Breaking the Ice (WIDE OPEN)

Who: Anyone Sick of a gigantic Ice-cicle on our front porch who wants to hep out!
What: Removing the Corrupted Ice
When: d513 and onward
Where: The Viscinity of the Gate of Fire and surrounding areas
Rating: Keep it PG

Meta-Post for all those assisting in breaking up the ice who would like to post logs to that effect. A reminder for you that Here is the OOC Post. The basic rundown of events is that while Baldr and Loki tag-team to assist in purifying the corruption to weaken the ice enough to destroy it, the travelers will be using a combination of ingenuity, well-protected muscle, technology and powers to

a) Keep the ice from going everywhere.
b) Heal workers who get magical frostbite.
c) Melt, explode, break up and destroy the ice, carting any left over out of the city.

This process begins throughout 513, and you may all assume you're cordially invited if you want to help out. I'll leave some general prompts for participants. Remember the following hazards:

Hazards:
-The Ice has not weakened. It's not stronger, and it hasn't grown, but it's just as hazardous as it was to start. Touch it, and you get frostbite that has to be healed magically, and the healing leaves you with regular frostbite to handle the old fashioned way.
-The above matters because part of this plan involves blowing this massive thing of ice to pieces. Yes, you're planning to build big bulwarks and walls, but there's always a risk of some getting on a few of you... or a lot.
-After this is done, clean-up crews will have to scour the streets and search for pieces just in case. ---Once it's all out, the Engineers can focus on rebuilding the Gate of Fire.

"Your fire could come in handy, though. Maybe if used in conjunction with something else." Not like Roland's power - which he's at peace with, really. Even likes it, in a way. Being able to strengthen others if he needs to feels right, somehow. Which doesn't mean it's not inconvenient sometimes. "What were you looking at a moment ago?"

[No worries. There were people in his own world who had no clue what he was talking about most days.]

Yes. [He reached for and took the water with a nod of his head.] Thank you. The rest of the trolls have returned to the game we were finishing and a great deal of death and destruction, though I am told that the afterlife is pleasant. So, there is that.

Either should work, I think. But there'd probably be fewer things that could go wrong with an electric one. On the other hand, if those are the harder to make there's no need to go to all the trouble.

As for protective walls I suppose if we could find someone who can make a more normal sort of ice that would work. Otherwise a more temporary structure ought to be enough. Do we have any sort of brickwork that be spared?
allpurposescarf: (let's just see what we have here)

[personal profile] allpurposescarf 2014-10-02 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I suppose there might be some truth in that. But if the answers aren't coming any other way, can you really blame us?

[No war can be fought on a complete lack of information, after all. And it's true that it isn't always the search for answers that's been getting them into various sorts of trouble, but such is life. Especially when there's so many different people in the city.]

And mostly because I didn't think anything would happen quite as fast as it did.

It doesn't even take a moment of thinking to answer. "No. Everything was going crazy back home and I could do jack shit but try to get to it in time. Here I can do something and that makes slightly better. Yet, the sense of not knowing is the damn same. It just has faces here versus the pure unknown." But the darkness and chaos...

Dirk stares straight ahead for a moment, mulling that information over. "If Chaos and darkness taking hold are signs the tree has problems, my universe is right in the heart of the breakdown. There's no other way to explain all the chaos and bad situations carefully layered the way they are at home. I could be wrong and it all has some grand plan to it."

But he damn well doesn't think so. He stuffs his hands deeper into his pockets as he follows Roland's lead moving away from his tour of inspection. "At the end of it, while the best work is here, I'm antsy to get back home to fix what's going wrong there. I'm not even sure I make any damn sense anymore."
alternia_strength: (Hmmm)

The electric it is. I prefer that method as well, if I am being honest, as much as I appreciate old methods like a lit fuse, I think we will stick to what is tried and true. [He settled down, beginning to draw a plunger and wire.] Plant material from growth users, walls from constructive powers such as my own. Temporary built structures, even shadow powers. They will all work in a pinch.

"You want to work on your own world's problems first," he says, nodding. "But if we are successful here, it'll at least give other worlds the opportunity to heal. Things'll start working the right way again. Which isn't to say there isn't some sort of organized effort behind whatever's happened to your world."

He looks around, spotting the food cart in the distance. "I had a different problem. I was trying to get to the - the tree, as they call it here - from my own world. Coming here, waiting for others to do most of the work-" Roland shakes his head, crossing his arms. "It feels very different."

Well, I certainly can't grow anything. But if it's just the two of us, we couldn't need very much cover. We could borrow one of the carts people are carrying the the shattered bits away with, perhaps?

[personal profile] made_4_ritsuka 2014-10-04 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuiko's ears folded back a little, more fighting and dying. Why were there so many places that were like that. Why couldn't everyone just be nice to eah other and live together without people having to die.]

Oh, so then it must not be too different from the fighting that's happened here. I wonder if there's a pleasant place here if something were to happen?
alternia_strength: (Riiight)

[personal profile] alternia_strength 2014-10-05 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, that was a question she didn't want to ask him. His whole society gloried in that fighting spirit...]

Non-combatants are usually taken to safe houses. If you can reach the comfort house, that is its normal purpose. Folkvang I believe it is called. Extra defenses will be there.
alternia_strength: (Hmmm)

[personal profile] alternia_strength 2014-10-05 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
That should be sufficient for controlled blasts so long as we ensure to clean up shards afterwards and avoid physical contact with them. It certainly seems like an option.

[personal profile] made_4_ritsuka 2014-10-05 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She had been talking about the afterlife part, but she knew about the safe houses. She had been around for the drill. Still she nods her head.]

I want to help everyone I can though too, so I'm going to try to keep from hiding unless things are really bad. That way if the medical team or anyone gets tired I'll be able to help by giving them some of my energy.
alternia_strength: (Ummm?)

[personal profile] alternia_strength 2014-10-06 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Equius - eternally dense.]

An excellent plan. Having that sort of power available can assist in a variety of fashions. Are you the sort who simply gives from yourself or takes and gives to others with ...

...

mandible contact.

[Don't blush, and call it an F'ing kiss, Equius.]

[personal profile] made_4_ritsuka 2014-10-07 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ah well I'm still learning how to use it, but I found that it doesn't have to be something really bad. I could transfer some to Akira-kun by kissing his hand.

[Though it had taken a few weeks to figure that out and get past breaking out blushing and refusing before they came up with that solution.]
alternia_strength: (Bashful)

[personal profile] alternia_strength 2014-10-07 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait... it does not actually require mandible to mandible contact? Just the use of one set? That...

...

That is considerably more tolerable.

We can use the cart to put the shattered ice in, afterwards.

[Assuming they don't mind having to cart away the ice before they take another blast at the ice, but he knows he doesn't, at the least and it means having somewhere for the ice to go afterwards.]
alternia_strength: (Conversation)

[personal profile] alternia_strength 2014-10-08 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Proper gloves and similar materials to collect, but yes. Carts will assist. Very well, however, here is the fuse that you will require. The next step we can take once we are ready.

[personal profile] made_4_ritsuka 2014-10-09 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuiko nods.] It still has to be against their skin though. And I can still only do a little bit rather than a whole lot like some of the others from Freya.
alternia_strength: (Ummm?)

[personal profile] alternia_strength 2014-10-10 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
This was expected. but it is less a romantic gesture unless someone includes considerable effort into establishing it as one, which makes it less... inappropriate. That was my concern.

Have you been... err... practicing? [asked as he tried not to sweat profusely.]
allpurposescarf: (if I'm very clever...)

[personal profile] allpurposescarf 2014-10-11 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I think I should be good with this.

[He indicates his scarf before he takes the fuse. It's true that a scarf isn't necessarily the same as a pair of gloves, but he doesn't see any reason that it wouldn't be suitable.]

Do you think you could find a spare cart while I get this set up?

[personal profile] made_4_ritsuka 2014-10-11 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? [Yep right over her head again. After a moment she'll be nodding her head though.]

Yes, I've been practicing so that I could do more. Ame-kun let me practice a lot when he finished up with patrol.
alternia_strength: (Annoyed)

[personal profile] alternia_strength 2014-10-12 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Mandible to Mandible contact is generally considered to be a romantic gesture in some cultures. But you should continue to practice. It will assist in your stamina.
alternia_strength: (Conversation)

[personal profile] alternia_strength 2014-10-12 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Give me a few minutes. If I cannot find one, I will draw one up. Stamina aiding draughts have to have some sort of value after all. Send a signal when you are ready.

[personal profile] made_4_ritsuka 2014-10-12 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
O-oh n-n-no it's not like that. We haven't, Ame-kun and I have been. . . I've been practicing by using his hand, t-though there was one time I [Yuiko will be turning bright pink now, she had kissed him on the check one time.]

"The composition of the ice. It was possible it was not pure water."

But it is, so... he can only blame magic for being bizarre and unscientific.
