!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. ]

I don't know what you're talking about.

I couldn't possibly be seeing things, considering that look on your face. Tell me, do you have a penchant for spiders?

[ SHE WILL SHANK YOU. ]

No? No, I don't. Why?

[ For a moment, Alice falters, because this one moment, she questions her sanity and wonders if it is a conjuring of her own mind.

It can't be, she wouldn't have gotten that far, and she wouldn't have bumped into Ban. ]


Well, unless you somehow built a giant spider in a matter of seconds by your own hands, I daresay that was magic. I should give you thanks, I wouldn't have found my friend if it weren't for you.

It wasn't a giant spider, it-

[And then he shuts his mouth, cheeks slightly flushing. He pushes his glasses up to hide his expression, his tone sounding a little strained.]

Never mind. It wasn't what you were thinking. [And a pause.] It was nothing. I was just there for the ride.
digophelia: (no)

[personal profile] digophelia 2016-01-25 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ ls;dfjsadsf;!!! ]

So it was magic.
headlining: (stop trippin')

[personal profile] headlining 2016-01-25 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
No! [FRICK] No, it wasn't magic. It wasn't! J-just...it wasn't magic in any shape or form.

[hello a certain river in egypt you are looking lovely today!]

It wasn't my imagination, either.

[ She's deeply relieved with this. ]

Such a thing is unexplained, unless you have a perfectly scientific explanation, sir.

[He's never been confronted about this so blatantly. He opens his mouth, then closes it, mind racing for some kind of beautiful logical explanation that will somehow make this whole situation go away.]

[There is no explanation, of course. He stares, mouth twitching, before he glances away.]


I-I don't want to talk about it. That's enough.

[ Alice isn't cruel, she won't hammer someone for an explanation or confront them if they're uncomfortable. She rolls her eyes because it hides the fact she may feel slightly guilty. ]

Suit yourself.

Hmmph.

[And that's that. Just shove down the uncomfortable feelings down for another day, Keats, like you always do.]

By the way, I never did ask you who your friend was. The one you saved.

[He's biting his tongue because he has the real urge to say "YOU HAVE BAD TASTE IN FRIENDS, ALICE". Instead, he'll go for something more subtle:]

You, uh....really know how to choose them, don't you.

[personal profile] digophelia 2016-01-25 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
I know he has the capacity to be crude and childish, however-

[ She's insane, she already knows. She's nothing more than a lousy maid and terrible matron. She considers herself lucky to have him a friend. ]

It doesn't matter to me, he's my friend, and he is a very good friend.
headlining: (screams from the haters)

[personal profile] headlining 2016-01-25 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
He keeps insulting me, so, uh, I do think I saw the "crude" and "childish" part pretty clearly.

[There's a pause.]

...But if he's a friend of yours, I'm not going to get in the middle of that. You probably see something in him I never will.

Maybe you did something to earn his ire.

[ She'll also stay out of that, but is more than likely to lean on Gintoki. Nobody messes with her friends. ]

So I do and I am content with that.
headlining: (wow my keywords are dumb)

[personal profile] headlining 2016-01-25 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm sort of an acquired taste. I tend to butt heads with others. Also, I'm pretty sure he just likes messing with me.

[Which is annoying and juvenile, he thinks, as he throws back insults and sassy statements back at Gintoki in another conversation.]

How did you two meet?

[ She won't say she doesn't really believe him. ]

When we first arrived here, the Order of the Chimera left a message on the streets in front of us. That was when we first arrived in this world and the rest of you followed. We met on the streets and had cake. I've kept in touch with him since.

Ah, so you were fast friends of sorts. [He can't really find any fault at that.] There weren't a lot of recruits in the beginning, were there?
