[ the feed shakes for a moment, before a sign comes into frame as cordelia's chipper forced-infomercial voice dictates: ]

 
Wonderland got you down?  Having a hard time coping with supernatural events that they definitely didn't have back home in Dullsville, USA, or whatever your dimensional zip code was before you got here?  

[ the card lowers to present cordelia's grinning face, where she sits in the offices of angel investigations, on the front desk cross legged. ]

Well, lucky for you, some of us are used to this kind of nonsense, and we're here to help you.  Whether you need protection or just someone to look into some kind of weirdness that you can't deal with alone, Angel Investigations can be the heroes you need.  Find us on the fourth floor, in room 10... especially after sundown.  

We help the helpless!  So help us help you.

[ she holds the sign back up and waves it a bit, before pushing it closer to the camera so that it zooms in on the logo one last time.

(replies can be over the network, or action replies at the office). ]


[oocly: also, don't forget you can request a vision from cordelia at any time to foreshadow plot events! ]

[allaboutme]

[ yeah no, she figures this is something else ] Can I help you?

[likeseggos]

[so plainly, like duh it's me fam] Help.

[allaboutme]

Wait. You're the one who was on the phone?

[ she looks her over like uhhhhhh ] No offense, but we're kind of full up on child labor.

[krmvgivv]

The term is intern. [One of said interns is here, carrying some big books. He shifts them so he can wave when he sees who's at the door.] Oh, hey, Eleven, right?

[likeseggos]

[she nods at dipper, and then, because cordy is being judgy and she doesn't like that shit, she makes the lights flicker out with her special princess telekinesis. fuq u tho.]

[allaboutme]

[ cordy's head whips around to look inside the place ] Don't tell me we got all haunted. How can there be ghosts in a place where people don't stay dead?

[krmvgivv]

Actually, I know at least one ghost who's here who was already a ghost. But I don't think they were ever alive.

[Undertale monsters are weird.]

I also don't think they do stuff like this....

[likeseggos]

[since she's still not getting it, el lifts cordy like an inch or two off the ground with telekinesis while staring at her with deadeyes and a bloody nose. it's fine.]

[allaboutme]

Uh, HEY! Whoa! [ cordelia freaks slightly, flailing limbs out to try to grab the doorjamb ] Ok, ok! You can help!!

[krmvgivv]

Aaaand it's usually not polite to levitate people without permission. [He's just saying. He shifts his books under his arm.]

...I can get tissues if you put her down?

[likeseggos]

[ appeased, she puts cordy down and wipes at her nose with her sleeve. what's a tissue????]

aggressively butts in here

[vampdetective]

[The racket they're making out here is enough to wake the dead-- quite literally, as Angel is rubbing at one eye as he walks out into the lobby from the back room where he'd fallen asleep while researching.]

What the hell is going on out here?

[Why is Cordy holding onto that door for dear life?]

<3

[allaboutme]

Maybe you should ask her. [ cordy glances back at angel but quickly redirects her gaze to the newcomer, as if she thinks she's going to send her flying across the room at any moment ] Although she's not so big on the long-winded explanations.

[krmvgivv]

I guess we've got a new coworker? [And he guesses she doesn't need a tissue. That's.. that's kind of gross. Okay.] Her name's Eleven and she's got superpowers.

[A beat.]

That's all I know.

[likeseggos]

[oh good, she doesn't have to say anything. her favorite. but she will reiterate her key point here, by staring at angel and proclaiming a very terse]

Help.

[vampdetective]

Help?

[Hey, Angel tends to be monosyllabic, too. Maybe they can communicate.]

Do you need help?

[likeseggos]

[she shakes her head.]

Want to help.

[it seemed like a good idea at the time ... maybe if she could do that, she could stop feeling guilty about accidentally breaking the gate to the upside down back home. :( ]

[vampdetective]

Oh!

[Probably about as much as he ever emotes, lbr.]

You want to help? We could always use an extra pair of hands.

[He looks to both Cordelia and Dipper, dubious.]

What was so hard about that?

[krmvgivv]

Hey, I wasn't having trouble with it. Cordelia was the one getting all child labor about it.

[allaboutme]

I just thought maybe we were looking to recruit people who might at least have gone through puberty. [ and then quickly, in case eleven wasn't having any of that, she adds to dipper: ] How do you know about her anyway? Did you two meet already?

[krmvgivv]

We met in the library. She had an awesome book fort. And I'm fourteen, you know. I'd be way further through puberty if Wonderland let us age.

[likeseggos]

[she watches the two of them talk like it's a tennis match. (unsure) she didn't mean to make life so dramatic ok. that's just what she does.]

[allaboutme]

Oh, my bad. You're a whole fourteen. Only two more years to go until your hypothetical driver's license.

[krmvgivv]

Hey, my friend Wendy drove us across an apocalyptic wasteland at 15. While being chased by escaped convicts and eyebats that would turn you to stone with a glance. And we survived all of that. Pretty sure most driving tests aren't nearly that exciting.

[allaboutme]

So not the point!
