in regards to incredibly shy and nervous mun

[bedazzling]

Come on, Munny! Relax! Breathe, okay? You'll be fine! I'm sure this place isn't that bad.

I don't see why you're so freaked out in the first place. I mean, this isn't the first time you've played me, and you've had lots of practice from your musebox! Except now you're in a new and bigger place, and you don't really know anyone here, and– ...Oh. Actually, I see your point.

[And cue awkward laugh.] ...Hey, I know what'll make you feel better! A sweater! I'll knit you one and bedazzle it, and you can wear it, and we can be twins! Er, sweater twins, that is. Dipper already beat you to the punch for "Biological Twin".

Aww, you're smiling! See, that's the spirit! I told you you had nothing to worry about! Now, get out there, sister, and make new friends! [And in a low whisper, she adds:] And if one of those friends happens to be – oh, I dunno – a cute boy or even a vampire, maybe you could introduce me? Huh? Huuuh? [Wink, wink; nudge nudge.]

Just kidding! ...But no, seriously, if you could, that would be amazing!

You really shouldn't play with vampires. Or at least I'm not supposed to.

[...ignoring the fact that the gray skin and sometimes red eyes make him look like one.]

[bedazzling]

[And she's just going to give a very confused and distressed look.]

What!? But they're... they're... dreamy! And passionate! Why shouldn't I mess with one?

[greatestheroever]

Being turned into a vampire is a serious condition. I think adults don't want kids to make those sort of life decisions.

[bedazzling]

But–! Well... you're right, but... They're just so... cool.

[She doesn't even know what to say; he does have a point.]

[greatestheroever]

I didn't know vampires were cool now. I thought that was werewolves? But I'm probably not allowed to play with those either.

[bedazzling]

Werewolves are overrated.

[They're too hairy for her.]

And why can't you play with them?

[greatestheroever]

I'm not sure, but I think they're worried that if I'm bitten it'll bring out my hidden dark side or something.

[bedazzling]

Hidden dark side...?

[greatestheroever]

Well, I was cloned from a clone of a supervillain. So it'd probably be bad if I were a vampire too.

I mean, I am going to be a hero, and there are heroes are who are related to supervillains, and heroes who are clones, and heroes who are vampires, but all of those at once might be pushing it a little.

[pinevestigator]

With you, I don't think your Mun should have anything to worry about. ..She might have a bit of a handful, but.....definitely nothing to worry about.

[Dipper grins, teasing. You're not the only one with a mun nervous about playing a twin here, Mabel.]

[bedazzling]

Dipper!

[And suddenly, Mabel's heart fills up with joy until... she catches onto your words, Dipper. And now she's pouting. Playfully, of course, but a pout nonetheless.]

Hey! Well, my mun may have to deal with me being a handful, but yours has to deal with you being a dork!

[pinevestigator]

[Oh buuurn. She's got you there, Dip. He allows a mock frown to cross his expression before he playfully pokes Mabel in the side.]

Ha ha, ookay, whatever you say Mabel. Just don't come crying to me when your mun starts demanding to trade you for someone a little less exuberant.

[KIDDING OF COURSE.]

So uh....are you headed to a game?

[bedazzling]

[And she teasingly punches his arm in response, laughing a bit.]

Yeah, yeah, we'll see. And don't you come crying to me if your mun wants someone to liven up the party!

Also, my mun's considering it. She's still getting used to how things work around here so it might be a while. What about you? Are you going somewhere, Dipper?

[pinevestigator]

Yeah...technically, I'm already somewhere, but nothing's happened...yet. Place called adventuresofooo. My mun keeps telling me it's full of mysteries and stuff, but I....uh...

[He grimaces, rubbing the back of his neck.]

...Well somebody we know...is going to be there. But I'm not too thrilled about it.

[bedazzling]

Ooooh, mysteries! [She holds up her hands and wiggles her fingers, grinning.] Maybe I should come with, and we could be the Mystery Twins again! Solving conspiracies, hunting for the supernatural... It'll be just like Gravity Falls all over again!

[The idea sounds appealing to her, really, but her excitement soon fades at his sudden change in emotion. She tilts her head to the side.]

Hmm, somebody we know but you're not too pleased on them being there...

[Thinking, thinking, thinking...]

...it's not... Gideon, is it? [FROWN.]

[pinevestigator]

[Though he's still a bit uneasy about his company in this game, he brightens at Mabel's suggestion. Every instinct is telling him to tell her to stay away for her own safety....but man would he feel better if his sister was by his side.]

You think so, Mabel? I'd really like for you to be with me, to be honest....though this place will probably be filled with terrible monsters, and dungeons and-

[He stops when she mentions Gideon. If it were Gideon he would have raised a LOT more Cain at his mun in a previous post.]

Oh no no, no it's not Gideon.

[Thank goodness.]

It's uh......Bill. ...Actually.

[bedazzling]

[Needless to say, his warning would have fallen on deaf ears anyway. Considering all they've been through, there wasn't much for her to be scared of anymore. The ordeal recovering the shack from Gideon was more than enough to quell her fear, and though a peaceful summer would have been enjoyable, the idea of fighting monsters alongside her brother just like before was even better.]

Then consider it done, Dips! And please, we've already done things like that back in Gravity Falls. It'll be the same thing here! Just... your mun will probably have to help mine out. Mine's never joined a game before, so this'll be her first.

[She sighs in relief at the fact it's not Gideon, but then her eyes widen in shock at who it actually is.]

Bill? You mean, that jerkface is gonna be there too!?

[And suddenly she feels your pain, Dipper.]

[telemysticist]

Now whadya need other boys or vampires for, when ya could be my queen? Yaknow I'd do nothin' but treat ya like one!

[bedazzling]

...Gideon, for the last time, we live in a democracy!

[Subtle way of saying she's not interested... please take the hint...]

[telemysticist]

... First Lady then?

[Nooope. Hint status: not taken.]

I'll let ya be whatever ya want, 'long as you're mine!

[bedazzling]

[And she sighs heavily. She was sure that'd work.]

I– No... Th-that's not necessary...

[telemysticist]

[He frowns.]

Then what's it gonna take?

[bedazzling]

[Oh no. That frown makes her feel slightly guilty even though it shouldn't.]

Well, maybe we should, um... see other people? Yeah! I mean, I'm sure you'll find some other girl prettier than me to be your queen, riiiight? Ahaha... ha...

[telemysticist]

[Are you serious, Mabel? He seems almost offended by the suggestion!]

A girl prettier than you? Ain't no such thing! You're the ONLY one I want!

[bedazzling]

[She's trying SO hard. She tugs nervously at the collar of her sweater.]

Well, I mean, you never know... There could always be a, um, another pretty girl with long brown hair and braces and sweaters and...

[OH GOODNESS, NO. That last bit makes her shudder.]

B-But we're both... young, you know? Like, isn't it a bit early to make commitments like that...?
