[Oh look, it’s Mabel and Dipper again. And… Well, Mabel is crowding in front of the camera right now, so it’s more “Mabel and Dipper’s face squished off to the side. SHE IS VERY EXCITED OKAY.]

Good morning, Wonderfriends! ...Or whatever the time is, since time’s relative here.

Are you tired of not knowing what’s really going on? Are the pamphlets you get when you arrive just too boring and lack both detailed information and color. Do you really not know who all those people who announce events are and why they’re so important?

Well, look no further, ‘cause Angel Investigations has the guide for you.

[Dipper finally manages to push Mabel out of the way enough to get his face more firmly in view, shooting her a frustrated look in the process. WHY IS SHE LIKE THIS.]

Not that the pamphlets aren't great! [EVIE IS HIS HERO HE WILL SAY NOTHING AGAINST HER HARD PAMPHLET WORK.] But they really just scratch the surface and, well, once you're a little more settled in, sometimes you might want all the information in one convenient place rather than having to go digging for it.

[He holds up a small booklet.]

Presenting Dipper and Mabel's guide to Wonderland! Your one stop guide for detailed Wonderland basics.

[Mabel pushes her way back into frame again, gripping Dipper’s shoulders in a sort of hug-tackle so he’ll stay down.] With drawings made by me! Mabel!

[He pushes his way up again, squeezing into the bottom of the frame and scowling.]

And useful information compiled and summarized by me, Dipper.

[He straightens, trying to look as professional as he can considering Mabel basically has him in a headlock.]

We've also got a digital version for people who like having less paper. Come down to Angel Investigations and get your copy today!

thanks

Tim Drake, right? Or Tim D? Are there multiple Jays here?

[postictal]

yeah him

not that i know of
unless you count the mirror but i don't think anyone does

text

[powerofmabel]

We'll call him May, if he ever comes up.

[postictal]

["What. Why."]

[That's what he starts to type before he decides, fuck it. They're kids. They probably find it hilarious in their own way.]

he'd probably hate it
which means you definitely should

[krmvgivv]

I'm always in favor of doing things that mirrors hate.

Have you met him?

text

[postictal]

no
if he’s anything like the real thing he doesn’t get out much

[powerofmabel]

I guess that means he's less likely to ruin your life and take your stuff.

[postictal]

i think he’s committed to a little of both honestly
if a mirror keeps quiet that’s not usually a good sign huh

[krmvgivv]

Better sign than when they start writing on your mirror in lime green ink.

[postictal]

why lime green
is that bad

[powerofmabel]

Nah. Dippy Fresh is really into neon. And my Mirror writes in pink lipstick.

[postictal]

your mirrors are conveniently color coded?
any particular reason why

[krmvgivv]

I think they just like those colors.

I mean I'd wonder if they want to be able to easily deceive us by swapping colors or something but Dippy Fresh isn't smart enough to think of that and Mirror Mabel hates him too much to try to impersonate him.

[postictal]

i guess that's my other question
do you know why they all hate each other
like i guess it's the principle of it

seems like they'd get a lot more done together

[God help them if it ever comes to that.]

[powerofmabel]

They either all wanna be the Queen's favorite or they don't like her. Kinda makes things tense over there.

[postictal]

i mean
i think it's obvious that it's a game that's gonna be rigged anyway
right

[krmvgivv]

That's why it's a trap.

Keep them pitted against each other, they can never team up and try and overthrow the queen or anything.

[postictal]

don't any of them realize that's
kind of obvious

[powerofmabel]

A cat knows there's a way out of a paper bag, but if it gets stuck in one, it can't find its way out again.

[SO WISE...]

[postictal]

[Weirdly on point?]

and it's in our best interest to keep them guessing anyway

[krmvgivv]

Yeah. We definitely can't trust them.

[postictal]

agreed there
i've got a [Pause. Then, just 'cause it's easier, and for no other reason:] friend who might get some new info on the red queen pretty soon
but she'll probably keep everyone posted

[powerofmabel]

omg. are you serious? that's awesome!

[postictal]

the reporter lady
georgia mason?
she and shaun and alphys

[And him. And Jay.]
