MTG Salvation

A monocled eye peers through the recently broken wall.

Jeeves: "M'lord, it appears someone bore a hole through your wall."

Lord Grey: "Well, that can't be. The foreman assured me that the building material was but a hairbreadth below darksteel on the Interplanar Hardness Scale."

Jeeves: "Regardless, a hole has been cut in this very spot. Most curious, it's shaped like a heart and its edge is rimmed in green light."

Lord Grey: "Heart-shaped portals in my wall? This won't do at all.

*takes a long sip from his teacup*

"An investigation is in order."

Hm... breaking the fourth wall apparently has more side effects than I imagined, such as twisted timelines. (Aurora broke the fourth wall quite a bit before meeting Lord Grey, so she wouldn't be sure how that hole got in that wall either...)

Alex, the spiders sick= Olivia (for further reference)
ok, we need to stop here... where are we again?= me(for further reference)

His curiosity piqued, Lord Grey leaves his teacup on his desk and inches towards the hole in the wall.

Lord Grey: "Do you hear that, Jeeves? There are...voices coming from the other side of the wall.

"Who are you? And state your business."

Jeeves: "I would advise against that, M'lord.

*gestures at the prominent Roman numeral "IV" etched into the wall*

"This happens to be the fourth wall and interacting with it can have dire consequences."

Lord Grey: "How dire:

"Debt to the deathless dire?

"Curse of insatiable blood thirst dire?

"...Shopping for clothes with Svetlana dire?"

Eyes downcast, Jeeves slowly shakes his head.

A paper airplane makes its way through the hole in the wall, landing on the floor. The paper appears to have green light glowing in it. Attached to the paper, there are also two pieces of solid light residue (one pink and one blue) that assemble to form a heart the exact shape of the hole in the wall.

Olivia, Arthur's venom is purple... That's spider flu right?
well yeah... Woah! There's a hole. In the ground. With a guy with a tea cup
are you sure? Cause that makes no sense, a specially on an island in the middle of nowhere.
yes I'm sure, cause it's right there!
ok! Sorry... Want some beef jerky?

Lord Grey: "First voices, then flying paper notes, now...SPIDER FLU?"

Jeeves: "As I suspected, utter madness lies beyond the fourth wall!"

Lord Grey: "Damn it, man. Plug that hole, Jeeves. NOW!"

With gloved hands, Jeeves hurriedly pieces together the glowing patch and slaps it over the hole in the wall.

*THOOMP!*

As the glowing heart has a similar texture as stained glass, it is still possible to see a bit through it... though this should stop further interference, at least from folded paper messages. Not sure what effect it has on this sort of spider venom though...

As for real-world stuff, I'm taking on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The second movement is of course the easiest one, first one isn't difficult to learn, but the third movement is the big one here.

...Well then, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

*Optional Spoiler-tagged Expository Cutscene forthcoming*

The lack of eternal masters spoilers is a bit disappointing,... I'm going to a swap meet called Frank and Sons tomorrow... I hope to find goodies... The large and stuffed and pikachu kind of goodies...

The announcement of goodies this month has been pretty good tho. A new planeswalker intro style product... 4 color commander decks and Nissa vs Ob Nixilis Duel Deck...

Some eavesdroppers start knocking on the stained glass window. "Hey, is that expository cutscene ready yet?"

-----

And that's a lot of products being announced... not sure how well 4C decks would work. Lots of vivid lands and tri-lands? These usually don't have any rare lands in them...

Rule #1 of eavesdropping: Don't knock on the window and announce that you're eavesdropping.

...By the way, that cutscene is still forthcoming. Just waiting for a chance to post on a desktop as composing long, heavily-formatted entries with a smartphone is quite a chore.

RULE #2, DONT SPEAK LOUD, LIKE THIS
*sighs* why did we come here any way? And Jeeves, you should not be so blatantly demeaning of your earl. Were coming through, possibly with a more permanent solution to the Azorius wenches patch me up
Window crashes and Olivia, in a black summer dress with gold stitching, and a large green streak through her ginger hair comes through first, then so do I, in a long shirt, blue jeans and a leather jacket.
were going incognito

Alex, do you have my "Suprises?"
I pull a green vial my satchel
yeah, it was this one yeah... What the?
As I hand the vial to Olivia it starts to turn purple
i hope that is good, cause otherwise ky'than will have you head
I know. Oh where are our manners olivia!?
I am Alexzander Akhlys, and this is my companion,
Olivia Gloomheart. We heard you names through the hole.

"Really?! You had to break the wall again? They don't want the fourth wall to be broken there!"

*Expository Cutscene cancelled due to recent interplanar transgressions*

Lord Grey: "...Alexzander and Olivia, was it? I trust you have an impeccably good reason for barging into my office without an appointment."

Yeah, we need to find some stuff, also your place is big. Oh and I'll fix the wall.
I raise my hand in an artful gesture, and the wall around the hole starts to bubble and expand, until the hole disappears.
also, you'll have no more eavsedroppers

I think people would riot if there were Chimney Imp and Mudhole reprints...

quick question, Earl grey, do you have any idea where I might procure one of these items? amutant pineapple that breathes fire, a pheldagryff tooth, and a shattered heartstone?
Olivia starts running her hand around the Earls room, and cobwebs form around the objects she touches, and then the wall opens up again, and in comes Arthur.

@Hydranianknighttamer: I admire your enthusiasm, but I'm calling it quits on this RP exchange. With all this chaos, I'm starting to have NC-18 flashbacks.

Since we're starting a new adventure, Hydranian can make a character in the GreyCorp saga, maybe?

NC-18 = a previous story arc that was too chaotic and uncontrolled.

@Hydranianknighttamer: If you're interested in joining GreyCorps, PM Grey (Aurora's thinking of taking a break).

Not wholly impressed with Worldgorger Dragon being printed at mythic... I guess there had to be ***** mythics... Now that I see Sneak Attack, I'm waiting for a Show and Tell too.... And a Liliana of the Veil, Snapcaster, Stoneforge, Batterskull, Goblin Guide and Linvala...
