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.

[He nods once, appreciating the input.]

I've known for awhile that there's something off about him, but my senses haven't been able to pick up on it. We're not friendly enough for me to have been able to witness anything firsthand, but I've seen the videos he's put out. Talked to him a few times. What happened with Chara?

action;

[krmvgivv]

Well. the thing about Chara is... [How best to put this in a way that won't get Chara in trouble?] They can be... kind of creepy. And I guess they scared Max? Which isn't okay, but like, isn't illegal. Then she got scared and told Alex and Alex decided the best way to solve it was to kill them. In a place where people come back to life.

[He doesn't know whether the attempted murder annoys him more or the faulty logic.]

...anyway, it didn't work. Chara killed him instead. But it was self defense.

action;

[vampdetective]

He jumped right to the extreme.

[An extreme no normal person would ever leap to so suddenly, if they ever got there at all.]

Can you tell me more about Chara?

action;

[krmvgivv]

There's... a lot to tell. They've had a pretty terrible life, it sounds like, and now they're... sort of dead maybe?

[Dipper shrugs. Chara's complicated, and he's still trying to figure out the details.]

But they're definitely just a messed-up kid, not a demon or anything. No matter what they or anyone else says.

action;

[vampdetective]

[Sort of dead. Angel supposes he can relate.]

Sounds complicated.

[To say the least.]

Not that it changes anything. But maybe understanding a little more about the both of them will help me help them.

action;

[krmvgivv]

I can't tell you everything I know. [Dipper rubs the back of his neck, glancing away.] I mean, it's not all mine to tell.

action;

[vampdetective]

That's fair.

[He nods once-- Angel can respect that.]

Then just tell me what you can. It doesn't even have to be right now, but--

[He exhales, sighing.]

I just want you to remember that you can trust me. What you have to say? That matters to me.

action;

[krmvgivv]

Yeah, I know. [Dipper gives a half smile, glancing away. Not many adults actually seem to care what he has to say. It's nice... finding someone who actually does and admits it.]

I still think working with Alex is a mistake.

action;

[vampdetective]

You might be right. And trust me, I'll be keeping that in mind.

[But he shifts his weight as he glances back towards the door, arms still folded tightly.]

I just gotta follow my gut on this one. I feel like people might be safer if he's where I can keep an eye on him.

action;

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper nods.]

I guess that's ok, then. Just... be careful. I don't think he can take you, but anyone can roll a perfect 38, you know?

action;

[vampdetective]

[Oh my God, Dipper.

Angel smirks wryly, appreciating Dipper's concern.]

Let's hope I don't have to make a killer fort check anytime soon.
