gravity fix shenanigans

[reposing]

Hey folks!

So I know that a good lot of characters are super down with trying to get the gravity fixed. That's really awesome. I, personally, have no strong feelings about having it threaded out or handwaved, but I figured it would be most realistic to (1) figure out how long it takes for stuff to get back into order and (2) who's involved in getting this stuff fixed!

(1) it was suggested in the Discord channel that it would take a couple of days, so I'm thinking maybe around 6/3 or 6/4 is about when this is resolved.

(2) I have a handy dandy form to figure out who was involved, and a general idea of how they assisted!

<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Summary:</b> Basically, what did they do to help! <b>Anything else?:</b> Questions, comments, silly gifs, meme it up if you want!

I hope this helps! Please don't feel any pressure to fill anything out, but I just figured it might give a good sense of who to acknowledge where if it comes up in the future.

Character Name: Alucard
Summary: Alucard is able to fly around without the assistance of the boosters, and also put in all of his strength to move debris and get the ring moving again. As a result, he tore open an old wound on his chest and bled everywhere because he's metal af.
Anything else?:

Character Name: Erik Lehnsherr aka Henryk Gursky
Summary: Erik is going to be using the same equipment as all the standard humans even though he definitely doesn't need it to keep from flying into space. Mostly this is just a waste of the magboots, though. He still needs the space suit and oxygen to survive.
Anything else?: I am really interested in this excursion resulting in Erik revealing his powers to everybody. This is particularly interesting to me because it doesn't require anybody act rashly for it to happen. There's a lot that can go wrong in space and they have all that debris flying around, and the rings spinning, almost none of them have training in this, so it's entirely possible for accidents to happen. Erik can use the magboots or whatever metal is on a person to yank them back to the space station, so long as they're not too far away when he sees them. (We can definitely stretch those boundaries, though. I'm all about that space terror) I've talked to a few people about it, but I don't mind this happening multiple times. So if it sounds like something you'd like to get involved with let me know!

Character Name: Dirk Strider
Summary: Space flight and general technical knowledge is very useful removing big rocks, and he's up for it. He especially feels the need to go all-in because he doesn't want to waste a suit.
Anything else?:

[mutants]

Character Name: Polaris (is how she'll want people to address her during this)
Summary: TV!Magneto powers with nerfs. Can fly without boosters and mag without boots, as well as nudge metal-containing debris along and drag people back to safety via their boots or using metal debris as a life-preserver. She will require one vac suit as due to the limited range of her abilities, she'll have to be outside to make the best use of them.
Anything else?: She's pretty "out" with her powers already, since they cause her hands and the object she's controlling to glow green. Her log comment is OTA across the board and links to her Reverie plotting post, but I'm happy to plot here too! She hasn't done much since arriving in late May so I'm looking forward to establishing her during the event and welcome all kinds of CR. Here's Starfire cosplaying as her, for your time:

[magneticfields]

Kind of tangential but I do want them to get into the whole "Magneto is hiding his abilities" thing bc I feel like she would not appreciate what he's doing at all lol

[mutants]

She is all about any borderline-valid target for her directionless anger to moor to. He'd almost be doing her a favour.

[magneticfields]

He's a giver

[fragmento]

Character Name: Jacopo
Summary: He's a 1000 year old ghost so this whole gravity thing isn't too big of a deal to him. He still needs the space suit and oxygen, however — he's, physically, your average human but has the resilience and determination of a roach. Dragging people back, helping dislodge them rocks, he will essentially do anything you need him to but most certainly will not be at the center of it all.

Anything else?:

[solarcharged]

Character Name: Apollo
Summary: Zooms around helpfully! He doesn't need a suit or mag boots as he is a frequent space flyer. He has the strength to be able to move debris and he can laser-eye anything that needs dislodging too - but at a price. Any power he exerts will need to be topped up again with more sun exposure because he just loves sunbathing, god damn.

Also he's suffering badly from the random paralysis mid-flight, which is fun, so lmk if you want to get smashed in to by an Apollo-shaped chunk of actual human debris. He will be so apologetic later.

Anything else?: look if he had full power he would just yeet this station down to the planet and be done with it ok

[magneticfields]

ok but hypothetically if somebody were to get smashed by paralyzed Apollo wouldn't that kill them immediately

[unshielding]

Character Name: Steve Rogers
Summary: Anything that requires strength or taking risks so that other don't have to is his jam. He'd rather be half dead than let someone else get a paper cut lbr. He'll definitely be outside with a space suit. I still have to get his toplevel up on the log. He's had some strong words with a few people, but he'll instantly put it aside when the thinks anyone could be in danger. He's not really the kind of guy to hold petty grudges, anyway.
Anything else?: I definitely wouldn't mind using this to get new CR or further existing stuff or even to handwave something to set up new stuff in the future.

[morphogenia]

Character Name: Kamala Khan
Summary: Kamala will be helping clear the debris by embiggening her arms so she can have the strength to do it. No, this doesn't compromise her space suit since her power allows her to manipulate whatever she is wearing. No, we don't know how. Shut up already!!!

Anyways, she'll need all the standard equipment to do all this. She can also catch whoever floats away by lengthening her arms and holding them in her giant hand. Basically she's super useful and thank Miller for teaching her how to go outside so she can do this!!
Anything else?: She'll probably ask people don't mention her freaky superpowers to anyone outside this mission.

Character Name: Rhea'li Ackhsh;kajhsksdf Akhbala
Summary: It's less him helping and more him stomping along outside in a space suit and mag boots and commanding his own floating rock to punch the other rocks out of the way. He also has spells in the form of lasers (thanks Alucard for supplying the paper) that would help break the larger pieces of debris into smaller, more movable pieces.
Anything else?: I'LL be tagging around, eventually!! But if you want me to hit you up specifically lmk.

Character Name: Mike Slattery
Summary: Okay, this isn't so much what was done, but an effort to try and figure out what to do. Namely about the pool. I know different groups have suggested different things... Is anyone actually planning anything? If not, Mike and some friends have some ideas.
Anything else?:

[donkeyballs]

Alex would argue very strongly against spacing it - they are on a limited water supply, folks, you can't just get rid of it

also you probably wouldn't be able to get it out the airlock before most of it froze in the doorway

[charlieoscar]

To follow, Mike isn't against trying to save it, but he doesn't want it mixed with their actual water supply until they're sure it be wholly and entirely filtered.

A dysentery outbreak is the last thing they need on the station.

[twoaffirmations]

Character Name: 9S
Summary: 9S would have gone outside to try and assess the damage at least :|b he does have a sword that can slice through metal as well, so maybe he helped dislodge it? He'd be willing to cooperate with anyone else involved, he doesn't need to breath in space either.
Anything else?: I did a few tag-outs, if anyone else is interested in 9S just shoot me a link!
