Video
[When the feed flickers on there's something...not right about it. Everything's dark for a second and the screen shakes a little bit, and there's the muffled sound of someone's voice.]
I--! I think I got it! Now just--
[Something suddenly happens though - the device falls and there's glimpses of a tree and flashes of blue and red and then the ground and it's dark again. There's some groaning, and then the view flips to show Wirt, off-center, tied to a tree in the middle of the gnomes' territory. Naturally, he looks like he fits right in with that costume on, but he does not look like he's having a good time in the slightest.]
H-Hello? I-Is this...can anyone hear me? This is Wirt and I...I-I'm. These little bearded guys knocked me over and dragged me off into the woods a-and they all want to marry me, I think? They-- They've got me tied up and I could like really, really, really...j-just. Someone help? Help me? Please?
[It's becoming more and more apparent that Wirt doesn't realize he turned the video on too, and that people can see his sad, gnome-related predicament. He's also not good at throwing his voice and is just generally pretty hard to hear.]
Serious, c-can someone come untie me? Help!
[It takes him a couple of minutes, but eventually he manages to end the recording with his foot. Everyone will get a super good look at his mismatched shoes in the meantime.]
[ooc: Dipper and Mabel are going to come to the rescue, but anyone else is welcome to chime in and laugh at his predicament or offer sympathy or whatnot.]

no subject
Victor doesn't have to wonder long--the gnomes swarm into the frame in a cacophony of strange outfits and hats.]
Wirt. [The screen goes black.] Damn it.
[How much should he worry about the intentions of a band of gnomes? It's all so ridiculous. He can hardly believe he's rushing outside to track down a boy abducted by living lawn ornaments, his device clutched in his fist.
Following a trail is theoretically easy, but it takes Victor more time than he'd like to find the clearing he'd seen on the screen. It's quiet now, not a gnome in sight. Neither is Wirt for that matter. Taking into account every clue in the broadcast, he eventually triangulates where Wirt must have been sending the video from.
There's no boy. No blood, either, which is a relief. Just rope resting at the base of a tree. Had those creatures taken him again, or someone else...?]
