Hey, you've reached Dipper! I'm not here right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you soon!

...

But if this is paranormal-related? Hang up now, call back, let it ring exactly twice, then hang up again. Don't leave a message. I'll get back to you even sooner.

EVIL IS AS EVIL DOES. AND WHAT EVIL DOES TO THOSE THEY LOVE. :)

YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU'RE OLDER.

[krmvgivv]

YOU'RE FIVE MINUTES OLDER THAN ME!

[Apparently Mabel's mirror likes making vague riddles. He is... not sure what to make of that.]

WHAT'S MY MIRROR LIKE?

[He's not sure he can trust anything she says, but he wants to know.]

[hsllgrmthgzi]

[For a moment, she doesn't answer, but the thing about the Pines twins on this side of the Mirror is they're not nearly as dependent (or compassionate) towards one another.

Still. It's not as fun if he just knows.]

NOTHING SHINES BRIGHTER THAN THE BIG DIPPER, BUT, LUCKY FOR ME, COMETS ARE QUICKER. HE CALLS IT A PARTNERSHIP, BUT IT'S ALL A HOAX. AND IT'S NOT MUCH FUN ARGUING WITH A GHOST.

BUT IT'S NOT YOUR PLACE TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.
YOU CAN'T MEET SOMETHING THAT CAN ONLY REFLECT

[krmvgivv]

And apparently the opposite of caticatures is poetry.

[He's grumbling that one aloud, not writing it. But seriously what's so wrong with just using words?

He doesn't like what she's saying this time either. Not after the puppet thing.]

PARTNERSHIP WITH WHO?

[He doesn't think he's going to like the answer.]

[hsllgrmthgzi]

:D : D :D

WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO LIKE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE
YOU SEEK THE ONE WHO KEEPS HIS PROVIDENCE.

[krmvgivv]

[Bill. His double is allied with Bill. Dipper is both shocked that any version of him could be that stupid and entirely unsurprised. It's supposed to be the opposite of him after all, right? Who else would it be but someone Dipper would never work with?

He doesn't like how Mabel keeps talking about him like he might not be in full control. He doesn't like a lot of things he's hearing about the mirrors. And he doesn't know how to make it better, so he does the only thing he can do when faced with his sister (or something like his sister) acting vague and mysterious and responds unhelpfully.]

YOUR POEMS ARE TERRIBLE.

[hsllgrmthgzi]

[well.

that gets a reaction out of her, even if he can't see it. never insult a histrionic's hard work, but she's the composed one, and she has her dignity.]

THERE'S NO SENSE IN BEING RUDE. RUDENESS IS JUST A NATURAL DEFENSE TO HIDE IMPOTENT ANGER.

[krmvgivv]

[Haha, hit a nerve. She's still close enough to being his sister for that to be easy.]

I THOUGHT YOU'D APPRECIATE THE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.

[hsllgrmthgzi]

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM WORKS BEST IF YOU GIVE AND RECEIVE.
AND IT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION THAT NOT HAVING A TONGUE WOULD DO WONDERS FOR YOU, BROTHER MINE.

[krmvgivv]

[...yeesh. That's where the evil part comes in.]

YOU ARE NOT MY SISTER.

AND I'D STILL BE ABLE TO WRITE WITHOUT A TONGUE. DON'T YOU MEAN NO FINGERS?

[hsllgrmthgzi]

WELL, IF YOU'RE OFFERING. :D
THE QUEEN WOULD LOVE A NEW NECKLACE.

[krmvgivv]

NOT OFFERING. JUST POINTING OUT THE FLAWS IN YOUR LOGIC.

[hsllgrmthgzi]

ALL LOGIC IS FLAWED.
YOU'RE IN A COSMIC MISHMASH OF WORLDS, DEAREST.
THERE'S A VERY DISTINCT POSSIBILITY YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING HERE.

[krmvgivv]

[Oh, right, if he knows the right things to say to annoy Mabel, she also knows how to annoy him.]

WHAT, HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?

[hsllgrmthgzi]

TYPICAL.
I ACT WISE AND KNOWING. YOU EXPECT PROOF. I DENY YOU PROOF WITHOUT INCENTIVE, AND YOU CLAIM I KNOW NOTHING AT ALL.
YOU'RE VERY PREDICTABLE. :)

[krmvgivv]

YOU DON'T EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE ANYTHING WITHOUT PROOF, RIGHT? I MEAN, THERE'S NO WAY MY MIRROR IS THAT DIFFERENT.
WHAT INCENTIVE DO YOU EVEN WANT?

[hsllgrmthgzi]

HOW DO YOU THINK I KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT YOU'LL DO?
NOTHING YOU'D GIVE ME.

[krmvgivv]

I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW HALF AS MUCH AS YOU WANT ME TO THINK YOU KNOW.

[hsllgrmthgzi]

THE CORE IS HERE, YOU KNOW.
ON MY SIDE.
THAT'S NOT A SECRET, SO YOU CAN HAVE THAT FREE OF CHARGE.

[krmvgivv]

IT'S ALSO SOMETHING I'VE FIGURED OUT SO THAT'S LESS HELPFUL.

UNLESS THIS IS YOUR WEIRDLY CRYPTIC WAY OF OFFERING TO SHOW IT TO ME?

[It's worth a shot, and it sounds like she'd want him to pay for the favor, but Dipper would love to explore the other side of the mirror. He'd love to see the core. He doesn't trust his sister's Mirror, but she's still Mabel. He's pretty sure he can handle her if she's willing to work together.]

[hsllgrmthgzi]

IF YOU CAN FIND ME. ;)

WHY NOT?

[krmvgivv]

HEY IT'S YOUR SIDE THAT'S GOT THE POWER TO CROSS OVER. GET YOUR BROTHER TO SWITCH WITH ME AND WE CAN TALK.

[hsllgrmthgzi]

SEE YOU SOON, THEN.
