video } entry 2

[Dipper looks even more frazzled than usual. The stress lines that always surround his eyes are more pronounced than usual.]

So, you might have noticed a really strange transmission that went through? That... that's from my world. His name's Bill Cipher. He looks like a surprisingly well dressed triangle, and he's... some kind of demon, I guess. He can get into your head and mess with your dreams and just be creepy.

[He leans in closer to the camera.]

Whatever you do, don't trust him. Really, it's probably best to run as far away as you can if you see him. And let me know if he somehow gets into your head. I've gotten him out before, I can do it again.

[He sits back a bit.]

...that's about it. Any questions?

[Dipper has the right book, but that makes him look even more uncomfortable. Probably because the book says do not summon at any cost.]

Summoning him is a terrible idea. Let's not do that.

Alright, so if we're not going to look for a way to summon him into corporeal form, then what?

[It's an honest question.

Yes. He's taking his cues from a twelve-year-old.]

[Dipper appreciates it. He's gotten a lot of people coming and acting like they know better, people who even might know better, but who act like Dipper has no place being a part of this. Having someone actually ask his advice helps a lot.

He rubs his chin, thinking hard.]

We need more information. I know he's contacted one person already. We need to find out what else he's telling people. We need to learn what he wants, then we can make sure he doesn't get it.

The problem with that being that he's damn near omniscient, right?

[Angel sighs heavily, rubbing at the back of his neck.]

So whatever we do, he's watching.

Something like that. [And there's no way to tell if he's watching right now. But they need to do something. And that means making the plans anyway and hoping it's enough.

He has some ideas of ways he might be able to block the demon out after all. But he's not ready to share them yet for that very reason. He needs to have something more concrete than a maybe.]

He said he's in league with the Queen, too.

Interesting, since I don't think even the Queen knows what she wants.

[It's never been entirely clear to any of them, but it's worth thinking about if Bill claims to be working with her, true or otherwise.]

Whatever it's worth, I'll do anything I can to help. You're the expert this time around, but whatever you need, you let me know.

Really? [The scary vampire that's probably ancient is looking to Dipper as the expert? That is so cool. Dipper nods seriously.] I won't let you down.

Of course. You've dealt with him before-- that means I'd be stupid not to listen to you.

[He's learned his lessons about being bullheaded and insisting on doing things alone, for the most part.]

For now, I can see about looking up a version of the standard sanctuary spell that could at least make your room a demon-free zone.

If the standard stuff works, at least. [He glances up at Angel.] I mean, it's definitely worth a shot. I just... I feel like it would be written down somewhere if it worked.

[Then again, Dipper only has Journal 3. Journal 2 had the summoning ritual. Maybe it has a ritual to get rid of him too.]

In your dimension, maybe, but we are talking about different worlds here. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone or something be susceptible to something from another dimension. It's rare, but it happens.

[Which means it's worth looking into. Research is the name of the game.]

We'll keep all our options open.

And I'd be pretty okay keeping other demons out too. [He's heard enough horror stories about the ones around here that even if it doesn't work on Bill, it'll work on something.]

Pretty sure we can manage that. Wonderland has its share.

[Some of them haven't done a whole hell of a lot since getting here, but that doesn't mean Angel trusts them to play nice indefinitely.]

Sanctuary spell it is, at least to start with. I should be able to get the stuff for it. Might need help with the actual casting.

I could do that! [Dipper bounces on his feet excitedly.] I'm great at that kind of thing!

Great. I'll see about finding the right book to tech-support us through it. And--

[Feel up to running an errand, Dipper?]

We'll need chicken's feet.

[Most of the other components are a little too squicky for him to ask Dipper to fetch himself.]

Chicken feet? [Weird spell already, but Dipper nods.] Sounds like something the closet can provide.

Here's hoping. Sometimes the quality isn't the greatest.

[He's not really sure that matters in cases like this, but it seems like it might.]

Does chicken foot quality matter in spells? [He's... genuinely curious. He hasn't really put much thought into chicken feet.] And what counts in quality? Freshness? Health of the chicken? [He grimaces. This is really weird.]

Uh-- freshness, I think. Otherwise they get a little--

[He cuts himself off just long enough to give a vague sort of wave.]

You know. Ripe.

Eeugh. [Dipper makes a face, then nods decisively.] All right, some fresh chicken feet, coming up.

Edited 2015-07-02 01:34 (UTC)

Right. You grab those, I'll try to find the right book.

[Then they'll be in business.]

We'll move ahead from there.
