✦ 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! ”

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.

[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?

[radscience]

Certainly! Is there anything in particular you would like me to explain? [ Because boy oh boy there is a lot of stuff she could tell him. ] If not, I can just give you a basic rundown of Ooo and the different places and people here.

[pinevestigator]

Umm...I think a basic rundown would be a good place to start, yeah.

[Ooo, huh? What a strange name...then again, he's heard stranger.]

[radscience]

Alright. Then give me one moment and I'll tell you what I can. [ She moves from the room, returning a short time later with a map similar to this one, and hangs it on the wall with some tape. ]

Alright, so this is Ooo. It's a continent divided into many different Kingdoms, each of which is very different from the other. For example, only the Candy Kingdom is made of Candy, and as soon as you near our border, things very noticeably change.

[With his interest immediately peaked, Dipper steps closer to the wall to get a better look at the map. What he wouldn't give for a camera, or a notepad and a pen to copy the map down with. Not that he figures he'll ever really need it....but it would be nice to have some sort of legitimate proof that he was here at one point.

He leans in close to read off some of the Kingdoms he can see at a glance.]

Candy Kingdom, Ice Kingdom, Fire Kingdom...

[A continent, huh? It's definitely a lot more spread out than he imagined, but if Ooo is just a continent, then what makes up the rest of the world..?

He turns from the map to look back up at the Princess, his arms folded across his chest.]

So how big is this Kingdom then, exactly?
