video. un: G.SLQHV

—Hey, guys! Guess what!

[ Here to break up all the doom and gloom on the network is Dipper, grinning broadly into the camera as he makes a small wave with his free hand. Hovering over his shoulders are none other than Papyrus and Kolitra, as well. ]

Soooo I know we've had nothing but a bunch of bad news lately, and nobody's really sure how to deal with this god business ahead of us... Well, I'm happy to say we've got something good for us! You know, for once.

[Papyrus was hovering over Dipper’s shoulder, but instead now is cramming his skull to fit into the video feed, right next to Dipper’s face. Sorry. What’s personal space.]

POMARR’S OUR FRIEND NOW!!

[ DID SOMEONE SAY DOOM AND GLOOM because hey this guy is here, too, looming. Wearing his full, ominously glowing dreadplate armor. Staring into the camera. He’s significantly less angry than before, though. If anything, he just looks solemn. Subdued. His rough voice, too, is relatively soft; deep and still and drained of the mad despair he had felt when he last spoke on the network. Instead, he seems detached; resolved, but--sorrowful, too. ]

We have convinced her to join ALASTAIR. She has furthermore provided us with instructions. We are to board the restored warship in ten days’ time, at which point we will confront Ryba--and Nalanni, in the bargain.

[ He pauses, and then goes on. ]

Pomarr was clear: once Nalanni perishes, our diminished magic will be restored. It is the only way. She cannot undo it herself.

[ Another beat. ]

I realize that not all of you like this course of action.

[ I.e., the skeleton right beside him, for instance. ]

But it is what must be done. There is no way around it. Pomarr has promised to guide us, but we must ensure that we are ready to face this trial. If you wish to speak, I will listen.

You heard it here first, folks. So how 'bout it?

[ There's a beat, then Dipper finally side-eyes the skeleton shoving himself entirely too close. He frowns slightly, then begins to pull away. ]

Jeez, man, you're too clo

[ And that's when the feed ends. ]


[ ooc: there will be an OOC planning post for the final battles going up this weekend! ]

That's not the same thing as explaining this situation.

[The murder, the rest of it. If there's a plan for what comes next.]

You have proof of how they function, not that what you've proposed is the only solution.
respired: ain't a damn thing funny, boy (watch your smile)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-30 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Still not the task for me. I am not one for delicacy in speech, anymore.

And what other solutions do you offer? What proofs do you possess?

I noticed.

Experience. And in my experience, which has come from tangling with a few magical threats, there's always another way.
respired: you're a marked man brother (the day i stop is the day i'm through)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-30 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Experience? And your experience overrules all others?

[ Girl, he is a magical threat. ]

[personal profile] sheriffing 2016-05-30 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Well then the truth is right in front of them, isn't it?]

My experience tells me not to give up without a fight. This conversation tells me you only deal in extremes.

That's not the most helpful approach to this.
respired: and it sets you free (if you search your soul)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-30 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
I deal in reality, no matter how ugly it may be.

Traveling worlds is dealing in multiple realities. Not just your version of it.

STOP!!! FIGHTING!!!! BOTH OF YOU!!!!

[NOT TO POINT OUT THE OBVIOUS, BUT - ]

... He started it.

[This is what happens when people try to silence Emma Swan. Sorry Papyrus, she didn't mean for you to get stuck in the middle of that.]

[personal profile] boneafide 2016-05-30 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
He might have started it but you made it worse!! This was a post to be happy about not having a lot of really unhappy undead cats!! Not for fighting!!

[too bad even with video, one can't see him stomping his foot. ]
sheriffing: (🌟 297)

[personal profile] sheriffing 2016-05-30 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Then he shouldn't have decided that the only people permitted to speak are the ones who agree with him.

[ Besides, this? Still less fighting than Emma is used to.]

Sometimes fighting is necessary. This kind? A little necessary right now.

[personal profile] boneafide 2016-05-30 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm really tired of it, though. A month ago, I thought we could all get along well enough...

If you're going to fight, can you do it somewhere I don't see?
sheriffing: (🌟 90)

[personal profile] sheriffing 2016-05-30 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
I can do that.

[The question is, can he?]
respired: are you the cure (i am a virus)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-31 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I have nothing more to say.

[ He cannot argue against unfounded suspicion. Time to stop trying. The fullness of time is on his side, and though he is not patient by nature, he will wait for it. ]

That makes two of us.

[It's not unfounded, and if he still thinks it is, she's done with this conversation.]
