((Wait, so flooding a mostly-uninhabited world to prevent it from draining souls from everyone in the rest of the universe is a horrible thing to do, but mind rape is A-OK?))

Do whatever possible to stabilize the world.
Vanhurk, if you please, would you mind assisting me? This is well into your domain. I extend the same compensation I offered to Rassura to you as well, should you help.

"Would be my pleasure.
Let out a roar of the mightiest quality to let the universe know there has got to be some order around here. God you gotta love polar bear roars.

((Let me put it this way.

You know house elves from Harry Potter? Aside from Dobby, they're perfectly content to serve wizards and put up with any abuse they receive. Even Dobby feels a compulsion to punish himself brutally for such "crimes" as almost telling Harry about who he serves. How do you feel about the guys who made house elves that way?
Your proposed course of action is obviously not the same, but it's still bad. It's like pointing out that grand larceny is bad to explain why it's wrong to swipe a book from a bookstore; you shouldn't really have to, but if they don't get it, you can bring up the analogy.))

Alright. You want to help me work on it after we figure out what this crab-thing is? You think it's friendly? if not, I wonder if it's edible. I've never eaten, and it looks kinda tasty. Maybe we could get Nohpalli to cook it."

As the eruptions begin to wane, Nohpalli's various faces one by one become calmer. Several of the eyes and mouths still glow red and spew blazing embers, but he appears to have himself under control. Then he hears the mention of his name and cooking in the same sentence, and the inner flames begin to roar again as the faces twist into expressions of ravenous glee.

"Cooking, did you say? Food? By all means, let it be done; no god should be made to subsist on heat alone!"

((As for my two-cents on the flooding of Ostrioth, I kinda like it. It's pretty neat lore-wise, and I don't see any reason to get too upset about it OOC. Sure, as a Fire Aspect, and a little bit of an asshole of one, Nohpalli's pissed (or was until he realized he was hungry), but that's just the character.))

Turn 11: Charisma


Rassura spends the next few turns taking a nap.

((Yeah, I'm gonna be gone for a few days.))
You curl up and erratically gyrate yourself to sleep.

That sounded wrong.


Do whatever possible to stabilize the world.
Vanhurk, if you please, would you mind assisting me? This is well into your domain. I extend the same compensation I offered to Rassura to you as well, should you help.
[6] You know how to fix this! You collapse the world in on itself, ejecting and crushing the heat into a boiling atmosphere and incandescent core. The rest of the planet becomes a ball of tightly-compacted volcanic rock, covered with elaborate lines from various collapse and overlap points.


Go poke the crab!
[4] You poke the crab, which appears rather startled.

[5-1] "Ah, greetings!" it announces in a tinny voice, tipping a tiny tophat you hadn't noticed before. "Say, you look like you could be of assistance. Did you know you can channel the powers of Aspects through other things? Why don't you help me tap into that sleeping thing over there; she's not using her powers anyway, right?"


((How about instead of letting this boil over into OOC arguments, we just accept that there's been a misunderstanding and that it's not worth getting overly ruffled over?))

Rassura spends the next few turns taking a nap.

"Ms. Rassura! Would you care to mindlessly assist me in a few tasks while you are asleep?"

Begin liquefying the atmosphere of the gas giant and infusing it with water and ice! The planet Purple shall hold things of interest yet!
[5] The purple planet's atmosphere becomes a violet ocean of water, ice, and various gasses and other particles. This absorbs the layer of ice coating the core.


((Divine war? All I see is Quinghai and Mort trying rather ineffectually to hurt each other. This isn't my argument to jump into, but why do you need OOC knowledge to determine your IC actions? It seems like IC/OOC separation is kind of important in this game. All that aside, can y'all just drop it so we can get back to the actual game instead of making pages upon pages of OOC pissing contests?))

"Aha! It worked! Perhaps I can get Firalk to help me make some life on it. Maybe some sort of squid-like thing with tentacles that are actually made of smaller filaments that it can manipulate individually for tasks that require finesse. Oh, and it could have bladder-like sacs to hold gasses that it produces to allow it to float above the dense gas core and maneuver through the lighter gas atmosphere." Aquilos says quietly to himself before looking around for Firalk to request aid. Upon spotting the wolf and the new crab, he goes over to check it out.

Go check out that crab. Also, ask Firalk for help.

((I'm guessing the crab came out of that little white ball that appeared a little bit ago, right?))
[2] Heehee! It has a little tophat!


Do whatever possible to stabilize the world.
Vanhurk, if you please, would you mind assisting me? This is well into your domain. I extend the same compensation I offered to Rassura to you as well, should you help.

"Would be my pleasure.

[5] You let out an echoing roar promoting order. It is persistent but not terribly effective, at least at physical alterations.


[4-1] The crab forms a spherical bronze cage around the napping shark.

Sorry to interrupt everyone's planning, but SURPRISE TURN.
