!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. ]

Ideally. It... might not actually be that easy.

The King appears to be a giant thorn in everyone's sides.

Get enough people behind something, and it won't matter what he thinks.

[Of course, getting them there is the hard part...]

I agree. [this is, after all, why she's been telling others gaining the king's support won't be so critical.] A little violence to displace the bigots is fine.

Better if it's their violence then ours, but that'll depend how talks go.

Huh? Oh, I don't intend to kill the King. That would be a huge no-no. Michel may or may not be fine as a target, however.

Their world, their situation. If anyone dies I tend to think it's better if it's not at the hand of outsiders.

But Michel might be enough of a problem that we don't have many options.
defenceless: (how lazy)

[personal profile] defenceless 2016-02-11 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, you're correct.

Not that we have any idea what Michel's up to, right now...

I'd like to think this is good news, and not "you'll never see him coming" news, but...

[ But he's a goddamned ninja engaged in clan warfare with other goddamned ninja, he's far too used to the latter. ]

[as is she.]

It's probably "you'll never see him coming" news.

It usually is.
