( MINGLE - WEEK 3 )
 The sun is shining, the air conditioner units hum as they always do, and a gentle morning breeze blows against the windows. The scent of pine cones and evergreen follow you wherever you go in the motel, save for the parking lot and outdoor pool. It seems like someone was very generous with the detergent while moping the floors. The two grandfather clocks (one on each floor) will ring with each passing hour, indicating the time of day without fail. With this knowledge — they'll note the motel will continue to be surrounded by fog until 8:00 AM on the dot. It is at that hour that the fog will begin to recede. Not enough to reveal the whole city, but enough to allow residents to explore some of the buildings surrounding the motel. And speaking of the motel, it doesn't seem like there's anything out of the ordinary on this lovely Monday morning. How quaint. As a reminder, we are now accepting murder proposals for Week 3! If you're interested in having your character commit a murder this week, be sure to send in your proposal before Tuesday, 9:00 PM EST. Without any murders we can't have a murdergame, so go forth and let the bodies hit the floor! As always, feel free to PM us or send us a PP over plurk if you have any questions! ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation |

[He holds a fist out for Dipper. Bump it?]
Me too.
no subject
Seriously? I've never known anyone else like that. [tilts his head a bit] I guess we'll have to officially make you an honorary Pines, then.
no subject
[It came out vehement and he realizes it after he says it. He stills but works to clarify.]
Sorry. I appreciate it, seriously, dude. I just don't want to be anythin' but a Strider.
[Dave is his family. Dave is his only family. Allowing even the joke or pretence of more feels like a betrayal. He can't imagine it.]
Uh. Serious about the overthinkin' to the point of makin' things complicated and gettin' in my own way thing. I spent well over half a decade trying to set up the ground work for askin' a boy I liked out. A lot of my efforts just made things messier and, frankly, more stupid.
no subject
That's fine? [clears his throat] I mean, that's fine. I meant more like ... those friends who visit the family so much they're basically like second family? Bad timing for that kinda comment though. Gotcha.
[y i k e s. of course then dirk goes through the rest dipper relaxes a bit to ... seemingly melt in embarrassment in his seat]
Ugh, that sounds exactly like me with We-- with this girl I liked, but over even more time. That's-- that's rough, dude.
no subject
[Feelings. Dead brother. AWKWARD. He appreciates the idea. Dipper is a good kid.
Let's focus on awkward romance instead of the one about family and loneliness and whatnot.]
It was ten kinds of stupid, but for some reason Jake hasn't decided he wants to end our friendship yet. [Jake is Too Good for Dirk, as far as Dirk is concerned.] You probably know how easy it is to get carried away with things.
no subject
Oh! I didn't know you meant Jake. [...dipper... plz] Ugh, yeah, I know. I get so obsessed over stuff ... I had this whole, like, forty-seven step plan to ask Wendy on a date, and then I made a bunch of clones of myself, and then there was a mutiny because I thought maybe I should just talk to her like a normal person, and it was this whole thing-- it was so stupid. Or once I nearly got us killed by a shapeshifter because I didn't just tell her and... yeah. [he seems to realize he has shared TOO MUCH and stops] She's the same way, though. I was really glad she wanted to be friends even after all that.
no subject
Wendy sounds like she's pretty cool.
no subject
She's the coolest person I know. [he says this like it's an absolute fact because. it is.] It was great having her around in the apocalypse.
no subject
Wait.]
I didn't know you two were apocalypse kids. [Mabel smashes pies isn't that a DON'T DO IT on Apocalypse Kid 101?]
no subject
blinks]
Oh, we're not. Or-- well, hopefully we won't be. The end of the world is kind of a recent thing? We were kind of on our way to stop it when we got dropped here instead. So like... at least in this scenario there is no giant head with an arm trying to eat me so far? Pros and cons, dude.
no subject
Where does the arm attach? [The important question.]
no subject
The top. Wait, lemme just-- [at that, dipper takes out his notepad and quickly draws, his tongue poking out in concentration. he then shows it to dirk and it is. something. ... at least it's pretty well drawn?] He kept asking me to get in his mouth, but I don't even know... where his mouth leads.
no subject
no subject
Yes. Yes it was. [but then he shrugs] But my personal trauma aside, that was just the tip of the iceberg of weirdness. We're in an event called Weirdmageddon-- reality basically unraveled because of a rift between dimensions.
no subject
no subject
Nothing was weirder than this one guy kind of pathetic reporter guy who gave himself a makeover and asked us to call him Bodacious T from now on. Like... no. Just... no.
no subject
Were there any clowns?
no subject
[the one way gravity falls isn't homestuck]

no subject
[This is a very firm statement. He doesn't know who Bill is. He doesn't know much. But he does know one thing.]
Clowns are never fuckin' normal.
[That said:]
Did Bill break reality?
no subject
[that was. strong clown feelings.]
Yeah. He's a triangle demon from the nightmare realm? The rift basically let him escape his own dimension into ours and now he has infinite power. It's not great.
no subject
[That explains triangle demons??]
And the triangle demon is behind the Weirdpocalypse.
no subject
Yep. I don't know what he's planning to do with it except the end of the world? When I last saw him he said he was going to party.
