[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.

Since we've all been getting to know each other lately, I thought I would pose a question of my own. Have you put any thought into what you'll do once you leave here?

I haven't been here very long, myself, but already, this world is quite different from my own. As far as we know, things like "superheroes" are nonexistent where I'm from. Maybe someday, it will be possible to give people the kinds of abilities that many of us here have now, but even then, I can't imagine the organization I work for taking very well to it. Even if my current responsibilities would allow for it, it would be quite difficult to manage both, to say the least.

I suppose questioning whether or not I'd continue life as a superhero is a bit too whimsical, all things considered. Perhaps a better question would be this: Do you think your experiences here have changed you? How do you think it would impact your future?

The truth is, while I'm very intrigued by this opportunity, I'm not sure what to make of it as a whole. I'm more than happy to do good for the sake of good, yet at the moment, it still feels very much like a detour in life. [Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing, to be able to take a break from one's own reality. But as someone who rarely did things without purpose, it was a foreign concept.] Ultimately, I'm curious about how you think you'll look back on your time here.

I appreciate you taking the time to indulge a rookie's thoughts.

[There's no getting around it. It's an essay. About the dangers of sugar abuse on your health, linked to several medical articles. In it, she links the abuse of sugar to depression, diabetes, dopamine imbalances, fueling cancer cells and making tumors more aggressive, impotence, increased risk of heart attacks and heart disease, increased inflammation leading to joint pain and arthritis, increased risk of strokes, kidney failure, and rotting teeth.

Included in her essay is a list of signs of sugar abuse, including false teeth, rotten teeth, pupil dilation, jitteriness, mid-afternoon 'crashes', and other symptoms.

She wraps up with a plea for people to seek help and rehabilitation for their addictions and avoid anyone who might try to push such addictive substances on them.]

[ Tadashi is reclining in a bed in medical, wearing the beatific smile of the enlightened and the well and truly stoned. ]

I love biology. Well, no, I'm enthusiastic about biology, I don't love it. I love programming and engineering and my family and helping people. Not in that order. Maybe in that order in regards to science. Except programming and engineering are the tools I use to help people, but I do love them too.

[ He stares off into space for a moment, then shakes himself and focuses back on the camera again. ]

[What has no thumbs and is sick to death of gods and sorcerers and magic spears and all the similar crap that keeps popping up? This AI.

Well, actually, her hologram has thumbs, but they're currently not visible behind the equally holographic folded arms.]

Poll: how many of you are from universes where the supernatural is real? Magic, gods, shoe-making elves that aren't just a parable about virtue, whatever.

[Why Grimm's Fairy Tales? Why not Grimm's Fairy Tales? It's all equally nonsense as far as thorough-going materialist Cortana is concerned.]

Hey there. For those of you who don't know me already, I'm Dr. Ray Stantz, and I'm a paranormal investigator.

So, I've noticed lately that we've gotten a few skeptics in board lately, and it made me wonder about something. How many of us have encountered the supernatural before the Legion? You know, psychics, ghosts, demons, magic, goblins, gremlins, Nessie, vampires, that sort of thing? If you have any stories about the paranormal, I'd love to hear them. If you'd rather not go into details, that's fine too. Just a little curious, is all.

[Dipper's recording this from the wall comm unit in his room and he's not alone. Dave, Casey, and Ken are with him. Despite the wild party the night before, the reason for his sober expression isn't sobriety after a night of drinking, it's what's in his room.]

So, there's a door to what looks like another dimension that just showed up in my room? Can we maybe do something about that?

Preferably a something that doesn't involve going inside. Seriously, I am so done with pocket dimensions. I am not winding up in a situation where I unhinge my jaw and chase people again. Unhinging your jaw hurts.

[ooc: This is set the day after the party and shortly before "To Have and To Hold" and "Gods Among Us." Any adults or teens not signed up for the plot won't be able to see the door, or even really understand what Dave, Casey, Ken, and Dipper are talking about. The Other Mother's magic will make them think they're having an entirely different conversation or make them quickly forget the reason for concern.]

Patterns are emerging in the intelligence Kid Quantum handed out. It's time we narrowed down our search so we can plan our next mission accordingly.

[cw: Dipper's canon is supernatural/horror, so this LL contains everything from zombies (including eye gore), to petrified thrones of human agony, to implications of suicide, to tooth gore, to blood...waterfalls. If you have a specific horror squick you want to try to avoid, but want to read, PM me (Korel) and I'll let you know if it's in here.]

[The Legion World staff maintains a feed of all Legion-related media so Legionnaires can be kept abreast of any reporting that's done on them. Two women appear on the screen, sitting at a desk, their appearances altered by glam filters so that one is all pink hair and skin and sparkles, and the other is all in blues. They look pretty flashy and tacky but this is the future. Reporters don't exist anymore; they're "personalities" now.]

Shellee: Welcome to another installment of Legion Watch: Legionnaire Legacies. In this episode, we're focusing on one of the youngest Legionnaires, a teenager who has inspired controversy with his actions in Murderworld, and has caused many to be intrigued about his possible origins. Tonight, we'll focus on a Legionnaire whose motivations are as mysterious as his callsign: Dipper Pines, aka Captain Mystery!

[Ok, Seras can't help but cover a yawn as the feed starts. What'd you expect from a vampire that just woke up for the night.]

Oh, excuse me. Hello. I'm Seras Victoria. I guess you could also call me Draculina. It's better than Police Girl.

[She gives the camera a smile and wave. Yes, she has fangs.]

I'm a former police officer and monster hunter. If anyone needs help with anything, I'll be around to help out. Please just let me know.

[The lines and creases of his face are carved deep with stress. There are bags under his eyes. Neither of these things are going to be unusual, he thinks, and he's seen no reason to hide them. He'd be surprised to hear a one among all the Legionnaires have been getting a good night's sleep.]

You all know what happened on that ship. The Silent Horizon. My part in events was small but, in its way, not insignificant. I broke my oath. I believed I was holding to it, at the time; I allowed my arrogance and my- my grief to blind me to what I knew was right. I allowed myself to become something which would have killed every one of you, given half a chance, and dragged you all into hell with me. I had my doubts about all of you, all of this, but I see it's myself I should have been watching - should've watched my cowardice, but instead I allowed it to drive me, and in so doing broke the oath we all took. That was unforgivable, but I'm crying your pardon anyway. All your pardons, I suppose. Anyone who feels moved to give one. You who don't will, I guess, just have to learn to work with me. The Legion's purpose here is noble, after all, even if one of its members has forgot how to measure up.

[For a second he watches the screen, considering. That could, perhaps, have been more succinct. But it's been a long time since he's done something like this, and it would be shameful not to get it right.]

[No, he decides, that's it. That's all. He reaches out toward the screen, and the video ends.]

[Kid Quantum has hit the sonic shower and changed into a fresh uniform, but she hasn’t hit the Med Bay to take care of the cut on her cheek. The medtechs are too busy with people who actually need their care, a scabbed-over cut is can be taken care of at any time. She looks tired: she hasn’t had a chance to rest since the remainder of the Legion was called to Cargg.]

Just to save everyone the need to explain things, this is a briefing to let both mission teams know what happened to the other. This message is secured even away from Legion staffers, so everyone can feel secure in sharing mission data. Everyone settle in and get comfy: it’s going to be a long one.

[ Grif is in high spirits today. He seems to actually be in one of the training rooms for once, which makes that a lot weirder. ]

Hey guys. There are a bunch of weirdos running around and it's been a while since we talked about powers. So guess what we're going to do today?

[ 'We' because he expects participation, dammit! ]

And because I'm feeling generous, I'll start. Guess who learned a new thing?

[ He points at himself with both thumbs and backs up, revealing a line of targets. He steps back, lines up his shoulder with them, and winds up his arm like a softball pitcher. He doesn't stop. Grif's arm blurs as he speeds up, and finally the force of the moving air is enough to tip over the nearest target. But only the nearest one. He stops, gestures at it with definite pride, and continues. ]

So let's talk about your powers because we already know mine are pretty awesome.

[ Of course they are, Grif. ]

Has anybody else figured out anything cool? And if you're new: I'm Grif and this is basically my job around here. Tell me what you got, because I'm still way disappointed about the lack of eye lasers we got going on on this team. I could read profiles, but who has time for that crap?

If I know you already... I don't know. Injury status report? What did you have for lunch? I'm just bored, okay?

So, we've got a bunch of new people. If we haven't met yet, hey. I'm Jason Lee Scott. In the field, you can call me Amp. But Jason's fine pretty much anywhere else. It's great to meet all of you. I'd turn this into a general introduction and powers announcement thing, but I think I'd hurt Grif's feelings if I stole his gimmick.

But we are gonna get to know each other outside of the regular Legion-mandated training. Don't worry about that. See, I've been saving up my money, what I haven't been sending to charities supporting recovery efforts on Naltor and Winath...

[And here he pauses for a moment to insert links to information on those charities.]

...Yeah, anyway. Like I said, saving stuff there, and I've got enough to afford a three day retreat. I mean, last time we went to a beach and it was great, and free, but I figure one or two of us have had enough of swimsuits for a little while. So this time, I figured that I'd put it up for vote.

I'm looking at three choices here. No pictures, we'll let some things about this be a surprise.

Option one: Plain ol' camping in the woods. I can get us a reservation in Yellowstone. Apparently Old Faithful isn't quite so faithful anymore, but we've still got cliffs and trees and all of that. We can chat, maybe do a bit of training while we're there, explore, all that. It'd be great.

Option two, and this one is neat: There's a campsite that's actually on an asteroid. One that's got two others in a stable orbit around it. Apparently Brainiac 3 used to use it as a lab or something to work in private, but the Coluans have confiscated everything after they died and all we're left with is three huge asteroids with low level gravity and an atmosphere. They promised me that there aren't any killer robots. [They actually seemed a little offended that it had been a concern.]

Option three could be a bit risky, but it still sounds cool. This one mad scientist made this hollowed out planet and filled it with an artificial ecosystem. It's got a fake sun, atmosphere, giant mushrooms... It's a little humid, but there's already some buildings, bathrooms with showers, and cooking sites set up, complete with, uh. 'Primordial beast repelling sonic fields'. Probably not going to be too much of an issue if something gets curious, though. Gravity's going to be a little higher than Earth's, though. 1.2 Gs.

So, uh. Yeah! Vote for which one sounds good and I'll set everything up for us to get on a week or two from now. Same as last time, you guys just get a bit of say in it now. We can set up campfires, cook some s'mores, play some games, get to know each other when there isn't a big crisis going down... It'll be fun!

[ The camera feed turns on, and it's immediately an in-focus, decently framed shot. Robbie actually has experience with selfie feeds and took the time to learn the controls before he started shooting.

The content is being winged, though, because it's really hard to screw up hello. Robbie grins at the camera. ]

The Pledge of a Legion, so that's a thing.

[ There's just enough of a rush to his voice to slur the edges of the words into "Pledge of Allegiance". Saying hi doesn't mean he can't amuse himself for a split second while testing the waters for possible temporarily-borrowed contemporaries. ]

Never actually had to vow before. Sign things, yes. This is kind of more official than I like to work, but a team's a team. You guys can help me with the future deets, and I'll start working on that new catchphrase for you.

[ And a new pledge, and a new team name, because wow. It's all so on-the-nose that it hurts, or maybe it's the smell of raw earnestness wafting around this place. He might've written up a few theoretical oaths for the New Warriors, back in the day, but he never got around to showing them to anyone. Enacting them, though, that takes consensus. Robbie doesn't think he'd have managed it.

He throws a deuce, because he'll never have another chance to confuse future alien peoples. ]

What up, Legion? Speedball in the house.

[ It’s that time again, gang! Grif’s broadcasting from scenic his room. You can tell it’s Grif’s room because it is an absolute disaster area. There’s all kinds of empty containers strewn everywhere, a pizza box, his other uniform (it’s rumpled and in serious need of a wash), and scattered bits of an orange suit of armor. Of note to those who’ve born witness to this appalling scene before, the far wall has a shiny little plaque on it. That’s new.

All of this is visible in the frame because Grif’s slouching back in his chair with the comm propped up on his desk. He’s a scruffy, somewhat flabby guy swiveling his chair lazily to and fro with one leg while eating… something as he talks. With his mouth full. Because Grif. ]

Alright guys, it’s come to my attention, as the one who tries to keep track of this shit around here, that we have new people. And when we have new people, that means we have new superpowers to figure out how they work.

[ Because clearly, clearly Grif is the only member of the team to take an interest in others and what they can bring to the table. It’s not that he’s nosy and just wants to know if anyone has eye lasers yet. He just gives and gives for this group, he swears.

Grif deigns to swallow before he continues. ]

So: New people. Lay it on me. Who are you, and can you do anything awesome? If it’s not awesome, make it sound awesome, cause that’s what I’m here for.

I’ll start for you:

[ He thumbpoints at his chest, getting space twinkie crumbs everywhere because he’s using that hand. ]

I’m Grif, Doubletime if you want to be that nerd who uses my code name, and I’m pretty much the fastest thing on this ship. Which is awesome.

[ He pauses for a moment, then adds, ]

…And the rest of you should probably come say hi? Tell them stuff? And tell me about the mission because I was stuck back here babysitting the ship and I mean... I took a lot of good naps, but...

[ He shrugs. Then he finishes off the space twinkie, balls up the wrapper, and throws it over his shoulder where it lands on top of the orange helmet. He is not even remotely concerned by this. ]

((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but if you want to have a character jump into a thread with anyone you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. This is set after the end of Lantern Plot, so characters who've been away on that are able to tag in too. )))

Listen up, Legion. Unfortunately, our little vacation from catastrophe is apparently over. (Surprise surprise.)

The Legion outpost around Phelolu just registered a new incursion through the rift, made up of several groups of people, all of them apparently armed with different colored power rings, not unlike the one that used to be wielded by your fellow Legionnaire, Hal Jordan, and not unlike the ones wielded by the various Lanterns of ancient galactic history.

The outpost was attacked by yellow and red ringwielders, but was successfully defended by ringwielders with pink, purple, blue, and green rings.

The outpost staff sent us the footage they captured.

[Footage briefly plays, showing the view outside the outpost of several groups of Lanterns fighting each other, glowing in various colors. The ones bearing yellow and red rings look terrible and sinister. Some of them look like they're mostly made up of claws and fangs, and the reds spew flaming blood at their enemies, burning some of them alive.]

[The violets are beautiful as they fly around with their crystalline powers -- and er, slightly scantily clad. The indigo tribesman are few but an impressive force on the battlefield, redirecting ring energy with their staffs. The greens and blues seem to work together very well -- green constructs bolstered by blue energy -- as if the blues were made to support the greens. After a successful defense is mounted for the Legion outpost and the red and yellow lanterns are dealt considerable damage, with many of them successfully captured, first the yellows retreat with stargates and then the reds.]

After the yellow and red Lanterns retreated to locations unknown, the contingents of pink, purple, blue, and green Lanterns contacted the outpost and were diverted to Legion World, where their situation was explained to them. Between Brainy's scans and their own words, we've determined that they're from the 21st century, in a slightly alternate universe, rather than our universe's own past. (And also an alternate to your universe, Jordan).

There are rumors that the Lanterns all retreated to the edge of the universe back in ancient times, and we believe that the reds and yellows may have left to seek out any of their counterparts that exist in this universe in the 31st century. If they find them -- and the location of the power batteries that would let them link up and recharge their rings -- we could be looking at a renewal of the ancient war they all used to fight.

The other contingents of Lanterns are allied together and asking for the Legion's help in stopping the reds and yellows. The greens think they already have a lead on where the ancient Green Lanterns settled in our universe. They think it might be on the remains of a once living planet called Mogo, who was a Green Lantern, and think they know where to find him. The pinks can apparently detect something similar and think they can find the power source that the pinks of this universe used to use in ancient times.

I'm going to be leading a team to go with them, as an escort and to help mount an offense against the reds and yellows before they return to wreak havoc in civilized space. The Lanterns we'll be working with aren't familiar with this century or any of its politics, and they're also even unfamiliar with some of its species since they didn't exist until certain worlds were colonized.

The team I bring has to be prepared to wield any rings we might be able to get our hands on. After seeing the power profiles they were able to give us, we're going to need all the firepower we can get. Our own powers might not cut it.

Questions, concerns, protests, or letters of resignation because an ancient space war is restarting and who needs that nass -- go.
