[cabalistically]

[ The video starts with an elf centered in the frame. He’s bald and dressed in armor that’s mostly ornate metal, burnished golden scales, and a large pelt of some furry animal. There’s no fear in his eyes or confusion. If he’s affected by his arrival, he certainly doesn’t act like it. His expression is calm and confident. His voice, when he speaks, is measured and soft. ]

Wonderland, I've heard it called. [ There's the slightest uptick at the corner of his mouth, as though he's gently amused by the name. ] Yet I question the truth of that claim.

[ His eyebrow arches in what appears to be curiosity, the movement made more obvious by his lack of hair. ]

To whom is this place meant to wondrous? And why? Is it the prevalence of magic?

[ There’s a dryness lingering in his voice as he asks that last question, as though he’s wholly unimpressed by what he’s found. His neutral expression doesn’t change, but the dryness remains. Solas is not impressed, though admittedly, he might be anywhere, witnessing wonders untold and still find them lacking against the glory of his precious Arlathan. ]

I fear I’ve seen marvels far more astonishing than this communication device. [ His voice shifts, becoming faintly criticizing. As though the place has disappointed him. ] What of the rest of you? How do you find your accommodations?

Hi everyone! [Dipper waves, giving a slightly awkward grin.] It's been a while, so I thought I'd let people know: I've been running a regular "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons" game and anyone can join in if they want. It's... very similar to something called "Dungeons and Dragons" that's found in some other worlds. And not really hard to pick up!

[That is a flat out lie it is INSANELY complicated.]

Anyway, I'll be in the library for a little while if anyone's interested in making a character sheet for it.

[He moves to turn off the feed, then pauses.]

Oh, and I can't believe I even need to add this, but we've got a really strict "No Murdering Players" rule in the game. We're keeping all deaths to ones the dice cause, okay? [YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, PEOPLE WHO NEED THIS MESSAGE.] If that's going to be hard for you, this isn't the game for you.

Private to Alice

Hey, you around?

[She pointed out he'd never tried to reach her first. So it's worth a shot.]

Action

[As promised, Dipper will be in the library for the next few hours, with several large volumes of rulebooks as well as a handful of books on different ghost legends. Later, he can be found in the gym, vest and hat off to the side next to a pile of books about fighting. He's currently going up against a punching bag and... definitely losing.]
