Breaking the Ice (WIDE OPEN)

[asgardspride]

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.

But I am a human, I'm a person, a person. Do all trolls have gray skin?

[Suddenly she remembered why she had been coming around in the first place.]

Oh, I'm sorry you wanted to drink. Umm, I'm sorry about thinking you had lost your bracelet too.

[alternia_strength]

Ah, wait, you underwent an alchemization process or hybridization as part of the ascendancy to god-tier? I was unaware we had someone other than Jade-human that had done this. Excellent.

All is forgiven. I suppose it is an easier mistake to make now. I am the only one of our kind here at present. We had more once upon a time.

[made_4_ritsuka]

[Huh, Yuiko was completely lost with the statement about hybridization and ascendancy.]

Did everyone else go home?

[She'll be holding out the water now, though she's certainly still listening.]

[alternia_strength]

[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.

[made_4_ritsuka]

[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]

[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.

[made_4_ritsuka]

[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]

[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.]

[made_4_ritsuka]

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]

Wait... it does not actually require mandible to mandible contact? Just the use of one set? That...

...

That is considerably more tolerable.

[made_4_ritsuka]

[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]

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.]

[made_4_ritsuka]

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]

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.

[made_4_ritsuka]

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.]

[alternia_strength]

Accidents happen in this sort of thing. It is a somewhat inappropriate power as is, so they are almost unavoidable. Regardless, that is more than I needed to know, I assure you.
