MABEL! HERE!

*something purple flickers in and out of existence in front of you*

C’mon-

*finally, a pair of purple noise- cancelling headphones appear in front of you, hovering in the air, being suspended by a purple light*

-Cy

(she reaches a hand out, grasping a hold of the headphones that flicker before her eyes)

woah— thanks!

(in a quick but clumsy movement, mabel does her best to get the headphones over ford's ears.)

this is WAY preferable to having to punch you!

Hello, Dear!

I’m seeing how you’re holding up—I see you’re being quite social, as always, haha!

Take care of yourself, Dear.

And please, rest.

*A knock at the door before a voice comes through*

(mabel opens the door, and a grin quickly makes it's way omto her face.)

pacifica, hi! come in! oh— and ignore the mess. i waaaas trying to organise since i thought itd be relaxing and stuff buuuut then it got reeeeally boring. so just like, pretend everythjngs all neat and everything! imagination.

anyway! are you ready to make the best cupcakes ever??

[mabel-angelo]

Forgive me, but you look just like my great-nephew, Mason Pines....the similarity is simply uncanny...

um, i do nooot look like dipper! i look like me!! just because he's my brorher doesnt mean i LOOK like him. ...well, okay MAYBE a little, but i have my own way totally cooler style!

Mabel I am extremely proud of you for consistently shutting down any of Bill's attempts to talk to you. Having an Anti-Cipher zone is a great idea and so I would like to recommend using unicorn hair to prevent him from coming near you. My 2nd journal also has some helpful runes!! If all else fails, play tv static for him.

thank you! ...the anti-cipher zone is a total fail, but it gets a message of "these fists are rated B for bill" across at least! usually. some arw dumber than others.

—buuuut the shacks protected with unicorn hair! AAAAND i wear a unicorn hair bracelet! sooooo like, even if im ever tricked i cant get possessed (probably)! ill totally be checking out those runes, too!! never such thing as too safe, right?

and thanks for the tip about the tv static!!

Are you... another v-version of m-my sister? W-wait, you d-don't have a Bill, right? Or, wait, you would... you h-haven't met the Bill who... who hurt me, r-right? I... I bet you have. He g-gets around.

(hey the bill who torments me says you're part of the lore so here i am the kid who got tortured himself, @cervitaur-dipper in the tumblr)

wait, so youre— gosh. i thought— i mean, i hoped he wasnt serious about... i hoped he was just making stuff up to scare me. . ...im so sorry.

but, um. yeeeah—! ive had bill bugging me! a lot of bills, actually. like, at least 3 or something. ...including the one who... yeeeeeah.
