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.

[Private] [Encrypted]
[Either Australian English's legendary vulgarities have been lost to time, or York just believes he somehow missed out on them in hundreds of years of living.]
Might be bad enough for North's naughty list, but you seem a little old for Christmas miracles anyway. And I'm not a personification of anything.
[Plainly saying 'I was mortal once' would open up almost as many sad tales as would pointing out that one doesn't investigate crimes against children and retain any semblance of innocence - that's definitely not a topic for lighthearted, complimentary banter, and lighthearted complimentary banter is proving itself a nice way to occupy time under awkward circumstances.
Still - York's touched on his private thoughts that the kids from his Earth being lucky comes with the consequential thought that kids from the Earths where he's not are . . . less lucky. If he dwelt to long on that thought without hope of his own, it would break his heart.]
Your kids'll be lucky, too.
When we're done here - I'm not gonna forget your worlds're out there. We swore an oath to watch over the children of Earth, but I'm thinking the oath could use an update.
[It's not a light promise, the way he doesn't rattle it off quickly. The words come slow, carefully picked, because he'd like to apologize for not having been there for York's childhood, too. But what are the right words for that? For a myth to say to a mortal, 'I'm sorry I wasn't there for you - I didn't know you existed?']
Anyway. [Now there's a good word for getting to less sad subjects.] I'm glad you've got those memories. I'm glad you get to have it every now and again. Everyone who looks into your eyes gets a bit of that peace. It wouldn't be fair if you hadn't gotten to have some yourself.
[He lets the words have their moment to sink in, genuine with care, before breaking into a triumphant grin.]
There, how's that for a compliment, complimentary enough for ya?
