What's water like in your hels? Is there any there? Is it there in limited quantities? Does it rain at all? Is there only water in specific places? Was it brought from the overworld? I'm curious

There is water in hels! Just barely! It was one of Evil X's gifts to the server, getting it there. I imagine the city has a cistern he artificially filled, which is where the water from the fountains in the city and the tap water comes from. Hels is very much like the nether though! So to raise the boiling/evaporation point of the water so it stays liquid where it's supposed to be, the water is acidic. It's not eat-your-skin acidic, but its corrosive enough that using it to, say, polish armor, will lead to breakdown over time. Metals and stones they anticipate coming into a lot of contact with water [fountains, pipes] probably need regular maintenance and water proofing.

It doesn't rain in hels, all water there was brought there artificially, but I do imagine they have some weather phenomena. The peripheral of the city has a small geyser problem [any time water leaks from the cistern and comes in contact with the hotter stone around the city, you get a geyser.] There is still a cycle of hotter/cooler air, so they do get wind, and that wind will bring dust clouds and gas clouds from surrounding lava lakes and things. They get a lot of fog and fog-adjacent weather patterns, and a haze of clouds is often passing through. I also imagine they get "snows" of ash from eruptions around basalt deltas, and there are probably times of year where the different shroom plants release their spores, causing colored snows of red and blue. [We have cottonwood plants around here in the summer that coat the roads in a false snow, especially around the river where I live. I imagine whenever the warped / crimson fungus lets out spores, it would look a bit like that].

This is both a love letter and a retelling of @fakecrfan 's Constructor/Architect story, but set in my own superhero universe. She has a specific identity in this, as unfortunately, you can't really have the reader *be* the main character in a visual format, but I hope that's okay with you :)

-----------------------------------

My name is Na Su-Yung. Two years ago, I thought I was a normal person. Another mortal. Another drop in the ocean, looking up to the clouds. To the gods living amongst us. Until I found out that I'm nothing like the ocean around me. I was different. I was an Anomaly.

I was just a college kid in Cosmopolis, another normal human who was awestruck every time I saw The Guardsman zoom across the city, or see a news report of Nitrous' crime-fighting shenanigans in Sunset City, all the way on the other side of the U.S. Another fragile human being, merely made of flesh and bone and nothing else, that cheered each time The Vanguard came together to save the world.

When an attack on Cosmopolis by the villain Sergeant Steel destroyed the foundations of my apartment and others in my neighborhood, I thought I was gonna lose everything. That I was gonna die. I just accepted my fate as the floor began crumbling beneath me. To my surprise, however, it seemed that the entire building was frozen in time. I stopped it from falling. I gave other residents enough time to escape to a safer area. I was a hero, even if no one, not even I, knew what I had done.

I spent time exploring my abilities in my free time between lectures. I don't know why, but it took me months, nearly a year, to be able to control the same amount as I did when I first gained my powers. So I started small. I floated pebbles between my hands, then on a single hand, then I was able to attract them to my hands from a few meters away. For the first time in my 21 years of life, I didn't feel weak, or pathetic, or forgotten. For the first time, I felt like I could be more than myself. And so I did.

I'd go to places in Cosmopolis where Guardsman had recently done battle against one of his rogues. I'd studied architectural engineering thoroughly before going on my first outing, so I was able to reconstruct a lot of the buildings in a few weeks. Just the broad strokes, though. I couldn't get the electrical or water systems down, so I just left a lot of the buildings with hollow walls to let the actual electricians and plumbers do their work.

Still, no one gave a shit about me. I was just some rando in a washed-out CSU hoodie and sweatpants.

I eventually realized that I would probably be able to work better if I had the blueprints for the buildings. Just walking up to wherever they keep them and asking for them probably wouldn't work well, so I planned. Well, "planned" is glorifying it. I did the first thing that popped in my head: make a costume to get attention. And so I did.

I was never the artsy type, so I just bought a wetsuit and mask online. But it worked. After the metas had their fill of fighting, I'd arrive on the scene and start working. The bigger news reporters would keep their focus on Guardsman or Harddrive or whoever did the day-saving, but the smaller news organizations turned their focus to me. Knowledge of my presence was slowly increased, especially online. People on Reddit and Tumblr took to calling me either The Constructor or The Architect. I took up the latter.

One day, when even the larger news networks in Cosmopolis had turned their attention onto me, someone came up to me. She told me her name was Sandy and that she had a proposition. She'd be my manager, managing any relations or exchanges I don't have the time to deal with, and helping me with marketability. I took her up on her offer. She made me a new suit, talked to the city to get blueprints, and whatever else. It's been a while, I've forgotten a lot of what we did.

Hero teams contracted me to restore their headquarters, standalone heroes and vigilantes needed help with rebuilding their bases, cities wanted cheap labor. I did it all. I finally felt like I was contributing to society. That I mattered. I was finally told that I mattered. Until the day I chose to do what I knew was right.

Cosmopolis, despite what outsiders think it is, is just like any other city. One side of the city is covered in skyscrapers, the other in slums. Struggling people who can't escape their situations, whether that be out of discrimination, mental disabilities, mental illnesses, addiction, criminal affiliation, they all live with constant strife.

The worst part of it all, however, is that I'm just like everyone else. Every time I passed one on the street or from inside a cab, I looked away. Seeing them suffer under the city's hand tore out my soul. It didn't matter that my reasoning was different from those who averted their eyes out of spite or disgust, I still looked the other direction. I refused to be like them. To kick them while they're already down. So I started building them up, literally.

I'd scour throughout the city, look through sites listing run-down neighborhoods or buildings, and I'd go there. I'd tear them down and build them back up. I gave people places to stay, where they wouldn't go cold or without a bed for the night. I gave them the kindness that might help them stop simply surviving, and finally begin living.

Then the comments came. Middle and upper class began shouting their complaints online and in my face, whether personally or through a reporter. They hated seeing people, who they deemed "undesirable," getting any help. Giving some cash was already too much for them to handle, so I can see why they saw this in such a bad light. Why their hateful eyes had seen this as a sin.

I went to interviews and I kept trying to get my viewpoint out there. No one listened. No one cared. All they saw was filth getting help by more filth.

So I made shelters around the city in places no one would notice. Rooves out of land in the parks, more empathetic architecture. I removed the spikes underneath bridges that prevent people from getting shelter from the rain and made the benches softer for those who had no beds. But still, no one gave a shit. The city made laws against how much anyone could alter it. I gave up on that.

I was sent death threats. I was told that I was helping the scum grow. That I was making Cosmopolis shine less. It didn't help that Guardsman was comatose from a battle for nearly 6 months at that point. It meant I had no one, not even the hero of heroes, the embodiment of infinite kindness to everyone, to back me up. I was alone. I stopped everything. I pushed away everyone. I fired Sandy, apologizing every second of it. I basically disappeared from the face of the Earth.

Then I heard that they were building a stadium on the Southeast Side. Displacing hundreds of people. Their hope being snuffed out by the fat cats on the top of the totem pole. I wouldn't stand by it. I came as fast as I could and I tore it all down. Every beam and panel and every square inch was just rubble when I was finished.

M.I.R.A. was contacted after the cops weren't able to get me to stand down. They trapped me in an Akonite cell in Pandora's Box. The media labeled me as "a false hero," "a fallen angel," "a wolf in sheep's clothing," "a villain." I just wanted to make things better. With The Vanguard keeping their eyes on the larger threats, and each individual member focusing on the broad strokes that are their respective cities, there were barely any who were looking out for the little guy. That's all I wanted to be. The one to look out for the everyman, the people on the streets. My people. I wanted to take care of my neighbors, friends, and loved ones. But I guess all people care about are themselves.

I eventually found that Akonite didn't work on my powers. How or why, I don't know. Maybe it was because it was just another mineral. Maybe it just didn't have an effect on me. Either way, I knew that this wouldn't stop me. I'm The Architect. I'm a hero. I won't let corruption, greed, and cruelty hinder that. I'll dissent from the indifference. From the apathy. From the fear of helping my city.

Story time: wet chaos

Internet, do you remember this?

Internet, I have updates. They are not good. They are in fact Bad. There is a little bathroom on the basement level of my house and, as of this morning, it is flooding. I have a trashfire back from my spinal surgery a few years ago, so, it's my mom who's had to stay home and deal with this, while I wrangle the dog. My house is already made of drinking straws and cardboard (a story for another time), so we have a water vacuum. She has emptied it out into the driveway ten times so far.

I take our dog outside to do his thing, and I see bits of toilet paper washing around in the rain.

This means that the rain is not what flooded the basement.

"I KNOW it's not the rain because it's coming UP FROM THE SHOWER," says my mom. Oh, where Pennywise lives. Yeah, that checks out.

Now, because our house is a calamity magnet, we also have a plumbing contract. We have a problem, they come out and fix it. Well, whenever they can. After three hours, they're on their way (earlier than they thought they could get here, even). And, on the phone, the Contractual Plumber says, "Yeah, that sounds like [Redacted Internet Provider We Don't Even Use] messed up your sewer line AND your water line." See this picture I posted last week of a pipe in the yard mysteriously spewing into the street as to why this is a STRONG GUESS.

--Update, I have just been told how much we have to pay out of pocket to start and it is Not Good.

Now, the entire neighborhood is PISSED AF about this, and one of our neighbors started passing out the business card of a City Public Works representative. My mom talked to this rep in person, and he promised that The City would reimburse The Neighborhood for damages, destroyed plants, exorbitant water bills, etc. So we're about to put this guy to the test, let's put it that way, or he's going on Sasha the Christmas Tiger's list (I don't make the rules).

Would you be able to elaborate on the ideas you have for Mario and Luigi when they lived in Brooklyn?

Of course!

Mario and Luigi, they were loners back on Earth. Not because they wanted to be, but because experience taught them that avoiding people was generally the best and safest option. They kept to themselves as much as they could and only seeked interaction while looking for work and trying to get by.

Throughout the beginning of their adulthood, the only person who showed them proper kindness and tried to maintain a friendship with them was Pauline; everyone else ether dismissed or outright judged and mocked them. There was theft. There were fights and there were distasteful pranks. Threats and sleepless nights. The bros had to live in a shady part of the city in order to be able to afford rent. It was rough, but they did what they could with what they had.

I have this headcanon that, on the day the bros stumbled upon the magical portal that would take them to the Mushroom Kingdom and change their lives forever, they weren't even supposed to be there. The massive pipe was located somewhere below the street, and plumbers don't technically do sewer jobs. It's too dangerous and too much of a health hazard. But they accepted the contract anyway because they were really short on cash and couldn't refuse.

And the night right before that? I like to imagine that Mario had a serious talk with Luigi. One where he told him that he was done with plumbing and wanted to pursue a better career for them both.

Luigi asked him what he intended to become instead. And Mario, with all the seriousness in the world, responded that he wanted to be a Doctor. 🩺

Request References: Don't hesitate to request references from past clients to validate the plumber's reputation and performance. Contact these references to inquire about their experience working with the plumber and whether they would recommend their services.

Obtain Multiple Quotes: Collect quotes from multiple plumbers, comparing their pricing, services offered, and terms of engagement. While cost is important, prioritize value and quality over the lowest price to ensure you receive reliable service and satisfactory results.

Review Contracts Carefully: Before proceeding with any plumbing work, review the contract or written agreement carefully. Ensure that it accurately reflects the scope of work, pricing, payment schedule, timelines, and any warranties or guarantees provided.

Monitor Progress and Communication: Stay engaged throughout the project by maintaining open communication with your chosen plumber. Regularly check on the progress of the work and address any concerns or issues promptly to avoid misunderstandings or delays.

i cannot believe this but after everything, there is a plumbing update. the city has contracted another new random plumber to come cut out the roots under the road and put a liner in the pipe because they don't want to dig up the street. after two weeks of not calling us back this is... a solution, i guess. our plumber also told us it would take three days for an inspector to come out and then they could fill in the pit in our yard but uhhhh it's been over a week. we had intended to call him and ask what was up but then everything with callie happened so that will just wait until monday. neutral turn of events, neutral update. mediocre solution from the city.

I know its misplaced but all these people who rag on landlords and property managers do not realize all the stuff that goes into owning a building/home

You have to inspect shit yearly/monthly/weekly and that is not free.

You have to maintain and be in compliance with city codes and make sure to maintain things like gutters/roofs/chimneys and the tenants that don't care of their homes that make it harder to live for the other tenants.

They have to make sure that the home is clean and sanitary and are ready to give you pest control services for FREE to you as a resident because there exists a contract with the building in case pests happen. They have to have so many things ready and on hand just IN CASE it happens.

Most of the reason people rent is so they do not have to worry about calling a plumber at 3am or have to take the hit to their pockets for a roof that they never inspected, they just have to call their landlord and the landlord pays and gets it under control.

What Does A Home Improvement Contractor Can Do!

Home improvement contractors are a massive category that typically includes all home service contractors. It includes general contractors, subcontractors, building contractors, product replacement contractors, home service contractors and remodel contractors.

It is an aggregate term that encompasses all home contracting disciplines except for the DIY sector. Contractors are often required to be licensed in different states and cities. In Houston, only a small number of house contractors are required to be licensed.

The major home improvement contractors that are required to be licensed in the Houston area are plumbers, heating and air conditioning, and electricians. There are other minor contractors such as home security contractors that require licensing in Houston, but for the most part, the state of Texas and the city of Houston do not require trade skill licensing but do require building permits. As a rule of thumb, the City of Houston does not require permits for decorating items and certain home replacement products. House improvements that do not require permits typically include such products and services as painting, flooring, and certain appliances. Product replacements such as air conditioners, hot water heaters, and replacing kitchen cabinets do require permits. Permits and inspections play a significant role in providing assurance that products are installed properly and increase the homeowner’s safety. Read more…

Tips For Hiring A Plumbing Service Company

Open the phone book of any town or city and chances are you will see quite a few listings for plumbers and plumbing service companies. Simply choosing a name out of the book or off of the Internet is not the best choice. After all, this is someone who will be in your home plumbing services burlington nc and performing work that can be difficult and expensive. By following a few simple tips, you can be sure that you will hire the best plumber in your area.

Ask friends for recommendations. A simple way to get started in your research is to ask friends and family for recommendations. Most people will be quick to tell you if they were pleased or not with the service they received. Narrowing down the selection to those plumbers that your friends like will make the process a little bit easier.

Look for reviews online. There are quite a few sites online where consumers can read reviews from previous customers who describe their experiences with various plumbing companies. Look for any criticisms that seem to come up again and again. Check the Better Business Bureau and other local consumer protection agencies for business ratings.

Check out the basics. Find out how long the plumber has been in business. Typically, a plumber that has been a part of the community for some years tends to be more stable and reliable. Be sure that the number you call is to a local address and not some national company that may send out questionable individuals. The plumber's uniform, service truck, and tools should be in good condition and enhance his professionalism.

Make sure the plumber is licensed. You can search your state's licensing boards online to ensure that the plumber you choose is properly licensed. This is simply proof that the plumber you are working with has been properly trained and is officially recognized as a plumbing professional. A legitimate plumber should be happy to provide you with a license number if asked.

Get prices upfront. Plumbing repairs and replacements can get expensive. Make sure you have a written estimate in hand before any work begins. Be aware of the hourly rates and service fees that may be charged. Keep in mind that after hour and weekend rates may be higher than what is typically charged during regular business hours. Do not be afraid to get more than one price quote for large or expensive projects. Remember that cheaper does not necessarily mean better.

Inquire about warranties on parts and labor. Plumbers that offer warranties are more likely to stand behind their work and strive for customer satisfaction

Ask about emergency services. If you need a plumber in a hurry, it is nice to know you will have one when you call. Not all companies offer 24-hour emergency services. Be sure that you have the phone number of an emergency plumber if you should need it one day.

Ask about service contracts. Many plumbers offer service contracts that can save you money in routine maintenance and repairs. An added benefit is that when there is a problem, customers with service contracts tend to have highest priority.

Find out what other services they may provide. Some plumbing companies offer heating and cooling services in addition to plumbing services. Bundling maintenance and repair service calls may save the consumer substantial money and time.

As new homes continue to go up in Moncton, contractor Andrew Nelson gets lots of calls about taking on new projects. But with not enough workers, he routinely turns them down. The standard answer now is 'What's your timeline?'"

If they say they want to get started within the next year or two, "it's not likely going to happen," Nelson said. New Brunswick construction companies are facing a major labor shortage that's also being felt across Canada. The province's industry association estimates it currently needs more than 2,000 workers right now and will have to fill an estimated 5,000 jobs over the next five years.

The lack of workers comes at a time when Moncton is experiencing a building boom. The city set a record for development last year, issuing $366 million in permits, and more than 1,200 new residential units were added in response to the fastest population growth in the country. But as cranes keep rising on the skyline, construction companies just can't keep up. The shortage of skilled workers, tradespeople, and general laborers is leading to costly delays, unpredictable timelines, and slow starts to projects.

Nadine Fullarton, president of the Moncton Northeast Construction Association, said demand has been at an all-time high, which is putting even more pressure on the labor force. There's just not enough people in New Brunswick to fill those job vacancies," she said.

In New Brunswick, nearly a third of construction workers are 55 or older and expected to retire within the next five years. The generation gap is contributing to the shortage, along with fewer young people entering the industry.

Construction companies are struggling to fill jobs locally despite turning to recruitment firms for help. One executive said he can count on one hand the number of people from New Brunswick who've applied over the past year. The owner of Homestead Bay Contracting, which builds residential properties, currently has 10 employees but has enough work for more than 30.

"It's been a struggle, and it's hard to be so upset about how long it's going to take; I can't tell you that because labor's such a scary thing, it's the same "for my electricians and plumbers," he said, adding that the company has shifted its focus to finding workers in South America, Africa, and Europe, even if that approach comes with the complications of navigating a slow immigration system. It can take more than a year to bring a construction worker to Canada, and with unexpected delays, estimating a project timeline for a customer can be nearly impossible.

Maksym Bilam, a construction worker originally from Ukraine, is one of several international employees Nelson has hired. He worked in the field in his home country, but he said it was challenging to land a job in Canada when he applied for positions nearly seven years ago.

Bilam said he enjoys working in New Brunswick and seeing a project go from start to finish. "At the end of the day, you will see that you spent your time in the right way," he said. The industry would like to see the federal government make it easier to bring in employees as temporary foreign workers and through other programs.

"We're really ramping up our efforts to advocate for immigration reform that will allow our members and contractors to bring in the talent that they need," she said. The industry association is also working with the province to encourage more young people in New Brunswick to enter trades and construction. It would be nice to see more shop classes and related curriculum return to high schools.

"We really need to work together with the government to put it back to a place where we're able to recruit right from high school and bring these people into our industry, so we can continue to build the services that Canadian citizens have come to rely on," Fullarton said.

The drastic drop in oil prices has one analyst suggesting that the commodity is being traded as if the global economy is already in recession. Oil prices fell 10 percent in the past two-and-a-half days to approximately US$68 per barrel, following the market selloff that came from investors fearing a global banking crisis. That pressure pushed the oil market to reflect recessionary pricing, Michael Tran, managing director of global energy strategy at RBC Capital Markets, said in an interview on Thursday. 

"This is an oil market that is effectively trading as if the economy is already in a full-blown recession," he stated. Tran noted that the factors pulling down the price of crude have little to do with the energy sector, and for this reason, the commodity is likely to rebound. 

"Everybody knows why oil prices are coming down." It’s not an oil market-specific issue; it’s a broad macro issue," he explained, calling for oil prices to climb in the second half of this year amid China's economic reopening and heightened demand coming from India. He anticipates that once the panic settles within the markets for the next few days or weeks, oil prices will climb. 

“Fear is fear, and we’re seeing a lot of investors really just pull back and just kind of take a breath right now,” he said.
