!IMPORTANT! video; username: 82736775

[ricksybusiness]

[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. ]

[hey, shit like that happened all the time in Fuyuki and nobody batted an eyelash.]

Even so, most would have remained unaware of those responsible were it not for this public broadcast of such an event unfolding.

( as shitty as her world is, she'd take the relative peace of it. explosions are fun to watch, sure, but usually the reason for them isn't. )

True, and potentially a problem to the peace-making process. It would benefit the king if he could claim credit for it, even though it was his spawn that caused this problem. If we want to help any further it would great if everyone believed the proof that they could trust that that's what we mean to do.

With the past transgressions we've committed toward the crown, convincing the human population that we're on their side will not be easy. Though I expect they'll be quite grateful for the return of the sun, so perhaps not all hope is lost.

[bougy]

Exactly. There's nothing like actually helping to convince people you're on their side. And we didn't just help the humans, we helped everyone. This occasion should be used by us to prove that, not used by someone else to prove whatever they may have on their agenda for the day.

And helping is what we want to do, right? So we can get off this bloody planet. ( maybe this sounds a bit flippant, but she means well. once they are gone she assumes it will be better for the general populace because it will also mean they'd managed to restore peace. )
