!IMPORTANT! video; username: 82736775

[The video is from everyone's favorite camera-shy mad scientist, 82736775. This time, he's not even present in a carefully-framed way; he appears to just be using his jewellery as a Go-Pro.

The view is a large machine in the middle of the woods. It's crudely constructed, with loud, grinding gears and exhaust tubes belching smoke. There are three figures scurrying about -- Dipper, Shiki, and Hide, for those of you who would recognize them -- pulling levers and turning cranks and struggling to hear each other over the machine's groaning. Jars of fairy goop hang off the thing like lanterns in a coal mine.]


Listen uuuup, bitcheesss!

[The view jerks, then readjusts as the sky comes into focus.]

Thanks to my genius and everybody else's scrappy, can-do attitude, we're about to make scientific history. By which I mean w-we're about to blow this bullshit away.

[His hand enters the frame. He is flipping off the sky.]

Engage Operation: Fuck You, Magic!

[The frame stays centered on the sky, though the machine's groaning reaches almost deafening levels. Above the cacophony, there's a high-pitched whining: something is warming up. All over Chantes, the ground shakes.

Then bright green fills the screen and everything is so loud that it's almost silent. Those of you who are at a distance may see a gigantic green beam shooting into the sky just before everything turns bright white for a few long seconds.

And suddenly, there is light. Stars. Two moons. The sky is back.

82736775 is laughing maniacally. He swings the frame around to the giant machine, which has blasted wide open: smoking panels have fallen to the ground, exposing frayed wires. His assistants are also on the ground, looking dazed.]


Suck my dick, Narnia! Haha, yeah!

Now let's figure out what to do and get the hell off this rock! Team science, ouuuut!

[ ooc. IMPORTANT! the sun is now returned. from this point on, there are normal day-night cycles in chantes! be aware there are two moons, and the sun rises in the west. use this post to discuss what to do now! threadjacking encouraged. thank you to my fellow players and our modteam for making this plot so successful! i love you all.

UPDATE! check this thread for conversation on a peaceful option. ]

You think he's hiding something...? Like what?

Let's put it this way: what sort of guy, when suspecting someone of planning to murder his wife, just spreads rumors about how he's going to do it rather than try to stop him? Especially when he's the king of the realm and could just have him arrested?

They won't let anybody search the area where the "murderer" lived either. The whole house is just gone. I think there's a coverup.

[that's too messed up.]

Wait, wait. You'll have to forgive me. I'm a newer recruit.

The King did nothing to stop the goblin assassin? At this point, I doubt the poisoning incident ever happened, but you're going to have to tell me a little bit more.

SUPPOSEDLY, he suspected the goblin confidante was up to something before the actual murder. Or so he apparently spread around, anyway. But if he did, then why wouldn't he have bothered doing something about it?

Furthermore, nobody was allowed to see her body after her death. She may have been having a... deeper relationship with her confidante than most people realize.

So our dear departed Queen was... involved with a goblin. Closely.

So it seems. And based on what we know of how the King sees goblins, that can't have been a welcome development.
