✦ Party Crashers

[radscience]

The portal appears out of nowhere. It’s a giant, opposing mass that, even though it obviously doesn't belong, seems to draw you in as though it’s meant just for you. You have two options; you can walk into it of your own violation, or be forcibly dragged into the unknown. Either way, you end up speeding through an endless void.

“It works!”

You hear the voice from somewhere in the distance and you lurch towards it, tumbling out into a brightly colored, unfamiliar room. The trip leaves you feeling woozy, making the world seem like a kaleidoscopic blur. Someone approaches, offering a hand to help you to your feet before moving on to someone near you. When your vision finally clears, you see Peppermint Butler stepping away from the last traveler, moving to Princess Bubblegum’s side as she smiles and waves to the small gathering of new-comers.

“Welcome, travelers! Good, you all seem to have arrived in one piece, so please do not be alarmed by the sudden change in scenery. I can assure you that everything is going as planned. Now, I’m sure you all must be very confused, so let the questions commence! ”

now what use to him would a brainpuddle be?♥

[donotsummon]

[The shadow has now slipped behind Henry, directly opposite to his field of vision... moving around with the boy as if he were his own shadow.
Although watching closely, he's doing his best to make sure Henry doesn't see him. For the moment, he'd preferred to stay unacknowledged...
At least until the boy falls asleep.]

:T

[theboywiththebook]

[Yeah, enjoy that flaming netherworld. It actually burns people.

In any case, Henry is starting to look around a little bit more. He can't but feel someone's watching him.]

Is someone there?

[radscience]

[ She can't help but laugh just a little. Not to be mean, but it's been a long while since someone reacted like that. ]

Yes, everything here is made out of candy. But please, try not to eat any of my citizens. They might look delicious, but they are still people. [ They have aspirations, yo. ]

[radscience]

I was hoping to find out about the different worlds and universes out there.

[ She holds out the bubble creator for him to see. ]

This is what I used to get you all here. It can create bubbles that rip holes in the fabric of reality. Now, normally they're very dangerous, but I found a way to stabilize them.

[theboywiththebook]

Oh.
[Well...that's not so bad. So he'll let go of his sword's handle.

Seeing the bubble machine she's holding out to him, he looks up to her quickly.]

So, you can open portals to any world and bring anyone here or send anyone anywhere?

[donotsummon]

[Good thing he's plenty accustomed to fire, seeing as its one of his favorite things. There's a reason why in alchemy, the symbol for flame is a triangle.
Unsurprisingly, Bill doesn't respond. There's no one here, Henry. Nothing to worry about. Now go on back to learning about this world. Ask that nice princess some more questions.
You won't know it, but he'll be right behind you, watching and listening to every word.]

[radscience]

Well, I could theoretically. I would just need to find a way to hone in on specific worlds and people.

[theboywiththebook]

[And now Henry is smiling brightly at that thought.]

Then can I make a request? I'd really appreciate it.

[radscience]

Well, I can't guarantee anything, but sure.

[theboywiththebook]

The place you took me from, it's called Luceti. And there's a whole bunch of people there who want to go back home or go live in another world. Would you be able to help them out if you can?

[radscience]

You mean the place you were before, it wasn't your home world?

[pinevestigator]

[Oh geeze, no worries there. ...Though he'll have to remember to tell Mabel that.]

Well I gotta say, this is pretty amazing.

[And as long as they can get home....maaybe he can afford to explore. Just a little.
But questions, he still has questions.]

So then, Princess Bubblegum, if bringing all of us here was your intention it looks like your experiment was a success! Though ahh...you know, just so we're on the same page...you're absolutely sure you'll be able to send us home after this, right?

[pinevestigator]

[After getting his questions answered by Princess Bubblegum, Dipper decided it would be a good idea to slip away from the crowd and take this chance to take a quick look around at the world he and his sister had suddenly been dropped into. He has no worries that Mabel won't enjoy herself during her stay. It's a kingdom literally made out of candy, after all.

Taking the castle steps two at a time, Dipper made his way outside, having passed many of the castle's residents on his way. Bubblegum wasn't lying- not only is everything made out of candy, but so is everyone.
The boy pauses for a minute, patting the sides of his vest before reaching beneath it. To his surprise, the journal's still hidden there, the leather binding brushing against his fingertips as he takes his hand back out. Better keep that to himself, for now.

Meanwhile, might as well get an eyeful of this "Candy Kingdom" while he has the chance, right? Maybe then he'll be able to convince himself this wasn't just a dream when they get back home.]

[theboywiththebook]

No. I was somehow brought there and left trapped. None of us had a way out, well, until now...maybe. If you'll help them.

[eensietay_agicianmay]

[Experiment between multiple worlds or not, a party is still a party! Ales is dancing and mingling with a few of the candy citizens, even busting a few flashy dance moves to impress them.

Should any "traveler" wander too close to the dance floor, he'll slide over and offer a hand.]

Wanna dance?

[bedazzling]

[Oh, Dipper, how well you know your sister. She is absolutely enjoying herself here in the Candy Kingdom! And not only just her but Waddles too. Why, she would be perfectly content with the possibility of not returning home if it meant that she could stay in this sugary paradise. After all, she has everything she needs: her sweaters, her grappling hook, Waddles... and of course, sweets just about everywhere she looked. No need to go home, is there? Granted, there's Grunkle Stan, but she has the feeling he hasn't even noticed their absence over the booming business the Mystery Shack has been getting after Gideon's imprisonment. The less he knows, the better, in her opinion.

Nonetheless, great minds think alike... or perhaps it's just 'twin telepathy.' Whatever the explanation, she too had decided to take on exploring the kingdom, and it just so happens that she comes across a familiar face. With a mischievous grin, she brings a finger to her lip and looks down at Waddles, as if telling him to be quiet, then creeps behind her brother on her tiptoes. When she's close enough, she has to resist the urge to giggle madly as she now reaches over and pushes the brim of his trademark cap down to cover his eyes.]

Hey, dorkface! Guess whoooo~!

[She singsongs her words and laughs loudly as she comes in front of him to reveal herself. Waddles soon joins her by her side, sitting down next to her feet and staring up at Dipper nonchalantly.]

[eensietay_agicianmay]

[After the initial questions have been answered, Ales grabs some food from the snack table and waits to catch PB alone. He wants to find out about this place too, and she seems like the best person to ask.]

So! Can I ask a question about your world? Is everything here made outta sugar?

[He points to the pastry in hand to make a point. It was the least sugary thing he could find, and he still had to scrape a glob of frosting off of it.]

it's been decided on dear mun that these two must be bros.

[theboywiththebook]

[And here's Henry just coming on down those same steps now. He had gotten the bright idea to explore the castle too. Thankfully, he's managed to keep a bunch of his stuff from Luceti. His weapons and his book. Why does an eleven year old have weapons you ask? Well, Luceti does have a tendency to throw children in war so he had to learn ways of defending himself.

When he's going down the steps, he manages to trip on a step and drop his bag open. Arrows, a bow, and a book spilling out on the steps. Bending down quickly, he starts picking up his spilled stuff. ]

Sorry about that.

[When he look sup for a moment Henry takes pause. He notices that this kid had been downstairs earlier.]

Hey, you were downstairs earlier, weren't you?

[radscience]

Of course! I'll need to make a few adjustments to the bubble creator for your return trip, but I wouldn't have brought you here if I wasn't able to send you all home.

[radscience]

Well, they might not be my citizens, but I'll do my best to help them if I can.

[theboywiththebook]

They aren't. You can trust me on that. If they were, I'm pretty sure the group that controls them wouldn't send them to war without asking them. Especially people who don't know how to fight.

[pinevestigator]

Woah what--!?

[Dipper exclaims, teetering dangerously on the edge of the bottom step of the entrance to the castle, his arms windmilling in an attempt to steady himself. His shock is somewhat dispelled though when he hears Mabel's voice, lifting a hand to push his hat back up.]

Mabel! I figured you were going to stay inside for a while to talk to the Princess some more.

[Not that he's all that surprised. To be honest, he would have been more surprised if he found out she didn't rush out of the castle to explore a kingdom made entirely out of candy herself.

Dipper glances down when he hears Waddles grunting softly at his feet, raising his eyebrows with surprise. Well he still had the journal, so it looked like Waddles somehow got caught up when they were dragged here too.]

[pinevestigator]

Good, good....well in that case...

[Man does Dipper wish he had a notebook and something to write with right about now.]

Do you think you could tell me a little bit more about this place? ...This world, even?

hehee yess

[pinevestigator]

[Dipper's initial reflex is to bend down and help the boy pick up what he dropped, but his hand stays when he spots the bow he nearly picked up. Then his expression turns to one of surprise when he lifts his head and sees who exactly was carrying these things in the first place. This kid can't be much older than he is, if not his same age.]

Uuhh...no it, it's alright. And yeah, I was.

[For a second he can't take his eyes off the bow and arrows, finally grabbing the bow and picking it up before standing. Then he holds it out to Henry with a curious tilt of his head.]

Here. ...is this....yours?

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry's already shoving his book back into his bag, also Dipper look what's strapped to his belt on the side. A swooooord. Henry does also take notice to how close in age they are. Huh, it's kind of strange actually seeing a boy about his age now for once in a long time. After all, Luceti didn't have many kids his age.

Now where was his bow...

oh look, the kid with the hat was offering it to him. Henry does take it but nods to the question.]

Yeah. A friend gave it to me awhile back. She taught me how to use it.
