video } I said, hey, girl with one eye

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper's sitting in his room, holding a red-wrapped piece of paper and looking very seriously at the camera.]

So, I just received a very interesting package–Mabel and I both did–I mean, we each received a different package, and… [He holds his up, then holds the note up to the camera.

It reads: In the search for something lost, do what you know you must. -RQ]

So clearly they're important, and I thought it'd be best if we open them nice and slowly and everyone can have a chance to see and weigh in, cause this is definitely a puzzle, and–

[–and Mabel shoves her way into frame violently, pushing Dipper aside and slamming a jar in front of the camera. The jar contains (1) blue eye that darts around in confusion at being jostled so savagely!! For a hot moment, Mabel does not care about that. She’s too busy looking a bit frantic.]

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. This is the moment I’ve been training for since I first met Alice. [She balls a tiny hand into a fist.] I have one of her eyes, man. But that’s one more eye than I had before!

[She’s… definitely going at this with all the passion of a drill sergeant.] So my question is… Who’s got the other one? [SUSPICIOUS SQUINT. YOU BETTER NOT BE HIDING IT FROM HER. SHE WILL FIND YOU.

Dipper looks annoyed at the intrusion until he sees just what it is she has, at which point he looks shocked and amazed, one hand going to his head.]

Mabel, that's amazing! Oh my gosh, we have to find the other eyeball and figure out where the heck she hangs out when she's not announcing events… I'm going to get a clipboard!

[Whoops dashing offscreen now. There's a thump. Followed by an "I'm okay!" then another thump.

Mabel watches all of this with increasingly more pained flinches at Dipper tripping over everything, all while hugging the jar close to her chest.] Um… We’ll be right back, guys.

[She flicks the camera off.]

( thank you dipper, for reminding him of the no eyes part. he appreciates it. )

More of a superhero in training, kinda. But I've got all the cool super powers! I'll keep an eye out for her.

[powerofmabel]

I think the teen superheroes are overpowering the adult ones. Finally! Our time has come! Long live the resistance!

[She's joking.]

[krmvgivv]

How many adult superheroes do we even have? I know there are some teens.

[kryptomight]

I've heard there're some, but I haven't met them.

And I'm not quite a teen superhero. I'm ten.

[powerofmabel]

That's a good age. I remember when we were that young.

[krmvgivv]

[Five whole years ago, but it feels more recent than that. Maybe because it is. Wonderland time doesn't really count, does it?

He's an actual, real live 15 year old teen. But he doesn't look like one, and unless he leaves Wonderland, he never will.]

Preteen superheroes are cool too.

[kryptomight]

I think all superheroes are pretty cool.

( he was a fan for the majority of his life, and stuff--still is, if his action figure collection has anything to say about it. )

Do you have any idea where Alice might be?

[powerofmabel]

We're gonna try her room and go from there. Maybe she'll know we have her eyes somehow and find us first.

[krmvgivv]

There is magic involved. Maybe she can still somehow see us. [He crouches in front of the jar and waves at the eyeball.]

[kryptomight]

Sounds like a good plan to me!

( not that he really gets what's going on here or anything, but. )

I'll look for her room, too. If you guys need any help, I um. I have really good hearing, so you can just call for me if you need it. I'll hear you.

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel presses her hands to her cheeks and looks at him like he's the CUTEST THING EVER.] Tiny super-ears...

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper side-eyes Mabel.] His ears are normal sized for his age, Mabel. You realize that, right?

[He looks back at Jon.]

We know where her room is. But, uh, thanks? We'll keep that in mind.
