OOC DISCUSSION POST: Putting an End to the End

[asgardmods]

About halfway through the events of the E.T. Phone Home catastrophe, the gods will push a message (which may or may not have been penned entirely by Freyr) en masse to all bracelets connected to the network. It will cut through the static and network malfunctions to read:

The World Tree is dying. You are resourceful heroes, Travelers, and you've saved this world once already from Thiazi. Now, please: help us save it from itself.

Our resources are at your disposal. Let us work together from now until the end, whenever that might be.

Currently, Asgard has a "stock" endgame in store, but how the events pan out (and what exactly those events are going to be) can be easily influenced by the Travelers interested in doing so. This is a post for OOC discussion about things to do and try, and also a place for handwaving IC research/investigation.

Think of this a little like Dungeons and Dragons: since it's not feasible to expect someone to RP "sitting in the library for two days researching X topic," HERE is an example of how the handwaving will go. Are they writing a letter to the dwarves? Pestering the dragons? Poring over books from the forbidden section of Vanaheim? Let me know, and we'll work out what they find out, and how it could be useful! There is no "right" answer, or certain "revelation" that I'm looking for in particular. If you think your character might get involved, go ahead and post under that heading! If you want to start some non-handwaved IC discussion between characters, you're welcome to do that on Mimir's post when it goes up at the end of the event to invite interested Travelers to Vanaheim. Otherwise, if you'd like to start some OOC discussion with fellow players or me about what there might even be to look into, go ahead and do it here!

He can ask around, but everyone will have varying ideas about what that means! Some people think planting a tree counts, some people might say to meditate for seven years, others might say the only way to give life is to take life. It's a vague concept that can be interpreted a dozen different ways!

What if he narrowed it down a little to specifically magic that seems to create something from nothing, like runic magic making bread or Freyr's Travellers pulling things out of paper - is it different from other forms of magic somehow, can it be done on bigger scales / affect the Tree that way? That would seem relevant to the idea of bringing new life the way he sees it :|a largely because dude they can't spend seven years planting trees, Souji would just get the wrong idea and cover the entirety of Asgard with catnip plants :'<
