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. ]

Threaded | Flat

Mabel! [Dipper stares at the camera for a moment before all but falling out of bed in his haste to go find her.]

Stay right there--I'll be right down there! You're in front of the Mansion, right? Never mind... I'll find you!

[And now she gets crazy camera angles because he's got the phone on still but he's running.]

[Now that spring has sprung the Pie Maker spends roughly 37.6% of his time outside, instead of the usual 15.28%, which gives him warm afternoons in the gardens and greenhouse as well as time to assess the status of the beehives further off near the woods. (Said beehives are doing well and harvesting the honey for pie dough has been a resounding success for both deliciousness of his pastries, and making him feel less homesick about Chuck.)

Walking out of the foyer and under the portico Ned almost treads on a small person, side-stepping at the very last minute with an exclamation of surprise and a graceful turn that has him swinging around one of the colonnade columns.]

Um. [It's a kid. He narrowly missed imprinting the soles of his Converse high-tops on a kid. Geez.] Hey.

...An evil triangle?

[What. Why would a triangle be evil? Shouldn't geometrical shapes just sort of be true neutral or whatever? He wants to judge even harder, but...she sounds kind of worried, and he remembers being freaked out and scared when he got here, so maybe he shouldn't be quite so hard on her.

But, he's not going to lie either.]

Um. Sorry, but...I don't think there is an exit. Everyone who's here has been stuck for a while now.

An evil triangle?

It's hard to say what I would do if I was an evil triangle. Where did you last see it?

[ Luna opts for helpful and no-nonsense. ]

I haven't seen any evil triangles here, but admittedly I don't know what makes a triangle evil.

[There's a tall girl dressed all in black - black dress, black gloves, flowing black hair, sporting a black umbrella - who eerily looks down at poor Mabel Pines. She slowly tilts her head.]

Another little one...
