You’d think that after years and years of every assortment of monster that all came from some kind of Greek myth, Dipper had noticed, trying to kill him and his sister, that just maybe Dipper’s paranoia would have lessened once they’d been gifted with that rather overwhelming knowledge that the Goddess Athena was their Mother. Sure, maybe it finally answered that age-old question about why the strange and deadly situations the twins ended up in even occurred let alone as frequently as they did. There was plenty it didn’t answer, let alone even more their now apparently far from dead mother couldn’t tell them quite yet, other than that they needed to hot foot it to the other side of the country to the only place that could keep them safe. Right. Coz’ he was suppose to believe some summer camp was going to protect them? What were they going to do? Sing Kumbaya until whatever latest Greek horror bled to death from the ears?
As skeptical as Dipper had been several days ago, he’d grown quite used to the new reality laid out for him. Granted, it was pretty easy to accept when such a crazy life also meant a few perks of ts own. After finally pocketing the hotel keys he’d programmed, the youngest Pines’ twin silently crept out of the back lobby and back out the way he came. As worried as he was, it’s not like anyone would see him, but he couldn’t help worrying he’d suddenly come upon some unforeseen weakness in the invisibility the hat he’d been given granted him. The moment the door closed, he bolted back the way he had agreed to meet his sister, stopping near the couple dumpsters at the back of the hotel, “Mabel?” Dipper didn’t know why he was whispering, though he nearly blushed realizing he hadn’t taken his hat off, tugging it off suddenly to reveal himself and the disheveled state their journey had left him in. What was keeping her? He worried at his lip slightly, hands playing with the plastic keys in his pocket to distract himself mildly. @colorful-comet
