Day One; After Body Announcement, Before House of Horrors in the afternoon

[ineptus]

[A lot about today has Mabel rattled, and the previous night didn't help any at all. So once investigations get under way and after the debacle with the whole newspaper deal, Mabel takes Dipper back to her room to talk, sitting down on the bed. Because there are Things to discuss.]

...Dipper, I don't like this game. I don't like any of the rules or any of the roles or anything.

Comments

[ineptus]

[She nods.]

Yeah! Or if we need to tip each other off about information!

[terci]

That too! [Yes, we mustn't forget about the information.]

Speaking of information, we kinda got a little sidetracked here with the secret code...

[ineptus]

Oh right...okay so, what did you want to know? I don't know a whole lot about my role but...we kind of got sidetracked fighting to really ask a whole lot of questions.

[terci]

Uh well I just want to know if you think you might be able to convince your "partner" to give me a key the next time you meet... [It sounds kind of useful to have..]

[ineptus]

I can try. I don't really want to talk to her again. She was really unpleasant...

[terci]

But don't you kinda have to talk to her? [He frowns though, feeling bad for his sister.]

[ineptus]

Well yeah. They lock us in a room together until we talk and make a decision...

[terci]

Well then use your Mabel charm and persuade her! I mean, I don't care that much about getting a key, but you guys'll have to come to agreements. You can't just never give any out to anyone.

[ineptus]

I think that's what she wants to do? Maybe? After she suggested you'd probably kill me, I kind of just kept yelling at her so we never really...discussed it...

[And she kind of feels ashamed about that, now that she thinks about it more...]

[terci]

Mabel, those keys could be really helpful to some people. They could save someone's life! [Someone meaning his]

[ineptus]

I know but she just...she makes me so mad! But I'll try...

[terci]

I'm sure she'll listen if she sees just how adamant you are about it. Or hey, maybe I'll go introduce myself to her later?

[ineptus]

Maybe...

Maybe it would be better if I introduce you both though? If I just give you her name I'm sure she would just yell at me again.

[terci]

Sure. If you think that'll be the best way to do it.

[ineptus]

Okay...what about your buddy? Are you going to introduce me to them too?

[terci]

Yeah, if you want to meet her!

[ineptus]

....you're buddy's a girl?

[Eyebrow waggle.]

[terci]

Y-yeah, why? [Don't you waggle your eyes at him, missy!]

[ineptus]

Is she cute? [Elbow to his ribs.]

[terci]

W-what? No! [MABEL NOW IS NOT THE TIME]

[ineptus]

I think she iiiiis~ [NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME]

[terci]

She's not! [NO]

[ineptus]

She's not cute? That's awfully rude to say! What kind of gentleman are you?

[terci]

N-no I-I didn't mean that she isn't cute! I'm not just interested in her, okay?! [Boy he could feel his ears and face heat up in embarrassment]

[ineptus]

Uh huh. Sure.

[She'll continue the ribbing later when she's seen this mystery girl.]

Alright, any other important business to discuss or are you ready to go investigate a dead body?

[Mabel you really don't need to sound so excited about this. It's amazing what a shift in mood can do to a girl's view on a situation.]
