@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 will not tell you there is no danger in sailing a ship across the open ocean. but no ship i have sailed on has ever sunk and this will not be the first


[ no one ask thor's brother if this is true ]

[incelligent]

ok but

[Simon is big on numbers. If the sample size is too small, whoever this is may still be unreliable.]

how many ships has that been, exactly

[ofmyth]

it's hard to give an estimate

at the least several tens of thousand

[incelligent]

don't mean to sound like i'm doubtin ya here, but

you sure you got your numbers straight?

[ofmyth]

i have sailed less in the last hundred years or so, since other forms of transport have become more popular

but at least ten ocean voyages each year over the span of at least a thousand years.... aye. i believe it is accurate

[ is thor enjoying this? yes, a little ]

[incelligent]

so... you're over one hundred years old?

and, you've really sailed all those ships and not a single one of those voyages went wacky?

[I mean, this dude is here to tell the tale after all. It doesn't occur to Simon that he might be immortal.]

wow

neato

[Neato.]

[ofmyth]

aye. neato.

[ that's a new response to thor, but he gets the gist of it ]

and you are correct. not a one has gone awry

and will reach out to you once i have done further research

[ofmyth]

what manner of research are you hoping to undertake

[incelligent]

you've been around here for a while, right?

[He doesn't know for sure. He's just fishing.]

surely you gotta have some kinda reputation

[simon... u've been here for 2 minutes and urs is already trash, wh

[ofmyth]

since the displaced first began to appear here, more or less

i have a cooltalk if that will help your research. otherwise i cannot speak of my own reputation

[he's just short circuiting, this thirsty repressed teen has not been exposed to more than one Hot Person in the past eight of his eighteen years of life]

[ofmyth]

[incelligent]

then just put it ONE photo

[LOOK WHO IS JEALOUS]

[ofmyth]

ah i understand

you wish me not to share many images of the beer i am drinking. i will try to refrain in the future

[ you're talking about six packs of beer, of course ]

[incelligent]

sure

[glaksjdf god he's turning red this is embarrassing this whole conversation is EMBARRASSING]

let's put it that way

[ofmyth]

a good friend of mine abstains from alcohol, so i know all too well that it is not a matter to be taken lightly. i thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[ and genuinely, he wonders if perhaps he ought not post so many pictures of what he's drinking, if only for tony's sake ]

[incelligent]

good

i am glad that you see the error of your ways

[somebody is off to take a long, cold shower.]

if i choose to board the boating enterprise, i will report back to you

[ofmyth]

do not take too long or we mail sail without you

[incelligent]

[He doesn't answer.

He's really not much of a sailor anyway.]
