[OPEN] engineers doing engineering things and other people too

[artifacetious]

Who: Engineers! City Patrol! Other observant folks or misdials, idk come up with a reason to be there if you want!
What: Outside-of-the-city defense systems?! Yup.
When: Day 476, morning
Where: Just outside Asgard, on the other side of the wall.
Rating: PG-13..?

[ Asgard's Engineers will wake up this morning not just to more snow, but also a text from a paranoid redhead pushing up her timetable:

Heyyyyyy if there's anybody free today we could use some help mounting defenses around the city. Since sure, freak snow could be freak snow... or it could be yet another straight to DVD sequel of Crazy Ice Bitch Attacks.

We've got spare gloves and tools and enough cable to circle at least twice but we're short on hands and time, so help would be great.

The plan is to wire clockwise from the gate, and you seriously can't miss us. Just scurry farther around.

Thx!
xoXO


Claudia & Friends

Those inclined to answer her call to wrenches and venture out in the snow will find three people (Claudia, September, and Tony) and several carts worth of supplies and equipment. It's obvious that they've done a lot of work on the devices but mounting them today (right this instant yes now yes Tony we're putting them up today get your ass in gear) was a spontaneous endeavor. They're holding up schematics and pointing at random spots on the wall and ground, and look quite ridiculous from a distance, I'm sure.

They can find something for everyone to do, even if it's just passing tools or holding ladders! (Or fetching cocoa, who doesn't want some cocoa after working in the snow for awhile?)

Since City Patrol didn't get the memo, they'll likely be wondering what the those crazy scientist types are doing out there. The fuck are they burying? What are they putting on top of the wall, it's not guns or lights...? Maybe someone should check that out. ]



(( OOC: The devices being mounted on and around the wall are electric and laser based. If your character wants to mount defenses of their own they must be mod approved and please mention it to me so I can add it to the [WORKING ON IT, I'LL EDIT IT IN] ooc info post for reference. Thanks! ))

It does tend to help, a little. On the other hand, they really do all start to be of the same cloth, after a while. There's only so many threats you can hear before it starts to get a little tedious.

[Especially when you keep having to thwart the various plans that go with the various sort of tyrants and despots.]

But I'd imagine she knows, at the very least. It's just that we aren't likely to be told, unless she happens to be in a gloating mood.

[He nods along with the Doctor's words, chuckling softly to himself.]

So your world has its fair share of super-villains, I'm guessing?

[allpurposescarf]

It isn't all one world. I do rather a lot of traveling, you see. But generally speaking, yes. Sometimes it's like you can't come across another world without finding yet another person in that mold.

[modernmarvel]

World, universe. Tree branch. it's all the same thing, really.

What can I say, megalomania seems to be a universal phenomenon.

[allpurposescarf]

If you have a big enough tree.

[Which is presumably the case here, given what little he knows about the mythology in question. And of course, he's not quite certain that it's a real tree. He's known some that are terribly metaphorical before.]

And it does certainly seem to be. But at least it's easy enough to spot, when you know what to look for.
