@thor.odinson GOING TO NORTH AMERICA MINGLE NETWORK POST

[ofmyth]

i have been thinking


we ought to get ourselves to the northern continent of the americas






[[ooc: HI this is Thor putting out there the idea of getting to North America. This was first raised in an ooc discussion post, but it's good to get characters talking about the idea and figuring out how/if people who want to can help the effort.

Please use this network post for group discussion, I'm not planning to have Thor respond to everyone! Contribute your characters ideas for getting there and how etc. Just because Thor wants to take a boat doesn't mean it's the best idea! (see the plot engagement thread for the mods' thoughts on what might work best)

Basically, if we can get a few of the displaced to the shores of NA, another gate can be set up to allow everyone else to go if they want to explore and find stuff out.

Yay!!!!]]

i've made the journey myself on a handful of occasions. the atlantic is wide and deep, but if those brave in heart have a sound ship beneath their feet, then the journey can be made



[ yeah he's calling all of you people who just fly across the atlantic cowards ]

[gravemistake]

You really want to take a boat? Sounds awful.

@jack.miller

[personalwar]

It does, but that's probably also the method that's the least likely to get us spotted by the UN.

[gravemistake]

What do you think you're gonna find there that's worth the trip?

[personalwar]

I'm wondering the same thing. There might be nothing left there. But I guess I'm curious either way.

You're not?

[ofmyth]

a ship

have you any experience with sailing?

[gravemistake]

Oh, so we're not even going to take a boat with an engine?

[ofmyth]

a ship is ocean-worth. a boat is used on a lake. the distinction is matter of size

and i've no qualms taking one with an engine or a sail or both

[ though he'd totally prefer the sail ]

@diana.prince

[monomachy]

How many of the displaced know how to sail? We would need to crew the entire ship.

What about a plane? There are more than a few pilots among us.

@killian.jones

[unmoor]

You only need one capable captain to make a good crew. Sailing isn't simple, but anyone can learn it under the right leadership.

@kyna.medina

[evocation]

you're totally volunteering aren't you?

[unmoor]

It would be my honor.

[monomachy]

I take it you're said capable captain?

@kyna.medina

[evocation]

i bet you ten bucks there's some fucked up radioactive sea monster off the coast of jersey or something

[ofmyth]

all the more reason to sail there and defeat it

[evocation]

have you ever been to new jersey?

@adam.parrish

[scrlies]

A plane would take less time.

[ofmyth]

aye, it would. and if we find a craft and have the means to use it without detection, i'll not say we shouldn't take it

avoiding surveillance, however we go, will be our biggest hurdle

[scrlies]

Could we ask Henries for help there?
He has his own space shuttle, why not a plane?

@john.dixon

[baum]

How did you get there?

[ofmyth]

a longship

[baum]
