[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7159789, member: 6777052"] [color="blue"]Thor quickly slipped on a set of blue overalls, slung his #1 Universal Repair Kit over his shoulder and reported to Who's Done. "Maintenance," he grunted authentically. "We have a total system malfeasance," declared the Archmage. "It's urgent. Fix it." "Have you tried hitting it with a hammer?" "Wut?!" "Works for me." The archmage turned away, thinking [i]who is this idiot?[/i] and started to operate a scrying globe. As he chanted out co-ordinates, it lit up and showed a beaked face staring unconcernedly out at him. He did a double take. "Okay men," he called out, "I've found the problem. We've got a turtle blocking the #3 bypass." "It must be a very big turtle," commented a middle-ranking wizard quietly. "Those by-pass tunnels are five miles across." Ignoring this technicality because it didn't fit with what he had made up his mind was happening, the Archmage ordered [i]Chimes of Opening[/i] to be brought up from the store-rooms. On a chant of "Doh, a deer, .." the chimes were struck in unison and gigantic bronze doors decorated with sea serpents began to swing open ponderously to release the trapped turtle. It swam away slowly into the ether, carrying five giant elephants on its back. With the magic thrumming through the tower again, the Archmage started shouting orders. It was time to push Atlantis back into the Prime Material plane. Thor slipped away. As it turned out, he left not a moment too soon ...[/color] [/QUOTE]
