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.

[ It's not like the team is flush with Australians the way it's overflowing with New Yorkers. The chocolate is another giveaway, of course. ]
Uh, ignoring the fact that you didn't owe me any chocolate at all - but thanks for making butter cream eggs the new brunch - I kind of haven't been counting.
[ Robbie tries to sound sheepish, but the new voice sounds nervously high and frail all the time. He folds his arms over his, er, chest and tries to ]
It's Robbie, if that's what you're after.
Re: [Video]
'Uncomfortably transformed' is not how I wanted to spend my day. How's yours going?
[He waves his hand at the 'owing' comment.] You know what I mean. [Or maybe Robbie doesn't, maybe he still hasn't made this gesture clear.] It doesn't make up for not being there in your world, but it's something now.
Anyway, I'll get today's to ya eventually. Just have to stop falling over every time I stand up.
[This altered center of gravity is going to - possibly literally - be the death of him.]
Re: [Video]
[ He actually looks more uncomfortable at the chocolate explanation than about the clothes, which was already pretty uncomfortable. ]
I wasn’t ignored on Easter as a kid. My father took me to the big Easter egg hunt at City Hall. There just wasn’t a you.
[ He carefully omits that his father would’ve gone anyway as the district attorney and the increasingly tense holiday dinners as he got older. ]
You should take the day off, if your balance is that messed up. It's not worth getting hurt.

[He does have a lot of downtime between equinoxes, but that's the truth. It's not like he spends those days off doing anything that doesn't somehow relate to his work. Even on his world, it seems there's always a child somewhere in need of protection . . . and now he's opened up to the concept of a multiverse full of planets like Robbie's, without the influence of Guardians, and more problems than his world has ever presented for kids.
He'll never mention that he watched Robbie and Vance's Legionnaire Legacy, but there's a reason he has no intention of stopping with the Sunday gifts for both of them once 18 weeks have passed. He can't think of anything else to do, and certainly nothing to say, to make up for not knowing they existed while they were children in need of the protection he and the other Guardians had sworn to provide.
Anyway, Robbie has enough of a variety of reasons to be uncomfortable, without him adding onto any of them with more of his own regrets.]
Need me to bring anything else when I stop by? I can leave it by your door, same as the chocolate.
