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')

What if the ah... reaction was the same concoctions used for fireworks? Aren't those incredibly powerful?

[tonsofpun]

I'm not exactly an expert in that area. What's that mean?

[madcuriosity]

You said it would have to be very powerful for it to go away. Well, think of fireworks in the sky and just how big and loud those are. If we put one inside the black ice, and let it go off, wouldn't that be incredibly powerful?

[tonsofpun]

... y'know, maybe if we set off a whole lot of them-

Yeah, it might!

[madcuriosity]

And if we put them on the surface too, as well as inside, then it's far less likely to have the ability to regenerate before being destroyed.

[tonsofpun]

Is there any way to set them off from a distance?

[madcuriosity]

Very long fuses?

[tonsofpun]

Anybody here know how to rig up something like that?

[madcuriosity]

The Doctor?

[tonsofpun]

Eleven? Or a different one?

[madcuriosity]

I should think daddy can do it, yes. Though the Eighth Doctor could probably do it too.
