video } i found something interesting and we should discover it together

[krmvgivv]

[The door Dipper and Mabel are standing in front of might be familiar to people who have been here for a long time, or who are fond of walking around on the fourth floor and looking at doors. It reads Angel's Investigations. It's closed, and has been for a while. But the twins look excited.]

Hey, everyone! Dipper and Mabel, the last staff standing of Angel's Investigations here. As you may know by now, Angel and Faith are gone, leaving us in charge. We've been working on the best way to use the space for a little while now, and we're finally ready to open the doors of the new Angel's Investigations to the public!

[Mabel pulls a handful of confetti out of her pockets and throws it up in the air.] Boom! [And it falls back down, giving them both a nice smattering of confetti on their heads and shoulders. Yaaay.] We thought about changing the name, but we figured it would be disrespectful to Angel’s legacy and also Cordelia’s logo, which totally does look like a little old man with whiskers.

[SORRY CORDELIA, BUT WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CAN NEVER BE UNSEEN.

Dipper brushes confetti from his hair, then pushes open the door, revealing the office.

It looks a lot like it used to, the old hotel lobby feeling is still there, but there are several bookcases shoved up against walls, as well as several large conspiracy boards, white boards, and a projector.

Dipper beams as he walks in, panning the camera over all the additions.]

We're still investigating, but what we're specifically investigating is the Mysteries of Wonderland. I know, I know, who isn't doing that, right? But what we're specifically doing is consolidating research. I've made copies of all the notes in the library and started to try and organize it. It's… a process. But I think we might really be able to make some headway if we all work together!

[Mabel walks over to the desk chair and flops down on it, giving it a good spin.] So when stuff doesn’t add up or if you find some weird new clue about Wonderland, you can bring it to us, and Dipper’ll put it up on his mystery board, so we can all stare at it. [She stands up in the chair, which seems very dangerous, and gesticulates wildly.] Ooooh. So mysterious. So. Many. Questions~

Mabel! [Take this seriously Mabel, oh my god. Dipper shoots her a glare.] So. Uh. Yeah! Come on down. We're here to clue in the clueless!

Very professional. Colour me impressed.

Also, feel free to use my revised logo.

[He's even sketched it down again to hold it up for the camera.]

[powerofmabel]

[sage nod] The legend lives on.

[catchacold]

Ironically, you're not staying off his lawn.

Still, you got my blessing.

[Since that is obviously what truly matters.]

[determinedest]

[That's a good idea, actually. They're not so good at solving mysteries, but it might mean...something to do, in case things get dicey. They have the shield Shepard gave them, and they have a power in their chest, and if that guard was never going to come to fruition, this might be the next best thing. Right?]

Do you need other, um...employees?

[Is that the right word for them?]

video

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper grins and nods. He's not sure employees is the right word either, but he still gets what Frisk is asking.]

Yeah, you can definitely come help. It's a big job.

[Alphys comes on, looking pretty excited and bouncing a bit in view.]

Oh! Uhm, d-do you have any information about the CORE? Or, uhm, the storage of memories. I was thinking of, uhm, e-embarking on a sort of project, and any information that's already been gathered would be helpful.

[video]

[krmvgivv]

Sure, a lot on the CORE, not as much on storage of memories. [Dipper starts rifling through papers.] What's your project?

[video]

[normandysbest]

[She can't help but smile a bit at their oh-so-professional display. But hey, someone has to be investigating things, and they did pretty well on the Citadel, so...]

I might have something for you two, actually. How much information do you have about the Queen of Hearts?

[video]

[krmvgivv]

A lot, but we can definitely use more. [Dipper hops up and goes over to one of the shelves, poking through the books.] What've you got?

Video

[moraloutrage]

[Oh, it's both of the twins together! And with that announcement...]

C-consolidating research?!

[Ishimaru begins weeping openly at the idea.]

It's happened! I have discovered some of the truest comrades that I could hope for!! It would be my honor to help this cause!

Video

[krmvgivv]

[Oh, he's... enthusiastic. Even Dipper doesn't get this emotional about research.]

Um. Cool, dude. We're happy to have you. You good at alphabetizing? And color coding?

Video.

[cakebuffet]

[What great timing that something like this should go live so soon after Ann's arrival in Wonderland, when she and the other Phantom Thieves find themselves with a whole lot of Wonderland-centric questions.]

Sounds like this is the place to go for anyone who wants to catch up on all there is to know about this place.

[Especially if they're interested in the perspective of other kidnap-ees, which she very much is.]

I'm sorry to hear about your friends. I think they'd be glad to know you're keeping things going!

Video.

[powerofmabel]

Yeeeah, that kinda happens- people coming and going. [BUT LET'S NOT DWELL ON THAT.] But Dipper and me have been here for almost two years now. We're basically Wonderland experts now.

[she looks over at Dipper.] Oooh. Maybe I can expand the information thingy. I'm thinking it needs a lot more color.

[Ford is grinning. He figured the kids were up to something and this seems like such a great outlet for them.]

Great job, kids! I'll give you copies of my own calculations and theories to add to the pile.

video

[powerofmabel]

Thanks Grunkle Ford! And I so have to add a section in the new pamphlet about how portals to other dimensions don't work here, but they do make awesome water slides.

[mr_englishguy]

Greetings and hello. What kind of information are you looking for? I've been doing a tiny bit of research since I arrived, mostly into native creatures. Or the distinct lack thereof, as it is.

Also, as I was actually speaking of this with another recently, do either of you know if anyone has gone through the device history and documented the events and oddities that people have spoken of in the past?

video

[powerofmabel]

What happened to the White Rabbit?! [Mabel holds up a rough draft sketch of one page of her NEW AND IMPROVED INFORMATION PAMPHLET that just has a white rabbit in a suit coat with question marks surrounding him and little captions like "HAS HIS TIME FINALLY RUN OUT??" underneath.]

[Dipper can... answer the other part of that. Mabel has her priorities.

[noreason]

Do you need any help with organizing that stuff?

[A beat.]

I'm not saying I'd be that much help, but I kind of want to know what you found and that sounds like the most constructive way to do it.

video;

[powerofmabel]

We're still kinda organizing it ourselves. I think Angel used to use this place for police work, so we're still kinda redecorating...

[she has... very little idea of what actually went on in here except for Angel looking broody and cute.]

[thevulnerability]

[ After talking to Dipper when she first arrived, Chloe isn't at all surprised to see he's one of the minds behind this. At least, it was way better than sitting around waiting for something to happen. Nice to see people taking some kind of action. ]

I'd be happy to offer some more help if you need it. [ Why not? It's basically what she did back home. Well, back home it was more murder and less weird Wonderland nonsense but that was neither here nor there. ] I'm also trying to help Elena with any information we can find in the library, so I imagine that would probably help your research, too.

video

[krmvgivv]

Oh, I like Elena! She's awesome at research.

[Dipper is not exactly an average teen.]

But yeah, we're totally interested in anything you find. Bring it here, we'll make sure anyone can access it.

/latest ;o;

[shorthair]

[ So Dipper is seriously amazing. Also, she really likes Mabel a lot. She sort of thinks they're the perfect duo in how they compliment each other so perfectly. Mostly, this whole network post makes her smile. ]

This is really awesome and important. You both did a great job.

I want to help too. [ She can help organize if nothing else. She's also interning with Georgia but with the Dipper spending so much time here, she's likely to be there more often too. ] If we can figure out how this place works, we can be prepared for what it'll throw at us and find a way to give people the choice to go back.

[powerofmabel]

Exactly, Clem! We're all different here, but we do basically want the same thing- to go home... Or go to other worlds that are better than our homes.

[ZOMBIE WORLD PEOPLE SHE'S LOOKING AT YOU.]

[mrsarcastic003]

I love a good mystery board. I don't think I have anything to add yet, but I'd love to have a look.

[powerofmabel]

I'm gonna have to start giving tours.
