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.

Totally different. Why would it have to do with the mindscape? No we just borrowed a time machine once.

[fulllifeconsequences]

I'm figuring out your world's rules secondhand. Maybe beings in the mindscape exist outside linear time, for all I know.

Makes about as much sense as having spare time machines just lying around.

[krmvgivv]

I mean it makes more sense than just wanting it really hard.

Also ours can go forwards and back and by a way longer amount of time. Thousands of years even.

[fulllifeconsequences]

[Well! Isn't that interesting. One LOAD to bury a surname, and Dipper knows how Chara rewinds time, and seems to have an idea how far back it can go.]

You're not the only one who can read between the lines, detective.

You've been talking to Frisk, right?

[He definitely knows Frisk, and Sans' knowledge is all secondhand and half-remembered moments of deja vu, anyway. Who else would have spilled?]

[krmvgivv]

[WHOOPS. He definitely wasn't supposed to mention that. Too bad he can't go back a few minutes himself.]

Well, yeah. What did you expect me to do, not try and find answers?

If you want your save thing to be a secret you probably shouldn't use it so much.

[fulllifeconsequences]

That's a little funny. It was not for my own sake that I kept that secret.

Everything I know about exploiting that power was learned. Taught. Part of the guidance I received.

[krmvgivv]

What do you mean?

[fulllifeconsequences]

Exactly what I said. Aren't you supposed to be reading between the lines, detective?

[krmvgivv]

Doesn't mean I'm not gonna try and get as much information as possible before drawing my conclusions.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Doesn't mean I am going to hand out secrets for free, either. That's a little too one-sided, don't you think?

[krmvgivv]

Fine. Were you keeping it for Frisk? That doesn't make any sense. They're the one who explained it to me.

But that would mean someone else can do it too.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Took it a little too far. Frisk was the one I kept it for, in fact.

Which makes it interesting that they would tell you so easily. I'm going to guess it was because there was no risk of consequences for them. In fact. I'm going to guess that it was entirely for the sake of defeating me?

[krmvgivv]

Are you gonna get all weird about this? Cause I'm pretty sure it was way more about the risk of consequences for other people. I did have a lot of reason to believe you were gonna try and kill Max. I'm glad I was wrong, but I still had to prepare for the worst.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Am I ever not all weird?

I don't mention the consequences for other people because they, apparently, were never a deciding factor in what was done with that power. Guess the rules are different now that we've grown apart!

[krmvgivv]

Well speaking as other people they really should be.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Sorry, Dipper, I don't make the rules! I just enforce them. With knives.

[krmvgivv]

Yeeeeah see it's things like this that make me want to prepare for you getting stab happy. What is with you and knives?

[fulllifeconsequences]

Sentimental value, mostly.

I could talk about ballet shoes or notebooks instead, if you would prefer. I have used those to kill too. Or is it more polite to pretend that never happened?

[krmvgivv]

....how? Death of a thousand paper cuts? Strangled with ribbons? Could you really not find any better weapons?

[fulllifeconsequences]

Anything's possible if you're determined.

[Seems especially ridiculous in retrospect, since those were the best weapons to pick from during a time where they went up against a true heroine. Boy, it must REALLY sting to know the champion of the world's hopes and dreams went down to something as ridiculous as a bunch of kicks or feeble whacks from an ineffectual book. They mull over long enough for there to be an awkward pause between the last text and this one.]

Sorry. Just remembered something funny.

Anyway! Dipper Pines! I'm sure you're the sort of person who agrees that resourcefulness and ingenuity will get you farther in life than waiting for the ideal circumstances. Sometimes we just have to use what life hands to us.

[krmvgivv]

I'm just saying I'd be resourceful and ingenious enough to find a rock or a heavy stick instead. On the other hand I really wouldn't be looking for murder weapons, so it's not like it would come up.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Well! Sounds like you've got your path all sorted out.

Maybe next time, I'll hold out hope the fallen human gets named Dipper. I bet I'd have an easy time of it if I were you, huh?

[krmvgivv]

You do know there's more to being me than having my name, right?

[fulllifeconsequences]

Sure. I'd have to be extremely insufferable, but luckily, that already comes pretty easily to me.

[krmvgivv]

You also have to not be homicidal.
