GAME OF THRONE [mod event]

[captainbuzzkill]

[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.

What, have you never seen a hamburger before?

[ He's teasing, mostly, because obviously everyone knows what a hamburger is. ]

I mean, I don't recognize the place, but they taste just as good as any other fast food burger. [ He tosses a wrapper aside, grabbing another one. ] And they don't have the word 'nasty' on the wrapper, so. You know. That's a plus.

[hallaifyouherd]

Are they made of ham?

[ This is her dubious tone of voice, Danny. Just so you know. ]

[ordinarily]

No, they're...

[ He stops mid-bite. Wait a second. Why are they called hamburgers if they're made of beef? ]

... Oh, wow, I never thought of that.

[hallaifyouherd]

Never thought of what?

[ordinarily]

They're made of beef.

But they're called hamburgers.

... Why?

[hallaifyouherd]

A human named it, didn't they?

[ordinarily]

Well, yeah.

[hallaifyouherd]

Well there you are.

They also named a plant elfroot, and I can guarantee you there isn't a single elf in it.

[ordinarily]

[ Shit, no, that's funny. He might've actually snickered at that. ]

But is there fruit?

[hallaifyouherd]

Gooseberries.

[ Pause. ]

Oh. Elfroot. Hm. No, they're a sort of sprout, really.

I thought you were asking if humans had silly names for fruits, that also don't have what they're named after in them.

[ordinarily]

[ And now he's picturing berries made out of geese heads and he might've burst out laughing. Give him a bit. ]

N-No, I'm just... making stupid jokes, really.

[hallaifyouherd]

No sillier than mine.

I mean, I'm serious about humans naming things, but other than that.

[ordinarily]

Oh, don't worry, people are dumb, I get it.

[hallaifyouherd]

I suppose that's also true.

I don't mean to offend. Most humans I know are decent enough, despite the stories.

[ordinarily]

Eh, I'm not offended.

I go to school with plenty of jerks.

[hallaifyouherd]

Well, then I'm pleased they're not the ones here.

It would be a shame if they all caught fire. Mysteriously.

[ordinarily]

[ You, he likes. ]

Oh, um, I don't think I've met you, actually.

I'm Danny.

[hallaifyouherd]

Marjara, of Clan Lavellan.

Aneth ara, Danny.

[ordinarily]

... I'm guessing that's like... a 'hi' or something?

[ Actually, now that he thinks about it. ]

Oh, since you're not big on humans, I'm guessing you're... not human. Right?

[hallaifyouherd]

It is something like that, yes.

And no. Not even a little.

[ordinarily]

What are you then?

[hallaifyouherd]

I'm an elf.

[ordinarily]

Oh.

[ Give him a second. ]

... Oh!

[rushing_by]

It's named after the city of Hamburg, Germany. It's where the precursor to the modern hamburger came from.

[ordinarily]

Oh.

[ Well, that answers that. ]

I guess that makes sense.
