[krmvgivv]

[Dipper looks even more frazzled than usual. The stress lines that always surround his eyes are more pronounced than usual.]

So, you might have noticed a really strange transmission that went through? That... that's from my world. His name's Bill Cipher. He looks like a surprisingly well dressed triangle, and he's... some kind of demon, I guess. He can get into your head and mess with your dreams and just be creepy.

[He leans in closer to the camera.]

Whatever you do, don't trust him. Really, it's probably best to run as far away as you can if you see him. And let me know if he somehow gets into your head. I've gotten him out before, I can do it again.

[He sits back a bit.]

...that's about it. Any questions?

He seems weird, but he can't be that bad. If he tries anything, I'll stop him.

[krmvgivv]

He is that bad. And do you know how to stop him? Because in addition to all the weird mind stuff he can do, he's intangible!

[ ...Surprisingly well-dressed triangle as opposed to ordinary casual Friday triangle? Don't- don't even ask, Philip, just see if you need to sacrifice your other leg to this nonsense. ]

Is there anything that keeps him out of your head in the first place? Spells, sigils, a healthy diet of sodium and holy water, that sort of thing?

text;

[krmvgivv]

Not that I've found. But I have a spell to follow him in there so you can force him back out.

[unground]

More demons.

[ how charming. ]

and this one will teach us geometry, how sweet.

video;

[krmvgivv]

Oh my god, you're green. [...that's rude, Dipper. Which he realizes after a moment, at least, and cringes.] I mean... there's nothing sweet about him. He's dangerous. More dangerous than anything I've ever--I'm sorry, are you a gem like Amethyst? Can you shapeshift too?

...I'm getting off topic. Bill. He's not likely to teach you anything except how to never sleep again.

unasked-for ACTION

[improvident]

[Bill swirls into existence right in front of Dipper's face because A.) he can, B.) he doesn't need video, and C.) he prefers terrifying small children in person.]

ЩӨЩ, ᄃΛП'Ƭ Λ GЦY ΉΛVΣ Λ VΛᄃΛƬIӨП IП ΛП ΛᄂƬΣЯПΛƬΣ DIMΣПƧIӨП IП PΣΛᄃΣ?

I DIDN'T WANT THIS ACTION

[krmvgivv]

[Lucky Bill, he gets to hear his favorite falsetto scream again as Dipper scrambles back HE NEVER WANTED ANY GEOMETRIC SHAPE THAT CLOSE TO HIS FACE.]

Like you have any intention of actually keeping things peaceful.

[actualwizard]

[Well that's definitely stranger than normal and deserves some attention.]

A well dressed triangle that's a demon? Well now I've heard everything.

[It sounds like a terrifying episode of school house rock. Or something.]

Video

[krmvgivv]

It's a lot scarier than it sounds! [Dipper makes a frustrated, strangled noise.] He's a well dressed demon triangle that can mess around in your head!

Video;

[messiahwithagun]

This would be the first time I've heard the phrase "surprisingly well-dressed triangle." He can molest people's minds and dreams, and it's his fashion sense that unnerves you?

[krmvgivv]

No, but it is a strange detail. Why does a triangle need a tophat and a bowtie and a cane? Why does a triangle need clothes at all? Does he think his dapperness will help him take it off guard? [He frowns and points at the camera.] Don't let it work!

[undealt]

Well. That's a relief. For a moment there, I thought Wonderland decided to give us another colorful local to add to its collection.

[This is not better, Gold.]

[krmvgivv]

Believe me, that would be better. [Oh hey, this guy does magic, doesn't he? And had given Dipper that potion when they... thought they were part of a weird club/fraternity thing. Not that Dipper's considering making a deal to counter anything Bill might do. Haha. No deals for Dipper.]

Video

[thneedifestdestiny]

A triangle? Seriously?

[He's seen a lot of weird things in his time, but he can't even fathom a geometric shape being good or evil or...well, any alignment, really.]

Video

[krmvgivv]

Yes. With one eye and a top hat.

video

[keeperfromtheflame]

[That explains...some of the questions she had. All but one:]

Do you know what it said? The message that appeared at the end.

video

[krmvgivv]

Oh, that? It was in an Atbash cipher. Read "Don't take any wooden nickels," whatever that means. [He frowns, sticking a pen in his mouth as he thinks.] Whether there's some deeper meaning behind it... I'm still working on that part.

video

[louisianawolf]

A ... well dressed triangle? That's a demon? [She's just trying to make sure she heard right.] You must be from one hell of a place.

What exactly do you do when he gets in someone's head?

video

[krmvgivv]

I've been spending my summer in the craziest town I've ever been to.

You follow him. Only way to get him out is to fight him.

[Video]

[vampdetective]

A demon.

[Angel had seen the transmission, but had opted to observe rather than engage. Seems like that might have been the right choice, for the time being.]

You and I should talk. In private.

[Video]

[krmvgivv]

We can try.

[At this point, he's not sure how much private is a possibility with Bill.] Where?

video.

[ganking]

[ triangle demon? that's a new one to check off the list. ]

Didn't know demons come in... that shape. [ as much as he'd hated being a demon, he's glad he wasn't a triangle. not that being a cloud of evil smoke was really any better. ]

So, how do you ward him off?

video.

[krmvgivv]

You can't. I mean, I haven't figured out how... yet. But if he does go into your head, I've got a spell to follow him.

[A beat.]

I mean, I guess dream demons can be any shape they want.

[avoirfaim]

[ After reading this and going back to Bill's message to him, catching the cipher and translating it...well, that does explain a bit. ]

That does sound ominous. How did you get him out?

Video;

[krmvgivv]

The hard way. We had to actively follow him into my grunkle's head. It was... really disturbing.

Voice

[holdthephones]

Surprisingly well-dressed triangle.

[he. he doesn't even. what do you say to that. what is his life.

this deep voice sounds irked as all hell. he's had enough of mind-messing for a lifetime]

Whatever. How did you get him out?

Voice

[krmvgivv]

Me and my sister went in after him with my friend and fought him off.

[halfwinchester]

<sub>[So there are still things that can make Adam do a double take. A smart ass with an interest in Teletubbies is hard to ignore.

What the fuck? And why is this kid mixed up in this stuff again?]</sub>

I got the creepy part the minute that thing whipped out the Sauron eye. Ghosts weren't enough for you? What's with him?

_{["It" might be a better way to put it.]}

voice;

[krmvgivv]

I'd much rather be dealing with ghosts, believe me. [Ghosts are harmless, especially compared to Bill.]

He's a dream demon.

[belovedson]

Pretty sure no one missed that messed up broadcast.

[Because yeah, Neal had seen the transmission and decided not to touch it, thanks. Thing is though, he remembers Dipper from the kid; he's a good kid, so it's pretty hard to marry someone like him with the idea of a demonic dream-hopping triangle.]

So are all the shapes evil, or is there just something weird about the triangle?

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper had liked Neal during the event. But now it sounds a little like he's being mocked. Or maybe he's just touchy because so many people haven't been taking him seriously.]

It's not all triangles. Just that specific one.
