[ Video / Action ]

[matchmade]

[ 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. ]

[He stares for a moment, then steps towards her again. He's got this.]

You go to sweatertown. [He puts a hand on her shoulder gives her a small smile.] But you don't have to do that now, cause I'm really me, and there are no evil triangles anywhere around, right?

[ Mabel grins, punching his arm lightly. ] Right. You big nerd.

[ So that's one theory busted. Not that she was ever very good at the whole theorizing thing to start with. ]

But if it wasn't Bill...then how did we end up here?

That's an interesting question. [He pulls his journal out of his vest and starts flipping through it.] If you look at all the evidence there's a clear pattern of...

[He sighs and shuts the book.] Nothing. I've got nothing. The Author never covered Wonderland. It's a pocket universe, apparently, and we might be stuck forever, but I'm trying not to let that worry me too much.

[ Mabel doesn't really like this. Dipper is supposed to have all the answers thanks to that dumb journal of his, and yet...here they are with nothing to go on. ]

Wait, wait, what? Forever? Pocket Universe? I--wow. We can't be stuck here forever, bro bro. Mom and Dad would kill us.

Only maybe. I still think they're exaggerating. Apparently people come and go all the time, but never on purpose. [He gives her an encouraging smile.] Don't worry. I'm working on figuring it out. The Author might not have been here, but a lot of other people have, and you should see their notes! It's like having a hundred journals.
