Well howdy, all you beautiful people! Lil' Gideon here, just tryin' to figure out what the gosh darn heck is goin' on! [ his lower lip wibbles a little, and he looks somewhat downtrotten. ] Y'see, I was just mindin' my own business, sleepin'...when all the sudden, I wake up here! Outside! Can you even believe it?!

But...I can't say I recognize this place at all, no I certainly do not. Any sweet creature want to let me in on where we are?

[ the innocence is palpable. It's almost over the top. But he does look a little perturbed. ]

[NOPE NOPE NOPE Of all the people who had to show up from home why did it have to be him? Dipper would have preferred Robbie. Really he'd prefer anyone. ....except Bill.]

Gideon.

[uncaging]

This place is apparently Wonderland, as in Alice's Adventures there. Although it's not quite how I remember the book being.

[ Dipper Pines. Mortal enemy number one. He hears that voice, as obnoxious, as aggravating, as annoying as ever... ]

2/2

[liloldme]

Dipper Pines. How quaint to see you here, friend.

[ his eye twitches, but he smiles. nothing quaint about this. he hates you very, very much. ]

[liloldme]

Oh! Oh, I see! [ he looks around and nods affirmingly. ] Why, that sounds delightful! But, uh, you wouldn't...happen to know what we're doin' here, would you, friend?

[ he's a little too confused to pop out his adorable faces quite yet. ]

[needlebearer]

They kidnapped you here while you were asleep? [Rude.] That's a new low.

[liloldme]

I thought so. [ he looks super, super distraught, when in his mind, he's setting the building on fire. He sighs a little. ]

You said... kidnapped?? Is that what happened?? Someone...kidnapped lil' old me?! [ someone is going to be stabbed. he looks only a little angry at the fact. when he says his last line, his eye twitches just a little bit...stay cool, Gideon. ]

[wriggedywrecked]

What the f-fuck is going on with your hair. Is, is it sentient? Are you okay? Is it a parasite? I ca-can kill it for you. Dear god it's hideous. Are you like a tiny pallid D-Donald Trump?

[krmvgivv]

[It's very, very mutual.] Yeah, whatever. What's the last thing you remember from home?

[With anyone else, Dipper would be hurrying to fill in all the exposition. With Gideon, he.... really doesn't feel like it. But it's good to know what they're dealing with, timeline wise at least.]

[video]

[liloldme]

[ he glowers at this dude, man. glowering. ]

You got somethin' to say about my hair, old man? Well, I believe you best take care of your own face-bug first! [ he's referring to your unibrow. he makes a motion across his forehead to make sure that you feel the full impact of his major burn. ]

[ also who is this, this 'donald trump' character, he sounds legendary. ]

[liloldme]

Why, I don't seem to recall a darn thing! [ he's lying, and definitely recalls everything. ] Not a dang thing-- 'cept for my peach dumplin' of course.

[video forever]

[goodwoofjames]

I hope you've found the mansion by now. If not, I can come and find you. This place is, er. Smaller than it seems.

[Much smaller.]

[video until the end times]

[liloldme]

Oh! I have, but I'm much obliged for your hospitality. [ cuteness. It blazes through the video like a knife. ] I go by Gideon! My friends call me Lil' Gideon! [ or at least they would if i had any ]

You live around these parts, stranger? Mind tellin' me how I got here? [ he is kind of wanting to hear 'a read it in a red journal with a golden hand on it', but at the same time, he didn't wake up with his copy, so...refinding the journals could be a huge pain in his side. sigh. ]

[krmvgivv]

[Eww. Dipper grimaces. Talking to Gideon makes him want to take a shower, and Dipper never wants to take a shower.] You do realize Mabel's not food, right? Or yours.

[liloldme]

MABEL IS MINE! [ he lashes out suddenly, furiously. Huffing ferociously, he puts his free hand out in front of himself and takes a deep breath in. Composure lost AND regained in a record seven seconds. ]

You should meddle where you're not welcome, Dipper Pines. [ his pleasantries are all but gone. he sneers a little. ] It'll getcha into trouble someday.

[ seethe. seethe. hissssss. ]

[rosswood]

wow
what the gosh darn heckle freckle is that accent sir

[And this is coming from a fellow southerner, even.]

[goodwoofjames]

[Okay, he's not calling him that. That's weird.]

I was taken from my home, just like you were. There's only a few creatures who actually are from here, although it's hard to say-- [He waves a hand. Too much too fast.]

Uh, there's a pamphlet someone just made that might explain it better. Maybe you can find a copy out somewhere? It's easier to answer questions once the basics are covered.

[krmvgivv]

[It already has gotten Dipper into trouble more than a few times. The bruise on his cheek is evidence enough of that. Not that he wants to admit that to Gideon.]

I can handle a little trouble. You haven't figured that out yet?

[Could say something about when Gideon is from. Since Gideon himself is cooperating exactly as much as Dipper would expect him to.]

[Meet one of the people who falls for the innocent routine, hook line and sinker.]

Th-this is Wonderland! It's... it's a long story, but, um, I'm sorry, you might be here for a while.

[uncaging]

Sorry. [She's irritated both with herself for not having figured more out yet - despite still being so painfully new - and with their hosts for remaining so mysterious, knowing nothing good ever comes of that.] I'm still fairly new myself, so I'm sure there's far more for me to learn about this place, but nobody I've spoken to seems to have a good answer on why we're here.

[needlebearer]

Well I certainly didn't ask to get stuck here, and I haven't met anyone else who has. [She's not very good at sugar coating things, and kidnapping is the closest she understands it.] They don't seem to want a ransom, though. [Not that there's anyone left to ransom her to, as Sandor Clegane had already discovered.]

[powerofmabel]

Ugh. Gideon. Of course if Wonderland starts picking off all of Gravity Falls, it brings you instead of, I dunno... Wendy. Or Candy. Or Grenda.

Or Toby.

[SHE WOULD RATHER HAVE TOBY.]

[liloldme]

You only handled it last time because Mabel came and saved you! [ and...also me, by association. ] I woulda had you cut to PIECES if my sunflower hadn't intervened!

[liloldme]

No, no, it's quite all right! Everything under the carpet and all that.

You were taken here, too? Aw, well bless your sweet lil' heart! My friends call me Gideon, by the by-- you got a name, ma'am? [ it's mass mayhem in head-planet g-diddy right now, man. Make allies. not even friends. Just...people to fall back on if necessary. yay, meat shields! ]

[liloldme]

No ransom? What kinda kidnapper don't leave a ransom note? Or ask for anything?

Mind if I ask how long you've been hangin' 'round here?
