!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. ]

That's... that's amazing! You did it!

[Though you could have been a bit more graceful about it.]

I guess this just leaves the matter of trying to make peace around here.

I will ignore that 'magic' comment of yours, Mr. Doe.

[She rolls her eyes, but none the less, there's a smile in the tone of her voice. Thank goodness, one problem out of the way. Pearl addresses anyone else who might be listening in.]

Sure, we may have the issue of the sun returned, but what about the conflict between humans and goblins? Are we supposed to leave them behind to their own devices? There is sure to be blame pushed around between the two.

As much as I would like to move on, I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable leaving so soon. Besides, I wouldn't know where to start with how to leave this planet.

[Shiki had been pulling back one of the levers to ease the beam down from full power to 'off' before the whole thing blew up. Pulling himself up, he gave Rick a scowl while patting out a bit of a fire that set itself on his left sleeve.]

...Hope you don't need to use that machine a second time.

[He only seemed a little miffed about nearly dying in an explosion. Only a little.]

[Koltira's already gravelly voice sounds even rougher than usual. He doesn't look that happy about Rick's big reveal, either. Mostly he just looks a little pained.]

We're done here, then.

Thank god. And here I was getting sick of people trying to tell me that the thing was "magically blocked". Idiots.

[A pause.] So, what, is our job done in this place? We brought the sun back, what's left to do?

[well that was..... something.

so, the sky is back, but-]


The well overdue reunion of land and sky is a significant accomplishment. However, surely you realize it is not the sole objective of our mission in Chantes, correct?

[sorry to rain on your parade, queen of wet blankets coming through-]

There is still the matter of the conflict between Humans and Goblins that will not miraculously mend itself due to the sun's reappearance.

[don't expect stuff like this to happen overnight. y'know, now that there's finally 'day' to signal the night's end.]

In fact, I suspect civil unrest will only worsen as a result.

[proof of how close rin was to the machine itself can be seen in how she's currently... dusting herself off as she stands. also, her hair looks sort of windswept. also, there is a huge bag over her shoulder clearly stuffed with bandages and things. don't pay attention to that.

her face is captured by her communication jewel and for once she doesn't need her own magic to light herself up. her chin is turned down, her lips formed into a mild frown as if she isn't so impressed, but those who have met her will notice her expression seems a little softer, anyway.]


I'm so glad he was able to do it. Though I think screaming that at magic was uncalled for, he still has to learn.

[she pauses.]

—No, that's not true. We did it. And we're not done yet. We have peace to re-establish, too, before ALASTAIR says we're really finished here. When you've had your fill of enjoying the return of the sun, let's come together and start brainstorming. We'll show them all what we're made of, right?

I have a few ideas to throw around. They'll work. Well, probably.

[and, in case there was any worry, she's just going to keep talking. while she walks.]

Point one. There have to be people around Chantes who are half-goblin and half-human but aren't part of the Order of the Chimera. I've been trying to search for them. If we can find some and speak with them, we may have a greater chance of convincing both groups to listen.

Point two. There must be humans and goblins living in the city who would prefer for this whole conflict to stop, and who want to set peace in motion. If not in the past, then now. We need to make contact with them, as well.

Point three. We should— [uh oh, she's stepping over a tangled bunch of branches.] —attempt peace talks with the King and his people. We won't have a peace that lasts unless we explore every option, and everyone is on board.

We can do it. After all, not all of us are human, and I'd argue we've been doing pretty well for ourselves.

[it's at this point that rin tumbles, but luckily she's done chattering away. (don't worry about it.)]

(( ooc: this is the beginning of a player plot to work for the peace part of the mission in chantes! feel free to reply to rin here, and there will be a post going up in axiology tomorrow or so for planning and organization! ))

...You really called it that?

[That level of vehemence suggests a great deal of annoyance with the concept of magic or a great deal of insecurity about the concept of magic, and Raidou's not sure which is more applicable.

But the posturing isn't the important part here; what's important is the fact that the sun is no longer blocked.]


Congratulations.

Well that solves that problem. So now we all get to go home, yes? Even if we didn't exactly show up in time to get anything done?

Ah, we.....we did it? You did it, Rick-san!

[Yeah. Sakura's just. Focusing on that light returning. Not so much his swearing, or denouncing magic, exactly. Her expression is impressed and all but radiant in her excitement at the success.]

That's the sun. Now we just have to help stop the fighting, we're halfway there!

[ he's almost smiling. almost!! not quite though. Though he wasn't involved in the creation of the machine aside from helping gather ingredients, it is still immensely satisfying to see it work. Even if it kind of exploded afterwards - the results are what count! ]

It worked, [ he comments, sounding appreciative. ] Our mission is a success. Thank you.

[One thing about Dr. Eggman is that he likes to observe. In fact, seeing this is largely what keeps him from announcing his own presence in a boisterous manner across the network.

The subject of the video, though they might be cloaked, makes themselves as an intellectual pe- no, not a peer. A rival. An intellectual inferior, compared to his genius. Eggman observes the video carefully, taking notice of every little detail. The machine. It's function. The three figures scurrying about. That crude gesture that sneaks into the frame for the briefest of seconds.

Perhaps it's the secrecy of this that intrigues him, or perhaps it's just the need to gain some sort of figure to antagonize. Otherwise, it prompts him to test the water.

Eggman leans back into the cockpit of his machine, and fiddles with his jewelry.]


two moons is a bit excessive. :)
