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.

Oh man, this must be heaven for you, huh?

[ York's shirt, York's scars, and Emu on her head- but it is very much a woman that peers around at all the purring bliss. ]

Fuck it, Holing up here till things are normal seems like a good idea.

[Honestly, he'd probably be a lot more surprised about this if he hadn't seen Robbie first. Yeah, he'd definitely lucked out this time around.]

[So he just shrugs, and shares the wealth.]


Might as well, if you think Emu won't get jealous.

[There are already half a dozen cats weaving their way around York's ankles and purring loudly.]

Emu knows she's the one I go home with- [ Finding a way to sit gracefully while surrounded by kittens is a bit of a bitch, but worthwhile. She settles and lets the swarm roll on up into her lap, Emu curled on her shoulder, quiet and content. ]

How's DC taking the competition?
unrecovered: (Face: You're a kitty)

[The Trying Really Hard Not To Sit On Enthusiastic Cats dance is always amusing from the outside, and Wash doesn't bother trying to hide a smile.]

He doesn't know, but he also tends not to care.

It's a good look for you. Being covered in cats.

[ Smiling, relaxed. Happy. They get that more and more often in this place; even when shit is weird. ]

How's the rest of the group holding up? I haven't seen Grif around. Tucker's already made the usual pass.
unrecovered: (Face: You've got to be kidding me)

Only when they're someone else's cats. There's no way I could take care of this many on a regular basis.

[He says, with one cat draped across his shoulders, three more jockeying for position on his lap, and half a dozen watching and waiting for an opportunity to squeeze in.]

I haven't seen Grif either - he's probably either causing trouble or laying low somewhere. Tucker [And that's the bright, sharp, dangerous tone of voice that makes it very clear someone is in trouble] went way over the line with his "usual pass" at Robbie, so we're going to talk.

Aw, man. Not cool.

[ One kitten gets up onto her opposite shoulder enough to bap at Emu. Emu sleepily chirrups and climbs on top of York's head. Problem solved-

Temporarily. ]


...Anyone ever tell you that you sound a little like Carolina when you go all angry drill sergeant. Just a smidge. In so much that there's a threat of verbal or physical violence to follow.

No kidding.

[That takes him by surprise, and he pauses for a moment. Huh. He knew Freelancer had molded him in more ways than one, but that wasn't one of the possibilities he'd considered.]

Not really. Most of the people I hang around now didn't know her way back when.

[They all know Carolina as she is now, changed from the Project's fall. They know her as a badass, and something of a loner, but when they're looking for leadership, they don't turn to her by default - they turn to him. It's still a little staggering some days.]
