entranceway | [ Video / Action ]

[ At first, the video on the screen is kind of crazy, and it's hard to make out just what's going on. There are fingers and blue sky, and then the bottom half of a little girl's face--and a close-up of her braces--as she taps the phone on her chin. She doesn't realize it's on, let alone that it can connect to literally everyone in Wonderland. She doesn't even know where the heck she is, even if it looks like some weird fantasy land. She would probably assume she was on some cool magic quest thing, if she hadn't been facing off against an all powerful freak of nature before arriving.

She drops her hand to her side, and yep, that sure is a beautiful, upside-down picture of the mansion grounds. ]

Alright, you proved your stupid point! You're as powerful as you are pointy. Can I go home now? I know you're there!

[ Mabel sighs and fidgets with the phone, turning it around in her hand as she just kind of...wanders around, looking for a magic door or...or something. Something to get her out of this mess and back to her puppet show, so she can punch Bill in her brother's face. Ugh. ]

Okay, okay, think Mabel. If you were an evil triangle, where would you hide the exit...?

[ She's got nothing, though, so she continues her aimless search. Eventually, Mabel makes her way to the mansion itself and sits on one of the front steps, setting the phone next to her when she does. Finally, finally the crazy camera angles stop. She sighs and rests her chin on her hands. She doesn't look defeated, exactly, just a little worried. Because whenever crazy stuff happens, Dipper's always been there by her side with information and plans. But right now, it's just her, and she has no idea what to do.

She looks down at the little phone and...woah, hey, it's on. Did she accidentally call someone? Maybe they can help! She scoops it up and puts it to her ear. ]

Hello? Hey, is anyone there?

[ ooc; People are more than welcome to run into her while she's wandering around the grounds. Because really, she's everywhere. ]

Yeah, that's right! I'm his twin sister, and the superior one, if anyone asks. [ Alpha twin forever. ] I was also--ugh--almost married to gnomes. Which was a terrible experience, I don't recommend it.

[ She squints at him one last time and then shrugs. ]

Okay, I believe you. I mean, you haven't proposed or anything yet, so you're probably who you say you are.

[She's already superior in Wirt's mind, because she actually believes he's not a gnome. He's still not entirely sure he ever completely convinced Dipper of that so...yeah, Mabel can be alpha twin. With that settled, he puts his hat back on (and spends an extra second adjusting it until it's just right).]

Yeah, no, that-- that sounds awful. I'll take your word for it. [An awkward little laugh, and a shrug right back at her.] A-And I'm way too young to be marrying or proposing to like, anyone, so you're definitely safe there.

Oh, yeah. Of course! Marrying this young would be way weird.

[ Mabel flashes him a smile and fiddles with her hair a little, with her free hand. This weird Gnome kid is sweet. And cute! And not trying to marry her! It's like she's hit the jackpot. ]

Not that I want to avoid dating or anything.

[Wait until she learns he's a poet and a musician on top of it.]

Hm? Oh. Uh, yeah, I...guess. [He doesn't say "Aren't you too young to be dating?" but he's thinking it pretty loudly.] I mean...you probably wouldn't want to let a bunch of real gnomes scare you off from it forever...right?

[He actually doesn't sound super sure about that. He'd be super terrified of dating again if he got kidnapped and a bunch of gnomes tried to marry him and make him their Gnome Prince.]
