Hey guys, about the end of the world thing.

I think my gravity powers could come in handy. If there is a portal that opens up, I am going to try to keep it closed or open it up, whatever we need to have happened to ... I'm not sure, I guess we'll see when it happens. But if anyone else has any more definitive plans, let me know. I want help any way I can.

[bifroster]

yeah you be careful with all of this going on

[FOR CERTAIN REASONS HE'LL UNDERSTAND]

private text until noted otherwise

[made_up_names]

[ YEAH UH. Yes. Yes, he gets that. He makes a face behind his screen, then switches to private. ]

i dont want to be careful, i want to HELP
so i can totally help
maybe i can web a portal shut

[bifroster]

i get that, i do

i don't know how many times i have been told to stay on the sidelines just because. so maybe. be smart?

the web idea sounds like a good one.

[made_up_names]

i can be smart
i just need a chance yknow
so lets be smart together, and if i cant web portals shut i can at least web you to the ground so you dont get pulled into one

[Jane thinks about her next text for a while, because his words kind of resonate with her. It's one thing to say that she gets it, but what would she have loved for an adult to do when she was in his shoes? what had she asked for all the time that he literally just asked for now?]

okay. that would let me focus my gravity powers on the portal instead of the portal and trying to keep from getting sucked in too.

you want to meet me there if/when this goes down?

[made_up_names]

[ It helps a hell of a lot, honestly. Even if it's relatively small, it's something that he's uniquely suited to assisting with. ]

yeah of course
please

[justaddh2o]

I could probably help with that, actually.... I reckon, the air has moisture in it, which means I can make ice out of it, so I could free it open for you, yeah? You just have to hold it until I can finish. Team work?

( Which is not to say she isn't nervous because believe her, she really, really is. )

[bifroster]

Team work. That would help, especially if we need to keep something from coming through. Not much can get through solid ice easily.

[Jane is nervous as well, but might as well think of something, right?]

[justaddh2o]

Yeah, if we have to keep it closed, I could try to do the same thing, only instead of lining it, I could try closing it off, although I dunno that I've ever tried anything that big in scale. Only one way to find out if I can do it though, yeah?

[bifroster]

Exactly. Some other people have similar ideas and your powers might be compatible with what they plan to do as well, so it will make the sealing structure even stronger.

[justaddh2o]

Right, well then that's sorted, you'll just have to let me know where to be and when to be there.

[bifroster]

Of course. I wouldn't leave you out.

And thank you, Rikki.

[duelo]

Please be careful, Jane...

[bifroster]

I will. I've been in worse situations before.

[duelo]

That's really not as reassuring as you probably think it is.

[bifroster]

Yeah, it never is. Um. I'm short and short people always manage to survive? Or cause trouble?

[duelo]

That is really true in my experience, actually...

[bifroster]

Now is not the time to brag about how tall you are.

[But it is a pan-universal fact.]

[cantgetanyworse]

Oh, do be careful. I wish there was more I could do.

[bifroster]

Hey, you gave us that information. That was plenty useful. It's also not fair to assume everyone can help in all the same ways, so don't feel bad.

[cantgetanyworse]

Oh, I know, it just feels so strange to think that we're all here with these special gifts, but I'm still having to rely on other people to take up arms for me.

[bifroster]

Well, maybe when this is over, and everything has gone according to plan, you can take up some self-defense lessons. A friend of mine, Carol, might be able to teach you.

[cantgetanyworse]

Really? That sounds like a sensible thing to be doing.

[bifroster]

I should probably do it too. We'll have to ask her!
