[Stirk]

You have been toldthe short history of this Reality, all that remains is to introduce those who will be creating the rest of it.

In a form rather suited to his name, The Lock and the Key has promised to Seal off this Reality from outside influence. Perhaps one of The Lock and Key's Outsider friends, the giant stone millipede Petra of Stone arrives from through one of the many Gates. Nostalgic for a time before his time, Ik wishes to return to Nothing. The Civilized warrior Hannah takes an interest in the working of mortals who have as of yet failed to materialize on this Reality. Likewise the Awe inspiring Dakka! has taken a similar interest in mortal conflict. Resol, the Biggest Loser, wishes for all to be equal in its many eyes as Loosers. The confusingly crossed out Stria is also here. Longing Traveler Calnoch has dreams of making their ideal home a reality. Finally Ezpé the Light of Hope seeks to bring her gift to the soon to be mortals of the soon to be world.

Joining them is the Gates, who have already proven to be an influence on this Reality by granting it many of its gods. With no Self to introduce the Gates are currently nameless.
There is One Mighty Major Gate, standing proudly above its kin.
There are Three Contemporary Medium Gates, one barely hanging on to existence and soon to fade (2 Ticks), one of below average lifespan (5 Ticks), and one set to live the average amount for its type (7 Ticks).
There are Five Transient Minor Gates, who's existence may fade with no warning to the gods attempting to gain their power.

If there is anything in this Reality besides that listed here (and of course the Nothing), it is well hidden. It is now up to the Gods' many hands to shape as they see fit.

Tumblers shifting.

Assume direct control [7 Inner I]: Conquer the Mighty Major Gate A. Name it Seal 1.
Lock and the Key surrounds Seal 1 with a forest of red tape, keeping out others.

Seal Seal 1 [1 Inner I]: If successful in claiming, seal the Major Gate Seal 1.
The Lock and the Key submerge the major gate in molten lead, which rapidly hardens into a sturdy seal.

Lock and Key offers 2 Influence to construction of a world, pending upon potential tenders.

With the lack of any world tenders, Lock and Key will attempt to get discussion unlocked. Initial proposal, world-lock. Optional, radiant moon-sun key. Picture courtesy of voidcorp marketing

Current consensus: 4/9 Deities
Current pledged support: 8/20 Influence

Lock and Key believes consensus is imminent. It requests deities to begin ponying up their influence.

[Luckyowl]

I shall contribute 6 Influence. I hope it'll do us good.

Lock and Key commends the generous contributors to this tender and notes another 6 influence is required to reach the target. Lock and Key is currently keeping some influence in reserve, anticipating further worldbuilding expenses, but may up their contribution if the situation warrants.
