Ooo, so we're going with pink and yellow, huh? Maybe if we could find some way to apply glitter to this layouty doodad, we could make something that really stands out from the crowd!

..Saaay. You don't have any glue over there, do you?

Maybe some popsicle sticks?

...Please, tell me you have pipe cleaners!

Argh! I can't believe I'm being constrained artistically and it's only day one and I'm not even sure what constrained means! We gotta think of something big to make up for this! It's a matter of crafts or death!

[DID SOMEONE SAY BEING CONSTRAINED ARTISTICALLY? Obviously this is time for an intervention.]

The cries of a young artist aren't beautiful but I know how to soothe them. I shall lend my skills and funds to this cause.

Lay 'em on me, sister! How much funds have you got? Is it more than eleven dollars? Oh! And what skills do you have in mind, are we talkin' stickers or markers or yarn...?

My artistry has ranged from poetry to sculpture to script-writing to various instruments. No doubt my previous experience will help in any of this modern craft. As for funds, well. [She takes out a wallet filled with... oh gods. It's at least fifty dollars.]

Will this be enough?

Ohhh, so you're raking in the Hollywood dough, I get ya. [She's taken script writing a little... differently-- ooh, money.]

Oh my gosh! You must've had to save up your allowance for awhile to get this much!

Something like that, child. [Well. Her plays were performed briefly. She gets the modern analogy!]

Now, do you think we can get enough materials? If more is needed that won't be a problem.

[Somewhere, the poor Master is wondering where all the money went.]

Oh, my name's Mabel! If we're gonna be in business, we gotta know each other's names so we know what to put on all the merch!

Hmmm... well, I know there's a craft store not very far from here, that shouldn't be too bad, right?

You can call me Saber. [This girl is fairly perceptive. Good!]

That should work!

Hey, that almost kinda sorta rhymes! You know, in the beginning! Like table and taber! That's a good sign, rhyming names are really big in the crafty industry! Well. They should be, anyway.

Ah, they are similar. I''m not up to date on the industry but it would make sense.

Oh, no! Tell me you've heard of Play Boh! Sloppy Puddy? Our friend the bedazzler?

Would you introduce me to this 'bedazzler'?

Absolutely yes! Prepare your jaw for when it drops to the floor, perhaps with a really comfy cushion!

[And lo, Nero was thus introduced to a... gun thingy that sticks rhinestones onto things. What kind of things? ALL OF THEM.]

This... ah!

[The world wuld never be the same.]

So, this machine can stick these stones to anything?

Yes! They fall off kinda easily, though, so make sure to put a lot of them on, to make up for their lost brothers, last seen somewhere under the couch.

[one quick rummage through the dearmun hammerspace and voila, one (slightly damaged) bedazzler.]

[She is staring at this marvelous relic.]

This machine... show me it's powers firsthand! [She is holding out her arm so that Mabel has access to her sleeve.]

You got it! If you had a seat, this is where you'd hold onto it!

[Ka chunk ka chunk ka chunk. Guess who's sleeve now has a ring of rhinestones all around it. And maybe a flower, sure, all part of ~the design~]

Ta-da! So, whaddya think? Might need some glitter glue....

[She's staring at her arm. This... this is the work of the gods.]

You certainly have the mind of an artist, Mabel! This is quite well done!

[She's in love with the bedazzler.]

Ugh, out of everything terrible about this place, being constrained here is the worst. I mean, how am I going to be able to figure out mysteries and hunt down weird, spooky stuff if the only things I actually can hunt down is my mun's own inner demons? [That was an attempt at a joke sort of.]

I can't even stay in a game long enough to do some real investigating or mystery solving. That's like shoving a mechanic in a wooden box with nothing but a wrench and his own mind. It's inhumane!

Aww, is Dipper getting bored? Try to look on the bright side! Maybe all those inner demons are really, really messed up? Quality over quantity is more than a cliche, it's a fact of life!

Oh oh, I know what to do about those! We can organize a strike! I've seen them on TV. Refuse to do any work until they give you at least a hammer.

Aw, shucks. And hey, save some applause for when I finish up the other side, too, or you'll be all praised out!

Unless -- oh, do you wanna give it a shot? [Oooo audience participation...]

... Crafts or death?

[One (1) grumpy dwarf king summoned by "craft". Even if he's not convinced this is actual serious business.]

It's a thing. One time, at summer camp, one of my friends didn't get to make paper mache stuff with the rest of us and ulp!

[no they didn't.]

I see this is a serious matter.

[No he doesn't.]

What can be done so that you avoid such a fate, you think?

Well, you need a lot of old newspapers and some gluey water, and some stuff to make up what you're sticking it to. I think I've seen balloons once!

That does not sound as if anything sturdy would come of it.
