Time to come up with another idea. If my shadows can help, I'll try, once we figure out a plan to get rid of this ice.

[She gives a nod. Blowing things up makes a lot of noise and attracts attention but there are no walkers to worry about here. If blowing the ice up might help break it apart, it's worth a try.]

[asgardspride]

Good. As long as you're ready to go when we do this to a few options helps, having access to as much power as possible's at least useful just for that.

[littlesurvivor]

Right. If we work together with all these powers I'm sure we'll come up with something that will work beyond the obvious fire with Odin. Or even with the energy transfer for those of us with powers aren't so practical helping with something like this....

[asgardspride]

Don't knock Transfer and Lending. They seem weak right up until a fire user sends a fireball out boosted by one of them.

[littlesurvivor]

I get the idea behind them. I've just not worked alongside one with either yet and they aren't powers I've had experience with since I went from Sigyn to Hel myself. But there are plenty of options with all these powers if we work together. I assume boosting the Odin fire has already been tried initially.

[asgardspride]

To my knowledge? No. It might have, but I doubt on any real scale yet. We're talking about a group effort here that's well beyond what you'd think of with just two people.

[littlesurvivor]

Yeah. That's why I think we should try figure what has already been attempted. Or start over but on a bigger scale, bigger groups working together against the ice. With enough of us, we're bound to figure some combination to get rid of it. It's been long enough now, maybe its weaker than it was initially even. Not that I'm the most familiar with magic, but it's...possible?

[asgardspride]

Talk amongst yourselves and you can be sure that way what's been done. But, let's just hope that the power is weaker.

[littlesurvivor]

If it isn't weaker yet we can at least figure a way to make it. Do we need to talk to you about ideas before we try it? Or is this a trial and error thing we can just go for it and see what sticks?

[She understands certain attempts may end up more potentially dangerous than others. Which is why she asks. That and if they do need permission and try something without knowing that. Better to be aware first than get in trouble later.]

[asgardspride]

No, just be careful for now. I'll get everyone together when we're ready to move. Trial and error's the name of the game.

(OOC Post will go up today or tomorrow, provided my internet isn't being a butt like the rest of my state.)
