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')

[Video] sorry for the wait, sibling birthday week

Something is better than no progress at all. We'll see if it's a good something or bad news when we get to that phase.

[Video] no worries!

[allpurposescarf]

That would be the easiest way of doing things, yes. Although hopefully it's not the bad sort of news. That sort is never the easiest to deal with, in the end.

Not to mention in this case, it could cause a shitton of problems. We'll see. Worrying about it before the event will cause unnecessary stress.

[allpurposescarf]

So it will. Best to leave it to be one thing at a time.

[timaeus_testified]

Exactly. If we get too far ahead, we'll only be overwhelming ourselves with possibilities that might not even fuckin happen. That's not something we want to do with a potentially dangerous situation. [Boy does he know from experience.]

[allpurposescarf]

No, no. It never really is. Admittedly, sometimes you can't really help it, but better to not push things. Not when we'll have enough to deal with as things stand.

And with so many people involved, besides.

[timaeus_testified]

I agree. So in the interests of not thinking too far ahead, know how to construct barriers? I'm talking the kind that can weather a bomb and be just fine.

If you're asking about what I can do here, I don't have anything useful, no. It's all in here, mine.

[He taps the side of his head at that, and offers a grin that seems to be maybe a little bit sheepish.]

But I do know how it's done. I'd just need something to make them with.
