Ooooooooooooooooooooooookay! Up up up! ALL of you beasties. Let us start the show!

[She starts to clap her hands. Shiny metallic fingernails glitter as she sets a beat. Behind her, all spiffed and straightened are all those nasty ghouls! They're walking, no, marching. Stomps and clomps with a clinking of metal and coins they make their way.]

Left and right. Again and again.

[Music plays without end. What a sizable procession! It keeps going right from the stadium. Not a ghoul is stepping out of line, and they all are keeping perfect time paying no mind at all to the citizens and places they pace. This is a sight to be hold. Why, a black parade of dead to be exact. On they go through the snow, to the Drowning Pool. By the time they reach the waters, the sun has set.]

Dive~! Submerge! Plunge!

[The procession goes into the water. Ice is nothing when you're deceased, it shatters. Lina sways and stomps waiting as bubbles rise. For those patient enough to keep observing the lengthening hours can see that the ghouls are retrieving ruins bit by bit. This is not a fast task. Hours and hours into the night, still they toil to retrieve...something. It must have been something once. Up it goes before it stands on an island surrounded by the waters in the early light of day. The ghouls remain on that freshly raised mass.

The orchestrations stop and for one long moment there is no sound. Lina taps her lips.]

[ooc: The procession from the stadium to the lake lasts from the late afternoon until nightfall. All of the mysterious work after will continue slowly through the chilly night to show the newly raised island to the world Sunday morning. Characters are welcomed to observe from a safe distance. Do not disturb~! (It's for the best.)]

So you lot are sure about the water this time? Cause you seemed pretty fucking sure about the fire thing and that didn't really work out.

[laszlo_jamf]

Wait and see, wait and see. The situation is not so simple as you assume it is. In fact, we think you may be pleasantly surprised by what is yet to transpire.

[friggmagnet]

You sure, mate? I haven't been pleasantly surprised since I showed up here.

[laszlo_jamf]

Really? Oh, wow, man. Bummer. We'll have to try harder.

[friggmagnet]

Maybe you should, yeah. What this thing gonna be, anyway?

[laszlo_jamf]

Wait and see--like I said.

[friggmagnet]

When are we finding out?

[laszlo_jamf]

You'll see tomorrow, I think, at the earliest. You'll know some time later than that.

[friggmagnet]

You lot really aren't keen on giving straight answers, are you?

[laszlo_jamf]

Nope.

Or was that too straight an answer for you?

[friggmagnet]

I think I'll live, yeah.

So which one are you?

[laszlo_jamf]

Professor Doctor Laszlo Jamf.

[friggmagnet]

Yeah? Well I'm Odin.

[So suck it, bro.]

[laszlo_jamf]

Cool.

[friggmagnet]

[WHY DOES SAYING THAT NEVER JUST WORK. He's impressive isn't he?]

Yeah, so. Whatever god shit you lot are up to, I want to know about it.

[laszlo_jamf]

Right now, I'm up to my neck in paperwork. Want some of that?

[friggmagnet]

Why the fuck do gods need to do paperwork?

[laszlo_jamf]

Because, Odin ol' boy, godding is more complicated than you might perhaps imagine.

[friggmagnet]

Believe me, between Mike and Ty I get enough fucking reminders of that.

[laszlo_jamf]

Oh, good. So we do have an understanding, then, don't we, Odin ol' buddy ol' pal ol' bean?

[friggmagnet]

Just Axl's fine, actually.

[laszlo_jamf]

Oh, well, fine, then. Axl.

[friggmagnet]

So like, nothing seriously fucked up is happening to the dead people, right? Cause my mum's in there and everything.

[laszlo_jamf]

Not to worry. They are working hard in the service of the City.

[friggmagnet]

I guess that doesn't sound so bad?

[laszlo_jamf]

Trust me, it's not bad at all. In fact, we're utilizing their unique abilities and skills to complete this current task. For instance, since they require no breathing apparatuses, they can be sent en masse underwater with no concern for mechanical malfunctions or loss of oxygen supply. To attempt such a project with, say, divers and surface equipment would at least double if not triple the duration of the project. And the assignments are allotted as suits the individual person involved. Those with greater physical strength will be given such tasks as require greater physical strength. Those with greater digital dexterity will be given such tasks as require greater digital dexterity. We're quite grateful to have such an opportunity, all things considered.

[friggmagnet]

Okay. Sweet.

[Nodding and pretending he understood that, yep.]

At least they're not wandering around, trying to eat people.

[Also no she's not trying to see if the zombie with her dad's face is there, nooo. Not at all. Why would she do that.]
