GAME OF THRONE [mod event]
[When Dipper comes on screen he's in the supernatural research room that's attached to the Labs, where various Legionnaires have holed up over time to study the Book of Magic. Ray and Valeria are in there with him, working on the book behind them.]
This is so exciting! Ohmygosh.
Okay, so for anyone that's new, a while ago we had to get the spear of Destiny - like that spear of Destiny, that poked Yahweh-know-who? - to re-imprison the Spectre. Because we were the ones that let him out in the first place to stop this giant planet-eating guy with a stupid hat called Galactus.
Anyway, that's all taken care of, the Spectre's back in his box, but when we went to find the spear we met this guy guarding it that called himself The Wizard - like the Wizard, like he was the most important one or something? - and alongside telling us where the spear was, he gave us this magic book. He promised that if we could unlock its knowledge we might be able to find something to use against Chronoblivion.
We did a lot of research and found out it was legit but it's all wrapped up in codes and spells and riddles. We managed to unlock it enough that Ray was able to use its power to banish Eclipso to the room with a moose dimension, a dimension that's just...a room with a moose. (I don't get it, either). In that fight on Apokolips.
[Dipper rolls his hands around each other to show he's trying to fast forward.]
Anyway, a bunch of us have been working on it for a while and it turns out Gohan decoded some important encryptions before he got zapped home and he never got to tell the rest of us! I was going through his old notes to see if we missed anything and we were able to use it to figure out how to unlock the last spells guarding it. We're unlocking the last of it right now!
Brainiac got help from Sorcerer's World to use those magic artifacts we got from that marriage planet and combined it with technology to shield the research room, so nobody has to worry about any eff --
[Something crackles behind him, where Valeria and Ray are working. Some of Ray's equipment starts making alarming ticking noises. Ray says, "Definitely a sharp uptick in PKE valences...we may want to duck."]
[Dipper turns, yelps, and ducks just in time to avoid magical energy that zaps through the room like lightning. A more subtle wave of magical energy sweeps past after the initial zaps, spreading out all through Legion World. Val, Ray, and Dipper are just fine but frogs start appearing and raining from the ceiling in their research room, and the book floats off the table, completely wrapped up in ethereal glowing golden chains. Other Legionnaires throughout Legion World might also find strange magical effects spreading out all over.]
Uhhh.
Whuh oh.

I'm going to go find your lab candy stash and eat it all.

Bring it, Captain Mystery.

Hey Merl, want to help me annoy your arch-nemesis?
[From elsewhere in the lab, a tiny voice peeps up, "Yes. She must be destroyed."]
Why don't we just aim for "demoralized," sport?
no subject
It's okay if you want to play with Dipper, Merl. I'll pick up your slack on the research.

[An indignant screech echoes through the lab.]

[Val shakes her head. Really now.
Still, she has to be careful not to overplay her hand, and she lets her genuine annoyance show. No one is gonna believe she's the more-in-sorrow-than-anger type.]
Look, Dipper, it's a simple calculation. Merl and I are intellectual peers. Messing with each other is as near to zero-sum as a game gets in the real world. Effort he devotes to annoying me is effort lost to our long-term goals. I've seen how that plays out with my Dad and Uncle Doom. I'm willing to sacrifice a few candy bars to keep some stupid ego-driven feedback loop from establishing itself and distracting us from what's really important.
[She's well aware this exchange is public and is playing to the adult crowd. It helps that she believes what she's saying enough to convince herself as she lays out the argument. Eyes on the goal, not on stupid boys.]

We're also younger team members that get enforced off duty time so that we can't devote ourselves to the war effort 24/7.
Plenty of time for some occasional candy stealing.
