[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. ]

No! That's not what I meant, and you know it!

[Actually, maybe he does want to see her face right now. It's probably red to the gills. Who knew such a proud little magus could prove so sensitive with just a few compliments? Perhaps it's fortunate that they're currently apart, or his hands might just misbehave again... he really does have a type.

Thankfully for Rin, Gilgamesh does decide to cooperate. At least the text masks his insufferable tone.]

What more did you require from me?

[what a comforting thought, gilgamesh.]

It's best we meet with the King as a group, and we have a plan.

Plan? What plan? Do you doubt me, girl?

I shall speak to him and sway his hand. That will prove sufficient.

[So he thinks... he really won't be prepared for the inevitable ship-crashing accusations.]

Of course I doubt you! Did you just forget what our last run-in with each other was like?

What I'm saying is we'll need more input than yours to decide what to propose to the King, and we all need to be on the same page. We need to coordinate so everything is perfect.

I also need to not be anywhere alone with you!

Are you expecting an apology? That I might bow down to your heels and beg forgiveness, plead that you would show me the way with your superior insight and no doubt peerless diplomatic skill?

I am a King. You are a child -- or if you insist, a young woman. It is ludicrous that you would question my capabilities when I ruled my people as none other would or could, beloved by them, praised by them, worshiped by them. Of course I know how to navigate politics, of course I know the meaning of consensus, you essentially ask if I know how to breathe air.

Put your faith in me or don't. Point to a place and it is there I shall stand and make my case, along with the others.

Beyond that, there is no need for intimate discussion on the matter.

One way or another, Rin Tohsaka, this will end.

I promise you that much.

go blow yourself, gil

Suit yourself.

[she's gritting her teeth, outside of the text message. she's irritated.

he does have a point about his expertise. even if he didn't, there's no arguing with him. he'll hear no argument. to a certain extent, he's a product of his time and his abilities and so she (god why is she actually thinking this) can't hold much of it against him.]

I'll send you a message to tell you when and where. If you're doing this to play nice for Pearl, it will take a genuine effort.

[and... bye felicia]
